Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 400 The furthest distance

With trembling hands, Li Lei hugged her back into his arms little by little.

"Xiaoling..." His voice softened, almost pleading, "Come with me, please? Please, I can't live without you..." His hoarseness was unbearable.

Xia Ling's eye sockets began to become moist again, and the tears that had just stopped almost gushed out again, but she still restrained herself and shook her head. "Li Lei, I can't leave, I can't..." If she leaves, what if the oath is really fulfilled?She is a person who has lived two lifetimes and believes in God's will. How can she take risks with the person she loves the most?It's better to stay away, far away, and watch him live in peace.

"I know, you left with someone to save me. Now that I'm fine and standing in front of you, why don't you come back with me?!" Li Lei held her shoulders with both hands, desperate and sad , "The emperor can afford the liquidated damages, so can I, Xiaoling, come back, come back."

It was the first time Xia Ling heard him speak in such a tone, and it tore her heart to pieces. It turned out that seeing him sad made her feel so sad too.

But, how can promise him?

"Li Lei, it's not about money." Xia Ling hardened her heart, determined to cut off his thoughts, and said with difficulty, "I... I followed Pei Ziheng voluntarily, there is no coercion, we are... ...I couldn't help it, so I went to bed."

"Nonsense!" he growled hoarsely, like a wounded animal.

Xia Ling held back the pain and mustered up the courage to look him in the eyes: "It's true, Li Lei."

She spoke slowly, with burning pain tearing her heart and lungs between her breaths, "Actually, I have always liked him, and I liked him before you. But I don't want to be his lover, I want an equal and clean relationship, so I I used to run away from him and be with you—you have always been his substitute."

These words conceal many facts.

She couldn't tell him that it was true that she liked Pei Ziheng once, but now, the love has been exhausted for a long time. She was afraid of Pei Ziheng, afraid of returning to that gorgeous but cruel cage.

She really wanted an equal and clean love, but that love was given by the man in front of her.Beside Li Lei, she was so relaxed and at ease, like bathing in the warm sunshine.She has fallen in love with him, and wants to grow old with him forever, but the parting comes too early...

There is no chance to say to him, I love you.

"A substitute...?" Li Lei let go of her unknowingly, and took a few steps back, with a sad and unbelievable expression, "Xiao Ling, so, you've always looked at me like this?"

"Yes." She made up her mind and said with difficulty, "The days of unrequited love are too lonely, so I couldn't help but throw myself into your arms. But that day on the cliff, I figured it out—if I die, I would never have the chance to be with Ziheng again, and I swore to myself that if I survived, I would go to Ziheng's side."

She deliberately pronounced the word "Ziheng" in a very intimate tone.

In her previous life, she had read these two words countless times, with infinite nostalgia and admiration.Now that I read it again, I am familiar with it, and the soft tone is full of love and lingering love. If it is not for the person who loves each other, I will not be able to read this feeling.

Li Lei's expression changed again and again.

Xia Ling only felt that her heart was broken to the point of numbness, she just emptied all her true emotions, leaving only a shell, pretending that she was an actor, and recited lines in front of the camera: "So, after I survived, I will be with Ziheng .As for saving you, it's just a matter of little effort. Li Lei, please make it clear that I didn't stay by his side to save you, so stop being sentimental."

She finished speaking in one breath, not daring to pause, for fear that if she stopped, she would not be able to speak any more.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" He stared at her with red eyes, "What you said is all false, right? How could you fall in love with such a demon? Do you know how ruthless and perverted he is, Ye Xingling You're crazy! He doesn't know how to treat women as human beings! You are willing to be his plaything, and when he gets tired of playing, throw it away like garbage?! Let me tell you, I checked him, and he..."

"Enough!" Xia Ling interrupted him fiercely, his words were like knives, stabbing her heart every sentence, "Li Lei, what do you know?! You don't need to tell me what kind of person Ziheng is! You I don't understand at all! That's between me and him! I'm happy to be with him! You don't care!"

Half of her screaming was pretending, and the other half was really feeling the pain.The relationship with Pei Ziheng was like a wound that kept bleeding and festering, no matter who touched it lightly, it would be unbearable.

Li Lei laughed back in anger, "Ye Xingling, I love you so much, I risked my life to save you, but in the end you told me that you want to stay with other men?! Ye Xingling, you are too ruthless!"

"You don't care!" She didn't want to end up with such a hurtful quarrel at the last moment of breaking up, but his sarcasm was like a sharp knife, and she couldn't help but fight back, "Li Lei, no matter how perverted Pei Ziheng is... , and a thousand times ten thousand times better than you! I just like him! No, I love him, did you hear me, I love him! I love him!"

Li Lei was also injured and furious, "Ye Xingling, I didn't know that you have a tendency to be abused before. If you are good at it, I can satisfy you!" A storm was brewing in his eyes, and the words he said became more vicious.

She turned her head unbearably, and for a moment, she forced herself to raise her head again, "Don't worry about it! If he humiliates me again, I am willing! Li Lei, please respect yourself, and don't bother me again in the future!"

After speaking, she turned around abruptly and rushed out of the corridor.

Like fleeing, she ran down the stairs, and the echoes amplified infinitely behind her. It was so lively, as if laughing loudly at her selfishness and cowardice.

All the way out of the office building, outdoors, is the pale golden light of the morning light, and the rising sun in the sky is magnificent and brilliant.

On the edge of the green belt, two security guards on duty were chatting and laughing. Under an old banyan tree, a middle-aged man opened a steaming steamed bun in a plastic bag and handed it to his wife who was cleaning the street.And here, Xia Ling stood alone, no matter what kind of heart-wrenching pain she had just experienced, this world knew nothing about it, and only cared about her own happiness.

She stumbled and lost her mind.

I don't know how long I walked, maybe two or three steps, maybe ten steps, and suddenly, I saw a car parked under the lush green shade on the opposite side of the road. The dignified and majestic black was Pei Ziheng's Rolls Royce.

Xia Ling stopped, didn't go over, just stared blankly.

Pei Ziheng has several cars like this, and sometimes he will send a driver to pick her up.This car was parked here early in the morning, did Pei Ziheng tell her to stay up late and go home early after recording the song?
