Xia Ling took a lot of effort to try and convince Li Lei.
Li Lei saw that she was determined in her stand and brought up two conditions. "I can let you leave, but on two terms. Firstly, you cannot turn to Imperial Entertainment. Secondly, you have to keep your amulet on at all times, don't ever take it off."
Xia Ling thought through the two conditions. Firstly, she had never even considered joining Imperial Entertainment. Secondly, given that she could not take the amulet off at all, she had already prepared a small pouch for it for times in which the amulet pendant did not fit her dressing style. Both conditions were not anything too imposing or intrusive, so she agreed.
Li Lei could finally relieve some of his tension.
Xia Ling called Luo Luo to ask if the offer for sharing a rented apartment was still up.
