Chapter 1029: Chapter 1020: New Year (2)

Bo Yan nodded. "If you want to, anytime is fine."

Xia Siyu thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Forget it."

What she truly cherished wasn’t this little island, but the feeling of breathing freely and unhindered.

However, Xia Siyu was never one to hide and avoid coming forward. She would rather take the initiative, face the fight head-on, than cower in a corner, trembling.

The experiences of the past two days were simply a brief respite after work. She wasn’t one to hide behind others for protection, operating some secluded paradise far removed from the world. She was a warrior—if anyone wronged her, she would strike back immediately and charge forward for a frontal assault!

At that moment, the shuttle boat they had been waiting for arrived. Xia Siyu put on her sunglasses and mask, her demeanor instantly shifting from nostalgic to sharp and relentless. "Let’s go."

Her words were brief, her voice forceful—like a beast about to step into the arena, fully prepared for battle.

"The wind is strong and the waves are rough, be cautious and careful." Bo Yan quickly followed after her, grabbing her hand. Though his words were composed, the determination and confidence in his eyes matched hers.

Yesterday, they had already received news that this Bo Family reunion dinner would be especially lavish, and the Xia Family would also be present. After all, two direct grandsons of the Bo Family had married into the Xia Family. Now Xia Sicai was pregnant, and after gender testing confirmed it was a boy, he would be the first great-grandson of the fourth generation.

Of course, the Xia Family was only coming for lunch; dinner would still be spent at the Xia Family’s old mansion to celebrate New Year’s Eve. However, whatever the Xia Family planned had nothing to do with Xia Siyu; she would absolutely not return to the Xia Family home nor face those uncles, cousins, and brothers.

It was likely Tong would also attend this gathering, which explained why Xia Siyu had so quickly adopted a combative stance.

Xia Siyu paused for a moment and glanced back at Bo Yan. His eyebrows were relaxed, his expression calm, and his grip on her hand was warm and steadfast.

Since they had to return for lunch, they had booked an early flight—the plane would leave at eight. When they contacted the housekeeper to check out, it was only five in the morning.

Being closer to the equator, even though it was very early in winter, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The tension and ferocity she had felt softened quickly, and her demeanor became more composed.

Yes, wasn’t this just the dragon’s den and the tiger’s lair? We’ll face it together.

She nodded. "You’re right. I was just lamenting a lack of entertainment during the New Year. Watching a grand monkey drama will make the trip worthwhile."

Bo Yan smiled faintly. "Look, the sun is rising."

Xia Siyu followed his gaze forward, and sure enough, in the distant horizon, a small crimson object was slowly revealing itself. Shortly after, the sun leapt out from the edge of the sea, rising higher and shining brighter.

As for the darkness, the turbulent waves, and the past year with its ups and downs—they had already been left far behind, scattered and forgotten.

With the housekeeper’s assistance, checking out didn’t take much time.

They got in the car. The ride from the shore to the airport took an hour and a half. After completing check-in formalities, they boarded the plane for a three-and-a-half-hour flight, finally arriving at Yancheng Airport at eleven-thirty.

After disembarking, they kept an exceptionally low profile. This time, the person picking them up wasn’t Little Tang or Song Fengzhi, but the Bo Family’s housekeeper.

Once again, the two of them got into a car and headed towards the reunion dinner, which might carry an air of knives clashing and shadows lurking, an hour ahead.
