Chapter 303: 303: Not Allowed to Leave (2)
But just because of this, she had to keep living with Bo Yan from now on? Why on earth!
She was getting a little upset, “What kind of request is that? If that counts as a request, we also agreed when we got married that you mustn’t meddle with my freedom. I’ll go wherever I want to. And what if I find true love? Do I bring him back for a romp? What if you find your true love? Will you also bring her back for us to watch together?”
Things were fine until she hit that last part; Bo Yan’s expression twitched slightly.
It took him a while to say, “As long as neither of us has found another person, and without any special reason, you can’t move out.”
“I don’t want that either. What if you lay a hand on me?”
Bo Yan straightened his back, declaring with an air of righteousness, “I won’t. Unless you make a move on me first, I won’t lay a finger on you again.”
Xia Siyu snorted in disdain, “How could I possibly make the first move.”
This man is seriously hilarious.
“Then it’s settled. You can’t move again. If you move, it’ll be to a villa in La Villa de Si, which is also our home.”
“Who’s ‘us’ with you.” Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered with him. She was about to stand up when she saw Bo Yan also standing up, ready to return to his room. However, as he made a move—his face contorted in pain.
He had some self-control, and his expression was managed quite well, even though he was in pain, he just frowned slightly and didn’t complain further. When he went back to his room, though, he walked gingerly.
Watching his struggles from behind, Xia Siyu sniffed in contempt, “Serves you right for bullying people.”

In the following days, Bo Yan indeed lived up to his word, coexisting peacefully with her.
Both were artists with engagements to attend. Sometimes they wouldn’t see each other for days; sometimes one would be back while another had flown off elsewhere.
About the villa matter, once Qin Baizhou had dealt with her business affairs, he also started to inquire.
She had told Little Tang to keep quiet about the encounter with Bo Yan at the villa, and Little Tang dared not mention it to Qin Baizhou. Therefore, she had to respond, saying the owners of those two properties needed cash urgently, for full payment, and she felt it was a bit too much of a burden to bear, so she was considering other options.
Although prime residential complexes like La Villa de Si and Qingcheng Apartments with excellent security were limited, they weren’t nonexistent. Qin Baizhou comforted her, “Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time, we can take it slow”
Xia Siyu hesitated, then said, “Actually… I’ve been spending a bit too much money lately. If I’m not particularly satisfied with the house, I think maybe we should hold off for now…”
Qin Baizhou was taken aback, “Are you short on cash? If you really need money urgently, I can lend you some.”
“It’s not that,” Xia Siyu shook her head, unable to speak of Bo Yan’s issue, and thought for a moment before answering, “This isn’t renting, it’s buying a house that I won’t change for a long time. Of course, I hope to buy the best possible one.”
Although she gave an explanation, it was clear Qin Baizhou wasn’t entirely convinced, insisting, “Then let me help you look.”
Xia Siyu brushed it off vaguely, and Qin Baizhou continued, “You mentioned ‘Youth 2’ the other time. The production said you can join the crew later, as long as it doesn’t delay the filming. Also, thanks to ‘Flowers and Grass’, you’ve gained quite a lot of fans, and some variety shows have approached you. Do you have any preference for which one to choose?”
