Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the future, when the ninety-two-year-old Pei Ziheng reminisced on his long life, he found that the happiest years of his life were actually when Xia Ling had looked forward to becoming his bride.
If time could be turned back, he would give her a grand weather before all the damages were too late to prevent. If so, would he be able to continue possessing her innocent smile for ten or so more years? However, the promise of a lifetime was destroyed by his own arrogance and conceitedness.
It had been ordinary at the time.
The young and distinguished business emperor protecting his own little girl who grew up slowly, from a small trainee to a world-famous singer that had many people adoring her voice. No matter how many shocking achievements she accomplished, she would always look to him with such reverence and love.
He was her God.
The day the sky collapsed, the weather was as normal.
In the early autumn, Xia Ling went out and saw the first green ginkgo leaf among a bunch of leaves turn golden yellow. She was delighted and carefully plucked the leaf off, wanting to wait until the commercial today was filmed to show it to him. Fall came very early this year and it was so beautiful, so it must be a good season for a romantic harvest.
Chu Chen accompanied her to the nanny car.
There was also an assistant in the car and a makeup artist. The atmosphere was abnormally silent.
She felt a little strange and smiled. “What’s wrong with you all? You’re usually so noisy, why aren’t you talking today? Are you nervous because we’re filming a new announcement today?”
The assistant and the makeup artist laughed forcefully. “How could we be nervous when Miss Xiao Ling isn’t even nervous.”
She said happily, “Cheer up and lift your spirits. I’ll treat everyone to a good meal once we’re done filming. Oh yes, Chu Chen, when is Ziheng done with his schedule? He just returned from overseas yesterday and must be extremely busy today too. I’ll contact him later and get him to come to eat with us once he’s done.”
Both the assistant and the makeup artist looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen smiled. “Boss is busy today and isn’t available. In the short period of time he wasn’t in the company, a lot of things have accumulated for him to deal with. Xiao Ling, EMP TV Station just called and said the program has changed and they have pushed forward the recording time. You will have to rush to record the announcement in the afternoon. We’ll just eat a light meal for lunch.”
“Oh…” Xia Ling was very disappointed. She thought she was free in the afternoon.
Chu Chen still smiled. “I have good news. This way, your schedule tomorrow would be cleared. Boss’ secretary has asked me for your schedule and said Boss intends to bring you out to play.”
“Really?” In the blink of an eye, she was no longer disappointed, and her eyes sparkled brightly. “I knew he was the best.”
Chu Chen responded as usual.
A group of people guarded her into the TV Station building. Today was a personal interview program and mainly invited her to talk about her journey to stardom and some behind the scenes stories. Once she entered the exclusive lounge, the make-up team that Imperial Entertainment set up just for her started doing her makeup, but everyone was strangely silent the whole time.
Xia Ling looked down at the question and answer form and was not aware.
Someone knocked on the door. A staff member of the TV Station came in and said to Chu Chen, “Mr. Chu, the interview room has been arranged. Please confirm and make sure there’s no problem.”
Chu Chen said, “Ah Cha, go and confirm.”
Ah Cha was Xia Ling’s assistant. He responded that he would go and confirm it, but Xia Ling stopped him. “Wait.” She looked up and said to Chu Chen, “You have always been the one going to confirm, why are you asking Ah Cha today? How could she understand my aesthetic style and preferences as well as you do? You go and see, and don’t make any mistakes.”
Chu Chen said, “You’re getting more and more famous, so we have to train Ah Cha and let her take the responsibility.”
“I don’t care!” Xia Ling said. “I want you to go.”
She was extremely unreasonable when she threw a tantrum, not to mention she was on her period these days, so Chu Chen did not want to make her unhappy over such a small matter and had to give in. “Okay, I’ll go.” Chu Chen glanced at Ah Cha meaningfully. “Take care of Xiao Ling and don’t let any of the crowd in, understand?”
“Yes.” Ah Cha solemnly promised.
Chu Chen quickly stepped out. Read more chapter on NovelFull
Unexpectedly, the accident still happened.
A TV Station Staff took the question and answer form and asked, “Is Mr. Chu here? We adjusted a few questions at the last moment and need him to confirm it.”
“Brother Chu isn’t here,” Ah Cha said. “You have to go to the studio to find him.”
“Wait.” Xia Ling was still looking at the form and heard the questions had changed. “Bring it here for me to confirm directly. The program is recording soon, we won’t make it if you let him confirm before giving it to me.”
“But that’s not very suitable?” Ah Cha suddenly said.
Xia Ling frowned. “Why are all of you so strange today? Are these questions being answered by me or him? What’s wrong with giving it to me sooner so I can check it?”
She reached out her hand unhappily to the staff. “Bring it here!”
The staff glanced at Ah Cha and back at Xia Ling. He hesitated before handing the form over to Xia Ling. Who was he kidding, this arrogant singer was already famous in the industry for being hard to serve, and many people had even lost their jobs after offending her. He didn’t want to lose his job too.
Ah Cha couldn’t stop it and watched with a horrified expression as Xia Ling took the form.
“What’s wrong with your expression?” Xia Ling was not satisfied. “Why can’t I check the questions? You’re really making a big fuss.” Her eyes swept over the list and she suddenly lost her voice.
On the newly released question and answer form, a few new questions were circled with a red pen. Among them, the most eye-catching one was—[Miss Xia Ling, what do you think about Mr. Pei Ziheng and Ms. Wang Jingwan’s engagement?]
Pei Ziheng…
Was engaged?!
For a moment, she was suspicious of her own eyes, and she stared at the form and stopped breathing. How could Pei Ziheng be engaged? His fiance was… was… a woman she had never heard of?!
Her face turned pale and the sky seemed to spin. She heard herself asking in a dry voice, “This form, there’s something wrong, right? When was Ziheng engaged to someone, I… why don’t I know.”
“Didn’t Mr. Pei tell you?” The staff was shocked. “A few days ago, they held an engagement ceremony after booking a whole island. They even sent a media draft and spread it everywhere.”
Xia Ling’s breathing went tight. “Impossible.”
Suddenly she turned to Ah Cha and the rest. “He’s engaged? Did you all know?”
They were all scared senseless and didn’t know how to react. They had heard the news about Pei Ziheng’s engagement a few days ago and had even admired the engagement photos for being beautiful. But Chu Chen had told them sternly not to tell Xia Ling. Now that Xia Ling knew the truth, would Chu Chen peel their skin?
