Chapter 479: Chapter 478 I Like You (2)
As long as her heart doesn’t waver, and she isn’t deceived by Bo Yan, he still has a chance!
Indeed, after Qin Baizhou brought up Bo Yan, all the people on the scene, including Wei Jingjing, glanced at Bo Yan.
There was a tiny bit of worry.
Bo Yan, on the other hand, was composed, lifting a smile, “Mr. Qin has gone to great lengths. I shall humbly comply.”
Although Xia Siyu’s action of breaking free just now made him a little sad, it could also prove in a reverse way that in Xia Siyu’s heart, she wasn’t as nonchalant as she imagined. Their past, their marriage, and the time they spent sleeping together recently must have left some mark on her heart after all.
If it were the past, she would face the overwhelming fury of his fans without hesitation and mockingly say, “I have nothing to do with him.” But now, she doesn’t have the confidence, unable to utter that sentence.
A physical relationship is still a relationship. At least, he’s several steps ahead of Qin Baizhou.
If Qin Baizhou wants to see him show off his affection, he’d secretly flaunt it right in his face!
So, a group of people silently got into two cars, Xia Siyu with Qin Baizhou, Wei Jingjing, and Little Tang in one, and Bo Yan with Song Fengzhi, his driver in another.
After getting in the car, Xia Siyu was actually quite at peace. She knew that as long as Qin Baizhou wasn’t blind, he must have seen Bo Yan try to hold her hand. But she didn’t know if Qin Baizhou was aware of how far things had developed between the two of them now.
She didn’t love Bo Yan, but it was a fact that she and Bo Yan had developed a close connection. They couldn’t get divorced, they lived together, she needed his support professionally, and there was also physical intimacy between them. It would be best if Qin Baizhou didn’t find out, but it was only a matter of time before he did. After all, Qin Baizhou was her agent; she could simply explain it away if it came down to that.
However, after Qin Baizhou got in the car, he didn’t ask about Bo Yan at all. It seemed as if he deliberately ignored the action of her pulling away her hand earlier and only asked her about the customs of the Northwest, inquiring if she was suffering from any discomfort due to the new environment.
Since he deliberately ignored it, Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered to bring it up. After all, this was her own private matter. Even the contract she had signed with her company did not contain the clause “Love will be punished” (because at that time she was already married to Bo Yan), but only “Love must be reported to the company.”
Qin Baizhou had seen it, and it was up to him to ask or not.
But the atmosphere in the car was strange. Xia Siyu chatted with Qin Baizhou about the Northwest’s weather, cuisine, and climate with a calm face, not mentioning what had just happened at all.
Little Tang and Wei Jingjing didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, especially Wei Jingjing, who had worked under Qin Baizhou for three years and knew all too well the meaning of the words “smiling tiger.” Qin Baizhou wouldn’t dare get angry at Xia Siyu, but he might take it out on her, blaming her for negligent supervision. But when it comes to matters of love, could surveillance really prevent anything? Bo Yan said they had been in touch for years, but it was only recently that signs were caught. Their interactions before had been unknown to the company and her.
Upon arrival, Qin Baizhou had booked a luxurious private room. The hotpot here was based on butter, mutton, and seafood. The so-called “fresh” literally meant the combination of fish and goat.
Once the dishes were served and the waiter left, Xia Siyu sat alone in the center, Bo Yan on her left, Qin Baizhou on her right.
Wei Jingjing sat opposite her, a perfect picture of being flanked on both sides, no, a scene of bumbling support!
Who knows if Xia Siyu could hold up with two scheming men vying for her attention.
