"Ah! Meili is here! Meili! Meili!"
"Little Angel Li!"
"Our Meili is so beautiful!"
"Meili! It's really our Meili!"
"Little Meili, please look this way."
"Meili, I love you!"
"Meili, my heart beats for you!"
The girl pulled back the stray hair from her face, revealing a sweet fair face. Those big bright eyes alone were enough to make hearts race. She possesed the sweetest smile ever, her red lips making one want to take a bite.
Her red dress looked vibrant and a bit showy. However, she still managed to look like a cute little angel while wearing it.
That was Lu Meili. She was the most famous actress in the nation. Her beauty was enough to steal millions of hearts. All the young men had fallen in love with her and women were not able to escape her charm either. Within just a few months as an actress, she had hundreds of thousands of fans more than Lin Lihua had when she was the nation's goddess.
They all fondly called her "the nation's sweet beauty."
Amid the wave of cheers, she tried to make her way.
"Could my fans please calm down? I'm sorry but I really have to rush somewhere right now. I can only take a few photos with you. I will share them with you on my Weibo later. Thank you for being understanding."
To say those few statements with a charming smile, she had used up a lot of effort.
She was so tired from filming. As soon as she landed at the airport, her fans had sorrounded her. They had no idea how tired she was.
Fortunately, they loved her so much that they didn't want to make things difficult for their little beauty, so they let her off this once.
"First miss, where do you want to go?" The chauffeur asked when Lu Meili entered the car.
"HL Entertainment." She said in three words with her eyes closed.
Her tone was so stern that the chauffeur was frightened. Was first miss in a bad mood? "But... first miss, madam said that you should go home first. Master wants to speak to you."
Lu Meili kept her eyes closed as she massaged her temples lightly. "Then go home."
...
Wan Jia was overjoyed when she saw the car enter the compound. She rushed out to recieve her daughter.
"Look who's here! Our little superstar is back."
Lu Meili simply hugged her. "Hi mom. I'm so tired. Can I go to rest first? I want to go to HL Entertainment later."
Wan Jia knew at one glance that her daughter was not just tired. There had to be something else. And she knew her daughter well enough to guess what it was about. "Honey, what's happening?"
Lu Meili couldn't hold it anymore. "That Xu bastard is a despicable jerk! He... there's news all over the entertainment industry about him and that little actress. How dare he do this? He's so shameless. That's what's happening."
Wan Jia gave her daughter a questioning look. How could Xu Tang be a jerk? And... did Lu Meili just scold someone? She had watched Xu Tang grow into a respectable young man. Besides, "If I remember correctly, there's nothing going on between you and him. What right do you have to call him a jerk?"
Lu Meili frowned. Just who was her child between her and Xu Tang? Why was she siding with him? Didn't she know? "We grew up together and I love him."
"So he said that he loved you too and wanted to be with you?"
"No, but..."
"Then he has the right to be with whoever he wants. He didn't play with your feelings. You have no right to scold him and call him a jerk."
Lu Meili had no retaliation. Her mother was right. Although she had loved him for years, he had never said anything misleading to her.
It had always been her one-sided feelings.
...
Xu Tang was her childhood friend. As innocent as childhood playmates could be, they spent most of their time together. They even went to the same schools.
It was not sure when it happened but she had fallen in love with him.
Perhaps it was because he had always protected her. Ever since she realized that she was in love with him, she would pay more attention to him.
He had never got unnecessarily close to any other girl. Until he left the country to study overseas, it had always been just the two of them.
However, had she been wrong about him all along? She had thought that he was just as deeply in love with her as she was with him.
Had she thought too much all this while?
Had he only seen her as a friend?
"Meili, you cannot force love. If a man doesn't love you, you should let go. Sticking onto him will only make you heartbroken. You are such a nice girl and will eventually find someone who loves you." Wan Jia said.
Lu Meili stopped playing with her bracelet, the one Xu Tang had gifted her when she was a teenager, and she had kept on her for years. "I understand, mom." She remembered what the chauffeur said about Lu Aotian wanting to speak to her. "Is daddy home yet?"
"He's in his study, waiting for you."

"Daddy, I'm back." Lu Meili said and knocked on the door to Lu Aotian's study.
"Come in."
"Daddy, you don't seem very happy to see me." She went and sat down opposite the serious man. "Why, did I do something wrong?"
Lu Aotian retrieved some paper from the desk. "I have let you go ahead and explore your dream. But Lu Meili, when did I ever let you film nonsense?"
