Hello Mr. King - Chapter 89

Chapter 89

“The contract will be for two years . This much,” He Wei gestured at Yun Xiangxiang .

 He actually didn’t expect the negotiations to go to this number . He paid more importance to the fame it would bring than the reward .

 Austin was reluctant to agree before Yun Xiangxiang came . He Wei felt that he wasn’t too willing .

 Yun Xiangxiang brought a surprise for him and them by herself . She didn’t just understand the philosophy behind the jewelry; she even expressed it with her body .

 MonRoe’s identity as a top brand; Percy’s fondness toward her . The combination of these conditions stacked the recompense to this number .

 “No, Brother Wei . I didn’t have the chance to do anything,” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t express anything but gratitude toward He Wei . “With this, I can clear my debt to you . ”

 It was only clearing the debt . She had paid a third of it before this . As for the remaining two thirds of the debt, after deducting tax and giving half of it to the company, Yun Xiangxiang still had to fork a few million out to be able to just clear her debt with He Wei .

 She was still a pauper . She still had to work hard to be able to pay Song Qian and Ai Li!

 It wasn’t the first time Yun Xiangxiang nagged about paying him back . He Wei didn’t reject it anymore . It was obvious that Yun Xiangxiang was loath to owing anyone anything . If paying her debt could make her feel relaxed, then he’ll just let her be .

 Yun Xiangxiang’s phone rang just as the car was stopping in front of the hotel . Going by the ringtone, it was Song Mian who was calling .

 “Xiangxiang, is today okay?” Song Mian’s voice came through .

 “Sure . Where are you?” Yun Xiangxiang had some free time in the afternoon . She would start shooting for the promotional video and advertisement tomorrow .

 “Send your location to me . I’ll come pick you up,” said Song Mian .

 “Okay,” Yun Xiangxiang hung up and sent her location to Song Mian on WeChat . She turned her head sideways and told He Wei, “Brother Wei, you go back to the hotel first . I have to meet a friend . ”

 “You have friends here?” He Wei wasn’t trying to interfere in Yun Xiangxiang’s life, but he was responsible for her safety .

 “He’s the one who recommended Ai Li and Song Qian to me . Ai Li will be together with me,” Yun Xiangxiang explained .

 He Wei hesitated for a moment before dropping Yun Xiangxiang and Ai Li off while he drove to the parking lot .

 Around five minutes later, a low-profile black Lamborghini stopped in front of Yun Xiangxiang .

 It was a sports car that only had the driver’s seat and one passenger seat . Yun Xiangxiang noticed that the driver was Song Mian in casual attire .

 “You’re very safe, because I am here,” Song Mian turned his head sideways and smiled at Yun Xiangxiang .

 Yun Xiangxiang thought about how inconvenient it would be if there was someone else besides them in the issue they were going to talk about . She asked Ai Li to go back while she got into the car herself .

 Song Mian didn’t bring Yun Xiangxiang to any high end Western restaurants or luxurious places . He instead drove her to an elegantly beautiful bungalow with pristine surroundings .

 “This is where I live . I know you like Chinese cuisine . Give me a chance to show you what I can do . ”

 “You even know how to cook?” Yun Xiangxiang was surprised .

 To her, Song Mian was someone who wouldn’t concern himself over mortal affairs . He was like a young noble that sprung out of an ancient family; respectable and elegant .

 “I am a human too,” He seemed to see through what Yun Xiangxiang was thinking . “A modern human . ” Song Mian emphasized .

 Yun Xiangxiang pursed her lips into a smile and followed Song Mian into the house .

 There was no extravagant refurbishment with the house . Blue and white were its main colors . It made people think about blue skies and white clouds . It was refreshing, capacious, and free .

 Various ingredients were already sprawling on the kitchen counter . All of them still unwashed .

 Yun Xiangxiang tied her hair up in a bun and took off her jacket before coming into the kitchen to help . She already noticed that there was only Song Mian and herself here .

 Song Mian didn’t stop her . He even gave her some work to do . Both of them didn’t talk much when they were preparing the ingredients . Yun Xiangxiang noticed how Song Mian was holding the knife when she was washing her hands . She also noticed that Song Mian was chopping fluidly .

 She leaned against the wall while looking at his figure that was standing in front of the chopping board . He should be 1 . 88 meters tall . The upper half of his slender body was slightly arched . Even the sight of him with his head lowered to concentrate on chopping the vegetables was as pleasing to look at as a man in a painting .

 “How many dishes do you want to make?” Yun Xiangxiang took a glance . There were abalones, shark’s fins, sea cucumbers, pork bellies, duck meat…

 “I’m only making one,” Song Mian smiled mysteriously at Yun Xiangxiang .

 Yun Xiangxiang thought that it was weird that so many ingredients would only be used for one dish .

 She suddenly reacted and asked hesitantly,”Y…you are not making Buddha’s Temptation[1], are you!”

 “This is my first time cooking for you . Naturally I will serve you with the best dish I can make,” Song Mian nodded . “And we just happen to have an afternoon’s worth of time . ”

 No wonder Song Mian started his preparations so early, “Ac…actually, you don’t have to trouble yourself…”

 This was too lavish . Yun Xiangxiang only heard of this dish in her previous life . She couldn’t even afford it with her financial status .

 She thought that nobody would be able to recreate the ancient flavor . She would rather go without tasting Buddha’s Temptation and kept longing for it than having a counterfeit, so that it wouldn’t affect its holiness in her heart

 “As long as you like it, I won’t feel troubled even for my whole life . ” Song Mian’s glittering eyes gazed at Yun Xiangxiang deeply .

 Yun Xiangxiang felt her face getting scalding hot from his gaze . She didn’t know how to take it from there . Song Mian must have known why she came here, so he didn’t hide anything anymore, “I’ll go have a glass of water . ”

 Yun Xiangxiang swiftly went to the living room after she mumbled an excuse . She was really thirsty though . She sat on a chair in the dining hall after she filled a glass with water . She was a little messed up right now .

 She couldn’t move an inch not because she fell for him . Song Mian was like a god who stood atop of everything . He could have gotten everything he wanted just by willing it . But he didn’t . He didn’t coerce her into anything . What he said wasn’t any kind of solemn pledge, but Yun Xiangxiang could truly feel his sincerity .

 His every word came from the most earnest feelings in the depths of his heart .

 He wasn’t being curious about her all of a sudden; nor was it limited to her being slightly different to other women .

 He was clear about his feelings and gave his best to pursue her .

 A perfect man wasn’t seductive . A perfect man who got serious was the true lethal temptation!

 Yun Xiangxiang suddenly found herself unable to say anything about declining him . She had always known that everyone was equal . She had always put Song Mian and herself on the same line of human rights . However, she now felt that it would be a grave sin if she turned him down .

 She thought that she didn’t have the right to refuse the wholeheartedness of such a man .

 She felt absolute sincerity and respect from Song Mian .

 It was the best treatment a man could give to a woman .

 It pierced directly at a woman’s tender heart . Even Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t bear to reject it .

 But she was someone who was mature enough to know that the reason she couldn’t reject him stemmed from the vanity and greed that any normal human would have . It wasn’t because she truly liked Song Mian .

 She had to keep her cool . She couldn’t allow herself to trample on Song Mian’s innocent feelings .
