Chapter 376 - Another Trip to New York
Chapter 376: Another Trip to New York
Song Mian looked at Yun Xiangxiang, who was leaning against his embrace. He thought that something was weird.
Yun Xiangxiang had a happy family, but the yearning for a family she had shown didn’t look like it came from someone who grew up in this family.
From the very start, he thought her occasional contradictory actions were quite different from what he considered a normal Yun Xiangxiang would be.
Song Mian wasn’t that imaginative, so he didn’t think Yun Xiangxiang’s soul was changed, but he thought she had gone through some sad events without her parents knowing about it, and she didn’t want to talk about that.
Song Mian didn’t want to mention it because that was her sad past, and touching on it might expose her scar.
But he was worried she might be traumatized, so he was in a dilemma.
Even so, he had never shown this side of him in front of Yun Xiangxiang, so she didn’t know Song Mian was starting to worry about her.
“Let’s go to New York first thing tomorrow morning, Ah Mian.” Yun Xiangxiang leaned in Song Mian’s embrace and looked up into the starry sky.
“What are you afraid of?” The award ceremony was a live event, and Song Mian didn’t miss one second of it, so he knew what happened.
“I don’t want to get too much attention.” It was an annoying statement, but that was what she thought.
With what happened at the film festival, He Wei would be taking a hundred calls by the next day, no, today.
There would be a lot of requests for interviews so they could have exclusive news about her. They would garner a lot of following with how high her momentum was now.
“Everyone else strikes while the iron is still hot while you are worried about getting into trouble.” Song Mian was amused.
“I don’t like to use someone else as a stepping stone, nor do I like to claim someone else’s credit either.” She might look pretentious by doing this, but she would do her best not to ride on someone’s coattails.
They were clamoring for her all because of Joseph.
Nobody would care about her if Joseph was just an ordinary director.
As she thought of this, Yun Xiangxiang turned on her side, and she wrapped her arm around Song Mian’s back before putting her hand on his shoulder. She looked at him as her eyes sparkled brighter than the stars and the sun. “If I wanted to ride on someone’s coattails, I’d ride yours.”
She would be stupid if she rode on someone else’s coattails instead of Song Mian’s.
Song Mian suddenly stood up and princess-hugged her. “If you don’t want to ride on my coattails, then I’ll be riding you...”
And then Yun Xiangxiang knew what he meant by ‘riding her’ after being turned on by him the whole night.
This was no different from indulging in her.
“Do you want to know where the difference is?” Song Mian whispered seductively, and his scorching breath made Yun Xiangxiang shiver.
She pushed him away, and her legs felt weak when she got down from the bed. This villain isn’t gentlemanly at all.
Song Mian saw through her, and he hugged her in his arms. “Only impotent men will be gentlemanly with their beloved woman.
The weakened Yun Xiangxiang glared at him angrily, while he kissed her lips with love, and that sapped her of the strength of beating him up. Song Mian felt like taking advantage of her again as he looked at her being so cute and soft.
But he knew that if he did that, she wouldn’t be calmed down before he promised not to touch her anymore.
He pushed down his desire and picked her up. He acted like a good servant who did whatever Yun Xiangxiang wanted to during their washing up, and only then did Yun Xiangxiang look less angry.
After they had breakfast, He Wei came over to meet up with them, and he brought the news from every place.
Yun Xiangxiang was angry with Song Mian the first thing in the morning, and he was tending to her every whim and fancy from the morning. Only now did he have time to read the news.
Just as she expected, Italy, China, and even the US headlines talked about Yun Xiangxiang. Her story overshadowed the ones about the best actress’.
The internet was in a state of disbelief over this news, and most of the replies were of shock. The numbers of those who were curious about Yun Xiangxiang soared. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect her first major news in the international arena would be this one.
“Many Italian fashion magazines and interview shows want to get you on them.” This was a rare treatment. He Wei did receive hundreds of calls yesterday.
Fortunately, he didn’t stay here, nor did Yun Xiangxiang stay in a hotel, or else they would be stuck.
He asked his non-entertainment-industry friend to give him a ride here this morning, or else he couldn’t evade the media.
“No, we’re going to the airport soon.” Yun Xiangxiang shook her head and refused.
It was an excellent opportunity to build her momentum now. Since Joseph gave her this chance, he couldn’t say anything even if Yun Xiangxiang took advantage of it, but she wouldn’t.
She didn’t want the international entertainment circle to think of her as ‘the girl who rejected Joseph’ whenever they felt Yun Xiangxiang.
Most people would be proud of this label, but she wouldn’t be. She wanted everyone to think of her as ‘a great actress’ whenever her name was mentioned.
She wanted them to think of the classic characters she had played whenever they thought of her works.
“Have you thought of this thoroughly?” He Wei asked.
Even the company knew about this, and a lot of people there were planning to ride on Yun Xiangxiang’s coattails and reap some benefits if she accepted it.
“I don’t have to think about this. I will never use this way to attract any attention.” Yun Xiangxiang had never thought of that. “Maybe this is Joseph’s second test, and I just don’t know about it.”
He might be testing her personality to see if she could stay calm when she was the darling of the media; to see if she could stay low even when the news was talking about her.
“You can go then.’ He Wei respected Yun Xiangxiang’s choice entirely.
It would take about ten hours to fly from here to New York, but there was a time difference between here and there. It would be noon when they arrived in New York so that they could have lunch.
The whole of Italy was still eagerly finding Yun Xiangxiang, and even the airport had a lot of reporters from all over the world hiding around there. They were like a net, and their prey was Yun Xiangxiang, but the girl managed to escape them.
When they were wondering where she went, Yun Xiangxiang was already in New York.
She was slightly famous in New York, and after that event at the Venice Film Festival, she couldn’t hold hands with Song Mian while they went around in New York.
She still went to Song Mian’s place to live, and it was always the bungalow where they started officially dating each other. It wasn’t as magnificent as any different villa or castle, but this place held a special meaning for Yun Xiangxiang. She was happy to live here.
“It’s a shame Little Fairy isn’t here,” she sounded down.
