Chapter 467: Chapter 467 He is Redemption_1

Cheng Bingbing pursed her lips without saying a word.

Xia Qingtian immediately understood what she meant.

Even if she got another chance to start over, she would still not choose to wake her up.

She truly had no way of dealing with Cheng Bingbing.

She knew Bingbing was delicate and set in her own ways. No matter how much persuading she did, Bingbing would still do as she pleased, hence Qingtian had no choice but to stay vigilant and motivated.

Xia Qingtian stayed with her in the dormitory for three days, after which she stopped being woken up by nightmares.

She felt immediately relieved.

However, having not stepped outside or seen the sun for three days, Cheng Bingbing looked very stark and lethargic, with a gloomy aura surrounding her.

Xia Qingtian felt that this couldn’t go on. Humans are social animals, we can’t stay home day after day.

Therefore, after Cheng Bingbing’s condition improved significantly, Qingtian tried to bring up the future work arrangements.

Suddenly, Bingbing who had appeared calm, showed signs of repulsion on her face. She said nothing and turned back to her bedroom. She hugged herself tightly, curling up like a quail.

Xia Qingtian followed her immediately, gently and patiently asking, "Bingbing, what’s wrong? Why don’t you want to go out?"

Cheng Bingbing shook her head, "I’m too ugly, I don’t want others to see me like this."

"You’re not ugly, not at all." Xia Qingtian sincerely said, "Just dress up, and you’ll still be the beauty queen of the entertainment industry."

Even though Bingbing looked worn out as if she was wilting, she was still beautiful. There was a shattered tale about her that made people want to cherish and protect her.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t respond as to whether she believed her or not, she just stubbornly kept repeating one sentence, "I’m not going out."

No matter how soft or hard Xia Qingtian persuaded, she refused to give in.

Xia Qingtian didn’t dare to put too much pressure on her out of the fear that Bingbing might have an emotional breakdown after finally managing to stabilize.

All she could do was to keep persuading slowly.

However, this persuasion dragged on for a week.

Cheng Bingbing’s attitude didn’t soften in the slightest, she persisted in staying inside, undeterred by persuasion.

Seeing her becoming more and more haggard every day, Xia Qingtian didn’t dare to push her.

But she really couldn’t continue like this. Let alone her upcoming jobs, including the film they’d worked hard to secure from Director Zhao, even if she didn’t want to work or quit the entertainment industry, she’d still have to go out for her daily routine.

Just as Xia Qingtian was feeling increasingly helpless about Bingbing’s situation, Huo Qilin contacted her.

During this period, both Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing had stopped working.

Usually, even the scheduling of his work was handled by Qingtian’s assistant or other agents in the company.

It was fine for a day or two, but as it kept happening, he realized something might not be right.

"Qingtian, is everything okay with you and Bingbing?" Huo Qilin asked worriedly, "Why haven’t you been coming to the company lately? Have you run into some troubles?"

"If that’s the case, you can talk to me. Our Huo family has influence in A City. We have sway in both the underworld and the mainstream society, and I’m sure we can help."

"We’re fine." Xia Qingtian didn’t want to let anyone know about Cheng Bingbing’s situation.

The fewer people who know about it other than her and Bingbing, the better.

"Then why aren’t yo..."

Huo Qilin paused, realizing that it was not just Xia Qingtian who hadn’t been coming to the company, but also Cheng Bingbing. He found it odd that he had only asked about Qingtian.

He then changed his wording, asking, with some anticipation in his voice, "When will you be coming back?"

He had been missing Qingtian so much during this time that he felt restless. He longed to see her.

As for when they might return, Qingtian couldn’t say either. As soon as Cheng Bingbing overcame her psychological barrier and was willing to go out, they could go back to the office.

The key now was when Cheng Bingbing would be willing to go out.

She didn’t have control over this, so she said vaguely, "We will be back once we’re done with everything. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."

Once finished, she prepared to hang up.

The more she talked, the more likely she was to make a mistake. It’s better to say less.

Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly noticed that Cheng Bingbing, who had seemed indifferent to everything, had raised her head. Although she didn’t look at Qingtian, she seemed to be listening on the side.

As if she was trying to hear what she was talking about.

Xia Qingtian suddenly remembered something; Cheng Bingbing had once told her that she liked Huo Qilin.

Could it be that when she realized that the call was from Huo Qilin, she started to care so much?

Qingtian’s eyes lit up as she thought of a way to cheer Cheng Bingbing up.

While on the other end of the line, Huo Qilin had no idea what she was thinking.

When he heard that she was about to hang up, he responded disappointedly, "Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back."

"Wait, don’t hang up yet." Xia Qingtian, as if she had suddenly thought of something, quickly called out, afraid that he would hang up.

"What’s up?" Huo Qilin asked with some confusion.

Xia Qingtian said with sparkly eyes, "If I’m not mistaken, your work schedule isn’t very full recently, right?"

"Yes." A look of surprise flashed across Huo Qilin’s face.

He didn’t expect Xia Qingtian, who had been away from the company for a while, to still remember his recent work schedule.

Xia Qingtian felt as if the heavens were on her side.

"I think the company’s artists have been working too hard recently, so I’ve decided to organize a team-building outing for everyone to relax for a couple of days. As the top star at the company, you must join to lead the way."

Although her words were directed at Huo Qilin, all her attention was on Cheng Bingbing.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t speak, but she lifted her head slightly higher, apparently waiting for Huo Qilin’s response.

And Huo Qilin didn’t let them down, he agreed readily, "Okay."

Having heard the answer she wanted, Cheng Bingbing went back to lying on her bed, once again reverting to her indifferent-to-everything state.

However, Qingtian has already seen through her. Upon seeing this, she simply chuckled lightly, not rushing anything.

To Huo Qilin on the phone, she said, "I’ll let you know after I’ve confirmed the time and location for the team building."

"Okay," Huo Qilin happily agreed.

After that, Xia Qingtian quickly ended the call, then she continued with her own things. She didn’t mention the trip to Cheng Bingbing.

Meanwhile, Bingbing, who had been lying on the bed in the same position all day without moving, was now tossing and turning restlessly.

Qingtian was sure that Bingbing was affected by Huo Qilin’s call just now.

Qingtian resisted the urge to ask Bingbing if she wanted to join their outing, understanding that she needed to take that step herself.
