Chapter 374: Chapter 373: Marital Fun (3)
Bo Yan’s apology was sincere. He felt that as a man, who had been Xia Siyu’s boyfriend and was now her husband, it was true that gender equality was emphasized nowadays, but in a relationship, he’d been passive, while Xia Siyu had been the active one. She was more enthusiastic, and he was less responsive; indeed, he was at fault too.
Although he still didn’t understand why Xia Siyu suggested breaking up immediately after their first time together. He didn’t even get the chance to make amends before she disappeared from his world.
But no matter what, the fact that he made his wife—also his former girlfriend—feel both angry and lonely meant that the problem lay with him. Or perhaps, the problem had always been there, and he was just too oblivious to notice it sooner.
Xia Siyu had not expected that he would apologize for their failed relationship from so many years ago, which left her somewhat surprised at first. But her surprise could not outweigh the anger, disappointment, and other emotions from that time. She chuckled lightly, “Let it be, just let it go. I won’t hold last night against you, but in the future, could you please leave my world? Wouldn’t it be better if we just lived our lives without interfering with each other, like before?”
“No,” Bo Yan shook his head firmly.
He could admit his mistakes and he could change. But one thing was certain—he would not let her leave his world.
“No matter why you chose me, we are now husband and wife, an undeniable fact. Besides, we can’t easily divorce right now, right? Whether it’s for me, for you, for both of our families, or even because of your mother…”
As soon as he mentioned her mother, even just those few words, Xia Siyu’s expression showed a bit of struggle. Indeed, Bo Yan knew that the reason Xia Siyu agreed to marry him three years ago—at a low point in her career—couldn’t have been sufficient on its own.
She wasn’t after the Xia Family’s money; she didn’t care about them, including her own father and siblings. Even in hard times, she wouldn’t stoop so low. The only possibility was her mother.
Xia Siyu loved her mother deeply, treasured that love, and never showed it in front of anyone, including him.
It was only for her mother that she kept compromising and agreed to a marriage in name only, without any real substance.
Bo Yan’s voice softened, and his eyes became gentler, “So, we can’t divorce easily. And actually, you have feelings for me, right? You can’t help wanting to see me, you can’t help wanting to touch me. Deep down, you still have me in your heart, don’t you? Even if I did something wrong, even if you hate me. But just as you are the only woman for me, I am the only man for you. Since divorce is not an option for now, why not try a different approach and attempt to get along?”
What getting along, after all his talk, he was merely trying to satisfy his own desires!
“Pah! Get along? You just want a free, long-term companion,” she scoffed.
Conveniently, she was right by his side, good-looking, with a nice figure, and now they had a license; naturally, he didn’t hesitate to take what he wanted with a smug smile.
Bo Yan shamelessly said, “Of course. There aren’t many men in China with a good body and handsome looks like mine. Plus, you’ve used it just now, so the hardware and software should still be acceptable, right?”
