Jin Yifei grabbed her wrist and took another long look before reluctantly letting her go. Curious, he asked, “Pei Ziheng gave it to you?”
Xia Ling carefully covered the bracelet with the fringed hem of her silk shawl and did not answer.
Jin Yifei shrugged. “I’m just asking, stingy. I’m sure he gave it to you. Others can’t afford it. Besides, you’re with him now, and you won’t wear anything that someone else gave you. He’s really generous. You two haven’t even gotten married yet, but he’s already willing to spend so much money on you.”
The way Xia Ling suddenly publicly announced her pregnancy enraged Pei Ziheng. However, this did not prevent him from mitigating the situation. Imperial Entertainment held a large-scale media representatives, announced that they would get a marriage certificate on the seventh day of the seventh month and that they would have a wedding after she had recovered after childbirth.
He had acknowledged her status of future Mrs. Pei.
Although many people in the Pei family objected to it, they did not dare to say anything carelessly in fear of Pei Ziheng. Thus, the news of her wedding spread like wildfire.
However, Xia Ling was unhappy and did not respond. She only lowered her head and continued drinking her alcohol.
Jin Yifei also kept quiet for a while.
However, after a moment, he could not control himself and asked, “Well, what about Big Boss Li? Were you ditched after your break up?”
Xia Ling still continued to ignore him and took another glass of alcohol from a waiter. The colorful cocktail dazzled like stars and was as aesthetically pleasing as dream-like bubbles. As she drank it, a burning sensation spread from her stomach all the way to her limbs. It felt spicy and bitter.
Jin Yifei snatched the glass from her hand. “Hey, you can’t drink anymore! You’re pregnant.”
A little tipsy, she looked at him sweetly. “Since when did you know how to take care of people. Why, do you have a pregnant woman at home?”
“No way!” Jin Yifei quickly stamped his foot. “I’m not even married yet. Don’t destroy my reputation!” With that, he worriedly scanned his surroundings, afraid that some beautiful girl had overhead their conversation.
Xia Ling snickered, and her mood improved. “Do you think you still have a good reputation after flirting with so many beautiful girls, golden director?”
“You... you... How could you say that?” Jin Yifei angrily glared at her in shock. He could not tolerate it anymore and smiled. “Ok, ok. However, no matter how uncouth I am, I have never dared to make a girl pregnant before... No, I’m not talking about you and Pei Ziheng. In fact, with this in mind, I kind of admire Pei Ziheng. He could rule out all of his difficulties that come with his identity to marry you. That’s true love!”
When the topic was changed back, she declined to comment again and smiled bitterly.
Jin Yifei noticed her expression. “Are you unhappy?”
She lifted her hand, wanting to drink her cocktail, but she realized that the glass was already no longer in her hands. “Waiter...” She called for a waiter.
Jin Yifei quickly took away the empty glass in her hands, handed it back to the waiter and said, “Give us a cup of warm water.”
The waiter went away to get warm water for them as instructed.
Jin Yifei said, “Xiao Ling, you can’t drink anymore. Do you want your baby to become a little alcoholic in the future?”
She was humored, so she stopped mentioning about drinking.
When the warm water was served, Jin Yifei passed it to her. “Sober up.” He also added, “How could Pei Ziheng let you roam around on your own? What happens if you run into trouble? In my opinion, if you were pregnant with Big Boss Li’s child instead, he would definitely take care of you well and would never allow you to catch a cold here.”
Xia Ling’s face turned slightly pale. Jin Yifei’s thoughtless words stabbed at her heart.
She missed Li Lei so much. Sadly, she could never go back.
Jin Yifei looked at her. “It can’t be that you... still have Big Boss Li in your heart, right?”
“How’s that possible?” She said reluctantly.
Jin Yifei sighed in disappointment. He said in a low voice, “Big Boss Li treated you so well. Originally, I thought that you two would create a miracle and break the laws of the entertainment industry and last forever.”
Last forever? What a distant phrase.
“Jin Yifei, you’re too naive.” She whispered.
Jin Yifei looked at her deeply. “Naive? It sounds like you don’t believe in happily ever afters. Why are you with Pei Ziheng now then? You’re about to get married. Don’t you want to grow old with him?”
Xia Ling did not answer. She turned away and looked at the calm sea surface in the middle of the quiet night. The light breeze gently brushed against her long hair, and specks of starlight were reflected on the sea surface, creating a picturesque view.
Jin Yifei was a little distracted. After many years of debauchery, he had seen countless beautiful women. Many of them were much more beautiful than the girl in front of him, but at this moment, he felt that all of the other girls were not as mesmerizing as her. That inexplicably fresh feeling made her very... special. This was something she had in her bones. Her elegance, gentleness, and even her sadness were so beautiful.
“You’re obviously a blessed person.” Jin Yifei shook is head. As he was a master of women, he understood that finding a beautiful girl was easy, but finding a girl who really shined from the inside out was almost impossible. A girl like this had to experience many ups and downs but was still able to hold the purest beauty in her heart. Any pretense was removed after years of braving storms and looked exactly like she did when they first met.
Only a girl like this was truly blessed.
As for those who were glamorous, exquisite, or attractive in their own way... So what if their beauty was able to overthrow cities and ruin states? There were so many beautiful girls with unfortunate lives that sacrificed themselves in their youth in order to gain fame and fortune. In the end, they looked bitter, disorderly, and fatigued before reaching the age of thirty.
Jin Yifei looked at Xia Ling and sighed. “The person who is able to marry you is also blessed.”
Xia Ling slightly shook her head.
Blessed? Among her, Li Lei and Pei Ziheng, who was truly blessed?
Jin Yifei was completely unaware of her thoughts and only said, “You see, your future is so bright. You’re also cherished and loved by the two most powerful men—Pei Ziheng and Big Boss Li. Furthermore, you’re almost about to marry into an eminent family and become a rich wife. Do you know how many girls dream of this? Why are you still not satisfied? Why can’t you be a little happier and live well?”
He truly did not understand her. After making a long speech, his mouth was somewhat dry.
Why?
Xia Ling also did not know. After drinking two cocktails, she felt slightly tipsy. Feeling the sea breeze, she thought hard about it again. Finally, she spat out three words. “You don’t understand.”
“I don’t understand?” Jin Yifei was about to jump up in annoyance. “You’re the one who doesn’t understand! Young lady, what do you know? The most important thing about life is being happy. Hmph!” Recently, he had watched too many tv dramas. “The most important thing in life is to enjoy the pleasures of life while you can. Why do you have to make yourself so miserable? Come, I will take you to see the world.”
