Qingxi's mother Luo Lin Che entered hand in hand with her stepfather Luo Zengluo.
Turning swiftly, Qingxi went to the food section to avoid the pair.
"Hey! Where are you going? We should go towards the stage, why are you going in the opposite direction?" Bai Rouyan said as she followed her hurriedly.
"Uhh..that, you can go. I think I should take a bite or something. I feel hungry." She said, leaving Bai Rouyan there.
It was true anyway. Whenever she would feel edgy or uncomfortable, her best mood stimulator was good food.
Going towards the food corner, she checked left and right noticing no one was here yet, and popped a chocolate candy in her mouth swiftly.
"I never pegged you, to be a good thief." Someone said from her behind.
Swallowing the chocolate hurriedly, she almost choked on her saliva before turning around.
"Who said I a
Seeing how director Li was already on the podium ready to speak, soon all the actors and actresses started gathering near the stage where the director had started to give the speech about his production."Hello! I Director Li, thank all of you for coming to this party, marking the starting of the movie, 'The legend of love'. As you all must've heard, this screenplay is taken and inspired by the book of a great author Enigmatic YQ. To be honest, it was very hard to have his agreement on the use of this plot." He laughed, pausing while looking at everyone."I just hope that everything turns out fine, and this movie becomes as hit as its storyline is." He said, and everyone started to clap and cheer for him."Now coming to the main part as in who will be performing the main roles in this important movie, the role of the to-be queen, a.k.a female lead will be performed by our talented actress Luo Xialing-" the director said,
"Hey? What was that all about? Is Director serious about not letting you act in the film anymore?" Bai Rouyan asked worriedly.When she had heard the Luo family talking earlier about wanting her to back off or they would remove her, she had thought they were merely warning and didn't even expect it to happen. Do they hate a member of their family soo much? But given how Qingxi was the stepdaughter, it wasn't strange either.She had heard many stories about how their stepdad and mother would make an ally with their real child to bully the stepchild. What she didn't believe was her biological mother turned a blind eye to this event. Weren't mothers suppose to favor their children and protect them?"Heh...I guess?" Qingxi shrugged her shoulders, not in the mood to talk to anyone. She just wanted to get away with this."Hey, Qingxi? I know we are not on good terms, and you don't consider me a
In Lu corporations on the 21st floor, Lu Jingzhe entered his office room after the gruesome meeting with a foreign investor.It took him exactly 5 hours 37 minutes to explain to the investor why this project was soo important for the development of their country and what are the benefits he will be receiving if he signs this deal with Lu corporations.The investor himself was stubborn about all the details. He wanted to bag maximum benefits from this deal.Sitting on his chair leisurely, he threw his coat on the couch before asking Secretary Han to leave him alone for some time."Don't let anybody enter the office. I will be resting for some time. I don't want any disturbance. Also, ask the finance department to schedule the meeting for tomorrow afternoon." He said, dismissing secretary Han from his sight.Closing his eyes while placing a wet handkerchief on his eyes, he tried to
"Enough Qingxi, you've already taught him a lesson. Let's go." Hong Qui said, holding her hands in his, to stop her from beating the shit out of the man who assaulted that lady.Seeing that Qingxi has stopped beating the person, he leaned her on his shoulder, so that he could take her away now."Hehehhe..daddy." Qingxi giggled, with her eyes closed.Before Hongqui could pull her away from the scene, Qingxi's other hand was caught by Lu Jingzhe, who stopped her from going. With a jerk and slight force from his hand, he pulled Qingxi into his arms, who bumped into his chest with an oomph sound."Who said you can take her away like that? Last time I checked, she had called me to come and pick her." Lu Jingzhe said in his dangerously low voice, not having any intention of letting go of her.His eyes swept through everyone who was standing there, to see if anybody wanted to rebuke his stateme
"Mmm let's go home, daddy," Qingxi said, nuzzling her face on Lu Jingzhe's shirt.Pursing his lips into a thin line, his hands tightened around her involuntarily.Looking at the girl hugging her from the side, he didn't know what he was feeling about the situation.This has been happening since the day she had entered his life. One moment he would be extremely angry, and another moment he would just smile in delight looking at her face.Like right now, he wanted to be angry because she got drunk and had called someone else to pick her up. But seeing her trying to hide her pain behind her fake happy facade, he just wanted to embrace her in a comforting manner.All of them soon reached their respective cars.Mumbling the directions vaguely, he placed Lu Jing inside the car before placing Qingxi. Glancing at everyone one last time in agreement that they had heard the address, he also went inside the car
"Daddy! I caught you!" A little girl shouted, looking at her father, who was hiding behind a tree as they played hide and seek."Ohio…my little girl is getting too much better at this. I never win." Her father said."Hehe..of course, I'll always win, daddy, because you always hide behind a tree. And you are so big, hehe, I always make out your silhouette from far." She said merrily."My intelligent daughter. Let's go and give you the chocolates I had promised you." Her father said before taking her inside a mansion.As soon as they entered the gates of the mansion, they felt a creepy vibe lurking around them. Something was wrong with this mansion. Soon, the mansion that was lively and decorated started to change in a deserted place with cobwebs hanging from the walls."I am scared, daddy." The little girl said."Shh.. Don't be scared, my princess. Let daddy take a quick look and check if something was wrong with the electricity connection." Her father said before going into an unknown
Qingxi unlocked her phone to call Hongqui and ask him about the events that took place last night.Before she could press the call button, her phone rang with an incoming call. It was from none other than Hongqui."Hello?" She said before sliding down inside the quilt again. She knew this would probably take a few minutes, and she wasn't ready to leave this oh so comfortable bed yet."Hello, Qingxi!! Are you okay!! How are you feeling now?!" Hongqui shouted from the other hand."I am not dead, you can speak slowly. Are you trying to tear my eardrums?" She said irritatingly."Ohh, sorry about that. I was just worried about you last night." He said in a much-low voice from before."Talking about last night. What did the hell happen? As far as I know, I have called you, right? Then how did I ended up in Lu mansion?" She asked."Last night. Don't tal
"Is there something I am missing here?" Lu Juan asked as he looked at his brother who was holding Qingxi's hand in his."Why are you pulling me? I can go by myself." Qingxi said for the umpteenth time."I know. I am just making sure that you don't fall because of the handover making you dizzy." Lu Jingzhe said as he pulled her chair and sat her gently before moving to his chair.As soon as Qingxi sat on the chair, a bowl of soup was placed in front of her, paired with some greasy pasta and lasagna.Qingxi quirked her eyebrows in question when the head chef said,"Our little master especially asked to make these for you. This soup and greasy food will help you in curing your hangover and the taste is also of your liking, spicy and greasy. Please have a taste and tell us if it's okay, madam."Qingxi turned towards Lu Jing, who was looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to
