A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return Chapter 291 Clearance

Someone else said, “Can’t they reconcile after a breakup? I think Boss Li is chasing her, and it’s not like the spreading news which claims that she was ditched because her plan to marry rich was exposed is true.”

This industry was always a mix of truth and falsehoods, and the reliability of gossip news was questionable.

Now, after personally seeing how eagerly attentive Li Lei was, many people felt that Big Boss Li was definitely chasing after Ye Xingling.

“Such a lucky girl.” Many people who were at the scene had been part of the entertainment industry for many years and all knew that with Li Lei’s status today, it was easy for him to send her flowers, villas, and rings, but for him to appear personally and deliver a lunchbox that he prepared for her was truly difficult.

“I think it will be interesting once Ye Xingling marries into a rich family.” A staff member commented as he ate.

“The chicken leg can’t stop your mouth.” Another staff member smiled. “I think it will be interesting too. She is such a good girl, if she doesn’t obtain perfect love, it will be a pity.”

These staff members were different from the ordinary public. They interacted with different types of celebrities every day, and the celebrities did not really cover up their temperaments. Some celebrities smiled very sweetly when they saw their fans, but oppressed the staff behind their backs. Other celebrities had their reputations ruined by the media representatives but were low-key and polite in person.

In their eyes, Xia Ling was the latter type.

She was very professional when shooting, and almost all scenes were completed in one shot. She also never threw a tantrum for no reason. Although she would not deliberately smile at the staff members to greet them or say that everyone worked hard, she simplified matters during filming by doing her own part well and allowed everyone to end work easily.

The staff members liked this sort of celebrity.

“I just met a reporter outside.” A staff member said as he ate. “He asked me why Boss Li was there since he had a clean break with Ye Xingling. I said that Boss Li treated Ye Xingling very well.”

“Yes.” Everyone nodded in response. “Why are the reporters always trying to damage Ye Xingling’s reputation? It is time that someone stood up for her. If any more reporters ask about this, we should say that they’re getting along well. Ye Xingling is a good person, not like those unscrupulous people who were ditched because they wanted to marry into a rich family.”

Everyone agreed.

This was necessary after developing a good opinion of her. Due to Xia Ling’s high professionalism and ability to complete her shoots in one shot while not causing trouble for others, she had won the hearts of the staff members there. As such, they were willing to protect her from the reporters.

A person’s heart was made of muscles, and respect was mutual.

Inside the trailer.

Xia Ling happily ate with Li Lei. Today, he brought over delicious beef brisket and stir-fried vegetables. They were cooked using an appropriate flame and ingredients, so the taste was no less than a top chef’s cooking.

“What do you think?” Li Lei realized that she fell into a trance after taking a bite.

“If you decide you don’t want to be in charge of your company anymore, how about you be my personal chef?” Xiao Ling frequently lost her intelligence when she indulged in food. She would say whatever was on her mind.

“I can move into your house now and cook for you for a lifetime.” Li Lei smiled and hoped that she would quickly agree to it while she was in a confused state of mind.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ling came back to reality.

“Dream on!” She ate the beef brisket in small bites. “Your salary is too expensive. I can’t afford to hire you.”

“I don’t need a salary.”

“Then what do you want?”

“To be able to eat and stay with you for free.” Li Lei eyes twinkled. “And also to sleep with you.” His last few words were almost a whisper.

This took Xia Ling by surprise, causing her to bite on her chopstick by accident and almost cry in pain. She choked for a bit before taking a breath to recompose herself. “Can you be any more shameless? You can sleep in Hairball’s bed!”

“Sure.” He continued to smile and replied in a gentle voice.

Xia Ling was speechless again. No wonder it was said that shameless people were ever-victorious.

Big Boss Li continued speaking. “I heard Luo Luo say that Hairball would climb on your bed for comfort when it is cold. Xiao Ling, you can’t favor one more than the other.”

Climb on my bed for comfort?

Not only did Hairball climb on her bed, but its favorite thing was also to sleep in her arms. Xia Ling could not help but imagine how Big Boss Li’s satisfied face would look like if he slept in her arms…

Wait, stop.

Her face could not help but turn red.

There was a slight ambiguity in the air. Li Lei mischievously smiled as he used his hand to remove a tiny rice grain near the corner of her lips and put it in his mouth.

Xia Ling stared at him, and her face turned red like a cooked prawn.

Someone opened the door of the trailer.

Looking at the scene inside, Lin Yunan snorted. “Well, it seems that I did not come at the right time.”

Li Lei turned around to look at the killjoy and silently wished he could either boil or braise him in soy sauce.

Lin Yunan sauntered in and sat in front of them. “I have serious business to discuss with you.”

“What… what is it?” Although nothing was going on between her and Li Lei, Xia Ling still felt awkward that someone accidentally saw what they were doing. She desperately tried to calm herself down and asked him.

Lin Yunan looked at Li Lei. “Aren’t you going to leave?

“The one who should leave is you!” Li Lei gritted his teeth. This Lin Yunan really thought highly of himself! How dare he interrupt his meal with Xiao Ling! Now he was even trying to chase him out! Li Lei thought that it was time to contact the family headquarters to ask if there were any lack of human organs recently…

Lin Yunan was unbothered by his anger.

“He is part of Skyart Entertainment, doesn’t he need to leave?” He said directly to Xia Ling. Now, Xia Ling was an artiste under Dongyue Culture and Entertainment. Logically speaking, her company was competing with Skyart Entertainment, and Big Boss Li should have known better and left.

How could there be people like him who had no self-awareness in this world?

Lin Yunan did not know anyone who sold human organs, but he had the same plan for Li Lei.

Both men were staring sternly at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling felt extremely uncomfortable and lost the charming feeling she felt just now. She put down her half-eaten lunch and sighed. “As long as it does not involve something top secret that would cause Dongyue to collapse, just tell me directly. Otherwise, he will always be able to find out about it.” She said to Lin Yunan.

She did not wish to be probed by Li Lei after their conversation because it was bothersome to repeat it to him.

It would be better if they listened to what Lin Yunan had to say together.

After she finished speaking, in Xia Ling’s blind spot, Li Lei smiled victoriously at Lin Yunan.

Lin Yunan had a difficult time restraining himself from impulsively punching him.
