Chapter 796: Chapter 787 Capital (3) Chapter 796: Chapter 787 Capital (3) Xia Siyu was still feeling annoyed, thinking that she had really “accidentally missed out on hundreds of millions.” Although she didn’t want to be controlled by anyone, who wouldn’t like having so much money placed in front of them?

Bo Yan even tried to console her, “I think you still have a chance to get it back, why don’t you make a call and take the deal back?”

Xia Siyu immediately fell silent. She hated the feeling of being controlled, she was used to being free and easygoing and couldn’t stand having to look at the company’s face before she said anything. Although the tasks in the drama seemed tolerable, she had a three-year bet with Shang Feifei, and by the age of thirty, she should at least have won a Best Actress award, right? Considering the time for filming movies, post-production, release, and later awards, she would have to strive for it this year or the next if she wanted to win before turning thirty.

Time was pressing, and she didn’t want to wallow in lousy films.

She liked money, but her goals were more important. She was betting on her mother’s reputation, and she couldn’t afford to lose.

It’s just that Qin Baizhou’s timing when he came to ask her was too bad. If it were a few years later, if she had successfully won the Best Actress crown, she would have accepted the condition.

But even though she had come to terms with it in her mind, it was still incredibly annoying to watch money float by without being able to grab it.

“Do you like money that much?” Bo Yan watched her oscillate between annoyance and struggle, yet remain very determined, and he particularly wanted to laugh.

Xia Siyu turned her head and counter-questioned, “Don’t you like it?”

Bo Yan nodded, “Of course I like it, a gentleman loves wealth, in an honorable way. For example, if you were asked to go back and fight for the Xia Family’s wealth, but the condition was that you would have to grovel, would you do it?”

“Dare they?!” Xia Siyu sat up straight in an instant. Bo Yan smiled mischievously, “See, that’s what I mean. However, if you really want the money, it’s not impossible. For instance, you can’t get the shares that the company offered you, but I can give you my villa in my name. You also visited that villa in the suburbs of Yancheng last time, right?”

“Hmph, that was mine to begin with. Yours is mine, and mine is still mine,” Xia Siyu hummed lightly. She knew that villa was bought by Bo Yan before their marriage, and there was a strict prenuptial agreement that it wasn’t considered her property. She wouldn’t covet that house, and although it still hurt a little, her mood indeed improved after Bo Yan consoled her.

Indeed, to give is to gain, freedom comes at a price.

“Okay, it’s yours, it always has been. I’m just returning it to its rightful owner,” Bo Yan said with a smile. At this moment, he had finished drying her hair for her. Her hair cascaded down like water from his fingertips, “So, can you rest now?”

Xia Siyu still proudly “hmphed,” “No, I still have to do my skincare routine.”

As a refined ‘piggy girl’, how could she just go to bed after a bath? Surely she needed to apply toner, then serum, then lotion, then eye serum, then eye cream–and before all that, put on a beautiful face mask.

No, that still wasn’t enough, once everything was ready, she had to moisturize her whole body, making her skin fragrant and smooth. Moreover, she was only wearing short shorts, exposing her long legs on the edge of the bed, right in front of Bo Yan as she applied the lotion. For the parts she couldn’t reach, she asked Bo Yan to help, “Quick, I can’t reach my back.”

After her back was done, she rolled into Bo Yan’s arms and coyly said, “Honey, I don’t feel like applying it to the front either, can you help me with that?”
