Chapter 520: 460 The City of Romance

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The Four Seasons Hotel, where luxury was carried through every detail.

Jiang Chen knocked on the room door.

Soon, the door opened.

"You’ve arrived just in time, I’m planning to return to the country tonight."

Jiang Chen walked into the room and saw the suitcase that was already half-packed.

After the incident at the Rome fashion show, Thomas Felton had told Pei Yunxi to take a break, so this trip to Paris was a vacation for her, and she didn’t bring her assistant.

"Return to the country? Why?"

Jiang Chen expressed surprise.

Pei Yunxi ignored the man who was pretending not to know and continued to pack.

Jiang Chen seemed to have realized something.

Indeed.

If they were to replace the female lead, indeed there was no need for her to stay.

"Just going back like this, wouldn’t all the time you spent preparing be wasted? What about all the hardships you’ve endured in Yunnan, wouldn’t they be in vain as well?"

Jiang Chen sat down on the elegant European-style chair.

Pei Yunxi calmly continued to take clothes.

"My dad always taught me a saying, that we should try our best to do what we’re supposed to and accept that things won’t always go our way."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then let out a wry smile.

He seemed to understand a little why she could come out unscathed in the entertainment industry, this big dye vat.

"Don’t be in a hurry to leave."

Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed the stunning beauty as she passed by.

Pei Yunxi stopped in her tracks and immediately snapped, "What are you doing?! Let go!"

But Jiang Chen, acting on reflex, quickly let go of his hold.

"Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose."

Pei Yunxi immediately stepped back two paces, her face alternating between red and white.

Jiang Chen was quite embarrassed.

He certainly hadn’t meant to take advantage of her; he wasn’t that despicable.

But sometimes, unintentional acts can be more terrible than intentional ones.

Pei Yunxi was even more acutely aware of this.

She knew this guy didn’t mean to, but such a reflexive action was enough to show that in this guy’s heart, he no longer "respected" her as much.

Pei Yunxi felt an abnormal surge of embarrassment.

"I need you to accompany me to meet someone."

Jiang Chen cleared his throat lightly, quickly shifting the topic sensibly.

"I’m not going!"

A flustered and exasperated Pei Yunxi rejected the proposition without a second thought.

"Just consider it a favor, it’s just a simple gesture for you."

"When we signed the contract, we agreed that I’m not obligated to accompany you to social engagements."

Pei Yunxi spoke indifferently.

"This matter is really important to me, you can name any condition."

Jiang Chen was sincerely earnest.

Pei Yunxi looked at him silently, her emotions seemingly calming down slowly.

"Are you sure you want me to set the conditions?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"As long as it’s within my ability."

"Alright then," Pei Yunxi quickly said, "I need you to promise me the unilateral right to terminate the contract."

Jiang Chen frowned.

"You want to terminate the contract?"

"It might not be right now, but you need to promise me the unilateral right to terminate."

One of the main reasons she had chosen to join CX Entertainment was due to the pressure from Shi Zhenhua.

And now that Shi Zhenhua had not yet recovered, the threat was no longer present, and with the loss of the female lead role, Pei Yunxi indeed saw no necessity to remain at CX Entertainment.

Moreover, her boss was someone who wasn’t opposed to making unwelcome advances.

Not insisting on immediate termination was already showing him face.

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed contemplation as if weighing his options.

Pei Yunxi felt that he would not agree to this condition, but to her surprise, without much contemplation, the man actually nodded.

"Okay, I agree."

Pei Yunxi found it abnormal.

Who exactly was he planning to meet to make such a significant concession?

She frowned.

"I don’t drink."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile ruefully.

"Don’t worry, you just need to accompany me, you won’t have to do anything."

Pei Yunxi still felt uneasy.

Jiang Chen wasn’t dissatisfied.

After all, living in the bizarre world of show business, being wary was only natural.

He met her gaze unflinchingly.

"We’ve known each other for so long, do you think, I would harm you?"

Although the guy wasn’t exactly a good person, he probably wasn’t bad either.

Especially when she recalled the scene at Ye Tingxuan’s villa in both Yuans, where he had knocked down that madman and, covered in blood, staggered toward her, Pei Yunxi’s anger gradually dissipated like smoke and fog.

"Write me an IOU."

She pretended to be indifferent, but little did she know how adorable she appeared at the moment.

