A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

The buttons on his polished and fine suit were somewhat tight, and he was slow in unbuttoning with one hand.

Xia Ling lied on the rosy red chaise couch and looked up at him while smiling. “I, I’ll help you.” She reached out her small hands to help him unbutton his suit. She tried a few times and couldn’t unbutton it, so she started tugging at it in an uncivilized manner.

Pei Ziheng was not in a hurry, so he held onto one of her hands and put it to his lips before kissing it.

“Do you like me?” His voice was low and husky.

“I like you.” She was still a little drunk and laughed foolishly.

“Do you want me?” he asked again.

This time she didn’t talk and looked at him for a long while instead. “Liar.” She reached out and tugged on his clothes until the suit button was pulled open, but she was still somewhat dissatisfied and used her hands and feet to push him. “You’re so heavy, it’s annoying.”

He pressed his entire body on her and looked at her intensely.

She pressed her hand against his chest and pushed for a while but failed to push him away, so she got angry instead. “You’re dead heavy, get up.”

He said nothing, only turned his body to the side and watched as she tossed and turned. Xia Ling was drunk and confused. This time, she pushed him aside and turned over to press him under her body. She smirked. “I’m not heavy, I’m going easy on you.”

He looked up at the girl on top of him and smiled slowly. “Help me undress.”

At the sound of his flirtatious nasal sound, the girl turned her head and really set about unfastening his shirt. She unfastened it twice and only loosened half of it, then she went to deal with his tie in a mess. She pulled off his iron-gray diagonal striped tie and lifted her small chin in an announcement. “I want to tie you.”

He chuckled and let her tie him up.

She really grabbed his two wrists and wrapped his tie around them like the way he had dealt with her before. She was so drunk she had no choice but to put in her utmost effort, but still only wrapped one of his hands after a long time. He looked on with interest before asking nicely, “Do you want me to help you?” The girl’s beautiful body was pressed against him, and Pei Ziheng knew he couldn’t control himself anymore. But unfortunately, the girl was still struggling with the tie slowly with her brows wrinkled.

Xia Ling struggled for a long time and kept thinking something was wrong, so she untied him and redid the knot. This time, she still tied only one hand. Pei Ziheng simply retracted one hand and leaned on it while smiling at her. She didn’t notice at all and held onto one of his remaining hand and continued to tie a butterfly knot around it. After half a day, she finally did a good job and announced with satisfaction. “You are my person! My… gift.”

“Gift?” he asked.

“Big liar!” She reached out and hit him, but it wasn’t painful. “Brother Chu Chen and Sister Yun Yan all sent me lots of gifts to celebrate my debut, but what about you! You didn’t give me anything! Boohoo.”

“Isn’t it enough to hold a celebration party for you?” he asked.

“A celebration feast isn’t a gift!” She was very wronged and hit him again. “Big bad guy!”

He chuckled and looked at her, then asked gently, “What do you want?”

Xia Ling stared at him blankly for a long time before suddenly reaching out her small hand to grab his shirt and tear it in two. With a ripping sound, the shirt buttons scattered onto the floor; she had actually torn his shirt open completely. “I want you!” She announced proudly and bowed down to kiss his lips. “You are my gift.”

His expression was dark and intense. Suddenly, he turned her over and pressed her down. They spent a night of lingering emotions.

Pain…

She hurt all over…

Xia Ling was completely blank when she woke, and she had a headache from her hangover. Her body ached painfully, and there was a soreness that made her toss about on the narrow couch in the lounge…

The memories of last night came into her mind.

She turned around and looked at the man sitting near the window, wearing a shirt and a pair of trousers, looking at her silently. Her naked body was draped in his suit jacket.

“Brother Pei…” she called weakly. “It’s so uncomfortable.”

“I told you not to drink so much yesterday.” He sat in the same place and said with warmth, “You drank so much and still squandered around, serves you right.”

Her face turned red at the thought of last night’s scene. “Annoying.”

“You’re getting more and more daring.” He laughed, his eyes sweeping over the iron-gray tie on the floor. “You even dared to tie me up. You would be lucky if you could get up and walk today.”

She reached out and covered her face. How could she be so unscrupulous when she was drunk?

“Are you satisfied with the gift?” He chuckled.

“You’re so annoying!” She still covered her face and said through her fingers, “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“It seems like you’re not satisfied?” He chuckled again and teased her. “I wanted to send you another one, but forget it.”

“Who wants you to send…” She originally wanted to say who would want to make love with him again, but she suddenly halted and seemed to realize something. She put down her hands and looked at him in surprise. “Brother Pei, you prepared a gift for me?”

It was not poking fun at her like last night, but a real gift!

He smiled. “Wear your clothes, I’ll take you somewhere.”

Her tiny dress last night was already wrinkled and in a mess, so he had already sent someone to bring clean clothes for her to change into. The guests in the clubhouse all left, leaving only the two of them. He held her hand and got into the car which ran smoothly all the way to a wealthy area in the prime location of the city.

“The newly opened villa…” She looked at the beautiful house in front of her.

The winding serene alley, the red wall in picturesque disorder, the Japanese roses and ivy planted fully near the wooden fence, bringing a wisp woody sweet scent when the breeze blew past. It was really beautiful here, like a fairy tale world.

Pei Ziheng took her to the front of the villa in the center and gave her a key.

“For me?” she asked. After a moment of surprise, she was somewhat unhappy. “You gave me another villa again, this is already the fifth one. Humph, Brother Pei, you suck, you don’t have any creativity at all.” In this era of soaring housing prices, she was very clear how expensive five villas were, but so what? She wanted to live with him, and it was impossible to move out of the Pei family’s villa, so all these villas were meaningless to her.

But this time, he said, “Didn’t you always disliked living in the old villa? Once this place is decorated, we’ll move over. It’s close to Imperial Entertainment and the environment is very good.”

Xia Ling was in disbelief. “Really?”

This was what she dreamt of, she didn’t expect it to be realized!

Looking at her surprised reaction, he smiled. Over the years, he had been acquiring greater power and had deepened his roots in the ancient and huge Imperial Entertainment. Before, he didn’t move out of the old house because he couldn’t make the decision. But now, he could help her attain a better living space.

In the future, it would get better and better.

He took her into the villa. “Look at the room structure, think about what kind of decoration you like. I’ll arrange for the designer and the construction team.”

She said eagerly, “I must decorate it well! This is our home!” She turned around and hugged him happily. “Brother Pei, thank you.”
