Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Cleverness Misleads the Clever_1

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan spent some time playing with An’an before dinner time.

An’an was old enough now to start eating some supplementary food. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The kitchen prepared nutritious, easy-to-digest meals that wouldn’t burden his digestive system every day.

Usually, Xia Qingtian was too busy with work to spend time with An’an. She would feel guilty and to make it up to him, she would always feed him personally whenever she was at home.

However, as she was about to feed An’an today, Bo Jingyan spoke up, "You have been busy outside all day, you must be tired. Let me handle this little rascal’s meal."

"No need," Xia Qingtian said, "feeding a child is no simple task."

When she had first started to feed An’an, it took her a while to get it right. Feeding a baby is an unfriendly task for first-time parents.

But Bo Jingyan didn’t shy away. He said earnestly, "If I don’t know how, I’ll learn. You weren’t born knowing how to be a mother. If you can be a good mother, I can also be a good father. I won’t use my ignorance as an excuse to shirk responsibility."

Seeing Bo Jingyan’s persistence, Xia Qingtian stopped arguing.

Indeed, raising a child should be a shared responsibility for both parents. She didn’t spend much time with An’an, Jingyan, as a father, spent even less. Now that he was willing to assume his role as a father, she shouldn’t reject his offer.

"Alright, the task of ensuring that An’an is fed is up to you," Xia Qingtian agreed.

Bo Jingyan was indeed clumsy when it came to feeding An’an, but he was eager to learn.

Xia Qingtian sat next to him, and the two shared a bowl of rice.

As Bo Jingyan fed An’an, Xia Qingtian would take a bite herself, then scooped a spoonful of rice to Bo Jingyan’s mouth, reminding him, "Ah, open your mouth. Time to eat."

By the end of the meal, not only was Bo Jingyan tired, but Xia Qingtian was also sapped of strength.

Only little An’an, with his bulging stomach, started to feel sleepy after his meal.

The babysitter and maternity nurse took An’an back to the nursery to sleep.

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan finally had some time to themselves.

The two had eaten a little too much for dinner, so they decided to take a walk, hand in hand.

Xia Qingtian spoke about the entertainment company first, informing him that the company would officially go public next week.

She said with a hint of regret, "It’s a pity, you won’t be able to accompany me then to witness this important moment together."

"I’m sorry." Bo Jingyan squeezed her hand, his tone filled with remorse.

Xia Qingtian frowned and said, "I’m not blaming you. I’m just a little disappointed."

Bo Jingyan seemed to suddenly think of something. A glint of resolution flashed in his eyes but Xia Qingtian, who was walking beside hi, didn’t notice. Speaking with a similarly regretful tone, he said, "After settling Shi Qian’s affairs, I will accompany you during every important moment in your life."

Xia Qingtian didn’t want to bring up the topic again and dampen their mood.

Upon hearing Bo Jingyan mention Shi Qian, she casually asked, "By the way, what’s the result of the investigation into Shi Qian’s meeting with your mother’s primary physician and the old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor? Any findings?"

Bo Jingyan said, "Nothing! They didn’t leave any traces!"

Xia Qingtian frowned. She found this matter quite tricky. What abilities did Shi Qian possess to sidestep being caught, despite having such concrete evidence? With Bo Jingyan’s capabilities, they still couldn’t find definitive proof.

Could there be someone supporting her from behind the scenes? Who could have such great influence?

She felt that there was more to this than met the eye.

"So, there’s nothing we can do about Shi Qian?" Xia Qingtian said with some chagrin.

"Not necessarily," Bo Jingyan led her to a nearby swing and sat down, "Jiang Xuan has discovered that the old TCM doctor’s young grandson had disappeared for a while while he was treating my mother. The old man even reported it to the police."

Xia Qingtian blinked, ah-ing in confusion.

Bo Jingyan continued, "Later, he suddenly claimed that my mother’s cancer had indeed recurred. When he got home, his missing grandson had returned, claiming to have spent a few days playing at a friend’s house without informing his family."

Xia Qingtian murmured in a subtly suggestive tone, "What a coincidence?"

"Perhaps it is not a coincidence, but an inevitability," Bo Jingyan replied with a teasing smile.

Xia Qingtian understood what he was thinking, in fact, she had a similar suspicion. Plikely, Shi Qian bribed the two main doctors treating Bo’s mother, but the old TCM doctor was rather recalcitrant and not easily corrupted.

So she chose to strike where it hurt most, having the doctor’s grandson kidnapped and used his safety as leverage.

The old TCM doctor had no choice but to cooperate with Shi Qian due to his grandson’s safety, suddenly claiming that my mother’s cancer had relapsed and that he had misdiagnosed it previously.

The old TCM doctor, having treated patients for many years, had a good reputation. It was feasible that he may have failed to treat Bo’s mother, as cancer has always been a challenging disease to cure.

However, the possibility of him misdiagnosing was rather small.

Having figured everything out, Xia Qingtian immediately turned to Bo Jingyan and said, "Since we can’t find anything through the others, we might as well adopt a roundabout strategy and start investigating the disappearance of the old TCM doctor’s grandson."

She felt more convinced the more she spoke and continued analyzing, "The people who took the old TCM doctor’s grandson must have been orchestrated by Shi Qian. Shi Qian must have focused all her attention on the three doctors, neglecting those who kidnapped the grandson, giving us an easier path to act."

In these circumstances, Shi Qian had outsmarted herself.

"What do you think about my analysis?" Xia Qingtian asked, her eyes hopeful as she looked at Bo Jingyan.

Seeing his wife look at him so expectantly caused Bo Jingyan’s heart to soften. He couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her, saying, "You truly are Bo Jingyan’s woman. You are extremely intelligent. Your analysis was perfect."

Seeing that he also agreed with her reasoning, Xia Qingtian’s spirits brightened.

"In that case, don’t delay! Make a call to Jiang Xuan quickly, let him follow this lead about the old TCM doctor’s grandson’s disappearance," Xia Qingtian nudged him and urged him to act.
