Chapter 1386: How’s the Progress

The sweet smile on her exquisite face was so naturally fascinating that it was difficult for people to look away.

Lifting her silver-blue dress slightly, she slowly walked, leaving invisible ripples in the air. Her straight back and indifferent look caused another round of screaming from her fans.

Instinctively, she scanned the crowd.

With one look, she saw a man standing in the last row—

That man was leaning on the wall behind him and he was wearing an ordinary s.h.i.+rt and trousers. Although he looked handsome, the way he hid made him look inconspicuous and he was able to camouflage himself in the dark. If it weren’t for Xia Yingluo’s sensitivity that she picked up after hundred of millions of years of battling and her familiarity with her people, she would not have been able to find him, Wei Lingnan.

Why did he come?

She frowned slightly and her smile froze for a moment.

Wei Lingnan, who was hiding in the corner, realized that she had seen him. He looked at her with an apologetic gaze and it seemed that he was begging her not to chase him away. However, Xia Yingluo was in a very bad mood. She placed her hands on the table and subtly gave him a combat signal which ordered him to leave.

Wei Lingnan recognized that hand signal.

He knew exactly what she meant. After all, they fought so many battles that almost cost them their lives together.

However, his feet were rooted to the ground and he could not move an inch. He just missed her too much. Taking advantage of the screaming fans, he could not help but gaze greedily at her face. At this moment, standing here was a rare opportunity for him to take a good look at her and not be driven away. If he did not see her during such a public event, she would definitely chase him away.

Xia Yingluo was fuming mad. This man was becoming too audacious!

Beside her, someone gently touched her arm. “Yingluo? Yingluo?”

She snapped back to reality and finally realized that Tan Ying, who was accompanying her, was giving her a reminder.

It was time for her to speak.

She calmed herself and stopped looking at Wei Lingnan. She smiled at her fans and said, “I’m very happy to meet all of you here today. Thank you for liking ‘Star Wars Era.’ It really means a lot that my entire team’s efforts are not wasted…”

Since she used to be a queen and later learned how to be a public figure during the Imperial Entertainment training camp, she was able to come up with a speech with ease. Her voice was as pleasant as the sound of water. The atmosphere was ignited by her again and everyone was immersed in her speech. When the host or her fans asked her questions, she answered them in good taste.

Many staff members stood in the four corners of the room to maintain order.

Some of them whispered, “Miss Xia really doesn’t look like a star who just debuted.”

“Of course. Don’t you know whose daughter she is? In the past, Mrs. Li’s ability to dominate a scene was already very impressive and no one can match her in the entertainment industry now.” An old worker proudly said, “If we’re talking about someone who can match Mrs. Li’s dominance on stage, only Miss Xia is a formidable candidate.”

The others nodded in agreement. The reality was right in front of them. This girl was too outstanding.

“Did you read the report a few days ago? It was about famous families. In my opinion, Pei Yan is trash and Gu Jinxiu doesn’t have the ability to save her family from its decline. She will only cause more problems for her family. Only Miss Xia Yingluo can continue her mother’s legacy and prove her worth.” They were all employees of Skyart Entertainment and were proud of their Boss’ daughter’s abilities.

“Are you sure?” Another worker calmed down and said, “Madam sings well while her daughter acts well. Is it the same?”

“They’re both in the entertainment industry.” Another worker shamelessly smiled and said, “It’s the same.”

The atmosphere was very lively. Several staff members were relaxed and chatted happily.

Xia Yingluo did exactly what the organizer told her to do in advance and was almost done with what she was tasked to say. However, she was a little worried. Jiang Yu had not appeared yet. Could it be that something happened to him?

The emcee was quite anxious as well. If this continued, they had no more content left!

Seeing the emcee’s face, Xia Yingluo casually started a new topic. Saving the scene was one of her natural gifts. Besides, she was naturally able to adapt to the situation. Such a trivial matter did not bother her. The emcee looked at her gratefully, but he was still anxious. Why wasn’t Jiang Yu here yet?

They were not the only ones worried. Almost an hour had pa.s.sed and even the fans at the event location felt that something was wrong.

During the next fan questioning session, some fans stood up and asked everyone’s doubts. “Yingluo, the advertis.e.m.e.nt said that the fan meeting would consist of you and Jiang Yu. But why isn’t he here?”

“Recently, he has been busy with his jobs and he felt unwell before he went onstage,” Xia Yingluo said.

Immediately, Jiang Yu’s fans were worried and hurriedly asked, “Is he ok? What sort of illness does he have?”

Xia Yingluo was also not sure. Maybe he had a stomachache? However, she was a public figure and could not spread any unproven speculations. She could only calm the fans down and changed the subject to the hards.h.i.+ps Jiang Yu and she faced when they were filming Star Wars Era. “Jiang Yu is a very talented senior. Since it is my first film, I have to thank him for taking care…” Xia Yingluo smiled and spoke fluently. In the corner of her eye, she glanced at the last few rows and saw Wei Lingnan’s face turning darker.

She snorted silently in her heart and was elated that she could get her revenge. Wei Lingnan, are you upset? How can the pain you feel today be compared to one-thousandth of the pain in my heart when you tried to kill me for Gu Jinxiu?

She stopped looking at him and continued to praise Jiang Yu.

Since he refused to leave and wanted to stay here to listen to her praising another man, he could continue to torture himself!

The atmosphere was getting even more heated. She did not notice that Wei Lingnan was clenching his fists tightly.

“Miss Xia, you really hold Jiang Yu in high regard. Can I ask a bold question. How’s the progress of your relations.h.i.+p?” This question should not be asked at a fan meeting, but to save the scene, the emcee forced himself to come up with a new topic and asked a question without realizing it.

Before Xia Yingluo could respond, suddenly, in the southwest corner of the venue, a door burst open.
