Chapter 1050: Farewell to the Old and Welcome to the New (2)
Once upon a time, he himself also wanted to give Xia Siyu and her daughter a good life, and to coordinate the family and them.
But he did not do any of them.
He could not guarantee that Bo Yan would not change his mind for life, nor could he guarantee that their marriage would always be stable. But he believed that Xia Siyu was stronger than them. Even if there was wind and rain outside, she could get through it smoothly.
Moreover, she was not alone now. There was someone who could experience the wind and rain with her.
That was enough.
When Bo Yan went up, the house was still lively. The TV was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala. Now it happened to be a skit. Two famous comedians sang, recited, sat and fought on it, making the people in the audience laugh.
But there was no laughter at home. Xia Siyu was not watching the show in front of the TV, nor was she eating in the restaurant. She was not lying on the sofa in the living room while resting and swiping her phone, and she was not washing dishes in the kitchen.
Bo Yan saw her standing in front of the French window, looking out the window quietly. When he came back, she did not rush over to greet him with a smile. Bo Yan changed his shoes and walked over, only to find that she had been staring at the road. It was New Year's Eve and it was still snowing. The originally busy road became very cold, with only one car quietly driving away.
That was Xia Youbiao's car.
Bo Yan knew that Xia Siyu said she hated her father, but in the Xia family, only Xia Youbiao could move her heart. The conflict between them could not be eliminated in a day or two. But at the same time, the family affection between them could not be completely abandoned casually.
Since there was no way to get closer for the time being, they could only choose the lesser evil, put aside the dispute, and continue to maintain a close and distant contact. Xia Siyu would sometimes be so impulsive that she might completely cut off the contact, so he could only be the peacemaker.
Bo Yan walked towards her and hugged her from behind. Xia Siyu still did not move, but gradually leaned her body weight on him.
The two stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside.
After a long time, Xia Siyu finally said, "He left."
Bo Yan said "hmm". In fact, she just stood in front of the window to watch his car leaving. Bo Yan went down to see him off and stayed for a long time, but Xia Siyu didn't ask what her father said to him.
She didn't ask, but Bo Yan said, "He told us to get along well and that he would always support us. He loves you very, very much."
Xia Siyu didn't react at all until Bo Yan added, "He also said that he was sorry that he couldn't give you complete love. He was also... sorry for your mother."
Sure enough, when her mother was mentioned, Xia Siyu tensed up instantly, and her fingers couldn't help but clenched into a ball and tightened again.
Bo Yan didn't say anything more, but just kept holding her. After a long, long time, Xia Siyu's body finally slowly relaxed. She let out a long breath and sneered, "What's the point of saying these now? The person is dead. I..."
She wanted to say something cruel, but she stopped talking here and couldn't continue. She could only hear her gradually chaotic breathing.
Bo Yan didn't say anything, but just kept holding her until her violently heaving chest gradually calmed down. He kissed her hair and hugged her tighter: "No matter what happens, I will stand by you."
