Chapter 961: The Fate of Life
At this moment, Xu Zhiqing is resting on the tatami, her light gauze dress draping like clusters of clouds, surrounding her body.
From the side, you can see the curve between her back and waist, like a sleeping beauty waiting for the prince to wake her with a kiss.
Xu Zhiqing sighed softly, full of unhappiness.
She felt her time had frozen ten years ago.
When Yang Fei lost his memory, all happiness, all vitality, were frozen in that moment.
So many years have passed, yet she has never truly moved on.
In countless dreams, Xu Zhiqing saw the eighteen-year-old boy smiling and holding her in his arms.
But each time she woke, she had to face the cruel reality of Yang Fei losing his memory and treating her like a stranger.
How many decades does a woman have?
And the most beautiful decade of Xu Zhiqing's life had passed, all for the youth in her heart.
Reluctantly admitting it, Xu Zhiqing was already twenty-five years old.
Of course, within these ten years, Xu Zhiqing had grown from an inexperienced fifteen-year-old girl to a dazzling superstar, red-hot as the Queen of Heaven.
Her influence even encompassed the whole of Asia.
Every success of Xu Zhiqing, the person she most wanted to share it with was Yang Fei.
However, this man had inexplicably lost his memory.
Yang Fei's identity was special, and although Xu Zhiqing missed him, she dared not contact him lightly.
Even making a phone call would lead to talks with certain leaders.
Xu Zhiqing understood it was for her safety and Yang Fei's, so she silently accepted it.
Over time, Xu Zhiqing got used to secretly placing Yang Fei in a corner of her heart.
That corner was like a small house, only inhabited by Xu Zhiqing and Yang Fei.
Sometimes, when Xu Zhiqing accidentally saw Yang Fei, beneath her forcibly maintained calm demeanor was an overwhelming surge of joy.
She even felt grateful to the heavens that she could still see Yang Fei, the man she could never forget for a lifetime.
Outside, the sunlight gently streamed in,
through the gauze-like curtains, already blocking the ultraviolet rays, dyeing Xu Zhiqing's face in a warm yellow.
And now, Xu Zhiqing began missing Yang Fei again, a bittersweet pain in her heart.
Xu Zhiqing's agent, Sister Lan, gently pushed open the door.
At a glance at Xu Zhiqing's appearance, she sighed.
"What's wrong, thinking about that bastard again?"
Xu Zhiqing lay quietly, looking at the drifting white clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the sky as blue as a wash.
Sister Lan frowned, aware of the man in Xu Zhiqing's heart.
However, in the ten years she had managed Xu Zhiqing, she had never seen the man Xu Zhiqing secretly loved.
In Sister Lan's view.
With Xu Zhiqing's popularity and charm, even becoming the Queen of the Royal Family's crown prince wouldn't be an issue at all.
What kind of man could make Xu Zhiqing so unforgettable?
"Zhiching, you've already turned down three engagements, you might be interested in the next one."
"Your 'Romantic Beauty' needs a female supporting role; Starlight Entertainment recommended a newcomer, why not…"
Xu Zhiqing turned around and lazily sighed.
"Sister Lan, I am very tired…"
Sister Lan's words were cut off by Xu Zhiqing's refusal.
In this afternoon full of longing, Xu Zhiqing only wanted to be with the man in her heart's small house.
Sister Lan sighed.
"Alright, have a good rest. You must not miss tonight's important launch event."
Xu Zhiqing continued to quietly look outside at the clear sky without speaking.
Sister Lan shook her head and left Xu Zhiqing's lounge.
For this meeting, Starlight Entertainment spent a lot.
However, since Xu Zhiqing was unwilling to meet, Sister Lan knew she couldn't force it, only sighing regrettably.
16th floor Mingzhu Tower, Leisure and Entertainment A Area, Island Coffee House.
Yang Fei, Chen Ke, and Si Ruoxi had been waiting for a full hour.
Yet the Sister Lan invited by Chen Ke had not shown up.
Yang Fei grew bored, took out his phone, and played a game.
He knew that the person he was meeting today was from Xu Zhiqing's side, so he refrained from unpleasant words.
Otherwise, he would likely have been grumbling long ago.
Just then, a group of girls, chattering, entered the café from outside the private room.
Upon close look, these people were freshly debuted artists, some had just graduated from drama college, their faces still youthful.
This group of artists rushed into the café, took a private room, and ordered something to eat.
From their conversation, they'd been in meetings and training until now, without eating, all terribly hungry.
At this moment, outside the private room, a beautiful girl walked into the café.
Her eyes showed maturity beyond her age, yet her face deliberately held an air of innocence and purity.
Yang Fei was stunned as soon as he saw this woman.
"Yang Qiqi??"
The woman's eyes turned cold as soon as she saw Yang Fei.
"Yang Fei, why are you here?"
Yang Fei found it inexplicable.
This woman was no simple person.
From the start, an internet celebrity, boosting her fame thereafter, endorsing for Yalan Fashion, and later connecting with the Moon Goddess Xu Zhiqing.
If nothing unexpected had happened, this woman could very likely become a superstar, but she happened to meet Yang Fei.
This haughty woman had her star dreams crushed by a single comment from Yang Fei.
Later, she sought revenge by getting involved with the playboy Long Shaoyang, urging him to hire an assassin against Yang Fei.
After Long Shaoyang's downfall, this venomous woman's whereabouts became unknown.
The last time Yang Fei saw her, she had become a meek girl, a concubine to a rich businessman.
Fate is unpredictable,
and Yang Fei encountered this venomous beauty Yang Qiqi here again.
Resentment, fear, and astonishment flashed across Yang Qiqi's face before quickly fading away.
She approached Yang Fei with a gentle, friendly smile, extending her hand as if they were old friends.
"I didn't expect to see you again, Brother Fei. How have you been?"
Yang Fei ignored her and sat down.
"I didn't expect to meet you in Mingzhu Tower either."
"What, have you gone back to your old business?"
Yang Fei's tone carried a mocking tinge, but Yang Qiqi seemed not to understand it.
She smiled sweetly, her tone very friendly.
"Yes, I've signed with an entertainment company, developing my career here."
Though Yang Fei wasn't a gentleman, he wouldn't press a woman unnecessarily, so he simply smiled in response.
"That's nice."
Yang Qiqi smiled slightly, her tone subtly restrained.
"I know this place quite well. After all, we're friends. Do you need any help?"
As she said this, Yang Qiqi could no longer hide her pride.
"I recently shot a film; you might have heard of it, called 'The Queen Arrives'.
"I'm the lead, and I've some influence in the industry now."
Still one more chapter, will update tomorrow.
