Chapter 55: Pointed Words (Additional Chapter, Seeking Recommendations)

  Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, the wind and rain were getting heavier, tonight was really terrible! Xia Xuan felt a bit restless, her face showed a fearful expression, she persisted in taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

  "Xuan Xuan, it's already been nearly an hour past the agreed time! What is Lu Lingfeng trying to pull off!" Old Ma looked out at the heavy rain and then kept glancing at his watch, feeling anxious beyond measure. His son had urged him multiple times already.

  "Little Brother Ma, you go first! I'll take care of things here!" In comparison, Xia Xuan had nothing to do today, so he resolutely took on all the responsibilities.

  "How can you manage all by yourself!" Old Horse shook his head and said.

  "Don't worry, it's all right!" Xia Xuan said with a confident smile.

  "I'll go first, you be careful, if it's late don't come back, just open a room at the hotel under the magazine's name." Old Ma instructed.

  "Alright, alright, I know! Be careful on the road! Don't drive too fast!" Xia Xuan looked out of the window, there were no more cars on the street, the rain was coming down too heavily.

  The old horse picked up the key and hastily left the suite, Xia Xuan leaned on the sofa, deeply immersed in thought. Last night's events, she appeared so careless in front of others, but when alone, still so hurt.

  How much longer will it take for me to walk out of Jiang Jie's shadow? Xia Xian didn't want to recall, but his mind was filled with memories.

  "Miss Xia, long time no see." A magnetic voice sounded.

  Xia Xuan raised his head and looked at the newcomer, Lu Lingfeng!

  Xia Xian's face changed to a smile, he stood up and walked towards Lu Lingfeng, extending his hand for a handshake. However, Lu Lingfeng didn't seem to care, walking past Xia Xian and plopping down on the sofa with a lazy expression.

  Xia Xian raised an eyebrow, what the...! Could this be the chief editor's own brother? Adopted, no less! And this kind of person is considered elite? What the...! Have my eyes gone blind?!

  "Mr. Lu, as a famous and successful person, should know the importance of time!" Xia Xian gave a faint smile, hooked up the corner of his mouth, and didn't put Lu Lingfeng in his eyes at all.

  "Of course I know, so, Miss Xia, please hurry up!" Lu Lingfeng didn't even give Xia Xuan a proper look, his arrogant and rude attitude making Xia Xuan swallow a bellyful of anger.

  "Mr. Lu, please understand that our cooperation is a win-win situation, not just one party asking the other for something. Your attitude makes it impossible for me to continue working, sorry, let's reschedule for another day!" Xia Xuan glanced at Lu Lingfeng with an equally arrogant tone.

  My goodness! Compared with girls, you are far inferior in terms of pride!

  "Let Miss Xia come to interview me, I, Lu Mouren, really don't dare to talk about win-win. Now your reputation is outside, and anyone who has a little relationship with you will become famous! I'm timid like a mouse, I don't dare to show my face." All of Lu Lingfeng's dissatisfaction was revealed in this sentence.

  Xia Xuan is so clever, how can she not understand?! But what does this have to do with her?! She's the most innocent victim, isn't she?! Why doesn't anyone show some sympathy for her?!

  "Mr. Lu, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it outright, why beat around the bush? You should know that some things are beyond one's control." Xia Xuan sat upright in front of Lu Lingfeng, staring at him intently without blinking.

  This guy is really exceptionally good-looking, if it weren't for these messy things, Xia Xian might have admired him with a respectful heart, but now, how can she admire him?

  "It's true, just like the headlines in the news, who knows when someone will push themselves to the top of public opinion." Lu Lingfeng finally shifted his gaze onto Xia Xuan.

  She's no different from any other girl! It's a pity that my own sister treats her like a treasure, but she's just an ordinary mediocre woman with a sharp tongue. If she doesn't have any brains, how can she be an editor?!

  Xia Xian smiled faintly, a calm and unruffled smile, the atmosphere froze at this moment, the entire room was silent for a full minute, with only the sound of rain outside.

  Lu Lingfeng took a deep breath, this girl is quite formidable! At a loss for words, she responded with a gentle and loving smile, turning everything into harmony.

  "There is a taste in human relationships that is pure joy." These seven words struck a chord in Lu Lingfeng's heart.

  What kind of girl is this? She gives people a sense of ordinariness, yet in her words, she reveals an extraordinary and otherworldly temperament that makes one unable to guess, nor dare to guess again. Just like a flash of light deep in the tropical rainforest, mysterious and unfathomable.

  Now looking at the girl in front of him, it's true what his sister said. The attractive thing about her is not her stunning beauty, but her elegant demeanor and temperament, giving people a feeling that transcends the mundane. She can't be described as beautiful, just enough to make one infatuated.

  "Mr. Lu should have appreciated enough, I'll leave first!" Xia Xian smiled lightly, picked up his bag and left the suite, ready to head back to school.

  Lu Lingfeng being the chief editor's younger brother, she didn't need to think too much about her future prospects. The chief editor wouldn't make things difficult for her, at least that's what she thought.

  As she walked to the hotel entrance, Xia Xuan regretted it. The rain was still pouring down heavily, and the shadows in her heart gradually emerged. Fragments of the past flooded her mind, and she covered her head, desperately trying to shake off everything. But could she?

  Since the car accident, Xia Xuan has been afraid of many things, such as rainy days. She never dares to go out on rainy days and usually stays in her dormitory all day when it rains at university. When taking the postgraduate entrance exam, she deliberately chose a city in the north where there is less rain, but despite this, the gloom in her heart has been lingering for a long time.

  She's not only afraid of rainy days, but also fireworks, rings, and the songs that once belonged to both of them. Every time she encounters these things, she's like a wounded little white rabbit, desperately trying to hide and avoid showing her scars to others.
