Chapter 854: The Secret Can't Be Kept

Xia Qingtian knew Huo Qilin wouldn't do anything to harm her, it was Bo Jingyan's reaction that was overblown.

She patted Bo Jingyan on the shoulder, signaling him to step aside.

Bo Jingyan understood her gesture, but gave Huo Qilin one last warning glance before reluctantly moving aside. However, he didn't go far, still maintaining a protector's stance beside her.

Xia Qingtian ignored him and turned to Huo Qilin, replying, "I had an incident a few days ago and was hospitalized for a few days, so I couldn't come to the office or answer calls."

As for why her phone was unreachable.

It was all because of Bo Jingyan. He was worried that the company would call her about work and disturb her recovery, so he took her phone away and didn't allow her to answer calls randomly. She had no idea that Huo Qilin had tried to call her.

Yet, to save Bo Jingyan some face, she didn't spell it out directly.
