Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 136 Can I Ask You to Dance
Xia Ling couldn't answer Li Lei's question.

Those secret and festering wounds were too deep and thick, even if he was her boyfriend, she couldn't reveal it to him.Xia Ling turned her head to the side, avoiding his probing eyes, and said softly, "Yes, I'm not feeling well."

When he saw it, he knew she was telling lies.

But he didn't dare to expose it. When he met Gu Lin just now, the way she turned around resolutely still lingered in his heart. He was very afraid that once he got to the bottom of it, the fragile relationship between them would not be able to last.How much does Xiao Ling like him?he does not know.All I know is that she seems to have a lot of secrets hidden in her heart, and those secrets should be related to Pei Ziheng. Every time she meets that man—including this time on Pei Ziheng's territory, something is wrong with her.

With a rival in love by his side, Li Lei didn't dare to hurt her even a single bit, and didn't dare to gamble on the slightest possibility of losing her.

So, he forced himself to smile, and said nonchalantly, "Uncomfortable? Then we'll go back."

Leave this reception, leave this place that made him feel vigilant and dangerous.

Xia Ling nodded.

When the two came out, they were in the back garden. At this time, they returned along the same road. When they returned to the reception hall, the release of "Butterfly in the Cage" had ended, and the well-dressed violin band played melodious and moving music again.

In the hall, men and women were in pairs, and many people hugged each other and danced on the dance floor.

Xia Ling followed Li Lei across the crowd, and a girl came towards her with long curly hair and a dress, with a bright peacock brooch pinned to her chest.It was Gu Lin. She gave Xia Ling a bad look, then turned her head and smiled sweetly at Li Lei: "Brother Lei, where did you go just now? I've been looking for you everywhere."

Before the song "Butterfly in a Cage" was released, Li Lei shook off Gu Lin's hand in order to chase Xia Ling. This made Gu Lin feel very sad, and she also believed that the relationship between this stinky woman in front of her and Brother Lei was unusual.Hmph, he's just another sugar daddy, how can he compete with a famous lady like her?Gu Lin was full of fighting spirit and vowed to drive Xia Ling away from Li Lei.

Her hand took Li Lei's arm again: "Brother Lei, can you dance with me?"

This time Li Lei learned his lesson, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong, he pulled his arm out of her hand: "Linlin, I'm sorry I can't dance with you anymore, Xiao Ling is feeling a little unwell, I want to take her home."

What?Li Lei's big boss actually wanted to send a smelly woman home with no status or background? !

Gu Lin was not happy: "Brother Lei, you can just ask a driver to take her home, why is it so troublesome? They don't care, you want to dance with them." Ray dodged away calmly.

Gu Lin was even more unhappy: "Brother Lei, why are you ignoring me!"

Xia Ling couldn't stand it anymore, this Gu Lin was a celebrity after all, wouldn't she feel ashamed to stalk a man like this?If it was the Pei family—she had seen Pei Ziheng deal with an undisciplined and nymphomaniac sister in social situations in her previous life. The whole clan in Li was silent, and the elder sister of that clan would not dare to commit the crime again from now on.

The same is from a noble family, how come the family style is so far apart?

Xia Ling's thoughts drifted a little far away, and when she came back to her senses, she felt something was wrong. Gu Lin didn't have a tutor, but it didn't mean that the Pei family had a good tutor. Otherwise, how could they have taught such a perverted Pei Ziheng?
Her heart throbbed a little, and she restrained herself from thinking about it.

With some impatience, she said to Li Lei: "Would you like to go?"

"Let's go." Li Lei said immediately.Now he is as obedient as a big pet dog, she will do whatever she wants, lest he will get into trouble with flowers and plants that shouldn't be messed with again and make her unhappy.

He cautiously stretched out his arm, motioning for Xia Ling to hold him.

Xia Ling had never held his hand before, she didn't expect him to do this, she was a little stunned for a moment.He looked at her with eyes as dark as a dark green forest, with some hope and flattery, as if to say, look, how obedient and obedient I am, just give me a little reward, okay?

Gu Lin didn't expect that her brother Lei would stretch out his hand to another woman, and his eyes would burst into flames.

Out of the corner of Xia Ling's eyes, she caught a glimpse of her gnashing her teeth. She was still hesitating whether to hold Li Lei, but she suddenly made up her mind.She stretched out her hand with a hint of a smile, and gently held Li Lei.

He also gave Gu Lin a provocative look.

Li Lei took a panoramic view of her little movements, and instead of getting angry, he cheered inwardly—his little Ling finally stopped being indifferent to him, and would fight back when his love rival appeared.

Li Lei was in a good mood, very good, and he was about to walk towards the main entrance with Xia Ling on his arm.

"Wait!" Gu Lin stopped them, her voice full of anger, "Brother Lei, you can't do this to me!"

"As I said before, Xiaoling's body is not feeling well." Li Lei took into account the friendship between the two families, he was very gentle, but also very firm, "Linlin, please make room for me."

"I want to invite you to dance!" Gu Lin still refused to let go, because she was emotional, she turned up the volume.

The eyes of some nearby guests were attracted, and they all looked this way.

"What's going on?" A man's voice said.

Xia Ling looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a dark black formal suit, whose face was somewhat similar to Gu Lin's.

"Uncle Gu." Li Lei had already called out.

Uncle Gu?Xia Ling guessed in her heart, could he be Gu Lin's father?

She really guessed it right, Gu Lin turned her head and saw the middle-aged man, suddenly gained confidence, glared at Xia Ling angrily, then pointed at Li Lei aggrievedly, and said to the middle-aged man: "Dad, Brother Lei won't dance with me!"

The guests around heard what she was saying, and they gathered more eyes here.

Even though they were all acquainted with each other by a group of upper-class people, they loved to join in the fun and watch gossip, but they were the same as ordinary people. At this time, many good-natured people took a few steps towards this side, trying to find out what happened at a close distance.

Father Gu's face was ugly.

According to social etiquette, if a girl invites a man to dance, the man cannot refuse, otherwise he will slap the girl in the face severely, and tell everyone clearly that he doesn't like her.

How could Father Gu watch his daughter suffer such a shame?
"Li Lei," he asked angrily, "Our two families are also considered family friends. Please explain clearly to me, what is going on? Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking of friendship!"

Li Lei also knew that things were a bit troublesome, but he didn't avoid it without fear: "Uncle Gu, I offended you. But Xiaoling is not feeling well, and I have to rush her home. I really can't accept Linlin's invitation to dance. Feel sorry."

If you offend the father and daughter of the Gu family, you will offend, so what?
It was better than offending Xiao Ling.

Father Gu only noticed the girl holding his arm after hearing what he said.Seeing the mocking and indifferent look on the girl's face, her standing posture was elegant and straight, how could she look uncomfortable in the slightest?Excuses are all excuses.

Gu's father became even more angry, and asked Xia Ling, "Who are you?"
