Chapter 1266: Chapter 1257: The Decision (Part 5)
Bo Yan explained to her, "Don’t worry, the paparazzi have leverage, but they don’t need me to agree immediately. They also know that I will definitely come to discuss it with you. A celebrity’s love affair isn’t just between the two of us, it’s between two companies. And they have named their price, if it’s reasonable, it’s fine; but if they’re being greedy, the other party might not agree either. So it’s also a game of strategy. Anyway, they have the photos, so they’re not in a hurry. I can use this time to stall them. When we’re ready, we’ll refuse their terms and announce it ourselves before they leak the news."
He would never be coerced, especially when Xia Siyu was willing to go public.
You want to make money off me? I’d rather feed it to the dogs!
Even though he said that, they certainly didn’t give a lot of time to extend the deadline. So he also needed a bit of time to negotiate with the company and business partners.
"Okay." Xia Siyu nodded, without needing to say much, she’d already understood Bo Yan’s intentions.
Since everything was settled, the thing she started to feel bad about was Bo Yan leaving again. And losing business deals and endorsements, fans unfollowing—these aren’t pleasant feelings. She added, "If you ever need money, just tell me. I won’t let my man suffer."
Bo Yan almost burst out laughing, tapping her forehead lightly, "Suffer from what? You took a joke seriously back then. Don’t worry, even though my payments are a bit delayed, I’m not starving. The business people are just afraid of losses; those who should leave will leave, and those who shouldn’t will stay. Besides, it’s not like I can’t earn back what I’ve lost."
They completely settled their plans, and Bo Yan opened the door to find Qin Baizhou standing outside. The first thing Qin Baizhou noticed was Bo Yan and Xia Siyu’s clasped hands.
He felt a bit relieved in his heart, yet his gaze was tinged with bitterness. As expected, Bo Yan spoke first, "I’ve decided to go public with her. If your company needs any help, feel free to contact my assistant and manager anytime."
Qin Baizhou replied with a cold face, "Understood."
Bo Yan released Xia Siyu’s hand, knowing there were four hours until the flight time, but Xia Siyu urged him to hurry to the airport, "Don’t miss your flight, you should head there first."
It takes at least an hour to get from here to the airport, what if there’s a traffic jam?
"Okay." At such a significant moment, it’s really not appropriate for any lovey-dovey scenes here. He didn’t have much to pack; he only brought a bag with his documents and essentials.
Bo Yan called a car through the front desk, and the car arrived quickly. He turned back to look at his wife, "Don’t worry."
Xia Siyu replied with an "Mm."
Meanwhile, Qin Baizhou was still watching. When Bo Yan checked his watch and saw the car was almost there, he got up, "I’m leaving."
Xia Siyu got up to follow him, "I’ll see you off."
Bo Yan didn’t object, and Qin Baizhou didn’t intervene. So they went downstairs together. Anyway, the public announcement was only a few days away, so Bo Yan used the simplest "disguise" of a mask and hat, standing openly next to Xia Siyu.
Bo Yan got in the car first, then waved from outside, "Go back."
As soon as he said it, the door closed, but suddenly opened again as Xia Siyu squeezed in, "I’m coming with you to the airport."
