Chapter 1035: Chapter 1026: Reunion Banquet (2)

With Xia Sicai’s single sentence, the attention of Bo Qiliu and Bo Yi, the father-son duo opposite her, was immediately drawn back. Bo Yi hurriedly turned to ask her, "Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"

Although Xia Sicai had never learned acting, her remark was perfectly crafted. She smiled and shook her head, "It’s nothing. Perhaps the baby also wants to join our family dinner, sharing in our joy."

Across the table, Xia Siyu rolled her eyes. It’s just fetal movement, right? Judging by Xia Sicai’s current demeanor, it could very well be a bluff.

Before Xia Siyu could respond, Xia Sicai directly addressed her, "Siyu, you and Bo Yan have been married for three years, haven’t you? When are you planning to have kids?"

Xia Sicai didn’t truly believe that Xia Siyu and Bo Yan’s relationship was as harmonious as it seemed. Maybe their marriage was merely a facade, or perhaps they joined forces to resist external pressures. But having children was a different matter. Xia Siyu was not one to compromise or make calculated sacrifices. She had once said, if her partner lacked the ability to protect their family, she’d rather remain childless for life.

And indeed, Xia Sicai’s sharp jab hit Xia Siyu right where it hurt. Not long ago, during a call with her father, she had stated fiercely that if she couldn’t achieve success and recognition, she wouldn’t even entertain the thought of having children in this lifetime.

Her own experience had proven that love alone wasn’t enough to sustain a family. A formidable strength to weather life’s storms was also essential. For her, it meant she needed to achieve personal success—build her career before settling down. As for Bo Yan, despite their growing closeness, they still didn’t dare to make their relationship public, let alone consider having children.

From a career perspective, an entertainer’s youth is precious. To have children during golden growth years essentially means sacrificing an entire year of development. And even after childbirth, her place in the entertainment industry might be lost. She wasn’t willing to take that risk.

Xia Siyu wasn’t adept at lying—she always spoke her mind without filtering. If it had been Shang Feifei in her shoes, she might have responded tactfully. But Xia Siyu couldn’t; instead, she froze.

At this moment, it was Bo Yan who calmly spoke up, "First, thank you, Sister-in-law, for your concern."

With one sentence, Bo Yan firmly established the boundaries surrounding Xia Sicai, preventing any domestic or external gossip. Xia Siyu tilted her head to glance at him, while Bo Yan also looked back at her, a slight smile on his face. "For now, Siyu and I are both at a pivotal stage in our careers. As everyone saw earlier, we’re so busy we don’t even have time to properly sit down and enjoy a meal during the holidays. Siyu and I have had earnest discussions. We’re still young, and right now is the perfect time to focus on our ambitions. With the limited time available to entertainers, our current priority is work. Once things stabilize, we will consider future decisions. Anyway, Siyu and I have undergone health checkups. We’re both in good health, with no bad habits. Our marriage and our careers don’t rely on having a child to sustain them. I also very much appreciate seeing Siyu’s dedication to her work."

His words had Xia Youbiao nodding in approval. Xia Siyu’s eyes sparkled. The hint of anger she held just moments ago had completely dissipated. When she looked at Bo Yan now, her gaze was filled with adoration.

Bo Yan smiled as he gently smoothed her hair. "Besides, both Siyu and I are so busy with work. It’s already rare for us to have time to be together. For those moments when we are together, I’d rather spend them fully enjoying our time as a couple. Bringing in a little one, honestly, I feel like our lives would become a bit cramped."

Just seconds ago, he had been offering rational analysis, but now he was openly showering her with sweet affection!
