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

He actually didnt 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 wasnt too willing.

Yun Xiangxiang brought a surprise for him and them by herself. She didnt just understand the philosophy behind the jewelry; she even expressed it with her body.

MonRoes identity as a top brand; Percys fondness toward her. The combination of these conditions stacked the recompense to this number.

No, Brother Wei. I didnt have the chance to do anything, Yun Xiangxiang couldnt 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 wasnt the first time Yun Xiangxiang nagged about paying him back. He Wei didnt 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 hell just let her be.

Yun Xiangxiangs 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 Mians 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. Ill 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 wasnt trying to interfere in Yun Xiangxiangs life, but he was responsible for her safety.

Hes 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 drivers seat and one passenger seat. Yun Xiangxiang noticed that the driver was Song Mian in casual attire.

Youre 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 didnt 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 wouldnt 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 didnt stop her. He even gave her some work to do. Both of them didnt 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, sharks fins, sea cucumbers, pork bellies, duck meat

Im 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,Yyou are not making Buddhas 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 afternoons worth of time.

No wonder Song Mian started his preparations so early, Acactually, you dont have to trouble yourself

This was too lavish. Yun Xiangxiang only heard of this dish in her previous life. She couldnt 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 Buddhas Temptation and kept longing for it than having a counterfeit, so that it wouldnt affect its holiness in her heart

As long as you like it, I wont feel troubled even for my whole life. Song Mians glittering eyes gazed at Yun Xiangxiang deeply.

Yun Xiangxiang felt her face getting scalding hot from his gaze. She didnt know how to take it from there. Song Mian must have known why she came here, so he didnt hide anything anymore, Ill 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 couldnt 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 didnt. He didnt coerce her into anything. What he said wasnt 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 wasnt 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 wasnt 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 didnt 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 womans tender heart. Even Yun Xiangxiang couldnt bear to reject it.

But she was someone who was mature enough to know that the reason she couldnt reject him stemmed from the vanity and greed that any normal human would have. It wasnt because she truly liked Song Mian.

She had to keep her cool. She couldnt allow herself to trample on Song Mians innocent feelings.
