The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1682 - 1672: Official Announcement (Part 5)

It’s not easy; even though we’ve been married for four or five years, there still hasn’t been a chance to go public. In the past, he was always the one to propose going public, but Xia Siyu had her concerns. This time, she actually suggested it herself!

There are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who hide their marriages, mostly to keep their fanbase or because they’ve signed agreements with their companies, making it inconvenient or undesirable to go public. Even if they’re secretly photographed, they can only play dumb and deny it. He’s different. It seems like he’s in control of their life together, with Xia Siyu asking him about things she doesn’t understand and relying on him. He just guides, but in reality, she’s the one who has the decision-making power in their relationship.

Because she’s different; if she gets angry, she might kick him away even if she still likes him. It’s not the first time she’s done this. And he, by comparison, doesn’t want to lose her even more. In a relationship, whoever cares more loses.

It’s not that she doesn’t care about their relationship, but she’s always the relatively independent one. She’s never afraid of failure, nor is she afraid to start over—no matter how many ups and downs she’s faced, she’s never been seen to be despondent.

Between the two of them, for small matters, she listens to him; for big decisions, they discuss together, but for these decisive choices, she has the upper hand. He’s watching her getting closer step by step, and now she’s even come up with going public.

Even though the reason is to trick some money, just thinking this way already proves she’s let go of everything. Including the plan she mentioned, to focus solely on work without distractions before turning thirty.

Bo Yan rarely gets so excited, repeating the same words three times. In the past, even when he heard her express something, like her silly confession last time, he just felt sweetness inside, unlike the excitement he’s feeling now.

To put it plainly, love can be private, not wanting one’s personal life to be exposed to others. Or it can be public, because falling in love makes it unbearable not to let the world know, the kind of liking that can’t be hidden, which is why it’s called "showing off love."

Getting a marriage certificate is just a legal procedure; in many people’s minds, only by holding a proper wedding and announcing it to family and friends is considered being married. It’s the same with dating; two people having feelings for each other and being together is just being together. Only when meeting family and friends does it mean formally introducing the boyfriend into one’s personal life.

He cleared his throat, settled down, gradually controlled his emotions: "Going public is good, but we can still negotiate the price."

In business, naturally, you have to quote a price!

He even chuckled: "I estimate that if we want to take a break, we should do it early. Tomorrow morning, they should come looking for us to discuss another price."

"Indeed." Xia Siyu nodded, then said briskly to Wei Jingjing, "Thank you for your hard work, talk to Song Fengzhi tonight. Let’s unite and accept one payment. Draft a quote for commercial and extra scenes. Oh, and help me return that military coat I rented to the owner."

Only then did Wei Jingjing react, nodding repeatedly. As Xia Siyu packed, Wei Jingjing still stood there not moving. Xia Siyu frowned slightly: "Do you have something else?"

"Ah, no, it’s just that you guys..." Xia Siyu she’s not worried about; scandals surround her all the time, one more won’t make a difference. But it’s Bo Yan she’s worried about.

Bo Yan noticed her gaze and smiled: "Go chat with Song Fengzhi."

Before leaving, Wei Jingjing heard Xia Siyu muttering behind her: "Damn it, rolling around in the desert for two days without a shower, I’ve got sand in my hair." Originally thinking she could happily take a bath and then rest, but with price negotiations tomorrow, there would be no time for leisure.

But then again, leisure can come after work is done. While still working, one must constantly maintain their state. If missing a few hours of sleep can bring in tens of millions in investment... she’d be willing to sleep less every day.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.

First of all, Zhou Weiwei and her group hardly slept, needing to pack up and report to the production team; they were planning a big surprise. After reporting, before dawn, they embarked on their journey—a 36-hour bus ride to Yancheng.

The senior group contacted their darling daughter, booking her plane tickets, buying clothes, preparing her to attend the program as well. Even if it’s just to make an appearance, it’s good to let her participate more, paving her way into the entertainment industry.

Shang Feifei and Han Yifan both rarely suggested any surprise projects to the production team. Both have reservations about their future together. Currently, they aren’t planning on a long-term commitment, just wanting to cherish the present. All those pledges and dream matches can’t beat the reality of choice and future planning. Instead of losing sleep over arranging surprises, they are pondering their future together.

Bo Yan and Xia Siyu, on the other hand, quickly took a bath and rested. Xia Siyu has always been a person who never regrets her decisions; she has no worries and falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow. Watching her sleep soundly, Bo Yan also felt utterly at ease. While they were relaxed, all the pressure burdened the production team.

In fact, everyone knew the two were a couple—not just the production team, but even the audience, fans, hackers, and passers-by knew. But until they made an official announcement, it was just an underground romance. However, if they went public, Xia Siyu would be the first girlfriend Bo Yan officially acknowledged in black and white, and that was certainly significant.

The two raised their price significantly, asking for an additional fee for joint advertisements, but as for the official announcement, how much of it is going public depended on the production team’s "sincerity."

After some discussion, Wei Jingjing and Song Fengzhi sent their requests to the production team.

Honestly speaking, these days, even if a big celebrity appears on a program, they generally cooperate. A few years ago, when extreme challenge activities were quite popular, the production team had guests bungee jumping from hundred-meter towers, surviving in the wild, eating bugs and drinking urine, and taking on all kinds of challenges.

Audiences also enjoyed watching celebrities showcase themselves in reality shows; if their performance wasn’t good or enthusiastic, no matter how big a star they were, there would always be people to criticize.

The production team was used to putting guests through the wringer. Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, well, it’s not that they didn’t cooperate. Their "non-cooperation" instead came off as a contrasting kind of charm, and audiences liked watching them outwit the production team. But this behavior of raising their price was indeed a first; they were actually asking for investment in their drama!

If the production team didn’t invest or invested less, their level of going public would be lower. To be honest, the chief director was curious—if they invested more, to what extent could the two announce? Would it fast-forward to "Yes, I have a child"?
