A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-1153

She was envied by many people. Young and pretty, with a powerful man who loved her so much he was willing to go against his entire family for her.

Fitting for the legendary Diva Xia Ling.

Her life was filled with the brightest colors of the world. Many people would gladly give up their lives to have a day of hers.

Many fans sent her presents and cards. “Xiao Ling, we support you!”

Her social media feed was filled with blessings. Even when some people were jealous and left nasty comments, Xia Ling’s fans would attack them.

Xia Ling prepared for her marriage amidst all the buzz.

Pei Ziheng mentioned that he wanted her to be the happiest bride in the world, and she did not want to let him down.

While Pei Ziheng was busy dealing with his business, she composed a song. She wanted to hold a concert. However, considering her current state of health, she decided to just hold a live broadcast online.

In the live broadcast, she wore a loose white dress that showed off her shoulders and applied some light make up before smiling calmly into the camera. She said into the microphone, “All of you know that I’m pregnant and will be marrying my most beloved man. I have composed a song named ‘Finally Married to You’, and I would like to dedicate it to Ziheng.”

She sang softly into the microphone—

“How long is this life?”

“Time passed by me…”

“How many roads I have walked to be beside you.”

“I climbed mountains and crossed seas for you.”

“I opened my wings and soared for you…”

“My songs were sung for you, my guitar played for you…”

“Finally married to you.”

“I’m married to you.”

“Afraid this dream would shatter, afraid that I would wake.”

“Afraid this life wouldn’t be long enough for my dream to reach completion…”

“My dream, of spending time with you…”

Her beautiful voice danced in the air. Even those who didn’t understand music could feel her happiness that oozed out from the bottom of her heart. Many viewers were so moved they teared.

Her fans commented: [Xiao Ling, you will definitely be happy with him!]

The stage of the live broadcast room was misty, making her look like an angel.

She placed her hands on her abdomen and smiled candidly to the camera. “I saw the comments. Thank you so much. It is the happiest thing in my life to be married to him.”

“There are many wild speculations and rumors, but Ziheng and I truly love each other. In the past, I did not believe that ‘true love trumps all’ until he proposed to me. I realized that all those love stories were true.”

Her words put smiles on her viewers’ faces.

Someone asked, “Xiao Ling, can you tell us how he proposed to you?”

A fairy-like smile appeared on her face. She recalled the words he said in the ward. She relived the moment and only answered the fan after a while of savoring the moment. “He is the most romantic person in the world.”

This surprised the fans. No way! Pei Ziheng was the most romantic person in the world?

From the outside, Pei Ziheng was always cold, stern and serious. No matter how you looked at him, he just seemed like a boring person! Xiao Ling, you actually said that he was romantic, are you alright?

“How does he show his romantic side?” Someone asked.

Xia Ling was still smiling sheepishly. “Everything he does is romantic.”

The fans were speechless. Was this a case of “there can be no wrong in a lover’s eyes”? For a super Diva like Xiao Ling, romantic scenes were common. How did Boss Pei, a famously serious person, manage to woo her so easily? Seems like real romance…

Was about meeting the right one.

Her smile was even sweeter. “Do you guys not believe it?”

She showed her right hand, on which her ring finger was a dazzling pink diamond ring. The high purity of it caused it to shine brilliantly under the light, showing its otherworldliness.

Xia Ling said, “He gave me this ring when I was 16. I knew back then he would propose to me in the future. And I was definitely going to marry him.” As she said this, she lifted her chin slightly, her eyes even brighter, and she looked even prettier.

In Imperial Entertainment Chairman’s office.

Pei Ziheng just finished his conference and was watching the live broadcast. Hearing her words, he couldn’t help but soften his default stiff expression. But why was she so sure he would marry her? Previously, he only wanted her to be his mistress forever.

Someone asked this in his stead, “Miss Xia Ling, no offense to you, but you know that you were not born with a powerful family background. The boss of Imperial Entertainment has always had to marry someone of the same social class. May I ask where did you get this confidence that Pei Ziheng will marry you?”

Xia Ling pressed her hands onto her chest. “My heart knows.” She smiled at the camera. “He is my destiny, I am his destiny too.”

Her clear and soothing voice echoed throughout the world through the video.

Pei Ziheng was surprised. He could feel tears in his eyes.

Yes… destiny. They were each other’s destiny, but he realized it too late.

Looking at her in the video, Pei Ziheng called Chu Chen, “Contact the best jewelry designer and cutter for me. I want to customize a pair of wedding rings. The name will be—Destiny.”

————————————————

In the silent snowy night, the old Pei Ziheng lay on the bed and breathed deeply.

A delicate box was placed in the drawer beside his bed. Inside was an exquisite pair of rings. It was the one he made for her, “Destiny”. However, he never got a chance to give it to her.

The old man was deep in thought. He only realized it too late. Only after many years did he realize what he had missed. She… had always been a part of his life. Since she left decades ago, his life was always missing something.

He always thought he was smart, and yet he lost the most important thing.

He wanted to hold the grandest wedding, to announce to the world that she belonged to him and that they would never part.

He wanted to put “Destiny” on her finger.

But, even as he spent so many years in preparation and anticipation, there was no way for her to wear it, not in this lifetime. He could only bring them with him into his grave. Maybe in the next lifetime, they could meet again…

Destiny…

It was the cruelest thing in the world.
