The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 39's

After eating, Xia Ling volunteered to stay in the kitchen to help her clean up the mess. He especially did not want to stay in the living room facing the leopard named Er Mao alone. Li Lei looked at him and said, "Don't cause any more trouble here. Rest in the guest room, this is the second room on the left."

He obediently went to the guest room, as if he had just saved his life.

The guest rooms are neat and spacious, with thick and soft carpets spread across the floor. An oak wine refrigerator contains a variety of expensive wines.

Xia Ling opened the closet and saw many open clothes hanging inside. These clothes are professional and made from special choice materials, and the labels on the clothes indicate that they are all pieces from internationally renowned luxury brands. None of these can be bought by a normal person. Scanning quickly across, he found that there were many different sizes and ranged comprehensively from pajamas to jackets, clearly with careful consideration and preparation for different guests.

The only unfortunate thing was that they were all men's clothing.

Xia Ling frowned as she found this strange. Boss Li is handsome, rich, and a Casanova. His playboy inclination could be seen in his attempt to tempt the woman. . . How could someone like him not prepare a woman's clothes in the living room?

He suspected that he had entered the wrong room and turned around to look for Big Boss Li. He asked, "Boss, do you have a guest room in women's clothing?"

Li Lei was cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. Under the dimly-lit yellow lights, he looked dashing and his tanned fingers glittered under the lights according to his movements covered by the white foam bubbles from the dishwashing liquid. Hearing her question, he turned to look at her and laughed, "Women clothes? I completely forgot to prepare for it. I don't usually invite female guests here. Wait a minute, I will ask someone to send some clothes. More . "

He hurriedly said, "No, it's okay. I can wear men's clothes too." He is well aware of his current status – an insignificant trainee at the bottom of the food chain of the company – and the big boss has gracefully saved him. He had already enjoyed the free food and lodging, he couldn't possibly ask for more.

However, Li Lei said, "Just wait."

Unquestionable orders.

He cleaned his hands on a white sheet of cloth, took out his phone and rang a number. "Su Tang, go buy some women's clothes and bring them. Yes, I'm at my place in Cheng Nan Apartments. It's for a 17-year-old girl, and she needs a bathrobe, pajamas, a jacket. Size?" He gave Xia Ling a chance once and told the woman on the other end of the phone. It was an accurate estimate of his height, weight, and measurements.

Xia Ling was silent. He had underestimated the extent of Casanova's tendencies from Big Boss Li. There was no way he could accurately estimate a girl's size just by looking unless he had a lot of experience doing so.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Without waiting for Li Lei to open the door, that person entered of his own accord. Clearly, he was someone Le Lei trusted and had the keys to the house.

Xia Ling looked up and saw a graceful beautiful girl with long hair reaching her waist, who looked like fine seaweed glittering under the warm light of a crystal lamp. She wore a long silk embroidered silk dress with a frilled scarf covering her shoulders. He had a silver bracelet on his wrist and carried many luxurious-looking shopping bags, leaving a trace of scent behind him as he walked.

He stopped in front of Li Lei and greeted him. "Young master . "

Li Lei asked, "Have you managed to buy them all?"

The girl's voice was pleasant as she replied, "Yes, I have everything. They're here." He handed over all the shopping bags that must have been quite expensive.

Li Lei took it from him and, in turn, handed it to Xia Ling, "Here, take your clothes."

The bags are a little heavy and have the spiciness that new luxury items tend to have. Xia Ling was familiar with these items in her past life and thus did not feel pampered accepting it. He politely said, "Thank you."

Li Lei replied lazily, "Don't mention that. It is my fault for not considering and forgetting to prepare women's clothes. If you still lack anything, let me know, or directly tell Su Tang directly. He'll make sure to get it for you. "

Xia Ling pointed out that nothing was lacking and turned to Su Tang to thank him.

Su Tang was polite and only spoke respectfully to the Young Master whom he knew after entering the room. He did not even glance at the guests at home for fear that it might make him feel uncomfortable. He simply raised his eyes to look at Xia Ling after hearing her thanks, smiling at Xia Ling politely.

This graceful and graceful girl doesn't seem to like her. . . When Xia Ling started guessing how she managed to offend him, Li Lei ordered. "Alright, Su Tang, you can go back now."

Su Tang did not leave immediately. He said to Li Lei, "Young Master, you said yesterday that you want to eat a decoction of beef bones boiled with tomatoes. I've prepared the ingredients in the kitchen this morning, am I going to prepare dinner for you now?" As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Ling and said, "I can prepare more for this miss here." Her cooking ability was incredible and not inferior to her Young Master, most girls could not match.

Su Tang had already decided to show off his skills.

However, Li Lei said, "Robus of beef bones boiled with tomatoes? Are you referring to the tomatoes that are in the fridge? I've used it."

He glared at Xia Ling as he spoke. Xia Ling rubbed her nose in embarrassment. All right, he'll admit that he's dumped all the tomatoes. But all he did was peel them a little unevenly, he didn't have to throw everything in the trash.

“We just had dinner,” Li Lei told Su Tang. "You can continue your other business and there's no need to be here."

Now it was Su Tang's turn to be stunned. Since when did her Young Master cook together with another woman ?! Although her Young Master was skilled in the kitchen, she was lazy and did not touch the stove for several years. Dinner was usually prepared by Su Tang. Why did he make an exception for this stranger?

Especially . . .

He could not help but give Xia Ling one more time, his gaze landing on the shopping bag in his hand. Young Master may be a playboy and dating one after another. However, he never allowed women to live in this apartment. What's the deal today that he let this little girl stay here?

As he pondered, the coldness of Su Tang's gaze became clearer.

Xia Ling's mind was still fixed on the wasted tomatoes and did not find Su Tang's hostility.

Even if Su Tang was truly unhappy, he could only display his elegance in front of Li Lei. He lowered his head as he calmed down, saying calmly as he bowed lightly to Li Lei, "Then, I'll leave."

He backed out of the apartment as he spoke.

Li Lei slightly narrowed his eyes as he watched Su Tang leave. Turning to Xia Ling who was still in a daze, she couldn't help but say, "That's what I call a woman."

"What?" Xia Ling looked at him, puzzled.

Li Lei expressed his unhappiness. "You can't even cook. What kind of woman are you?"

Xia Ling did not know how to respond.

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes towards her. Xia Ling clenched her teeth in frustration as she returned to the guest room. He then locked himself in the bathroom to take a shower.

As a warm mist gushed out from the shower, he felt himself slowly relaxing. There were too many things happening today, especially the shocking encounter with Pei Ziheng, making him feel physically and mentally exhausted. After taking a bath, she took out the gentle bathrobe from the clothes Su Tang had brought for her. He turned into it and fell into a large and delicate quilt of fur. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

His consciousness became blurred and he found himself surrounded by a thick fog around him, with no end in sight.

She was completely naked and, somehow, had returned to that gigantic cage. In the mist, he saw a magnificent white fence around him and he could not open it no matter how hard he tried. . .

Lowering his head, his ankles were shackled with pure gold chains. . .