What use would an IOU be?

Jiang Chen was taken aback, but ultimately he nodded with a smile.

"Alright."

There are several must-do things when in Paris.

Take a stroll down the Champs-Elysées.

Visit the Louvre to see the "Mona Lisa".

Enjoy a cup of coffee al fresco on the Left Bank.

Indulge in a gourmet meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

And take a photo beneath the Eiffel Tower.

The evening breeze was gentle.

Jiang Chen, fully embodying the spirit of shamelessness, dragged the nowhere-to-hide Pei Yunxi out of the hotel.

"It’s a waste to just hole up in the hotel when we’re in Paris."

"Nobody cares where you go, why do you have to drag me along?"

Pei Yunxi felt somewhat helpless.

She had never encountered a man quite like this.

Other men would be reserved and refined in her presence, unlike this guy, who was nothing but a rogue.

"It’s boring being alone."

The two of them walked along the Seine.

"Paris is the city of romance; you could easily find a partner here."

"What do you take me for, am I that casual?"

Jiang Chen spoke with conviction, then couldn’t help but add, "Do you really need to wear sunglasses at night? We’re not in our country."

"I like it, what’s it to you?"

Pei Yunxi, unaware of her own bantering tone, spoke as if in argument, but eventually took off her sunglasses anyway.

The wind blew in from over the Seine.

Lifting the ends of her hair.

That was surely the most beautiful scene in Paris tonight.

Jiang Chen watched intently, full of admiration.

Pei Yunxi’s cheeks turned slightly red, clearly noticing her companion’s unabashed gaze. She walked ahead for a bit, but seeing that he showed no sign of restraint, she could hardly stand it anymore.

"Are you crazy!"

She brusquely hung her sunglasses on that guy’s nose and then strode away quickly.

"Beautiful things are meant to be appreciated, aren’t they?"

Jiang Chen said lazily, hands in his pockets, following at a leisurely pace.

"By the banks of the Seine, Left Bank coffee in hand, I taste your beauty, the mouth that leaves a lipstick mark, the rose in the flower shop with the wrong name written on it, the confession balloon drifting to the opposite street, a smile flying in the sky..."

Jiang Chen hummed the song softly.

"You say you’re a bit hard to pursue, hoping I would take a hint and leave, the gift doesn’t need to be the most expensive, just the fallen leaves of Champs-Elysees, to create a romantic date, unafraid of messing everything up..."

His voice wasn’t quiet, drawing glances from many foreigners passing by.

Pei Yunxi, her composure completely disrupted, now couldn’t maintain her usual calm; her crystalline earlobes blushed with embarrassment.

"Can you stop singing?"

"Does it not sound good?"

"What do you think?"

"That shouldn’t be the case."

Jiang Chen, with no sense of shame, adjusted the sunglasses on his nose that actually belonged to Pei Yunxi.

"Many girls have complimented my singing. Back in the KTV, quite a few ladies have been moved to tears by my voice."

This statement.

Was not an exaggeration.

Pei Yunxi couldn’t be bothered with him.

Unwittingly, the two found themselves at the world-famous Eiffel Tower.

Jiang Chen took off the sunglasses.

"No wonder it’s hailed as the eighth wonder of the world; it’s much more magnificent than it looks in photos."

He turned his head.

"Take a picture?"

"No."

Pei Yunxi predictably declined without hesitation.

"Can you give me some face? This is my first time in Paris."

Pei Yunxi remained silent.

In moments like this, don’t bother asking the opinion of a woman.

This simple truth was something Comrade Jiang Chen finally understood; so, he approached a blond gentleman, exchanged a few words in fluent English, then handed over his own phone to him.

He ran back.

"All set."

Seeing the exquisitely Oriental and ethereally beautiful Pei Yunxi, the French gentleman immediately gave Jiang Chen a thumbs-up, evidently taking them for a couple.

Pei Yunxi, reluctantly and against her will, watched Jiang Chen approach her; with the Eiffel Tower in the background, just as the French gentleman pressed the camera button, Jiang Chen, once famed as a love-struck fool at Dongda University, gathered his courage for once and suddenly grabbed that delicate jade-like hand.

Pei Yunxi’s body became rigid; she wanted to struggle, but the grip on her hand was too strong, making it impossible to break free.

"Click."

The moment was captured.
