The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 428 - 427 Happy Birthday (5)
Chapter 428: Chapter 427 Happy Birthday (5)
Qin Baizhou was twenty-three that year, just graduated from university. He majored in Chinese for his undergraduate studies and went to a traditional media company after graduation. Eight years ago, traditional media had already been on the decline, but it was stable and the income was acceptable. Unwilling to settle for the stable but just over ten thousand income, Qin Baizhou soon resigned and joined an entertainment company as a journalist. There, he wrote various plans and soft articles and also moonlighted as a Star Scout.
In his first month on the job, he discovered Xia Siyu on the street, astonishingly beautiful, and invited her to come have a look at the company.
At that time, Xia Siyu had just broken up with Bo Yan and there had been major changes at home, but with her mother being a film queen, she didn’t have any natural aversion to showbiz and quickly signed a contract.
With just a bit of training, it seemed Xia Siyu had a natural talent for acting and for the camera, she grabbed it and just knew. Her debut movie was a big sell, and she quickly became the hottest rookie.
But then, she was too beautiful, a born star. Qin Baizhou was just a minor Star Scout and later went from assistant to agent, and then to a partner. Although it appeared that he and Xia Siyu supported each other, in reality, it was a one-sided adoration from him.
Only now, when the company had regained its footing and his position was secure, able to provide Xia Siyu with more opportunities for development, capable of supporting her to the top, did he feel confident enough to pursue her.
“Is something the matter?” Xia Siyu was a bit tired, having been too busy with work recently. Even though she hadn’t been filming, it had been non-stop every day. She had wanted to go back to get some rest, but since a room was already booked here, she might as well stay in the suite for the night.
“In a while, do you have time for a drink?” Qin Baizhou seldom asked her out for drinks; he knew that Xia Siyu was prone to gaining weight and swelling, her face swelling up with alcohol. But there was nothing pressing tomorrow, she could rest, and in two days they were off to the Northwest to start shooting.
He wanted to confess quickly, whether to live or die, to ensure a place in her heart first.
Xia Siyu didn’t think much of it: “Then you’ll have to wait a bit, I want to go back to take a shower and remove my makeup, this dress is too tight, it’s suffocating.”
She thought that Qin Baizhou was seeking her out for some serious talk.
Qin Baizhou naturally agreed, his smile gentle, “Then I’ll come to your room to find you in an hour.”
“Okay.” Xia Siyu nodded, Wei Jingjing helped her with her things, and the two went upstairs.
Wei Jingjing was originally going to help her sort things out, but she received a message from Qin Baizhou on WeChat, asking her to come out for a bit.
She said to Xia Siyu, “Qin Ge is looking for me, probably has some matters to discuss.”
“It’s okay, I’m pretty tired today too; you can go get some rest after you’re done too.” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Wei Jingjing nodded, “Then if you need anything, just call me later, I’ll be in the room downstairs.”
Xia Siyu nodded, and Wei Jingjing left the room.
Qin Baizhou was just outside the door, which startled Wei Jingjing for a moment, but Qin Baizhou pierced right through with his question, “Is there anyone else in her room?”
Wei Jingjing shook her head: “No.”
It seemed Bo Yan wasn’t there.
Good, Qin Baizhou smiled faintly, “You’ve worked hard today, you should rest well. I’ll take care of Siyu here.”
He was very patient; he had waited seven years already, what was one more hour?

Xia Siyu had taken a shower and removed her makeup, half an hour later.
The Yancheng Hotel was by the Yan River, in the heart of Yancheng, where the tallest and most expensive buildings of the CBD stood. Naturally, Xia Siyu chose the most expensive presidential suite to stay in, drawing back the curtains, she was greeted with a beautiful scene through an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.
Just as she finished her skincare routine, her phone received a message:
