Chapter 375: Chapter 374: Marital Fun (4)
Shameless! Despicable! Vulgar! Brazen! Dog of a man!
Bo Yan read all those terms in Xia Siyu’s eyes. He wanted to say something more when someone downstairs called out to them, “Young Master Yan, Miss Siyu, time for dinner.”
Bo Yan looked up and responded loudly, “Got it!”
Then he looked down again at Xia Siyu, “Shall we go eat?”
Bo Yan shouldn’t have mentioned it, but as soon as he did, even though Xia Siyu’s eyes were shooting daggers, her stomach betrayed her with an audible “grumble.”
Bo Yan chuckled lightly and didn’t want to force her, so he slowly said, “Let’s eat first. We can talk after dinner.”
After speaking, he got up and considerately pulled her to her feet.
Xia Siyu still glared at him furiously, but while she stared him down coldly, her stomach growled again.
Dammit, it was all his fault that she was so hungry now. Although she was furious, she still had to eat her fill. Only then would she have enough strength to hit him!
Watching her puff up with anger, Bo Yan couldn’t help but lean in and gently kiss her.
Xia Siyu was not one to be taken advantage of. She immediately fought back with kicks and punches, matching wits and strength with him. As they playfully fought, Bo Yan stole a kiss quickly and darted away, with Xia Siyu chasing after him. Whether her anger had subsided was unclear, but one thing was certain: the lively, bouncing guy was back, washing away the feeling of loss from earlier.
They chased and play-fought all the way down the stairs, lucky to be at home wearing slippers; otherwise, Xia Siyu wouldn’t have been able to run as fast in heels. Their ruckus continued until Bo Yan turned a corner on the staircase and stopped. Xia Siyu came up and landed a fierce strike on the back of his head, triumphantly saying, “Not running now, are you?”
Then her gaze followed Bo Yan’s downward, and there below were the Bo patriarch, the grandmother, Uncle Bo Qiliu and his wife Lady Shen, as well as Bo Yi and Xia Sicai.
The main issue was Xia Sicai’s presence; Xia Siyu quickly reined in her fiery temper and straightened up her clothes, adopting a high-heeled stance despite her slippers and walked downstairs head held high.
Bo Yan accompanied her. Although Xia Siyu’s reputation wasn’t the best and Bo Yan had his own complaints about the Bo Family, it had to be said that the two made quite a picture standing together—it was like looking at a poster.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman were both tall and elegant; even as celebrities that came with their own halos, though they faced each other with cold brows, just one glance at each other would set off a frenzy among the couple’s fans!
However, the scuffle between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu had clearly been witnessed by everyone downstairs. The pair appeared loving in public but fought behind the scenes, putting on a lonely show of affection. Particularly, Bo Yi and Xia Sicai exchanged looks and shook their heads. Bo Yi even laughed, “It seemed like you two were fighting just now?”
Xia Siyu rolled her eyes contemptuously, their pettiness reaching the skies as she retorted without any politeness, “What’s it to you?”
And indeed, it had nothing to do with him. She wasn’t his wife. He and his wife were just fine.
Bo Yi turned around, and, as if to confirm his thoughts, Xia Sicai shared an understanding smile with him.
It was time to eat. The last time there had been a family dinner at the Xia household went all the way back to the distant New Year’s Eve. Since both daughters of the Xia Family had married into the Bo Family, and Xia Ju’an was still single, the family reunion dinner was shared together.
Compared to last time, the father and the brother were absent, but it made no difference to Xia Siyu – to her, they were all just strangers.
But they still noticed something different: whenever Bo Yan reached for a dish, Xia Siyu always cut him off!
