I feel so wronged. I feel so wronged. John bit his fork and stared at Ling Yinglu and Ouyang Qianran who were sitting opposite him. The two completely ignored him and had been chatting ever since they met, without stopping at all. And Ling Yingluo didn't seem to have any intention of introducing himself, which made John feel very aggrieved.
Seeing that Ouyang Qianran only took a sip of the milk and put it down, Ling Yinglu pushed the glass of milk in front of Ouyang Qianran again, "Drink more milk in the morning, it's good for your health."
Ouyang Qianran glanced at the glass of milk, then glanced at Ling Yinglu who was looking at him seriously. After all, the milk was poured by him personally. Ouyang Qianran picked up the milk and drank it out of respect.
Seeing that Ouyang Qianran had finished drinking the milk, Ling Yingluo asked attentively, "What else do you want to eat?"
"No, that's enough." Looking at the remaining sandwiches and bread, Ouyang Qianran was already 80% full, which was enough. Furthermore, he felt that foreign bread was not as delicious as domestic bread.
Perhaps it was because Ling Yinglu's tone towards Ouyang Qianran was too gentle, or perhaps it was because Ling Yinglu was too patient and attentive when dealing with Ouyang Qianran, that even a rough man like John could discover the unusual relationship between the two.
After holding it in for so long, John finally couldn't help it. Seeing that Ouyang Qianran had eaten and drunk enough, he mustered up his courage and asked Ouyang Qianran directly without fear of Ling Yingyue's cold wind and cold knife, "Your name is Ran, right? Can I call you Ran?"
"Ouyang, you can call me Ouyang." To outsiders, Ouyang Qianran asked others to call him Ouyang. The name Qianran was generally only allowed to be called by his closest people.
"Oh, okay, okay, then I'll call you Ouyang. You can call me John. I'm really sorry, don't worry, I won't publish the photos I took this morning, I'll delete them." John's heart ached when he said this, but in order to please Ouyang Qianran, he had no choice but to do this, "Ouyang, since you are Ling's friend, you are my friend. I have a favor to ask of you. Can you be the cover model of our monthly magazine next month?"
Cover model? Ouyang Qianran did not answer John, but looked at Ling Yingyue, "Your friend?"
Ling Yingyue glanced at John coldly and said, "I guess so."
Being able to become Ling Yingyue's friend, it seems that John is not an ordinary person. However, Ouyang Qianran did not answer John's question immediately, but asked John, "What magazine?"
Seeing that Ouyang Qianran seemed to be willing to give in, John quickly said, "Fashion Empire, I am the editor-in-chief of Fashion Empire."
"Fashion Empire"? When hearing the name of this magazine, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but be stunned. This magazine is one of the most famous magazines in the world. People who can appear on the cover of these big magazines must at least be world-class artists, right? Why did John fall for him?
"Why me?" Ouyang Qianran asked directly.
"Ouyang, you speak great English." John first praised Ouyang Qianran, and then continued: "The theme of the next issue of our magazine is magic, so the cover character I want is someone with elf-like qualities. You are the most suitable candidate I have ever met." Ouyang Qianran's exquisiteness and his otherworldly and cold temperament are exactly what John wants.
"Oh." Ouyang Qianran responded indifferently. Although he looked calm on the surface, thoughts in his mind were running rapidly. With his current fame as a second-tier artist in China, it was impossible for him to gain popularity abroad in a short period of time. Although he appeared on the inside pages of several magazines this time, it does not mean that he will become famous abroad because those magazines are just medium-sized magazines. Moreover, he is an Oriental, so maybe those foreigners would feel a little curious when they see him at first, but they would not go out of their way to get to know him. Except for those fashion designers.
But it would be different if he could appear on the cover of Empire. Empire is released globally, and he could accumulate fame abroad in a short period of time. The meaning of appearing on the cover of Empire would be different, as the cover and the inside pages are simply not on the same level.
If it were any other artist, they would have probably rushed to thank and agree happily, but Ouyang Qianran did not. After careful consideration, he said, "Okay." His tone was flat, and there was no extra expression on his face, as if being on the cover of "Fashion Empire" magazine was a simple matter for him.
This forced John to look at Ouyang Qianran differently. If Ouyang Qianran didn't know his identity and didn't know about "Fashion Empire" just now, John could understand why he was so cold towards him. But John was a little surprised that Ouyang Qianran could still remain so calm and his tone remained unchanged after knowing about "Fashion Empire". Judging from Ouyang Qianran’s attitude, either he didn’t understand the significance of being on the cover of “Fashion Empire”, or he fully understood it but didn’t care at all.
