Chapter 193 - Escaping from the Garden of Eden

Chapter 193 Escaping from the Garden of Eden

Upon hearing what Ross said, Tang Xia suddenly smiled. What had happened between them was neither manipulation or speculation.

Although she had unconsciously driven to Ye Yifan’s house by herself, he was the one that had pulled her into his house. She had not asked him to make her dinner. He was the one that had initiated it. How could something like what Ross had said happen?

She sighed and patted her on the cheek. Upon seeing her gossiping expression, she could not hold back her laughter.

“Your imagination is abnormally wild.”

Ross was dumbfounded. When she saw Tang Xia walk away, she chased after her immediately and grabbed hold of her.

“What do you mean my imagination is wild? You must know that what I’m telling you right now is good advice! It will all benefit you!”

Tang Xia suddenly felt helpless. This kind of imagination was out of this world! She was talking about unrealistic things.

However, on second thought, although Ross liked to talk about all kinds of nonsense in the company, this was all for Tang Xia’s own good. Tang Xia could only let her be. She then lifted her hand and flicked Ross’ forehead.

“When will you restrain your passion for gossip?”

As the two of them were chatting away, they heard the ‘click-clack’ of high heels coming from afar. Then, just like the way the stars surrounded the moon, Li Xianxian appeared in a crowd of people. It was a group of bustling fans.

What was going on? Did she have a live scheduled that day? Tang Xia looked at Li Xianxian with a puzzled look as she walked directly towards her.

That day, Li Xianxian was wearing a bright yellow high-end tailored gown. She had topped it off with a white cashmere sweater, a pair of big black sunglasses, and a pair of heels that were eight centimeters tall.

She was dressed really formally. Tang Xia only felt a suppressing feeling to charge towards her. She had a bad feeling about it, so she quickly turned to look at Ross.

“I’ll hand this to you and take my leave now.”

Ross was stunned. Before she could even react, Tang Xia picked up her bag and left directly. Just as she had managed to take two steps, Li Xianxian saw that she was trying to run away and shouted loudly, “Tang Xia!”

In an instant, everyone in the entire building turned to look at the two of them. Tang Xia had not expected that Li Xianxian would act so crazy that day and put up such a show in front of everyone else.

She might not care about her dignity, but Tang Xia cared about hers!

She could only turn around reluctantly. She was not willing to have people think that she was running away at such a crucial time. If she were to leave, she believed that Li Xianxian would stand there alone and scold her the whole day.

“What’s the matter?”

Li Xianxian marched towards her and grabbed her wrist harshly. Tang Xia was taken aback. She looked down at her hand, which was being held really tightly. Li Xianxian had exerted so much strength that it felt like she was trying to break her wrist into pieces.

Tang Xia really wanted to pull her hand away. In fact, she did just that. However, she did not know where Li Xianxian had gotten so much strength from. She could not break free, no matter what.

“Say whatever you want to say. Don’t make moves behind everyone’s back.”

Tang Xia could not stand it anymore. She lifted her elbow directly for everyone else to see. They were all shocked. Li Xianxian could only let go of her. She took off her sunglasses slowly, but her gaze was still very fierce.

“Did you deliberately go to Ye Yifan’s house last night to seduce him?”

Actually, Tang Xia had already guessed why she was so furious. This had to be related to Ye Yifan. However, she had not expected this gossip to travel so fast.

It seemed like she had underestimated the speed at which media could spread information and forgotten that this was what she did for a living. After staying silent for a while, she turned and looked at Li Xianxian. “I didn’t.”

Her gaze was abnormally calm and serious. Li Xianxian was swayed for a moment. She almost believed her.

However, this was the truth. She had not seduced Ye Yifan. On the contrary, he was the one that had invited her to his house and cooked for her. In other words, she had not done anything. This time around, Li Xianxian had really misunderstood. There was always a misunderstanding.

Li Xianxian was a little angry. The paparazzi had already caught her entering Ye Yifan’s house, so she did not believe that Ye Yifan had called her over and pulled her in by force, although the truth was something like that…

Just as she was about to go crazy again, she suddenly heard two claps.

Both of them were stunned. The crowd surrounding them also reacted immediately and turned to see where the sound had come from.

They only saw a woman in tight-fitting business attire and a pair of intellectual square glasses. She had a charming perm, and her whole body radiated an intellectual elegance. On top of that, there was also the temptation of the uniform.

Her red lips moved as she said, “Alright, you two.”

She was obviously there to stop them. After all, Li Xianxian had almost become rough with Tang Xia. Li Xianxian put down her hand and adjusted her skirt. The assistant beside her quickly stepped forward and handed her stuff before touching up her makeup, and so on.

Tang Xie massaged the wrist that had almost turned purple from Li Xianxian’s grip. Then, she turned around and said politely, “Sis July.”

July glanced at Tang Xia. She made a mental note to remember her and nodded. Compared to Li Xianxian’s self-entitlement and arrogance, she preferred people like Tang Xia, who knew how to remain humble. She had not become proud just because she had gained recognition from a few live streams.

