The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 139's

He knew who it was without looking back. His voice often appears in his nightmares, and he cannot forget them.

Li Lei turned around and realized who it was. "Mr . Pei, what do you want to add? "

Xia Ling had no choice but to turn around. This was the first time he had seen Pei Ziheng from such a close distance since then he had been kidnapped and drugged by him. Under the light of the crystal lamp, his jaw was as sharp as a blade. Handsome and full of dignity, he only took a few steps and looked at her silently, but he felt a huge pressure and …

Terrified.

He had a deep fear of his instincts. His body was somewhat tense and his arrogance and indifference when dealing with the father and son of the Gu Family soon disappeared. Right now, his body was stiff due to the pressure he felt.

Li Lei felt that something was wrong with him, so he took a step forward to protect her.

As Pei Ziheng's line of sight was cut off, he became dissatisfied. However, he did not react otherwise.

"You two are just gonna walk away?" He muttered.

“I told you earlier that Xiao Ling is not feeling well. "Li Lei frowned.

"You're also called 'Xiao Ling'?" Pei Ziheng stepped forward and moved closer to Xia Ling, giving her a puzzled look. "It's a coincidence . The deceased diva was also called Xiao Ling. '”

The luxurious glass doors of the hall opened, and the cool breeze of summer felt. However, it had a sensation that was somewhat like a ghost.

At this moment, even though she knew it was impossible, Xia Ling had a bad premonition. It was as if Pei Ziheng had already seen the past and present life, and was there to demand that he return his "Xiao Ling.

“Xiao Lingmu is dead. "He tightly grabbed Li Lei's hand and shook slightly.

The guests around him gasped. Is that girl crazy? How could he speak like that to Pei Ziheng? He had to realize that Pei Ziheng was not like the father and son of the Gu Family. He was the head of the most powerful family in the city and even in the country! There was no need to even mention that he was known for his cruel and cold nature. There was no good outcome for anyone who offended him.

Many people were already grieving for Xia Ling in their hearts.

Xia Ling also knew that she was acting impulsively after saying those words. He saw a moment of fog in Pei Ziheng's eyes that predicted his true anger. Xia Ling was very scared and could not help but retreat from Li Lei. If not for Li Lei hugging her, she would probably be so frightened that she would not be able to stand up straight. A year's imprisonment in the past haunts him deeply. Although he did not fully develop Stockholm Syndrome as he had hoped, he developed a strange mental distortion.

This made him feel like a rabbit that was shocked to see a tiger every time he faced Pei Ziheng.

Looking at his pale face, the mist in his eyes slowly faded away. “Besides him, you were the first to dare to speak to me like that. "Pei Ziheng stopped. "No .. You certainly can't compare to him. Even if he caused trouble, he was always not afraid. "His sight changed and became empty and sad as if he was trapped in a distant memory.

Xia Ling was silent.

In his past life, before he was imprisoned by her, he was brave and arrogant. Even if he said something wrong in front of everyone, he could not help but care and remain confident. She was not like him now, at a loss for words after making a small mistake.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief. He could hate or say that he was not like Xia Ling …

He was grateful as long as no one knew who he really was.

With this reason, Xia Ling regained her composure after a great fear.

"I'm sorry . We're leaving now. “He said and wanted to immediately pull Li Lei with him.

"I told you before .." Li Lei tried to explain.

"I know that Miss Ye is not feeling well. "Pei Ziheng cut it. “There is a waiting room upstairs and three private doctors on standby. Miss Ye, you can rest for a while there and come down then to dance. ”

According to the normal procedure of a similar cocktail party, it is considered very rude if the guests leave early without dancing. The request made by Pei Ziheng was not too demanding. However, Li Lei did not want to spend another second in that terrifying place. It was better when Pei Ziheng did not show up. As soon as he appeared, he only wanted to take Xiao Ling with him and escape quickly.

Pei Ziheng looked as if looking through Li Lei, making a hand gesture, and the large glass door was closed.

Li Lei was furious. "What are you trying to do, sir. Pei's? "

"I hope you can honor the last cocktail party dedicated to her. "Pei Ziheng said solemnly.

The person that Pei Ziheng was referring to was clear. Many guests agreed. It was the last new song announcement party dedicated to Diva Xia Ling. Since it was his conference, it was understandable that Pei Ziheng wanted it flawlessly. This was the minimum award he could give Diva Xia Ling.

Since Xia Ling was already Xia Ling, she had never noticed this. Furthermore, Li Lei gave him his full attention, so they completely ignored how special the event was. Due to the importance of this event delivered by Pei Ziheng, it would be unwise to insist on leaving. She looked at Xia Ling asking, wanting to see what she thought about it.

If he wants to stay, he will stay with her.

If he wanted to leave, even that meant offending everyone, he would still go with him.

Naturally, Xia Ling wanted to leave, but at that moment, a man wearing a dark black suit appeared from the crowd. That Feng Kun. "Mr . Li and Miss Ye, ”he said. “Please understanding. I hope you two can consider the feelings of our emperor. ”

There was an unspeakable sadness and sadness in Feng Kun's expression.

It was sad that Xia Ling saw her old friend like that. The pain he felt was not for himself, but for the person in front of him who still remembered him long after his death. He hesitated for a moment, but since he couldn't bear to hurt Feng Kun, he nodded and said, "OK. ”

"Thank you," Feng Kun looked at him and said sincerely.

However, Li Lei was not too happy. "As long as we dance, it won't be considered leaving early, right?" Not dancing before leaving is so disrespectful. However, as long as they danced, they would show enough respect for the occasion. Moreover, Xiao Ling felt unwell, and if they left, no one could gossip about her.

Feng Kun looked at them somewhat apologetically. "Yes, please dance to a song. I know that Miss Ye is not feeling well, but I must trouble you to do so. “He was always wise, and his tone was so lukewarm that no one could find a reason to be angry.

Xia Ling also had no intention to go against her will. He simply nodded and said, "Then we will dance to a song. ”

He only wanted to leave the place as soon as possible, so he pulled Li Lei's hand and entered the dance floor.

Music that was stopped because of the quarrel started again. Li Lei used one hand to support Xia Ling's waist and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how to dance? Don't panic, just follow my lead. ”

Everyone is watching them. Hypothetically speaking, it was impossible for a celebrity like her to not know how to dance, she said, but she had never seen him perform this kind of social dance before and had no idea how skilled he was at it or if he was going to make a mistake in public.

He deliberately wanted to take care of her, so he slowed down the rhythm.

Xia Ling did not speak. He just followed the movements of his body and danced gently and slowly. Her graceful and adept demeanor showed that she was not a beginner. Her long dress spun as the song played. Soon, everyone could not take their eyes off them.
