Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Contest (3)
During the elevator’s ascent, Bo Yan didn’t speak or turn around, but the elevator doors were metallic, allowing a vague view of the situation behind him.
Qin Baizhou still whispered, “Keep an eye on her in the future, and don’t let her drink too much. You know how she handles her liquor.”
Wei Jingjing’s gaze swiftly swept over Bo Yan, aware that Qin Baizhou had deliberately spoken loud enough for Bo Yan to hear.
It was obvious that Bo Yan and Qin Baizhou, the two males, were tussling over Xia Siyu’s mating rights. As a humble individual, she couldn’t afford to offend either, one being her direct supervisor and the other a powerful and influential actor.
She could only nod, “Okay, I will remind her to be careful.”
The elevator soon reached its destination. Bo Yan stepped out first, followed by Qin Baizhou and Wei Jingjing supporting Xia Siyu. Bo Yan went ahead, changed his shoes, whereas Qin Baizhou and Wei Jingjing, having taken off their own shoes, didn’t have time to let Xia Siyu change. They supported her, and she staggered back to her bedroom in her high heels.
This time, Qin Baizhou noticed that her bedroom was still a mess. The clothes she had taken off the day before were carelessly thrown at the head of the bed. The quilt was not folded, and the bedding, like quilts and pillows, was only set up for her. He helped Xia Siyu to the head of the bed and even asked, “Should we change her into pajamas?”
Use the pretext of changing pajamas to open her wardrobe—inside, there were only her clothes.
Wei Jingjing glanced over and felt it inappropriate to intrude, “Let’s leave it, she often ends up like this.”
Qin Baizhou nodded, carefully helped her off with her high heels, and tucked her into bed. He then said, “I’m going to use the restroom.”
Inside, he realized that her personal belongings were complete, including a single set of toothbrushes, which were available right there in the bathroom. After a thorough search, there was no sign of any men’s items.
This indicated that Xia Siyu was indeed sleeping separately from Bo Yan.
If she had truly been cohabiting with Bo Yan, there would be no need to keep things so neatly separated: her clothes alone in the wardrobe, and only her belongings in the bathroom and restroom. Personal items would undoubtedly be mixed.
Even if they were just sleeping together, without any commitment, it would be impossible to have absolutely no overlap in living essentials.
Qin Baizhou’s mood lightened somewhat.
Although Xia Siyu had definitely kept many things from him, her feelings for Bo Yan seemed to be minimal. However, it must be said that Bo Yan’s influence over her was growing, and he needed to pay close attention.
Qin Baizhou made a round trip and came out just as Wei Jingjing had tidied up a bit on her own behalf. As they left the apartment, Bo Yan had also changed into pajamas and was pouring some water in the living room.
Seeing them exit, Bo Yan barely glanced their way, nor did he greet them. After he got his water, he took a seat on the sofa. It was Wei Jingjing who said, “Mr. Bo, we are heading out now.”
Bo Yan nodded, acknowledging them briefly, so she and Qin Baizhou left together.
Just as they reached the ground floor, right out of the elevator, Qin Baizhou patted his pocket, “Ah, I left my keys in her room.”
Wei Jingjing paused for a moment, then said, “I’ll wait for you.”
Qin Baizhou nodded, confident as he made his way back, rang the doorbell, and smiled at the video intercom’s camera, “I’ve left my keys in her bedroom; I’m coming up to look for them.”
Bo Yan appeared nonchalant with a water glass in hand, pressing the door release button. Soon, Qin Baizhou was back upstairs, and the two men faced each other in the entrance hall.
Qin Baizhou didn’t proceed to the bedroom, nor did Bo Yan inquire. They both knew clearly that Qin Baizhou wasn’t there to look for his keys, but to have a one-on-one talk with him.
