Chapter 496: Send Him Back


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Xia Ling turned around to look at her. Why was this Su Tang always finding fault with her?


“Well then, is this your home?” She asked Su Tang.


Su Tang did not expect her to ask a question like that and was slightly startled. She ingeniously changed the subject. “Mrs. Pei, right now we are talking about something related to you.”


“Who wants to talk to you about something related to me?” Xia Ling’s voice was soft, but she did not beat about the bush. “Who are you to me?”


Su Tang could only cry after meeting such a compet.i.tor. She did not even care about maintaining the subtle elegance of a woman or the self-consciousness between girls. Shouldn’t girls be more tactful and less direct? What was with her candidness? If you are so direct, how will the other person react?


Have you considered the other party’s feelings?


Su Tang buried her resentment in her heart, and her chest tightened.


She had been elegant for a lifetime and was used to playing word games. If Xia Ling were mincing her words, she would definitely not be her opponent. Unexpectedly, she was simply rude.


Su Tang gritted her teeth and hated this girl who was out of the norm. Forcefully, she replied, “I’m the special a.s.sistant of Skyart Entertainment. As someone related to a compet.i.tor of our company, of course, I have to care if you’re trying to enter our headquarters.”


If Li Lei were not there, what she said would be righteous enough.


Unfortunately, Li Lei was there.


Before Xia Ling said anything, Li Lei was already frowning. “Su Tang, did I let you follow me to care about these trivial matters?” It was obvious that Big Boss Li was siding with Xia Ling.


However, Xia Ling was unhappy. “You don’t need to say anything. Let me speak.”


“I’m helping you!” Big boss Li felt wronged.


Xia Ling glared at him. “I don’t need your help. Haven’t you heard that men shouldn’t interrupt when women are arguing?”


Li Lei was speechless. Could this be considered flattering a person the wrong way? He almost forgot that his Xiao Ling was argumentative and had to personally finish her arguments. However, he did not know that Xia Ling was really not in the mood to argue today. Just now when Li Lei was not around, she turned the other cheek because she did not want to argue with Su Tang.


There was a reason why she did that.


She did not want to see him and his subordinate get into a conflict in front of everyone and degrade himself. He was of high status and did not have to stoop so low to argue with Su Tang. It was enough that she was handling the situation.


Xia Ling stared at Su Tang with a pair of bright eyes. “Exactly, you’re only a special a.s.sistant. This isn’t your home as well. You are at best a butler of Li Lei’s family business. As a butler, what right to you have to give orders to your master?”


“What sort of master are you?” Su Tang gritted her teeth and said faintly. The word “master” was as painful as internal bleeding for her. This woman was already married. Why was she still holding on to her family’s young master so tightly? She was also claiming to be a master?


Unexpectedly, Xia Ling only said, “I never said that I was the master. Li Lei is the master, right? If he wants to bring someone in—like me—no matter who it is, it’s not your position to stop him, right? Besides, you’re part of Skyart, do you have the habit of tyrannically abusing your power?”


Her tone was heavy when she said the last sentence. In front of Li Lei’s face, Su Tang lowered her head. “How is that possible?”


“This is not something you are able to control.” Xia Ling’s lips curved into a smile and delightedly glanced at her. She held Li Lei’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”


Li Lei looked at her lovingly as he saw that she was as satisfied as a sly fox and her mood was better. “Let’s go.” He walked with her like a general who returned from the war in victory, past the crowd and into the elevator.


Su Tang was left behind, fuming.


They reached the office.


“Why did you hire her back as a special a.s.sistant?” Xia Ling complained as she laid on the comfortable sofa.


Li Lei poured her a gla.s.s of water and answered with low and magnetic voice, “Are you tired? Drink some water. A while ago, I was busy defeating Imperial and lacked manpower, so I hired her back.” Furthermore, without her by his side, Old Master Li was not at ease and kept saying that he needed someone who knew him well.


Old Master Li was old and did not want to see him getting worried over him.


Xia Ling took the gla.s.s of water. Although he was away for a year, he still knew what she liked to drink. There were two slices of lemon, and honey was added. It was a perfect drink. Satisfied, she drank a mouthful and closed her eyes to relish the taste like a cat that was comfortably basking under the sun.


Li Lei looked at her gently.


Xia Ling indulged for a moment before continuing to complain. “I don’t like her.” It was a complaint, but she said it in a spoiled manner.


Li Lei smiled indulgently. “Ok, you don’t like her. I’ll transfer her away tomorrow.”


Xia Ling widened her eyes to look at him. “Really?”


“Cross my heart.” He half-knelt beside the sofa and looked at her.


“You better keep your promise.” Xia Ling reached out to mess his short hair. It was a comfortable feeling like what she remembered. She really missed it a lot, so she messed his hair more.


“You’re bullying me as soon as you’re back.” Li Lei felt wronged again.


“I will bully you.” After Xia Ling was done messing up his hair, she went to pinch his cheeks. “So what if I bully you? I’ve been bullied for a year. Shouldn’t I be allowed to collect some interest?”


His original smile vanished.


“Xiao Ling.” He said in a dark tone.


“Hm?”


He reached out and placed her cold hands in his palms. “This year, when you… were beside that man. How was life? Why did you become so thin?”


Her expression also turned gloomy.


After a long silence, she tried to understate what happened as much as possible. “Well, it’s not as bad you think it is. He let me eat good food and wear good clothes. It’s just that… when I was pregnant, I was in some pain when I was giving birth to a child and during the recovery period.”


This was the first time he heard her mention the child.


“I saw it in the news.” His voice was a bit dry because she had a child with another man, and it felt like a piece of his heart had been carved out. “He’s called… Shaohui, right?” He did not mention his surname and only said, “What a good name.”


A gentle smile appeared on Xia Ling’s lips. “He’s a good boy.”


Suddenly, tears flowed down her cheeks.


“Xiao Ling, what’s wrong?” Li Lei was alarmed. “Is it because you thought of your child? Did Pei Ziheng let you go but not allow you to leave with your child?”


He held her in his arms and comforted him in a flurry.


At the start, she only cried in silence. Gradually, she started to bawl.


Li Lei became more nervous. “Be good, don’t cry… If you really miss your child…” He paused for a long time before finally saying, “Let’s pick him up. I will look for Pei Ziheng to negotiate and make him release him, ok? Don’t worry. I will take care of the baby with you and treat him like he’s my own son.”
