Chapter 284 - Amazing Boyfriend (1/2)

As they chatted, Yun Xiangxiang found out that Qi Jun would stay here for a few days, as he had business to do. But he would leave as soon as he was done with it.

Qi Jun didn’t go into the details about his business. Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t ask either.

As dusk descended upon the city, it was showered in golden light. Every street, every building lit up, turning the city into a star upon the earth. Watching this unfurl as they enjoyed the sea breeze while they were on the yacht was pure bliss. Qi Jun hired a great chef to make the girls some famous dishes, which included foie gras and snails.

It was a bit over nine when they returned to the hotel. Song Meng still wanted to play, but she knew Yun Xiangxiang needed the rest for the work ahead.

“Did you girls have fun?” Song Mian asked.

“We did. Thank you so much.” Yun Xiangxiang knew Song Mian arranged this. Qi Jun wasn’t someone meticulous.

Song Mian even did this under the condition of not exposing her to the media. She wouldn’t be photographed, and the paparazzi wouldn’t have anything bad to write about her.

“Making sure my girlfriend is happy is my responsibility,” Song Mian smiled. “You shouldn’t go out tomorrow. Rest up for your work. I’ll ask Jun to take you to see someone.”

“Who is it?” Yun Xiangxiang was curious about everything Song Mian did for her.

“It’s an old man. You’ll know when you see him tomorrow,” Song Mian kept it a secret. “It’s getting late. You better go to sleep.”

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t ask anything more about the surprise Song Mian had in mind. “You too. Sleep tight. Good night.”

The best thing about coming to Paris was that it had no time difference to where Song Mian was.

Whenever she thought about how she and Song Mian went to sleep at the same time, Yun Xiangxiang slept better.

He Wei needed to go a different way the next day. He asked the girls about their plans for the day.

Yun Xiangxiang told him she would be going out with someone Song Mian arranged for her. Not long after He Wei left, Qi Jun arrived to take them to visit a French gentleman. The old gentleman lived in a lovely house. Every corner of it was full of artistic soul.

They saw a lot of paintings the moment they stepped into the house. They were imaginative and impactful paintings.

“This is Mr. Ebner.” Qi Jun introduced the house’s owner to Yun Xiangxiang. “He is a celebrated painter.”

Yun Xiangxiang did learn about painting before. She dabbled in traditional Chinese painting and sketching. She was no expert. It was just another skill of hers.

She didn’t know anyone in the field of art. But since even Qi Jun lauded Ebner’s skill, the gentleman must be one of a kind.

Yun Xiangxiang politely introduced herself and her friends to Mr. Ebner.

“You look prettier than in the photos,” Ebner praised Yun Xiangxiang.

“Photos?” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled.

“You don’t know yet?” Ebner was surprised.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at Qi Jun in confusion. His only reply was a cryptic smile.

“Please come with me,” Ebner invited Yun Xiangxiang to his studio. It took up two hundred square meters of room. Behind the studio was the exhibition hall.

Everything in the exhibition hall was Ebner’s masterpieces. The girls might not understand the nuances of oil painting, but it didn’t stop them from admiring the works.

Ebner finally led Yun Xiangxiang to a covered painting standing in front of a wall. “You can uncover it.”

Yun Xiangxiang could guess what was under the cloth, but when she uncovered it, she was still stunned.

The painting was thirty centimeters tall, fifty centimeters wide. The person in the painting was her, and yet it wasn’t her.
