The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 485: Chapter 484 Family (2)
 

Seven years ago, again!

Are men nowadays trending towards liking someone and not confessing? It seems research has indeed proven this, that men no longer pursue women, or they give up after a brief attempt.

However, Qin Baizhou was dazzled by her appearance.

And Bo Yan, that guy was more direct—he lusted after her body.

Thinking about it this way, Bo Yan was even more—despicable!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“At first, maybe I was moved by lust, you are really beautiful, and few men can resist. But I knew back then I was just a small-time Star Scout, with no money and no influence, while you were destined to shine in the entertainment industry, achieving great fame. I didn’t have the qualifications or the power to pursue you. Later, I became your agent and spent more time interacting with you. Even after we switched companies, we always stuck together.”

Qin Baizhou feared she might think he was moved by lust, so he hurriedly explained, “In our gradual work and life together, I got to know you better. Even though you have an impulsive and short-tempered personality, always making news for various reasons, bringing repetitive issues to our work. But what others don’t understand, I clearly do—you are not as the reports say. For example, your scandals, over the many years we’ve worked together, some were orchestrated for movie promotions, others pure fabrications. You’ve never been as the rumors say, entangled in scandals, clinging to the rich, picking on the weak, acting like a diva. Maybe at first, I was captivated by your appearance, but it’s no longer the case. I am certain, the person I like is you.”

He said this, then lifted his head, very earnestly and naturally stating, “But I’ve always been afraid to say it, at first because I had no right, no courage to pursue you. Later… even when I became a partner, even as the company improved day by day, I still didn’t dare to speak up. I am not a coward, nor am I afraid of rejection or anything else. I just fear, if I were to confess, we might not even be able to remain friends.”

Indeed, because they were so familiar, he was even more hesitant to make a move. Over the years, they had grown accustomed to the relationship between agent and artist. Although Xia Siyu occasionally felt Qin Baizhou getting slightly closer, seeing as they had been peacefully coexisting for so long, she let her guard down.

But now he had confessed, he had spoken out. Although it was just a thin layer of paper, once pierced, it’s pierced, and some relationships can’t easily return to square one, pretending nothing ever happened.

Even Xia Siyu, who was usually thick-skinned, felt the situation was somewhat awkward. She didn’t have many friends around her, and Qin Baizhou was one. She truly did not want to lose him as a friend.

But now that Qin Baizhou had suddenly confessed to her, and so sincerely, she did not harbor romantic feelings for him.

It was exactly because his confession was so genuine that she found it even harder to casually reject him.

Even if he had said he was moved by lust, she probably wouldn’t feel this awkward.

The debt of love has always been the hardest to repay.

She, who was usually so carefree, really wasn’t used to such a tangled scene.

She waited a while before finally managing to speak with some difficulty, “If that’s the case, why did you… choose to say it now?”

Was it because she was about to change agencies and he feared she might choose another agency, or was he worried about her relationship with Bo Yan?
