Chapter 284: Amazing Boyfriend

As they chatted, Yun Xiangxiang found out that Qi Jun would stay here for a few days, as he had business to do . But he would leave as soon as he was done with it .

Qi Jun didn’t go into the details about his business . Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t ask either .

As dusk descended upon the city, it was showered in golden light . Every street, every building lit up, turning the city into a star upon the earth . Watching this unfurl as they enjoyed the sea breeze while they were on the yacht was pure bliss . Qi Jun hired a great chef to make the girls some famous dishes, which included foie gras and snails .

It was a bit over nine when they returned to the hotel . Song Meng still wanted to play, but she knew Yun Xiangxiang needed the rest for the work ahead .

“Did you girls have fun?” Song Mian asked .

“We did . Thank you so much . ” Yun Xiangxiang knew Song Mian arranged this . Qi Jun wasn’t someone meticulous .

Song Mian even did this under the condition of not exposing her to the media . She wouldn’t be photographed, and the paparazzi wouldn’t have anything bad to write about her .

“Making sure my girlfriend is happy is my responsibility,” Song Mian smiled . “You shouldn’t go out tomorrow . Rest up for your work . I’ll ask Jun to take you to see someone . ”

“Who is it?” Yun Xiangxiang was curious about everything Song Mian did for her .

“It’s an old man . You’ll know when you see him tomorrow,” Song Mian kept it a secret . “It’s getting late . You better go to sleep . ”

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t ask anything more about the surprise Song Mian had in mind . “You too . Sleep tight . Good night . ”

The best thing about coming to Paris was that it had no time difference to where Song Mian was .

Whenever she thought about how she and Song Mian went to sleep at the same time, Yun Xiangxiang slept better .

He Wei needed to go a different way the next day . He asked the girls about their plans for the day .

Yun Xiangxiang told him she would be going out with someone Song Mian arranged for her . Not long after He Wei left, Qi Jun arrived to take them to visit a French gentleman . The old gentleman lived in a lovely house . Every corner of it was full of artistic soul .

They saw a lot of paintings the moment they stepped into the house . They were imaginative and impactful paintings .

“This is Mr . Ebner . ” Qi Jun introduced the house’s owner to Yun Xiangxiang . “He is a celebrated painter . ”

Yun Xiangxiang did learn about painting before . She dabbled in traditional Chinese painting and sketching . She was no expert . It was just another skill of hers .

She didn’t know anyone in the field of art . But since even Qi Jun lauded Ebner’s skill, the gentleman must be one of a kind .

Yun Xiangxiang politely introduced herself and her friends to Mr . Ebner .

“You look prettier than in the photos,” Ebner praised Yun Xiangxiang .

“Photos?” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled .

“You don’t know yet?” Ebner was surprised .

Yun Xiangxiang looked at Qi Jun in confusion . His only reply was a cryptic smile .

“Please come with me,” Ebner invited Yun Xiangxiang to his studio . It took up two hundred square meters of room . Behind the studio was the exhibition hall .

Everything in the exhibition hall was Ebner’s masterpieces . The girls might not understand the nuances of oil painting, but it didn’t stop them from admiring the works .

Ebner finally led Yun Xiangxiang to a covered painting standing in front of a wall . “You can uncover it . ”

Yun Xiangxiang could guess what was under the cloth, but when she uncovered it, she was still stunned .

The painting was thirty centimeters tall, fifty centimeters wide . The person in the painting was her, and yet it wasn’t her .

The girl in the painting had Yun Xiangxiang’s look, but her fashion was based on how the French dressed in the eighties .

She was holding some black tulips under the sun, turning back to smile as she stood within the sea of black tulips .

The sunlight illuminated her, and yet it felt so surreal .

“She looks vague . Unreal, even . ” This was Li Xiangling’s first impression .

“No she doesn’t . Look at how holy she is under that sunlight . ” This was what Song Meng felt .

“They look contradictory to me,” Qi Jun voiced his opinion .

WIth the brilliant sunlight sprinkling its golden gleam down the sea of flowers, it should be a world where only dreams existed . And yet the blooming flowers were the darkest tulips . The contrast between black and white hit them hard .

Yun Xiangxiang’s smile looked flawless, but when they looked at it for a while longer, the smile looked insidiously cold .

“Mr . Ebner, you truly are an amazing painter,” Yun Xiangxiang was astonished by the painting .

Only she knew what this painting meant . This was the painting in “First Love . ” The male protagonist’s imaginary lover – Amy . The protagonist hung that painting in the most conspicuous spot in his house .

This was an important part in the film . The black tulips meant power . When the protagonist painted this, he was mocking the twisted society back then .

“No . You have an amazing boyfriend,” Ebner shrugged .

Song Mian asked him to make this painting a few months ago . He provided Yun Xiangxianhg’s photo for Ebner, requesting that the person in the painting look exactly like her .

Song Mian described most of the painting in painstaking detail . What Ebner did was just recreate it in a different medium . Only a little part of the painting was his own idea .

When Ebner made this painting, it seemed to take on a life of its own . Ebner followed that trail of life, and completed this painting in record time . Thanks to the painting taking its own path, everyone would interpret it differently .

This was a magical painting . It was Ebner’s magnum opus .

“Does this painting belong to me?” Yun Xiangxiang asked Ebner . She had never felt such a strong desire to possess something .

The moment she saw this painting, Yun Xiangxiang felt like she must have it . She would place it in her home and treasure it .

“It does,” Ebner nodded . But his eyes said that he was reluctant . “But I do hope that you’ll fulfill my humble request . I wish to take this to this year’s Salon art exhibition . ”

Enber believed that this painting would astonish everyone .

When he agreed to create this painting, part of it was because he wanted to repay Song Mian . But halfway through the painting, Ebner knew that this was one of the best decisions he had made .

The Salon art exhibition in France was touted as the world’s most prestigious art exhibition . Painters from all around the world would congregate at this event .

If Ebner could be awarded because of this, he would step up to a new level of fame . Yun Xiangxiang, who was the subject of the painting, would also enjoy international fame . It was something everyone could only aspire to, and never achieve .

“Do I have this painting’s right to use?” Yun Xiangxiang queried .

“Yes . I only have the right to credit . ” Song Mian made an agreement with Ebner before he started work . Except for crediting this work to him, everything else belonged to Yun Xiangxiang .

This was the condition Ebner agreed to . The world could only know that he created this painting . Everything else was off-limits .

“Mr . Ebner, I can grant you that request . I hope it brings you luck . ” Yun Xiangxiang gazed at the painting deeply . “But I need to take it away now . ”
