Chapter 473: 472 Archives (2)

Xia Siyu began to recall the past, and in fact, she was indeed troubled by Xia Sicai at the time. Not just initially, but now as well.

For her, the real enemy wasn’t Shang Feifei, who competed with her, nor was it Li Yiru, who occasionally wanted to mooch off the spotlight. It wasn’t those jesters on the sidelines like Jiang Bumei and Li Weiyi either.

Her real enemy, from beginning to end, was only one, and that was Mrs. Tong and Xia Sicai.

It was Xia Family that wouldn’t recognize her and her mother, and even hurt her mother!

Anyone who stood on Mrs. Tong and Xia Sicai’s side, no matter who, she disliked. Anyone who didn’t draw a clear line with Xia Sicai and was close to her, was her enemy!

Bo Yan indeed had never been involved with Xia Sicai, at least not before they broke up. There were no misunderstandings between them either.

But at the time, his not rejecting Xia Sicai’s approach was, to Xia Siyu, a form of betrayal!

Maybe in that relationship, Bo Yan didn’t do anything terribly wrong. But precisely, he hit her sore spot.

Added with the stimulation of that event, she decisively broke up with Bo Yan.

…

Seven years had passed, and time healed everything.

She once fell for Bo Yan at first sight, her passion arriving swiftly. But as quickly as love came, it also left. Over the years, she acted in dramas, shot commercials, fought against haters, switched companies; she experienced it all. Those trivial matters of love and affection were already drowned by an endless sea of work.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Speaking frankly, if it weren’t for Bo Yan constantly pestering her, if it weren’t for the fact that they temporarily couldn’t divorce, if it weren’t for her need to study acting and perhaps needing something from Bo Yan, she wouldn’t have let him approach her step by step.

In the world of adults, there’s not so much lovey-dovey stuff. It’s already quite difficult to have mutual interests.

Xia Siyu yawned, turning over, “Talking so much about love, isn’t it tiring? You may not be tired, but I am. Aren’t we good just like this? Anyway, we can’t get a divorce, I crave your body, and you crave mine. Isn’t it nice to maintain a stable, emotionless intimate relationship?”

“Who says it’s nice? Besides, is such a relationship stable?” Bo Yan felt a strong sense of crisis, although he also didn’t think Xia Siyu would so easily have relations with others, but certainly, emotionless relationships change quickly. After all, without emotions, who you’re with doesn’t really matter, does it?

“Unless you promise that before you find a man whom you truly fall for, one you’re willing to give your all for, divorce, and completely sever our current relationship, even if it’s just a little flutter, you can’t leave me. Of course, the same applies to me. Unless I find a woman that makes me want to divorce and have a strong wish to spend the rest of my life with her, I won’t leave you.”

A moment’s infatuation is easy, but after that flutter passes, maintaining a stable and lifelong commitment to love is difficult. Physical relationships are fleeting. If Xia Siyu truly falls head over heels for a man, willing to divorce and spend her life with him, then even if Bo Yan felt miserable inside, he could only smile and wish her well.

Xia Siyu frowned, unwilling to speak. But Bo Yan sealed her lips with his, and after a long, deep kiss, he whispered in her ear, “I swear, if there is such a man, one who is even better than me, and he truly treats you well, and you’re willing to divorce and be with him forever. I’ll let go. But if not, please stay by my side. Always.”
