Flirting

Song Cheng Ling pushed open the door and immediately noticed that Dong Gang seemed displeased. She smiled and asked:

"What's wrong, President Dong? Is there a problem with Xiao Xiao's contract?"

Dong Gang immediately changed his expression, forcing a smile as he replied:

"How could there be! Our Xiao Xiao has won the female lead role in 'Feng'! Get ready, Luo Bing wants us to sign the official contract tomorrow."

Song Cheng Ling was stunned to hear this. She secretly thought: So it's clear now, taking shortcuts is still the fastest way after all...

Previously, she and Dong Gang had tried their best just to secure the second female lead role for Xiao Xiao. But now, a single word from Chen Zheng could easily bring her the female lead role. She couldn't help but sigh.

Although it didn't feel quite right, this opportunity still needed to be seized, otherwise all their efforts would be wasted.

Lin Xiao Xiao slept until three in the afternoon before waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Song Cheng Ling announce the good news that she had received the female lead role. Although not surprised, Xiao Xiao didn't show any particular expression.

Lin Xiao Xiao understood Chen Zheng's personality very well. For women who actively approached him, Chen Zheng would never let them suffer a loss. But he also wouldn't go too far, just keeping things within limits.

At this moment, she took out her phone and saw Chen Zheng's morning message: "Have you arrived at the company, darling?"

She replied: "It's quite embarrassing, I'm still sore, I just rested at the company until now!"

Immediately, Chen Zheng messaged back: "So, do you want to go somewhere tonight?"

Xiao Xiao secretly smiled, continuing to chat flirtatiously. In the end, the two made plans to meet again that evening.

That night, Xiao Xiao went to Chen Zheng's villa and had a romantic candlelit dinner with him. After the meal, they were once again entwined and inseparable. When the fun was over, Xiao Xiao leaned her head against his chest, her fingers gently tracing circles on his chest, saying with a shy expression:

"Godfather, did Xiao Xiao put you at a disadvantage?"

Chen Zheng was surprised, he looked down at her and asked:

"Did someone say something to you?"

Xiao Xiao smiled charmingly:

"No one said anything, I just know it myself. Originally, the female lead role belonged to Sister Xiao Fan, but now it's changed because of me. Won't Godfather be gossiped about by many people?"

Chen Zheng chuckled and asked:

"So what do you want?"

Xiao Xiao waited for this exact question, then cunningly smiled and replied:

"I don't need to be the female lead! I just need Godfather's love!"

The next day, as soon as Song Cheng Ling met Xiao Xiao, she noticed that she looked visibly thinner and tired, her eyes couldn't hide her sleepiness. She sighed worriedly, saying:

"Xiao Xiao, I can help you cover it up today, but what about later? Do you plan to continue down this path, forever in an ambiguous relationship with Chen Zheng?"

Xiao Xiao smiled faintly, wrapped her arms around Song Cheng Ling, paying no mind to her reproaches. But in her heart, she secretly thanked Song Cheng Ling for always worrying about her.

That afternoon, Dong Gang received notification that the female lead role had returned to Xiao Fan. If he wanted to reclaim the role for Xiao Xiao, the company would have to compensate 18 million for breach of contract. This left him both angry and helpless.

Anyone who knew Dong Gang well knew that he had a special past with Xiao Fan, his ex-wife. It was because of Xiao Fan that he had once been wholeheartedly devoted to the company, investing all resources to build her career, but in the end, Xiao Fan chose her own path and gave up everything.

He still carried an unspeakable grudge in his heart. And now, just when he thought he could see her suppressed, he had failed again. That thought made him even more heartbroken, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked out at the street.

Song Cheng Ling received Dong Gang's call and felt her ears ache from his anger. She had to reassure him and promised to adjust the plan. Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao quietly smiled. For her, this path had only just begun.

Deep down, she knew that in this life, she would never let herself be as passive as before. The road ahead was still very long; she was ready to face any challenge, as long as she could be by Chen Zheng's side and protect the important people in her life.
