"First . . . before you sign the contract, I need you to tell me the truth . How old are you? Is Xiao Xi Xi really your daughter? Tell me everything about it!" Lu Yi Feng asked without a hint of emotion . If she wanted to sign with his company, she needed to be honest and tell him the truth .

"I'm twenty-one . Yes, Xiao Xi Xi is my daughter . Er--- why?" Feng Xiao Qing asked in confusion . "What does it have to do with the contract?"

Lu Yi Feng sighed . "To become a popular idol, there will be a few demands . One, I need you to trust us and we also need to trust you . That's why I require your honesty . I need to know who the father is, just in case he will suddenly appear and make a mess of things . Two, Xiao Xi Xi can be used against you once you gain popularity . The fans always want a certain image of their idol . For example, untainted or pure . Some of them even prefer the idols to be single . That's why I need you to keep Xiao Xi Xi a secret . Can you do that?" Lu Yi Feng didn't bother to beat around the bush .

It was the truth . The entertainment industry was quite brutal . Lu Yi Feng always made sure his artists to know the reality behind the glamorous industry before they signed the agreement . This industry wasn't suitable for the weak . He didn't want to waste his time nurturing a person that was easily broken down by the slightest problems that would probably keep occurring .

Feng Xiao Qing was slightly paler than usual . She already made a research about the man in front of her . Lu Yi Feng -- an aloof and s.a.d.i.s.tic CEO . The s.a.d.i.s.tic meant the way he handled things in the entertainment industry . If someone was useful and knew how to be grateful to him, he would treat him or her right . But if someone betrayed him, the consequences would be dire . He could even make someone disappeared without batting eyelashes . It seemed like he somehow had a connection with the mafia . It was just a rumor, but she didn't want to underestimate it .

His arch-enemy was his younger brother --- Lu Ming Cheng and at the same time . . . Lu Ming Cheng was also her enemy . She wanted to rise to the top and destroy that man . That was why she went to join this company . She didn't only need the money, but also Lu Yi Feng's power to destroy her enemy .

Feng Xiao Qing knew that she couldn't lie to the man in front of her . He would find out everything about her sooner or later . She didn't believe that after this . . . he didn't do a background check on her . People like him were always careful in doing business .

"I can keep Xiao Xi Xi as a secret . In fact, I don't want her to be found by his father," Feng Xiao Qing decided to tell him the truth .

"Why?" Lu Yi Feng asked her, full of interest . It seemed like she had an interesting story to present him with .

Feng Xiao Qing hesitantly said, "He's going to take her from me . " She looked down for a little while, trying to contain her hate toward Lu Ming Cheng . She bit her lower lips and finally looked at Lu Yi Feng confidently, "That's why I want to rise to the top and I will protect Xiao Xi Xi with my own hand!" Yes, with her own hand . She would do anything for Xiao Xi Xi . That's her promise to herself and she will make it come true!

Lu Yi Feng saw the determined look on her face and silently praised her for the determination . For a woman to behave like this, the man must have hurt her deeply . He felt curious about this man's ident.i.ty . Even though he pitied her, but he needed to know the man's name and he would make sure he would get her telling him .

At least, for now . . . he knew that they had a common goal -- making her a top idol .

Lu Yi Feng curled up his lips and said, "Good! I like your resoluteness . " Lu Yi Feng once again tapped his fingers on his desk, thinking . Feng Xiao Qing paid attention to his movement and realized that Lu Yi Feng always tapped his fingers on the desk every time he was thinking and trying to make a decision .

"So . . . the contract?" Feng Xiao Qing needed his resolute answer, wanting to appease her own anxiousness . She already went this far and she didn't want to give up!

"You haven't answered my question yet . . . "

"What?" Feng Xiao Qing asked in confusion .

"Who's the father? I don't want him to find trouble in the future . "

Feng Xiao Qing pondered for a little while, thinking whether she should tell the truth or not . Having a common enemy . . . wouldn't it make him trust her more? If later he finds out that Xiao Xi Xi is Lu Ming Cheng's daughter, it will certainly make him disdain her .

Feng Xiao Qing finally answered him in a small voice, "Lu Ming Cheng . "

"What?!" Lu Yi Feng looked at her in surprise . He thought he had misheard her . "Can you repeat the name once again?"

"Lu Ming Cheng!" Feng Xiao Qing spoke louder, confirming his thought .
