Crossing all worlds: divine power automatically full level

One meal down.

Li Xiu's opinion of Ding Ling changed drastically, and her favorability towards her soared.

[Li Xiu's favorability rating: 69]

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the price has soared by dozens of points.

It spikes a little every now and then.

It's clear that Ding Ling, a big boss, being able to lower himself and chat casually with Li Xiu is very appealing to Li Xiu.

Of course, this is the initial stage.

To truly enter the other person's inner world.

We need to be patient.

Ding Ling wasn't in a hurry; it was only the first day, so they could take it slow.

Are you free tomorrow?

Now that we've started...

Of course, it's impossible to stop.

In the original storyline, the male lead, Kim Woo-jin, was able to kiss the female lead in just two days.

Even if Ding Ling is slower than Jin Yuzhen, he can't be too much slower.

Pursuing women.

It means knowing when to stop and when to be courageous and diligent.

no doubt.

For a woman like Li Xiu, who is rational, calm, intelligent, and has extremely high emotional and intellectual intelligence, a more direct and proactive approach is needed; it's not appropriate to play games with her.

Li Xiu isn't a student in an ivory tower; she's experienced far too much. What kind of tricks hasn't she encountered?

The usual tricks won't work on her at all!
Therefore, the best approach is to be direct and use overwhelming methods to win her over more easily.

There could be a simpler way.

Why go far away when it’s near?

"tomorrow?"

Two blushes suddenly rose on Li Xiu's cheeks, like rouge spreading and trailing all the way to the back of her ears!
Even if she was slow to realize it, she eventually came to her senses.

It seems the CEO of the Ding Group is pursuing me?!

She was truly stunned and somewhat bewildered, but she reacted quickly, stammering, "Of course! I... I'm available anytime!"

You really can't blame her for doing that.

It's like a loser suddenly being invited to dinner by a superstar idol, and they can chat and laugh together, even agreeing to continue the next day.

How could this loser not be excited? Or even dazed?
Although Li Xiu wasn't a loser, the gap in status between her and Ding Ling was too great. In Ding Ling's eyes, she was no different from a loser, and she was well aware of this, which is why she didn't dare to have any illusions at the beginning.

But now that her fantasy has become reality, she still feels incredibly surreal and incredulous.

"Let me take you home. Could you please show me where you live?"

Okay, okay.

I was in a daze the whole way, completely out of it.

Wait until you get home.

Close the door.

Peng!
The sound of the door lock snapping shut startled her awake. Her eyes snapped back to clear focus from their dazed state, and she let out a sharp scream.

Her older sister, a pretty middle-aged woman, was clipping her nails and watching TV in the living room when she heard the scream. Looking around, she saw her younger sister and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Xiu just smiled, changed her shoes, and ran upstairs. She jumped onto her bed, rolled around on it a couple of times, and only then did her excitement subside.

'Really? This handsome, charming chairman seems to be pursuing me?'

She still finds it incredible.

With a leap, he jumped out of bed, strode to a full-length mirror, and carefully examined himself from head to toe:

'Hmm, it looks pretty good.'

'But there are plenty of girls prettier than me.'

'There are plenty of girls out there who are just as good-looking as me.'

'A rich, handsome, and successful man like Ding Ling could easily find plenty of beautiful women. Why would he suddenly come and pursue me out of the blue?'

'It must be my imagination!'

Think of this.

Li Xiu looked slightly dejected, as if all the excitement in her heart had been drenched in cold water and frozen.

Feeling somewhat disheartened, she took a shower and then lay on the bed in a daze, expressionless.

She suddenly realized that everything she had experienced today was quite surreal.

Even now, lying in bed, she is still thinking about Ding Ling.

'This person is really good-looking.'

"Sigh, I'm twenty-nine. Compared to those younger girls, the disadvantages are too obvious."

"Besides, my background, family history, and social status are nowhere near comparable to those of a wealthy and beautiful woman. In a family like Ding Ling's, where he's rich and handsome, matching social status is definitely the priority. It seems like a girl from an ordinary family like me has no chance at all."

Give up your illusions.

Accept the truth.

Li Xiu became increasingly calm.

She suddenly realized that she might have been overthinking things.

The probability of her being pursued by a big shot like Ding Ling is extremely low.

after all.

Why?
Why should she be worthy of being pursued by a big shot like Ding Ling?

