Why didn’t he ask Yin Mulan for Xia Weibao’s contact information when Meng Songbai asked for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now look, he couldn’t find her even if he wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuexian, do you happen to have Xia Weibao’s contact information?” Pei Hong’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I have her phone number and WeChat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Hong suddenly felt like he was facing a dead end, only to find a way out with a twist of fate. The heavens definitely wanted him to win her over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how else would he coincidentally get Xia Weibao’s contact information!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt it’s just a stroke of luck; Master Pei would never admit he was being too shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian had a bright idea, “Xia Weibao doesn’t seem to like giving her contact info casually, how about I call her over, and you can talk to her face-to-face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just fretting over how to find a reason to see Xia Weibao, and Pei Hong came just in time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t because she wanted to hear Xia Weibao praise her, but because Master Pei wanted to recruit someone, and she was reluctantly making the call. It wasn’t her fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Yan the Little Fairy called with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao had just finished a video chat with her darling husband, then started playing a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a critical moment, just as she was about to win, a call came in, and she got killed by a slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such despair, there’s always some ruffian trying to stop Her Majesty the Empress from becoming a legend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who you are, dare to disturb the Empress playing a game is a crime to add on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Block the number first and then continue playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over there, Yan Yuexian called several times to no avail, her face twisted magnificently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she had been blocked…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Hong felt a flock of crows flying over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian kept a calm face, not speaking, she also wanted to know what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Her Majesty the Empress’s skill, no doubt, she lost a few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a bit deflated, she removed Yan Yuexian from the blacklist and then made a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Yuexian, sorry about earlier, slippery fingers blocked you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha, I really believed your nonsense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you need something from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling annoyed, Yan Yuexian’s princess syndrome flared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that Pei Hong was still around, she held back a bit, “Where are you now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dormitory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Pei Hong, the head of the National Studies Association Folk Music Department, wants to see you.

If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. Oh, by the way, you were great tonight, but I have night shoots for the next few days, so I probably won’t be able to teach you piano. We’ll find another chance later, keep it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finished and then hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Hong’s eyes widened. This was the first time he got rejected asking someone out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xia Weibao just said she wouldn’t be able to teach Yan Yuexian piano anymore, meaning he couldn’t even go watch sneakily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a vague sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian was in a bad mood at first, but hearing Xia Weibao say she was great made her feel like the moon tonight was round and full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on her face couldn’t be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not meeting Xia Weibao left Pei Hong a bit unwilling, but fortunately, she’s at the school and he can go to the set tomorrow to find her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parting with Yan Yuexian, Pei Hong called out Ruan Shushu.\u003C\u002Fp>",678,"2026-06-06T16:22:13.075Z",1,"novelbin.me","1fc63ed1dcaa597d99cb03cec420c3a96fc77f65c191ee5b0f46ea1cad3d0729","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-975","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-973",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
