Chapter 27 -27: Identity Exposed_1
Listening to his relentless pleas, Xia Qingtian knew she couldn’t refuse, and resignedly agreed.
Many people would be present at the auction. Would she be alright?
After eating, Bo Jingyan glanced at her coldly, and then ordered his butler, “Have someone come this afternoon to do her styling.”
“Alright,” the butler nodded as he kindly looked at Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian’s eyes twitched, and she awkwardly laughed.
Jingyan finished his instructions and left the villa.
Xia Qingtian stayed behind to get styled.
At six in the evening.
Jingyan came to the villa to pick up Xia Qingtian.
She wore a champagne-colored cocktail dress, tied with a bow at the waist, her dark curls draped over her shoulders, and a teardrop necklace on her neck stood out.
The elegant colors and the delicate styling were a perfect combination.
Jingyan frowned, looking at her intensely.
Innocent attire, deceptive heart.
It indeed suited her.
Seeing him staring, Xia Qingtian asked hesitantly, “How is it? Isn’t the styling okay?”
Bo Jingyan averted his gaze and with an expressionless face, he said, “The banquet is due to start, let’s go.”
“Oh…”
Xia Qingtian assented and followed him out of the villa.
They got in the car, the driver fired up the engine.
The car headed straight down the road, quickly arriving at the auction venue.
The Charity Auction Ball proceeded on schedule at the top floor of the Imperial Hotel.
High profile individuals began to arrive one after another, including renowned political and business figures, even major movie stars.

Although Bo Jingyan was generally low-key around the media, he was well known in high society; they hadn’t even reached the banquet and plenty of people had already come to greet him with flattering smiles.
Bo Jingyan replied with a cold face and entered.
Noticing his irritation, the others promptly stopped bothering them.
Xia Qingtian, clinging to Bo Jingyan’s arm, moved around the banquets with him, maintaining a refined and polite smile on her face throughout.
Many speculated about their relationship.
Debating who she was, and how she managed to relate to Bo Jingyan.
Hearing this speculation, Xia Qingtian’s smiling downturned briefly as she glanced in their direction.
It seemed Bo Jingyan’s secrecy about his marriage was indeed effective.
Basically, outsiders weren’t aware of her existence.
“Jingyan!”
As she was pondering, a strong and imposing voice suddenly came from ahead.
Xia Qingtian looked up to see a spirited elderly man walking towards them.
The old man was wearing a white-embroidered Tang suit, leaning on an ebony crutch, and followed by a bodyguard dressed in black.
Recognizing the man, Xia Qingtian was taken aback.
Then she quickly realized.
This was… her grandfather’s friend!
She had entertained him overseas the previous year!
This is bad!
He wouldn’t recognize her, would he?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t her identity be completely exposed?!
Thinking about this potential result, Xia Qingtian turned pale as a sheet.
Her hand trembled slightly, and she nervously glanced at Bo Jingyan.
What to do… What to do…
“Mr. Bo, I’m feeling a bit unwell…” Xia Qingtian swallowed hard, whispering, trying to avoid meeting the elderly man.
Hearing this, Bo Jingyan looked at her, a trace of chill flickering in his eyes. With a cruel smile, he coldly stated, “Endure.”
Trying to run now?
Dream on!
“…”
Xia Qingtian turned deathly pale.
She was anticipating an encounter, when the older man, Mr. Lu, was already in front of them.
“Jingyan, last time you said you had something important to tell me when I got back?” Mr. Lu looked at Jingyan and laughed kindly.
After saying this, his attention turned to the woman by Jingyan’s side, he stared at her for a few seconds, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xia Qingtian’s face showed embarrassment, her lips tightly pressed together, her demeanor noticeably uneasy.
“Mr. Lu, I want to ask you about Shen Qing.” Bo Jingyan said, turning to glance at Xia Qingtian. The corner of his mouth revealing a slight smile, his eyes cold as frost.
Noticing his gaze and hearing her own name, Xia Qingtian instantly stiffened.
Why mention Shen Qing and then look at her?!
Could it be… her guess from a few days ago had come true?
Bo Jingyan had already ascertained her real identity and has been toying with her!
And this auction… was it a trap set up just for her?
Xia Qingtian’s body turned cold, her limbs rigid, fear and unease growing in her heart, threatening to devour her.
Mr. Lu paused, stared at Xia Qingtian for a moment, seemed to understand something, and then said to Bo Jingyan, “You mean Qingqing, it’s indeed been a long time since I’ve seen her.”
“…”
Xia Qingtian felt she couldn’t take it anymore.
She wanted to quickly pull out her hand and run!
If she didn’t run now, whether she could survive the night was a big question!
Sensing her unease, Bo Jingyan quickly pulled her soft waist closer to him, her entire body leaning against him, his cold voice sounding above her head, “Xia Qingtian, quit your little antics.”
Did she think she could escape at this point?!
All her disguises were about to be exposed!
After this, he wouldn’t spare her!
“However, just because it’s been so long since I’ve seen her, I actually mistook this lady for Qingqing. Now that I’ve taken a closer look at her front, she isn’t Qingqing, I made a mistake!”
Just as the tension between the two was about to freeze.
Mr. Lu’s deep and aged voice suddenly sounded, filled with a teasing laugh, looking at Jingyan with amusement.
Once the words were spoken.
Xia Qingtian was completely stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Mr. Lu.
Wait…
Had she heard him wrong?
Mr. Lu said he was mistaken, and denied that she was Shen Qing?
To verify if she had misheard, Xia Qingtian turned to look at Bo Jingyan.
She saw him frowning with a gloomy face, full of disbelief.
As if unwilling to drop the matter, Bo Jingyan couldn’t help but to ask further, “Mr. Lu, are you sure?”
Last time during the banquet, Mr. Lu was absolutely certain that Xia Qingtian was Shen Qing!
How come he had changed his tune only a few days later?
Mr. Lu laughed and patted Jingyan’s shoulder, his voice old but gentle, “I didn’t see too clearly last time, this time I took a good look, this girl definitely isn’t Qingqing!”
“…”
At this, Jingyan’s face turned exceedingly bitter.
Seeing his expression, Xia Qingtian realized he hadn’t given up and was still suspicious about her identity.
However, he didn’t have any concrete evidence at the moment, so she was still safe!
She had to do something to completely eliminate his suspicion!
With this thought in mind, Xia Qingtian wriggled out of his arms and stood aside, pretending to be bewildered, “Mr. Bo, did you mistake me for someone else?”
Bo Jingyan turned his head, regarding her with clear eyes filled with doubt, unconsciously furrowing his eyebrows, he bit his lip but didn’t say a word.
