He was also touched by his years of patience and companionship. He had promised that he would marry her when she returned from S City, and the position of Mrs Ley had been empty for too long. It was time to find someone else to take care of her.

However, this meeting had disrupted all of his plans. He didn't want to go back, didn't want to get married, and he couldn't even be bothered with the girls around him.

His heart was once again filled with the smile and the voice of a woman …

Lei Zichen returned to the hotel and lazily opened the door. He had indeed eaten quite a lot during his stay in S City, but he hadn't eaten a single meal. It was like tonight's dinner that he could savor.

Lei Zichen stopped at the door of his room, took out his key from his pocket and prepared to open the door.

"Lei Dong, you're back?" Qi Xue'er opened her room door and looked joyfully at Lei Zichen, who was standing across from her. Sometimes, she even felt like a concubine in a harem, waiting for the Emperor's favor.

"Yes, I'm very tired. If there's nothing else, I would like to rest early." Lei Zichen didn't even raise his head to look at her.

He quietly opened the door of the room and prepared to go in.

"Lei Dong." Caught off guard, Qi Xue'er rushed out of her room and hugged Lei Zichen from behind.

"Zichen, it's been a few days since you last looked at me." Qi Xue'er hugged Lei Zichen tightly as she spoke softly.

"Xue'er, I'm really tired." Lei Zichen's face was expressionless, but he lowered his head and used his hands to gently pry open the slender fingers that were tightly wrapped around his waist.

"Zichen, I …" In truth, within Qi Xue'er's heart, she seemed to be asking him a question, but she didn't dare let him say it out loud. After all, even Irene, her fiancée had never asked such a question, let alone herself.

She didn't want to let go. The unique scent of Lei Zichen wafted into her nose, but there was an unusual scent. She frowned. This fragrance was similar to orchids, but it was different from the scent of Chanel that she usually used.

"Lei Dong, where did you eat today?" Qi Xue'er tried to make her tone sound more like a casual conversation than a question.

"A friend's home." Lei Zichen replied impatiently.

"Alright, Xue'er, I'm really tired. Maybe another day." After Lei Zichen finished speaking, he broke free from Fei Xue'er's embrace, walked into his room, and quickly closed the door.

"A friend's home?" Outside the door, Qi Xue'er recalled Lei Zichen's words. This friend of hers must be the woman who had put on makeup for her all day long.

He was just a movie star, yet he was going to lose to a makeup artist from a small city. Furthermore, he had already given birth to a child. This was ridiculous.

She couldn't just let it go like this. A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. She tidied up her clothes, walked back into her room, took out her cell phone and dialed Tao Tian's number.

"Ah, An Xin. It's Xue'er." Qi Xue'er intimately said to Tao Tian.

"Xue'er, is something the matter?" Tao Tian was still puzzled by the fact that Qi Xue'er was calling her from outside of work.

"It's nothing," Qi Xue'er tried her best to keep her tone calm and sweet, "Just now, with Zichen …" "Hehe, you know it too. Men are always dependent on women. It's impossible to overdo me," Qi Xue'er said frivolously, as if she was declaring war on Tao Tian.

"So, if I'm late tomorrow, don't take offense to it. It's fine now, just report it to you. If I'm late, just explain it to everyone." Qi Xue'er's voice was still as charming as ever, so much so that even Tao Tian felt his bones go soft.

"So it's like that," Tao Tian's hand gripped the phone tightly, as if he wanted to crush him. No matter what, Qi Xue'er's words still made her heart hurt, "This is your private matter, so it's not convenient for me to ask too much. I'll explain it to everyone if you're late, but it's best not to affect your work because of personal matters." Tao Tian calmly said, but his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

"That's not right," Tao Tian suddenly came back to his senses. Lei Zichen had just left her house not too long ago. With Lei Zichen's stamina, he definitely wouldn't have gotten tired so quickly.

"Miss Qi, then you should have a good rest. See you tomorrow." Tao Tian felt that there was some trickery behind it, but she didn't want to pursue it too deeply. Everything was just a woman's jealousy; she just wanted to end this ridiculous conversation as soon as possible.

"An Xin, stop pretending!" Seeing that Tao Tian didn't take the bait, Qi Xue'er's voice became shrill and lost all of her usual ladylike charm. "You really don't know what's good for you. Did you forget how I reminded you in the afternoon?" Naturally, she didn't dare to offend Eileen and could only swallow her anger. However, she still didn't want to vent all of her grievances to this small makeup artist. Anyway, after the promotional photos were done, she definitely couldn't let this mortal take away everything that belonged to her.

"Xue'er, I wonder what you're talking about?" Tao Tian's tone was as cold as ever, "If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up now."

"Wait." She hadn't vented her feelings yet, so how could she just hang up the phone?

