Chapter 800: Chapter 800: He is Her Backbone_1

Upon hearing what Xia Qingtian had said, Cheng Bingbing felt as though she had swallowed a tranquilizer pill.

"Okay," she replied with a slow smile, her tone firm. "We’ll do this together."

While the two were speaking, the food that they had ordered arrived.

Xia Qingtian picked up her chopsticks, began to serve Cheng Bingbing food, and said as she served, "What we need to do now is to adjust your overall condition. You’ve been working too hard on your filming recently. Not only have you lost a lot of weight, but you’ve also looked exhausted. Eat more."

Cheng Bingbing picked up her chopsticks and began to concentrate on her meal.

Meanwhile, Xia Qingtian ate while continuing her plans for the next few days.

"So, I made an appointment with the best beauty therapist in the industry for you tomorrow. She will give you a comprehensive skin treatment. By the audition day, your face will look as smooth as a peeled egg. You won’t even see any pores."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Bingbing’s hand, which was in the process of bringing food to her mouth, froze mid-way.

"Tomorrow?" she asked in a daze.

"Yes," Xia Qingtian swallowed the food in her mouth before continuing. "This beauty therapist is hard to book, there’s a long queue in the circle. I had to pull in quite a few favours to arrange the appointment for you."

Thinking about the effort and time she had wasted to book this beauty therapist made her feel exhausted even now.

This was more tiring than handling the company’s affairs.

Cheng Bingbing suddenly fell silent.

Seeing her sudden silence, Xia Qingtian looked at her in confusion. Qingtian noticed Cheng Bingbing’s long eyebrows knitting together, her expression gloomy, she did not seem happy at all.

"What’s wrong?" she asked, puzzled.

She was able to book the best beauty therapist for Cheng Bingbing, giving her the chance to audition for the top-notch spokesperson role in her best condition. Shouldn’t Cheng Bingbing be happy and excited?

Cheng Bingbing pursed her lips, and with some difficulty, she said, "Sister Qingtian, can we change the time of the beauty treatment?"

"Why?" Xia Qingtian asked, frowning. "When I came to pick you up from the set today, didn’t you mention that the director was going abroad to receive an award, hence from tomorrow onwards the shooting team will be on vacation?"

As far as she could remember, the director despised the actors taking on other filming jobs. The shooting was intense, and because Cheng Bingbing was pregnant, the company did not arrange any other work for her.

If she was not shooting tomorrow, she would not have anything else to do.

Cheng Bingbing bit her lip harder and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell her the truth. She didn’t want Xia Qingtian to misconstrue her refusal to cooperate as ungratefulness and nonrecognition of this opportunity Xia Qingtian fought for her.

"It’s not about work!" she said quietly. "It’s Frau Huo. She has arranged to meet me tomorrow."

Xia Qingtian’s heart tightened when she heard this, and she asked in a baffled tone, "Why did she call you out?"

Cheng Bingbing shook her head, looking lost. "I also don’t know. She called me this afternoon, and I didn’t know that you’ve secured me such a great opportunity. So I already agreed to meet. Now, if I tell her that I can’t make it, she might... "

Even without spelling it out, Xia Qingtian understood.

The notoriously formidable Frau Huo was already unsatisfied with Cheng Bingbing. If Bingbing should stand her up, Frau Huo would only be more displeased.

In the future, it would be even more difficult for Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin to gain Frau Huo’s acceptance and approval.

After understanding everything, Xia Qingtian sighed helplessly and said, "It’s okay. I will call the beauty therapist tonight and see if we can postpone the appointment a day."

"Is that possible?" Cheng Bingbing asked cautiously.

"It should be," Xia Qingtian reassured her with a comforting look.

Though saying this, she herself was unsure whether the highly sought-after beauty therapist would have the flexibility to reschedule. But to ease Cheng Bingbing, she had to keep a brave front.

"That’s good." Cheng Bingbing immediately felt relieved.

Immediately after, the two began to eat.

As if suddenly reminded of something, Cheng Bingbing looked up at Xia Qingtian. She looked as if she wished to begin speaking but was hesitant.

Unfortunately, Xia Qingtian was preoccupied with rescheduling the beauty treatment and she paid Cheng Bingbing’s hesitation no attention.

Subsequently, the two of them, lost in their own thoughts, finished the meal.

After finishing their meal, Xia Qingtian drove Cheng Bingbing home.

Upon reaching the destination smoothly, Cheng Bingbing kept her seatbelt tightly fastened and showed no sign of leaving.

It was then Xia Qingtian noticed her abnormal behavior. Xia Qingtian raised her eyebrows in curiosity, "What’s up? Do you need anything else?"

"Yes." Cheng Bingbing nodded, then asked softly, "Sister Qingtian, are you busy tomorrow?"

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian was sure she needed her help. She didn’t answer the question directly, but instead asked Cheng Bingbing, "What’s the matter? Do you need my help with something?"

"Sister Qingtian, I’m a bit scared." Cheng Bingbing confessed, "I feel that Frau Huo likely doesn’t like me. I don’t know why she has asked to meet me tomorrow, and I am afraid to go alone. So, if it’s not too much trouble for you, can you come with me?"

Although she had only met Frau Huo once and they hadn’t had a direct conversation, she was very sensitive to the nuances of emotions. She could feel Frau Huo’s disdain for her.

She has the feeling that Frau Huo intended to see her for something unpleasant since she didn’t like her.

She has already agreed to see Frau Huo even though she was apprehensive of the meeting.

She didn’t have anyone else to rely on, except for Xia Qingtian. Xia Qingtian was like her backbone, as long as she was by her side, even if Frau Huo asked her to go through fire and flames, she would still have some confidence and wouldn’t be very scared.

Looking at Cheng Bingbing’s pale face from fear, and her slightly trembling eyelashes, Xia Qingtian’s heart softened.

Cheng Bingbing was not the type of person who likes to bother others. If she wasn’t truly afraid, she wouldn’t have asked.

Thinking about this, she falsely said, "I have nothing to do tomorrow."

In fact, even though she wasn’t as busy as when the company just started, there was still quite a lot for her to handle every day.

If she didn’t handle her work tomorrow, it would be highly bothersome when it all piled up.

Luckily, Xia Qingtian had her ace in the hole, Bo Jingyan.

If she is unable to handle her workload, she can always call upon Bo Jingyan to help her. With Bo Jingyan’s capabilities, as long as he is willing to lend a hand, no matter how much work, he would be able to tackle it smoothly.
