Chapter 1133: Small Coffee Bar

Marriage was a taboo between them.

Xia Ling knew that he would not give in, but she was not willing to give in either, so she just said, "I want to take on an advertisement."

Pei Ziheng also felt that it was good for her to go out and distract herself. At least she would not always think about it. He nodded and answered, "I will let Chu Chen take care of you, remember not to be too tired."

The next day, she was escorted by the bodyguard to Imperial Entertainment.

She looked up at the towering buildings of Imperial Entertainment and suddenly felt it was a little unfamiliar after not having seen it for so long. Near the main entrance, Chu Chen had already been waiting for her for a long time. She was the only one besides his Boss who could make the general manager of the management department and the trusted confidant of Pei Ziheng wait for her and serve her.

In the past, Xia Ling always felt that this honor was taken for granted. Recently, she realized that Chu Chen was not only helping her to take care of her but actually monitoring her?

He accompanied her inside and pressed the elevator for her. "Are you tired? Xiao Ling, you are now in a very special time. Rest in the office and have a cup of milk, then we will confirm the advertisement schedule. "

Xia Ling looked at him. He indeed knew she was pregnant.

Her interested waned, and she felt that everything was in the hands of others, and she was not allowed to be free. Without a sense of care, she entered the elevator silently and watched the elevator rise slowly.

"Help me to press the 8th floor," she said.

Chu Chen asked, "What are you going to the 8th floor for?" Her office, or exclusive lounge, had always been on the 22nd floor. It covered a large area and everything was available. The 8th floor wa a public area where people came and go.

Xia Ling's mood was not good. She yelled at him, "Do I need to report to you where I go?"

Chu Chen knew that her temper was bad. In the past few days, she and Pei Ziheng had been unhappy, and everyone around had to suffer. He pressed the 8th floor and went out with her.

Xia Ling took a few steps and looked at him in dissatisfaction. "What are you doing with me?"

Chu Chen said, "You are in a situation..."

"What situation?" Xia Ling sneered. "Am I not just pregnant? Pei Ziheng doesn't even want to give me a name, but is so concerned about it! He even got you to take care of his matters!"

"Xiao Ling! Lower your voice!" Chu Chen's expression changed. He glanced around, checked that no one was near, then breathed a sigh of relief. Her relationship with Pei Ziheng was a secret, how could she just say it out so casually? These things were really big news that was absolutely sensational, especially since Wang Jingwan just died for two months!

Xia Ling stopped being loud, but she still looked at him and sneered. "It's his child, what are you afraid of?"

Chu Chen felt his temper rising. He felt that every time his life would shorten by this little devil, but he had to endure it. He revealed a bitter smile. "Just take pity on me, if you announce this matter, I will be dismissed tomorrow."

Although Xia Ling was in a bad mood, after being partners with him for so many years, she decided not to say anything more excessive. She pointed her finger at a small coffee bar at the end of the corridor. "My office is too stuffy, I'll go there for a while. Don't follow me, I want to be alone."

That was Imperial Entertainment's own small coffee bar, and usually only allowed artists and managers could come in and out.

Chu Chen estimated that there would be no danger, so he yelled at her, "Okay, but don't drink coffee."

Xia Ling snorted. "Why, are you worried that I will have a miscarriage? Rest assured, this child is very tenacious. Some time ago, I tossed and turned him and yet nothing happened." Seeing Chu Chen's worried look, she suddenly laughed. "Look at you worrying. Fine, I won't drink coffee. Since when did I like drinking coffee?"

Chu Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

He said to her, "Then you go to sit first, I'll let the assistant send the notice, and then I will find you."

Xia Ling waved her hand and went straight to the coffee bar.

The air in the small coffee bar was filled with a bitter aroma. When she entered, there were already several artists chatting over coffee. Seeing her, their expressions were a little weird, and there was an invisible curiosity in their eyes.

Xia Ling glanced at them with a sort of provocative arrogance.

Some of them bowed their heads, while others frowned, their eyes jealous and disdainful.

Xia Ling asked for a cup of coffee and walked over to several artists. She said condescendingly, "You were glaring at me, right? Li Bingman, Zi Xun, and you, Zheng Chenhao, are you tired of living?" She came here to stir up trouble on purpose. Since Pei Ziheng refused to let her have an abortion, she would let the child be "accidentally" aborted.

Her obedience at home was just an illusion to confuse him.

Li Bingman and the others did not know the inside story, they only felt that Xia Ling had become even more arrogant in the time they hadn't seen her.

Li Bingman was originally holding a small silver fork cake to eat. She tightened her grip on the silver fork in her hand, almost snapping it in two. She looked up at Xia Ling calmly. "It's really rare, I haven't seen you for a long time." She was not stupid, and she was still considered sensible. Although she hated Xia Ling since she entered the training camp more than a decade ago, who told her to be more expensive and more prominent than her own popularity? Li Bingman did not want to offend such a troublesome person.

Xia Ling had undergone tremendous changes recently. Her ability to understand the human heart was stronger than before. She listened to her and could hear the meaning behind her words, so she deliberately revealed an expression of anger. "Why do you care how long I haven't been here for? So what if Ziheng said the target next year has been changed to you? Don't be proud!"

Li Bingman's brows shot up. "What did you say?!"

Xia Ling deliberately glared at her. "Don't pretend! You are really shameless to snatch my resources!" Right after saying that, she poured a cup of steaming coffee onto Li Bingman.

Li Bingman was caught off guard. She screamed and jumped up. However, her white hand-made version of the winter clothing was completely ruined and miserably soaked in coffee. "Xia Ling!" She couldn't hold back her temper. She forgot all the thoughts of not offending her and said sharply, "Do you have any education?! The chairman gave me the opportunity next year, so you're just jealous, right?! Serves you right!"

Earlier, there had been some faint rumors saying that the relationship between Xia Ling and the Chairman was not simple.

When he got engaged with Wang Jingwan, Xia Ling cried so sullenly outside the conference room and many people had seen it. After Wang Jingwan's accident, Xia Ling disappeared for a long time—so many people speculated that the inside story was not simple. For a female singer, the good news was, maybe, possibly, probably Pei Ziheng had already abandoned Xia Ling.

Li Bingman also had such an idea. In the past few days, taking advantage of Xia Ling's absence, she had scattered many rumors about Xia Ling. She also boldly proposed to the company the willingness to take over an important business performance next year.

The discerning eye could see that she wanted to compete with Xia Ling for the position of the chief female artist.
