Chapter 635: Chapter 632: Liking You (4)
If Xia Siyu admitted it, he would stand up and come forward.
It actually didn’t matter much if people inside the entertainment circle knew because there are many rumors and secrets in this industry, and artists are human too, capable of all kinds of emotions. News could break at any moment, but as long as it was managed well, it would be difficult for internal news to leak out.
Even if the news really did get out, he wasn’t afraid. He and Xia Siyu were legitimately married, and he had never publically pretended to be single; he simply never talked about his private life. On Xia Siyu’s side, it might be a bit more troublesome, but it wasn’t a big deal either, since she was planning to transition to a serious actress. An actress of her caliber needed to hone her acting skills, not her persona.
But no matter what the situation was, he would never let Xia Siyu face the storm alone.
But what he never expected was that Xia Siyu would deliver the hardest blow. Her eyebrows furrowed, her gaze sharp, “Who, who said I liked him? I don’t like him at all, I won’t like him for my entire life!”
It was as if she had drunk too much, desperately denying her own inner words, and she said it extremely loudly—as if the louder she spoke, the more correct she would become.
Her words provoked roaring laughter throughout the house. Everyone on set knew about her conflicts with Bo Yan; onscreen they shared deep affection, offscreen they threw heavy punches. They truly were actors, with a completely different world before and after the director called “cut”.
There’s a saying, “In vino veritas!” Xia Siyu seemed to have had too much to drink, and her words couldn’t get any truer.
Some looked at Bo Yan. He stood with his hands behind his back, slightly lowering his eyes with a calm demeanor. He appeared not at all surprised, nor angry—as if nothing Xia Siyu did could affect him in the slightest.
Director Sun laughed heartily, “Even if anyone in the circle could end up together, the two of you are impossible! Now I can rest easy filming your love scenes! You better act well!”
Xia Siyu, who was already drunk, sat down immediately, resting her head on her arm and collapsing asleep.
Bo Yan remained non-committal, his expression indifferent.
When they returned, Xia Siyu was supported by Wei Jingjing and Little Tang. Bo Yan boarded his nanny van with a clear expression, and from start to finish, didn’t glance back at a certain someone.
Several cars headed back, and at the intersection where the road branched, they split into two groups: Bo Yan and Xia Siyu to the left, everyone else to the right.
Upon entering the courtyard, the host had already gone to sleep. Bo Yan got off the car first, and when he went to the bathroom with his toiletries, he saw Wei Jingjing and Little Tang still struggling to drag someone into their room.
He didn’t glance their way, heading straight for the bathroom. After washing up, he heard Wei Jingjing’s complaints from the next room as he returned to his own, “Letting you drink! You drank too much again! And you’ve gained weight too! You’re so heavy to pull!”
Xia Siyu hummed a response without answering, perhaps a bit more sober after Wei Jingjing had washed her face. She struggled to get up and take a bath. As an artist, how could she sleep without removing her makeup and bathing? Even if she was going to sleep, she had to look beautiful.
Bo Yan sat in his room for a while, hearing her stagger to the bathroom, followed soon by the sound of running water. He sat for quite a while, then got up irritably, “Xia Siyu, I really owe you one!”
Even though he was mad that she spoke her true feelings, mad that she didn’t like him, he still couldn’t help going to help her, worried she might fall while bathing.
