Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 177 Have You Ever Loved Someone?
The coffee shop was located in the city center, and when Xia Ling arrived, she found that Pei Ziheng had already arrived.

She recognized him at a glance. In the dim light, he sat quietly in a corner by the viewing window, with a pot of black tea in his hand. He didn't drink it, but looked out of the window slightly with his face sideways, showing a pensive expression.Outside the window, there are lush broad-leaved trees and decorative waterfalls, making him more gentle than usual. However, she knew that it was just an illusion given when the tiger was resting.

Xia Ling secretly took a deep breath and walked over.

"Ye Xingling," he saw her, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, changing the madness from last night, "I'm glad you can come."

But Xia Ling wasn't too happy, just sitting opposite him and being locked by his gaze made her feel numb and nervous.She made up her mind to make a quick decision and leave as soon as she got the watch.

He called the waiter and asked her, "What would you like to drink?"

She glanced at the menu handed over by the waiter, not in the mood to scrutinize it, and said casually: "Ling..." Just in the middle of speaking, she suddenly realized that she liked to drink lemonade very much in her previous life, and she was afraid that he would see the clue. In a panic, he hurriedly changed his words, "A cup of Mandheling coffee, thank you."

The waiter answered, and after a short while, coffee was brought up.

Pei Ziheng looked at her: "You are a singer, you should take good care of your voice. It's better to drink less coffee." His tone was calm, like an ordinary friend chatting casually.

Xia Ling really doesn't drink coffee much, the reason is, as he said, to protect her throat.She didn't touch almost all stimulating drinks, which was a habit she had developed around him many years ago.In a blink of an eye, such a long time has passed, and things have changed.She was in a trance, lowered her head, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.A bitter taste filled her mouth instantly, she put down the cup reflexively, took a deep breath, and wrinkled her whole face.

"Are you used to drinking?" He asked with a little inquiry.

How dare Xia Ling tell him that he never drinks Mandheling?She ordered this kind of coffee just because she liked it. This kind of coffee is Wei Shaoyin's true love. After getting along with Wei Shaoyin for a long time, when it comes to coffee, this is the first thing she thinks of.Normally, Wei Shaoyin's face wouldn't change when she drank it, so how did she know that she would suffer like this? !
She coped with Pei Ziheng's question: "I'm used to it, I just forgot to add sugar."

Pei Ziheng smiled slightly.

Xia Ling didn't dare to look at him, and lowered her head to look for the sugar bag. However, the moment her fingers were about to touch the sugar bag, someone snatched it away first.It's Pei Ziheng.

She looked up and looked at him in surprise.

With his eyes downcast, he tore open the sugar packet intently and poured it into the coffee for her.One pack was not enough, so I tore another pack and added seven or eight packs before I could barely stop. "Try it," he said, "does it taste right?"

Xia Ling picked up the cup and took a sip cautiously. It had a strong sweet aroma, which was exactly what she liked.

He squinted at her slightly, and chuckled lightly: "I don't know how you can drink such a sweet taste."

you?Xia Ling was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized who he was talking about, her, and her from her previous life.In her previous life, she was also afraid of suffering, and liked to drink sweet things. Occasionally, when she drank coffee, she would add a lot of sugar to it as if desperately.I remembered the drink stain on the sweater on his body when I saw him last night, it was that he didn't allow her to drink indiscriminately, and spilled the glass when he was grabbing sugar packets with him.

Now, they are sitting here alienated, polite like strangers, he will never allow her this or that, he even tore apart the sugar packets with his own hands, adding one packet after another to her satisfaction level of sweetness.

Xia Ling felt sore and sad in her heart.

He also asked the waiter to bring a cup of Mandheling coffee, adding seven or eight packets of sugar like her, and drinking it one sip at a time.The curling heat rose up, his eyes were hidden in the mist, quiet and deep, and he couldn't see clearly.

She remembered that he was very picky and extremely disliked sweets, what's more, the coffee in his hand was not at the normal sweetness level, according to the taste of ordinary people, it was probably already cloyingly sweet.What happened to him today?
Can't help but ask him: "Is it good to drink?"

He looked at the drink in the glass for a long time, and said in a low voice, "It's very bitter."

Xia Ling stopped talking, and there seemed to be an unresolvable sadness hidden in his expression, which made her heart feel sad too.She silently lowered her head, unwilling to feel that kind of sadness again, to divert her attention, she drank the coffee in her hand, it was obviously very sweet, but suddenly felt, indeed, very bitter.

Just like the bitter past.

"Ye Xingling," he called out, "Come to the Emperor, please?"

She was startled suddenly, and when she came back to reality, he was still the emperor's boss who was aloof and full of plans for her, while she was just an insignificant little entertainer with no roots or roots.

Xia Ling gathered her spirits up to 12 points: "I'm from Tianyi, Mr. Pei, I'm sorry."

"I prefer you to call me Pei Ziheng." He looked at her very gently.

"I don't think our relationship is that close." Xia Ling gently pushed away the coffee cup and leaned back.

"Do you know how many people want the privilege of calling me that?" He was nonchalant.

"That doesn't include me." Her tone became cold.That's right, there are so many people outside, they only dare to call him Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei, and even members of the Pei family have to respectfully call him patriarch, uncle, or ranking.There are very few people who dare to call him by name, except for her competitors, and she is the only one.

But now, she wished she could get as far away from him as possible.

Didn't he never call her "Xiao Ling" again?
Ye Xingling, what a strange and polite address.Suddenly, I realized that whether it was him, Feng Kun, or Chu Chen, these old acquaintances would never call her "Xiaoling" like Li Lei or Ah Wei. Perhaps, in their hearts, she would always be Not as good as Xia Ling.

But she and Xia Ling are clearly the same person.

Pei Ziheng, the one the emperor is reluctant to part with, is it she or an illusory phantom.

"Ye Xingling." It was still such an unfamiliar title, "As long as you are willing to come to the Emperor, Tianyi is not a problem. I will help you with all liquidated damages and related matters. All you need to do is just nod your head."

She looked at him: "Why?"

"I appreciate you," he said.

Xia Ling sneered lightly, lying.If Pei Ziheng really admired her, how could he send someone to kidnap her and be cruel and dumb without mercy? "Pei Ziheng," she became angry again, "No, you don't appreciate me, what you appreciate is just the phantom in your heart."

As soon as the words came out, she wished he could refute.

But he didn't.

He was sitting in the dark green leather sofa chair, just looking at her quietly with a thoughtful look.

Xia Ling's heart sank little by little.

"Pei Ziheng," she said, "You like..." It's not her.She couldn't say the last three words anyway.I feel very uncomfortable, almost crying, what is this?Do you eat your own vinegar?No, that's not right... Pei Ziheng, could it be that even Xia Ling is just a phantom, or else, why would he not be able to recognize her after she changed her appearance?

"What do you like..." Xia Ling asked with difficulty, word by word, "Pei Ziheng, did you like... who..."
