Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An evil intention passed right through Ning Xueluo’s eyes, yet her face looked innocent as ever . She pasted a bitter smile on her face and shook her head .

“Why would I leave if I could make the decision? I’ve been in Starlight for so long that it has become my second home . You’re just like my sister . I wanted to stay in the company too, but…”

Halfway through her sentence, Ning Xueluo suddenly sighed, the wry smile on her face worsening by the second .

“It’s fine . The fact is that I’ve left . Nothing else I say will change the situation, but now, because of me, you’re affected . “

Ning Xueluo stopped and looked at Han Zixuan oddly as if she had just said something she should not have .

Han Zixuan was not stupid . It was obvious that Ning Xueluo had something else to say and that it was related to her . She would never let this go, so she quickly held Ning Xueluo’s hand tenderly . “Vice CEO Ning, what happened? You’re the one who brought me up . Can’t you trust me?”

Ning Xueluo shook her head . “Zixuan, you’re like my sister . There’s no way I don’t trust you . It’s just that the times have changed . In the past, I could protect you no matter what happened, but now…”

“I don’t want to tell you because I don’t want to involve you . After all, I can’t even protect myself now . “

What?!

Ning Xueluo’s words shocked Han Zixuan . Ning Xueluo was now the daughter-in-law of the Su family . With her position, who could pose a threat to her?

Unconsciously, Ning Xi’s face flashed through in Han Zixuan’s mind . Was Ning Xi the reason for Ning Xueluo’s retirement? Could it be…

Han Zixuan looked at Ning Xueluo in doubt . She hesitated for a while, then asked, “Is it Ning Xi?”

Ning Xueluo’s shoulders trembled when Han Zixuan mentioned the name Ning Xi . She lowered her head and put on an expression as if she had suffered a lot and was just surviving it .

Ning Xi again?!

Han Zixuan was determined that it was related to Ning Xi based on Ning Xueluo’s reaction .

“That witch messed with you? You were the top star back in the days . If it weren’t for her, you’d never have to quit . You’re already out of the industry and she’s still pestering you?! Just how shameless is she?!” Han Zixuan responded angrily . She was not exactly sympathizing with Ning Xueluo; it just so happen that their common enemy was Ning Xi .

Her anger was real .

Ning Xueluo observed Han Zixuan’s reactions . Obviously, she knew what Han Zixuan was thinking about, but she did not show it . She looked up with a bitter smile and peered at Han ZIxuan with her helpless and lonely eyes as she patted her flat stomach with her hand .

“It’s not her fault . It’s my own problem . I got pregnant some time ago . Su Yan is worried that I might be too tired, which is why he wanted me to leave Starlight and focus on the baby . “

Ning Xueluo hesitated with a lonely and forlorn vibe lying in her tone .

“You’re pregnant?” Han Zixuan’s eyes flew wide open . She quickly changed to a joyful tone . “Congratulations, Vice CEO Ning is really blessed! CEO Su loves you so much and you’re having his baby now . CEO Su must be treasuring you even more from now on . I’m envious!”