She then looked at Li Xianxian and felt like shaking her head at her behavior.

“Alright, you two. I’m already here, so stop fighting. You must have received the notice already. The fans requested that the two of you do a live stream together to see who is the queen of female anchors.”

Notice? Tang Xia was taken aback. Why had she not received anything? Ross, who was standing beside her, said immediately, “I sent you a message yesterday, didn’t you get it?”

Tang Xia had a big sudden realization. She had zonked out and slept through the previous night without looking at her phone at all. She quickly took her phone out of her bag. Indeed, there were several messages about the notice. Frustrated, she smacked her own forehead. What trouble had she caused herself?

She had not looked at her phone at all before coming to the office. What a bother!

No wonder Li Xianxian had dressed up so formally that day. She had been prepared for the live stream!

Li Xianxian snorted. “The queen will definitely be me!”

Tang Xia rolled her eyes. Why did she feel like a child that had yet to grow up?

“It’s you! Alright? It’s you!”

Upon seeing Tang Xia’s indifferent attitude, Li Xianxian became even more furious. She wanted to say something, but July quickly stood between the two of them and said, “Then quickly return to the broadcast room! The fans can’t wait any longer!”

What a joke. How could she possibly allow this princess to cause a scene here? If she was not careful, Li Xianxian would blow the roof off this building.

Li Xianxian could only give in and glare at Tang Xia harshly. “We shall see!”

Then, she turned around and stomped away in her eight-centimeter-tall high heels.

After Li Xianxian left, Tang Xia looked at July with gratitude. July raised her brow and said, “What are you doing here? Go and do this live stream now. It’s starting soon.”

Tang Xia nodded and smiled as she thanked her. She then turned and left.

While she looked at Xia Tang’s increasingly distant back view, a meaningful smile spread across July’s face.

In the broadcast room…

Tang Xia stood in the middle of the broadcast room and looked at her surroundings in a daze. She suddenly recalled that she had looked at Weibo on her phone earlier. The war between her fans and Ye Yifan’s fans was growing stronger.

She thought about the scene the previous night. When he had seen her appear at his house, she had faintly seen a hint of surprise in his eyes. She had felt that the whole thing was so surreal until he had dragged her into his house.

She then recalled him cooking for her personally and even taking her home. If she had not gone to the company that day, or if it had not been for the chaos over the pictures, she would not have believed that this whole thing was real, as she had slept all the way until the morning.

On Weibo, the number of times that Ye Yifan and her name had been searched together was growing exponentially. Would her relationship with her Prince Charming change because of this?

While thinking about how she had embarked on this journey as a female anchor for the Prince Charming without hesitation and walked this path, she had indeed fallen in love with everything here.

However, now that everything had led up to today’s situation, she could not help but want to be closer to her Prince Charming even more. She wanted to be closer to Ye Yifan again.

Was this a greedy thought? She did not regret it. Even though there were people like Li Xianxian on this journey, she would not back down.

She suddenly recalled what July had said earlier. This was a battle between her and Li Xianxian. If that was the case, she had to win. For her future, for her path, for Ye Yifan. No matter what, she had to win this.

“Tang Xia, what are you thinking about?”

Tang Xia was startled by this sudden voice. As if awakened from a dream, she turned to see where the sound had come from. She only saw Ross staring at her and pointing to the monitor. She then realized that her fans had gone crazy already.

“Why isn’t it starting yet?”

“I waited until the flowers began withering!”

“How much longer?”

“…”

Tang Xia immediately threw Ross a grateful look. Then, she turned around and took a deep breath before she started the live stream.

“It’s finally starting!”

“My popcorn is ready!”

“Sitting and waiting for the voice support of the Tang Ye couple!”

“…”

Tang Xia entered the broadcast studio and only saw a white light shining in front of her. This caused her to feel a little dizzy.

System Warning: The world that you are entering this round is ‘Escaping from the Garden of Eden’

Escaping from the Garden of Eden? What kind of mission was that? She had never taken on such a mission. Although she was a little worried, she calmed down very quickly.

This had to be the battlefield where the fight between her and Li Xianxian would take place! She had to win, no matter what! However, the instant she entered the broadcast studio, she suddenly remembered something…

Every time she did a live stream, someone would always appear and be the Final Boss. This seemed to have become the norm.

She lifted her head slowly and looked towards the glaring yet hopeful daylight.

Chu Tiankuo, will you still come back this time?

Tang Xia did not know why she would think of him. Upon thinking about him killing Ye Yifan in the villa last time, her heart tightened suddenly.

She then recalled shouting at him and saying that she did not want to see him ever again. She could not help but feel sorry for him.

Even though he was heartless, this had still been a mission of the system, just like they had to take on this mission to continue staying alive, no matter what happened. As for him, his mission was to kill them, no matter what.

I hope I won’t meet you this time around.

When Tang Xia opened her eyes again, an extremely good-looking young man entered her field of vision. He lifted her chin.

“Will you go back with me or not?”
