Chapter 333: Wife (1)
The moment she heard this, Xia Sicai’s expression in the room shifted from cloudy to sunny.
The owner of the voice was Bo Yi.
The door swung open quickly. He was dressed in a silver suit that matched perfectly with Xia Sicai. Last time, during the car race with Bo Yan, he had fractured his forearm, and in order not to affect his daily work, he had undergone surgery to insert a steel plate. Now, with the jacket on, one simply couldn’t tell there was a wound underneath.
When Bo Yi first came in, he was unconsciously captivated by Xia Siyu, astounded for a moment. But very soon, his gaze shifted to Xia Sicai, and his smile broadened, “You’re really here. The banquet is about to begin, let’s go together.”
Xia Sicai smiled too. Indeed, having chosen Bo Yi, she ought to let go of her feelings for Bo Yan. To her, Bo Yan was her uncle by marriage, her sister’s husband, and also a competitor of both her and her husband.
Besides, Bo Yi truly treated her well, earnest and ambitious, and disregarded other women completely; she should cherish that.
She carefully hooked her arm through Bo Yi’s, being mindful not to put any strain on his wrist. Bo Yi felt her care and gave Xia Sicai a tender look.
Such tenderness, something Bo Yan could never give her. Even if she felt she was exceptional, in front of Bo Yan, there was always a sense of an unmovable iceberg.
—Therefore, she didn’t believe what Xia Siyu said, Bo Yan wasn’t a man who could be easily swayed. Nor could he be the type to indulge in beauty. There were so many beauties in the entertainment industry that he could meet, how could it be that he ignored Xia Siyu for three years after marriage, only to suddenly become inseparable after three years?
Although he was more worried about his younger daughter, Xia Youbiao also loved Xia Sicai dearly, and he asked his son-in-law, “Ayi, I heard you had a car accident recently.”
Upon recalling the accident, Bo Yi’s smile tightened slightly on his face. But he soon smiled again, “Yeah, a minor issue, not a big deal.”
With difficulty, he raised his arm, “After all, I have Sicai taking care of me. She has been a big help to me with organizing today’s banquet, which dad entrusted to me.”
Xia Sicai smiled, “Between husband and wife, it’s only natural to help each other.”
Bo Yi did not speak, just placed his other good hand gently atop hers. This closeness between husband and wife did not need another word to express.
Seeing Bo Yi’s behavior, Xia Youbiao knew he was indeed good to his daughter.
Bo Yi then turned back, “The banquet is about to start, shall dad and Ju’an come with us?”
He glanced at Xia Siyu, hesitated for a moment, but also said politely, “You too.”
Xia Siyu did not respond to him, but Xia Sicai, as if to show off or provoke, deliberately said, “Just now, Siyu said she and Bo Yan are in a good relationship, although they can’t sit together at the banquet, they’re both thinking of each other.”
Bo Yi looked curious, “Really didn’t notice that.”
Did you hear that? The thing about marital affection, it’s not like if you say you have a good relationship, then it is actually good. In this circle, it’s common for couples to be indifferent toward each other, apparently in name only, yet they would show off their love in public during important events.
Xia Siyu thought that by casually uttering a few sentences, she would make Sicai feel uncomfortable. She thought too much!
Xia Sicai still smiled, deliberately jabbing at her, “Indeed, Siyu was saying, she and Bo Yan live together, and that they even got up together this morning.”
No sooner had these words fallen, a man at the door responded, “She’s not wrong.”
