Fates Intertwined / A Faint Smile Beneath the Clouds

The woman's beautiful face had a pair of fox-like, alluring eyes that made one feel dizzy and want to bury their head in them.

However, no one knew that her current appearance was merely a disguise.

If she were to appear in her true form, she would exude an aura of a queen, high above and unapproachable, inspiring no one to dare to disrespect her.

The female receptionists at the front desk had been on high alert ever since they saw the woman get out of the "car".

As the person entered, several people quickly stepped forward to greet them respectfully.

"Hello, General Manager Lan!"

Qiu Yelan simply nodded casually at the somewhat flamboyant array, a faint smile on her face, causing the few new recruits to blush and their hearts to race.

"Wow~ Could that beautiful woman be General Manager Lan from New Moon Entertainment? She's so gorgeous and sexy!" A handsome young man exclaimed inwardly.

A moderately famous male celebrity happened to overhear this while passing by and couldn't help but scoff, "Newcomer, huh? Let me tell you the truth, Sister Lan is only a part-time general manager here, and she only comes on weekends. You hardly ever see her during the week."

"The general manager... can also hold a part-time job? That's outrageous!" The handsome young man exclaimed in surprise.

"They have connections; they were sent from above. Knowing too much won't do you any good. We only called this meeting today because we heard there was something important to announce."

"Newcomers should have the awareness of newcomers, practice diligently and steadily, and not always think about those opportunistic tricks. They're useless, at least not here," the handsome man explained briefly, kindly reminding him.

The boy nodded, then suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar. After a moment's thought, he was startled.

"You... you're the Minotaur who plays the second male lead in the recently released drama, 'Reborn Soldier King in the City'?!"

Chapter Seventy-Two: Fate and Destiny Intertwined

"Attention everyone, the young lady and her friends will be here for rehearsals these next couple of days. If anyone accidentally offends or bumps into them, they can pack their bags and leave. Please be mindful and take this as a warning!"

Inside the practice room, Qiu Yelan gathered a group of people and gave them a few brief instructions to prevent any potential accidents.

After the meeting, the celebrities were led away by their respective agents. The rest of the attendees were mostly newcomers and trainees, all of whom were quite good-looking, at least a 7 out of 10.

"Huh? Who was Manager Lan talking about just now?" a young new employee asked, puzzled.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down. Let me ask you this: what does the Crescent Economics mean to you?"

"Huh? That's my dream! I finally got into a prestigious film academy and graduated, all so that I could sign with New Moon Entertainment and become an actor, maybe even a big star!"

As the largest artist-centric talent agency in Linzhuo, it has an enormous background and a market value of billions. One of my favorite divas even came from here! And because I was able to join the company, my dad was so happy that he bought me an Audi A6L!

This is the life I've always dreamed of! But what does this have to do with that rich young lady?

"Hey, you didn't know that? I heard that New Moon Entertainment Agency is just one of the businesses under the Su Group."

"Which Su Group? It seems there's only one small company in Linzhuo owned by someone with the surname Su. New Moon Company is many times larger than that. It can't be that one, can it?" The young man scratched his head, quite puzzled.

"Hmph, haven't you seen it on TV? It's always on the news."

You mean...?

Halfway through his sentence, the young man seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically. "It's... it's the Su Family from Yanjing?"

Upon seeing the other person nod, he couldn't help but tremble.

Although he was just an ordinary citizen with no access to high society circles, what a prestigious reputation the Su Family of Yanjing!

Even in the whole of China, they are the most elite families. They are often reported on TV news. Ordinary people just watch the excitement. Anyway, they are far away. Who would have thought that the number one brokerage company in Linzhuo is an industry under the Su family of Yanjing!

The Su Family is an internationally renowned conglomerate with assets exceeding ten trillion yuan and countless industries under its control. The entertainment industry is merely a small part of their business and can be almost ignored.

