Chapter 378: Chapter 377: Marital Fun (Bonus for Monthly Pass)

After getting up this morning, Xia Siyu had been fiercely guarding against him.

Whenever Bo Yan got a bit closer, she would immediately raise her defenses, her face filled with waryness as she watched him.

But in the evening, they were supposed to sleep together, weren’t they? Even if they sometimes had separate rooms over the past three years, during those times Bo Yan and she had agreed to do their own things: she would sleep on the bed, and he on the couch, with each minding their own business peacefully.

If it had been before, he might have been touchy-feely, but at least he maintained gentlemanly manners and didn’t cross the line.

But now, although she didn’t have a strong notion about what it meant as a woman, as if sleeping one night would bring about some significant change. Although she spent a confusing night with Bo Yan, it was indeed her who took the initiative, and she could only admit to her actions.

However, what she said to Bo Yan this morning was indeed her true feelings, she didn’t want to have any more emotional entanglements with Bo Yan. Maintaining a marriage without intimacy was already her limit; she didn’t want to reconcile with Bo Yan, let alone get entangled further.

The problem now was that on one hand, she wasn’t strong enough yet to make her mother proud. Shang Feifei’s words still echoed in her mind, “You’re a disgrace to your mother”! She was determined to win Best Actress, definitely before she turned thirty, and preferably several.

If she really could break through on her own, become completely independent of the Xia Family, and not rely on anyone, bringing her mother’s spirit tablet back with dignity, that would be best.

But before that, even though she always loathed the Xia Family, she knew deep down that her father and brother had done a lot behind the scenes to protect her. Because she was merely an Internet celebrity who could be hyped up with money without any real works, her career was like a skyscraper built on sand, which could collapse with the slightest carelessness.

She couldn’t assert with 100% confidence, “I don’t rely on the Xia Family, I rely on myself!”

On the other hand, she had also promised Bo Yan that she wouldn’t move away from his side until she found a new love. Xia Siyu was educated in the West, and a fundamental principle in Western education is “procedural justice.” As long as one’s actions are legal and reasonable without violations, one must not go against them. She was a good child who valued credibility, so even though Bo Yan had overstepped the boundaries with her, there was no procedural violation, and she couldn’t justifiably kick him out.

When Bo Yan entered the apartment in the evening, Xia Siyu was messaging Wei Jingjing while simultaneously preparing to guard against him. After Bo Yan entered, he glanced in her direction and then gave a smile.

Then, as expected, he received a pillow that Xia Siyu threw at his head.

Bo Yan caught the pillow with a laugh, and didn’t continue to bother her, instead he turned and went into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Wei Jingjing was still talking to her. After finding texting too troublesome, she switched to voice chat with her: “… I was talking about for your birthday. Qin’s idea is to take advantage of your current popularity and positive image to hold a birthday fan meet, inviting major fans from the fan club, and then do a live broadcast.”

Xia Siyu’s usual birthdays were spent with her agency and Qin Baizhou, Wei Jingjing, and little Tang. She used to have too many haters, making it impossible for her to hold fan meets. She didn’t want to go back to the Xia Family, and coming to the Bo Family was out of the question.

Before she could reply, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, followed by Bo Yan’s slightly frivolous and flirtatious voice: “Wife, I forgot to grab a bath towel, could you pass me one, please?”
