Chapter 296: Treat Him Better

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They finished dinner.

Xia Ling did the appropriate things at her own pace and was not mentally disturbed by the result at all.

Her positive state of mind made Lin Yunan very satisfied. “I thought you would be worried about the result.”

Xia Ling smiled. “I’ve already done all that I can. Whatever happens next is beyond my control. If I’m meant to get the position, I will, and if I am not... I can only say that it doesn’t really affect me.”

Lin Yunan stared at her for some time. He could not help but admit that she was right. She had already met the producer and demonstrated her ability. Whatever was to come would be discussed behind-the-scenes, which she was not skilled at handling, so it was entirely his responsibility. Whether she would be able to be on the show was now Lin Yunan’s responsibility. Thus, Xia Ling was unburdened.

However, Lin Yunan could not stand the fact that she could even use her connections with Li Lei to get the part.

Even Extraordinary Risks’ team would respect Li Lei.

However, from her expression, it was obvious that she did not intend to use that connection. Another way of putting it would be that she was not desperate enough to use that connection to secure a place in Extraordinary Risks.

Only then would she use her trump card.

Lin Yunan shook his head and did not know what this girl was thinking. However, in his heart, he admired her calmness and vision. Her goal was to become a Diva. Besides singing, many other factors would determine her success. Luckily, her talents seemed to be of superior quality.

Xia Ling was unaware of Lin Yunan’s evaluation of her.

She was troubled about Li Lei.

These few days, due to her “clean slate,” Li Lei started to avoid arousing suspicious and stopped sending her to places frequently.

Sometimes, after getting on the car after a long day of filming, she would feel very empty. The lunch boxes at the filming location were not good, and she started to miss his cooking.

Getting accustomed to something was very scary.

Even Luo Luo wailed after coming back home. “It can’t be. It was really hard for me to rush back home after filming outdoors for Boss Li’s cooking. Now you are telling me that he won’t be coming anymore?!” Luo Luo was about to go crazy. “His cooking is my only motivation to get through those awful lunch boxes at work!”

Xia Ling smiled bitterly and comforted her. “Tolerate it. Sooner or later, we will be used to our own food again.”

However, Luo Luo looked at her strangely.

“What’s up?”

“I’m talking about you.” Luo Luo shook her head. “Do you even care about Boss Li? He treats you so well obviously because he wants to spend his life with you even if his family is against it. Even I can see that he is definitely not playing around.” If he weren’t serious, sending someone to deliver flowers, clothes, jewelry, and property deeds were enough. Thoughtlessly spending money on her was enough. He did not have to put in so much effort into sending her three meals a day.

Luo Luo looked at Xia Ling seriously. “A good man like him is hard to come by, you have to grab hold of him quickly! Otherwise, if you aren’t careful, someone will steal him away! What do you mean by getting used to our own food? You better get used to eating with him for a lifetime!”

Xia Ling was speechless.

Alright, she had never thought about this question before.

Eating with him for a lifetime? That was a really long time... It was so long that...

She had no confidence.

“We’re two people from different worlds.” Her tone was rather low. She was too insignificant. So insignificant that it was insufficient to have an equal love with a powerful person. Thus, she left Skyart and strived to be independent. But in reality? She had no confidence. She did not even have the confidence to maintain their relationship.

Perhaps, one day, with a word from the Li family headquarters, their relationship would meet its dismal end.

“Don’t you think that he should be marrying someone of a family with the same social status as him such as...” Her chest was heavy. “Gu Lin?”

“Which Gu Lin?” Luo Luo questioned. “Oh, are you talking about the eldest daughter of the Gu family? Are you sure she is that close with Big Boss Li? I don’t see it.” Luo Luo was really a good sweet-talker and naturally was able to share the burdens her friends faced in love affairs. In the past, whether it was during Skyart Entertainment training or Imperial Entertainment training, she helped those in her dorm a lot. Now that she had met Xia Ling, she was literally an expert. “It is said that they were childhood friends. If anything were to happen between them, it should have happened long ago. Big Boss Li doesn’t like her. It is that simple!”

Luo Luo looked at Xia Ling and spoke with more conviction. “Trust me, Boss Li likes you, and you like him too.”

Do I like him?

Which is why I want to be with him forever and hold his warm hand without ever letting go?

However, forever was so distant that she could not see the end.

Suddenly, she was reminded of an old song and wished that they could age within a night and never separate.

She felt that the song conveyed her true feelings.

“Xiao Ling, you have to work harder.” Luo Luo frowned as she finished her simple dinner and felt that she should help Boss Li a little so that she could eat his delicious cooking again. “All along, I can only see Boss Li chasing after you and taking care of you. Do you know that it’s very hard on him? You should also give him some response, especially now...”

She paused. “Aren’t you going to take part in Extraordinary Risks risks with me? This sort of pairing activity can easily lead to scandals which will cause misunderstandings. Before it starts, you must give Big Boss Li some confidence.”

Startled, Xia Ling asked. “How did you know that I wanted to participate in this variety show?”

“The name list has been finalized.” Luo Luo explained. “What? You didn’t know? The females stars are me, you, and Zhou Yanxue. Oh yes, I haven’t congratulated you yet.” After that, she gave Xia Ling a big smile.

Usually, the casting stage was very confidential before it was finalized.

Even Lin Yunan only knew that the confirmed participants were Luo Luo and Zhou Yanxue, but he was not really sure who Xia Ling was competing with for the third spot. The team would usually not leak this news to prevent any changes and to protect the potential candidates. Otherwise, those who were rejected would feel embarrassed when meeting one another in the future.

Of course, if Lin Yunan wanted to find out and get more information, it was not completely impossible.

This would be like spying, and the difficulty was a bit higher.

Xia Ling also did not know if Lin Yunan had found out about it. Anyway, he did not mention anything to her. Thus, she did not even know that she was selected until Luo Luo told her in person.

“Are you sure there’s no mistake?” She was suspicious.

Luo Luo replied, “How can it be? Before I went home, my manager just got ahold of the confirmed name list and told me. Didn’t your manager tell you anything? How about you give him a call to confirm the news?”

After thinking about it, Xia Ling called Lin Yunan.
