Chapter 871 – Saved Your Reputation.
Nodding, Li Xue could only agree. "I will keep your suggestion in note, Sister Xinyi." She said coughing out a little before pulling her lips into a formal smile that could wipe off the weird air in the room. "Haha … Sister Xinyi, I think the problem here is already solved. I am happy about that. Now, tell me if there is something on my schedule these days. I am already getting bored staying at home and doing nothing".
She added switching the topic at the right time. Lin Xinyi as well supported. Though there was nothing wrong with the topic, still discussing it like a friend with Li Xue was a bit uncomfortable. It seemed that it would require some time and more suitable encounters to get that comfort zone that friends usually have among themselves. After all, friendship is not something that could be established in a few days.
"Ahh, I think I have overreacted. But Li Xue, in the future make sure to not shock me like that. If there is something like this, let me know beforehand so that I will be prepared for it and also have plans to handle it if revealed to the world." Lin Xinyi said and knowing the essentiality of her words, Li Xue nodded, apologizing for hiding the things.
"I am sorry, Sister Xinyi, for hiding it before. But at that time, I was just not too confident in revealing it to you. I thought you might not …" She said but didn't finish her words. Even unspoken, the meaning was already clear to the understanding of the manager.
Shaking her head, she simply denied the thoughts. "It's okay, Li Xue. I can understand that. But unlike the people of the industry, I have never judged the modeling career in respect of the relationship the models hold in their personal life. So even being a mother and wife, a woman could easily make her space among everyone in the industry."
She said and that were the exact thoughts that Li Xue had in her life as well. Never ever has she considered her being a mother could be a hinder in her career. That was why when Feng Yi Lan and Su Fai proposed the plan she was not too doubtful of her capability but for the problem and risk she might cause to her friends.
"As for your recent schedule, Li Xue … though you are getting bored at home, there is nothing much for you to do. You have again become the new face of the industry and not many companies are favorable about it. Although your comeback has been a blockbuster, people would still want to see more of you before deciding things." Lin Xinyi explained patiently and Li Xue nodded as well, hearing her up with all her understanding.
"I understand, Sister Xinyi. I was just saying. It's okay, in the time I have nothing to do, I will make sure to enjoy my time. So that later when I have no time to enjoy, I won't feel too bad".
Lin Xinyi smiled, seeing the girl's cooperative understanding. "Don't worry. Things would get busier after your second project with the Royals. Wait till then. That project will be starting soon in a few days. If seen according to your schedule, believe it to begin after CEO Zheng and Wen Sying's engagement".
Li Xue understood. "Got that, Sister Xinyi. The time is not too far away. It would soon arrive in the blink of an eye."
The manager nodded.
Li Xue pulled her hands up again to check the time and then quickly added as if she had remembered something she had almost forgotten. "Oh yes, Sister Xinyi, I almost forgot to tell you. Later today, there is somewhere I need to visit. If all is done here, I will ask for your leave first. And there also must be my driver waiting outside, so …"
"You have something again today?" Lin Xinyi asked, raising her brows with some suspicion, to which Li Xue just shook her head, chuckling a little.
"Haha … Sister Xinyi, don't worry. Today things would not end up like yesterday. The last day was a special scenario. So, it will be fine today." She assured, before getting up to leave. "And also Sister Xinyi, I want to request you to take back the car and driver the company has provided to me. I have got my own now and that was a request where I have not provided an option to reject given the trouble I got in yesterday."
"Mhm. I got it. Don't worry. Leave it to me, I will handle it. But the next time, make sure to be careful." Lin Xinyi agreed.
"Yes, Sister Xinyi. I will try my best. Now, allow me." Li Xue said before finally turning to leave. Pulling the door of the cabin, she turned to give a final smile to her manager before stepping out to pull the door close again.
Only after she closed the door, she could take a deep breath of relief. Though inside, sitting in front of Lin Xinyi, she was looking all casual; only she knew how hard she was feeling inside. After all, she wasn't the type of person for whom expressing one's own feelings was easy. Neither in the past nor in the present. She was lucky enough that with Mr. Beelzebub, she never felt such a requirement; or else it would have been so tough.
For once even the thought of it scared her but then shrugging her shoulders, she was ready to take her steps out. She has not forgotten the latter part of her plans. She has yet to visit somewhere.
She walked her way through the corridor, reaching the elevator while checking the time on her phone. "It's her half-day today. Seems like it would only be better to take her along". She mumbled to herself as pressing the switch of the elevator, she patiently waited for it to arrive.
But right at the moment, a call entered, bringing a smile over her lips. "Hello, it went well, Mr. Beelzebub. Don't worry, I saved your reputation".. She chimed, receiving the call the very instant.
