Because she liked him, she couldn't allow others to say anything bad about him, so she had gotten into a fight for him.
But does he need to be standing so arrogantly and haughtily in front of her?
She was a goddess of the generation after all. Since birth, she had always lived under other's awed gazes. She'd always been the target of their pursuit. She had her own self-esteem and pride!
But he wasn't even looking straight at her; he didn't like her!
He was terrible.
The big bad man.
Xia Xiaofu's tears blurred her eyes. She quietly looked at the thin figure of the man. Suddenly, she remembered that she had said that he was "very fierce in bed." At that time, she was just talking hotheadedly. Now that she thought about it, her face grew hot.
She didn't even know what she was thinking then. She was not like herself for him.
The funniest thing was that he had done nothing.
He stood there dignified, while her clothes were in tatters.
There was no heating in the elevator. Xia Xiaofu was shivering cold. He was holding a suit jacket in his hand, but he didn't even lend her his jacket.
Achoo. Xia Xiaofu deliberately sneezed loudly.
However, the man beside did not respond. He did not look askance. He looked ahead as if a flower would bloom once the elevator doors open.
Xia Xiaofu pouted her pink lips behind his back.
Helplessly, she stretched out two dainty fingers and grabbed the corner of his suit weakly."Ou Luo Xi, can you lend me your jacket? I'm so cold."
Ou Luo Xi paused for a few seconds, then slowly turned his eyes to her, locking his gaze onto her delicate fair oval shaped face. Her beautiful curls were in a mess, a few strands of hair stuck to her tender neck and cheeks, giving her a different style. 𝘧re𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
"Ok." Ou Luo Xi replied and handed Xia Xiaofu his jacket.
A smile appeared on Xia Xiaofu's face quickly, she was actually an easily satisfied little girl.
"Thank you." She reached for it.
When the jacket was in the palm of her hand, her chest felt cold. Without her small hand holding up the torn material on her chest, the dress slid down quickly. She had worn a fairy dress today and only had a Nubra beneath.
Her delicate skin like fine lamb's fat was exposed in the cold air, and Xia Xiaofu shivered.
Forgetting to cover herself with her little hand, she looked up quickly and saw that the young man in front of her did not shy away from it and was staring at her beautiful full arc.
"..." Xia Xiaofu instantly forgot to react.
Her oval shaped face was red. Didn't he know how to avoid looking? She had been accidentally exposed. Didn't he know how to avert his gaze?
After god knows how long, Ou Luo Xi averted his gaze sideways calmly. There was not a trace of embarrassment or anomaly on his face, as if he wasn't the one who had just peeked.
Xia Xiaofu, "..." What does he mean?
He didn't have any reaction even after seeing her body?
Dammit!
Turning around, Xia Xiaofu looked at herself through the elevator mirror. The woman in the mirror was as beautiful as a rose. Her waist was thin and her butt perky. Her legs were fair and slender. Any man would be tempted if he were to see it.
Otherwise, the men would not have thought evil thoughts just by looking at her back just now.
Xia Xiaofu was angry, she turned her eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Hey, Ou Luo Xi, you just looked at my chest."
Xia Xiaofu wished she could bite her tongue after she had said that. She wanted to be more euphemistic, but her words were so straightforward.
"So what?" Ou Luo Xi replied, his voice tinged with the brightness of a teenager.
"I..."
Just then, the elevator dinged opened."If there's nothing else, then I'm out of here." Ou Luo Xi walked out.
Xia Xiaofu was so angry that she could vomit blood. How she wanted to run up to draw and ruin his beautiful face. Who asked him to be so arrogant!?
"Xiaofu." Xiao Li and several crew members also rushed over."Xiaofu, are you alright? When we went up just now, you were already gone."
"I'm all right." Xia Xiaofu clutched the jacket on her tightly. His scent remained on the jacket. It smelled so clean.
Xia Xiaofu rubbed her delicate face against the collar of the jacket and looked uncontrollably at the tall and handsome figure of Ou Luo Xi beside the door.
She blushed.
Out of the door, Ou Luo Xi was surrounded by his assistants and ushered into a luxury limo. Two colleagues were gossiping and whispering behind him.
"We heard someone quarreling in the dressing room when we passed by just now. I also heard the voice of the national goddess Xia Xiaofu. I don't know if I had heard incorrectly."
"Probably only Ou Luo Xi knows about this. He had stood by the door and listened for a minute before he drove us away. He had come down so late. Forget it, let's not gossip anymore. Be careful what comes out of our mouths."
