Chapter 981: Chapter 972: CP Sensation (2)

"After the Little New Year’s Eve gala, there will probably be several days of film promotional activities. Thankfully, it’s still during the pandemic, so we don’t have those early screening events like before. Otherwise, flying all over the place right now wouldn’t be very convenient."

Xia Siyu nodded again, "Got it. I understand."

Qin Baizhou kept his words brief and didn’t continue the conversation, "Then I won’t disturb your rest anymore. Goodnight."

After discussing work, Xia Siyu spaced out for a moment before starting to sift through her WeChat contacts to flirt with some handsome guys. The second "victim" to pop up next was Xia Youbiao—this time, it was actually a voice call.

Xia Siyu froze for a few seconds but ultimately answered. On the other end, Xia Youbiao immediately said, "Little New Year is just around the corner."

Xia Siyu hesitated briefly. This time, after getting injured on set, her dad visited her and even cared for her, which had indeed repaired their father-daughter relationship, albeit only a little. Her response this time wasn’t as sharp as before: "I have work on Little New Year’s Eve."

She paused for a moment before adding, "On Lunar New Year’s Eve, if nothing unexpected happens, I’ll probably stop by the Bo Family’s old residence. Don’t worry—I’m not going to argue with a pregnant woman. After that, my movie will be released, and I’ll have to go on a promotional tour for several days."

Right now, she was especially relieved that the few days after New Year’s would be spent on a promotional tour. If there wasn’t a promotional tour, and her dad decided to visit her, she would have to entertain him.

The problem was, even though their father-daughter relationship had softened somewhat, she was already completely unaccustomed to spending the New Year with her dad. From childhood to present day, her father had never spent a single Lunar New Year with her—not one.

He’d always fly to Sicily during Christmas and New Year’s, spending them with her and her mom, staying for a short while. After that, he’d fly back to China—work always got busier near the end of the year. He was the heir of the Xia Family, and for the Xia Family, it was tradition for everyone to gather on Lunar New Year’s Eve and perform ancestral rites on Lunar New Year’s Day. Beyond the company responsibilities, there were family matters he couldn’t shirk either.

Even though her grandparents were gone now, there were still a few elders in the extended family, and plenty of uncles and aunts who didn’t like her or her mother. She didn’t want to see them, either.

Although Xia Youbiao had been trying to mend their father-daughter relationship, she couldn’t bear to push him away. But she also wouldn’t lower herself or compromise her dignity to return to the Xia Family. So, at times like this, it was better not to meet.

Xia Youbiao hadn’t considered all this. He just wanted to say that he was one of the sponsors for the Little New Year event tomorrow and had been invited to attend. He could cheer her on in person. But Xia Siyu’s words had hit his sore spot, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I understand. Take care of yourself. When you’re on the show in a couple of days, try to do well. Your dad will support you."

Xia Siyu nodded and ended the call.

After chatting with Qin Baizhou and her dad, she originally intended to find a young hottie to chat with, but now she wasn’t in the mood anymore. Just as she set her phone aside, a video call popped up. Xia Siyu clicked it absentmindedly, thinking it was a voice call, only to have Wang Zisu’s big face instantly fill the screen: "Sister Siyu! I miss you so much! Do you miss me?"

Xia Siyu, still feeling a bit moody, immediately replied, "Nope."

She was just about to raise her hand to hang up the video call when Wang Zisu suddenly exclaimed, "Eh? Sister Siyu, are you at home? The guy behind you—isn’t that Bo..."
