Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An evil intention passed right through Ning Xueluos eyes, yet her face looked innocent as ever. She pasted a bitter smile on her face and shook her head.

Why would I leave if I could make the decision? Ive been in Starlight for so long that it has become my second home. Youre just like my sister. I wanted to stay in the company too, but...

Halfway through her sentence, Ning Xueluo suddenly sighed, the wry smile on her face worsening by the second.

Its fine. The fact is that Ive left. Nothing else I say will change the situation, but now, because of me, youre affected.

Ning Xueluo stopped and looked at Han Zixuan oddly as if she had just said something she should not have.

Han Zixuan was not stupid. It was obvious that Ning Xueluo had something else to say and that it was related to her. She would never let this go, so she quickly held Ning Xueluos hand tenderly. Vice CEO Ning, what happened? Youre the one who brought me up. Cant you trust me?

Ning Xueluo shook her head. Zixuan, youre like my sister. Theres no way I dont trust you. Its just that the times have changed. In the past, I could protect you no matter what happened, but now...

I dont want to tell you because I dont want to involve you. After all, I cant even protect myself now.

What?!

Ning Xueluos words shocked Han Zixuan. Ning Xueluo was now the daughter-in-law of the Su family. With her position, who could pose a threat to her?

Unconsciously, Ning Xis face flashed through in Han Zixuans mind. Was Ning Xi the reason for Ning Xueluos retirement? Could it be...

Han Zixuan looked at Ning Xueluo in doubt. She hesitated for a while, then asked, Is it Ning Xi?

Ning Xueluos shoulders trembled when Han Zixuan mentioned the name Ning Xi. She lowered her head and put on an expression as if she had suffered a lot and was just surviving it.

Ning Xi again?!

Han Zixuan was determined that it was related to Ning Xi based on Ning Xueluos reaction.

That witch messed with you? You were the top star back in the days. If it werent for her, youd never have to quit. Youre already out of the industry and shes still pestering you?! Just how shameless is she?! Han Zixuan responded angrily. She was not exactly sympathizing with Ning Xueluo; it just so happen that their common enemy was Ning Xi.

Her anger was real.

Ning Xueluo observed Han Zixuans reactions. Obviously, she knew what Han Zixuan was thinking about, but she did not show it. She looked up with a bitter smile and peered at Han ZIxuan with her helpless and lonely eyes as she patted her flat stomach with her hand.

Its not her fault. Its my own problem. I got pregnant some time ago. Su Yan is worried that I might be too tired, which is why he wanted me to leave Starlight and focus on the baby.

Ning Xueluo hesitated with a lonely and forlorn vibe lying in her tone.

Youre pregnant? Han Zixuans eyes flew wide open. She quickly changed to a joyful tone. Congratulations, Vice CEO Ning is really blessed! CEO Su loves you so much and youre having his baby now. CEO Su must be treasuring you even more from now on. Im envious!
