Chapter 315: Chapter 315 - Making Dinner for Him
The quiet night sky wore a gown of powdery stars; as the night breeze flowed through the city, it brought with it the scent of sweetness .
Yun Xiangxiang sat in the garden, playing with the scented ball . She fell into silence after listening to Song Mian .
“What’s the matter?” Song Mian asked gently when he noticed Yun Xiangxiang being troubled .
Song Mian was also outdoors . Beneath the gleaming moonlight, the undulating mountain range was faintly visible .
The moonlight seemed to cast a sheen of light upon him, making him look taller and more muscular .
“I feel proud that my girlfriend looks at me like this . ” Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes were full of sparkling stars, just like the night sky behind her .
Yun Xiangxiang glanced at him . “Are you trying to do whatever you want just because you’re handsome?”
“Compared to that, I want to seduce…” Song Mian lowered his voice as he tried to hook Yun Xiangxiang in .
“When will you arrive tomorrow, Mr . Song?” Yun Xiangxiang diverted the topic again .
Song Mian was used to Yun Xiangxiang escaping during moments like these . “I will be setting off at nine in the morning and land in Paris at about seven . ”
“We can have dinner together so that I can prepare it for you . What do you want to eat?” Yun Xiangxiang then added, “It must be something I can make!”
Song Mian chuckled . “I’m not a picky eater, so you can do whatever you want . If you don’t feel like doing it, I can do it for you when I get there .
Yun Xiangxiang was touched . She held her cheek with one hand . “If I have to wait until you get here, dinner will be delayed until nine . ”
“I will make you a cake during the flight, so you can have it when I make dinner for you . ” Song Mian had put some thought into this .
Yun Xiangxiang was speechless .
“Okay, okay, so there’s nothing you cannot do . Get some rest, and don’t stay up during the flight . You’ve worked hard there . I’ll be going to the market tomorrow to get some ingredients for making my best dishes . ”
It had been a long while since Yun Xiangxiang went to a market; her past life was a lifetime ago .
Yun Xiangxiang had never once stepped into a market in this life, especially foreign markets . She was looking forward to it .
She could buy it and put it in her room before going to CX’s company for the shoot .
After she was done chatting with Song Mian, Yun Xiangxiang went back to her room and noticed that her friends were already lying on their beds . One of them was trying to sleep, while the other was scrolling her phone .
Yun Xiangxiang went to Song Meng’s side and snatched her phone just to toss it at her . “Stop scrolling through your phone and get some sleep . ”
“I don’t need to sleep . A single lady like me has nothing to look forward to, and I’m not sleepy . ” Song Meng took her phone back and continued scrolling .
Yun Xiangxiang powered off her phone and went to bed . She turned off the bedside lamp . “Get some sleep . I’ll make you some nice food tomorrow . ”
Song Meng clutched her phone and looked at Yun Xiangxiang . “You’re cooking?”
They grew up together, so they knew the skills their friends had well .
“En . ” Yun Xiangxiang nodded .
“Is it edible?” Song Meng doubted her friend’s cooking skills .
When she stayed at Yun Xiangxiang’s place, either Wang Yong or Song Mian did the cooking, while Yun Xiangxiang was just an assistant .
“It’s inedible, so you better not eat it tomorrow . ” Yun Xiangxiang quickly turned to her side and showed her back to Song Meng . ”
Song Meng made a face at her, but she still powered off her phone, turned off the lights, and went to sleep .
Since her appointment with CX was at ten, Yun Xiangxiang woke up early and asked Qi Jun where the market was .
“You’re going to the market?” Qi Jun was shocked .
“Yeah, I’m going there to get some ingredients so I can make dinner for Song Mian . ” Yun Xiangxiang was sporting a high ponytail today that made her look energetic .
Qi Jun was inexplicably jealous . “Write down the ingredients you need, and I’ll get someone to buy them for you . They are guaranteed fresh . ”
“I don’t want to do it myself, but since the things I can cook and the things I know about this place are limited, I need to go to the market to see what I can do tonight,” Yun Xiangxiang explained awkwardly .
“Then I’ll drive you there . The nearest market is operating today . ” Qi Jun took Yun Xiangxiang to his garage .
Yun Xiangxiang told He Wei about where she was going . She then took Song Qian and caught up with Qi Jun . “Did you say they’re operating today?”
“Yeah, the markets here don’t open every day . If we’re lucky, they’ll be open five days a week; if we’re not, we get two days a week . ” Qi Jun explained as he drove .
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect this . “Then wouldn’t the people who live near markets that are open for two days go crazy?”
“We have supermarkets here; they can go there to buy their stuff,” Qi Jun explained smilingly . “But they prefer buying in bulk when the markets are open, and the whole family would go there most of the time . ”
“So, the market will be crowded?”
“There will be more people there . The market offers more variety of ingredients for a cheaper price . ” Qi Jun nodded .
When Yun Xiangxiang arrived at the market, she found out that it wasn’t as noisy as the ones back in China, but many people jostled around . Whole families were in there, just like what Qi Jun said .
One glance and she saw couples bringing their parents and kids . There were elderly husbands and wives, and young couples too .
Unlike the buyers in Chinese markets where they were usually alone, the ones here came in pairs .
It wasn’t an open-air market, and every stall had a roof . Raw ingredients were displayed in glass cabinets, and this place didn’t sell living things .
The fish and poultry were processed well and placed on crushed ice .
Yun Xiangxiang saw a whole rabbit displayed on the ice in the glass cabinet, and there was turkey meat that had the shape of a melon .
She bought them while Qi Jun took it for her . “You sure you know how to make these?”
Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes . “I can ask the Internet . ”
If she couldn’t make it, she could surf the net for answers . Since the seller who sold turkey meat knew some Mandarin, he earnestly told Yun Xiangxiang a few ways to cook the meat .
Yun Xiangxiang immediately whipped out her phone and jotted down the steps in her memo .
After that, she would try to talk with the seller of every stall she bought ingredients from . To her surprise, every seller was a chef who had their recipes .
She bought a lot of candied fruits and homemade yogurt too . When they returned, Qi Jun had to ask a couple of his men to make two trips to get everything Yun Xiangxiang brought inside .
Seeing that she had some time left, she pickled the ingredients that had to be pickled before changing into the clothes for her shoot .
When she was going to leave, He Wei received a call . “S . Q called . They need me there for something . Can you do this alone?”
Every time Yun Xiangxiang went to shoot for a promo photo or ad, He Wei would follow along to see what the video looked like .
“Yes, I can . ” Yun Xiangxiang nodded . Putting her past life’s experience aside, this wasn’t the first time she was going for a promo shoot in her current life .
He Wei went to S . Q, while Song Qian drove Qi Jun’s car and took Yun Xiangxiang and Ai Li to the shooting venue .
As this was a rented studio, every minute of work meant money . The work with the photographer started smooth enough .
But after the photographer went to take a phone call, he came back looking distracted . As he kept on shooting, he became grumpier, and Yun Xiangxiang suffered as a result .
