4. Lotus flowers in the moors

The next day, in Glory World Entertainment's practice room.

" Sheng Zu…Miss Sheng, these are all the trainees in our company who have recently reached Grade A. You can choose one of them to be your partner."

"…I know."

After the baptism of intimidation in the morning, Fang Ze no longer rejected the term "ancestor" and accepted it perfectly. For a moment, he almost changed in front of others.

At this moment, the trainees opposite the two of them were also discussing softly,

"Who is this? What a big face. Why is Special Assistant Fang being such a lackey?"

"That's right, that's right. I heard that Special Assistant Fang is Big Boss's 'Imperial Chief Executor', but he has never treated anyone like this."

" Who cares? I'm just a drop from above. I'll definitely have good resources. Seize the opportunity. Who knows, I might become famous too!"

Fang Ze, who was not far away, was full of anger. However, he did not dare to act rashly because he was in a 'companion' at the moment. He could only shout loudly in his heart.

This group of trainees, don't you know how to lower your voices? You're just short of whispering into my ear.

What do you mean lackey? I'm respecting the elders!

"Imperial Chief"? No matter how bad I am, I should be a "guard with a saber".

At this moment, Sheng Li turned a deaf ear to the voices around her, and her expression did not change at all because of the malicious guesses of these girls.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the group of gorgeously dressed little girls standing in front of him.

Most people's eyes were filled with scheming, scheming, and jealousy. They did not have the purity and innocence that one should have at this age.

Just as she was about to refuse, a pair of eyes suddenly caught Sheng Li's attention.

"He Hua!"

His round deer eyes were filled with a hint of timidity and desire.

However, when she looked over, she did not look as gentle and magnanimous as she remembered.

They did not look alike at all, but the look in their eyes was exactly the same as when they first met in his memory.

Back then, among the palace servants who yearned for power and high positions, it was also this pair of timid and eager deer eyes that attracted him.

Unfortunately, the gentle and demure girl from back then chose the most tragic path in the end.

All of this was because…

"I choose her."

Sheng Li, who was immersed in the happy and sad memories of the past, made a choice without hesitation. Looking at the desire in the deer's eyes, she didn't know if it was for nostalgia or for atonement.

"It's…Xia Hua."

Fang Ze followed Sheng Li's gaze and looked down at the information in his hand to confirm her identity.

The business was okay, but his personal characteristics were not very distinct and not outstanding enough.

However, with Ancestor Sheng's promotion, he would definitely rise to the top.

At this moment, Fang Ze did not realize that he had completely fallen for Sheng Li's personal charm. He had activated the self-brainwashing " fanboy " mode.

After confirming the candidates for the team, Fang Ze led the others to retreat, allowing the two of them to cultivate their relationship and chemistry.

In the empty practice room, Xia Hua, who had been squeezed into a corner, became Sheng Li's only line of sight.

Looking at Sheng Li, who was staring at her with a complicated gaze, Xia Hua struggled for a long time, not knowing the temper and personality of the person in front of her. Finally, she said weakly,

"What is your name?"

"My name is Sheng Li, also known as Gan Tang."

There was no one around, so Sheng Li forgot what the " Dog Eunuch " had repeatedly told her before. She couldn't help but return to her original address.

"What? This old woman?"

Thinking that Sheng Li was just joking to liven up the atmosphere, Xia Hua didn't dwell too much on the strange way of addressing her, but she felt a little less nervous.

Then, he familiarly found an intimate form of address and asked.

"Ah Li, how old are you this year?"

"I…I should be 2217 years old this year."

Hearing Xia Hua's question, Sheng Li answered seriously.

In his heart, he was shocked by this long-lost address.

Was this a coincidence? Really, it wasn't He Hua?

"Ah Li, don't joke around. Um…2217 years old. You're 17 years old this year, right? You're so young, you're not even an adult yet."

Xia Hua didn't notice the change in Sheng Li's expression at the moment and answered with a smile.

"You, why do you call me Ah Li?"

Sheng Li hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't help but ask the question in her heart. There was a hint of trembling in her voice, and there was also a hint of unnoticeable anticipation.

"I just feel that this form of address is more intimate. What's wrong? Wasn't it nice? If you don't like it, I won't call you that."

"It's fine. It's very nice. I like it very much."

Sheng Li lowered her eyes in joy or regret. In the blink of an eye, she answered Xia Hua's question seriously,

"Yes, I was joking."

Xia Hua was a little speechless as she looked at the tight little face in front of her.

I'm sorry, I really can't tell that he's joking.

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine.
