Xia Ling was taken aback and spun around.

She saw that Li Lei was wearing a robe and his muscular chest was slightly revealed. He was holding a spatula in his hand, be the way he held it looked like he was holding a scepter. In the morning light, he smiled and faintly said, “After last night, you have to be responsible for me.”

Her face turned redder and she glanced subtly at the maid.

Why was this man such a loud talker? The servant was still there!

The elderly maid closed her mouth slightly and silently smiled. How good it was to be young. They could even engage in outrageous activities like roleplaying as master and slave. They were as sweet as honey. Knowing that it was a delicate situation, she said, “Miss Ye and Mr. Li, I will go to the backyard to water the plants. Please carry on with your conversation.” After that, she left.

Li Lei walked up and hugged Xia Ling.

“Did you sleep well?” He asked.

Once he mentioned it, she realized that her body was aching and even her bones felt like they were about to break. She glared at him angrily. “Why don’t you try it for yourself?”

Without good intentions, he smiled. “Sure, we can try it again tonight.”

Only then did she realize that she said something wrong and hit him in her anger. However, as she did not use enough strength, he barely felt anything.

Li Lei said rather lovingly, “After breakfast, I remember that you have to work today?”

When she opened her schedule and read it, she was thoroughly unwell. Today, she had to go to the studio to film a music video—a very physically taxing activity. Considering her body’s current situation, it was hard to stand straight, not to mention changing costumes and moving around with props... Xia Ling felt that her entire world turned grey.

“It’s all your fault!” She was very unhappy and couldn’t even eat her breakfast. “Changling Studio’s schedule is always very tight. If we don’t film this today, I don’t know when we will be able to get the venue again.” She lightly bit her cherry red lips until there was some blood. “I have no choice but to go today.”

Li Lei was very satisfied with the results of last night. He wanted to drain all of her energy so that she would not run away with another man. However, he only thought it to himself silently. If he said that out, Xia Ling would definitely fall out with him. He coughed and tried to appease her. “That’s simple. I’ll get the driver to send us there. I’ll accompany you and massage you on the way.”

Xia Ling thought about it and felt that this was the only way, so she nodded dejectedly.

Big Boss was elated. He could be close and touch Xiao Ling again. Truth be told, her skin felt really nice to touch, and he was impatient for night time to come again.

He attentively served Xia Ling breakfast. After that, the two of them got on the car.

The backseat of the modified off-road car was very spacious. Xia Ling softly laid on the backseat and Big Boss touched her using the excuse of massaging her. However, it was really quite comfortable...

Hmm...

Xia Ling fell into the enemy’s hands.

In this half-asleep state, she reached the filming studio. Big Boss helped her get off the car.

Today, they were shooting a music video in cooperation with Feng Kun. She was acquainted with everyone, including the producers and directors. On the way, they greeted Xia Ling and nodded at Li Lei. They all heard about yesterday’s sensational news. It turned out that Xia Ling’s son who was born many years ago was Li Lei’s. It was very difficult for the family of three to reunite.

Some people congratulated them.

Even the director Jin Yifei came over to visit. Once he came in, he shouted, “Sister-in-law, congratulations! You’re finally officially with Brother Li. Where is my nephew? Quickly let me see him.”

Xia Ling laughed. “Who is your sister-in-law?”

Jin Yifei cheekily said, “Li Lei is my brother, so of course you’re my sister-in-law. Why didn’t you bring your son over to the studio to play? Quickly give us the wedding candies. After announcing such huge news, you should give us some candies.”

Xia Ling laughed. Jin Yifei was really skillful at this. No matter the occasion, he could always make things lively. At the venue, many people started cheering with him. “Give us the candy, Sister Xia Ling!”

She was now a Diva. Although she was young, even people who were of higher positions had to call her “sister.”

She smiled, took out a nameless credit card from her bag, and threw it to the small clerk nearby. “Go and buy some candies.”

The small clerk acknowledged and quickly left.

The assistant directed her to the dressing room. After her makeup was done, she changed into her costume for the shoot and found out that the small clerk was not back yet. “Why is he so slow? Quickly look for someone to chase him.” She said.

Just as she spoke, the curtains that were temporarily set up were torn apart. A tall figure walked over.

The whole scene fell silent.

She looked up and saw Pei Ziheng against the light. He was wearing a suit and had a bag of candies in his hand.

Beside him, the clerk looked like he was about to cry and apologized. “Sister Xia Ling, I didn’t mean to do this...” Pei Ziheng was too overbearing and snatched his candies away without warning.

Xia Ling put down the makeup bag in her hand.

Li Lei stood up from the resting chair and stood in front of her protectively.

“Get lost.” Pei Ziheng was as cold as the depths of hell. His gaze was fixed on Xia Ling’s body.

Li Lei sneered. “Pei Ziheng, did you wander to the wrong place?”

Only then did Pei Ziheng divert his gaze to him. He lifted the bag of candies and dropped it on the floor. Immediately, the colorful candies spilled out. “Are you very happy about your son’s identity being revealed?” His low voice made people shudder.

Only then did everyone realize that when Xia Ling revealed the child’s identity, she also revealed that “Pei Shaohui” was not Pei Ziheng’s biological son. To a man, this was an enormous insult, and even ordinary men would go crazy in this situation, let alone Pei Ziheng.

Li Lei refused to give in. “At the start, you used a despicable way to steal Xiao Ling from me. You’re very happy about that too, right? Pei Ziheng, don’t forget. This child was never yours, to begin with.”

The crowd paid close attention and understood what Big Boss Li meant. There was more to the story? They all looked curiously as the intense situation unfolded. Jin Yifei, especially, wished that something violent would happen.

Unfortunately, Pei Ziheng did not answer.

His eyes were like an abyss as he looked at Xia Ling. “That year, you begged me to keep your child and now you’re treating me like this?” She did not know how much pressure he withstood from his family because of her. He did not care about any of that. Now, he only cared about her betrayal.

In the eyes of the public, Xia Ling did not retreat. “Pei Ziheng, I gave you a chance.” She did not say anything else. If it weren’t for the Blissful Paradise incident, why would things turn so ugly?

Initially, this matter could be solved using another way.
