“That’s different. They are people from the same circle. Xu Zi’s parents are both teachers.” Xue Yu understood Yun Xiangxiang’s meaning.
A teacher’s family would generally pay more attention to the huge age gap. She could only reply, “I also have a ten year age gap with Ah Mian.”
“Then, could your father accept Song Mian?” Xue Yu just remembered that Yun Xiangxiang’s father was also a teacher.
She was speechless when she saw Xue Yu’s expectant gaze. She knew that Xue Yu wanted to get a little encouragement from her.
But she really couldn’t tell him that even though her father accepted Song Mian, Yun Zhibin was nitpicking at Song Mian…
“My father is more open-minded. He doesn’t object to our relationship as long as I like it.” Yun Xiangxiang could only sugarcoat the truth.
“Xu Zi said that her father is rather old-fashioned and seems to have a lot of opinions on the people in our circle.” Xue Yu showed deep concern in his eyes.
She wondered how Xue Yu’s fans would feel if they saw him like this. He was a mythical existence in their hearts, but he was just another ordinary person in reality. He was also afraid of not being able to obtain recognition from the person he wanted it from.
“Senior brother, you don’t have any scandals. Don’t start feeling guilty. The truth will come out eventually. You still have to meet her parents before you can decide if the other party is decent.” Yun Xiangxiang persuaded him.
Although Xue Yu was still a little worried deep down, he didn’t admit it. Then they reached the place that he arranged to meet with Xu Zi.
Xu Zi was a woman with long hair that fluttered in the wind. She had straight, jet black hair with delicate facial features. Her skin was very fair, and she was wearing a pair of glasses that made her seem very quiet.
“Xue Yu said that he’d bring you to meet me today. I don’t know what you like, so I made this myself. I hope you like it.” Xu Zi handed a hand-carried bag to Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang was a little embarrassed to take it, “Thank you, Sister Xu.”
Xu Zi pursed her lips and smiled. Before she could speak, Xue Yu asked, “What is this?”
“Some dim sum.” Xu Zi replied.
Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up, “I like to eat dim sum.”
Seeing that Yun Xiangxiang seemed to genuinely like it instead of deliberately saying that to comfort her, Xu Zi, who was initially nervous, had calmed down a bit, “If you like this taste, you can call me in the future. I have time on the weekends.”
“Oh my god, I have the fortune of having good food. Let’s exchange contact information now.” Yun Xiangxiang immediately exchanged contact information with Xu Zi and added her WeChat.
Two of them chatted over food. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know how to make it, but she loved to eat, so she got together with Song Mian. When Song Mian occasionally cooked, he would tell her some of the ingredients so that they could do it together.
Yun Xiangxiang had a good memory, so she shared her knowledge with Xu Zi. Xu Zi also listened very carefully, and Xue Yu was left all alone.
“I regret bringing you here,” said Xue Yu grievously.
So Xu Zi blushed, Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t be embarrassed, “Then do you want to bring Brother Wei instead?”
“Junior sister, I treat you as my sister. You are the first relative I introduced to Xu Zi!” Xue Yu emphasized.
“Senior brother, I treat you as my brother too. So I understand you…” Yun Xiangxiang put on a fake smile, “You’re afraid of Brother Wei dealing with you, so you let me help you or take the blame.”
Xue Yu was embarrassed that he was taken apart and immediately poured Yun Xiangxiang her favorite juice. “Junior sister, you have to be considerate of me, your senior brother. I am still a bachelor at this age…”
Xue Yu was a little afraid of He Wei. This kind of fear was probably from admiration and care. In fact, in his current position, he didn’t need to be handled by an agent.
What’s more? He Wei never handled him. It was just that the scene where He Wei ruthlessly let him be the one to break his relationship was still vivid. He was a little worried and didn’t want to let Xu Zi feel wronged.
Although He Wei was quite tolerant of Yun Xiangxiang, her partner was different. Song Mian could be her helping hand.
It wasn’t that Xu Zi would drag him down, but she was not helpful to his career in any way. Even though he didn’t need a helping force now, he still had psychological trauma towards He Wei.
Anyone with eyes could see that He Wei was quite fond of Yun Xiangxiang. So, Xue Yu wanted her to help him.
“When are you going to reveal it to Brother Wei?” Of course, Yun Xiangxiang wanted to help Xue Yu.
Xue Yu glanced at Xu Zi, “I have discussed it with Xu Zi. Next month is Brother Wei’s birthday…”
“You know how to pick a good time.” Yun Xiangxiang laughed, thinking that He Wei would not lose his temper on his birthday, especially since he had to maintain his demeanor to those who came up to congratulate him.
“No way, you don’t understand my pain.” Xue Yu smiled bitterly.
When Yun Xiangxiang met He Wei, he was already a top agent. Everyone in the circle knew his methods and temperament and did not dare to provoke him.
He Wei, who kept his word, would not let Yun Xiangxiang feel aggrieved.
But Xue Yu and He Wei were together when they were still at the bottom. They had suffered enough to climb to the top step by step. He Wei was just as ruthless and strict as Xue Yu as he treated himself.
Even though Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know it, she could imagine it. So she replied in a stern face, “Senior brother, let’s change the date. We should give Brother Wei a chance. He is so strict to you now because of the way you both have interacted with each other for many years.”
If he went on He Wei’s birthday, firstly, it showed that he didn’t trust He Wei; secondly, it was inevitable to feel like it was forced, and it would hurt He Wei’s feelings.
“Before his birthday, then.” Yun Xiangxiang suggested, “We are going to be filming next month. You could find some time.”
It was the first film that Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu co-starred in, and Huan Yu Century Entertainment invested heavily in it. He Wei would be inseparable from them.
She felt that the best result would be if Xue Yu confessed to He Wei before his birthday, then they could celebrate He Wei’s birthday together.
Xue Yu hesitated very much, and Xu Zi pulled the corner of his clothes, “I think Xiangxiang’s proposal is perfect.”
Since his girlfriend agreed to it as well, what could Xue Yu do? Naturally, he agreed too. The three of them chatted for a while, then Xue Yu went to the bathroom, leaving Yun XIangxiang alone with Xu Zi.
Yun Xiangxiang hesitated for a while before asking, “Sister Xu, have you prepared yourself?”
“Which aspect are you referring to?” Xu Zi asked.
“To face the public.” Yun Xiangxiang had to prepare Xu Zi, “Despite that senior brother’s age and the majority of his fans urging him to get married, it doesn’t mean that they would accept just anyone….”
Feeling that her phrasing was inappropriate, Yun Xiangxiang quickly explained, “I’m not saying that Sister Xu is not good, but in the eyes of the fans, their idols are perfect gods. They don’t understand Sister Xu at all. They might not even attempt to understand then be very critical of you.”
They might even make various personal attacks. Perhaps Xue Yu’s opponent might even have a part in it.
