Actually, up to this day, Bo Yan no longer feels much hostility toward this "love rival."
The term "love rival" refers to someone who possesses the ability to compete against him, thereby capturing his attention. Back then, his relationship with Xia Siyu was still unclear, while Xia Siyu and Qin Baizhou had been friends for seven years and worked closely together. Qin Baizhou's aggressive demeanor naturally made him feel uneasy.
Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't take Qin Baizhou seriously anymore. It's just that now, as circumstances shift, his relationship with Xia Siyu is stable, while Qin Baizhou's various actions have basically proven that he's out of the picture. Xia Siyu may seem reckless, but she has a mental ledger inside her. She's very clear on who stands where.
The most important foundation of a relationship, whether between a couple or partners, is trust. He trusts Xia Siyu enough, and Xia Siyu trusts him too.
