Chapter 503: Chapter 502 Marriage, Love, The Past (2)
“We don’t need to be very rich, just enough to get by. When I come home from work every day, you’ll be at home with the kids, having already made a full table of food. Give me a kiss and say ‘Welcome home’.”
Xia Siyu “hmmed” loudly, sounding skeptical.
Bo Yan immediately corrected himself: “When you come home from work every day, I’ll be at home with the kids, having already made a full table of food. I’ll give you a kiss and say ‘Welcome back.’ On holidays, we can take the kids to the park to play. We’ll fly kites and play soccer with him. If it’s a girl, we’ll buy her toys, dolls, and get her pretty little dresses. But looking at how high our ‘visual appeal’ is, as long as we don’t mess up, our children are bound to be lookers.”
Xia Siyu nodded and “hmmed,” feeling that was more like it. But then she thought: “Who wants to have kids with you? And how could any child of mine be ugly!”
“Right, our Siyu is the prettiest, if anyone were to be ugly, it would be me.”
Xia Siyu lifted her chin proudly. Of course. Otherwise, what had she been relying on for so many years in the entertainment industry? Did they really think it was because of her scandals? It’s all thanks to this face!
Bo Yan also said, “Maybe it’s because I never had it as a child that I desire it so much now. I really do long for a family. With a refined father, a loving mother, and if there’s a girl, I would definitely spoil her like a little princess. If we have a boy, I would teach him to protect his mother and sister at home in the future. They don’t need to be very smart or very beautiful. As long as they are virtuous, have smooth sailing, and are healthy, that’s enough. I will always be there for them, wait until they grow up, and then watch them go out independently and build a little home for themselves.”
He knew that actually, Xia Siyu also yearned for a healthy family, the love of a father and mother, and family relationships that weren’t too complicated. Most importantly, a family that lived together in harmony.
The more indifferent she now appeared towards her family, the more it proved that deep inside, she was actually longing for one. She too craved a home, a warm home. On this point, their goals aligned.
But although Xia Siyu seemed to be carefree, she was very sensitive about things that touched her soul. Even though he knew that Xia Siyu felt the same way, he couldn’t speak for her, and straightforwardly used himself as an example instead.
Indeed, once she heard this, Xia Siyu also fell a bit silent.
No one dislikes a warm and loving family, especially for people like them. The impact of one’s family of origin on a child is such that whatever they lacked in their childhood, they will try to make up for it doubly as they grow up. If they can’t make it up, they might end up following the same unhappy family pattern as before, or else, completely eliminate the option for a family.
Ask Xia Siyu if she wanted a warm family, of course, she did. But with Bo Yan?
She had thought about it, but that was years ago. Bo Yan had disappointed her, and she was timid and stingy with her emotions. Disappointed once, she didn’t want to invest again.
All she wanted was to maintain a relationship with Bo Yan devoid of feelings. Bo Yan was pursuing her, but just because he pursued her, did she have to respond?
By now, she was probably in the third stage, no longer believing in marriage or love. When she was eventually strong enough to leave the Xia Family, she would probably break up with Bo Yan.
Bo Yan clearly saw a glimmer of light flash through her eyes, but it quickly dimmed. She casually brushed his hand away:
