Chapter 958: Chapter 949: In the Name of the Father (3)

People who are entangled in emotions usually feel awkward around each other.

For instance, when he and Wen Qunxiao were dating and got married, her ex-boyfriend was spreading her “scandalous photos” far and wide, causing a huge commotion. Even though he was a soft-hearted person, he couldn’t help but want to drag that guy out and beat him up.

Of course, he never actually got into a fight, but during that tumultuous time, he had to protect his girlfriend and deal with family dissatisfaction. Eventually, he couldn’t withstand his parents’ disapproval and ended up going abroad with his wife to register their marriage. Years later, he did take action against that man, luring him into gambling and incurring a huge debt. Naturally, the man couldn’t repay the money, and Xia Youbiao didn’t need him to; he simply cut off his right hand as repayment.

Of course, Bo Yan and Qin Baizhou currently don’t have such intense conflicts between them, but there can’t be any harmony between love rivals. He could tell at a glance that Qin Baizhou had feelings for Xia Siyu. His daughter might be naive or just thick-skinned, anyway, she didn’t take it seriously, but Bo Yan was different.

Look at them now as they meet. Bo Yan was the first to greet: “Mr. Qin.”

His voice was cold and calm.

Although Qin Baizhou had a smile on his face, there was a kind of sardonic tone like that of a “smiling tiger,” as he said, “Teacher Bo. If you plan on visiting the hospital, be careful. You wouldn’t want your affairs to be exposed, right? As far as I know, the paparazzi have caught wind and are preparing to stake you out.”

Bo Yan’s face remained composed: “Thanks for the warning, I’ll be careful.”

There was no anger, no fluctuation, not even a hint of hostility, as if he was unaware of Qin Baizhou’s feelings for his daughter.

Qin Baizhou didn’t stay long either, standing up to say, “I came here because I was worried something had happened to you. Now that you’re in better health and Xia Uncle is here to take care of you, I’ll be going back. There’s a pile of work waiting at the company. I’ll leave the bodyguards here, as there might be paparazzi lurking nearby lately—take care when you’re out. I’m off.”

Xia Siyu nodded, and Qin Baizhou then turned to Xia Youbiao, naturally handing over his business card: “Uncle Xia, get in touch if you need anything. Here’s my card.”

“Alright.” Although Xia Youbiao could see that the agent was interested in his daughter, as long as it was benign, he didn’t want to interfere much, perhaps just a gentle reminder at most. Besides, he actually wanted to know about his daughter’s work life and accepted Qin Baizhou’s “kindness.”

Qin Baizhou draped his jacket over his arm, and before leaving, he said farewell to Xia Siyu: “Siyu, take good care of yourself.”

Xia Siyu responded with an “Oh,” without any pleasantries or even a proper goodbye. She turned her head and poked a piece of apple with a toothpick for Bo Yan: “This apple is particularly sweet, try it.”

Bo Yan actually tried a bite following her hand and instantly frowned due to the sourness.

Xia Siyu giggled: “Serves you right, making me eat such a sour apple, sour to death.”

Whether Qin Baizhou felt sour or not, Bo Yan almost felt like he was the one being “soured to death.” Before the door closed, he heard Bo Yan say, “Daddy, just now…”

He didn’t hear the rest, but the use of “Daddy” left a particularly unpleasant feeling in his heart. Qin Baizhou stood by the door, taking a while to adjust his breathing before walking away. He then called on his bodyguards and instructed them to protect Xia Siyu’s safety round the clock, especially from snappers.

However, Xia Siyu had been hospitalized for nearly a day now, and there had been no signs of trouble, presumably the paparazzi had quieted down.

What he didn’t expect was…