"If what Manager Lan just said was simply what it said literally, then wouldn't the person who came be...?"

Thinking of this, the young man dared not think any further. He felt his scalp tingle and his spirit tremble. This was someone whose mere tremor could shake the entire Linzhuo!

The eldest daughter of the Su Family has arrived in person; even the mayor wouldn't dare to neglect her!

But when he thought about the significance behind it, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

How could a mere trainee like him have the opportunity to meet such a legendary figure?

Just for this alone, he can brag about it to his friends for the rest of his life!

At this time...

Su Xiaoxiao was still fast asleep in bed. She was sleeping in a bad position, lying on her back with her legs in the air, and drool was dripping all over the headboard.

Last night, she was doing a cosplay performance by herself. She was wearing Ling Luoluo Lolita dress, and her two thighs, covered in white stockings, looked exceptionally fair and smooth, making one want to touch them.

Tossing and turning in bed...

The next second...

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a cry of "Ouch!"

Su Xiaoxiao...

Woke up?!

In the next room, Luo Xiyan was lying on her side on the bed, her slender fingers supporting her cheek as she looked at Ling Mengxue, the little lazy cat, sleeping soundly. Her eyes were gentle and tender, and a faint smile graced her face, yet it also carried a hint of charm.

Her long, messy hair was slightly disheveled and fell across half of her face, tinged with pink from deep sleep. Beneath her arched eyebrows were long, curled eyelashes, and her pink lips were glistening. Her breathing was even, radiating an inexplicable tranquility.

Just look at him, he's so cute!

Even after changing her clothes, Luo Xiyan only wanted to lie quietly on the bed, watching Ling Mengxue's sweet sleeping face, which made her feel very happy.

Touching her snow-white skin, her delicate white arms, and her hair that resembled a vast expanse of white snow, it felt like a dream, yet so real.

"If only time could stand still at this moment..."

Perhaps it was because of the cool, slender hand stroking her face that Ling Mengxue's consciousness cleared slightly, and she squinted her still somewhat sleepy eyes.

When she saw that Luo Xiyan was smiling at her, she immediately blushed.

She tugged at the blankets, trying to hide a little deeper. Last night had been a bit wild, and she was now completely naked under the covers, not wearing a single piece of clothing. It was incredibly embarrassing!

This girl has so much energy! She was so exhausted that she drifted off to sleep!

As she shifted her body slightly, a fleeting look of pain crossed her mind.

Waaaaah~ How long has it been? It's happening again so soon? It feels good, but it hurts so much~

Although that's what she thought, she couldn't help but believe it. Staring directly at Luo Xiyan, she said in a low voice, "Next time it's my turn. Every time you succeed, I almost never get a chance..."

Don't you like it?

"But, but I can't always be the one suffering. It's my turn next!"

"Hmm? That works too."

Luo Xiyan nodded slightly, her smile remaining unchanged.

Seeing this, Ling Mengxue felt a strong sense of shyness and dared not let her continue the topic. Her thoughts shifted, and as if she had thought of something, she became somewhat worried.

"But how are we supposed to get married? How are we going to explain it to our parents?"

"Don't worry, no matter when or where, I will face it with you."

Luo Xiyan didn't care whether she was dressed or not, and pulled her hand into her arms.

The cool yet gentle and soft touch instantly spread throughout Ling Mengxue's body, making her feel a tingling sensation, as if an electric current was flowing through her, and she dared not move an inch.

Without warning, her delicate face immediately turned even redder, like a ripe peach.

"Xiaoxue, do you want a child? If you do, you can have one now, but we can only have a daughter."

She paused for a moment, then smiled, "If you want it, I'll let you be born in your next life~"

"!!"

Hearing Luo Xiyan's gentle words, Ling Mengxue silently swallowed, her heart turning utterly cold.

"Giving birth... is it very painful?"

"Well, there might be 'a little bit,' but I feel sorry for Xiaoxue, so if you really want it, just give it to me when the time comes."

