Pei Ziheng did not speak.

The girl in front of him was so beautiful, with a singing voice so sweet it was like the sound of nature. It was extremely easy for her to become more powerful than Li Bingyu. However, that meant…

“Brother Pei, why aren’t you talking?” Xia Ling looked at him cautiously. “Am I too stupid to become more powerful than Sister Li Bingyu?”

“No.” Pei Ziheng returned to his senses and comforted her. “Brother Pei will help you become more and more powerful. Don’t think too much over it and just listen to my arrangements.”

“Yes!” The little girl felt reassured and nodded.

Pei Ziheng fell into deep thought.

For a few days, he was ill at ease and made a few mistakes when the company conveyed instructions. This was something that had never happened before. His confidant Chu Chen looked at him cautiously. “Boss, do you have something on your mind?”

Pei Ziheng frowned slightly and rubbed his temples. He was silent for a long while before saying, “Xiao Ling wants to become powerful.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Chu Chen could not understand. “When you first picked her up, didn’t you already want to cultivate her into the next head of Imperial Entertainment? Now that she’s self-motivated, you’re getting twice the effect with half the work.”

Pei Ziheng felt frustrated but did not know where this kind of irritability was coming from. He used his long-standing self-control to calm himself and said, “If she wants to become stronger, she has to attend the training camp. The training camp is a boarding system.”

Chu Chen finally knew where the crux of the issue was. Pei Ziheng did not want Xia Ling to leave his side?

He couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” Pei Ziheng was unhappy.

Chu Chen controlled his laughter. “Haha, Boss, you’re really…” He thought of how to phrase his thoughts. “This is probably the mood of a worried parent to a child? I heard my mother say that when she sent me to boarding kindergarten, she had cried secretly a few times.”

Pei Ziheng stopped rubbing his temples. Could it be that he had become an effeminate woman like Chu Chen’s mother? How long had it been since Xiao Ling had been fetched from the orphanage? However, at the thought of her leaving his side—even if just to stay at a boarding house, the reluctance in his heart was still unable to dissolve.

“You are the Chairman. You have the final say.” Chu Chen stopped laughing at him and gave him a suggestion seriously. “You can let Miss Xia attend a day school. The training camp side wouldn’t object.”

Wasn’t it just using his privileges, it wasn’t anything big.

Pei Ziheng had been in a state of confusion over the matter, but Chu Chen saw through the problem and his suggestion was like a sudden flash of insight to him. “Yes, I can let Xiao Ling attend day school!” His gloomy expression dissipated. He stood up and strode away with big steps.

Back at home, Xia Ling wore a cotton bear pajamas and greeted him. “Brother Pei, Brother Pei! You’re back!”

Pei Ziheng looked at her gently. “What are you doing?”

“I learned etiquette from Ms. Sofia in the afternoon. She praised me for learning well! She rewarded me by letting me take a rest in the afternoon, so I went outside to pick a lot of wildflowers. Then I took a shower and was about to take an afternoon nap when I heard Nanny Zhou opening the door for you before I fell asleep. So I came down!”

“Disobedient.” He caressed her soft long hair, his voice full of affection. “Let’s go, Brother Pei will accompany you for your afternoon nap.”

“Okay, okay.” The little girl was very happy. She tugged onto his sleeves and went upstairs.

He said to accompany her for her afternoon nap, but actually… he was really accompanying her for her afternoon nap. Xia Ling climbed onto her bed and covered herself with her blanket obediently while Pei Ziheng set up his stuff on a desk beside her bed to handle official duties.

Xia Ling stared at him and called softly, “Brother Pei.”

“Yes?” He averted his gaze from the official documents and asked.

“The thing I told you last time…” She was a little apprehensive. “What method do you have to make me more powerful?”

Pei Ziheng had come back home early today because he had set a decision on this matter. At the moment, his eyes brought a hint of a smile, but he wanted to tease her. “Guess?”

“I can’t guess it.” The little girl simply couldn’t fall asleep. She got up from the bed. “Anyways, I want to become very powerful. I want to sing well, dance well, have lots and lots of fans, I want to be better than Sister Li Bingyu in everything! Yes, I want to become a big star!”

The little girl was finally clear on her dream.

“Yes, then become a big star,” Pei Ziheng said gently. He told Xia Ling about Imperial Entertainment having a training camp that was specially designed to cultivate and train the future big stars. He told her she could go inside and learn how to become a big star.

Xia Ling cheered. “I knew Brother Pei would have a way!” Then, she asked, “What do I have to do to get into Imperial Entertainment’s training camp?”

Pei Ziheng said, “I’ll inform the training camp side. In a few days, you will join the freshmen of the year.”

“The freshmen?” Xia Ling was very curious. “Are there a lot of people?”

“There are a lot of people every year,” Pei Ziheng explained patiently to her. “Imperial Entertainment’s training camp is the best training camp in the entire entertainment industry. It’s a holy place for all the children who want to become big stars. Every year’s examinations are very strict. We screen through them layer by layer and only those who pass the screening can enter the training camp. But even so, there are many people.”

“Screening? Do I have to go through it too?”

“You? You don’t have to,” Pei Ziheng said. “You’re my person.”

“Oh…” Xia Ling hugged her pillow and rolled over on the bed for a while before she raised her head and looked at Pei Ziheng with sparkling eyes. “Brother Pei, I want to enter the screening.”

“Why?” Brother Pei frowned slightly. If it was any other child who heard that she would enter Imperial Entertainment without screening, she would be over the moon, so how could she want to be part of the screening? “The screening has very fierce competition.”

“I…” Xia Ling bit her lip. “I just want to see if I’m actually good. You all say that I sing well, but I’ve yet to properly compete with others.”

“Didn’t you win in the last ‘Midsummer Lady’ competition?”

“That’s because of you,” Xia Ling said. In the flower banquet, even though Pei Ziheng had told all the Young Masters to hide the truth about voting for her from her, she couldn’t stop her enemies from telling her!—Pei Jingyu and Pei Jingshan couldn’t wait to tell her after finding out the truth. They had even scolded her for being shameless.

“I want a fair competition based on my own strength.” She looked pleadingly at Pei Ziheng. “I don’t want others to scold me for relying on you.”

“Who scolded you?” Pei Ziheng’s tone was a little heavy.

“Sister Jingyu and Jingshan they all.” Xia Ling bit her lip again.

“Okay.” Pei Ziheng did not say much, he simply told her, “I’ll get someone to help you with the registration procedures for the training camp. You just prepare well for the competition.”

“Yay!” The little girl cheered. “Thank you, Brother Pei! Brother Pei, you’re the best person in the world!” She smiled. Her bright smile seemed to be able to dissipate all the dark clouds in the world.

Pei Ziheng looked at her with some disappointment. The longer he stayed with her, the more he felt that…

His little girl was really beautifully alluring.
