The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 1871: Chapter 1858: Bidding Farewell to the Old (Part 5)

Bo Yan also smiled, "She’s not wrong."

Although initially becoming an actor wasn’t his original intention, and he did start with the motive of chasing after his wife. But looking at it now, he’s been in the industry for several years, not to say tremendously successful, but indeed has achieved quite a bit.

The most important thing is, he doesn’t reject acting, he might even say he somewhat enjoys it. Although he doesn’t possess Xia Siyu’s intense desire for expression, he quite likes the feeling of experiencing countless faces. Some lifestyles he couldn’t live himself, but he can experience through the character, feeling that person’s breath.

Especially since he’s now diving into the direction of directing. In the future, if given the chance, he still wants to write, direct, and act in stories he loves.

As for going into business, it’s not out of the question, but it won’t be his main career, at most it’ll be a hobby.

The world has countless rich people, but in the history of acting, those who are remembered and talked about by future generations are few. Perhaps, there’s a chance for him to become one of them.

"Alright." Xia Youbiao nodded. Since that was his thought, he wouldn’t object. But he thought of something, "If this time we’re successful... what will become of Bosch in the future?"

Neither he nor Bo Yan wished for Bosch to perish. But if their operations aren’t careful, taking advantage of unstable conditions, Bosch could very well collapse entirely.

Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered to listen to this, so she lay down, using his leg as a pillow, picked up a book, and covered her face for a nap.

Bo Yan said, "An old saying goes, a centipede dies but never stiff. Such a large company, attacking from outside won’t kill it overnight. It has to be dismantled step by step from within to die cleanly. Bosch’s issues didn’t just appear, nor were they only present after Grandpa handed over power to Uncle three years ago. In fact, the seeds of many problems were sown ten-plus years ago. It’s just their recent years of crazy sales spread too fast, bringing these issues to focus earlier. Not toppling Bosch in one strike is the last thing I can do, but I can only do that much. Other matters aren’t related to me."

Even if Bosch were handed to him now, it wouldn’t be of any use. Even though he’s talented, lacking much understanding in company operations, he couldn’t manage such a large company.

If asked, he would suggest the company hire a professional manager.

Xia Youbiao nodded, beside him Xia Siyu had long since slept out of boredom. Only then did he quietly inquire about the two of them, "Have you guys... considered future matters? When to have kids?"

In previous years, his biggest worry was Xia Siyu and Bo Yan not being on good terms. Now that their relationship has eased, and their ages are about right, indeed future matters could be considered.

Bo Yan smiled, "Let’s see what she wants."

Indeed, at the beginning, he eagerly wanted to get closer to Xia Siyu and quickly have children. But Xia Siyu firmly refused several times, so he compromised. Up to now, even though Xia Siyu has softened her stance, he knows Xia Siyu hasn’t made a definitive decision. Without a firm decision, then let it be, after all their life isn’t bad.

Xia Youbiao misunderstood, "Are you planning—Double Income, No Kids? Yes, among young people, Double Income, No Kids is quite common. Young folks prefer convenience, and a couple’s world indeed feels more comfortable than a family of three. But, as one gets older, if ideas change, it might be too late."

He’s not entirely opposed to Double Income, No Kids, he just hopes Xia Siyu thinks clearly. After all, if one regrets when older, men have more chances to change course, but for women, missing the chance means it’s lost.

Bo Yan smiled and said, "Don’t worry. As for her, she won’t be unhappy if others aren’t happy, she’ll definitely find joy for herself."

The best part about Xia Siyu, which might also be seen as her worst trait, is her broad heart.

As long as she sets her mind on something, she will unwaveringly prepare to do it. Career is like that, love is too. Regardless of the external criticisms, however many doubts, she simply won’t care. Having known her so many years, besides the time during their breakup when he couldn’t accompany her, the only time he saw her most confused was when she was rejected for various bizarre reasons by the Gold Oscar and Golden Phoenix. But she only felt dazed for a moment, without losing any fighting spirit, rather it sparked a greater determination in her.

Now she has changed her tune, saying there might be plans for having kids in the future, but until the plan is executed, it remains only a plan, it could also change. It’s possible there will never be kids, and when old, she truly might regret it.

But what if she does regret it? In life, if you’ve never experienced regret, can you really call it life? Besides, Xia Siyu’s nature is such that even if she regrets, she’ll laugh it off and redirect her efforts towards something she enjoys more. Melancholy, solitary strength, these tags don’t belong to her at all.

Seeing that they had come to a conclusion, Xia Youbiao didn’t say more. Actually, he wasn’t insisting they have kids to "carry on the line," the happiness of the child is most important. Certainly having kids might bring more joy and concern, but the struggles of raising them are evident too.

He wasn’t ever a qualified father. Regarding Xia Ju’an and Xia Sicai, he and their mother divorced when they were young. Though post-divorce their relations weren’t too strained, kids are sensitive. Xia Sicai disliked Xia Siyu from a young age, somewhat tied to the instability due to parental separation. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

As for Xia Siyu, even though he indeed favored this younger daughter more, having not been by her side growing up, later when she returned to China with her mother, his wavering between the small family and Xia Family inflicted deep hurt upon her.

Regarding Xia Sicai, seemingly in a perfect marriage with Bo Yi, even the grandson was born. Actually, within a few years, it fell apart.

To be honest, he hasn’t done well as a father himself, why should he demand his daughter and son-in-law be great mom and dad?

After all, at their age, whatever they feel like doing, let them do.

"If you encounter any problems later, feel free to come to me." Although today’s visit was for business cooperation, business done, personal matters could be discussed.

Bo Yan didn’t hold back, "Alright, if something comes up, we’ll let you know immediately."

Having reached this point, Xia Youbiao prepared to leave, as Bo Yan readied to see him off, he glanced at Xia Siyu who was comfortably sleeping on Bo Yan’s lap, quickly saying, "No need. I’ll see myself out."
