Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Wedding Ring (3)
Translator: 549690339
But when they were looking at wedding rings, Xia Siyu subconsciously glanced at her own hand, and Bo Yan also lightly hooked his left hand’s finger.
At his words, Xia Siyu felt too shy to kiss him on the cheek, so she simply shook hands with him to say goodbye, “Next time we have the chance, let’s get together again.”
Pietro laughed cheerily, “l don’t see much of a chance. You’re so busy. You’re a big star now, aren’t you? Just look at the crowds around you. I never imagined that I used to be neighbors with ‘Monica Bellucci’ from China (‘The Beautiful Legends of Sicily).”
Xia Siyu’s eyes were indifferent, “Not quite, I still need to work harder.”
At least she needed to vin Best Actress or something like that.
After Pietro left, the room returned to its previous state. Cooking was typically Bo Yan’s responsibility, but this time, Xia Siyu was in charge of household cleaning, so she naturally took over the meal preparation tasks without hesitation.
One person washed the vegetables, while the other prepared various sauces. Li Yiru had wanted to join in too, but she had never cooked before, and even when she had come over the previous days, supposedly to help, she ended up being a nuisance.
But the past few days of brushing up against Bo Yan had some effect: Li Yiru finally got her wish and trended on the hot search, and it was not because she paid for the exposure, but rather due to naturally generated heat:
She trended because of the backlash.
It was because she insisted on being a nuisance despite not knowing how to cook, she wore short hot pants to Bo Yan’s morning exercise, and she giggly agreed to whatever Bo Yan said.
Bo Yan’s fans hadn’t been criticizing Xia Siyu much these days, precisely because they discovered Li Yiru, who shamelessly stirred up a CP (couple pairing) on shows. Fans of popular figures are dignified, of course, and could not endure seeing their idol being used as a stepping stone for someone else’s fame, quickly tearing Li Yiru apart on the hot search.
In addition to some absurd comments she had made in the past being dug up, her talent agency tactfully advised her to lay low for the next few days to avoid more trouble.
Having received the news, Li Yiru spoke even less than usual when completing tasks that day. She didn’t dare come to the kitchen to brush up against Bo Yan in the evening.
The kitchen was quiet for a time.
Having spent some time with Xia Siyu in Qingcheng apartment and on the set, it was clear she couldn’t cook. But she was good at supporting tasks like washing and chopping vegetables. With a kitchen knife in her hand, she could rhythmically chop with a grandiose fervor, turning a potato into fine shreds
in an instant. Bo Yan glanced over, noting that they were evenly and finely cut.
She seemed quite adept at housework, coming across as very domestic.
She was now a famous actress, surrounded by seven or eight staff members. Rewinding seven or eight years, when they first met, her family situation was already quite good. After all, she was the daughter of the Xia family, and everything about her upbringing was excellent.
Though publicly, the Xia family hadn’t extensively publicized the fact that they had this younger daughter, he too had only found out not long before their marriage that she was the Xia family’s younger daughter.
But looking at her, she seemed to have experienced hardships. Moreover, who was her mother? It seemed she didn’t want others to bring it up.
Of course, her relationship with the Xia family wasn’t great. She didn’t have much contact with her dad, Xia Youbiao, or her siblings.
Bo Yan had a vague feeling that these memories she was reluctant to recount, and the “mother” she never mentioned, could be the key to all the puzzles..
