A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

She weakly looked at Pei Ziheng and asked, “Is the child ok?”

Pei Ziheng turned cold. He was just showing concern for her, but once he heard her ask about the spawn of the devil immediately after she woke up, he was boiling with anger again.

“It’s not dead. Such a pity.” He said.

Xia Ling did not expect him to answer her like that. Looking at him, tears flowed out.

This small life was hard to come by. It did not have the protection of its biological father and had to live under the surveillance of another man. Was it really able to survive?

Seeing her cry, Pei Ziheng felt more agitated. “The child is safe. Why are you still crying? Let me tell you, Xia Ling, you’re my wife now. Don’t cry for irrelevant people.”

“I’m not your wife.” Xia Ling weakly said.

Pei Ziheng replied, “You’ve already signed the marriage certificate.”

“I didn’t sign it.” Xia Ling protested stubbornly.

“You’ve signed it.” Pei Ziheng took out the marriage certificate for her to see. On it, the name “Ye Xingling” was clearly written in black ink.

This was inconceivable to Xia Ling. She clearly remembered that before she fainted, she only drew a scribble on the document. In fact, the scribble was still there! However, what was with the extra signature there?

“I did not write that at all!” Xia Ling said angrily.

Pei Ziheng’s voice was very gentle. “Since you’ve already signed it, and it’s registered in the system, from now on, you’re my legal wife. No one can change that.”

Xia Ling shook her head and refused to admit it. “That’s not my handwriting!” How could she marry him like this? She was forced to sign it without anyone asking her if she was willing or not!

Pei Ziheng calmly replied, “You can try doing a handwriting verification.”

You’re reading on NovelFull Thanks!

Xia Ling became disappointed. The signature on the marriage certificate was very similar to her own handwriting. She guessed that it was signed by Pei Ziheng instead of her. In the beginning, Pei Ziheng taught her to write, so their handwritings were very similar. They could be faked without much effort.

Even if she did a handwriting verification, she was afraid that it would not be able to distinguish the real from the fake.

“You’re despicable.” Xia Ling spat.

However, Pei Ziheng said, “I promised you that I would allow you to give birth to that spawn of a devil. You also promised to marry me. It’s a fair agreement as we both agreed on the terms. If you break your promise, I can also break mine.”

This threatening sentence again.

Xia Ling was speechless. Suddenly, she felt dispirited and turned around.

Pei Ziheng sat beside the bed for a while. After seeing that her condition was stable, he got up and left.

Outside the ward, Chu Chen had arrived some time ago and was waiting there with the chauffeur. He was always very meticulous when serving his master. Whenever his master had troubles, he would appear immediately to help him out. At this time, he said respectfully to Pei Ziheng, “Congratulations on a happy and everlasting marriage, Boss.”

Pei Ziheng looked at his loyal subordinate and felt much better after being downcast just now.

His lips curled into a smile and said that he would look for someone to give him a red packet tomorrow.

Chu Chen also smiled and thanked him. Amused, he asked, “Will there be wedding candies?”

“Of course. How can there not be?” Pei Ziheng said. “I’ve already given them to the entire office. Oh, and also…” He slightly paused for a moment. His smile vanished, and his expression became somewhat gloomy. “Send one to Li Lei.”

What was the boss trying to do? Show off?

Chu Chen was shocked. This was so immature, how old was he… No, he probably never did this before. It looked like that Ye Xingling was really different and had a very important position in the boss’ heart.

Chu Chen thought about it, he bowed his head and acknowledged him.

Skyart Entertainment.

Recently, Li Lei was in a bad mood. The media was filled with reports about Xia Ling and Pei Ziheng’s wedding, and there were also many photos from different angles of them walking side by side as they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and of Pei Ziheng carrying Xia Ling out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He helped her avoid the cameras, and it looked like there was a great tenderness between the couple.

He tore up all of those newspaper reports and threw them in the rubbish bin.

Outside his office, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Li Lei said curtly.

The person who went in was Su Tang. She was holding a large gift box in his hand. “Young Master, your package.” She gestured gracefully and spoke to Li Lei using her warmest tone.

Originally, she had been far removed from Li Lei’s side. Luckily, due to the commercial war between Skyart Entertainment and Imperial Entertainment, Li Lei lacked subordinates and transferred her back as his special assistant. Su Tang had always been a clever woman and knew very well that she had offended Li Lei greatly when she sabotaged Xia Ling. Now that she had returned, she was especially cautious and did not mention anything related to Xia Ling in front of him.

However, this time, this situation could not be avoided.

Today, when she went to the front desk of Skyart Entertainment, she saw a large group of people surrounding it.

She frowned and was irritated by the group of people blocking the way when she heard a staff member scream with joy. “Special Assistant Su. It’s Special Assistant Su!”

A large group of people looked at her with different expressions, and suddenly, she felt very uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong?” She asked while remaining in an elegant stance.

“There’s a package for boss over there.” One of the staff members pointed at the front desk.

Su Tang looked at the direction she was pointing at and saw a luxurious gift box on the marble table on the front desk. It was very large, sparkled, was adorned with pearls and roses and decorated with pink lace. There was also a big love balloon tied on the handle.

A strong princess style.

This is… young master’s package?

Su Tang almost fainted. No matter what, this did not correspond with the young master’s style.

The young girl at the front desk stood up respectfully and whispered to Su Tang, “It’s from Imperial Entertainment. A wedding candy.”

Her statement was short, but Su Tang immediately understood why so many people had gathered around. Recently, the news of Imperial Entertainment’s chairman Pei Ziheng and actress Ye Xingling going to the Civil Affairs Bureau spread like wildfire. Everyone knew that Li Lei was Ye Xingling’s ex-boyfriend. Thus, sending a wedding candy to him was a way of showing off.

What revenge and what resentment?

Su Tang had a headache. The young master was in a bad mood at this time. If he saw such a big box of wedding candy, he would go crazy. She really did not want to deal with his wrath, so she instructed the front desk girl. “Throw away this wedding candy. Don’t let the boss see it.”

The front desk girl looked at her with some distress.

“What’s wrong?” Su Tang was annoyed.

The front desk girl sighed and said, “Boss specifically said that you are not allowed to intercept anything delivered to him. He said that he would deal with those items himself.”

Su Tang was slightly startled. After that, her expression became as cold as a jade.

What was wrong with Li Lei? Did he not trust her? In the past when she was serving him, she had the right to screen what to report and what not to report. However, what about now? Even if he let her return to his side, why did he start to take precautions and become so distant?
