Hu Lei spent the better part of the morning discussing the upcoming promotional tour and the progress of her novels with Bo Qian. Overall, the novels were doing well and the response was mostly positive. So readers had complained about the sowhat significant change in style, and there were even so rumours of the use of a ghost writer.
However, these were small murmurings which did not have impact on her popularity. Therefore, Bo Qian did not think it was necessary to respond. It would only draw more attention to these naysayers and cause an even bigger problem.
Hu Lei updated him on her latest work, though she did not go into details. She was quite uncertain about the direction that the book would take, especially with the interference of the other her. In any case, the book was not urgent.
"What if this is my last book?" Hu Lei asked as Bo Qian escorted her out of his office.
Her tone was light, but she knew that she was not joking about this matter. There was a subtle sense in her heart that told her that she might not be able to continue being Little Ninja Cat. She had begun writing under unusual circumstances, and it had never been her dream to be an author.
"Do not make such frightening jokes." Bo Qian rebuked sternly as they stepped into the lift.
"Ha-ha… would it be so bad?" She asked.
"You are a treasure. If you stop writing, you will attract even more hatred from the masses." He frowned.
"Perhaps I will write such a moving final book, and the masses will immortalise as a goddess." Hu Lei laughed lightly.
Bo Qian thought that Hu Lei was in a strange mood, but he did not comnt further. He could only hope that she was joking about abandoning her identity as Little Ninja Cat. Their descent halted and the doors opened, revealing a familiar person. Hu Lei smiled imdiately.
"Little Hu Lei, I have not seen you for so long." Song Yin also smiled at Hu Lei.
"My life has been a little chaotic. You know this already." Hu Lei responded.
"But you rejected my offer for help so cruelly and ignored ." Song Yin looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Hu Lei laughed a little in guilt. Song Yin had reached out when she had been in trouble and a couple of tis afterwards. But she had not given a response. She always forgot to respond to her ssages, and often, she responded to them in her head.
"How about I treat you to lunch as an apology?" She tried to pacify the beautiful lady.
Song Yin finally showed true happiness on her face.
"Hello, Miss Song." Bo Qian, who had been completely ignored, finally spoke up.
Song Yin turned her face to him and smiled at him.
"Forgive my rudeness, Chief Editor. How are you?"
Hu Lei could not help noticing the unusual joy on Bo Qian's face. Moreover, the tips of his ears were a little red. Could it be that this man had so interest towards Song Yin? She felt fascinated by this potential discovery.
"I am well. It is good to see you. I didn't know that you were around the building." He responded quickly.
"It wasn't a business visit. I ca to wish a friend a happy birthday." She smiled politely.
Hu Lei felt a little sad for Bo Qian because it seed that the goddess was not thinking anything romantic about him. The elevator stopped, and they all stepped out. After a short conversation, the two won left the poor sad man alone.
"What do you think of Bo Qian?" Hu Lei asked with shining eyes.
The two beautiful won were seated in an inconspicuous booth in the corner of a noodle shop. According to Song Yin, they had the best noodles in Supre. But that was probably her subjective opinion. However, Hu Lei had to admit that they were not bad.
"What about him?" Song Yin replied nonchalantly.
"Don't be like that." Hu Lei huffed. "You know what I an."
She did not get out much, so she definitely needed to capitalise on every morsel of gossip available.
"I already have a boyfriend." Song Yin responded, but her attitude seed to discourage more questions about the topic.
Hu Lei looked at the beautiful woman and saw traces of sadness and even a sense of disillusionnt in her eyes. It did not look like the kind of face anyone would make after saying that they had a boyfriend. However, it was not her place to dig deeper. She could only hope that things would work out for her.
"Did you know that I am going for a tour tomorrow?" She asked, changing the topic.
Song Yin looked relieved at this welco turn in conversation. Her romantic situation was sothing that she did not want to discuss. Even though she liked Hu Lei, she felt that this part of her life was too private to share.
"That is so exciting. I once participated in a promotion for a drama. It can be fun, but most celebrities can be terrible." Song Yin made a face. "There is this actress I will not ntion, but she was a complete nightmare for everyone. She would not allow anyone to stand on her right side during the events because it was her 'good side'."
Hu Lei reviewed the actresses in mind because she had watched the drama which had been based a Carefree Dreams' book. She started to make guesses. Unfortunately, she could not co up with a conclusive answer because she knew that things were not always as simple as they appear on the surface.
"You should be careful during this period. Do not be taken advantage of, especially by that Bei Gong Hai. I think he was involved in that matter. Even though he made a statent in your favour, the circumstances were too strange. I am sure he had so hidden motives." Song Yin added with a small frown.
"I know. I will naturally be careful. Did I tell you that I t his sister this morning?" Hu Lei said with a gleeful face.
With this new topic, they had a light-hearted conversation until their al concluded.
