Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 40 This milk is for pets
Xia Ling screamed and woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweat.

With trembling hands, she turned on all the lights, curled up at the corner of the bed, and hugged herself tightly.She didn't dare to close her eyes, and as soon as she closed her eyes, Pei Ziheng's face appeared in her mind. He appeared like a god, waving a whip to beat her, and forcibly possessing her. Also, when he was in the hospital earlier, he looked at her. Her sinister eyes...

——Xiao Ling, my beautiful butterfly, everything about you is mine.

——Li Lei, if you can protect him for a while, you may not be able to protect her forever.

In a trance, the deep and hoarse voice echoed in my ears again, like the whisper of an abyssal demon, lingering.

She staggered out of bed, knocked over the water glass on the coffee table, fumbled to turn on the record player in the corner of the room, and she didn't know what song was playing, and the melodious melody spread.She had no time to think, and forced herself to sing along with the melody, desperately focusing on the music and lyrics, staying away from the scary scenes and memories in her dreams, not feeling, not remembering...

Consciousness was muddled, scenes of terrifying clips and lyrics flashed alternately, out of control.

The door was opened.

It was Li Lei, who heard her screams and the music of the record player broke in, and saw her curled up into a ball.

"Ye Xingling, what's wrong with you?" He bent down and raised her pale face.

She murmured fragmented lyrics, and looked at him with empty eyes, as if looking at the distance of nothingness. Fear was reflected in her crystal eyes, as bewildered and helpless as a wounded cub.

Looking at her so fragile, Li Lei frowned, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

"Ye Xingling, you really think I'm a coolie." He muttered to himself, and hugged her horizontally. Her weight was very light, her body trembling slightly curled up in his arms, leaning against him instinctively, sucking his chest a hint of warmth.

Li Lei carried her to the sofa in the living room, and gently stroked her back with his hands, soothing her gently.

He had just finished bathing, wearing a silk bathrobe, his warm skin pressed against her cold body, as if he wanted to convey vitality and courage to her.After an unknown amount of time, she only felt that the fragmented and terrifying scenes in the dream had finally faded away, and her sanity gradually returned, and she found that she was being embraced by him in an extremely ambiguous position, and his heartbeat was heard steadily, as if there was a moment. A strange soothing power made her unconsciously calm down.

"Having a nightmare?" He asked softly.

She nodded, then shook her head, looking at him warily.

Looking at her vigilant animal-like expression, he was a little amused, "It's not shameful to have nightmares, what about you?" Seeing that she was still on guard and her back was slightly tense, he couldn't help but shook his head and let her go.

Xia Ling looked at him with some doubts as he got up and left. After a while, she took out a blanket from nowhere and covered her body.The soft touch fell on the skin, which was very comfortable. Her tense back slowly relaxed, and she let out a long breath.

Li Lei left again.

The kitchen lights came on, and then there was the sound of the refrigerator door opening and closing, and the stove igniting.

He came back with a cup of hot milk and handed it to her: "It will make you feel better after drinking it."

She blinked, she didn't expect him to be so considerate, she was a little flattered - you know, for a big boss like him, it's easy to give a woman a few luxuries, but it's rare to cook and heat milk by himself.

But she doesn't like drinking milk, she shook her head and said weakly, "No."

He raised his eyebrows: "Don't drink?"

Before the words were finished, a leopard slowly walked out from the shadows in the deep part of the living room, covered in magnificent fur with rose patterns, walking gracefully and lazily, and came to the side of the sofa like a king ruled the world.

Xia Ling felt that the hair was going to explode, the distance was too close, she could even hear the breathing of the beast.

"Er Mao, it's not for you." Li Lei casually rubbed Er Mao's head.

The leopard looked at the milk in his hand eagerly, whimpered softly, as if he felt aggrieved.

Li Lei stuffed the milk into Xia Ling's hand: "You drink it, I'll prepare it for Er Mao. If you don't drink it..." He smiled slightly, showing his snow-white teeth, "Just feed Er Mao the milk yourself. "

Xia Ling looked at the milk in her hand, then at Ermao, and said weakly, "I'll drink it."

Li Lei smiled satisfied, and beckoned Er Mao to leave.

The kitchen light was on again, Xia Ling was drinking milk in small sips, and heard him talking while feeding Er Mao: "Er Mao, okay, okay, you are seven years old and still acting like a baby, isn't it just stealing a little milk from you?" ..."

What, steal?
Xia Ling looked at the milk in her hand and was at a loss.

Not long after, Li Lei came back to her alone, and was very satisfied when he saw that she had finished drinking the milk.So Dafa comforted her kindly and said: "Don't be afraid, Ermao won't stay in the living room after supper, it has its own special room."

but……

Xia Ling asked cautiously: "Did you steal your milk?"

Li Lei was taken aback and laughed. "Isn't it stolen?" he said, "I never drink this kind of thing. All the milk in the house is reserved for Ermao. It's for his own use."

Xia Ling was speechless for a moment. The taste of this milk was very special. If she remembered correctly, it was a very good brand from abroad. In her previous life, her younger sister Xia Yu was seriously ill and drank it for a while.This kind of milk has to be reserved in advance, and there is a limited amount. Every year, the quota is overwhelmed by people... How many people are vying for something that they can't buy with money, and he actually uses it to feed pets? !
"What are you thinking?" he asked her.

"... rich, self-willed." She said.

He laughed again, looking very happy, couldn't help teasing her: "If you follow me, you can still be rich and willful."

Xia Ling gave him an angry look: "No one can force me to do something I don't want to."

"Don't be so nervous, little beauty," Li Lei smiled playfully, "When did I say I was going to force you? Am I such a pervert? I will wait... One day, you will be willing. "He has always been a very patient hunter, especially in front of his favorite prey, and he doesn't mind playing a harmless game of chase.

Xia Ling deeply doubted the credibility of his words. She was no longer the naive and credulous person in her previous life, and knew that all promises were powerless in the face of the disparity in power and status.

"However," he took the time to shake his fingers, "I have to remind you, you reject me once, and I save you once, so you owe me twice in total. It's only three things. Next time, if you encounter any trouble, you can Don't expect me to help you unconditionally."

She heard his implication, if she asks for help next time, she can only trade with her body.

"There won't be that day." She said coldly.

He laughed and looked at the fragile and proud girl in front of him: "Really? Let's wait and see."
