Jing Xi could not stop her tears even during the filming process because it reminded her of Little Apple.
The filming for that day ended, and Jing Xi was about to return when Lan Lingâer came to meet her.
Lan Lingâer was also working on a new drama at the headquarters. When she heard that Jing Xi was also there filming her new movie, she came to greet her.
Lan Lingâer was no longer the arrogant princess she used to be. Now, she was trying to live her life as an actress to the fullest.
They went to a café nearby and sat down. Jing Xi was willing to befriend Lan Lingâer after everything that had happened.
âI saw that scene you shot just now! It was so touching!â Lan Lingâer complimented.
âYou could do that too,â Jing Xi smiled. âHow have you been doing lately? Do you need any help?â
âNo, Iâm perfectly fine. Iâm here to tell you something.
âWhatâs that?â
âLady White Tea, my aunt, has contacted me.â
âWhat? Do you know where she is?â Jing Xi asked excitedly, almost jumping up from her seat.
âJing Xi, calm down and listen to what I have to say first.â
Lan Lingâer told Jing Xi that Lady White Tea finally came out from hiding and contacted her after going missing for a few months.
Lady White Tea was trying to get to Jing Xi through Lan Lingâer and bring harm to her family.
âSheâs trying to take her revenge through me, but thereâs no way I want to see you or your family getting hurt after all that youâve done for me,â Lan Lingâer said. âI just want to warn you. You should be extra careful.â
âThank you. So this means that you have no way to contact her or find out where she is?â
âYes. She called me with a prepaid card. When I tried to call back after that, the phone was shut off.â
Switching contact methods was one of the basic rules in spying. With what Lady White Tea was doing, there was no way they could track her.
âLingâer, can you help me?â Jing Xi asked after thinking for some time. âI need you to pretend to work with her so that we can lure her out.â
âOf course! Anything you need!â
Jing Xi had Lan Lingâerâs complete trust. If Lan Lingâer were to choose, she would rather stand with Jing Xi and not with her aunt.
âJust agree to whatever she asks you to do first. That way, we can learn what sheâs planning,â Jing Xi said.
âSure thing. Iâll contact you if I learn anything.â
After they came to an agreement, they left the café. Jing Xi went back home while Lan Lingâer returned to the studio.
...
With her job on the way, Jing Xi would always come back and forth from her home and the studio.
Little Grape also grew in the loving arms of the adults. Since he had a weak body, he would get sick almost once every month.
It meant that Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi had to take extra effort to take care of their son.
Their lives began to stabilize as their friends were also leading happy lives one after another.
Yet the comfortable life did not soothe Jing Xiâs worries. It felt like the calm before the storm to her.
