Chapter 44: Chapter     Family (2) Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios As long as she nodded her agreement, they could fully follow up on the subsequent itinerary. Qin Baizhou also advised her, “Even so, after you go on this variety show, you must keep your temper in check. Reality TV is both a tool for whitewashing and a mirror that reveals monsters. You know, nowadays, the audience loves to scrutinize with a magnifying glass, analyzing your micro-expressions frame by frame. Of course, it’s not that you can do whatever you want when acting. Although you take acting seriously, there’s Bo Yan, and there’s Shang Feifei…” When it came to Bo Yan, Xia Siyu’s eyes noticeably cooled, but she didn’t respond much. Seeing the atmosphere was a bit tense, Qin Baizhou lightened it by joking, “Why are you so interested in Sicily? Is it because of that movie ‘The Beautiful Legends of Sicily?” Xia Siyu did not confirm or deny but turned her head to look out at the rain curtain outside the window. Her back of the head facing him, it took a long time before she nodded and murmured, “Mhm.” In a corner unseen by anyone, Xia Siyu gently placed her hand over her chest. There, a small bulge was present, precisely where her peach heart necklace lay. As they talked, the car had already arrived at the base of Qingcheng Apartment. Qin Baizhou added, “I’m sorry, the apartment I chose for you before was not very good. We will definitely investigate thoroughly and find you a better place to move into as soon as possible.” Xia Siyu shook her head indifferently, “No need, my friend is abroad and won’t be back for a while. Leaving it empty is just a waste, so I might as well live there.’ When she said this, Wei Jingjing glanced at her but didn’t say anything. After all, Bo Yan had no designs on her, and she had no pursuit of Bo Yan. Each of them minded their own business, and Bo Yan would likely be even more averse to her getting close and would certainly go to greater lengths to maintain their reputations. Qin Baizhou hadn’t thought too much about it, mainly because he hadn’t expected her to have any relationship with Bo Yan. Moreover, in all of Yancheng, Qingcheng Apartment’s security was top-notch. For a house with such security grade, even if it were to be rented out, it would cost tens of thousands a month, and it had to meet this young lady’s taste in decor, which was indeed hard to find at the moment. He then agreed, “Okay then, get some good rest. When the notification of your schedule comes, I’ll have Jingjing come pick you up.” After Xia Siyu left, he had Little Tang drive off as well. Perhaps it was the heavy rain, or perhaps because the Maybach had stalled, he didn’t notice that just around the corner, a black Maybach had been parked by the roadside the whole time, quietly leaving only after Qin Baizhou’s car had departed. Over the next few days, the team began to liaise with the drama and variety show teams. After Qin Baizhou returned, he took the lead in sorting out Xia Siyu’s previous business engagements: she did live streams and made appearances for brands, and promoted her earlier movie. Indeed, she was kept very busy. With so much work to do, she didn’t have the time to pay attention to other things, especially not to Bo Yan’s recent schedule – they hadn’t seen each other since the day they parted at the audition area, and in the following days, he hadn’t come back at all. But even though Bo Yan wasn’t around, there was no shortage of news about him. For instance, after she had finally finished a busy day of work, and the next day she was due to join the set and film with Bo Yan, Xia Siyu went shopping with Zhou Weiwei before joining the production. While shopping, she did see Bo Yan, only it was on television. Xia Siyu had seen plenty of Bo Yan’s interviews and was not surprised.. But this time, the host mentioned Bo Yan’s family:
