Chapter 276: 276 Dinner (2)



Because they were attending a high-end brand dinner, the makeup had to match the attire. The evening’s clothing would naturally be provided by the brand, so she wore a simple T-shirt and denim skirt, with her long, straight black hair hanging loose as she followed them to the event.

Along the way, Qin Baizhou was chatting with her in a soft voice, “I just looked, and the owners of buildings one and two from the Du Shu Yi Zhi project we saw yesterday have both listed their properties for sale. In particular, the owner of building one mentioned that they are open for house viewing appointments recently. I wonder if you’re interested?”

“Sure,” Xia Siyu replied very briskly. Now that she knew Bo Yan had his sights set on her, and she didn’t want to comply obediently, her plan was to stay as far away as possible. For now, the biggest reassurance was that Bo Yan would still arrogantly uphold his gentlemanly demeanor and not force her into anything.

Of course, if he were to force her, she would kick him where it hurt, hard!

Seeing her reply so smoothly, Qin Baizhou breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Bo Yan was pursuing her. Over these seven years, he had always been by Xia Siyu’s side and was very clear about her actual state.

All those rumors about Xia Siyu were handled by him, whether they were fabricated or forcibly attached to her, all were false. Her nature was simple and she was noble-hearted; what’s rare is that in the dye vat that is the entertainment industry, her purity was astonishing. Those hidden rules, funding to join cast, and sleeping one’s way to the top did not exist with her. Although she appeared simple and a bit foolish, she was very reliable when dealing with proper matters.

It was all too normal for him to admire her, and on top of that, she was so beautiful.

If he were to compare himself with other men, he felt he had advantages. Although he came from a modest background, he was now a partner at Huixing, worth several billion. He had fought for it with his own strength, punch by punch, kick by kick. He had numerous resources at his disposal, with many platforms having long-term business cooperations with their company, and last year’s financial report was indeed impressive. Moreover, he wasn’t bad-looking, and he had the height as well. By any standard, he was a promising prospect, one of the most sought-after types on the marriage market.

But he had just happened to run into Bo Yan.

Regardless of knowledge or background, there was one aspect where he simply couldn’t compete with Bo Yan: looks.

His appearance, just like Xia Siyu’s beauty, was something given by their parents, natural-born. Add to that the Bo Family, and it seemed no amount of effort in several lifetimes would suffice.

For someone like him, despite immense effort, just managing to have an almost comparable say in business affairs with Bo Yan was already a challenge—and it was only just enough to reach the tips of his toes.

Sometimes life is just that unfair.

However, the one advantage he did have was that Xia Siyu currently trusted him. His relationship with her was much better than with Bo Yan.

Although he didn’t know exactly what kind of past Xia Siyu and Bo Yan had, his intuition told him that these two definitely had a history. But in the seven years that he had known Xia Siyu, she and Bo Yan were like fire and water—incompatible—and her aversion to Bo Yan was genuine.

Love is not a competition of family background, and he might not lose.

As he was thinking, a strand of Xia Siyu’s hair floated over. Something stirred in his heart, and he found himself wanting to touch her.
