Chapter 511: Ice-cream
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling was clueless about the conversations going on in the crowd around them and stared at the ice-cream blissfully. “I want the strawberry flavored one! The vanilla flavored one over there looks good too! The matcha latte looks so pretty! And the one over there is chocolate toffee, right?…” Her eyes lit up. She wanted everything she saw!

She could not be blamed though, it had been a year since she ate ice-cream.

Ever since she was pregnant, Pei Ziheng kept her under a strict diet, one devoid of such junk food.

Today, it was as if a bird was released from its cage. It liked whatever it saw.

Li Lei stared at her, holding intentions to pamper her to the fullest, and told the store attendant, “Please give us a serving of every flavor.”

“Sure thing.” The blissful vibes between the couple were rubbing off on the store attendant, and he happily presented them a membership card. “You can get a discount if you accumulate 10 points.”

“1, 2, 3, 4…” Xia Ling leaned into Li Lei’s arms and counted, her white fingertips dancing within his palm. “We have 9 now, what else should we get?” Her eyebrows furrowed in deep thought.

“Let’s get the hazelnut one, don’t you like hazelnuts the most?” Li Lei gently replied. He had already swiped his card to make payment and smoothly received the plastic bag in which the store attendant placed the 9 ice-creams. He tore open one of the wrappers and raised it to her lips. “Say ‘ah.’”

She took a bite, found the taste really good, and took the ice-cream herself.

“Let’s get the hazelnut one, then,” She wore a huge grin on her face and told the store attendant, “Could we get one more hazel…”

As her voice rang out, suddenly, a girl from behind screeched, “Ye Xingling! That’s Ye Xingling!”

She was eventually recognized. During this period, she received too much media attention. Though she did not look exceptionally outstanding, her figure was slim and dainty, and it made it easy to recognize her.

Xia Ling froze, her hands shaking, and almost dropped the ice-cream.

“Ye Xingling, you’re Ye Xingling, right!” The girls became excited. “Can you remove your sunglasses so that we can see you? Oh gosh, it’s a celebrity…”

“Quickly, run!” Xia Ling’s face paled with fear as she pulled on Li Lei’s arm and ran out.

Li Lei was rather athletic and guarded her as they rushed out. Behind them, many girls followed closely. “It’s definitely Ye Xingling! I just searched on Baidu. That handsome guy next to her is Li Lei! Li Lei and Ye Xingling, hurry and give chase!”

In this world, the one thing crazier than being a lunatic was to chase celebrities. While running, Xia Ling kept turning back to look, her ice-cream still in her mouth. “Oh no, my hazelnut flavored ice-cream…” They were missing one ice-cream!

Li Lei laughed good-naturedly. “You’re still thinking of your hazelnut ice-cream at a time like this! Just run!”

As he said that, he pulled her to avoid the pedestrians and other obstacles in their path, weaving in and out of the crowd. It was only when they ran into a nearby park that they managed to shake off the small crowd of fans chasing after them.

Panting, Xia Ling sat on the edge of a flower bed. “That was tiring.”

She stared at her ice-cream and sobbed. “My ice-cream is almost melted.”
