Chapter 852: Chapter 843: Mysterious Guest (5)
Qin Baizhou looked deeply at her: “Do we only have work matters to talk about now?”
Xia Siyu was taken aback, “Didn’t you say it was about the contract?”
“The contract is also important, and the company hopes that I can take it away tomorrow morning. But the main reason I stayed is to ask about your personal matters,” Qin Baizhou said. “I know you mind my confession; you feel that our relationship has changed. Because I like you, I pursued you, and you’ve beco distant from .”
He laughed bitterly: “If I had known that confessing to you would end up like this, I would rather keep the fact that I like you to myself forever.”
That’s normal, right? Although they were still friends now, it’s completely different from the kind of feeling when one knows about the other’s interest. Moreover, she now has Bo Yan, and it’s even less likely for her to accept Qin Baizhou’s pursuit. If she continued to maintain the sa relationship with him, wouldn’t that be leading him on and playing with his feelings?
“I’m with Bo Yan,” since it had co to this, she didn’t want to be ambiguous, “I really like him. I don’t want to leave him, so I can’t accept your kind intentions.”
With every word she said, Qin Baizhou’s heart ached a bit more.
But he still had to say: “I didn’t seek a response from you; all I want is for us to continue being friends like before. Is that also not possible?”
Having male friends wasn’t unheard of, like her friendships with Han Yifan and Wang Zisu, even if they hung out together very closely, there was no chance of feelings developing. But once feelings were involved, how could one continue to pretend they didn’t see it? That was also unfair to him.
Xia Siyu, normally a chatterbox, was rarely silent, which made Qin Baizhou feel a lump in his throat. It took him quite a while before he finally spoke: “Is it because… Bo Yan asked you to?”
Xia Siyu looked up at him, her brow furrowed slightly. Then she shook her head: “No.”
Actually, Bo Yan was indeed very annoyed by her closeness with Qin Baizhou. He even “accidentally” threw the mobile phone Qin Baizhou gave her into the hot pot to destroy it, then replaced it with a new one for her. But he never badmouthed Qin Baizhou, nor did he ever encourage her to leave Huixing and choose a different agency.
It took her a long ti before she spoke: “In my heart, you will always be that Qin Ge.”
The one who brought her into the entertainnt industry, who defended and protected her within the company, the person who always tirelessly worked on public relations to protect her whenever she caused trouble. Her colleague, and her friend, but just a friend.
Qin Baizhou was clever; he imdiately understood the aning behind her words. He wasn’t easily resigned to his fate; was it because Bo Yan had a good background and was good-looking that he, despite all his efforts, had finally achieved a position of power that Bo Yan was born into, only to be easily defeated by him?
They had gone full circle, returning to the starting point. Xia Siyu stood up and glanced at the contract: “After I sign it tomorrow, I’ll have Wei Jingjing send it to you. In terms of work, I have 100 percent trust in you.”
She had already sent him away; what more could he say? Although he was now a partner, soon to be a major shareholder, at this mont, Xia Siyu had a position of complete independence. He was still the person watching her, helpless to do anything.
He had no choice but to stand up: “Alright, then you rest. I’ll leave now.”
Qin Baizhou walked to the door, just as he opened it, he thought of sothing else and threw out one last remark: “If… Bo Yan lets you down, I’ll always be here for you.”
Before the words were finished, a voice from outside said leisurely: “Don’t trouble yourself.”
