Although she had just experienced some unpleasantness, Xia Siyu had also consumed quite a bit of alcohol. Her tolerance for alcohol was poor, and as the alcohol’s effects increased and she was someone who could fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, she quickly drifted into dreamland after lying down.
After she rested, the entire villa slept soundly, and everything quieted down. Then, Bo Yan, who had remained lying motionless, slowly opened his eyes.
Today, he certainly had not been drunk. He was not someone who could drink a thousand cups without falling, but a mere two cocktails were not enough to confuse him.
It was intentional.
He just wanted to kiss her.
He and Xia Siyu had known each other for eight years and had been separated for seven, with their marriage occurring three years ago. In those three years, they had agreed to live their own lives and not interfere with each other’s work or personal lives. Yet, he still paid close attention to her affairs. He always had to inquire first whenever there was a scandal.
But they were both too busy, and the life of a celebrity is one of constant travel and uncertainty. Even loving spouses can go several months without seeing each other to visit on set, let alone them.
Feelings, although sometimes long periods without seeing each other can foster a profound longing, it must be said that only accompaniment is the most enduring declaration of love. They had many misunderstandings, and normally being apart meant just missing each other. But recently, after spending more time together, his thoughts towards her began to stir.
He wanted to see her.
He wanted to stay by her side.
He wanted to be in her eyes too.
He feared her departure and felt her indifference towards him.
But he didn’t know how to approach or win her back.
Although over the years, if one must consider having a relationship, it had only been with her. However, she embraced both Eastern and Western thoughts on love, being passionate yet reserved, rational yet romantic. She could both claim and let go. She pursued him hotly when she did, but when she decided to leave, she did so more carefreely than anyone else.
He had never met a girl like her. The girls around him were either the sophisticated and versatile Xia Sicai or the spoiled and pretentious rich second-generation Wu Di. After entering the entertainment industry, there were also numerous female stars like Shang Feifei and Li Yiru who had overt and covert designs on him.
People are probably somewhat masochistic; he didn’t like the ones who eagerly pursued him, but someone who dumped him and left nonchalantly stayed in his heart.
In their recent interactions, he could clearly sense that Xia Siyu didn’t need him. She was independent, albeit a bit foolish at times; yet she was serious about her work and had her own ideas. Despite being criticized along the way, she was undeniably popular. Just one Weibo post would automatically trend in two hours.
She didn’t need to rely on him, nor on the Xia Family; she could live happily on her own strength.
Moreover, there were suitors around her. After all, as a celebrity, there were no shortage of men attracted to her beauty. She was so naive that if some man managed to please her, she might really divorce him and run off with someone else.
After parting ways tomorrow, she might quickly move out of Qingcheng Apartment according to her agent’s advice. Then, even if they were to continue working together on “Spring Light,” it would only be for a brief few months.
Especially today, when she had to choose someone to kiss between him and Wang Zisu, she didn’t hesitate to choose Wang Zisu. Even though it was just a kiss on the cheek, it still ignited a fiery rage in his heart.