"I'm telling you, An Xin, you're just a woman who's already had a child. You need to know your own identity, seduce our chairman Lei, or have some dreams of a rich family. Save it!" "Let me tell you, Chairman Lei is already married to Miss Irene, you don't have to worry about that."

"Irene, marry!" These two words were like a bolt out of the blue for Tao Tian. Although Lin Qian'er had already revealed a little of this, no one had verified it before, so Tao Tian still had some hope.

The old Tao Tian had already died. Then, what does her former fiancé marrying someone have to do with her? Why did he still have to affect her nerves? How laughable.

This was already a fact that had been presented in front of her since a long time ago. If it wasn't so, then she wouldn't have been able to leave this place. But why was it that her heart seemed to have been struck by something so hard that she couldn't move or even speak?

"Why? Can't you say anything?" Seeing that Tao Tian had stopped speaking, Qi Xue'er could only say that she had managed to intimidate Tao Tian with her aura. What kind of world could a makeup artist from a small city have seen? She couldn't even speak for a few seconds. "Let me tell you …" Qi Xue'er thought to chase after him, but she still wanted to continue.

"Miss Qi," Tao Tian coldly interrupted her, "Since Chairman Lei is getting married, then there's no hope for you. There's no need for you to worry about him. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. My son is messing around." After Tao Tian finished speaking, he hung up without waiting for a break.

"You …" Tao Tian's tone was neither light nor heavy, but it coincidentally struck the pain in Qi Xue'er's heart. She was so angry that her face turned red, but she could only hear the pouting sound from Tao Tian's phone, unable to vent out.

Ah!" Furious, she flung the phone to the side and watched it crash into the wall, splitting it in half.

Qi Xue`er pulled herself into the blanket, trembling in anger. Tomorrow, she would make a fool of herself in public, and that was not enough.

That's right, she still needed to find someone who was qualified enough to deal with Lei Zichen to treat her.

She did not believe that she could be so arrogant when Miss Ai personally appeared.

Thinking like this, Qi Xue'er finally calmed down, and she quickly got up and reconnected the phone that had been smashed in half. Luckily, the phone was still strong enough, and it was still usable.

"Humph, Tao Tian, just you wait. The good show is yet to come." Qi Xue'er gripped the phone tightly, her face filled with anger.

The next morning, Qi Xue'er arrived late as promised.

"Good morning, everyone." As usual, Qi Xue'er greeted everyone politely.

"Morning, Xue'er," Lin Qian'er said indifferently as she raised her eyelids. Ever since she saw how she treated Tao Tian yesterday, Lin Qian'er really didn't have a good impression of him.

"Qian'Er, I'm sorry, I came late, yesterday, I really …" "Haha …" Qi Xue'er didn't finish her sentence, but covered her mouth and snickered.

"An Xin, didn't I tell you? Hur Hur, sorry about that."

"Xue'er, it's time for the act later. Please sit down, I'll put on some makeup for you, okay?" Lin Qian`er didn't seem to be paying attention to her as she said indifferently. It had only been a few days, yet Qi Xue'er's actions were totally different from before. Lin Qian`er was truly taken aback. She was truly an actress and loved acting.

"You …" Qi Xue'er brought dissatisfaction to herself.

"Qian'Er," Tao Tian walked over with a make-up case as he reprimanded her.

"Sit down, Xue'er. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's hurry up and start now." Tao Tian also had a calm expression. He didn't seem to notice the conflict between him and Qi Xue'er last night. He only had a calm expression on his face.

The more it was like this, the harder it was for Qi Xue'er to sit still.

"An Xin, did you do it on purpose? Look at my eyebrows, they're short and thick, what do you mean? If you don't know how to transform, just tell me. I need to change my makeup quickly." Tao Tian was concentrating on helping Qi Xue'er with her makeup when Qi Xue'er started shouting and being picky. It attracted the attention of countless people around her, and Qi Xue'er started to get even more proud of herself.

Tao Tian silently stopped his hand. He looked at Qi Xue'er, expressionless.

"Hey, are you looking for trouble?" Lin Qian'er, who was at the side, couldn't stand it any longer, "I've been treating you like this every day, why do you have any objections today?"

"What, just look on unhappily today?" Qi Xue'er lifted her face proudly as she spoke.

"Miss Qi, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied?" Cai Shijun suddenly appeared in the dressing room.

"Sis Qiong," the staff all nodded politely at Cai Shijun.

"Boss Cai, look at your eyebrows! They're so ugly that they're made by An Xin!" Seeing the arrival of the leader, Qi Xue'er became even more excited.

"Oh? "Really? Let me take a look." Cai Shijun was also the Chief Stylist, so when she walked over to take a closer look, she didn't find anything amiss. She had a rough understanding of what was going on.

"Miss Qi, since you're satisfied, then let me help you with this. I'll have An Xin and Qian'Er prepare some clothes for you." Cai ShiQiong said with a smile as she looked at the proud face of Qi Xue'er in the mirror.
