Chapter 373: 372: Marital Fun (2)

Xia Siyu was about to retort when Bo Yan moved closer and lightly touched her lips.

That’s why there is a bit of a difference between having and not having done something. Although Xia Siyu was still annoyed by his closeness, being kissed by him, her first reaction wasn’t to angrily bite him back with an “ow,” but to blush slightly.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes had a misty look, but she was resolutely opposed, “Bo Yan, we are both adults now, be mature about it. It’s just one night, it’s not like we haven’t been through this before, don’t act as if you’ve suffered a loss. What era are we in now? There’s no need to talk about responsibility.”

Besides, they had already gotten their marriage certificate.

It’s just that their marital relationship was somewhat abnormal.

Bo Yan’s face was still close to hers, close enough to touch her with a slight lean, “You say you can forget, but I can’t. I’m rather traditional. To put it in a phrase, ‘faithful from start to finish.’ If you hadn’t made the first move, I might’ve let it slide, but you provoked me, I cannot easily let you go.”

Xia Siyu couldn’t stand it anymore. She lifted her head, and with such proximity, the redness at the bottom of her eyes could be seen, her anger poured forth, “To tell you the truth, if it had been anyone but you, I could accept it. But with you, I don’t want it anymore, do you understand? Our breakup before was unpleasant, I don’t want to recall that past! I chose to marry you because you were unintrusive, you wouldn’t bother me, so I got the certificate with you, it doesn’t mean I really want to be husband and wife with you! Bo Yan, if we really have to settle this, I hate you! I…”

The rest of her words remained unspoken, sealed in her throat by Bo Yan. One hand still braced by her side, his other hand held the back of her head, fingers weaving through her black hair.

Xia Siyu, angry, threw a punch at him, which he caught without hesitation, protecting her head as he brought her down with him. Though they went down, except for the kiss, he did nothing else inappropriate.

Xia Siyu resisted for a long time, and he didn’t release his grip, inching closer with patience, gradually wearing down her anger.

Though she no longer resisted, her gaze was still fiery, and deep within her eyes were not just opposition and anger, but also a trace of desolation.

Being so close, Bo Yan finally understood. Before Xia Siyu could get angry, he preemptively said, “I’m sorry.”

Xia Siyu’s eyes were still angry; she had no intention of forgiving him. Bo Yan said softly, “I’m saying sorry not for this kiss, nor for what happened last night. It’s for—our love affair back then.”

Although, he also didn’t know why things that were going so well between them, even the night before they had both given their first time to each other, turned into her breaking up with him right after and then disappearing for over a year.

When she reappeared, she was already a celebrity, coming to process her school withdrawal.

But thinking about it, he indeed hadn’t been very proactive in that relationship and hadn’t spent much time with her.

—And he could see, the anger and desolation at the bottom of Xia Siyu’s eyes were sincere. It was for their lost love affair.

“Even though I don’t know what I did wrong, I’m still sorry. After all, you’re a girl, and you endure much more than I do.”
