While Ling Zhenfei was contemplating these matters, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening outside, and then the villa's main door opened. A girl walked in, talking to herself, "Why did I forget to turn off the lights?"

The girl changed into slippers and walked inside, entering the living room and unexpectedly seeing Ling Zhenfei.

"Boss Ling, why are you back?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "I came back after finishing my own business."

"You could've let me know in advance so I could tidy up the room properly," Lele said, somewhat embarrassed.

"No need, it's already very clean. There was beer in the fridge, so I drank it."

Ling Zhenfei picked up the beer and waved it in front of Lele.

Lele said, "It was originally prepared for you."

Lele looked very different now compared to before. Previously, because she dropped out of school at a young age, she looked like a typical rural kid.

Because of the burns all over her body, Lele wasn't good at socializing and was very unconfident in everything, but now it's different. Now Lele finally started to have confidence.

Now, considering Lele's appearance, she could be considered a big beauty. The actions and comments of those around her boosted her confidence.

Lele's clothing style was completely different now. She was wearing a black woman's suit, paired with a pencil skirt and high heels.

This outfit gave her the standard look of an urban white-collar worker and was very fashionable; no one could have imagined what this girl looked like before.

Ling Zhenfei was seeing such a girl for the first time, and this personality change made him feel very different.

Lele then changed into very casual homewear, walked to Ling Zhenfei's side, and asked.

"Big Brother Ling, have you eaten? Should I cook for you?"

Ling Zhenfei knew that children from poor families learn to be independent early on, so Lele must have cooked a lot in the past.

"Sure, let me try your cooking skills." Ling Zhenfei was very curious about Lele's cooking.

"Okay, just wait and I'll make you a few dishes right away." As she spoke, Lele had already put on an apron.

Ling Zhenfei drank beer and watched TV. Soon, the aroma of dishes wafted from the kitchen.

Ling Zhenfei was moved and couldn't believe Lele's cooking could really be good; the dishes were not bad just based on the aroma.

But Ling Zhenfei was only speaking based on the smell; he had to wait for the dishes to see how they really were.

Before long, the dishes were served. They were all home-cooked dishes, but Lele made them very exquisite, surprising Ling Zhenfei. The dishes really embodied the idea of being visually appealing and aromatic.

"Did you specially learn how to cook?" Ling Zhenfei asked in surprise.

"Of course not, I learned all of this at home by myself. At that time, there was nothing else to do, so cooking became my only hobby." Lele said with a hint of joy on her face, clearly appreciating Ling Zhenfei's compliment.

Ling Zhenfei picked up some food with chopsticks, looked surprised, then tried another dish before putting down the chopsticks.

"Not bad, the food is very delicious, visually appealing and aromatic. I really didn't expect you to have such skills; it really makes me see you in a new light."

Ling Zhenfei was telling the truth. He also learned to cook since childhood but was just average until he learned Five Organs and Six Delicacies, which improved his cooking.

But it must be said that reaching Lele's level without professional training was already commendable.

"Thank you, Big Brother Ling, for the compliment," Lele said happily.

Ling Zhenfei gestured to a seat and said, "You haven't eaten yet; come and sit down and eat together."

Lele sat down, and the two opened a can of beer, clinking their glasses.

They sat facing each other, drinking beer.

While drinking, Ling Zhenfei suddenly remembered something and froze, realizing that his past relationship with Lele wasn't very good.

After that incident, Lele seemed unhappy, perhaps even a little angry, and then Ling Zhenfei left. Unexpectedly, upon his return, Lele seemed like a different person.

Ling Zhenfei found the situation curious, unsure of the reason behind Lele's enthusiasm, but decided not to overthink it.

Ling Zhenfei and Lele chatted while drinking beer, surprised to find Lele much more talkative, completely overturning his previous impression of her.

Checking the time, Ling Zhenfei noticed it was getting late. He told Lele, "It's not early; I need to rest."

Lele said, "Big Brother Ling, I've already prepared the bathwater. Go take a bath quickly."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised, not even knowing when Lele prepared the water; it was indeed surprising.

Without further comment, Ling Zhenfei went to his room, which had an enormous bathroom with a huge bathtub.

The bathtub was already filled with water. Ling Zhenfei tested the temperature, found it just right, soaked in the bath, and entered Di Tian Shen Sui to rest.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei came out of his cultivation when Lele gently knocked on the door.

"The meal is ready; you can come and eat."

Ling Zhenfei went downstairs, where Lele had prepared delicate side dishes.

Yesterday, Jiang Hui had already booked Ling Zhenfei's flight, so after eating, Ling Zhenfei needed to leave.

After breakfast, Lele accompanied Ling Zhenfei to the door, and he took a taxi to the airport.

Arriving at the airport entrance, Ling Zhenfei was suddenly surrounded, surprisingly realizing that after long being in Japan, he had almost forgotten he was a celebrity in his home country and got surrounded when not careful.

It's worth mentioning that the fans were quite decent, knowing Ling Zhenfei had to catch a flight, and after taking photos and getting autographs, they let him into the airport.

In a corner of the terminal, Ling Zhenfei sat properly dressed, waiting to board.

"Taking a flight without me, you think you have a manager for nothing?" Suddenly a voice appeared from behind Ling Zhenfei, startling him as he recognized it as Bai Ling's.

Quickly turning around, he saw Bai Ling looking at him from behind. Today's Bai Ling stunned Ling Zhenfei, reminding him of the past Bai Ling.

Time flew by, and everything changed, yet Bai Ling remained exactly the same as before, resembling a figure amidst the glow.

"How come you're here?" Ling Zhenfei asked in surprise.

Bai Ling walked over to sit next to Ling Zhenfei and said, "Of course, I had to come. I'm your manager and fixer, haven't you forgotten so soon? That's not okay."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Have you thought about it, becoming my manager?"

"I've probably thought about it long before; at the time, you didn't even have that many fans," Bai Ling earnestly said.
