Chapter 1383: I Want to See You

The two siblings chatted comfortably for a while.
The rare tranquility didn’t last long as Tan Ying came to visit.
He was now Xia Yingluo’s agent and had a lot of things to talk to her about every day. Today, he came and said, “Tidal Magazine wants to ask you for an interview. They plan to make a special topic about the noble ladies, making a comprehensive comparison from the aspects of appearance, career achievement, character, and reputation. I agreed on your behalf.”
Tidal Magazine was one of the top high-end magazines with a wide circulation, but it was authoritative.
Xia Yingluo blinked. “That’s interesting. Which ladies are being interviewed?”
“You, Gu Jinxiu, Pei Yan, and Wang Anan, the daughter of financial tycoon Wang Mingrui, Ouyang Xue, the daughter of the Internet empire Ouyang, and Li Yuqi, the sister of the Jewel Queen Li Jing. They are all big families in the Chinese circle,” Tan Ying said.
Xia Yingluo thought it was probably true. If the comparison objects were too bad, Tan Ying wouldn’t have agreed to let her go.
However, she was surprised that Gu Jinxiu was included. “Gu Jinxiu has been so unlucky recently. Would she agree to be compared?”
Tan Ying laughed and gloated. “People are so eager to make a report that they don’t necessarily have to interview her. If she refuses, it will also be a report based on other information.” This report was nothing more than a description of ladies in general, and there was nothing too secretive. They just had to pull photos from other places and talk about what the lady was doing.
After all, if she refused to report, it was still Gu Jinxiu who would suffer. Who knew what the magazine would write?
Xia Yingluo was very clever and understood Tan Ying’s key point immediately. She smiled. “She’s really unlucky.” The timing of the report was very important. If it had been a while ago, Gu Jinxiu was about to hold an immense wedding ceremony and the report would have been enviable. But now? She was humiliated and her face fell to the ground, so how could she not be considered unlucky?
Xia Yingluo accepted the interview happily.
The interview was conducted in her small garden, and the housekeeper carefully prepared an English afternoon tea for them.
The reporter sent by the magazine was very happy with her, and admired her for her speech and cultivation. He couldn’t help saying, “Ms. Xia, even when among the other noble ladies, you’re too outstanding. I interviewed so many people, but you’re honestly the most beautiful and the most knowledgable.”
Xia Yingluo smiled. “You’re flattering me.”
The reporter chatted happily. “It’s no wonder you have so many admirers. Some time ago, Mr. Wei also…”
He was shocked to have drifted away from his script and quickly changed the topic.
Xia Yingluo, however, keenly grasped the keyword. “Mr. Wei? Wei Lingnan? What happened to him?”
The reporter was awkward. “Nothing, nothing.”
Xia Yingluo narrowed her eyes slightly. “I don’t like it when other people hide something from me.” She was a big missy held in the palm of others since young, and she was so charismatic at this moment that the reporter was stunned.
The reporter said, “I… I can’t say. I overheard it.”
“What did you overhear?” Xia Yingluo continued to tempt him. “Tell me, or I’ll just go to your magazine to ask myself.”
“Don’t!” The reporter panicked and cried. “Ms. Xia, please don’t go. I will be stripped off my title by the editor-in-chief! I, I’ll just tell you…”
“Tell me.”
Thus, the reporter opened his mouth bitterly. “The other day I passed by the editor-in-chief’s office and heard her talking to someone inside. She said, ‘Mr. Wei, rest assured, I will arrange someone to do a comparative report between the two ladies. It’ll definitely be traceless and satisfactory.’ I was curious at the time, so I took note of it. Within a few minutes, a gentleman walked out of the editor-in-chief’s office, and it was Mr. Wei Lingnan.”
Wei Lingnan was not a celebrity, but his recent scandal with Xia Yingluo and Gu Jinxiu was so popular that he became a noticeable figure, and had been recognized by the keen reporter at a glance.
Xia Yingluo was stunned. “This report was made by Wei Lingnan?”
The reporter said, “I don’t know. I only overheard those words. Probably… maybe… yes.”
These few words were very self-explanatory.
Xia Yingluo regained her senses and asked, “You said ‘two noble ladies’. Is the other one Gu Jinxiu?”
The reporter was still bitter. “I really don’t know. When the editor-in-chief issued the task, there were six ladies on the list.”
Xia Yingluo understood it immediately. It was probably because comparing just the two ladies alone would be too obvious. To find a good name, the magazine had found four more people. She had mixed feelings inside. She should be annoyed about Wei Lingnan’s involvement, but somehow she felt a little sour. What did Wei Lingnan want to do? Help her deal with Gu Jinxiu?
Once he knew she was the queen, his attitude turned really fast.
“Ms. Xia, Ms. Xia?” The reporter called her carefully.
She then looked back from her contemplation and said, “It’s okay. This interview was very enjoyable, just follow the report we talked about. I’m tired and want to take a break. I’ll ask the housekeeper to accompany you out.”
The reported nodded and went out.
Xia Yingluo’s eyes became clearer. She took out her cell phone and dialed Wei Lingnan’s phone. “I want to see you.”
She was clear now. So what if he wanted to curry favor with her? He only courted the status of the “Queen”, not as herself, Xia Yingluo or Ah Luo. She didn’t need such a courting.
It took a long time for Wei Lingnan to come.
He also brought a woman, Gu Jinxiu.
She glanced at Gu Jinxiu, who had her hands and feet tied on the ground. Xia Yingluo’s gaze turned to Wei Lingnan. “I didn’t tell you to bring someone else.”
Wei Lingnan bowed his head and said, “Sorry. I thought Your Majesty wanted to see her punished.” Since last leaving the Xia family, Wei Lingnan had been following her news secretly. He was very clear on the conflict that happened when she returned to the city and met Gu Jinxiu. That was why he asked the magazine to plan the report. On one hand, he could punish Gu Jinxiu, and on the other hand, he could increase her popularity and collect more energy for her.
“Your Majesty?” Xia Yingluo noticed the change of his title keenly. “Do you still have this queen in your eyes?”
Wei Lingnan didn’t say anything.
He remembered that on the last day on the Skatana Planet, he had broken through the barriers of the army into her residence, looking at her aggressively and smiling with satisfaction. “You are mine, Ah Luo.” He really didn’t treat her as a queen, she was just his Ah Luo.
But now he dared not do this.
The explosion made him understand how tough Ah Luo was, and he was afraid that he might accidentally lose her again.
He didn’t have the courage to wait for billions of years again.
