Chapter 1269 - Sudden Arrival of Zhao Yixuan
Chapter 1269: Sudden Arrival of Zhao Yixuan
Xia Yingluo looked at herself in the mirror in a daze. The bright color on her lips that the man had left as a declaration was so ostentatious and yet so… beautifully moving. She felt like she had really gone crazy. Jin Ling’er was still chatting at her ears. “Yingluo, did Wei Lingnan tell you where he bought the lipstick from? I want to buy it too!”
“Do you like it? I’ll give it to you,” Xia Yingluo said weakly.
Jin Ling’er shook her head. “A nobleman doesn’t take what belongs to others. That was clearly given to you by Wei Lingnan. This color suits you so much, you should keep it and use it well.”
Xia Yingluo looked down. “I don’t need his things.” Then, she said, “Give me a napkin.”
Jin Ling’er handed a napkin to her without knowing why. Xia Yingluo slowly removed the lipstick from her lips clean, then she crunched the napkin up and threw it into the little dustbin in the car.
Jin Ling’er looked at her. “Yingluo, why do you hate Wei Lingnan so much?”
Her lips were a little warm from her rubbing. She thought for a while before saying, “We are impossible.” It wasn’t because of his fiancee, but because another person was standing between them—Ah Luo. The Ah Luo from the Skatana Planet that Wei Lingnan loved. He didn’t love her, the human Xia Yingluo. So what if she fell in love with him? She would have just fallen into the enemy’s hands one-sidedly. She had seen the pain of many girls who were in a one-sided crush and it was too desolate. She would never allow herself to land in such a sore spot. She reached out to softly rubbed her lips. The feathery feeling she had felt back in the alley replayed itself in her mind.
The car returned to the training camp.
Xia Yingluo resumed her usual lifestyle. She went to her classes and practiced dancing, and her usual life was no different. And regarding her identity as the Xia Family’s noble lady, she didn’t hide it nor publicize it deliberately either. But the training camp’s level was still far from that of the high society. The news didn’t spread and for a moment, nobody found out about her identity.
That day, Xia Yingluo went to practice dance as usual.
There were only a few people in the practice room. Jiang Bilian, Zhu Zhu and the others were also there. Now, these people didn’t care to provoke her anymore. Even though they didn’t know her identity, they knew she was protected by the Li family and didn’t dare to reveal their annoyance even at her domineering attitude. They stood far away from her and occupied a corner of the dance room, practicing by themselves.
Suddenly, the room to the dance practice room was pushed open.
An immaculately dressed and refined man was standing at the door. He surveyed his surroundings and then swaggered over to Xia Yingluo.
Many trainees stopped practicing at his confident footsteps and looked at him. Some bolder trainees even greeted him. “Mr. Zhao, hello.”
It was Zhao Yixuan.
He was Imperial Entertainment’s famous manager and was very popular amongst the trainees. Almost all the trainees wanted to be guided by him during their debut and become an artiste under him. They rarely got to see him, so how could they not try to curry favor with him?
But Zhao Yixuan’s expression wasn’t good. He ignored the people around and walked to Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo was still minding her own business and practicing her dance. Her stance was beautiful and captivated people. What was even more eye-grabbing was her arrogance. Nobody else was in her eyes, and it was as if Zhao Yixuan didn’t even exist. But Zhao Yixuan continued to stand quietly in front of her, speechless and motionless. His expression even had a hint of fear and trepidation and he didn’t dare to disturb her dance.
All the other trainees exchanged glances. What was going on? In their eyes, the formidable big manager Zhao was being so careful around this girl. Didn’t they already break up? And it was this big manager Zhao who first broke up with her, so what was going on now?
In the crowd, Jiang Bilian frowned slightly. She felt like after Xia Yingluo had disappeared and returned, she had become more mysterious, as if something was different about her. She turned around seamlessly and said to Zhu Zhu, “What’s happening?”
Zhu Zhu loved to gossip and was usually well-informed, but this time, she was also in the dark. “I don’t know what’s happening. It can’t be that Zhao Yixuan realized Xia Yingluo is his true love and he’s here to get back together with her?”
Jiang Bilian said disdainfully, “How could it be? Xia Yingluo’s private life is so messy, how could Zhao Yixuan possibly fall for her?”
She just finished talking when Xia Yingluo stopped dancing. She grabbed a clean white towel and wiped away the beads of sweat on her forehead. Then, she put the towel down and walked outside without so much as a glance at Zhao Yixuan.
“Yingluo!” Zhao Yixuan immediately called after her.
Xia Yingluo only seemed to realize his existence now. “Why are you here?” she said in a very annoyed tone.
The trainees around them sucked in a deep breath. How was she talking to the most famous big manager in Imperial? Did she know that he could crush her with his little finger? Or was it that after she managed to seduce Li Rui, nobody else entered her eyes and she didn’t even care about Imperial’s big manager? Although Li Rui was indeed rich and powerful, he was a womanizer. He only returned to China for a few days and there were already countless of news about his womanizing. Nobody even believed that he could be good to a girl for a long time, and under this circumstance, wasn’t Xia Yingluo too naive to think that she could be savage now that she had Li Rui?
A hint of joy sparked in Jiang Bilian’s eyes at her misfortune, and she anticipated Zhao Yixuan scolding her so that she could vent her anger. However, what shocked everyone, including Jiang Bilian, was that instead of scolding Jiang Bilian, Zhao Yixuan lowered his tone and said, “Yingluo, I’m here to see you. I know you’re angry at me, but it was all a big misunderstanding. Stop throwing a tantrum, have you been well?”
The other trainees all sucked in a breath of cold air. What was this big manager Zhao doing? Why has his attitude towards Xia Yingluo had a hundred-eighty degree turn? In their minds, even if it was putting a shattered mirror together, it should be Xia Yingluo imploring him rather than the opposite, right?
But not only was Zhao Yixuan imploring her, but he was also doing it in public. He didn’t care about the public’s eyes and was focused only on Xia Yingluo. “Yingluo, I know you still love me. Let’s just let bygones be bygones. Now that I’m back, I’m still your boyfriend.”
Xia Yingluo almost laughed out loud. She already knew that Zhao Yixuan was shameless, but she didn’t expect him to be this shameless. What did he mean by she still loved him? Even if she was blind, she would never fall for this bastard again! “Zhao Yixuan, you think too highly of yourself,” she said coldly to Zhao Yixuan. “I find it troublesome to even give a piece of trash like you one glance, get lost as far as you can!”
