Chapter 368: Chapter 367: Take Responsibility for Me (3)
Xia Siyu stiffened her neck, resolutely refusing to acknowledge it, “What’s wrong with that, I was drunk, let’s just forget about it.”
Bo Yan spoke earnestly, “Maybe I could forget about last night since I was drunk, but just now, what happened between us was when I was fully sober. Do you understand what I mean? Xia Siyu, maybe for you this was just a night of confusion, but for me, it was absolutely not. When I was in the midst of it with you, I already made up my mind. You’ve rejected me before, unwilling to maintain a normal husband and wife relationship with me. Yet, now we’ve consummated our marriage, and henceforth, I must fulfill the obligations of a husband.”
Although they were already husband and wife, their marriage had no practical effect beyond a marriage certificate.
Their relationship was even less intimate than when they were dating back in the day.
Bo Yan spoke with righteous indignation, but his central message was clear: he intended to continue exercising his rights as a husband, he wanted to continue with her!
Xia Siyu ground her teeth in anger, did she really look like a fool to him?
She asked coldly, “Do you only want to fulfill a husband’s obligations? What about a husband’s rights, do you want those too?”
Bo Yan replied as if it were to be expected, “Rights and obligations go hand in hand, if I fulfill my obligations, of course I have rights.”
So nicely put, but Xia Siyu wasn’t about to let him beat around the bush; she directly pierced through his vile intentions, “So essentially, you want to continue sleeping with me tonight.”
Bo Yan’s expression was serious, the very picture of moral rectitude. If it weren’t for her recent discovery of how wretched he really was, she might have forever been deceived by his appearance.
He said, “What’s all this about sleeping or not sleeping. Since we’re husband and wife, this is just regular marital life.”
He also considerately added, “Both of us are artists, we don’t have to go public if we don’t want to. I know going public could affect your career. I won’t hold you back. If you don’t want children, we can wait. Even though we’ve been married for three years, we’ve hardly had a moment just for the two of us. Even if you don’t want kids and it stays like this, I can be very open-minded about it.”
He himself was an orphan, having endured icy remarks and partiality from family. If she didn’t want to have kids, he would definitely not force her. However, if she did want them, he would give his child all his love.
As for keeping it secret, that was fine by him. Sneaking around could be even more thrilling.
After saying so much, it all looped back to one point: he wanted his benefits!
Xia Siyu was furious, she decisively rejected him, “What if I don’t agree?”
Bo Yan looked puzzled, “You’ve said it yourself, we are adults, it’s consensual. Why wouldn’t you agree? Is it because I’m not handsome enough or my technique isn’t good enough? But you clearly enjoyed it just now.”
The mention of “technique” made Xia Siyu’s temple throb.
Truth be told, when she was sober just now, she of course had memories of it. Bo Yan was impressive, especially towards the end, that sense of merging was like being scorched, it curled her toes.
To be honest, if they hadn’t had that past, accepting Bo Yan as a casual fling wouldn’t have been out of the question. But with their past, she didn’t want to go back to old ways.
“I’m a man, I need to take responsibility for you.”
Xia Siyu immediately shook her head, “I don’t need you to take responsibility.”
Bo Yan quickly changed the subject, “Then you take responsibility for me. This was also my second time, you were the one who pounced on me, you must take responsibility for me!”
