Chapter 301: Holding a Conversation
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling had been on numerous luxurious cars. In her last life, she was even a member of the city’s Super Speed Club.

Just by scanning the inside of the car from the back seat, she could roughly make up the car owner’s character. It was probably someone well-organized and particular about details, but also somebody who made things seem a little dull at times.

Generally speaking, he was somewhat like Pei Ziheng.

However, compared to this car, Pei Ziheng’s Rolls Royce looked even more lifeless and boring. Eventually, she could not take it anymore and covered the built-in leather seats with rabbit prints. Since then, every time he sat in the car in his suit and tie, there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

Xia Ling smiled slightly as past memories flashed through her mind.

Rong Ping caught a glimpse of her smile. “You seem to be in a pretty good mood.”

Xia Ling turned towards him, and the look in her eyes changed. “Why? Should I be in a bad mood instead?” The two of them were not considered close at all, but in this rather dimly-lit space, her beauty stunned him. He had seen plenty of pretty female celebrities, but never someone like her. Someone whose eyes looked so innocent and pure, almost as if they could speak. Someone whose inadvertent glance could make his heart skip a beat. All of a sudden, he somewhat understood now, the reason why Skyart Entertainment’s Boss would chase her.

“I thought…” Rong Ping paused to think about his phrasing carefully, and continued with a gentle and casual tone, “Participating in this kind of show would make you feel stressed.”

“Stressed?”

“You are someone with pursuers, you know that…” It was common to hear about young female artistes breaking up with their boyfriends just so that they could start scandals with some top-tier male celebrities for fame. But it was different for her. Even if she left Rong Ping for Li Lei, everyone would not be surprised.

“Oh, Li Lei wasn’t unhappy.” Xia Ling understood the meaning behind his words and replied casually. “You don’t have to worry either.” Just as what Boss Li had said the other day, Rong Ping was not of a standard that would make him feel threatened. If there was anyone, he would probably be more worried if it was Pei Ziheng. Was this why he would rather let her be involved in a scandal with Rong Ping, but never with Zheng Chenhao from Imperial Entertainment?

Xia Ling became a little distracted as she thought to herself.

Rong Ping stopped talking as well. It felt a little odd for him to be comforted and reassured by a girl instead. As a man, especially someone that was successful in his career, Rong Ping had a very strong sense of pride, despite his modest and humble disposition. He believed that he was at least on par with everyone else. However, it was obvious from her tone that she did not put him on the same level as Li Lei.

Granted, Li Lei was a Big Boss, while he was just an actor.

Yet, this only explained that Li Lei was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it did not mean that he was any more capable. Rong Ping had received the Academy Best Actor Award twice consecutively and was currently working hard to get it for the third time in a row. His next goal would be to fight for the Academy Honorary Award. If he managed to attain all of these achievements, he would be considered an unsurpassable actor in his country for this era. He was already at the peak of his career. But what about Li Lei? Skyart Entertainment was no doubt an outstanding company. But, was Li Lei’s company above the rest? Definitely not.
