Chapter 626: Chapter 623 Husband and Wife (1)
Actually, it’s not such a peculiar phenomenon for things to go wrong. There is emergency contraception ready at home just in case a situation arises, so it can be dealt with.
The problem is, this is the Northwest, a mountain village, this godforsaken place, where can you even buy emergency contraception?
Especially since it’s not her safe period, if his little swimmers are incredibly vigorous and actually hit the target, they’re screwed!
“This is what you get for being indulgent, for playing around, for being willful.” Xia Siyu pounded with her tiny fists, but before she could land a few blows, Bo Yan lifted a finger and made a “shush” gesture at his lips.
Xia Siyu also lowered her voice from eighty decibels to thirty decibels, almost whispering, “What do we do now!”
Having a child is out of the question, it’s not about being responsible or not. Both of them are legally married, and Bo Yan is not the kind of person who shirks responsibility. If his beloved wife were carrying their child, he would of course be delighted.
But he knew very well that Xia Siyu couldn’t possibly have a child at this moment. Many women after marriage inevitably face conflicts between work and family, which is even more pronounced among artists.
Female artists especially, not only daring not to marry, but also fearing pregnancy, find even dating fraught with difficulties. It’s not just because getting married and having children would mean about a year of downtime, but also because East Asian society’s beauty standards for women still focus on “youthfulness.”
Even if they are married and have children, they try to downplay “the roles of wife and mother” to maintain “youthfulness.” It’s the fear that once you’re typecast, many scripts won’t come your way, and many roles would no longer be offered to you. It’s not just the agencies who think this way; it’s a societal attitude. Many talented middle-aged female artists get typed as a “wife,” and subsequently, can only play the mother of the female lead or the grandmother, unable to showcase their talent anymore.
Of course, the same is true for male artists. Many fans don’t want their idols to marry, and even a serious relationship could lead to a mass unfollowing, as they regard male artists as their own “boyfriends,” thinking, if not to themselves, to not let another woman get him easily.
Although Bo is already an accomplished artist, he still has many fans. Once outed, it could significantly impact his career. So his agency didn’t want it publicized either.
However, if Xia Siyu was ready, or if a situation arose where he needed to stand out and declare his stand, he would spare no expense to protect her and their child.
“We’ll have to ask Song Fengzhi to buy it tomorrow. No worries, taking it within 24 hours is effective, and there’s even a bit longer window, 72 hours works as well.”
Although taking medication is harmful to the body, an unwanted pregnancy leading to an abortion would be even more damaging.
“Alright then.” That was the only option. Before thirty, or at least until she won Best Actress, she had never even contemplated having children, hadn’t even thought about it. And her relationship with Bo was nowhere near that stage yet. Maybe after she turned thirty, if her mindset changed and she felt that having her own child was the most important thing, even if she still hadn’t fallen in love with Bo, she might consider it.
But for now, absolutely not.
“Next time, don’t take such huge risks,” Siyu couldn’t help but complain, even though the issue was resolved.
Bo remained unfazed, “Doesn’t this indirectly prove how formidable I am?”
