Chapter 228 - Modern Cinderella
The next morning, the moment Song Xing Xing arrived at the studio, she was quickly being pulled away to another room. She did not have to look to know that the person who was dragging her away was her friend, Liu Yu Sheng.
As they turned to a corner, Song Xing Xing caught the sight of Ning Yan watching them with worry.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the quiet room. After ensuring that the was no one around, Liu Yu Sheng locked the door and turned to her friend again.
"Song Xing Xing, you better explain everything to me now," Liu Yu Sheng spoke." Before I am satisfied, we won't be leaving this room."
Song Xing Xing let out an anxious laugh. "Producer Ming and everyone else could be looking for us."
Liu Yu Sheng waved her hand.. "You don't have to worry about it. Ning Yan will handle everything. If it is something important, he will call."
Song Xing Xing rubbed at her temple. She was starting to get a headache at the situation. Taking a deep breath, Song Xing Xing finally calm down and took a seat. "Alright. Ask away."
Liu Yu Sheng tapped her fingers on the table. "How long has it been going on?"
Song Xing Xing stared at her friend who was standing beside her with a dazed expression. She had this feeling as if she was in an interrogation room and Liu Yu Sheng was the bad cop.
She quickly snapped out of her trance and answered, "A few months?"
Liu Yu Sheng stared back at her friend with an apparent shock. "A few months! And you had kept this a secret from me for a few months." Her steps halted as she seemed as if she had realized something. "Oh my God, Song Xing Xing!"
"What?" Hearing her tone, Song Xing Xing began to panic.
"That time, when we were on that trip to that fishing village. You went for walk and returned with a man's coat. You mentioned liking someone. That person is President Lu Xun?"
Song Xing Xing had not expected that her friend would remember this incident. "Mhm..."
Liu Yu Sheng gasped. After a while, she started to laugh happily. "Good for you, Xing Xing!"
Song Xing Xing was a little dumbfounded by her friend's reaction. This was not how she had expected Liu Yu Sheng to react.
Why does it seem as if her friend was very excited by this news? It doesn't seem very normal, right?
There was a bright smile on Liu Yu Sheng's face. "You like him and you get to be together with him. Don't you think that it's amazing?"
Of course, Liu Yu Sheng was under the impression that Song Xing Xing was someone like her: from a humble family.
Liu Yu Sheng thought that it was amazing that her friend managed to be with someone like Lu Xun. For people from the working class like them, it really does feel like Song Xing Xing was the modern Cinderella.
Most of the girls dreamed of living such a life, right?
Having a rich boyfriend is something that most girls would dream of, right?
However, Liu Yu Sheng was still worried about her friend as well. After all, Song Xing Xing and President Lu Xun were from two different worlds. If she wanted to continue to be with someone like their big boss, she will have to be patient as there will be a lot of things that she will have to face.
President Lu Xun is someone with a lot of fans.
When his fans find out that he was dating someone an ordinary girl like Song Xing Xing, they will definitely make a lot of noise. They were not going to like that the two of them were together.
Liu Yu Sheng might have known Song Xing Xing for a few years but she was sure that she knew her friend's personality well.
Song Xing Xing was not dating President Lu for his wealth and fame. However, just because Liu Yu Sheng believes in her friend, it doesn't mean that everyone else would think the same.
Once the netizen found out that the two were dating, Song Xing Xing will have to face a lot of criticism from the people she did not know.
Liu Yu Sheng was worried that Song Xing Xing would not be able to face those things when the time comes.
As she recalled their conversation yesterday, Liu Yu Sheng became worried again.
"Xing Xing, are you sure that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with someone like President Lu?" Liu Yu Sheng asked. "I'm worried that a lot of people were going to harass you and tell you that you some nonsense."
A faint smile appeared on Song Xing Xing's face. She could guess what was her friend worrying about. Her heart warmed at her friend's concern and care. "It will be fine. Lu Xun had promised that he will protect me well. I trust him."
Of course, Song Xing Xing could not say anything about her family's background. At this time, even if she had told her friend the truth, Song Xing Xing had a feeling that her friend was not going to believe her words.
After all, she has been under this disguise for years.
"It's good that you are very positive about it." Liu Yu Sheng heaved a sigh.
After observing her friend and President Lu Xun's interaction last night, Liu Yu Sheng could see that Song Xing Xing was head over heels for their boss. Even if she said too much at this time, her friend would not listen.
Someone who was in love like Song Xin Xing would not listen to reasons.
"Xing Xing, if you need any help, you can tell me or Ning Yan, alright? Whatever it is, we will do our best to help you."
"Yu Sheng, thank you."
The two girls stayed in the small room for half an hour where Liu Yu Sheng spent her time interrogating Song Xing Xing.
Ning Yan watched as the two girls walked out of the room and heaved a sigh of relief. He exchanged a glance with his girlfriend and knew that Liu Yu Sheng had finished with her interrogation. He walked over to the girls and smiled at Song Xing Xing. "Don't worry. We won't tell anyone about your private matters. If you need any help, you can come to us. We can cover for you."
Song Xing Xing thanked the couple and went back to her seat. At this time, she was a little relieved that she had let the two of them know about her relationship with Lu Xun.
Heaving a sigh, Song Xing Xing picked up her phone. Her gaze flickered when she noticed that she had received a message from Huo Yun Chen.
