Chapter 488: Chapter 487 Family (5)
“It’s normal for you not to accept me, and I didn’t come here to threaten you or anything. I just genuinely like you, want to make your life better, and help you in your career so you can reach greater heights and go further. You don’t need to feel burdened. Even if you never feel the same way about me, I just hope I can always be by your side.”
Qin Baizhou had made himself so humble that Xia Siyu found it hard to argue.
Seeing the difficulty in her expression, Qin Baizhou added another sentence, “Besides, we have a relationship of agent and artist. If you do well, it makes things much easier for me. You are the cash cow of our company, after all. Taking good care of you means protecting the interests of our company. As a partner, it’s also necessary for me to help your career reach a new peak from this perspective.”
One moment he lowered himself, saying his affection was his own business, using this tactic to entrap someone like Xia Siyu, who valued loyalty and righteousness.
On the other hand, he persuaded her with the prospect of her career. After all, she had a very pleasant cooperation with Qin Baizhou for the past seven years, and she had no reason to leave.
Indeed, speaking from these two perspectives made Xia Siyu truly hesitate, and she nodded in agreement.
Qin Baizhou backed off to advance further and stood up with a faint smile, “It’s getting late, you should rest well.”
Xia Siyu was still a bit dazed, and she nodded, “Okay. You too.”
Hearing this from her, Qin Baizhou felt greatly relieved. He was worried that after his confession, Xia Siyu would fall out with him and never want to get close to him again.
But now, with her words of concern, she wouldn’t choose to leave him immediately.
When the door opened, outside waiting was Bo Yan. He had estimated that Qin Baizhou and Xia Siyu must have laid their cards on the table by now. Even if Qin Baizhou hadn’t expressed his feelings, Xia Siyu would have told him about their relationship.
Then, he had nothing to hide. He was set on declaring his sovereignty directly in front of his rival!
But he was actually a bit anxious.
Although Xia Siyu was married to him and they had physical intimacy, she hadn’t fallen in love with him.
This person, once her heart was moved, she would overcome all odds and would definitely be with the one she loved.
But he couldn’t burst in, nor could he interrupt the conversation between Xia Siyu and Qin Baizhou, nor make decisions for her.
This was the most passive he had been since his birth, aside from being dumped by Xia Siyu.
The fate of him and Xia Siyu was entirely in her hands. If she accepted Qin Baizhou’s confession, she would leave him.
If she didn’t accept, then he still had a chance.
Even though the possibility of Xia Siyu accepting Qin Baizhou on the spot was extremely small, maybe even less than one in ten, it was still not 100% under his control, which made him uneasy.
But when the door opened, and seeing Qin Baizhou’s smile fade instantly upon seeing him, he instead smiled.
Bo Yan knew that he had won the bet.
If he had recklessly barged in earlier, disturbing Qin Baizhou and Xia Siyu’s conversation, he himself would have been in a passive position. Maybe Xia Siyu’s aversion to him would have peaked and she might have really agreed to Qin Baizhou.
But now, Qin Baizhou no longer had a chance.
And he would pursue this victory, and pull Xia Siyu back both body and heart, back to his side!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Mr. Qin, goodnight.”
The triumphant Bo Yan was quite gracious, even offering Qin Baizhou a polite smile.
