The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 577: Chapter 576 Distant and Close (2)
 

“What I eat is my business, how is it any of your concern? I’m not without restraint, so what if I indulge myself just this once?” came the roar from a food lover. After saying that, Xia Siyu just stomped into the room with her shoes on, slamming the door of the inner suite at the hotel.

With a “bang,” the sound was like a warning to him, as well as a silent rejection of something.

Outside, Wei Jingjing and Little Tang didn’t dare to move, let alone speak. They couldn’t bring themselves to leave either, waiting until a long time had passed, so long that Qin Baizhou’s anger had subsided and he became aware of his own faults, wanting to make amends, but he didn’t dare to knock on the door.

He said, “You guys go ahead and leave first.”

Wei Jingjing and Little Tang, as if pardoned, quickly scuttled away. Only after they left did Qin Baizhou approach the door, wanting to knock on the inner room.

He knew he had been a bit impatient lately. Xia Siyu’s feelings for Bo Yan had grown deeper, especially since both families were pushing for a match, and they had become intimate. In order to please her, Bo Yan continued to cater to her preferences.

Qin Baizhou believed he was acting in Xia Siyu’s long-term interests, and thus had to impose some restrictions on her. But Bo Yan, he was only after her body, and would prefer to deceive her into leaving the industry and marrying him. Truthful advice is unpleasant to the ear, but even though he was acting in her best interest, she wouldn’t appreciate it, and seemed to lean more and more towards Bo Yan, which caused him more pain.

He thought about it, didn’t knock, but just stood at the door and said, “I’m sorry, I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, and I took it out on you. My apologies.”

Xia Siyu indeed had the kind of personality to ignore people once she got angry. Qin Baizhou said many things outside the door, but there was no response from inside.

Qin Baizhou thought for a while, and added another sentence, “I did it for your own good, but I won’t do it again in the future.”

“I did it for your own good”—the phrase felt like the standard line from Chinese parents to their child. Although Xia Siyu knew that Qin Baizhou advising her not to eat at street stalls and to maintain her figure was indeed for her best interest.

But she was already in her twenties, not without self-control. What’s wrong with indulging just once in a while? Yet he kept reminding her, which was really disappointing.

Furthermore, upon knowing that he had feelings for her, she reevaluated the ways he was managing her and felt a vague sense of rejection. Even without those, she always felt that Qin Baizhou was not a good match for her.

For instance, their views—Qin Baizhou strived to distance himself from his former impoverished self and also sought to separate from the impoverished class. Whereas Xia Siyu did not see rich or poor, but only what was suitable or unsuitable.

Yet, they still had to continue their collaboration, and with seven years of friendship, she was mature enough to control her emotions. She wouldn’t continue to be angry with him, she simply didn’t want to deal with him for the time being.

Qin Baizhou probably knew this as well as he lowered his head, “Then you rest well. You worked hard today, good night.”

The door didn’t budge, Xia Siyu still gave no response.@@novelbin@@

Right after Qin Baizhou left, almost as if by coincidence, Bo Yan’s phone call came through. Xia Siyu hesitated for a moment, then answered. She was very tired today, and actually didn’t want to talk about her train experience with Bo Yan, nor did she want to discuss her conflict with Qin Baizhou.

If Bo Yan had directly asked her, she wouldn’t have answered, and would have even hung up the phone in annoyance.

But Bo Yan did not ask about these matters. Instead, he talked about his own experiences assisting Sun Wujiu with directing and camera work, and shared some interesting stories about being a director.
