A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return-Chapter 1348

Chapter 1348: Overnight Fame

Wei Lingnan asked, “Are you sure?”

Gu Jinxiu slightly squinted and suppressed her emotions. “Yes.”

Thus, Wei Lingnan nodded. “Ah Luo, you’ve been wronged.” He finally relaxed. When he knew that the seed would survive, he suddenly felt happy. However, it was only for a moment. He then criticized himself for having such feelings. What exactly was he hoping for? The birth of Xia Yingluo’s child? That would be betraying the queen.

He unknowingly clenched his slender fingers and sunk his sharp claws into his palm.

Gu Jinxiu walked up and looked into his eyes. “The World Tree is the World Tree, and you are you. I’m willing to let her give birth because she’s pitiful, but I don’t want you to keep missing her. Promise me you’ll stop thinking about her.”

Wei Lingnan held her hand and kissed it. “Yes, my queen.”

Gu Jinxiu smiled.

She still had not lost this battle. Just now, she did not advise Wei Lingnan to let Xia Yingluo keep the World Tree out of sympathy. It was because Xia Yingluo looked for her before and flashed her claws to threaten her. If the World Tree was met with any danger, everything she hoped for would turn to dust. She was afraid that Xia Yingluo was really the queen and could not help but compromise.

She advised Wei Lingnan to give up and stop interfering in Xia Yingluo’s career and pregnancy. In return, Xia Yingluo would not be with Wei Lingnan. The two women would be able to get what they wanted and be happy.

Gu Jinxiu lifted her hand and touched Wei Lingnan’s face. “Nan, you are mine. No one else can steal you away.”

Except for the real queen, Xia Yingluo.

Wei Lingnan looked at her affectionately.

She tiptoed, moved closer and was about to plant a kiss on his lips.

However, even at such a good time, he still turned away. “Don’t be like this, it’s not time yet.”

“Nan?” Gu Jinxiu sounded really hurt and her voice became sharper. “You always say that it’s not time yet, so when exactly will we really be together? I know that there will be rejection mechanism from Earth and there’s only one antidote that you’ve been giving Xia Yingluo. How long are you planning to go on like this? Does this mean we can’t be together until the day Xia Yingluo is dead?!”

Wei Lingnan fell silent. This matter was unsolvable to him.

He could not kill Xia Yingluo over the antidote. Even though he thought of human life lowly, she was different.

Gu Jinxiu raised her chest. Her face turned red as she was emotional. “Say something!”

Wei Lingnan let go of her. “I will quickly figure out the antidote and make a second one.”

Gu Jinxiu was filled with disappointment, but what else could she do? Could she order Wei Lingnan to kill Xia Yingluo? She did not dare to do so. She was afraid that if she angered Xia Yingluo and she revealed her true identity, she would be the one to suffer.

After some thought, she said to Wei Lingnan, “Teach me how to make the antidote, then.”

Wei Lingnan looked at her.

“Teach me how to make the antidote.” Gu Jinxiu’s voice became firmer. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this plan could work. “I am the queen of the Skatana Planet. Learning something like that should be fast for me. Both of us can study it at the same time and it will be better than you doing it alone.”

Seeing that she was insistent, Wei Lingnan also nodded. “Ok. However, this knowledge is a bit complicated. You must be prepared for it.” The science of the antidote was not completely from the Skatana Planet. After he came to Earth, he improved the antidote using original life forms from Earth. Even if Gu Jinxiu understood the energy usage of Skatana Planet, it was not easy to learn about the antidote.

However, Gu Jinxiu smiled. “I’m not afraid of difficulties.”

Although she came from a wealthy family, she was a gifted child and was sent to a top university abroad. As her family produced perfume, she had a Ph.D. in both biology and chemistry. She was excellent in her academics and could improve the core perfume formula of her family. That was why she was the second heir of her family; to be in that position as a girl was not an easy feat.

As such, things kind of settled down. Gu Jinxiu learned how to make the antidote from Wei Lingnan in the lab every day.

From then on, days were calm and peaceful. Even Xia Yingluo was very relaxed.

After eliminating Wei Lingnan’s interference, she quickly became the endorser of Huanisi cosmetics. The head of the Huanisi Asia-Pacific region personally visited her to apologize. He vowed that she would be their endorser for three years and there would not be any more incidents of other people stealing her job.

Xia Yingluo did not give him a hard time.

Besides, the one who gave her problems at the start was Wei Lingnan. Dealing with the small head of a corporation was not that troublesome.

Huanisi was very grateful for her understanding and said that he would promote her well and make sure that her fame would increase. Xia Yingluo thought silently, Isn’t it easy for a newly debuted artiste to become famous because the starting point is low? She was impatient to deal with this and left Tan Ying to manage everything else.

Tan Ying was very skilled at dealing with these things. Very quickly, the cracks on both sides were sealed and it was as if nothing happened.

During spring, Huanisi’s spring advertisement campaign was officially launched.

In the splendid light, Xia Yingluo wore a gorgeous suit of armor. She shone from her appearance. During her close-ups, her exquisite makeup was so captivating that people could not look away. She was a natural spokesperson. Even the sharpness and closeness of the lens did not damage her perfect skin. It was as smooth as a crystal and not a single pore could be seen. The colors of Huanisi’s eyeshadow and blush were as delicate as a dream.

In the city’s business district, major airports, high-end magazines, and clubhouses…

The advertisement with her as the spokesperson could be seen everywhere.

Countless people were fascinated and many people asked, “Who is that girl in the advertisement? She’s beautiful.”

Some people said, “Do you all not know Xia Yingluo? She’s the daughter of Big Boss Li of Skyart Entertainment! She’s also Ye Xingling’s only precious daughter. How could she not be beautiful? She has the best to learn from and was born to be a star!”

“No wonder…” Many people were shocked. “No wonder she’s so beautiful. Her eyes really do look like Ye Xingling’s.”

“Both of them have their own strengths,” someone said. “Ye Xingling is like a clean and beautiful fairy while Xia Yingluo… has an attitude.”

Many people shared this view and the news about her slowly spread. Xia Yingluo’s stage presence was evident like a female soldier returning from the battlefield. There was something thrilling about her cold charm. Few people could develop a temperament like Xia Yingluo as they lived a mundane urban life, and that was why they developed such a deep impression of her. Overnight, many people remembered her face and name.

Of course, some people were jealous and disagreed. Like Tang Yuan, who smashed a table at home.
