Chapter 545: Chapter 544 Disturbance (2)
And more often than not, men not only fail to shield women from the wind and rain, but they also bring storms into their lives.
“Yes, my wife is amazing,” Bo Yan said with a gentle smile, rubbing his head against her cheek, “So when the storm comes, I’ll stand beside you, and we’ll face it together.”
Bo Yan didn’t even realize that in his relationship with Xia Siyu, not only had she changed, but he had as well.
He once imagined his wife to be gentle and beautiful, a good homemaker, a warm haven after his struggles with work. After meeting Xia Siyu, the wife in his mind was passionate and cheerful, but still could be weak and in need of his protection.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was that although Xia Siyu was outwardly tough and inwardly soft, her “softness” was not weakness, but confidence and the tenderness that came with independence. Even if criticized by everyone, she wouldn’t change her true self or go with the flow. She also didn’t believe that women should just accept male protection as a matter of course; instead, she believed in moving forward with respect for gender differences, side by side, fighting together.
She didn’t need to depend on anyone, nor did she need to ask him for anything. They were completely equal individuals to each other, seemingly too independent to rely on one another, but their emotional foundation grew all the stronger because of that.
He also gradually changed the person he used to be, willing to help her, support her, and in doing so, fulfill himself.
Xia Siyu muttered in a low voice, “I told you not to keep calling me ‘wife.’
Although it sounded like rejection, there wasn’t a hint of disgust in her tone; it actually sounded more like coquetry.
Bo Yan responded with a kiss to her cheek, “Go to sleep, we need to get up early tomorrow.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xia Siyu fell asleep instantly. Recently, her biological clock had become much more regular, and if not for waiting to see Director Sun and his team off, she probably would have fallen asleep much earlier.
Bo Yan looked at the sleeping person and couldn’t help but chuckle. He wasn’t sure if he should say she was carefree or simply single-minded.
It seemed that once she understood something, no matter how big the problem, for her, it was just a wave that would soon return to calm.
He gently brushed his chin against her cheek, but after all, he liked her clear-mindedness, her determination, and her never-give-up attitude.
Although it was a pity that Director Sun and his team arrived too quickly, the half-month Bo Yan and Xia Siyu spent together saw their relationship advance by leaps and bounds. First, they were registered with Qin Baizhou, and both teams were informed; it was like an internal public announcement. But this was just on the outside; what pleased him most was that Xia Siyu’s attitude toward him had softened, no longer as cold as in the beginning.
He sincerely hoped they would have the day when they could let go of all grudges and march forward hand in hand.
Yet he always had a feeling that when Xia Siyu left him that year, in addition to the reasons she had revealed, something else must have happened. Moreover, three years later, she agreed so readily to marry him. Besides his career hitting a low, there must be another reason.
That reason must be related to her mother and the Xia Family. But unless she confessed on her own, he would never be able to help her unravel her inner knots, nor truly accompany her soul.
Everything still needed time and more efforts.
But he believed that day wouldn’t be too far off.

However, the plans for the next day didn’t keep up with the changes.
What Bo Yan thought was that although Xia Siyu would be working during the day these two days, there should still be a chance for them to spend time together in the evening.
