Chapter 484: Chapter 483 Family (1)
Within a single day, she was confessed to twice.
In the early hours of the morning, after they finished, Bo Yan said to her, “I love you.”
At night, Qin Baizhou traveled a great distance to tell her, “I like you.”
It was a complete cycle, truly perfect.
Only Xia Siyu was a bit dumbfounded.
Lately, she had been feeling something vaguely, always sensing Qin Baizhou getting closer to her. He tried to make time for her even for business and variety shows that didn’t require his presence. But Qin Baizhou explained it was because they needed to renew the contract, and he feared she might leave since she was the most profitable artist in the company; they had to keep a close eye on her.
They were very good friends and partners, trusting and relying on each other.
But she had never considered that Qin Baizhou might like her.
After all, she had known Qin Baizhou for seven years. Over those years, he had helped her deal with numerous scandals, and she had seen female subordinates and artists pursue him, yet Qin Baizhou never showed any interest.
Whenever she got into trouble, Qin Baizhou would always help her sort it out with a kind of helplessness, cleaning up after her. When it came to contracts and business dealings, he would patiently help her make carefully considered choices, always operating in a reasonable, older-brotherly, and considerate manner.
Having known him for so many years, Qin Baizhou had never overstepped his bounds. Not with her, not with anyone. At one point, the company even speculated whether he preferred men since preferences in the entertainment industry could vary widely.
Indeed, there were fearless young men who tested this, but of course, they were politely rejected.
It seemed that love didn’t have a place in his life, only work did.
But that wasn’t the point. The point was, why would he like her? Was it a spur-of-the-moment thing, or was he afraid she would leave for another company upon contract renewal?
Furthermore,
She was also a bit worried, she and Qin Baizhou were friends. Once these words were said, whether she responded or not, their friendship would never be the same.
Although Xia Siyu usually appeared carefree and bold, that was only with people she was not close to or didn’t like. She was extremely protective and cherished her identified friends and family.
It took Xia Siyu quite a while to recover. After all, Qin Baizhou had been her friend for seven years, and their collaboration had always been pleasant. She didn’t want to fall out with him, “Actually, there’s no need for this. I haven’t considered going to another company.”
Indeed, other companies had tried to poach her, but she was not a greedy person. Although Qin Baizhou’s side didn’t offer strong drama contracts, his public relations skills were excellent. Their collaboration was quite enjoyable and the treatment she received was good, so she wouldn’t easily switch companies.
Qin Baizhou caught on to Xia Siyu’s meaning, thinking he was trying to “sacrifice himself” to keep her at the company!
How could this woman’s way of thinking be so unique? Her first reaction to being confessed to was this?
Qin Baizhou stood up, and since the words were already out, there was no taking them back. Better to explain everything clearly. He mustered his courage to confess, not to push her away, but to win her over, “I like you, not because of my role as a partner at Huixing, but for myself. Siyu, I really like you a lot.”
His gaze was so intense, it wasn’t easy for Xia Siyu to ignore. It took her a long time to ask, “Since when?”
Qin Baizhou said firmly, “Seven years ago. To be precise, the first time I met you on the street, when I saw your smile, I was already smitten.”
