The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof

Chapter 400: Chapter 400_1 Chapter 400: Chapter 400_1 As he looked at Qiao Xiaren, Si Limo’s heart ached more and more. He spoke softly, “I know, don’t think too much. I’ve once promised you, in this life and beyond, I will hold true to it.”

“Alright.”

The wonton noodles were quickly served and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Qiao Xiaren enjoyed this feeling, the feeling of family happiness that she had never experienced in her past life.

“Xiaren, eat more. Taste the work of my hands.” As she saw the girl with dimmed eyes, she felt that the depth within resembled someone. That person possessed a bewitching allure, but Qiao Xiaren had a breathtaking beauty that could captivate anyone’s soul.

Some people’s beauty was a sin, but Xiaren’s beauty was a divine favour.

After the meal, Qiao Xiaren, for once, did not return home. Madam Si noticed this change, joy filled her heart and she quickly ordered the servants to tidy Si Limo’s room next door.

Since they had already broken through this layer of their relationship, there was no need to be coy. Instead, they chose to spend more time adapting to each other.

Madam Si had previously been worried, given Qiao Xiaren’s young age and unstable temperament. She understood her son’s cluelessness in matters of the heart. However, he had surprised her this time by bringing the girl home without uttering a word. He certainly was something!

His father was right, once he found the right person, he would naturally understand.

It was not until Weini called to remind Qiao Xiaren that she remembered that college enrollment was starting soon. She had been so busy lately that she almost forgot about the start of the school year.

Although she was going to college, Qiao Xiaren couldn’t stay at the film academy all the time like a regular student because she had too many engagements. However, she couldn’t skip her university courses either.

At this moment, Zara’s advertising campaign was about to start. Bolton looked forward to Qiao Xiaren’s potential to drive S Country’s local brand sales. Qiao Xiaren’s popularity had been surging, thanks to the success of “Murdering Immortals”, propelling her to the ranks of budding female stars. However, to claim she was top-tier would be a bit of a stretch.

Typically, top-tier stars would not only have several heavyweight endorsements but would also have reputable film and TV work as well as official awards and substantial popularity. One could not reach this top tier position without four or five years of effort.

Since Zara chose Qiao Xiaren, countless second and third-tier stars have perceived a hope. They’ve been constantly communicating through agents, hoping to secure the opportunity to endorse Zara. There’s no denying that Qiao Xiaren’s advertising resources were top-notch, securing a million-dollar endorsement from Zara was something that her peers could only dream about.

Of course, this advertising campaign has also caused endless disputes at Zara’s headquarters. The reason was straightforward; allowing a non-top-tier actress to endorse Zara would undoubtedly present risk to the local sales in S Country.

The larger the brand, the larger the stakes involved. Any failure would result in huge losses. Bolton was prepared to take this risk, but the individuals at the headquarters were not.

Bolton was a stubborn individual, both he and his team were convinced about Qiao Xiaren and naturally wouldn’t change choices casually. After a heated debate, the main sponsor, Qiao Silin, angrily insisted on replacing Qiao Xiaren with a top-tier star.

The person chosen to replace Qiao Xiaren was the heavily-promoted Xie Yurou. Since her debut four years ago, her name had never disappeared from the public eye.
