A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Li Lei’s face darkened and snatched the cup away. “Do you know how to drink water? See, your shirt collar is already wet. What shall I do if you catch a cold later?”

Xia Ling felt wronged. He was talking with the Nangong family and she felt bored. What else could she do besides drink water?

Beside them, the father and daughter of the Nangong family had dark expressions. This adulterous couple was acting as if no one was there!

“Second Young Master Li.” Nangong Qingya endured humiliation in front of the man she liked and said in a reserved yet brave manner. “How about we talk after you and Miss Ye are done? I will be leaving first today.” She retreated in order to advance as she knew that Li Lei would have to care about the larger interest and not disrespect his future wife and her father because of a wild woman.

Sure enough, Li Lei said, “Miss Nangong, please stop. Let’s finish our conversation today.”

Nangong Qingya was elated but acted reserved. “What about Miss Ye?” She looked at Xia Ling and anticipated for Li Lei to chase her away.

However, Li Lei acted like he didn’t understand her intentions at all. He only said to Xia Ling in a low voice, “Be good and sit here. Don’t move. After this is over, I will take you to eat dessert.”

He sounded very gentle.

“Ok.” Xia Ling acknowledged.

Both of them were very loving and acted as if no one was there. Nangong Bohai was enraged. “Second Young Master Li, I’ve said that our Qingya has been living in luxury, and I hope that her future husband’s family will not let her suffer any grievances!”

Xia Ling could not tolerate someone being so vicious towards her sweetheart and rebuked. “You should tell these things to Miss Nangong’s future husband’s family. What’s the use of telling that to Li Lei?”

“Oh?” This time, Nangong Qingya laughed.

Nangong Bohai also sneered. “Miss Ye, don’t act stupid. Qingya’s future husband’s family is the Li family. The entire Li family, from Old Master to Second Young Master Li, really admires our Qingya.”

Xia Ling was stunned.

Nangong Qingya very elegantly said, “That’s why while two of our families have a discussion, can Miss Ye please leave for a while?” She did not want to make Li Lei unhappy, but she was going to be the official wife while Ye Xingling was the mistress, so she should not lose the upper hand from the start and had to firmly gain the advantage. She also wanted to let Li Lei know that she was not a weak girl and was able to take the large responsibility of being the future Missus of the Li Family.

“When did you agree to marry her?” After Xia Ling recovered from the shock, she asked Li Lei rather aggressively.

Li Lei was very innocent. “I only promised to marry you. Since when did I promise to marry someone else?” How was it his fault that some people got the wrong idea?

Nangong Qingya only felt that her heart was about to explode. Wh… what?! Second Young Master Li said that he only promised to marry that b*tch Ye Xingling?! He never said that he was going to marry anyone else?!

What exactly was the purpose of this dinner meeting then?!
