After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 79: Chapter 79 It Must Be an Illusion

After dropping a command, Leng Zimo’s gaze fell intently upon her face, his dark eyes filled with brooding anger.

He had only been gone for a few minutes, and she was already in trouble.

This damn bratty girl, was she trying to anger him to death?!

Luo Xiaoqian swallowed hard and raised her right hand, looking like an obedient, well-behaved child.

”I promise to protect it as I would my own life, where I am, the key is, if I die, the key does not die!”

Of course, that was just lip service, as inside, she was still grumbling.

Could she be blamed for this? Did he think she wanted to run up the stairs in her bare skin? It was all his fault. If he hadn’t insisted on taking her with him, would she have forgotten the key?

Leng Zimo let out a snort of laughter and casually tousled her hair with his hand.

”I’m leaving!”

And then, he truly left.

Luo Xiaoqian, however, stood frozen in front of the shoe cabinet, starting to space out.

That feeling just now, it was so familiar!

She remembered as a child, whenever her father left, he liked to hang the key around her neck and pat her head. But... after that one time, he never came back.

She hopped down from the shoe cabinet and pulled open the door.

”Leng Zimo!”

Leng Zimo, already at the elevator, turned with a puzzled look.

”That... you must come back, no, what I mean is... come back early!”

Leng Zimo paused, then his lips naturally curved into a smile, his already stunning face gained a few extra unusual glimmers from that smile.

”Okay!”

With that promise, he stepped into the elevator.

He, he, he... he’s smiling?!

It must be an illusion, definitely an illusion!

No, he must be mocking her. She actually told him to come back early. That jerk definitely thought she couldn’t bear to part with him.

Couldn’t bear to part with a bird, she wished he would never come back!

Luo Xiaoqian slapped her forehead, ”Luo Xiaoqian, you idiot, why did you tell him to come back early!”

...

...

In the following days, training became increasingly intense.

The semi-finals were fast approaching, and everyone was practicing as much as possible, focusing on dancing and singing aside from eating.

With Leng Zimo gone, Luo Xiaoqian threw herself even more intensely into practice.

Of course, to invite the wrath of Yama Raja, she specially set three alarms on her phone, calling him once in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

Sometimes he would answer and sometimes he wouldn’t. When he didn’t, she would breathe a sigh of relief and hang up after three rings.

Perhaps due to her diligent practice, or perhaps due to Leng Zimo’s tips, Luo Xiaoqian finally made a breakthrough in dancing.

On the evening of the fifth day, during the dance class’s solo performances, Luo Xiaoqian danced remarkably well.

All around there were rounds of applause, with Xu Xia clapping her hands vigorously, just short of whistling and cheering, while Shen Xinyi and a few others still looked on with sneers.

”Very good!”

Tong Ya, who was always hard to please, also gave her high praise.

After everyone had performed, Tong Ya clapped her hands to gather everyone.

”Today will be the last lesson of your training. Of course, this does not mean that your training is over. Tomorrow you will rest, and from the day after tomorrow, we will start field rehearsals at the rehearsal site. This semi-final is very important for every one of you. I hope you all perform well!” Tong Ya slowly surveyed the group, her gaze finally lingering on Luo Xiaoqian’s face for several seconds, ”I know you have been working hard and I have seen your progress. I am honored to have been your mentor and to fight alongside you. Now, class dismissed!”
