The Rebirth of a Diva

The epispde 37

The eye-catching boy turned around, and hence, the people crowding around him did as well.

Upon seeing Xia Ling surrounded, Li Lei's brows furrowed, and he carried out a hand signal. On this order, the crowd of tall men stopped laughing and quickly resumed their professionalism and got into a position. What looked like a crowd that one could easily pierce immediately became some sort of iron wall, and a faint deadly sense buzzed in the air.

The grip that the two bodyguards had on Xia Ling was tightened.

The atmosphere turned silent.

There was a pause before Li Lei laughed. "What is Imperial Entertainment doing, Mr Pei with my artist?"

Pei Ziheng looked serious. "Li Lei, this is a personal matter."

Xia Ling's heart leaped down her throat, afraid that the reason Pei Ziheng would change Li Lei immediately. After all, her boss had never really mixed up her relationship with work, and it was not long before she had just refused to be her lover, so surely she had somehow hit her reputation. If she wanted to be an observer and see him insulted and intimidated, this was the perfect time for her to do so.

However, he only looked at Pei Ziheng with curiosity. "Trainee Skyart Entertainment has no personal issues."

Xia Ling sighed she did not realize she was holding and immediately felt her boss was a great person. He was clearly planning to intervene. And he is not entirely wrong, Skyart trainees have no secrets – trainees are backup artists, and in the eyes of an artist, there is no gap between what is private and what is public.

"Li Lei," Pei Ziheng's voice sounded softly, a little amused, "he's just a little chick. I can't trust someone as important as you can only recognize trainees."

Li Lei innocently replied, "I am a boss who cares about my employees."

He started again. "Mrs. Pei, please let go of Ye Xingling. He's still a kid, so he still makes mistakes. If he offended you in the past, please let me take him to the task. I will be held responsible for his mistakes."

Pei Ziheng looked at him deeply, an indecipherable expression on his face.

Li Lei's attitude had still not changed. He relaxed, half-smilingly played on his lips as the dozens of people behind him continued to increase their guard. The tension in the air is thick and suffocating.

On the other hand, Pei Ziheng only had two bodyguards, and Xia Ling was behind him.

Finally, Pei Ziheng lightly raised his hand.

The bodyguards let Xia Ling go.

The moment of freedom shocked him for a moment, not believing that it came so simple, that Pei Ziheng also had moments of weakness. However, soon after, his heart swelled with anxiety. . .

“Why are you still standing there, come here,” He heard Li Lei say.

A moment of clarity struck him, and he climbed to his side, staying close behind his figure. His male gang swarmed over him, and he tried to calm down as cold sweat drenched his back.

Pei Ziheng's eyes never left him, eyeing closely, and it became a thorn in his back.

Li Lei shifted, almost unnoticed, and his figure surpassed his.

"Li Lei," Pei Ziheng spoke slowly. "You can defend him now, but that doesn't mean you can do the same for the rest of his life."

“I don't need you to worry about that now, Director Pei,” Li Lei smirked.

When those words fell, he raised his hand again, and the entire procession headed for the elevator.

As she slipped into the elevator, Xia Ling could not help but turn her head, and through the cracks of the crowd, she caught a glimpse of Pei Ziheng. He had not moved since then, but his gaze was impenetrable. His eyes were trained on the woman like fire, like an abyss that he could not explore.

Fear struck him again, and he rushed to the elevator.

When the doors were closed, the men talked. "Boss, are you really real? Even something like a trip to the hospital can make you a hero? This little beauty from the Skyart training program? I don't think you care about that business?"

"Little beauty, don't be afraid, you have a brother like us here. People won't even dream of intimidating you."

As they chatted, at that moment the intimidating people who had faced off against Pei Ziheng were no longer around, replaced with gossipy aunts who wanted the latest news. Xia Ling could feel a headache, and the rest of the trauma and pain from before had been eliminated due to the chaos. Anyone who said that a group of noisy women like a flock of ducks clearly did not see what a group of noisy men could do.

In that chaos, only Li Lei remained silent, laughing at the sight with his hands pressed against the glass wall.

He was locked up beside her in close proximity, and he could even observe her breathing pattern and smell the sunlight and fresh grass on her skin. It was the most entertaining feeling in the world.

Not long before they reached the basement, the door opened with a ding.

The crowd spilled out, saying goodbye to Li Lei before recklessly making their way.

Before he knew it, it was just the two of them again.

Xia Ling raised her head to look at him. In the dim light of the garage, his eyes were dark and deep, and his sculpted face was extremely handsome. With one hand in his pocket, he looked like a billboard model, stunning beyond words. It was hard to believe that this person had saved him from Pei Ziheng.

"Thank you, Boss," he said sincerely.

Smiling, he replied, "Instead of thanking me, how about you be grateful for your luck. Do you not want to live anymore? Why are you messing with Pei Ziheng?"

He's not — can't answer. How can he say that he is not actively out there looking for trouble? That Pei Ziheng had tracked him down and come to kill himself? No one's gonna believe him. "I was wrong" he said, resignedly.

His attractive brows furrowed, considering it for a moment.

Now he really did not know why he was unhappy with her anymore.

"I don't like it when people ignore me" he said. "And it's not like you who made a mess the other day either. If you're so quick to apologize, I'm sure there's something you're not telling me. Tell me the truth, how did you get on Pei Ziheng's bad side?"

His heart leaped again, shocked by his acute inference skill. He was right, he had apologized from the start to let the situation die sooner. And his past with Pei Ziheng has become an emotional rollercoaster, too powerful for him to consider without feeling the same flash of trauma again.

He just wanted to give the simplest explanation.

But Li Lei refused to let the matter rest, instead waiting in silence for the answer.

He tilted his head, not wanting to meet his eyes. "Pei Ziheng ..." Just saying the name itself spent most of his energy trying to temper his feelings, "interested in me. He wanted me to be that woman. I don't know what he saw in me."

Li Lei's eyes deepened. There was still something else that the woman did not reveal, her detective skills nagged, but she decided to let the matter stop after seeing a fist by her side. . .

He then smiled and seriously changed the subject. "Where do you live? I'll send you home."

"Aah?" He asked in disbelief, never expecting his boss to be so good. "It's okay, it'll be troublesome. I can go back alone."

"You want to go alone?" He scoffed. "I don't mind but, I'm afraid you won't arrive in time because Pei Ziheng's minions might do it again."

Xia Ling remembered Pei Ziheng's gaze, and shivered on his back.

"Then, can you .. send me back to the training camp" he whispered.

She definitely can't go back to Ye's. After all, his so-called "parents" had already betrayed him once, and definitely did not hesitate to betray him once more. He had not gotten used to the other places, and after deep thought, the only place that was convenient for him was the training camp.

Li Lei laughed again. "You really gave me money, yeah. We are now in the South City, but the camp is in the North City. One thing that must cross the city is one thing, but the problem is that the traffic at this time is very bad." . Ye Xingling, you're kidding me, right? "
