Chapter 173: Finally Eighteen

It was the dead of night on Song Mian’s side when she finished her homework . Yun Xiangxiang did not send it to him immediately, concerned that she might disturb his rest .

She sent it in the morning before going to the company together with Lu Jin . The ad shoot would be at night .

The shooting venue was at a world-famous opera house . Arriving at such an early hour was to make it easy for them to communicate with the shooting crew .

Most of the staff were Italian . Both sides spoke English, so there was no language barrier in their communication .

Their filming paid great attention to detail . Deliberating back and forth was the norm . The director in charge would accompany them for the whole session .

They went to the opera house after lunch to emulate the scenes in the venue . There was even an experimental shooting of two scenes .

The ad content was brief . The female lead would exit the great opera house in glamorous attire . Resplendent with jewelry, her radiance succeeded in attracting the attention of young nobles .

They extended their invitation to her . Suddenly, the headlights of the male lead’s car shone in her direction . The female protagonist who stood within the light looked at him . His car zoomed past everyone else’s . Exiting his car, he ambled to the female lead with his hand extended to her .

The man was full of confidence, while the woman was lusciously mesmerising . One look at each other, and the female protagonist chose him .

The final scene was a close up of Lu Jin and the car . There was a punchline beside him and the car: The greatest thing in a man’s life is being a king .

It was said that the translation of the Italian name of this new sports car meant ‘greatest . ’

The Italians had the same dedication in filming an ad as they would in a film . They would film again and again to get the perfect scene .

As they needed to shoot the graceful, resplendent, and bright opera house, they could only shoot at night .

The first two days of shooting were not satisfactory . The third day was when Yun Xiangxiang needed to go to the interview with “e-one . ”

Naturally, Yun Xiangxiang could only tell them she needed to take the magazine interview in the morning and could only shoot at night . The sponsors let her go generously .

The interview with “e-one” was thanks to Lu Jin’s connection . Even though she lost out on NI . G’s endorsement, Yun Xiangxiang still wanted to go .

She was interviewed by a young lady . She was probably the new editor for “e-one . ” Her interview turned out in a strictly businesslike manner .

She only asked Yun Xiangxiang when she saw the ring on her right hand, “Are you seeing someone?”

Yun Xiangxiang rubbed the ring . She answered promptly, “Yes . ”

There was a cultural difference between Eastern and Western countries . No matter if they were actors or not, dating at seventeen or eighteen was generally acknowledged and acceptable .

Hers was a minor interview . It was also done in a foreign language . The issue would be sold in Milan for a week . She would not market it herself .

Judging from the situation of “EF” last time, Yun Xiangxiang did not think anyone in China would pay attention to it .

Admitting it outright was to make sure she could do something about it in the future . She did not want to keep Song Mian’s existence as a secret either .

There were many Chinese in Italy too . If luck was not on her side, she could prepare herself to face the heat .

She played in the ad for a few more sessions in the night after the interview . The director finally ended it .

She thought it would take five days . To her surprise, it was finished in three days .

“Happy birthday,” Lu Jin handed Yun Xiangxiang a handbag .

It was already eleven o’clock after their post shooting supper . Yun Xiangxiang’s birthday was one hour away .

The handbag was light . There was only a piece of paper lying in it . She did not have to tear it open . Yun Xiangxiang took the paper out . It was a car .

“I’m giving this at the sponsor’s expense . This is the car they gave me . I just happen to have no idea what I should give you, so I’ll just give you this car,” Lu Jin explained .

Yun Xiangxiang could not bear herself to immediately reject his gift . This car was expensive . It cost a million yuan .

Her relationship with Lu Jin naturally did not warrant such an expensive gift from him . However, since Lu Jin said that this was given to him by the company, Yun Xiangxiang could only take it . He did not spend any money after all . On top of that, he did not give her this out of nowhere, it was given as a birthday gift .

“Thank you Brother Jin . ”

“I didn’t prepare any gifts for you . I’ll bring you to fashion week on the day after tomorrow,” said He Wei smilingly .

It happened to be Milan’s Spring Fashion Week . He Wei had already made the necessary arrangements to widen Yun Xiangxiang’s horizons .

“Thank you, Brother Wei,” Yun Xiangxiang attended a few fashion weeks in her past life .

Actors usually go to fashion weeks to support the brand they were endorsing . Some would attend to look for collaboration opportunities . They were the latter .

“It’s late . Go back and have some rest,” He Wei urged Yun Xiangxiang .

They went their own ways when they arrived at their room’s door . Her phone rang after she had stepped into her room . It was Song Mian .

“I’ll be at the hotel you’re at in fifteen minutes,” Song Mian was worried that Yun Xiangxiang might have slept .

“You’re on a helicopter!” Yun Xiangxiang picked up the sound of a helicopter .

“En, wait for me,” Song Mian hung up . It was not convenient to talk .

Yun Xiangxiang quickly removed her makeup and did her skincare routine . She had just finished changing her clothes when Song Qian pointed at the rooftop . “Top floor . ”

Most high-end hotels had helipads . Yun Xiangxiang immediately hopped into the elevator . There was even someone waiting to open the door for when she arrived at the highest story .

The weather in Milan at this time felt as if it was late fall . It was not freezing, but it was breezy .

Yun Xiangxiang noticed the sound of the helicopter as she stepped into the top floor . The helicopter quickly stopped with the hotel crew’s help . Song Mian leaped off from it before the chopper had the time to stabilize itself .

With a box in his hand, he turned around to hug a pot of bonsai . As the bonsai was covered, Yun Xiangxiang had no idea what it was .

Only when the lights on the rooftop were all turned on, the beauty of the decorations around them could be appreciated .

Yun Xiangxiang, who was standing at the door, looked on as Song Mian came close to her step by step . After handing the box to her, lovingly, he said, “Happy birthday . ”

“Birthday cake?” The box might be sealed . Even so, with how close it was to her, Yun Xiangxiang could still catch the scent of it .

“En, I made it myself,” Song Mian had known Yun Xiangxiang loved cakes all along . He held back from doing so just to wait for this day .

There was a long table standing beside them . On the table sat a reflector lamp . The table was decorated with red wine and flowers . Yun Xiangxiang took the cake to the table .

She was amazed after she opened the cake box . The cake was decorated in an all-ancient style .

It almost recreated how Madam Xi looked from the back perfectly . She kept this photo when she filmed for that film . Only Song Mian had that picture sent by her .

“My skills aren’t that great yet . I could only recreate how she looked from the back,” Song Mian told Yun Xiangxiang honestly .

Yun Xiangxiang was teary-eyed from being touched . Tears streamed down her cheeks .

“Why are you crying?” This reaction from Yun Xiangxiang took Song Mian by surprise . He immediately panicked .

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head as she wiped her tears away . She could not tell him nobody put so much effort in celebrating her birthday before this .

Yun Xiangxiang at least had her parents in this life . They would celebrate it with her on time when it was her birthday .

The crew would celebrate it with her in her past life after she became popular .

Even so, nobody poured so much effort like Song Mian did .
