A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return Chapter 582 - How Should She Walk The Red Carpet This Time

Xia Ling was a superstar for two lives and knew how to carry herself in front of the cameras. Her every move had the aura of a Diva. Seeing her in action tended to make people forget that she wasn’t the prettiest in the industry. The charm that she exuded and the electrifying gaze that she gave made people hold their breaths and bask in her presence.

Anywhere that she went was her showground.

“Ye Xingling! I love you!”

“Ye Xingling! I love you!”

Her fans started to shout loudly in unison.

She kept a smile on her face and naturally turned to address fans in all directions. As her gaze swept across the crowds, everyone felt like she was addressing them directly.

A new round of screams rang out like a tsunami.

“I brought the kids here to see Ye Xingling live.” There weren’t only fans and reporters present, but also training camp mentors. The mentor that commented continued, “Her stage presence is the best out of all the female stars in recent years. Letting the kids see how she carries herself live is more effective than teaching this a hundred times in cla.s.s.”

“Exactly.” The other mentor added. “If these kids can just learn a fraction of what Ye Xingling has, I’ll be satisfied.”

“Look over there. Tan Ying has arrived as well.”

Tan Ying was standing amidst the crowd a distance away with the boys and girls from the Skyart training camp. As he watched Xia Ling come down the red carpet, he was also lecturing the trainees standing around him.

“Wasn’t General Manager Tan appointed to become Boss Li’s special a.s.sistant?” Gossip tended to travel fast in this circle. “Why does he still have to bring these kids here personally?”

“Don’t you know? Today is Ye Xingling’s first concert, Boss Li would definitely come to attend! Tan Ying has two roles today: one, to bring the kids around, and two, to address any concerns that his Boss has.”

“Oh…” Everyone around reacted in realization.

Someone else piped up. “So is Ye Xingling and Boss Li dating now?” The “wife selection” ceremony that was held recently was not public news, and few outside the wealthy circles knew about it. They all merely thought that it was a charity dinner.

“They should be dating, right?” Another person responded in an uncertain tone.

“Who knows… it’s really messy in this circle anyway. It’s normal to see them get together and break up quickly.”

“If I can get together with a stud like Boss Li, I wouldn’t care even if I get dumped in a few months!” Someone joked. “Didn’t you see that Ye Xingling’s jewelry has all become rose diamonds?”

If Xia Ling were to hear their discussions, she would have cried from frustration. Those rose diamonds weren’t given to her by Li Lei. She had bought them when she went out shopping with her brother.

Boohoohoo, why didn’t anyone believe that she was beautiful, fair and rich even without Li Lei?

Under the spotlight, Xia Ling switched up her poses for the cameras, allowing the reporters to pick and choose the best angles. Reporters loved it when artistes were so cooperative like her, as they could snap good photos even without trying too hard, making their work much easier.

Their favorable feelings towards Xia Ling rose a notch immediately.

With her photos taken, she started to walk quicker down the red carpet. She recalled the pain she felt in her legs after having to walk down such a long stretch and was mildly put out for having to suffer through an even longer distance this time.

She tried to cheer herself up and, suddenly, saw a carriage slowly coming down the road in the distance.

That carriage was being pulled along by four handsome snow-white stallions. They all looked like pure-breeds, with s.h.i.+ny black eyes and well-proportioned, muscular limbs. The mane on the horses’ backs was long and silky, and they looked elegant and arrogant. The carriage that they were pulling was decorated excessively with white roses and tulips, as well as dozens of gla.s.s bottles filled with fireflies. It looked as if it had come straight out of a fairytale.

The carriage stopped in front of Xia Ling.

The driver, decked in a clean, white uniform, walked down from the driver’s seat and gave a deep bow. His clear voice was transmitted to everyone in the area through a mini microphone that was clipped on. “The beautiful and respectful Miss Ye Xingling, would you honor me by taking this carriage that was prepared just for you?”

The cheers all around permeated the night sky.

Oh my G.o.d, it was a real carriage! Such beautiful horses! They were alive!

For normal people, seeing such a fine-looking horse up close was a first. The only access they had to horses typically was the horse riding clubs’ half-hour experiential ride in the park. The only horses they would see or touch were mixed-blood and less premium horses that were old, sickly, weak or dirty.

To see horses this tall and fancy was a first and likely only chance for many of them.

“Quick, look it up! What horses are these?” One of the excited fans started to take photos of the horses and post the picture online, waiting for more well-informed netizens to respond.

A reporter was standing next to her.

The reporter had received the memos from the organizing team, and seeing how excited this fan girl was, he couldn’t resist telling her. “They are pure-bred Arabian horses that have been raised together with ceremonial horses since they were young. They are a rare sight.”

“Wow, amazing!” Even though she had no idea what Arabian horses were, the mere sound of the word “pure-bred” made the young fan even more excited. Their Xiao Ling was outstanding, and even the horses pulling her carriage had to be the best.

“Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, we love you!” The concert hadn’t started yet, and many of her fans had already shouted till they were hoa.r.s.e.

A sweet smile spread on Xia Ling’s face. So Li Lei had considered that it would be painful for her to have to walk the full kilometer and had prepared this beautiful carriage for her.

He remembered that she loved horses.

Her mind subconsciously went to Valiant Song, who was still being reared in the Nanshan Riding Club. She hadn’t seen her in two years. Since her relations.h.i.+p with Pei Ziheng was now more harmonious, perhaps she would discuss buying Valiant Song back from him after the concert.

This thought flashed across her mind.

She elegantly and confidently boarded the carriage.

She held onto the side of the carriage, the white roses and tulips enveloping her, and the fireflies dancing in the bottles around her. She looked like a princess out of the scene in a dream, so beautiful that she looked unreal.

In the VIP suite, Old Master Li and his team had already settled in and were watching the live stream on the big screen.

Seeing Xia Ling’s smile in the screen, Su Tang felt a sharp pain in her heart. That woman was given the chance to s.h.i.+ne in such a grand and luxurious setting under the care of the perfect and handsome Li Lei, receiving all the flowers and cheers. This was all just because she was an artiste.

And she, Su Tang, was a mere a.s.sistant.

She knew that the Young Master would never prepare such an event for her.

Xia Ling had a concert. Nangong Qingya had a charity dinner.

And she, Su Tang, what did she have?

She was not satisfied!
