After sending the message, Ning Meng held her phone tightly, waiting for the reply .

In her mind, she had secretly fantasized about various kinds of “reunion scenarios” with her hubby .
If both of them shared a secret, could their relationship become more intimate?
As she was deep in her thoughts, Lin Qingbei walked over to her and saw her grinning to herself like an idiot . He cleared his throat before asking, “Ms . Ning, what are you thinking about right now?”
Snapping back to reality, Ning Meng looked at him with a stern face . “What?”
Lin Qingbei handed a song list to her and said, “It’s our turn to choose a song . What genre do you think I should go with?”
Then, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear . “You looked as though you were in your estrous cycle[1] earlier . ”
Ning Meng glared at him before looking at the song list . Usually in reality shows featuring famous celebrities, the organizer needed to prepare various types of music genres for the participants . That way, they would not perform the same type of songs on stage .

Thus, if they lost the competition, they could not complain that the organizer had given them a song that was not suitable for the show .
Lin Qingbei was relatively new in the celebrity scene, and so, due to the lack of seniority, he was the last singer to get to choose his song .
Subsequently, there was basically no other genres available other than love songs .
In a competition, singers would usually pick songs that were more difficult to perform or could excite the audience easily so that they could get more votes . Love songs were much more relaxing and slower in stirring up emotions, giving the performer less advantage against the other competitors .
Nonetheless, this was not an issue for them .
The song that had given rise to Lin Qingbei’s popularity was a love song—”Wrong Love” . It had a great rhythm that could whisk up the listeners’ emotions really quickly, moving them to tears before the chorus hit . Besides, the song was quite well-known by now, making it very relatable to the audience .
The TV station had been quite fair in handling this .
Handing the song list back to Lin Qingbei, Ning Meng turned to the show director and said, “We’ll pick ‘Wrong Love’ . ”

The show director nodded . “Alright . Be sure to rehearse with the stage’s bandsmen later . Since everyone has picked the famous and classic songs, we could only allocate small windows of time for each participant . Your slot will be from 7 to 8 pm . ”
Seeing that Lin Qingbei had agreed, the show director stepped out of his resting room .
Ning Meng was not fond of pleasantries, hence, after the show director had left, she started to toy around with her phone again . She kept checking her phone again and again as if she was waiting for someone’s messages .
Yet, there were no messages that came in . Well, perhaps he was busy with work… but somehow, she could not help but feel a little lonely .
Lin Qingbei sat nearby, scribbling something on a piece of paper . “Wrong Love” was indeed a lovely song, however, a bolt of inspiration had struck him recently, prompting him to make some changes to the song .
After re-writing the song for over 2 hours, Lin Qingbei walked toward Ning Meng and presented the amended song to her .
Ning Meng looked at the paper, puzzled . “What’s wrong?”
Lin Qingbei replied in his soothing voice . “I’ve re-written the song . Perhaps you’d like to check to see if it would work?”

Not even glancing at it Ning Meng replied, “It’ll work . ”
“Are you not going to at least check?”
Putting a hand in front of him, Ning Meng said, “There’s no need to . I have faith in you . Just remember to inform the bandsmen about it though, alright?”
Other than being a great singer, Lin Qingbei was also a talented song composer and writer . His talent was even greater than that of Li Haojie’s . Most of the songs that he performed for his album had been written and composed by himself .
If it was written by him, things would not go wrong . Besides, Ning Meng was not really particularly gifted in songwriting . Thus, she decided to leave it all to him .
Lin Qingbei was stunned after hearing her words .
Again . She had full confidence and faith in him again .
Suddenly, he felt a powerful emotion overflowing in his chest .
Just as he was about to say something, the girl’s phone vibrated . Ning Meng’s eyes glinted with joy when she saw that it was a message from Huo Beichen: [Understood . ]
After reading this message, Ning Meng’s heart began to throb violently .
