Chapter 548: Satin Gown

In some media reports, she was referred to as a “Little Diva.”

The title “Little Diva” spread like wildfire. Very soon, the term was adopted by fans. There were no two ways about it. Her exciting duet with Bai Murong was a testimony. Which other female singer was able to demonstrate such singing power throughout the entire song? Besides, at the Heavenly Voice Music Festival, she was able to emerge victorious after going against the megastar Qin Zifeng. How was this not evidence of her singing prowess?

She was really worthy of the title “Little Diva.”

Bai Murong called to congratulate her. “Not bad. You will soon catch up with me.”

Xia Ling answered the call with one hand and flipped through a report with the other. She smiled and said, “Catch up with you? There are still many people who don’t want me to catch up. Look at these headlines. ‘Little Diva? Bogus Diva? Occasionally extraordinary.’ ‘A title that can’t wait in the impulsive music industry.’ ‘Ye Xingling who was killed.’ These titles are becoming more sensational.”

On the other end of the phone, Bai Murong also laughed. “Do you know how many female stars are jealous of you?” Luo Luo told him that there was a huge uproar in Imperial Entertainment. As long as the female stars gathered together, they would discuss her explosion of fame. They would say that she was not impressive at all and just a broken shoe that was discarded by Pei Ziheng. These female stars were emotional and lamented that their lives were unfair compared to Ye Xingling’s. Initially, she was just a normal small star, but her fate changed when she married Pei Ziheng. She joined an eminent family for a brief moment and, after divorcing him, she still had the protection of Skyart Entertainment’s boss. After this topic exploded in popularity, she stepped on Bai Murong and Qin Zifeng and continued to rise in fame. Without these four men and Wei Shaoyin, how impressive could Ye Xingling be?

Luo Luo was furious and did not like it when others talked about her friend like that. She tried to argue but was ridiculed sarcastically. In a rage, she ranted to Bai Murong for a long time.

Bai Murong did not tell Xia Ling about these twists and turns in the middle.

He only said, “You’re famous now and have to be more low-key. Be careful in the public eye.”

“Yes, I know.” Xia Ling agreed but did not take it to heart.

The world of female stars was no better than the world of male stars. As long as there were people, there would be conflict, comparisons, and competition. All kinds of envy and resentment could not be avoided by acting low-key. However, she would still be low-key and strive hard to reduce the percentage of hatred from 100% to 60%.

She flipped through the itinerary and said to Bai Murong, “Oh yes, Sister Mai Na and your manager have discussed holding a small ‘Powerful Opponent’ celebration party. During this time, everyone worked hard. It’s time to reap the benefits of our hard work. Have you heard about it?”

“Yes, I already know about it.” Bai Murong said. “It’s an event closed to the public. No media representatives will be present as it will only be for us and a few friends. I plan to invite Luo Luo.”

“Luo Luo?” Xia Ling was slightly startled. Luo Luo’s bright and pure smile appeared in her mind. Since when did this little girl become so close to Bai Murong? She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you two very close?”

“Ever since Extraordinary Risks, we have been keeping in contact.” Bai Murong smiled. “She’s quite cute.” Luo Luo looked like a fresh girl-next-door with limited talents and efforts and would never be able to become a legendary diva-like Xia Ling her whole life. However, she was very lovable. Once Bai Murong saw her, his mood improved.

Xia Ling was somewhat alarmed. “You’re such a flirt. Don’t target my friend.”

Bai Murong smiled again. “Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of her.”

He ended the call.

Xia Ling glared at the phone. How could she be at ease like that? Was that jerk dating Luo Luo?

She called Luo Luo. Over the phone, Luo Luo was in a daze after waking up from her sleep. “Xiao Ling… what, are you talking about Murong? Brother Murong is really great… he took me to fish for goldfish…”

Xia Ling quietly ended the call. It seemed that something was going on!

Well, she would use this celebration party to see how far they had progressed.

After finding out that this celebration party was a private event, Li Lei was very happy. He jumped around like a large dog. “I want to go! I want to go!”

Xia Ling couldn’t help but say, “It’s your company. You can go if you want. Who would dare to stop you?”

“I don’t want to go as your boss but as a family member.” Li Lei winked.

Xia Ling touched his head. “Ok, family member. You can go, but you have to be good, ok?”

“I just know that Xiao Ling is the best!” Big Boss said cheerfully and secretly kissed her.

Xia Ling also smiled.

On that day, Li Lei gave her a small dress. It was light blue with layered silk and satin. Dotted with diamonds, it fluttered in the early summer evening.

She paired it with star earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Even her crystal high heels were a new limited edition.

This man, when he was being considerate, was very considerate.

Xia Ling was usually quite calculative when it came to money and would never ask him to buy anything for her. However, from time to time, he would give her gifts such as hand creams, powder, dresses, and bags. Unconsciously, her body was covered with the items he bought for her.

Looking at her dress, Li Lei smiled in satisfaction.

He once said to store away the valuables that Pei Ziheng previously gave her, and she really kept them away, leaving only a few pieces of versatile classic clothing that she bought.

Li Lei knew that she was short of money. Although she earned more than ordinary people as a singer, to maintain her gorgeous and sparkling image, she had to buy more expensive clothes, hire an assistant, and pay for her travel expenses… These were costs that she could not save, especially since she was rising in her career, so she really did not have any money left.

That was why he always silently helped her. Unknowingly, her jewelry box was restored to the standard when she was in the Pei Family and was even better.

How could he let his beloved woman live a worse life than when she was with his love rival?

Xia Ling also faintly knew about his thoughts and did not reject him. She twirled in front of him and asked, “Does it look good?”

“Anything you wear looks good.” He smiled.

Indeed, although she was petite, her body was proportionate and was not damaged after giving birth to a child. She had fair skin and was a perfect beauty. When she wore the light blue dress, she looked like a show-stopping fairy.

Xia Ling also smiled. “That phrase is too overused. Are you just casually saying it?”

“Of course not, I swear.” Li Lei crossed his heart. “I really feel that you look good in everything. You see, I even prepared a bow tie and cufflinks that match with your outfit.”
