Such cute children were gone just like that.

Her body shook, and she almost lost her balance. She heard herself ask, “Two died?”

“The two that took the medicine from you! In the photo!” Lin Yunan was very annoyed with her bad luck.

Her face turned pale.

Thinking about her fate as a widow, could it be that she cursed those small children? She felt that she was crumbling and tried her best to recall which two pictures were taken of her by the photographer. However, too many photos were taken of her that she couldn’t remember the photos that were in the news.

The children’s faces were blurry in her mind.

Tears brimmed in her eyes. With a blurry vision, she walked into her closet filled with high-end ready-to-wear clothes. The smell of leather, dried flowers, and perfume filled the air. However, she suddenly felt that everything was meaningless. Even if she worked hard to become a big star and spent millions on a charity...

In the end, she just hurt innocent children.

Her fingers unconsciously clutched a plain silk satin dress tightly. The delicate dress became wrinkled and ugly in her palm.

Her tears fell on it.

At the other end of the phone, Lin Yunan urged her. “Hurry up! The car is almost there!”

Suddenly, she realized that it was not the time to be sad. Hurriedly, she hung up the phone and changed into a black dress. That long dress was very solemn and formal. It had moderately long sleeves and the skirt reached her ankles. She put on light make-up, tied up her hair simply, matched her outfit with black high heels and a white handbag. She looked like she was mourning the dead and was about to apologize sincerely.

The media was sharp and sinister. She couldn’t let them pick out any mistakes.

After that, she took a deep breath and went downstairs.

A white SUV stopped at the doorstep of her villa.

A strange man walked out from the car and said to her across the fence of the villa, “Miss Ye, quickly get in the car. We were sent by Skyart Charity Fund to pick you up.”

Startled, she was about to push the fence door to get on the car.

Suddenly, someone stopped her.

“Miss Ye.” It was a very low man’s voice.

Xia Ling looked up and saw a large bodyguard. It turned out to be Ah Nuo, Li Lei’s most trusted person. She didn’t know where he came from, but he put himself between her and the SUV.

“Ah Nuo, why are you here?”

“Young Master sent me to protect you.” Ah Nuo said briefly. Ever since she moved out of Li Lei’s apartment, Li Lei sent half of his bodyguards to look after her. Some time ago, these bodyguards settled the Nangong family’s assassination plan in secret and did not let her know.

However, this time, they could not keep her in the dark.

Ah Nuo was worried that due to their negligence, this car was able to enter. Although it didn’t look like killers were hidden in the car, the flashing lights of cameras in the dark car and this man’s shining eyes showed that they were obviously not good people.

“Paparazzi. Am I right?” He turned around to look at the SUV. “Quicky leave. Otherwise, Skyart Entertainment is not easy to mess with.”

Xia Ling was astounded.

Just now, that strange man who invited Xia Ling into the car smiled rather awkwardly. “Misunderstanding. It’s a misunderstanding.” Seeing that they couldn’t benefit any longer, they quickly sped off.

Xia Ling’s heart raced. She was almost fooled into entering that car! If the paparazzi had any evil intentions, it would be too late to cry.

“Ah Nuo, thank you.” Still badly shaken, she thanked Ah Nuo.

Ah Nuo said, “Miss Ye, you don’t have to be polite. This is our duty.” After that, he answered his communicator. A moment later, he said to Xia Ling, “The car that Skyart sent to pick you up encountered a small accident nearby, and they’re still waiting for the trailer. Just now, the car with the paparazzi probably learned of the news nearby and immediately thought of trying to trick you into entering their car so that they could get exclusive news.”

Luckily, the paparazzi was unprofessional when it came to kidnapping and he saw through their plan in an instant.

However, Xia Ling was concerned about something else. The car that was sent to pick her up encountered an accident? Glancing at the time, she realized that half an hour had passed since she answered Lin Yunan’s call, put on her makeup and changed clothes. Lin Yunan told her that the internal media conference would start in an hour. Would she be able to make it?

Just as she was about to go to her garage to drive her Porsche out...

Suddenly, she saw a Rolls Royce stop beside her.

“Get in.” Winding down the rear window, Pei Ziheng’s cold and emotionless face was seen.

Startled, Xia Ling never expected that she would encounter him at this time. Although both of them lived very near each other, she always made a point to avoid him, and they rarely met.

She rejected him. “It’s fine. I have my own car.”

“The whole world knows about your Porsche.” Pei Ziheng said, “Now, the entrance is filled with the media, fans, and angry protesters. If you don’t believe me, you can try going out by yourself. If you drive your car, you won’t get 10 meters away from the entrance.”

She didn’t say anything because she knew that most of what he said was true.

“Are you in a hurry?” Pei Ziheng was calm. “I saw the news. Half an hour later, you have a press conference. Get in my car, I will take you there.”

Xia Ling was in a dilemma and weighed the pros and cons.

Pei Ziheng was also not in a rush and waited for her patiently.

Time waits for no man. A few seconds later, Xia Ling decided and told Ah Nuo, “I will sit in Pei Ziheng’s car. Ah Nuo, don’t worry. I will be fine.”

Ah Nuo heard about her entanglement with Imperial Entertainment’s Boss Pei before and knew that the owner of this Rolls Royce was his Big Boss’ rival. However, desperate times called for desperate measures. Unfortunately, his Big Boss did not send a car for her today and the company car was met with an accident. He quietly prayed for Big Boss as he watched his future Lady Boss get into another man’s car.

Inside the Rolls Royce, it was very quiet.

Pei Ziheng took out a sandwich from the mini fridge in the car. “This news was released very early in the morning. I was afraid that you haven’t eaten breakfast, so I told Nanny Zhou to make a sandwich and prepare fruit juice for you.”

As he spoke, he handed her the freshly squeezed orange juice.

Hearing him, she finally realized that she really didn’t eat breakfast but had no appetite. She only shook her head. “I’m not eating it. Thank you.”

Pei Ziheng gently said, “This sort of news conference is very taxing. This is your first time being involved in such a serious and critical situation, and you have no experience. Do you know that many shrewd questions from the floor can easily humiliate and provoke you into desperation? You must eat something. You will only be able to control your emotions with a full stomach. Otherwise, if you make any mistake, all the effort to save your image will go to waste.”

Only then did she accept his food and ate it slowly.
