Chapter 683: Time for a Change in Season

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Feelings were just this delicate.

The more you wanted to hate someone, the more you couldn’t hate them. The more you wanted to forget someone, the more you couldn’t forget them.

A piece of hazelnut cake. An invitation to move out. These two things caused many cracks to form on Xia Ling’s cold heart. She was no longer hostile towards Li Lei and did not stop him from looking for various excuses to look for her. As for him, the excuse he used the most was to teach Shaohui how to cook.

Slowly, the relationship between the two eased a lot.

Shaohui was also happy to see the improvement.

Every time Li Lei was not around, Shaohui would persuade Xia Ling to watch idol dramas. It seemed that this child was recently addicted to soap operas. While he watched them, he would cry and say, “Sister, look at that couple. They’re so pitiful because that bad woman broke them up...” Or, “That child is so pitiful. He’s so young but he has no father...”

Xia Ling lowered his head to look at him.

The child cried very hard. “That uncle is also very pitiful. After being misunderstood by his sister for so long, he still sacrificed so much for her...”

Xia Ling stroked his head and said, “Boys shouldn’t be so sentimental.”

However, Shaohui cried harder. As he cried, he lamented, “Shaohui also doesn’t have a father. Shaohui really wants a father...” After that, he paused as if he suddenly realized something and looked at her carefully. “Sister, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be saying these things...”

Looking at the child’s careful behavior, Xia Ling was heartbroken.

It was true. Which child did not wish to have a father?

However, how could she give her child a father? Li Lei and her... still had a large barrier. The ending song of the soap opera started. She looked a little troubled and quickly switched to the news channel.

The Tv station was currently reporting news relevant to this. “According to reliable sources, Chairman Li Lei of Skyart Entertainment recently separated from Su Tang whom he had a child with... A few years ago, there was a media report that stated that they were going to get married, but Li Lei recently addressed the rumor and said that both of them never got to the point of marriage.”

Xia Ling tightened her grip over the remote control.

Shaohui also quietened down and watched the news with her.

Li Lei’s familiar face appeared in the news. He was blocked by reporters at an unknown place and said without hesitation, “Yes, I’ve never married Su Tang. I’m single, and so is Su Tang. In the past, we were only together because it was convenient to take care of Li Rui. Now that Li Rui is older, she voluntarily suggested living separately from me...”

He spoke eloquently and protected Su Tang’s reputation. He never said that he had abandoned that woman.

She did not know if he had used any means to put pressure on the media, but in general, the media’s coverage of this news was quite positive. “Two adults sought for balance between their child and themselves. They made the logical choice to co-habit and separate.” All headlines had similarly warm tones.

Xia Ling relaxed. Finally, he had made it public.

Gleeful, she went to the kitchen to grab an ice cream to eat. Shaohui was also very happy. After the news, he continued to pester her to watch soap operas with him. This time, he cried even more emotionally. “Children without fathers are like weeds... Sister, can you look for a dad for me? This way, there will be someone to look after both of us...”

Xia Ling was both mad and amused. This time, she vaguely acknowledged him.

She was in a good mood and condition. The next day, she was glowing and dressed up for work.

Lin Yunan went to the office to look for her. He said, “Xiao Ling, there is a parent-child advertisement job which wants you and Shaohui to be in the photoshoot. What do you think?” As he spoke, he handed the plan to her.

She glanced at it. It was an advertisement for a newly opened nature reverse which focused on environmental protection, culture and family bonding. It advocated the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature and was very appropriate for her and Shaohui.

“I will go back and ask Shaohui.” She said. She received many advertisement jobs, but this was the first time an advertisement requested for Shaohui. She did not know if the child was willing. But since he liked animals so much, he likely would not refuse.

Sure enough, after Shaohui heard about this, he was very happy and immediately agreed.

He also asked Xia Ling, “Sister, can we ask Uncle Li to come along? Er Mao is very majestic. If he’s in the advertisement, it will definitely be awesome.”

Xia Ling knocked his small head. “Forget about it.”

Invite Li Lei and Er Mao?

The advertiser would go bankrupt just by paying the advertising fee. Not to mention...

She was slightly downcast. Although he had separated from Su Tang, what was there between them? She was still not ready to start accepting him again.

However, Shaohui still told Li Lei about this.

Now, he frequently asked Li Lei for cooking lessons and called him often. When they were chatting, he unhesitantly reported the latest news about his sister to Li Lei. After hearing it, Li Lei laughed. “Although I can’t be with you for the shoot, I can prepare lunch boxes for you. This way, you two won’t have to eat those awful boxed lunches.”

“That’s great!” Shaohui was very happy. Although he was a good cook now, he was not as good as Li Lei’s flawless cooking, and he loved eating Li Lei’s dishes the most.

Li Lei cooked many of Xia Ling’s favorite dishes and stored them in a lunch box.

After thinking about it, he made another small one which contained many of Shaohui’s favorite dishes. Shaohui had the same preferences as him and he very easily cooked the dishes.

On the other hand, Xia Ling was clueless.

Recently, she was busy with jobs and did not have much time to chat with Shaohui.

The location of the shoot was a picturesque forest with a crystal clear stream. The advertisement was shot very smoothly. In the fairytale-like forest, Shaohui wore pure white angelic clothes. He knelt down to pick a flower and gently placed it on Xia Ling’s head. The background music was the sound of flowing water, a beautiful and melodious sound...

During the intermission, the staff told them to eat.

Shaohui said, “No need. We’ve brought our own food.” He pulled Xia Ling to their huge van and took out two ultra-luxurious lunchboxes from the van.

Xia Ling was startled. “Since when did we bring food?”

Shaohui blinked. “Uncle Li prepared them. He was afraid that you wouldn’t eat well outside and specially prepared delicious food.” As he spoke, he happily took her to a large tree and started to open the lunchboxes.

Seeing him so happy, Xia Ling couldn’t bear reject him and followed him.

When she opened the lunchboxes, she smelled a familiar scent. Sure enough, it was Li Lei’s cooking. The lunchboxes were extremely nutritious. She could tell that he had spent a lot of effort on them. She quietly ate as her mind wandered off. That man cared so much about her, but was there really no other lover by his side?

Originally, Su Tang could have taken care of him well.

However, for her, he separated from Su Tang.

At once, Xia Ling felt a little guilty. “After this advertisement shoot is over, let’s go to...” She hesitated.

“What?” Shaohui’s mouth was stuffed with rice. He lifted his head and looked at her in confusion.

Xia Ling smiled and finally said, “Let’s go to the mall. I’ll buy a few clothes for you and... buy a few clothes for Uncle Li. The weather is getting cold and the season is about to change.”