At 29? After all her hard work, she still can't afford a house?
The more I think about it, the more discouraged I become.

Li Xiu rolled around on the bed in frustration, letting out a couple of cries of "Ah ah!" to vent her anger before finally calming down.

"What are you doing, Li Xiu?"

The older sister, Li Enxiu, walked in, looking at Li Xiu with a puzzled expression:

"You're acting really strange today. Something's off about you. Come on, tell me what's wrong. I'll help you analyze it."

Li Xiu blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed, and waved her hand, "There's nothing wrong with me, sister, you've mistaken me."

'Don't I know you?'

Lee Eun-soo rolled her eyes. "We grew up together, I know every single hair on your body. Stop giving me this nonsense and tell me properly. Otherwise, I'll go tell Dad later."

'Don't tell Dad.'

Li Xiu was speechless. 'I'll tell you then.'

'it is good. '

Lee Eun-soo was somewhat excited. 'I'm all ears.'

Lee Eun-soo was so bored every day, and the recent soap operas weren't good either.

It was so rare to see a hint of gossip coming from my meticulous younger sister.

How could she possibly give up?
'We had a guest at my mom's house today.'

'Hmm. And then?'

'Don't interrupt me. Are you listening or not? If not, I'm going to sleep.' 'Okay, okay. I won't interrupt you. Just speak properly.'

'Ahem. '

Li Xiu looked somewhat uncomfortable, coughed twice, and continued:

"This guest is very special. He is extremely handsome. I have never seen anyone so handsome in my life. No movie star or TV star can compare to him. He is tall and imposing. Just looking at his back, you would think he is a peerless master who has stepped out of a movie. He is very imposing."
But looking at him from the front, he possessed an extraordinary bearing and stood out from the crowd, resembling a refined and elegant young nobleman. That overwhelming aristocratic air was truly captivating…

"..."

The older sister, Li Enxiu, couldn't take it anymore and interrupted:

"Hey, hey, hey. Li Xiu, isn't what you're saying a bit too much?"

'You interrupted me again.'

Li Xiu, displeased, pouted, her lips pursed so much they looked like they could hold an oil lamp. 'I won't talk to you if you don't listen.'

'Forgive my sister.'

Lee Eun-soo hugged Lee Soo's arm, laughing, "What you're saying is just too outrageous. It sounds like a dreamy little girl describing her Prince Charming. You're not young anymore. You're 29. How could you possibly meet a man like that?"

'I really encountered it.'

Li Xiu grew anxious, "If you don't believe me, I won't say anything more."

'Okay, okay. I believe you, alright? Then continue.'

Lee Eun-soo wanted to see if her younger sister could come up with any clever arguments.

Li Xiu didn't want to talk, so Li Enxiu tickled her. She giggled, but couldn't take it anymore, and could only raise her hands in surrender, laughing so hard she could barely breathe, saying, "Sister, sister, I surrender! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? Please stop!"

"Now you know how powerful I am, right? Hurry up and tell me!"

'Then don't interrupt me this time.'

Li Xiu gave a warning, and then continued:

"I made a very good first impression on that young man. He completely hit my aesthetic point, and not just me, but all the other women in our company felt the same way. Many of them were secretly looking at him."

He came to me. He asked me to recommend a good chair to him.

Sister, you know how it is for a salesperson. The chances of meeting a big client are very low. But this gentleman looks extraordinary, so of course I couldn't let him pass by. I enthusiastically introduced him to the client.

But this man is amazing. With just a little modification, he made a chair so perfect that I estimate its value has increased several times over.

Even without a high position or power, just based on this skill alone, I reckon it's only a matter of time before he becomes a legend in the home furnishing industry…

Li Xiu slowly began to explain.

She recounted in detail how she met and fell in love with Ding Ling, from beginning to end.

Nothing was missed.

It is clear.

The process of getting to know Ding Ling left a deep impression on her, so much so that the experience seemed to be engraved in her soul, and she could not forget it even if she wanted to.

As Lee Eun-soo listened, she sensed something was wrong, and her expression gradually became extremely interesting.

After she finished listening, she gasped and stared in disbelief:

"You mean, that man is Ding Ling, the chairman of the Ding Group?"

