Hello Mr. King

Chapter 290: She is an Admirer of Ah Mian

Yun Xiangxiang waited for Qi Jun to arrive with his wine. But he didn’t appear even when dusk was already approaching. Yun Xiangxiang called him sheepishly to urge him.

“I’m here. You can come out.”

Yun Xiangxiang lifted the hem of her evening gown and walked to the hotel’s door. She saw Qi Jun in a wine-colored tuxedo, standing in front of his car with his arms crossed.

He was still driving a crimson car. The streetlamp shone on him. The fringe on his forehead swayed with the wind. His fair complexion attracted the eyes of many.

The blood-red light that was reflected from the car added a hint of intoxicating charm to him.

“What are you doing?” Yun Xiangxiang went to him. She thought he was looking too formal.

“I have nothing better to do, so I’ll go to the party with you.” Qi Jun smirked. He was charismatic when he was serious about something.

“I can handle this myself.” This was her own business. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to drag Qi Jun into this.

“If we dawdle any longer, we’re going to be late. That would be rude,” Qi Jun opened the door and asked Yun Xiangxiang to step inside the car.

“It’s better if Young Master Qi went with you,” He Wei persuaded Yun Xiangxiang.

He had no invitation. He couldn’t go inside with Yun Xiangxiang. But Qi Jun could.

Yun Xiangxiang accepted the help reluctantly. Qi Jun brought his driver along. He didn’t sit in the passenger seat. Instead, he sat beside Yun Xiangxiang.

“Faye used to be my classmate. She admires Ah Mian,” Qi Jun whispered as the car started driving.

So that’s what it is. Yun Xiangxiang finally knew what was going on. Somehow, Faye must have known about her existence.

Since Faye and Chloe were best friends, she must have complained about it to Chloe. Faye was probably the perfect woman in Chloe’s eyes. That was why Chloe doubted why Yun Xiangxiang won the battle of love.

Chloe must be thinking that Yun Xiangxiang was inferior to Faye in every aspect. She couldn’t understand why Song Mian chose Yun Xiangxiang.

“So she’s a romantic rival,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled.

“It’s not like that, no. Ah Mian never had any ideas about her. He even rejected her in front of us,” Qi Jun defended his childhood friend.

“Don’t be nervous, Young Master Qi. I’m not someone who gets jealous easily,” Yun Xiangxiang was amused. “It has been a year since I started dating Ah Mian. This is the first time I’m seeing someone who likes him. Obviously, she’s not giving up yet.”

Qi Jun looked at Yun Xiangxiang deeply. He relaxed when he noticed that she wasn’t pretending to be calm. “Among us three, Song Mian has the most admirers.”

They were on the same level in terms of looks, but Song Mian’s eyes were too unique. He kept it hidden behind the sunglasses most of the time, so not many have seen it. But those who did fell for him.

Their difference was in their temperament. Han Zhaolin was as cold as a block of ice. He was the insolent guy for those who didn’t know him.

Song Mian was a graceful noble. Coupled with his medical skills, he was well-received everywhere.

“I would be surprised if no one admires him. He’s too excellent.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mind someone admiring her boyfriend.

It only spoke volumes about her taste. That meant her boyfriend was excellent enough. She couldn’t avoid this. What she could do was to face it.

“That’s an interesting reaction,” Qi Jun was curious. Everyone else should feel uncomfortable about this.

Qi Jun wasn’t trying to make Yun Xiangxiang unhappy. He was trying to warn her. Faye wasn’t the only one admiring Song Mian.

If Faye knew about Yun Xiangxiang, that meant this wouldn’t be a secret anymore. If Yun Xiangxiang worked her way up to the world, she would meet another one of Song Mian’s admirers somewhere else. This was just a start.

“I have expected this from the moment I decided dating him,” Yun Xiangxiang answered honestly.

Yun Xiangxiang knew who Song Mian was before they dated. She wasn’t a naive girl. She knew someone like Song Mian would have many admirers.

If those admirers could cross paths with Song Mian, it meant they were at least had a better background than Yun Xiangxiang did, even if they were not as powerful as Song Mian.

Any admirer would be more powerful than her family was.

Yun Xiangxiang was touched by Song Mian’s meticulous care on her. As she had decided to try dating him for once, Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t back off.

Not now when she had already completely fallen for Song Mian. She wouldn’t go down without a fight.

“You are worthy of Ah Mian’s true love,” Qi Jun acknowledged Yun Xiangxiang.

He was nice to her because he respected his childhood friend and trusted his taste. Qi Jun would, of course, respect the girlfriend Song Mian introduced so formally.

When Qi Jun got along with Yun Xiangxiang, he noticed that the girl was a hidden gem. She didn’t have the naivety of an eighteen-year-old. Instead, she had the wisdom and calmness far beyond her age.

Yun Xiangxiang upon finding out who Faye was, nor did she beat herself up. Her confidence didn’t stem from Song Mian choosing her as his girlfriend.

It stemmed from the fact that she was confident in herself. As for money and power, she could work for it.

“Thank you,” Yun Xiangxiang wanted to be acknowledged by those important to Song Mian. “You didn’t tell Ah Mian about this, right?”

“Not yet. I didn’t make it in time,” Qi Jun started dressing himself up when he took Yun Xiangxiang’s call. He didn’t have time to tell Song Mian.”

“Then, don’t tell him. This is the women’s battlefield,” Yun Xiangxiang looked quietly at Qi Jun.

“Okay,” Qi Jun made the Okay gesture. He wasn’t a gossip boy. If Yun Xiangxiang told him to stay out, then that was what he would do.

“What is this Faye like?” Information was the key to victory. Since they used to be classmates, Qi Jun must know something about Faye.

“Her mother and grandmother are Chinese, so she looks a lot like us. She’s a prideful girl who knows how to make everything go her way,” Qi Jun praised Faye highly. “Her father and grandfather love her a lot.”

Faye was an aristocrat beloved by her family. That was what Yun Xiangxiang gleaned.

The manors in Paris were no ordinary manors. They were consecrated, dreamy castles.

Under the night sky, the castle was lit up brightly by the golden lights. It stood resplendent like a palace.

Qi Jun’s car went inside without any problems. They went into the great hall after they were admitted. When they stepped into the hall, what greeted them was a gathering of the blue blood.

Yun Xiangxiang and Qi Jun gave the gifts they brought to the waiters at the sides before going inside, looking at ease.

Qi Jun greeted everyone he knew and took Yun Xiangxiang to fill a glass of wine before going straight to the birthday girl.

The birthday girl was holding her father’s arms. Her father was a middle-aged Frenchman of mixed descent. He was tall and majestic.
