Chapter 283: About Qi Jun
Yun Xiangxiang laughed, but she quietened down when her girlfriends stared daggers at her. “I’ll introduce you girls to Ah Mian’s buddy tomorrow. He’s a funny guy.”
“He?” Song Meng was interested.
Song Meng was curious. If Song Mian’s friend was a girl, wouldn’t Yun Xiangxiang get jealous? But if it were a guy, wouldn’t Song Mian worry?
“He’s a childhood friend.” Yun Xiangxiang explained, “Just like how you two are to me.”
“So that’s how it is,” Song Meng nodded.
Childhood friends were different. As long as they had their morality, they wouldn’t destroy such a long-lasting friends.h.i.+p just for a guy or a girl.
Song Meng and Li Xiangling wouldn’t have any ideas about Yun Xiangxiang’s boyfriend. By the same token, Song Meng thought that Song Mian’s childhood friend must be a decent guy.
The girls went to sleep with excitement. On the next day, Yun Xiangxiang told He Wei about where they were going before they waited for Qi Jun at their place. He Wei knew Song Mian. He didn’t worry about Yun Xiangxiang. Since he came here to settle Yun Xiangxiang’s business, He Wei didn’t go with the girls.
When Yun Xiangxiang saw Qi Jun for the first time, she was shocked.
He was in a white tuxedo. There were huge flowers embroidered on his pants and suit. He wore a pink s.h.i.+rt underneath the outer suit.
He looked like a pretty boy trying to hook up with the girls.
Qi Jun was a clean, handsome man. Thanks to that, even though he looked like he was trying to hook up, he still managed to look good.
Aside from its ostentatious appearance, the suit was skilfully made of quality materials. It showed off Qi Jun’s tall, slender figure.
He also drove a flashy, red car. His appearance attracted the same attention as a superstar would.
“My n.o.ble lady, are you impressed by my charm?” Qi Jun gave Yun Xiangxiang a bouquet. “This is for you.”
Yun Xiangxiang took it. “Thank you.”
Aside from her fans, this was her first time receiving a bouquet from a guy.
“Ooh, three for the price of one. And these two ladies are…?” Qi Jun asked.
“They’re my girlfriends. This is Li Xiangling, and this is Song Meng,” Yun Xiangxiang introduced her girlfriends. She then introduced Qi Jun. “This is Song Mian’s childhood friend. He’s Qi Jun.”
“h.e.l.lo, uncle.” Song Meng extended her hand. How dare he call us gifts?! Song Meng thought.
“Uncle?” Qi Jun pointed to himself. He couldn’t believe that such a handsome young man like him was called uncle. “Miss Song, I think you need to get your eyes checked. I know the experts in this field. Do you need me to recommend them to you?”
“Thank you, Uncle Qi. But my eyesight is at 5.0. It would help if you kept those experts for yourself,” Song Meng retorted mercilessly.
Qi Jun was annoyed, but since it was their first meeting, he couldn’t go on the offensive yet. “A gentleman does not fight with women. Please, do get in the car, my n.o.ble lady.”
Yun Xiangxiang sat in the pa.s.senger seat, while her girlfriends sat in the back seats. Qi Jun took them to the vineyard.
“How long will you be here for filming?” Qi Jun asked as he drove.
When he knew Yun Xiangxiang was coming, Qi Jun checked everything about her online yesterday. He knew she was here for filming.
“Forty or fifty days. Probably,” Yun Xiangxiang made a rough estimation.
“Are you planning to stay at the hotel?” Qi Jun continued.
“The crew arranged it for me. It’s more convenient that way,” Yun Xiangxiang nodded smilingly.
She disliked asking for special treatment during work. She wasn’t the only star in the crew. If she asked for special treatment for everything from accommodation to working hours, that would be unprofessional of her.
She wouldn’t be able to film the film’s soul. Foreign actors usually wouldn’t ask for special treatment.
Qi Jun stopped asking about it when he noticed Yun Xiangxiang’s stance on this. He talked about other things with the girls.
Li Xiangling had always been a woman of few words. Astonis.h.i.+ngly, the usual boy crazy Song Meng was cold toward Qi Jun’s das.h.i.+ng looks. Save for the little skirmish earlier. Song Meng was polite to him.
Qi Jun started talking about his own experiences. It quickly hooked Li Xiangling and Song Meng. Qi Jun started traveling around the world at sixteen.
He knew a lot and had seen a lot. He had a lot of stories to tell. Even Yun Xiangxiang was immersed in them.
Before they knew it, they were already at the vineyard. It was huge. The grapes grew by the thousands. They were glittering under the sun, looking delectable.
“A shame they aren’t ripe yet,” Qi Jun thought it was a pity. He could have taken the girls to pluck them if they were ripe. “But they will be next month. If you girls are still here, do come here for a taste. I can treat you to the best wine here today.”
Qi Jun had his servants prepare the snacks. There were the famous macaron, souffle, and Opera cake.
He uncorked a bottle of red wine and poured a gla.s.s for everyone. Under Yun Xiangxiang’s request, he added some ice for her.
“You can only have one gla.s.s,” Qi Jun didn’t forget what Song Mian told him.
“Why?” Song Meng didn’t realize that Qi Jun was so stingy.
“I am a lousy drinker,” Yun Xiangxiang explained. “Ah Mian forbade me from drinking too much alcohol.”
He didn’t want her to have too many cold drinks.
“This tastes different from what I had in China,” Song Meng took a macaron.
She thought it was because of the differences in the two countries’ tastes. China didn’t sell great macarons.
She now knew the difference between authentic macarons and fake macarons. The authentic ones were delicious. No wonder it was famous.
After the snacks, Qi Jun took them to take in the vineyard’s magnificence and told them about the different types of grapes.
He explained the process of making wine and treated them to lunch in the vineyard. It was a seafood hot pot.
They had the freshest oysters, lobsters, snails, and crabs. Whatever seafood was out there, they had them all. Li Xiangling and Song Meng had a delightful lunch.
Unlike her trip to El Dorado, the public knew Yun Xiangxiang was here to film “First Love.” The reporters followed her every move. Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t go around Paris.
Even so, Qi Jun wouldn’t disappoint them. He took them on a yacht to drink in the whole of Paris as they traveled down the river.
There were only four of them on the yacht. They looked lonely. Not even Yun Xiangxiang’s team had come with her.
They might be lonely, but the scenery did make Song Meng, and Li Xiangling cheer with delight. The girls snapped countless photos.
“Any good tour guides you can recommend to me?” Yun Xiangxiang looked at her friends, who screamed in delight as she asked Qi Jun.
“I will bring you to wherever you want to go myself.” It was unacceptable for Qi Jun to let his childhood friend’s girlfriend look for a tour guide.
“I’ll be filming two days later. I want to get someone to take them on tour around Paris.” Yun Xiangxiang was thinking about her girlfriends.”
She couldn’t trouble Qi Jun. Without Yun Xiangxiang, it would be awkward for Qi Jun to take two girls alone. Yun Xiangxiang was also worried that her friends couldn’t be themselves with him around.”
“Alright, then. I’ll get one for you. Call me if anything happens,” Qi Jun agreed readily.
