Chapter 661: Chapter 658: Exposure (6)
The other people were not willing to let it go. Second male lead wailed, “Why is it that when we toast to you, you only take a sip, but when Bo Yan toasts, you finish the whole glass!”
The third male nodded, “Yeah, we want to toast too! You must finish mine as well!”
The scene instantly turned chaotic.
Fortunately, these people had no ill intentions. Although they insisted that Xia Siyu should drink the whole glass, in the end, they let her finish it sip by sip before dispersing.
Bo Yan didn’t intervene, just sat by calmly.
If it was a well-intentioned social interaction, he certainly wouldn’t prevent it. Both he and Xia Siyu were not lovestruck, and even though they cared for each other, they wouldn’t force the other to comply, nor would they meddle in each other’s work and friendships.
Xia Siyu’s menstrual cycle had just come full circle, having ended a couple of days prior. Tomorrow they would part, and the next meeting would be several months away; naturally, he would come to be with her tonight.
And with her period just over, generally, this would be the safe period, when they didn’t need to be as cautious as usual.
But only for this day. Although Xia Siyu’s cycle was quite lengthy, around forty days, and theoretically, there wouldn’t be a risk of pregnancy within five days after her period, he was quite cautious. Worried about the suffering Xia Siyu might face from a miscarriage, he wouldn’t let himself get too carried away.
The two had an unspoken understanding: one fluttering around like a butterfly gathering friends, while the other sat silently on the side, not making any contact. After finishing the drinks and ready to return, Bo Yan still took a separate car from Xia Siyu. Right before boarding their cars, Song Fengzhi and Wei Jingjing had a tussle over who should leave first, each standing their ground for their bosses.
From any angle, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan seemed an impossible match.
In the beginning, Song Fengzhi and Wei Jingjing were not enemies, only assistants of artists who were rivals. As their celebrities stood in opposition, it was natural for them to be on opposite sides as well.
However, after Bo Yan miraculously won over Xia Siyu, the celebrities made up, but not their assistants. Their ongoing squabbles were partly to separate the image of Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, but also, they truly didn’t get along. Even though Bo Yan and Xia Siyu were the stars, that wouldn’t force their assistants to make nice.
And so, the two continued their stand-off.
Finally, Little Tang, with superior driving skills, managed to get a jump and squeeze Bo Yan’s car off, leaving Wei Jingjing smugly rolling down her window and giving Song Fengzhi a taunting “loser” gesture.
Song Fengzhi, on the verge of passing out from rage, had to remind himself that “a real man doesn’t fight with women,” and watched as Xia Siyu’s car drove off first.
The other artists and Director Sun following behind were speechless: “This Bo Yan and Xia Siyu…,” having played a couple in two dramas, were still at odds.
When the cars reached the hotel, Song Fengzhi followed Bo Yan and Wei Jingjing supported Xia Siyu. Even when crammed into the same elevator, they remained apart.
Inside the elevator, Bo Yan wouldn’t act affectionately toward her, given the cameras.
They made their way to their room doors. Bo Yan had booked the entire floor; he didn’t choose the biggest and most luxurious rooms but those that were just out of the surveillance cameras’ reach.
Bo Yan remained cool the whole way, his expression aloof, tall and straight-backed. Wei Jingjing supported a staggering Xia Siyu, while he walked smoothly ahead without a backward glance.
But the moment they reached a blind spot, Bo Yan immediately turned around, strode up to Wei Jingjing, and swept up his own wife in a horizontal carry. In front of the room doors, he completed the “transfer of power.”