'yes. '

Li Xiu shrugged. "Isn't it unbelievable? I found it hard to believe at the time, but it's true. In this country, in this industry, no one dares to impersonate the chairman of the Ding Group. His car is a luxury car; he stands out from the crowd, exuding an extraordinary aura—it's impossible for him to be an imposter. So, I was very curious. Why would someone keep inviting me to dinner, an ordinary person like myself?"

'Without a doubt. He's pursuing you.'

Lee Eun-soo was trembling with excitement, as if she had a seizure. Her face flushed, she patted Lee Soo-soo's shoulder, "Sister, my dear sister, you know you're going to be rich! When you really marry into a wealthy family, don't forget to lend a hand to your good sister who's still stuck in the mud. I'm waiting for you to save me, my dear sister."

'Don't joke around.'

Li Xiu frowned. "Sister, think about it carefully. Why would someone want to pursue me? What makes me worthy of their attention? I'm 29 years old this year."

'Well. '

Lee Eun-soo was speechless after hearing what Lee Soo said. Thinking about it, it made sense. Her own younger sister was almost an old woman.

In today's society.

At 29, she's not very old, after all, many men like this kind of mature and intellectual beauty.

But compared to young, beautiful girls in their early 18s or 20s.

At 29, approaching 30, there is indeed no advantage to her.

A chairman like Ding Ling, a wealthy man, wouldn't it be better to date someone young and beautiful? Why go after someone almost thirty?

"That's why I said I might be delusional."

The light in Li Xiu's eyes dimmed somewhat. She covered her head with a cushion, trying to calm herself down. Her voice came from inside the cushion, sounding muffled:

"In this real world, there is no Cinderella story of turning the tables, nor is there a domineering CEO falling in love with an ordinary person like me. Those are fantasy worlds, while we live in reality."

Lee Soo's composure shattered Lee Eun-soo's excitement.

She slumped her head and punched Li Xiu's arm in annoyance. "Just thinking about it isn't enough. You've already dampened my spirits so quickly. What a spoilsport."

That's what she said, but Lee Eun-soo still said with great interest:
"Then think carefully, why would Ding Ling invite you to dinner again?"

'Perhaps it's just boredom?'

Li Xiu thought for a moment, 'Does he think it's funny to tease me? Could it add an interesting touch to his career?'

"Li Xiu, I don't like it when you belittle yourself like that. In my eyes, you're still very capable. How many people in your company are more capable than you? You need to be more confident!"

"Even my colleagues wouldn't dare dream of being pursued by the CEO of a company worth tens of billions of dollars. They all know their place."

'Talking to you is so boring it kills the conversation.'

Lee Eun-soo was increasingly speechless. 'Can't I even fantasize?'

'The gap between ideals and reality is too large, which can be very hurtful. Giving up illusions from the beginning is the only way to better accept the harsh realities of life.'

'You're so sensible. Sometimes you're not like a woman at all.'

"...Sis, you can't talk about your own sister like that."

"Hehe. You've met a rich, handsome, and successful guy, and you're still so calm. If it were me, I'd be ecstatic. Anyway, you should give it a try."

Lee Eun-soo advised, "What if he really does have feelings for you?"

What if he's just playing around and doesn't want to marry me?

Li Xiu countered, "Even if he were willing, would his parents agree? The gap in our family backgrounds is too great, which makes it impossible."

Regardless of the era, marrying someone of equal social standing has always been the mainstream.

The story of Cinderella and Prince Charming only exists in fairy tales.

Such stories are rare in reality, especially among the sons of top-tier aristocratic families.

In Li Xiu's eyes, Ding Ling was indeed a noble young master!
How do you know it's impossible if you don't try?

Li Enxiu disagreed with Li Xiu's ideas:

"You can only know the result by trying it."

"This is clearly an impossible outcome; trying would only lead to humiliation. Besides, I want to give my virginity to my future husband; I don't want to just give myself away so easily."

'...'

Li Xiudu said so.

What could Li Enxiu say? After a long pause, she finally managed to stammer, "Okay, I'm not worried since you're so calm. But you still need to make a decisive move when you meet the right person. After all, we're not young anymore."

"Hmm. By the way, sis, how's your boyfriend doing these days?"

'Don't talk about him. Just thinking about him makes me angry.'

Li Enxiu looked utterly dejected. 'This guy recently got a promotion; he was noticed by a senior executive at the Ding Group and became the general manager of a project. Then he met a prettier girl and dumped me. Damn it!' (End of Chapter)
