Chapter 288: Chapter 288 - The Lingering One
Yun Xiangxiang was shocked at the number of roses . This delivery surprised the crew . Everyone looked at her in astonishment .
The actress who played the female protagonist teased Xiangxiang . “These are the bouquets of the most expensive florist shop in Paris . ”
Paris was the city of romance . The most expensive bouquet cost tens of thousands of yuan each . Yun Xiangxiang stopped signing .
“I’m sorry, but I refuse to accept this . And do please take these back,” Yun Xiangxiang returned the pen to the courier .
“Milady, these flowers have been paid for . The buyer asked us to prepare it three days ago . Every single stalk is hand-picked by our manager,” the courier panicked .
“I will not accept this unless you tell me who sent them,” Yun Xiangxiang was adamant .
“The gentleman left no name . We only have his number,” the courier looked helpless .
“That’s fine,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t pester the courier further and took all the bouquets .
She didn’t call the number the courier gave her . Instead, she got Qi Jun . “I have ninety-nine bouquets of roses from Bellisaya . Handle them for me . Please don’t throw them away . Sell them all . ”
“Ninety-nine bouquets of roses from Bellisaya? Who sent them?” Qi Jun was taken aback . Not even he would do such a chuunibyou [1] act .
Noticing Yun Xiangxiang being so cold, the sender couldn’t have been Song Mian . He wouldn’t do something this stupid, either .
A Bellisaya bouquet would cost more than ten thousand . Ninety-nine bouquets meant the sender spent more than a million yuan on it .
Sending a bouquet was romantic . Ninety-nine was purely dumb .
As the son of a wealthy man, Qi Jun didn’t think this was romantic . He thought it was over the top .
“Don’t ask questions . Just sell them,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to open this vat of gossip .
Qi Jun laughed gleefully . “Send me your location . Some imbecile was asking me how he should propose . Now’s the time to pull a quick one on him . ”
Yun Xiangxiang sent him her location . He wasn’t lying when he said he would pull a quick one . Those roses were all sold immediately . He sent the money into the account here and gave the card to Yun Xiangxiang .
Yun Xiangxiang asked Milles about the charity organization in Paris and gave the money to He Wei, asking him to settle this .
When she received the donation receipt, Yun Xiangxiang called the number . Lucifer took the call, but he did not speak .
“Mr . Lucifer, I don’t think you should waste more of your time on me . Also, you suck at wooing girls,” Yun Xiangxiang spoke first .
Lucifer chuckled, “You’re smarter than I thought . You didn’t see me this time . How did you know it was me . ”
“Because I’m just an ordinary citizen,” Yun Xiangxiang replied flatly . “Someone like me doesn’t have rich friends like you . ”
“Wouldn’t Song Mian do something like this?” Lucifer asked .
“I told you, you suck at wooing girls . My boyfriend doesn’t,” Yun Xiangxiang said matter-of-factly .
Lucifer was unhappy that Yun Xiangxiang praised Song Mian and mocked him . He paused . “Can’t it be someone else? As far as I know, those rich guys love young, pretty actresses . ”
“Mr . Lucifer, you’re insulting my intelligence,” Yun Xiangxiang sneered . “Putting aside the difference in aesthetics, the rich here won’t necessarily find me gorgeous, even if I am beautiful in China’s eyes . Even if they find me beautiful here, they would show up after spending a million on me . ”
Nobody popped up even after a day since the roses were sent . In other words, the sender wasn’t after her looks or body .
Yun Xiangxiang only knew of a few people who would spend a million without batting an eye, but none would do it .
“I have sold the roses you sent me, and all the funds I have received were given away to charity using your name . ”
“If a rich guy like you has too much time on his hands, you can pay more attention to the impoverished and make their lives better . Your conscience will feel better too . Good day . ”
Yun Xiangxiang hung up without waiting for a reply . “I can’t believe I’m this unlucky . Wherever I go, I would meet this guy . Did he lock on to me?”
From New York to Milan, to Paris . No matter where she went in the Western world, Lucifer would be in her shadows .
He loved to attract her attention . Yun Xiangxiang despised men who used women to solve their enmity with other men .
This kind of man was thoughtless at best, classless at worst .
Yun Xiangxiang had to complain to Song Mian about this at night . “Ninety-nine bouquets . Do you know how loyal I am to you to throw all of them away without batting an eye? I didn’t even get a bouquet from you until now,” she sighed .
“Do you like bouquets?” Song Mian asked .
“Take a guess,” Yun Xiangxiang gave him a cryptic smile .
“I guess that you love me,” Song Mian lowered his voice to create the ambiguous air .
Yun Xiangxiang pretended to laugh, refusing to talk about this . “Can you get rid of this guy? Every time I see him, something bad happens . ”
“Okay, I’ll get rid of him as soon as possible,” Song Mian didn’t want any man trying to attract his girlfriend’s attention .
Especially when that someone was his enemy . Song Mian knew Lucifer was up to something bad .
With Song Mian guaranteeing he would help, Yun Xiangxiang stopped thinking about it . She hung up and went to sleep .
A few days after that, SQ notified He Wei about them being willing to have Yun Xiangxiang as their spokesperson for their lipsticks in China .
He Wei confirmed it with Yun Xiangxiang before they went to SQ’s company to sign the contract .
When she saw Chloe again, that bizarre feeling welled up in Yun Xiangxiang once more . But now that the contract was signed, Yun Xiangxiang asked humorously, “Miss Chloe, I noticed that you’ve taken a specific interest toward me . ”
“Someone told me about you before we met last time,” Chloe answered honestly .
“May I know who managed to make you remember me, Miss Chloe?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t trying to gossip . She had to know if there was something more complicated behind this . Chloe was always looking at her strangely .
It wasn’t an offensive gaze, nor was it a curious one . Chloe was trying to see through her .
It was as if Chloe saw a priceless treasure that everyone was talking about, yet Chloe knew nothing . Chloe had to know why everyone said Yun Xiangxiang was priceless .
“Someone you don’t know,” Chloe’s answer created more questions for Yun Xiangxiang .
If Chloe was sure that Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know the person, then Yun Xiangxiang must not know the person .
