Chapter 302: Not Allowed to Leave (1)
Xia Siyu was glad she hadn’t worn high heels at home. If those had been stilettos, Bo Yan could joyfully become good sisters with Xia Siyu from now on.
“You—hiss—” Bo Yan had meant to say something, but as soon as he raised his head, a searing pain shot up his spine, so intense that he immediately lowered his head again, his back arching involuntarily.
“Serves you right! That’s for bullying people!” Xia Siyu was no weak woman to be pushed around; anyone who dared to take advantage of her was asking for trouble!
But when she turned around and saw the pitiful state Bo Yan was in, and remembered that she had indeed put all her strength into that kick, she wasn’t sure if anything had broken, but it must have been very painful, that was certain.
Bo Yan must have been in real pain. He didn’t care about anything else, and barely got to his feet, still covering himself with the towel as he limped towards his own room. He checked and saw a slight swelling; since he hadn’t used it, he couldn’t tell if it was damaged, but he knew it was still very painful even after applying a cold compress.
It was a good thing Xia Siyu practiced boxing, not taekwondo, or else one kick from her and he really could have become her sister.
After a long while, when the burning pain finally began to subside, Bo Yan changed into loose pants and came out again. He was going to put on a shirt but hesitated and decided against it.
When he stepped out the door, Xia Siyu was still looking down, texting on the couch.
She was waiting there because, although she felt she was in the right! The scumbag deserved it for taking advantage of her!
On the other hand, it did seem quite possible that maybe, perhaps, she kicked him a bit too hard. If that caused Bo Yan any serious disability, although she was clear in her conscience, she might be legally responsible. She was a law-abiding citizen; she needed to see if her actions met the standard for a criminal case.
When Bo Yan opened the door to come out, she didn’t turn around, still chatting with Wei Jingjing. Wei Jingjing was discussing business matters with her. Fortunately, public opinion was on her side this time, and Qin Baizhou conveniently bought several trending searches to clear her name. Not only was the incident cleared up, but even the previous street fight with Li Weiyi was wiped clean. They could even lead many people to backtrack and clarify some of the inaccurate reports about her past.
Of course, the cost of the trending searches was deducted from her account.
After finishing the chat, Bo Yan had nearly approached her. She still didn’t turn around—perhaps feeling a bit guilty.
Bo Yan sat next to her, and this time, with a glance from the corner of his eye, he noticed that he had put on pants, which probably meant it wasn’t anything serious, so she got her confidence back.
According to the case law, she had the right to inflict harm on him for his undue intentions. It was already generous of her not to hold him accountable; he couldn’t blame her for kicking too hard!
This time, Bo Yan was concise: “I have three things to say.”
“First, I haven’t deceived you. After we broke up, I truly didn’t pursue any women. Nor did I develop a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Xia Sicai.”
Xia Siyu didn’t answer.
Bo Yan said, “Second, you can’t be that violent in the future. I promise that I won’t force you to have relations against your will. I’m not that despicable.”
Xia Siyu still didn’t speak.
Bo Yan spoke again: “The last time we went through security, I carried that watch for you, and you personally promised to fulfill a request from me that was under a hundred thousand yuan. I have a request now.”
This time, Xia Siyu finally looked up at him.
Bo Yan looked into her face and said word by word, “You are not allowed to move out. You must live with me.”
