Chapter 555: A Promise
Song Mian stared at her quietly and suddenly chuckled. He rubbed her head with his palm. “My silly girl, what are you so worried about? Are you afraid that I’ll suspect that you’re two-timing me?”
“I’m afraid so. Men aren’t always magnanimous when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps,” Yun Xiangxiang mumbled as she fixed her hair.
Although she was mumbling, Song Mian still understood what she meant. “How should I react then?”
Magnanimous? His girlfriend thought that he was a hypocrite. If he said anything else, she was probably going to accuse him of not trusting her.
“Hmph, now you know how troublesome it is to be a woman!” Yun Xiangxiang raised her chin proudly and snorted.
Song Mian stood up and bent over to pick Yun Xiangxiang up. Then, under Yun Xiangxiang’s bewildered gaze, he laid her down flat and pulled the blanket over her. “No matter how troublesome it is, it’s still sweet trouble. For this mouthful of honey, I’m willing to throw myself into the fire.”
He leaned over and gently kissed her soft lips. “Goodnight.”
Yun Xiangxiang only regained her composure when the door was closed. Their conversation didn’t seem to be over yet!
What did Song Mian Mean? Yun Xiangxiang struggled for a long time. She simply threw it all out of her mind and went to sleep quietly.
She slept on the plane, but she was still very tired. Yun Xiangxiang fell asleep very quickly.
The fourth day in the country of wine and flowers was the opening ceremony of the film festival, so Yun Xiangxiang could still rest for a day.
Early in the morning, Zhou Jie brought the dress to Yun Xiangxiang and asked her which one to wear. Yun Xiangxiang decisively chose the white one.
This dress was a little conservative, only revealing the collarbone and a little shoulder. The long sleeves didn’t have any designs of hollow transparent gauze.
The waist was tight, and the skirt’s irregular three-dimensional fabric and pile of gauze design could be covered by the shoes. Yun Xiangxiang could continue to make a fuss about it. This skirt was not outstanding at all, and could only be said to be normal.
The weather was too cold, so Yun Xiangxiang naturally preferred this kind of conservative design, but it was covered with a layer of golden embroidered gauze.
The texture and sense were very generous, making it seem particularly high-end. This was enough for Yun Xiangxiang.
Zhou Jie had guessed Yun Xiangxiang’s choice. She sighed helplessly but didn’t say anything. Instead, she completely followed Yun Xiangxiang’s suggestion. “Wear your hair low. I’ll design a small ornament for you to wear as a pile of gauze for the social events.”
This way, it would be very fas.h.i.+onable, and it would also show the popular aristocratic aura in the land of wine and flowers.
“Mm.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded. “I’ll wear the yellow diamonds.”
Those were Yun Xiangxiang’s own jewelry. They were one of the three diamonds that Bhamra had given her. However, they were all made by Percy. At last year’s jewelry exhibition, after her approval, they were also put on display.
Including the black jadeite jewelry, it undoubtedly caused a sensation at last year’s jewelry exhibition. At that time, there were still a lot of news reports, but Yun Xiangxiang didn’t pay much attention to it in the public welfare organizations.
Later, when Qian Yongnian returned, she brought back all the jewelry that belonged to her.
This pear-shaped yellow diamond was designed very beautifully by Percy. It was a collar that was worn around his neck.
The huge diamond was embellished with platinum petals on the right side. It was perfect for Yun Xiangxiang’s dress.
In fact, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to go to the forum because the results had not been released yet. There was nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.
Otherwise, she could make a big deal out of accessories. For example, she could bring the golden diamonds from the Katei family and guarantee that the spotlight wouldn’t leave her. The next day, she would definitely get the headlines.
These were not interesting. Yun Xiangxiang was too lazy to fight for them, so she decided to be neutral and let Zhou Jie prepare the earrings and rings.
After finis.h.i.+ng her makeup and eating lunch, Song Mian said, “I’ll take you to meet a friend.”
“Who’s the big shot this time?” Yun Xiangxiang was still a little scared after meeting Bhamra in the city of gold. She didn’t want another person to give her something.
Song Mian smiled and didn’t say anything. He just told Yun Xiangxiang to change her clothes. Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at him and went to her room.
She wore warm pants and wide-legged jeans, a medium-thick two-piece sweater, and a bright red mid-length coat. Her hair was twirled from her temples to the back of her head. She wore a red bowler hat with black satin around it.
“You’re starting to like red.” Song Mian was waiting for Yun Xiangxiang to come down, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
He had noticed it long ago, probably since the end of last year. For some reason, Yun Xiangxiang fell in love with bright red.
“Isn’t it nice?” Yun Xiangxiang put her hands in her pockets and turned around.
“Yes.” Song Mian’s eyes were sincere.
Yun Xiangxiang’s beauty was unquestionable. Her dress was sweet and fas.h.i.+onable. The red color made her fair and tender skin look even more delicate like a blooming flower.
“Then let’s go.” Yun Xiangxiang held his arm.
Song Mian was the one driving while Yun Xiangxiang sat in the pa.s.senger seat. Although it was only 0 to 4 degrees, the sun was s.h.i.+ning.
This kind of early spring sun was like a young girl who had just grown up. She was shy and tender, so gentle that she was filled with innocence. Even if someone sized her up, she wouldn’t be offended.
“I will not interfere with Brother Jin’s matters in the future. You’re right. I have tried to persuade him. I am not him. I don’t know how hard it is to let it go,” Yun Xiangxiang suddenly said to Song Mian.
Song Mian looked at her with a smile in his eyes. “Do what you want to do. Unless one day you tell me that you’re in love with someone else and that you have feelings for another man, I won’t believe any groundless news and I won’t be jealous.”
“You’re so magnanimous, I almost suspect that you don’t care about the ultimate trust.”
Women were such contradictory creatures.
“Will you?” Song Mian asked back.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she pretended to be silent and glanced at Song Mian from the corner of her eyes.
She saw that he was not in a hurry at all. He was looking straight ahead and the car was very stable.
“I won’t.” ‘Just like how you won’t suspect me, I won’t suspect you at all.’
“It’s not that I don’t care. I just don’t want my existence to create any restrictions on you.” Song Mian chuckled.
“I understand. I’ll do whatever I want in the future. If I can’t settle it, I’ll look for you.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled sweetly at him. “You too. I won’t restrict your social circle, and I won’t ask you to keep a distance from the opposite s.e.x. I’ll believe you no matter what.”
This could be considered a mutual agreement.
Song Mian didn’t reply, but his slightly raised lips revealed his happy heart.
In fact, be it a couple or a married couple, there was no need to hide anything from each other. With a little more trust and an open conversation, there would naturally be fewer conflicts.
Between the two of them, the most taboo thing about friends.h.i.+p, love, and kins.h.i.+p was that one didn’t ask and the other didn’t tell.
