Chapter 177: Lu Jin’s First Love

“Is…is he still okay?” Yun Xiangxiang heard something crash a few times. She felt Qi Jun must have been badly hurt.

“Still alive,” Song Mian replied indifferently. Immediately, he asked, “Is my girlfriend missing me after a day of being separated?”

Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, “I need to talk to you about something. I b.u.mped into Lucifer today…”

Her intuition has always been true to her. Lucifer radiated a dangerous vibe. Yun Xiangxiang must set up defenses against him.

Song Mian listened to Yun Xiangxiang’s story. He replied, “I guarantee you that he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you.”

“En,” Yun Xiangxiang only wanted Song Mian to know about this. She did not want to discuss strangers any further, “When will you be back?”

“Not sure,” Song Mian did not know how much longer the delay would be either.

“I’ll be going back after the fas.h.i.+on week tomorrow,” Yun Xiangxiang briefly spoke of her itinerary. “Be careful out there, you.”

They were deep in a jungle among the mountains. Qi Jun might be an expert in surviving the wild, but Yun Xiangxiang was still worried for Song Mian.

“Don’t worry. For you, I will keep myself safe,” Song Mian replied tenderly.

This guy doesn’t let go of any opportunity to flirt. Yun Xiangxiang could not stand it, “Go back to your work. I have to go now.”

Song Mian hung up. He did have something he needed to do, as well as making arrangements about the matter of Lucifer.

He Wei had come back too. He sent her the gown and jewelry that she needed to wear tomorrow.

Actors from around the world would be in the fas.h.i.+on week. Her jewelry was still MonRoe’s product. MonRoe had its stores in Italy too.

Yun Xiangxiang opened the box that contained her gown. Holding it up, she looked at He Wei, “Brother Wei, did you tell Song Mian about my itinerary?”

“I did not. He would have somebody send numerous gowns at random times,” He Wei explained. “I knew you were going to be at a fas.h.i.+on show before I came, so I just simply took one of them with me.”

He didn’t know what kind of gown he took either.

The gowns Song Mian sent were either kept in a box or kept under wraps by a cover.

The gown Yun Xiangxiang had in her hands had a light gauze texture. As it did not need to face the worries of wrinkles, it was kept in a box.

“It’s gorgeous,” He Wei had to praise the gown Song Mian sent. It was cla.s.sy and beautiful. On top of that, it matched Yun Xiangxiang’s age.

It was a frilled halter neck dress that was connected using pink and teal colored gauze. The top was in pink, while the dress was an aquamarine high waist. The teal dress flowed naturally. Its top had double-layered flare sleeves, which were connected to the top. The layer of pink stretched to the wrist, while the layer of teal stretched to the palms.

It was flowingly elegant, possessing a fairylike air of China’s wide-sleeved deities. A lotus made of pink and teal gauze sat on the waist of the dress.

Lithe and elegant. Flowing in the wind. The dress was just as pastel-like and charming as Yun Xiangxiang. From the hem of the dress, the thin rope that adorned the ta.s.sel unfurled down to the ankle.

Yun Xiangxiang quickly became the center of attention when she appeared upon the red carpet with Lu Jin and He Wei.

Lu Jinn was already the most beloved Chinese movie star in Italy. Yun Xiangxiang’s nickname as the Eastern Angel was also slightly famous in Europe.

However, the trio only came as spectators. There were other Chinese movie stars who had come too. They greeted each other when they entered the venue.

“Hi, Jin,” the trio had only arrived at their spots with the lead of the organiser’s staff when a s.e.xy female voice called out to them.

Yun Xiangxiang turned around. The woman who greeted her eyes was Kaya, an international best actress in Italy. She was twenty-eight this year.

She was tall and slender. With her deep-set blue eyes, a tall nose and fair skin, her movements carried with it an ineffable elegance. A certain purity and grace radiated from her.

“I’ll be back soon,” Lu Jin told Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei before walking toward Kaya.

“This best actress, Kaya. She seems to have a thing for Brother Jin,” a woman’s sixth sense was usually correct.

Yun Xiangxiang was astonished to find out that Lu Jin’s charisma could make even an Italian A-lister fall for him.

“It’s not going to work between them,” He Wei sat in their spots. He chatted with Yun Xiangxiang when he noticed no one else was around them.

Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled. Lu Jin might not seem to feel anything toward Kaya now, but it’s usually easy for a woman to pursue a man.

Kaya was a stunner in every way. On top of that, she was pa.s.sionate and active. Why was He Wei so sure about them not working out?

“No woman can attract him, except for the one in his past,” He Wei explained sagely to Yun Xiangxiang.

“Who managed to make Brother Jun fall for her?!” Yun Xiangxiang could not stop herself from gossiping.

Lu Jin was the standard of good and innocent men within the entertainment industry. He was embroiled in no scandal since his debut as a child star. There was no news of his relations.h.i.+p so far either. Some unscrupulous press spread rumors about him being gay because of this.

Yun Xiangxiang noticed that Lu Jin was not pa.s.sionate toward anyone when she was filming “The King’s Plan.” It was as if he wanted nothing from the world.

Can such an excellent man like Lu Jin love someone secretly? Could it even be an unrequited love?

Yun Xiangxiang was curious about the woman who had such charm. Lu Jin’s fans would go crazy if they knew.

“The woman had pa.s.sed away,” He Wei sounded regretful.

So that’s how it is. Yun Xiangxiang looked at Lu Jin who constantly keeping his distance with Kaya from afar.

“Do you know about Hua Xiangrong?” He Wei suddenly asked.

Yun Xiangxiang immediately tensed up. She widened her eyes and looked incredulously at He Wei. There was even fear within them.

“He mentioned it to you before?” He Wei frowned in displeasure when he saw Yun Xiangxiang’s reaction. “He mentioned to me before that you are just like her.”

Yun Xiangxiang felt chilly in her limbs. The answer to her question earlier was already obvious. Even so, Yun Xiangxiang still asked, “Brother Wei, are you saying that Brother Jin’s first love is… is senior Hua Xiangrong?”

He Wei nodded solemnly, “I am telling you this so that you will keep some distance between you and him from now on.”

He Wei disliked gossiping. Even talking about anyone’s secret was not something he liked. However, when Lu Jin told him about how Yun Xiangxiang was similar to Hua Xiangrong, he needed to pay attention to this.

As they both loved billiards, He Wei and Lu Jin were friends in private. He used to use Lu Jin to spur Xue Yu on. That was why Xue Yu disliked Lu Jin.

Aside from He Wei, n.o.body in the entertainment industry knew Lu Jin loved Hua Xiangrong. Lu Jin only told him because they were in the same company, and he trusted He Wei. In private, Lu Jin also wished He Wei would take care of Hua Xiangrong.

He Wei did not want Lu Jin to take Yun Xiangxiang as replacement. There was also the fact that Yun Xiangxiang had someone she liked now.

Yun Xiangxiang never encountered such confusion before in both her lives. She did not interact much with Lu Jin in her past life.

One was a celebrity with a huge fan base who was trying to swim upward.

One was a s.h.i.+ning international best actor who was famous since he was young.

The only movie they were in together was the one where she made a special appearance as a female extra. He was the male protagonist, the box office guarantee. They did not even have any scenes together.

They would b.u.mp into each other occasionally after that. Even so, they were just polite greetings. She would never try to ingratiate herself with anyone. Besides, wherever Lu Jin went, he would be surrounded by people. They never had the chance to talk.

“What’s the matter with you?” He Wei asked concernedly when he noticed Yun Xiangxiang’s strange behavior.
