Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle: Return of the Queen

Chapter 47 Silent Night Frost Flower

Taken the phone and looked at it, the caller ID turned out to be Li Lei.

 At the beginning, when he sent the housekeeper to give her a mobile phone, he had pre-stored his number. Xia Ling tried to delete it, but could not.

Looking at the endless blinking incoming call notifications, Xia Ling was helpless, scratching her hair, reluctantly getting out of the warm bed, throwing on a coat, getting up and going to the balcony of the dormitory to answer the phone.

 On the balcony, the night wind is cold and cool.

The sky was dark, and there was a dark red star hanging alone in the sky, which looked a little desolate. Everything was quiet everywhere, the endless dormitory buildings were dark and dim, and the lights were dimmed.

She glanced at the big fluorescent clock opposite the dormitory building. It read 1:14 in the morning.

 Very good, I don’t know what’s wrong with Mr. Boss.

　　She suppressed her tiredness and said "Hey".

Li Lei's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying something unclearly, but she didn't hear it clearly.

Xia Ling thought the signal was not good, frowned, changed her posture, and said "Hey" again.

This time, I finally heard him calling her name: "Ye Xingling..." The voice was low and hoarse, and even her articulation was blurred. It was completely different from usual, a little less lazy and cynical, and a little more lonely and... fragile. .

 She shuddered at her thoughts.

 Could it be that you had a drink? This thought flashed through Xia Ling's mind.

Over there, Big Boss Li stopped for a while and asked with some uncertainty: "Ye Xingling, are you... still there?"

 She said: “Yes.”

Li Lei stopped talking. There was a long silence. Only the sound of breathing came quietly through the signal.

The wind picked up in the night, bringing a slight chill to the body. The black iron railing at hand was lightly covered with frost. If you accidentally touched it, it was bitingly cold. When she came out, she was only wearing a set of pajamas. At this moment, she felt that her whole body was trembling. However, between returning to bed to catch up on her sleep or continuing to stand here stupidly while he consumed her, she inexplicably chose the latter.

 Finding a corner with leeward wind, she curled up and said, "BOSS, what do you want to see me for?"

 He still didn't speak, and was unusually quiet.

However, it was abnormal for him to call her in the middle of the night. If he hadn't pronounced her name accurately, she would have suspected that he just dialed the wrong number.

 After waiting patiently for a while, he finally said: "I watched your performance today."

She was slightly startled. She didn't see him in the small performance hall during the day, so he was...

“Tan Ying sent me the video,” he said.

"Mr. Tan is such a good employee." Xia Ling gritted her teeth and tried not to yawn, scolding Tan Ying a thousand and eight hundred times in her heart. It's all because of his meddling and posting random videos, otherwise, boss Li would be able to think of her in the middle of the night? !

"He is indeed a good employee." Li Lei's voice was magnetic and hoarse, "Tan Ying said... maybe in the future, we will... fight against the emperor for you." His pronunciation was still a bit unclear, and it took some effort for her to hear it clearly. "This is a big event. He asked me to evaluate it to see if you...are worth it."

In the Nancheng apartment, Li Lei's slender and well-proportioned body was leaning on the leather sofa. On the LCD TV screen opposite the sofa, the song "Siren" she sang a cappella at the review meeting was playing in a loop. He stared at her with his wine glass in his hand, drunkenly, but did not tell her that he was not evaluating, he just simply... wanted to see her.

On the balcony of the training camp dormitory, Xia Ling thought she understood the meaning of Tan Yingchuan's video. She couldn't help but become nervous and asked cautiously: "Then do you think I'm worth it?"

Li Lei laughed softly.

 “BOSS?” She felt anxious and anxious. "Ye Xingling," he did not answer her question directly, he only said, "Do you really not consider becoming my person? I can give you everything you want. Your future stardom will be bright, and any diva or superstar will be at your fingertips."

 She frowned: "No."

 “You make an offer.”

“No price can make me give in,” she said coldly.

 “If you don’t ask for a price, go to the Emperor.” He groped with some difficulty on the leather sofa, raised his hand, filled himself another glass of wine, and drank it all. He was so drunk that his hands were shaking. Most of the amber liquid spilled on his body and flowed down his neck to his chest. The area on his chest near his heart was covered with thick gauze and dark blood came out.

  No one can resist the temptation of profit. For money, his brother, who has been through life and death for many years, betrayed him today.

There was severe pain near the heart, and Li Lei said solemnly: "Don't think that I dare not do anything to you."

Xia Ling has no idea what Big Boss Li is going through, but obviously, it doesn't make sense.

After being coerced and lured by him many times, she became angry and couldn't help but sneer: "Li Lei, you are overestimating yourself. Is it great to be rich and powerful? I tell you, I won't accompany you anymore. I am now I will tell you clearly that I will never become yours even if I die, let alone the emperor! You can go to court and sue me for breach of contract, whatever."

She was so angry that she even uttered vulgar words. After she finished cursing, she hung up the phone decisively.

The night wind picked up again, and frost spread on the black iron railings. She looked at the complicated and cold patterns, and her heart felt astringent. I thought that after such a long time and after she rejected him several times, Li Lei had given up on her. Unexpectedly, he never gave up on her, thinking about her again and again.

 She underestimated his patience.

Now, for his own sake, he threatened her with the murderous move of transferring to the Emperor. However, what is the essential difference between someone who goes to the Emperor and becomes Pei Ziheng, and someone who stays in Tianyi and becomes him? They are just playthings.

 She doesn't want to be anyone's plaything, even if she breaks her contract with Tianyi.

She has no intention of complying with the transfer order, and she can't afford the high liquidated damages. It doesn't matter. The worst she can do is go to jail. Even if she becomes a prisoner, she will not sell her body.

She took a deep breath and put her pale fingers on the black iron railing. The chill seemed to spread to the bottom of her heart.

Back in bed, she tossed and turned, thinking about what to do in the future, how to protect herself from violence during the period before she fell out with Tianyi and was sent to prison.

　　In front of those in power, she is so small and vulnerable.

Unexpectedly, in the quiet night, she thought of a man who was like a **** - Pei Ziheng. He once arranged her clothes and dried her wet hair so gently. They set off fireworks together on Valentine's Day, and he pulled her frozen hand into his arms. They cut the cake together on her birthday, and he gently scraped the cream off the tip of her nose...

 My heart is sore and painful, and I feel empty and uncomfortable.

Xia Ling curled up tightly in the quilt. For a moment, she thought to herself that she might as well follow Chu Chen back to the embrace that still made her nostalgic. From now on, she would obediently listen to his words and no longer have to worry about being homeless; Tell him clearly who she is and cry in his arms.

But there is a voice in my heart that is always alert: Xiao Ling, don’t forget those terrible past events. All tenderness is false. He turns his hands into clouds and rain, and dominates your whole world. Heaven or hell, only in his in a moment.

 You can’t even tell whether he has ever loved you or not.

Hooking up her body even tighter, Xia Ling bit her teeth between her fingers to suppress the sob.