...
Lu Shaoming had flown to the United States on business, and Ning Qing had gotten off the airplane.
When she entered the airport lobby, Xiao Zhou was there to pick her up. After handing Xiao Zhou the suitcase in her hand, they walked out together.
Xiao Zhou was still talking excitedly when she suddenly realized that Ning Qing had stopped walking.
Following Ning Qing's gaze, she saw that a very beautiful and eye-catching girl was walking towards them not far from the lobby.
The girl had shoulder length hair. The ends of her hair curled inwards, giving her the aura of a little woman, she wore a red, wide-collared, off shoulder blouse, revealing her fair and flat abdomen when she walked. Her delicate clavicle appeared at times. She had on a pair of black tights that wrapped around her long legs and augmented her exquisite figure.
The girl was taking off her sunglasses. Xiao Zhou's eyes shone, the girl had single-lidded eyes with a naturally winged eyeliner giving her an unspeakable sense of allure.
The girl was full of youth and romance.
This girl was so different from Ning Qing and Xia Xiaofu. Ning Qing's disposition was mostly gentle as water, her character like a lamb, while Xia Xiaofu was full of spirit and like a fairy. On the other hand, this girl was aloof and gorgeous, as if, if she wished, she could be hot as fire and burn away her youth heartily.
Each of the three girls had their own style.
The girl walked out of the door of the airport lobby and Ning Qing jogged after her.
"Ning Qing, wait for me." Xiao Zhou chased after her.
Outside, the girl was trying to flag down a taxi. Ning Qing walked up and smiled at her."Shuiling, you're back?"
Yin Shuiling looked sideways at Ning Qing. Her beautiful single-lidded eyes were emotionless, without a trace of surprise or shock. She replied, "Yes."
Ning Qing was at a loss."Shuiling, where do you want to go now that you're back? Get in my car and I'll take you there."
"There's no need."
Just then, a taxi stopped for her. Yin Shuiling placed her suitcase in the back compartment, got into the back seat, and the taxi drove away.
Ning Qing watched the taxi depart with disappointment and gloominess in her eyes. She knew that Shuiling had not forgiven her.
Nor was she entitled to extravagant forgiveness.
They had been such good sisters once, sisters who could share anything other than men. But three years ago, it had come to an end.
How could Ning Qing not be melancholy?
Xiao Zhou also looked at the taxi. She wondered, "Shuiling? Why is the name so familiar?" Xiao Zhou gasped as her eyes widened."Ning Qing, could she be Yin Shuiling? Yin's family's young mistress, well known in T City, spoiled by her father and brother from the moment she was born? The Yin Shuiling who led a princess-like life, and is arrogant and domineering."
Ning Qing did not speak, the young mistress of the Yin family? That was three years ago.
Three years ago, the Yin family had collapsed and died.
Only Yin Shuiling's brother Yin Muchen, who had no blood relationship with the Yin family, lived well. He was like the sun shining brightly in the sky.
Others had died and or were imprisoned, while Shuiling wandered around, away from home for three years.
Had she healed the double trauma of the mind and body?
...
Yin Shuiling put on her sunglasses when she got into the taxi. She looked out at the changing scenery.
A sentence hovered in her mind - What is in the future after the past and present?
Things were not as they are now.
Her mouth curled up with a hint of mockery.
The taxi driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked at the girl through the rearview mirror several times. The broad sunglasses covered half of her face. Only her lips that were soft and thin was exposed. There was a delicate, natural and healthy red flush in her lips.
Extremely eye-pleasing.
The taxi driver glanced at the girl's figure again. He liked to look at beautiful women most while driving daily and studied beautiful woman's figure most.
The girl's figure was nice and proportionate, she had a rare golden proportioned figure.
The taxi parked in front of a small condo, which was not high-end. It was very ordinary, but the environment was elegant, clean and tidy.
"Mister, how much is the fare?" Yin Shuiling took out her wallet.
"Oh, the fare is 50, " the driver answered with a laugh.
Yin Shuiling's small hand that was taking out money from her wallet stilled. She looked up, smiled and said slowly, "I went out once, and the fare doubled? Mister, have you made a mistake. What's the telephone number of your taxi company? I'll make a call to confirm it for you."
The driver's face grew hot. He had seen that the girl was young and had just returned from abroad. He had wanted to ask for a bit more money, but he hadn't expected to meet someone so clever.
