Zhu Ling had difficulty breathing, her cheeks flushed red, and her instinct for survival made her hit Zhichen's arm hard.
Perhaps Zhichen felt pain in his arm, or perhaps he couldn't bear it any longer, so he finally let go and turned his head to the side.
Zhu Ling bent over and coughed several times, tears streaming down her face.
After she felt better, she quickly explained to Zhichen, "Zhichen, I didn't mean to harm Xia Xingchen. You have to believe me."
Zhichen didn't look at her, his eyes fixed on the front, and he laughed at himself: "In the past, I believed in you very much, but in the end, all I got in return was... disappointment."
This time, he didn't want to be stupid again.
When Zhichen was about to leave, Zhuling grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Why won't you believe me this time?"
Zhichen remained indifferent and cruelly flicked his sleeve. Zhu Ling fell to the ground with the force. She raised her head and shouted weakly: "Zhichen, Zhichen..."
Zhichen didn't even look back.
Until Zhichen's figure disappeared in the night, Zhu Ling murmured: "I did all this not for Shuyue, but for you!"
When Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen arrived at the palace, Ling Mei and Gong Nan prepared a table of delicious food for Xia Xingchen.
This table of dishes was specially prepared by a top chef invited by Ling Mei.
Seeing them come back, Ling Mei greeted them with a smile, "Xingchen, you're back."
Seeing Gong Bingye next to Xia Xingchen, Ling Mei pushed him away and selfishly occupied Xia Xingchen, "Xingchen, look... these are all prepared for you."
Ling Mei pointed at the dishes on the table and introduced them gently.
Gong Bingye, who was disliked by her biological mother, instantly turned into a wronged baby.
Xia Xingchen looked at the table full of food, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She looked at Ling Mei and said with emotion, "Thank you... Mom."
"What did you call me?" Ling Mei was surprised and happy.
"Mom, thank you." Xia Xingchen repeated.
Ling Mei didn't know what Xia Xingchen had experienced in the past, but she knew that when Xia Xingchen called her "Mom", she accepted her from the bottom of her heart.
"Oh!" Ling Mei responded loudly with tears in her eyes.
The two even hugged each other.
They kissed like a 'real' mother and daughter.
After a few seconds, the two let go of each other.
Ling Mei apologized, "Xingchen, announcing your engagement to that brat was a bit abrupt. I didn't have time to invite your parents. I'll come and apologize in person someday."
Xia Xingchen was silent, his eyes were wandering, as if he was trying to escape.
Gong Bingye came to the rescue in time, "Mom, let's talk about this later!"
In a blink of an eye, he saw the dishes on the table and said, "Look, there's such a large table of dishes. If we don't eat them now, they will get cold."
"Look at me, I'm so happy I'm dizzy." She pulled Xia Xingchen to sit down, "Xingchen, come, sit down."
The four of them sat down.
The dining table was two meters long, and there was a servant standing next to each person to serve.
The four servants poured wine for each of them.
Ling Mei raised her glass first, "Come, wish our Xingchen a happy engagement."
The other three also raised their glasses and shouted together: "Happy engagement."
After dinner, Gong Bingye asked the servants to move Xia Xingchen's quilt and clothes to his bedroom with confidence.
That night, Gong Bingye was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
Xia Xingchen didn't sleep much either.
So, the next day, both of them went to Gongxia yawning.
At the same time, Gong Leng also learned the news that Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen were engaged, and also knew that Xia Xingchen was the creative master Shuang Xia.
"It seems that this little girl is not simple!" Gong Leng sat in the office, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his eyes were full of hostility.
He took out his cell phone and made a series of calls, "Have you found the person?"
Receiving a negative answer, Gong Leng flew into a rage, "I give you two weeks to find the person for me. If you can't find him, don't come back to see me."
After hanging up the phone, Gong Leng tightly grasped the phone in his right hand, with veins bulging.

In the afternoon, Xia Xingchen was taking a nap. When he was drowsy, his cell phone rang. It was Yi Ke calling.
There was no one in the lounge, so she answered the phone directly. Soon, Yi Ke's voice came from the receiver, "President Xia, we found out that Jing Naisheng gave Zhu Ling's invitation."
Xia Xingchen: "Jing Naisheng?"
She didn't know this person.
Yi Ke explained over there: "She is the second daughter of Jiashi Entertainment and the younger sister of Mr. Jing."
Xia Xingchen nodded, "What is the relationship between Jing Naisheng and Zhu Ling?"
Yi Ke: "The two of them have no intersection, but although the invitation was given by Jing Naisheng, but... there was also someone else in the middle."
Xia Xingchen: "Who?"
Yi Ke: "Song Yixuan, according to the information we received, it was Song Yixuan who asked Jing Naisheng for the invitation and gave it to Zhu Ling."
"So, Song Yixuan has found a backer." Xia Xingchen said calmly. Although she didn't understand why Jing Naisheng wanted to find Song Yixuan, she knew that those who could stand on the same side as Song Yixuan were all birds of a feather.
It wasn't enough that Song Yixuan had lost Zhu Ling, now she has also lost Jing Naisheng. How much she wishes she would die!
After hanging up the phone with Yike, Xia Xingchen continued to take a nap, not taking the matter to heart at all.
She wouldn't take a mere Jing Naisheng seriously.

The lyrics writing competition held by Mu Jin made all netizens know that Xia Xingchen is the creative master Shuang Xia.
Coupled with the popularity of her previous two albums, her status once again rose to a new level, making her the most popular female singer in mainland China.
There are plenty of good resources available.
The first song she wrote in the lyrics writing competition, "The Only One", has now been released and has become a hit.
Although the song was not written by her, the lyrics that tell the story and the sad and long melody allow Zhichen to interpret a heartbreaking and extremely tragic love story with his singing.
Everyone who heard it was moved, especially the young girl who had just suffered a breakup, for she felt heartbroken.
Mingjie, who was far away abroad, only got the news after the incident happened.
After receiving the news, Mingjie returned to Lidu immediately.
While still on the plane, he called Song Yixuan and Li Wei and asked them to wait for him at the hotel.
Song Yixuan was very nervous when she received the call.
Li Wei, on the other hand, looked like he had given up.
He is in such a bad state now, what is there to be afraid of?
As soon as she saw Li Wei, Song Yixuan regretted it deeply. It was not enough that Li Wei had cheated her once, he cheated her a second time.
If it weren't for him, netizens still wouldn't know that Xia Xingchen was the "Shuang Xia" and Xia Xingchen wouldn't be so popular now, and Gong Nan and his wife wouldn't let her get engaged to the prince!
In the past, she was the one who picked out the resources first, but now, her resources are all the ones left over by Xia Xingchen.
"It's all your fault. If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. Now look what you have done, and you've made yourself look stinky." Song Yixiuan glanced at him sarcastically.