"No! I feel sorry for Xi Yan too~ Let's not do it. If there really is such a plan in the future, then... then I'll just have to do it..."

Ling Mengxue hugged him even tighter, her face showing a wronged expression that looked like she was about to cry.

Luo Xiyan covered her mouth and laughed. Actually, if it were to be nurtured using magic, all she had to do was carry the "Life-Origin Orb" with her at all times.

But right now, it's definitely a bit early.

Chapter Seventy-Three: A Gentle Smile Amidst the First Clouds

After Luo Xiyan helped Ling Mengxue get dressed, the two went downstairs together.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao had already been sitting on the living room sofa watching TV.

Upon seeing the newcomer, she smiled slightly and looked at Ling Mengxue, saying, "Xiaoxue, did you have fun yesterday? Did you grasp all the essential points?"

Ling Mengxue blushed slightly, looked away, and ignored her.

This surprised Su Xiaoxiao. Noticing that the girl's walking posture was a bit off, she silently swallowed and didn't dare to ask any further questions.

She was probably bullied. Looking at Miss Luo's smug smile, she could roughly guess what had happened.

Luo Xiyan brewed them a pot of tea and took out some bread and milk from her Destiny Space for breakfast.

When she's out and about, she can eat whatever she wants, or she can simply use her points to replenish her energy without needing to eat.

She used to drink alcohol for days on end, completely losing her appetite and desire for food.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao kept covering her face, she felt a little strange. "Xiao Xiao, your face... is very red."

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just bumped into it by accident."

Make up any excuse (`へ?), you can't just say you fell off the bed while you were dreaming this morning.

How embarrassing!

"Xi Yan, it's not good to eat only this for breakfast. I'll go make you something."

Ling Mengxue sat to the side, her red lips slightly pursed, her face flushed with shyness, making her look extremely cute and charming.

For some reason, Su Xiaoxiao became somewhat engrossed in watching.

If she actually goes on stage after that, won't she make all those male fans swoon?

Fox spirits! Two fox spirits!

Since that's the case, how about changing the style a bit? How about a more glamorous or alluring look?

Absolutely explosive!

Seeing that Ling Mengxue was about to get up after speaking, Luo Xiyan pressed down on her thigh, which was covered in white stockings, not wanting her to tire herself out any further.

He kissed her fair and delicate cheek and said gently, "Let me go do it. You stay here and rest. It's good for you to chat with Su Xiaoxiao."

After saying that, he immediately headed towards the kitchen.

Watching this flirtatious scene, Su Xiaoxiao felt somewhat gratified, but still incredibly annoyed!

This is so difficult! Am I destined to be a third wheel?

"You two have such a great relationship!"

Ling Mengxue was speechless. "Sister Xiao Xiao, be serious for once. At least that's what I hope for."

"Hey, let's get down to business. Our team is mainly divided into two categories. Idol singers, of course, need to sing, while Xi Yan is in charge of behind-the-scenes music and instruments. She doesn't like to appear on stage in public, so you can probably imagine the scene... tsk tsk..."

"So, what should I do? I'm a complete novice, so it's mainly up to you guys." Ling Mengxue said with a serious expression.

"Hey, don't panic, it's nothing serious. Dancing, singing, singing and dancing are all fine. Dancing and singing at the same time is all part of daily life. Youth idols are full of energy, right?"

I remember there's a very famous girl group called "Miracle Idols" in Linzhuo. I heard they're both Magical Girls! If we plan to develop our careers here in the future, we might get to know each other!

"Sorry, I'm not a fan of celebrities."

"Oh dear~ Why are you so stubborn? If we don't want to be fans of celebrities, we can be fans of ourselves, no problem! So, have you thought it through? We have plenty of time, we're a growing idol singing group~"

"Although I don't really understand it, it sounds impressive." Ling Mengxue said earnestly, showing respect.