"It's all right lady, the fare is 20 dollars." The driver corrected himself.
Yin Shuiling did not say anything else. She took the money out of her wallet and handed it to the driver. She took her suitcase and went into the condo.
Before the driver left, he sneered, "She's so beautiful but turns out to be broke!"
...
Yin Shuiling entered the 60-square meter condo, it was second-hand and she had rented it. There were one living room, one bedroom, and one kitchen. Although space was small, it was enough for her alone.
Putting the suitcase down, she rolled up her sweater sleeves and cleaned the apartment thoroughly three times.
She then opened her suitcase again. There were several outfits in it. There were also hand-drawn comic books. Finally, there was a Hello Kitty soft toy.
The corners of her mouth lifted in a smile, the corner of her eyes crinkling with a natural charm as she hung the soft toy on the wall of her bedside. She used her naturally red lips to kiss the soft toy's face. Her voice was innocent and charming."Kitty, thank you for accompanying me for 10 whole years. This shall be our little house for the time being. I don't have much money now. When the third season of my comic book gets published, I'll take you with me, and we'll move into a big house."
The soft toy couldn't speak. Yin Shuiling pinched the soft toy's face, then got up from the bed and went to the living room.
...
Ning Qing has enrolled in the Director Studies course at Communication University. She could work in a wide range of industries, such as broadcasting and hosting, and writing film manuscripts after graduating.
Ning Qing had thought it over carefully; actors and actresses rely on their youth and appearance. That was not a stable job.
Most importantly, she had considered that an actress who was always in the spotlight was not suitable for a man of Lu Shaoming's position, and the noble Lu family.
She wanted to retire behind the scenes and make a slow transition.
If in the future, through accumulating experience and training, she would be qualified to be a real director and tell a story through a film. That was her dream.
Ning Qing entered the Director Studies' third class. As the new best actress of the generation, her face was a label for her; a gold-lettered signboard.
Fortunately, the students did not go into a frenzy as the school principal and teaching directors had explicitly instructed them not to chase after stars during school hours.
After class, Ning Qing signed several autographs and snuck out the school's back door.
At this time, "Ning Qing." Two female students walked over, one of them opened her mouth and called Ning Qing.
Ning Qing looked back, it was Lin Xuemei, an old friend from her childhood.
"Xuemei, are you in this school, too?" Ning Qing was very happy that she had met her old friend in another place.
"Yes, Ning Qing, After I knew that you would be coming to our school, I was very happy. We haven't been in touch for three years. I thought you had forgotten me."
"How could I? I have always remembered you, " Ning Qing replied.
"That's great! Ning Qing, did you know that Shuiling is also in our school? She's an excellent exchange student. She's returned from her studies in Britain. She's a cartoonist now. She has published eight comic book series in the past three years. The current issue is going to be publishing its third season and has gained a great reputation on the Internet, " Lin Xuemei told Ning Qing.
Ning Qing was really happy for Yin Shuiling."Is that so? Then make plans with her. Let's have dinner together when she's free."
"Sure, " Lin Xuemei patted her chest and promised.
"Xuemei, I have something else to do, so I have to go." Ning Qing bid farewell.
"Ok."
Lin Xuemei was watching Ning Qing leave, when the girl beside her said excitedly, "Wow, Xuemei, I didn't expect you to know the two famous women in T city. Ning Qing is the top socialite in T city and is now the queen of movies. While Yin Shuiling is the little princess of T city, with a cold and arrogant nature. Any man's dream in T city is to one day be able to break her wings and possess her. She's a princess in name, but she's actually a little demon. But that's strange, weren't they good friends? Why do you have to ask Yin Shuiling to come out for dinner? Why doesn't Ning Qing ask her out herself?"
Lin Xuemei's face was somewhat grim. She sighed, "Oh, they had a falling out three years ago."
"How come? Why?"
"Why else? For a man. Haven't you heard of T City's Mu Yunfan?"
"Wow." The girl's eyes lit up as she covered her mouth covered in excitement."Mu Yunfan is the young master of the Mu family. The Mu family is a big household, having a hand in both illegal and legal matters. They have a high status. Mu Yunfan's peach blossom eyes are beautiful and devilish. When he was here, he was the dream lover of all the girls in T City.
"Mu Yunfan and Yin Shuiling have been engaged since their childhood. One was aloof and beautiful while the other was devilish. They were a legendary couple of T city."
