Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle: Return of the Queen

Chapter 85 Forgetting the Past

Xia Ling felt that she had had a long dream. In the dream, there were sounds of fighting, chaotic lights, endless fog, and a terrifying demon holding a dark green medicine bottle... She ran as hard as she could, but she didn't know. After running for a long time, I tripped and fell. I fell from the cliff and fell into deep darkness...

 Suddenly, I woke up with a start.

 What came into view was the handsome face of a man.

She looked at the concerned expression in his deep eyes, and her consciousness gradually returned to her mind.

This is where? She wanted to speak, but found that she still couldn't make a sound, and she couldn't help but panic.

Li Lei comforted her with a warm voice: "Xiao Ling, don't worry, the doctor has checked your throat and there is hope for recovery. Trust me, I will definitely cure you."

She looked at him uncertainly, really?

As if he saw her doubts, he smiled warmly: "Really, I promise."

Her heart calmed down a little.

Li Lei handed her a writing pad: "Just write what you want to say on it."

Xia Ling took it and wrote in Juanxiu handwriting: Where am I? What time is it now?

"You have been unconscious for a day and a night. Now you are in my territory. It is very safe." Li Lei briefly told what happened after she fell into coma. "I sent people to destroy Pei Ziheng's property. After the stock market opens today, Pei's stock price will rise." The whole market plummeted, and I prepared a lot of negative news for him. This incident will teach him enough lessons.”

 Her heart ached when she heard that man's name.

That night, he was so callous and ruthless when he force-fed her drugs that she could no longer have any illusions about him. Does Pei Ziheng love Xia Ling? She didn't know, but what she was sure of was that he had not fallen in love with "Ye Xingling" even by a hair. The life that belonged to Queen Xia Ling has passed. Now she is Ye Xingling, and he...

 No involvement at all.

 She told Li Lei on the writing board: I want to rest for a few days.

She needs time to seal up that man. From now on, he will walk his Yangguan Road, she will cross her single-plank bridge, and all the stormy life and death love will become a thing of the past.

 She was taken back to the apartment by Li Lei, locked herself in the room, and licked her wounds.

Li Lei was very worried and came to see her every day, cooking for her, bringing tea and water, feeding fish and watering flowers. But he never disturbed her, and always left reluctantly after being with her quietly.

 Finally one day, she grabbed Li Lei who came to deliver lunch and wrote: I want to go out for a walk.

Li Lei was surprised: "Xiao Ling?"

  She looked at him with a smile: BOSS, thank you for this time. I'm fine now, don't worry.

"It's good that you're fine." He was happier than she was. "Come on, I'll take you for a walk."

They didn’t go too far, just circling slowly in the garden of the community below the apartment building. The sunshine was clear and the sweet chirping of birds came from the shade of the trees, making her feel as if she had not been outside for many days. From her rebirth to now, the shadow of Pei Ziheng has always remained in her heart. It was only at this moment that she really made up her mind to forget him and live a new life.

 Thanks to the warm man in front of me.

Walking among the green trees and the fragrance of flowers, Li Lei's shoulder touched hers lightly from time to time. This time, she did not avoid it.

 Walked under an electronic billboard.

Various exquisite advertisements are scrolling alternately on it, including one - Four Seasons Restaurant's Beginning of Summer Festival, the annual chef's special ice cream is coming again.

She stopped and looked up at the advertisement.

 The bright electronic lights reflected on her face, and she remembered that in her previous life, she had always loved sweets, especially ice cream. She had long wanted to try the chef's special ice cream that was said to be super delicious. This chef's special ice cream at Four Seasons Restaurant is only available during the Beginning of Summer every year. There is only one serving in total, and only the luckiest girl that night can eat it. It is said that a girl who eats this ice cream will grow old together with her beloved.

Xia Ling loved Pei Ziheng deeply at that time and wanted to get him to give it a try, but Pei Ziheng gently refused, like he was treating an ignorant child: "Xiao Ling, you promised me not to expose our relationship." Go. Most of the people competing for the ice cream were lovers. He couldn't afford the risk and didn't want to be discovered and exposed.

 She felt aggrieved, but she no longer persisted.

 So, even though they have been together for more than ten years, she has never eaten this ice cream.

She was looking at the billboard in a daze, and a gentle and magnetic male voice unexpectedly sounded in her ears: "Do you like ice cream? I'll take you there."

 She turned her head and saw Li Lei's shining eyes.

 It’s too late. She subconsciously wrote this sentence on the writing board. Because she was so eager, she spent a lot of time paying attention to the situation of this store. Every year, the seats for the Beginning of Summer Festival dinner were very popular, and all the seats were booked months in advance. Now, the Beginning of Summer is less than a week away. Yes, it’s a ghost if you can still book a seat.

Li Lei smiled and said, "Put it on me."

I don’t know what trick he used, but he actually took her to the Four Seasons Restaurant on the night of the Beginning of Summer Festival.

The Four Seasons Restaurant is located in a prosperous area of ​​the city. It is a luxurious French restaurant with a per capita consumption of tens of thousands of yuan. The parking lot at the entrance is full of luxury cars: Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari...

 Li Lei parked the modified Land Rover into the parking space, got out of the car, walked around to the passenger seat, and opened the door for Xia Ling like a gentleman.

 “My lady, please.” He smiled and stretched out his arm, motioning for Xia Ling to take her arm. For the Beginning of Summer dinner at the Four Seasons Restaurant, formal attire was always required. Today, he wore a light-colored suit, a meticulous tie, and bright cufflinks. He was well-dressed and elegant, and with his extremely handsome face, he annoyed several passing women nearby. The child looks back frequently.

Xia Ling was in a good mood and reached out to hold him.

She is also very beautiful today. She is wearing a light aqua blue fishtail dress with unique diamonds on the lapel. Her long crow-green hair is tied into a gorgeous bun, with strands of broken hair hanging down. There is an intoxicating style.

 She was led into the restaurant by him and took a seat.

To her surprise, not only did he book a seat in such a short period of time, but he also booked a very good location - leaning against the entire floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down from the 19th floor, the city's dotted lights were extremely beautiful.

The waiter brought the menu, bowed, and politely asked the two of them what they wanted to eat.

Li Lei didn’t look at the menu and signaled the waiter to hand it to Xia Ling: “Just order whatever you like.”

The waiter handed the lady another menu, which only had dishes on it and no prices.

Xia Ling has been dreaming of dining here since her last life. She has studied the menu here countless times and has already memorized it by heart. She had thought about it a long time ago, what to order if she could come here with Pei Ziheng - red wine baked snails is a must, it is Pei Ziheng's favorite; and lemon oysters, he is very picky about lemons, but it is said that this restaurant Not bad; the filet mignon also has a unique flavor, he will definitely like it...

Xia Ling looked at the menu in a daze, but now, these are no longer needed.

She lowered her head, looking for the dishes she liked little by little, and pointed them out to the waiter: cabbage salad with caviar, cream of mushroom soup, pan-fried scallops with foie gras, grilled lamb chops... There was no trace of that man in each dish.

After finishing the order, she raised her eyes and asked Li Lei what he wanted to add.

Li Lei smiled: "Our tastes are very similar. You will definitely like the fried lobster meat, and the veal stew here is said to be good too." He casually added a few dishes, ordered table wine, and told the waiter to place the order.

Xia Ling also laughed. Indeed, the dishes he ordered were all her favorites.

 But the smile soon froze on his face.

 She saw—

 Pei Ziheng.