Given the international fame of "Fashion Empire", John didn't believe that Ouyang Qianran would not know about "Fashion Empire", so the only possibility left was the second one.
No matter what, as long as Ouyang Qianran agreed, John couldn't help but be happy, "Great, Ouyang, when are you free? Let's start the cover shoot right away. It won't take up much of your time."
I didn’t expect John to be so anxious, but thinking about it, he would have to return to China in two days, so if he really wanted to shoot the cover, it would only be a matter of one or two days. "Let’s do it tomorrow morning." Ouyang Qianran decided.
"Okay, I'll go back and arrange it right away." John couldn't wait to stuff the sandwich in his hand into his mouth, chewed it in big mouthfuls, and said, "How about ten o'clock tomorrow morning?"
"Okay." Ouyang Qianran nodded.
"Okay, I'll come pick you up then." After saying that, John turned around and asked Ling Yingyue who was sitting next to Ouyang Qianran, "Ling, come with us?"
"No, I have a commercial to shoot tomorrow." Ling Yingluo refused indifferently.
"Why? Aren't you and Ouyang a couple? You should accompany Ouyang out for walks more often. Do you want to hide Ouyang? Although I can understand your approach, it is too unfair to Ouyang." John looked at Ling Yingluo with a look that said, "You are not a man if you do this."
"Couple? How did you know that?" Ouyang Qianran looked at John in surprise. How did he know the relationship between him and Ling Yingyue? Obviously, both he and Ling Yingyue's behavior were normal.
John rolled his eyes and said, "Ling and I have known each other for several years. If you were not his partner, how could he hold your hand or pour you milk personally?" Although John knew so many people with Ling Yingluo, he had never seen Ling Yingluo be so close to anyone. Usually, those artists in the entertainment industry who wanted to get close to Ling Yingluo were dealt with by Ling Yingluo. As time went by, everyone knew that Ling Yingyue seemed to have no interest in either men or women. So some people also say that Ling Yingluo is sexually apathetic.
"So, you two don't have to hide anything in front of me. I know that you actors are afraid of scandals. But, Ling, based on my understanding of you, you would not do such an irresponsible thing." In John's opinion, since this is the partner he likes, he should let the whole world know that this person is the one he likes. He wants everyone's blessing.
"Yes." Ling Yinglu looked at Ouyang Qianran, thinking about everything.
John said disapprovingly: "Ling, I think you just don't value Ouyang that much. Ouyang, how about you consider me? Although I'm not as pretty as Ling, my family conditions are also very good. Don't worry, after you become my partner, I will let everyone know about our relationship. No one can bully you."
"No, thank you." Announce the relationship? Ouyang Qianran certainly knew that if his relationship with Ling Yingluo was made public, he would immediately become a top artist. Although this is the quickest way, it is not what he wants. If he really does this, no matter what achievements he makes in the future, others will think that it is Ling Yingyue's credit, and will not think that he has achieved his position through real ability. This is not the result Ouyang Qianran wanted.
Of course, Ouyang Qianran also knew that John had no ill intentions, he was just joking.
"John..." Ling Yinglu took out a handkerchief, held Ouyang Qianran's right hand, which had just been used to eat, and carefully wiped Ouyang Qianran's slender fingers, saying, "I think the plan we talked about before needs to be considered."
"What? Consider? Haven't we already agreed on it?" John was shocked. "We're almost ready to sign the contract, why are you going back on your word? This is not like you. Ling."
"Hasn't the contract been signed yet?" Ling Yinglu looked up and gave John a cold look with a nonchalant tone.
John was stunned, knowing that what he had just said must have angered Ling Yingyue, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Ling, when did you become so stingy?"
After Ling Yinglu made sure that Ouyang Qianran's hands were clean, he said to John calmly: "You don't understand me."
John surrendered. "Okay, okay, I apologize for what I said just now. I shouldn't care about what happens between you and Ouyang. Is this what you Chinese call the 'reality of winning the championship'?" John even said something in Chinese at the end.
"Minding other people's business." Ling Yinglu corrected.
"Okay, okay, win the championship." John's pronunciation was still not standard, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He said, "Then I won't disturb your date. Ouyang, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay." Ouyang Qianran watched John leave.
"I'm not familiar with him," Ling Yingluo said after John left.
Ouyang Qianran looked at Ling Yingyue thoughtfully, "Your joke is not funny at all."
"Take you to a place," Ling Yingluo suddenly changed the subject.
"Where are we going?" Ouyang Qianran asked.
"You'll find out when you get there."
More than an hour later, Ouyang Qianran and Ling Yinglu, who had been armed, got into a car from the back of the hotel.
