After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: What are you pulling at!

Stop pulling that attitude!

”Xinyi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t this time. I’m not with Hermes anymore, and besides, the scoring for this competition is going to be done by 200 randomly selected audience members on site, plus the judges’ scores. You surely can’t plan on buying every one of the thousand audience members an Hermes bag, can you?!” Lin Luoshi pulled her arm free, ”And even if you really did buy them, you’d never escape Leng Zimo’s watchful eye. That man is terrifying. EM is pouring ten million into this competition, and I can tell he really wants to pick out a few truly talented singers. He absolutely won’t let anyone ruin his competition!”

Shen Xinyi pouted, ”So you’re just going to watch me lose?”

”You have talent too. If you can’t be first, then just be second!”

”Letting me lose to that Luo Xiaoqian? No way!”

Lin Luoshi held out her hands helplessly, ”Anyway, there’s nothing I can do. Unless you want me to smash her piano or something?”

Piano?!

A glint suddenly appeared in Shen Xinyi’s eyes.

Right, her song was mainly accompanied by piano, especially that solo part in the middle which was a major highlight. If she could find a way to tamper with Luo Xiaoqian’s piano...

Turning around with her bag in tow, Shen Xinyi took steps to leave.

”Hey!” Lin Luoshi quickly stood up and called out loud to remind her, ”Don’t forget to settle the bill!”

She wasn’t as rich as her wealthy second-generation cousin, and now that she’d lost her job, she had to save where she could.

Naturally, there was no need to maintain any sort of elegance!

...

...

...

World City.

Luo Xiaoqian entered the passcode into the keypad lock smoothly while humming cheerfully to herself, ”Us ordinary folk, oh, are in for a joyous day...”

The door clicked open softly.

She held the doorknob, pushed the door open, and as she hummed a little tune and slipped off her shoes, she bent down to tidy them up. Suddenly, she slumped and stood still, smacking her forehead with her hand.

”Luo Xiaoqian, oh Luo Xiaoqian, why did you come back here? Did you forget you were supposed to move today?!”

She had been so focused and immersed in today’s rehearsal that after it ended, she completely forgot about moving and went straight back to World City.

Glancing at her watch, she heaved a sigh of resignation, lifted her feet out of the slippers, and was about to put on her shoes.

”Where are you going?”

A questioning voice sounded.

By the piano room door, Leng Zimo was dressed in home attire, holding sheet music in one hand and a pencil in the other, his expression rather grim.

Did she want to leave as soon as she got back because she saw him?!

”I’m going to pack my stuff. I didn’t have time during the day because of the rehearsal, and I forgot about it afterwards, so I came here directly!” Luo Xiaoqian explained with a smile.

So, she was going to pack her things.

Leng Zimo’s icy demeanor softened slightly, ”No need to go now!”

”How can that be?” Luo Xiaoqian said as she bent down to pick up the canvas shoes she had just taken off, ”Though those things aren’t valuable, they are treasures to me. I’m not like you, just tossing things aside!”

Had he said anything about throwing her stuff away?!

Leng Zimo raised an eyebrow, ”Upstairs, the gym!”

Luo Xiaoqian turned around puzzled, ”What did you say? What’s upstairs?”

”Idiot!” Leng Zimo turned and walked back into the piano room, slamming the door shut.

”What a snob!” Luo Xiaoqian made a face at the piano room door and walked towards the stairs with a sense of confusion.
