Chapter 106 - She's Still Her
n
n
nNing Meng was stunned.
nHuo Beichen, as she remembered him, was a really old-fashioned man. Since when did he start to use memes like “Nun of yer biz”?
nNing Meng: Was your phone hacked?
n
n
nHuo Beichen: No.
n“…”
nNing Meng could feel that seethingly cold aura seeping out from the screen of her phone. This man… he must be pouting because she had only talked to the puppy boy, ignoring him!
nNing Meng hurriedly replied: No, no! How can it be none of my business~ I can’t sleep if you don’t sleep.
n
n
nHuo Beichen: ?
nNing Meng: Because my heart resides in yours, hubby~
nThen, for quite a long time, the phone showed that he was typing his message.
nAfter waiting for quite some time, the message was still not sent.
n
n
nNing Meng started to get worried.
nCould it be that her kiss-assery earlier was not potent enough?
nMeanwhile, at the hotel.
nHuo Beichen was quietly staring at the “How can it be none of my business~” on his phone.
nShe knew… she knew…!!
nShe knew what “Nun of yer biz” meant.
n
n
nA while later, he put a hand on his face.
nHe could feel that his eyes were tearing up, and yet, he could not hold in the smile that was spreading across his face.
n…
nIt took 30 minutes for Huo Beichen to be able to regain his composure.
nHe looked at his phone again and typed in his reply: Sweet dreams.
n…
n…
nNo reply. Perhaps the girl was already fast asleep.
n
n
nHe scrolled up to look at her lame sweet-nothings. The corner of his sexy lips tipped up into a smile while the corner of his eyes turned red.
nLiar.
nAnd so, he had trouble falling asleep.
nIt was one of the majestic Huo Beichen’s longest nights. He sat on his sofa as thousands of thoughts ran through his mind.
nA few hours later, the morning kicked in.
nHis phone vibrated.
nHuo Beichen, who had not slept a wink at all, suddenly felt a rush of energy in his spine. He quickly picked up his phone.
nIt was Ning Meng’s message: Good morning, hubby~
nHuo Beichen: Good morning. Did you sleep well?
nNing Meng: Of course. I slept like a baby~ because you were visiting me in my dream.
nA warm smile covered Huo Beichen’s cold face.
nStill as lame as always.
nHe felt a massive sense of relief after seeing this message. He had been worried for nothing.
n
n
nAfter a long night’s sleep, she was still herself.
nShe had not gone missing… She had not disappeared.
n–
nHaving fulfilled her duty to pacify her hubby first thing in the morning, Ning Meng lazily kicked off her blanket to wake up.
nAfter washing her face, Ning Meng walked to her canvas, preparing to continue on with her drawing. Suddenly, she received a call from Lin Qingbei’s manager.
n“Ms. Ning, today, Lin Qingbei needs to head to the TV station to film some segments and pick the song he will be using in the show.”
nNing Meng replied while setting up her canvas, “Okay. Go ahead then.”
nNo matter how much of a c*nt Su Tiantian was, she could not do anything drastic in the public’s eyes.
nThe manager stuttered nervously, “But… I… it’s my wife… her water broke and she’s in labor… I…”
n“??”
nNing Meng understood what the crisis was now.
n“Then go to the hospital. Family comes first. You don’t have to keep watch over Lin Qingbei for now.”
n“But this is Qingbei’s first time participating in a reality TV show. There are so many veterans participating alongside him too. I fear that if anything goes wrong, without anyone by his side, he might not be able to handle it.”
nLin Qingbei was just an idol under the employment of Lemon Entertainment. If something went wrong, he would need someone to make important decisions for him—PR, legal issues, and etc. Sure, he still had his personal assistant by his side, however, if there was a need to negotiate with the TV station’s authorities, the personal assistant could not step out of his bounds to do the talking.
nSeeing that she had nothing better to do anyway, Ning Meng comforted him. “Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll go.”
n“Oh, I thank you on behalf of my wife, Ms. Ning!”
n“…”
nHence, Ning Meng drove straight to the TV station. After waving her ID at the entrance, she walked straight toward the participants’ rest area to find Lin Qingbei.
nThe show would begin soon. The stage would be broadcasted live nationwide while the organizers ran an online poll for the participants.
nThere were 7 veterans sitting in their own VIP resting rooms while the show director was holding a meeting to decide the songs that were to be played the next day.
nNing Meng was unable to find Lin Qingbei right away and unfortunately, she saw Su Tiantian first. As she was walking toward the resting area, the door was suddenly opened and Su Tiantian walked out, escorted by a group of people.
