Chapter 380: Chapter 379 Bathe Together (2)

Xia Siyu kicked out her foot, and although she didn’t hit his “parts,” she did strike his shin.

In pain, Bo Yan involuntarily released his grip, allowing Xia Siyu to finally break free and slam the bathroom door forcefully!

From inside, Bo Yan’s laughter could be faintly heard, followed by the sound of running water; this time, he must have truly been showering.

Xia Siyu clenched her teeth in anger, damn it, how could she have ever thought Bo Yan was too aloof to be interested in women? He was clearly a wolf! A wolf starved for seven years!

Meanwhile, Wei Jingjing sent her a message: “Are you and Bo Yan in love now?”

“Love my ass!” She was furious, and turned her head back majestically to ask, “Tell me about my birthday!”

No sooner had she mentioned “birthday” than a message arrived. It was from her dad, Xia Youbiao, saying, “Siyu, your birthday is next week, come home to celebrate.”

Then Xia Siyu replied without hesitation: “No!”

Xia Youbiao’s response was very humble, almost pleading: “It will be just family, no one else. Just me and your brother, your sister is busy and might not come back. Let’s just have the three of us celebrate your birthday together.”

Xia Siyu’s mood was already agitated and she couldn’t bear to listen to Xia Youbiao’s soft words: “The reason it’s ‘just the three of us’ is because Xia Sicai won’t be there, Mrs. Tong can’t make it, so you say ‘just the three of us’? Well, you, Xia Sicai, and Xia Ju’an, you three are the ‘father and daughters’!”

After that, she hung up the phone straight away.

When she was little, she didn’t quite understand why her mother still wouldn’t come back to the country despite her dad being gentle enough and desperately pleading.

Even after returning, she lived in a separate house and adamantly refused to live with the Xia family.

Xia Youbiao was gentle, but his over-gentleness turned into indecisiveness.

He did love her and her mother. She could feel that he loved them a bit more than he loved Xia Sicai and Xia Ju’an, and this love, aside from the romantic love he felt for her mother, had a tinge of guilt mixed in too.

It was this love and guilt that wore on both her mother and herself. It made it impossible for her to hate him, yet also impossible to accept him.

Unless he resolved the Xia family’s prejudice against her and her mother, unless he changed Xia Sicai’s view of her, unless he kept his ex-wife Mrs. Tong, who still meddled in family affairs despite being divorced, out of the picture, she would never be able to have a normal father-daughter relationship with him.

Already in a bad mood because of Bo Yan, Xia Youbiao’s pestering only exacerbated it. If Xia Youbiao couldn’t address the Xia family’s bias against her, then she had to deal with it herself!

She had declared when she made a fuss at the Xia family’s house that one day, she would make all those people who looked down on her and her mother respect her, take pride in her, and escort her back home with great ceremony!

Until that day, she would never go back!

Back then, society still had a prejudice against the film and television industry, labeling everyone as actors. Even in her mother’s era, talented actors who won awards were looked down upon if there was the slightest issue in their personal lives.

Not like now, with fan economy and talent reigning supreme!

That day after drinking, she told Bo Yan she needed to win the Best Actress award quickly and improve her acting skills. Although she was drunk, her words truly reflected her own thoughts. Even without Shang Feifei’s provocation, she had to improve herself, to claim the Best Actress award as soon as possible.

The fastest shortcut was only one: Bo Yan.
