"I'll go first." Chen iling was full of anticipation, expecting to see an astonished look on Wu Tian's face when she revealed her profession. She wanted this man to know that the wild tomboy who once followed him around had transford into a beautiful swan.
"? I'm an actress now. Have you seen 'Whirlwind Eleven Soccer'? I play a supporting role in it, alongside Gu Yuege. And I was the lead in 'The Heartless Magician'. I'm actually back in Yang City this ti to promote my new film, 'Beauty in the Box'."
"Really? I've never heard of any of them." But Wu Tian's face showed none of the shock Chen iling had hoped for, only a hint of frustration. He glanced at the little one, who just shook her head and said, "Those shows aren't for ."
"..." Chen iling was disappointed, realizing she had been getting ahead of herself.
Regaining her composure, she asked, "I've told you about . What are you doing now?"
Wu Tian didn't hide anything and simply told her about the Boundless Corporation.
Chen iling had been away filming and had only returned to Yang City at ten o'clock the previous night for a variety show. Now, she was already on her way to another city for more promotional work. She had no idea what the Boundless Corporation was.
"The Qin Corporation," the little one chid in, knowing it was her ti to shine. Her dad's emotional intelligence is too low for him to explain things clearly. At critical monts, it's all up to ! "The Qin Corporation has been renad the Boundless Corporation. Qin Yuhan is my mom."
When the little one finished, Chen iling froze. A mont later, a cry of disbelief escaped her lips.
"Damn!"
I worked so hard, and what about Wu Tian? He just sleeps with a woman and secures a lifeti of glory and wealth. How can life be so unfair? Chen iling was incredibly frustrated.
"iling, who are you talking to?" Just then, another man walked into the first-class cabin.
He looked very refined, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, every inch an intellectual. But his expression was stern and not particularly approachable.
When Chen iling introduced Wu Tian and the little one, he gave a slight nod but imdiately added, "iling, your status is different now. Be careful. Don't let the paparazzi catch you in a photo."
"He's my agent, Wang Renjie. He's a bit strict, please don't mind him," Chen iling said with an awkward smile, explaining to Wu Tian that Wang Renjie had been a top student at Shuimu University.
Even as a celebrity's agent, a man like that carried himself with a certain arrogance.
Wu Tian had no interest in Wang Renjie's credentials.
In Wu Tian's eyes, this man's achievents were trivial. He had witnessed three thousand gods and demons and debated the Dao with beings who reigned supre for all eternity. He had fought life-and-death battles with great prodigies and forged unbreakable bonds of friendship with them. This Wang Renjie... he wasn't even worth a second glance.
"Are you taking this flight to the Jiuzhou Center? I go there all the ti. Want
to show you around?" A thought suddenly struck Chen iling, and her eyes widened with anticipation. It wasn't that she had feelings for Wu Tian; she simply missed her childhood and the mories associated with it.
Now that she was grown, things had changed and people were gone, which only made her appreciate the beauty of her childhood more. She hoped to spend a little more ti with Wu Tian to reminisce about the past.
"Absolutely not." Wang Renjie grew anxious and stepped forward, sternly admonishing her. "iling, don't you understand your current position? You're rising faster than any other new actress. You have a chance to catch up to the ones at the very top. You can't let an elentary school classmate ruin everything. As your agent, I forbid it."
"But..." Chen iling wanted to explain that she acted for the love of it, not for the money.
Before she could finish, Wang Renjie cut her off again. "That's enough, iling. Listen to . I'm going to brand you as one of the new generation's leading actresses. I will—"
"Shut up," Wu Tian cut him off coldly. "Step aside and don't butt in."
He's just an agent. What gives him the right to be so arrogant? Without Chen iling, he's nothing. Yet he dares to upstage her? Truly a man oblivious to his own faults, like a horse unaware of its long face.
Wang Renjie was furious and opened his mouth to argue, but one look at Wu Tian's icy gaze made him involuntarily lower his head and ekly retreat to his seat.
So, he's the type to yell at won but actually just bullies the weak and fears the strong. Wang Renjie? An 'outstanding person'? What a misnor.
Chen iling smiled, not at all angry, and resud her chat with Wu Tian. It was an early morning flight, and as the saying goes, you don't fear an early flight, you fear the terrible food. There's also the concept of "other people's airline als." Others get delicious things like curry chicken and coconut cake. But on this flight, the al consisted of milk, fruit, and vegetables.
There wasn't a single scrap of at, which made the little one quite unhappy.
This is first class! How can the food be like this? Do they think we're monks? It's all vegetarian!
Chen iling wasn't fond of it either. She looked at Wu Tian and finally asked, "So what are you going to the Jiuzhou Center for?"
Their destination was Yuzhou, but most people called it the Jiuzhou Center.
"I have so personal matters to attend to. And I also need to find a sword scabbard," Wu Tian replied calmly. In his mind, there was nothing secretive about looking for a scabbard.
"A sword scabbard?" Chen iling was taken aback by his words, her expression puzzling him.
She smiled and said, "There's a sword competition being held at the Jiuzhou Center. It's not a contest of swordsmanship, just a contest for the swords themselves. And I've been invited to be a judge."
Why would they invite Chen iling to be a judge?
Wu Tian finally took a proper look at her. He had only glanced at her face before, but now, his eyes scanned her from head to toe. He noticed an aura of energy within her very constitution—she had a natural talent for the Martial Skills cultivated by the Jianghu sects, like the Five Surnas and Seven Families.
Could the sa Dharma that was used to steal the energy from Wang Dawan's innate constitution now be used on Chen iling? Wu Tian grew suspicious.
Finally, the plane arrived at the Jiuzhou Center. As they disembarked, Chen iling and Wu Tian exchanged phone numbers.
Wu Tian needed to et Cui Tian, and Chen iling had her own places to be. The little one in Wu Tian's arms piped up, "Goodbye, Sister."
"Goodbye." Seeing the child's adorable and well-behaved manner, Chen iling smiled sweetly. She turned to Wu Tian and said, "Your daughter is wonderful. I've never seen such a well-behaved child."
Wu Tian: "..."
Chen iling didn't understand his expression but didn't dwell on it. She smiled at the little one. "I hope we can et again. Next ti, I'll definitely buy you a toy. So, goodbye for now, little darling." With that, she turned to leave.
"AH!"
Suddenly, a scream echoed through the airport, and the entire terminal descended into chaos.
