Who else could it be but Xue Yu!

“Nice to meet you, junior. You must accept this little gift of mine.” Xue Yu gave Yun Xiangxiang the thing that he was carrying.

“Thank you, senior.”

Yun Xiangxiang saw that it was SA’s bag. This was the number one jewelry brand in the world. It was bigger than MonRoe, which Yun Xiangxiang was about to endorse. It was the leader in jewelry.

She didn’t reject it. She just needed to pick an occasion to return this favor given by him.

Putting aside the appearance of being petty if she rejected, something like relationships could be strengthened through reciprocation.

“Have some breakfast. We’ll depart after that.” He Wei carried his breakfast.

“Oh, so an actress is a treasure, but an actor is displeasure.” Xue Yu and He Wei were plating the breakfast in the dining hall. He complained to Yun Xiangxiang, “He has never been this nice to me.”

“You can start first, senior and Brother Wei. I’ll go upstairs to change.” She was still in homewear.

He Wei nodded. Yun Xiangxiang ran upstairs. She was blisteringly fast. She didn’t apply any makeup. She only combed her hair and applied some skincare products.

Yun Xiangxiang liked the natural look no matter in this life or the previous. There were some flaws in her natural look in the previous life. She could still be extremely gorgeous even without makeup in this life. She naturally wouldn’t torture her face.

“Come and have some. The steamed rolls and fried soy sauce noodles of this shop are delicious.”

He Wei and Xue Yu were already eating when Yun Xiangxiang came down. Yun Xiangxiang felt more comfortable when she saw them made themselves comfortable. She trotted over to her seat and sat down.

She was in the same company as Xue Yu in her past life. However, they were on two different levels. Besides, their circles were different. It was impossible to even bump into each other on most days.

Every actor and actress in Huan Yu Century Entertainment looked up to Xue Yu. Everyone saw him as a legend. Even Yun Xiangxiang was the same. However, Xue Yu was kindly taking care of her now that they were sitting so close together.

He introduced the good food in Beijing along with the interesting places and stories. Yun Xiangxiang quickly became friendly with Xue Yu compared to He Wei who didn’t talk much. They finished their breakfast jovially.

He Wei, who finished his breakfast earlier, already went to wash the fruits. He cut them and placed the fruits on a crystal plate before taking it to the table.

Xue Yu helped himself to a piece of fruit with a toothpick, “Are there any houses left around here? I’ll just move here.”

“Why?” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know why Xue Yu suddenly said that.

Xue Yu’s gorgeous eyes turned to He Wei, “I have been following him for fifteen years. He has never washed any fruits for me even once, let alone send them to me already cut up!”

Yun Xiangxiang suddenly felt abashed. An expression of embarrased flattery filled her face.

Xue Yu then sized Yun Xiangxiang’s house up, “Look at this furnishing; these designs! Old Man He, you’ll lose me at this rate!”

“It doesn’t matter.” He Wei poured a glass of water for himself while giving a glass to Yun Xiangxiang. He totally ignored Xue Yu who was glaring at him.

Xue Yu clasped his chest, “You have changed, Old Man He.”

“I did not. Blame yourself for not getting reincarnated as the right gender.” He Wei looked at Xue Yu coolly.

Yun Xiangxiang did not expect He Wei who looked so domineering to be so tender and warm.

What was even more unexpected was that Xue Yu, considered to have a high IQ, high EQ, as well as great academic qualifications, was this funny. She couldn’t help but beam.

“We’ll depart once you have rested enough.” He Wei consulted Yun Xiangxiang.

“I can’t continue like this. You didn’t treat me like this before!” Xue Yu started complaining again. If it were him, there wouldn’t be any breakfast or fruits; there wouldn’t be any rest after meals!

“You are only a few months younger than me. Your junior could have been my daughter’s age if I married early. How can you compete?” He Wei asked

Xue Yu: ...

He Wei was still as sharp as ever. He remarked that Xue Yu was only younger by a few months. On top of that, he even said that Yun Xiangxiang was young enough to be his daughter. In other words, he was implying that Yun XIangxiang was also young enough to be Xue Yu’s daughter.

He instantly felt that he wasn’t quite the gentleman for being jealous at someone who was a whole generation his junior.

“Pfft.” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Let’s go, dads.” She walked forward and held one of them in each arm.

He Wei and Xue Yu: ...

Both of them were already 35. Yun Xiangxiang was only 17. An eighteen year gap was actually enough for them to be father and daughter.

Yun Xiangxiang had already noticed that He Wei’s care for her was more about responsibility. That was because she was already his actress.

They would have a bond that would last for a decade or longer at least if nothing happened. They might as well get along like family if they were going to be this close.

Trusting each other would also benefit their relationship.

She was exquisite. However, He Wei had seen a lot of beauties before. He wouldn’t have any thoughts to start anything with a minor like her. She accepted it graciously. She would just pour out her heart and it would be okay.

The only distance between the trio disappeared after the little ruckus Yun Xiangxiang caused. Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu still chatted happily on the way. He Wei was a silent man. Not to mention he was also driving the car.

They went to meet the person in charge for MonRoe China. They talked with Yun Xiangxiang for a bit. It was about the plans after this. After that, it was an elaboration about what they wanted from Yun Xiangxiang as their spokesperson.

What kind of events that Yun Xiangxiang had to cooperate with; Yun Xiangxiang wearing their jewelry in any public events from now on as mandatory, etc...

Yun Xiangxiang was crystal about this. However, MonRoe naturally had higher demands as a top luxury brand.

She signed a two year contract in the end. Since she was going to the whole of China that included Hong Kong and Taiwan, the endorsement fee was actually higher than the pay Han Jing gave her for the film.

Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but feel elated that she was one step closer to clearing her debt with He Wei. They made an appointment about the time for the shoot. MonRoe’s person in charge even gave her a whole set of jewelry when she left.

“Don’t be happy so soon.” He Wei suddenly dampened Yun Xiangxiang’s enthusiasm when she went into the car. “This is the first time they opened their spot for a spokesperson to an Asian. This precedent will attract other people. Naturally, you being the first warrants a celebration. However, you will be a joke if someone replaces you after two years.”

There was something He Wei kept silent about. Half of the reason she got this endorsement was because Huan Yu Century Entertainment promised to fully support Yun Xiangxiang. The other half was because He Wei made a friend in MonRoe’s current de facto boss when he was overseas. They believed in He Wei’s capability.

Of course, Yun Xiangxiang’s own commendable momentum played a factor in getting the endorsement for this top luxury brand.

He Wei brought Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu back to the company after settling endorsement matters.

“There is a script I want you to take a look.” He Wei said to Yun Xiangxiang before he got out of the car.

Huan Yu Century Entertainment had thirty floors. The higher the floor, the higher the status. The receptionist and welcoming staff stood upright when they saw He Wei’s car. They didn’t dare to simply look anywhere even if Xue Yu was following He Wei. It was obvious how powerful He Wei’s authority was.
