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 .
