Chapter 404: I Have No Regrets (3)
Xia Siyu’s footsteps instantly retreated, and there was a hint of surprise on her face.
Just as surprised was Xia Sicai. She had also not expected Bo Yan’s response to be so succinct, as if it were an immutable truth.
But it was true, no matter how much history they had together, it was all in the past now. The current situation was that she had married Bo Yi, and he had married Xia Siyu.
Regardless of how good their relationship was, at least their married life was fairly harmonious, to the point where they broke the bed with a bag of Doritos…
Still, she felt a faint trace of unwillingness, “Why? Because she’s pretty?”
Xia Siyu was more than pretty; she was stunning. In ancient times, she would have been considered an exceptional beauty, the kind that could start wars over her face.
Even if she were busty but brainless, empty-headed, scarcely literate, lacking in manners, and with a scandalous reputation, married yet still involved in rumors of infidelity.
But she was beautiful, impactfully beautiful, the kind of beauty that stood out in the entertainment industry, the first face you’d notice in a crowd.
Just the type to attract men.
Even Bo Yi, as loyal as he was to her, would occasionally take a second look at his pretty little sister-in-law. Of course, it was just a look, a moment of appreciation with no further thoughts.
But Bo Yan was also a man. Men are visual creatures.
It was totally normal for him to be moved by Xia Siyu’s face.
Xia Siyu critiqued herself from above, “Damn it, isn’t that obvious!”
I’m prettier than you; anyone with eyes could see that. Is that even a question?
Therefore, Bo Yan didn’t hesitate to nod, “Yes.”
“A head full of wisdom is not as good as a handsome face,” mused Xia Sicai with a touch of gloom, but she was still not satisfied, “Is that the only reason?”
After a thought, Bo Yan added another comment, “She has big breasts.”
But Bo Yan was indeed right, Xia Siyu was not only beautiful in the face but also had a perfect figure, truly blessed by the heavens. Entering the entertainment circle was like a fish in water for her, as if fate was tossing golden opportunities her way, and she even needed to create some drama herself.
If she had planned well and worked hard to polish her acting skills, she could have been a legend already. Of course, she was still only twenty-six, not too late at all.
Xia Sicai felt as though she had been shot in the chest twice. She took pride in her own beauty as well, born into a wealthy family, both beautiful and smart, adept in social graces, naturally cherished by the world.
Then came Xia Siyu, who may not be notably intelligent or adept in dealing with people, quite the opposite really, acting without regard for conventions, and yet she was blessed with good looks and a great figure, completely upending the proverbial wisdom like an untrained fighter defeating a master. All strategies were ineffective against her beauty.
Now even the man whom she, Xia Sicai, had once pursued in vain, had fallen at the hem of her pomegranate skirt because of that same face and figure. What a load of crap!
Even though Bo Yi liked her and hadn’t been swayed by Xia Siyu’s beauty, it was hard for her to say how much of Bo Yi’s affection was for her, and how much was for her fraternal twin brother, Xia Ju’an, and her mother, Mrs. Tong, seeing the Xia family as a future asset and thus marrying her without reservation.
Bo Yan then asked, “Anything else? If not, I’m going to rest.”
Xia Sicai wanted to say more but didn’t know how to begin, and in the end, had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
As she left, she didn’t notice Xia Siyu around the corner.
Night deepened gradually.
