Chapter 792: Lady Lingyi and the Empress have the same taste
Inside the elegant private booth of the specialty restaurant, Xia Weibao and Yan Lingyi sat facing each other.
"What would you like to eat?" Yan Lingyi passed the menu to her.
Xia Weibao politely declined, "You order, I’m not picky."
Yan Lingyi smiled as well, "I’m here to apologize to you, so naturally, you should choose."
"Apologize?" Xia Weibao was puzzled.
"Mhm, Weiyang has caused your family trouble, and I am very sorry," Yan Lingyi said as she sized up the girl across from her.
Her expression grew contemplative and surprised, as if the more she looked, the more the likeness struck her.
It wasn’t just the appearance; even the aura was very similar to how she had been in her younger days.
If she hadn’t already found her daughter, she might suspect that the girl in front of her was the daughter she had lost.
"Lady Lingyi, if you came specifically for this, you needn’t bother; I didn’t take it to heart."
Although annoyed at someone coveting her husband, Weiyang wasn’t worthy of causing the disturbance!
What a joke, Dog Emperor could travel a thousand years to find her, living ten lifetimes and growing old alone without finding her; now that he had found her this lifetime, how could he waver because of another woman?
She was just irked that someone had set their sights on her possession.
Yan Lingyi pushed the menu over, her gaze downcast and somewhat distant.
Actually, she wasn’t sure why she had come to find her.
Apologizing for Weiyang was one reason, but on the other hand...
She wanted to see her.
For some reason, after seeing her yesterday at the Presidential Mansion, she kept thinking about her.
She really wanted to meet her.
Even at last night’s birthday party for Weiyang, she had no mood to socialize and went to bed early, but she couldn’t sleep all night.
She felt quite restless, yet now sitting here, she felt calmer.
"Your name is Xia Weibao?"
"Mhm."
"Which Xia family?"
One that could establish an engagement with the Lu Family should be extraordinary, but her file said she was an orphan.
Xia Weibao shrugged, "I don’t know; I was an orphan, abandoned at the orphanage as a child. The name was given to me by the director, whether it’s Xia or not..."
She shook her head, "I’m not sure."
"I see, then how did you get into the entertainment industry?"
"By participating in a singing competition, winning the championship, and then being scouted by Empire Entertainment, who signed me."
These weren’t secrets; many knew about them.
"So that’s how it is."
That is to say, she was someone who fought her way up to the top actress position in the entertainment industry alone, within two years.
Such a small child, yet she climbed so quickly; she must have suffered a lot.
And they still...
Thinking back to the events of three years ago, Yan Lingyi suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
In her life, there were only two people she had wronged.
One was her daughter, whom she had lost when the child was only two years old.
The other was Xia Weibao. To protect her own daughter, she had harmed an innocent person.
At that moment, the server brought the dishes.
Yan Lingyi frowned slightly, "Why didn’t you order what you like?"
"These are what I like," Xia Weibao responded somewhat perplexed.
Yan Lingyi’s eyes widened, then she laughed gracefully, "You have the same taste as me."
She also liked spicy food.
If there hadn’t been a lack of interaction with Xia Weibao before, she might have thought this girl was trying to ingratiate herself with her.
"When did you and Xiao Liang get engaged?" Yan Lingyi asked.
Xia Weibao blinked, "I don’t know, he said that we have an engagement, and his mother also said that he and I have been engaged since we were little."
Engaged since they were little?
Yan Lingyi was even more confused; the child betrothed to Lu Hualiang was supposed to be her daughter.
