To Ji Haishan, his pleasure was when one ate his cooking. He liked seeing other's happy faces when they ate his food. His creation was for their happiness.

But for Bai Yulin, her creation wasn't food. It was herself. She showed herself on the screen, on the lenses. She gave her attention solely on the sound of the camera shuttles.

For her, when someone was happy seeing her presenting herself, then that was also her happiness. She loved when others smiled while looking at her in different attires, different styles.

That was her passion.

They both had different things they wanted to do but only one thing was the same. For both of them, their creations came directly from the heart.

Ji Haishan had never thought of acknowledging other careers as important or necessary. But now he surely needed to appraise things at a different angle.

He realized that from this one endorsement, he could see another type of creation other than food. He was impressed just by looking at his own shoot. He didn't know he could make that kind of expression and this kind of expression.

Everything was caught on camera in a very detailed precision.

He just followed the director's idea and judgement yet it came out very well.

"You were very good, Ms. Bai. Just as we expected." the director praised.

"Yes. You're very photogenic and it was easy to take your shots." the assistant director chimed in with a laugh.

"Thank you.." Ji Haishan was feeling rather good because he was praised for his hard work.

This was his first time doing such things that was so foreign to him so he wasn't feeling very confident. Yet, he received compliment and he was proud.

Li Rou approached him and Ji Haishan cleared his throat, waiting for any comments from her.

"I know you can do it, Yulin." Li Rou bear-hugged Ji Haishan and he was surprised. He stood still like a rock until Li Rou let go of him.

"What's wrong?" Li Rou asked, noticing that 'Bai Yulin' was suspiciously silent.

"Ah, no- nothing." Ji Haishan faked a grin.

Li Rou nodded in relief and then said "Oh yeah, I and the assistant director have something to discuss so can you wait for a while?"

"Yes, of course." Ji Haishan nodded. He also needed to change back.

Then, they parted ways. Ji Haishan walked back to the changing room and closed the door. He took out the high heels and tossed them away.

If there was one thing Ji Haishan learned from Bai Yulin in their free time, then it was how to wear heels.

Ji Haishan took a long time trying to familiarize himself with the stupid heels but he was able to master it after just a week. So, he was good. He just couldn't wear ones that were above 3 inches. His ankle would break, otherwise.

After he was almost done changing, Ji Haishan heard a knock on the door. He guessed it must be Li Rou so he went and opened the door. But it was a man instead.

"Hey, Ms. Bai. Fancy meeting you here."

Ji Haishan instantly narrowed his eyes and asked "What are you doing here, Mr. Wang?"

Hughes Wang invited himself in the room and then closed the door behind him. Ji Haishan saw how he clicked on the lock and he pursed his lips. Alarm bell was ringing inside his head in an instant.

"What are you doing, Mr. Wang?" Ji Haishan's voice was hard but still calm.

"Oh no.. don't be so tense. I'm a friend of the director's niece so I came here to say hello." Hughes Wang replied with a playful smile. One that made people feel sick to their stomach.

"I didn't expect that I'd see you here too. So.. it's like fate." he added as he approached 'Bai Yulin' like a predator.

"It's called coincidence. Not your f*cking fate." Ji Haishan cursed as he took a few steps back.

Hughes Wang chuckled darkly as his eyes turned dangerous. He asked in between his laughter "Feisty, aren't you?"

Ji Haishan didn't know why it suddenly got to this point but he wasn't going to accept it. He was a man for goodness sake!

He couldn't stand to be harassed like this!

Feeling like he needed to do something, Ji Haishan eyed the high heels that he had tossed around. He immediately ran to where they were but Hughes Wang was faster!

The man caught Ji Haishan's wrist and swung him back to meet his sturdy chest. Ji Haishan squirmed under the contact, feeling like he would puke a bucket of sewage water from their close proximity.

"You bastard!" he shouted.

Hughes Wang laughed and secured Ji Haishan's other wrist so that he wouldn't move. Ji Haishan was caught in surprise when he was later tossed on the nearby couch.

"?!" he groaned when he fell, seeing that his wrists were already marked red.

Ji Haishan's pride took another heavy fall when he was pressed down by Hughes Wang. In just a matter of seconds, their bodies were in contact with each other, the only thing separating them was their clothes.

"Wha- let me go! Bastard!! Damn you!!" Ji Haishan didn't get why he was so weak.

Why was woman so weak??

In terms of size and physical ability, Ji Haishan didn't have the advantage at all. He was just a powerless woman.

Hughes Wang didn't prefer for 'Bai Yulin' to be so loud so he pushed his hand against her lips, sealing her own voice. Then he laughed again.

Hughes Wang was so happy and he looked as if he wasn't afraid to do anything to 'Bai Yulin', who was supposed to be the girlfriend of one of the most powerful men in the city.

Logically, if it was Ji Haishan, then Bai Yulin shouldn't be touched no matter what. No one could take what was his because he was a very strict and unforgiving person. Everyone knew this.

But Hughes Wang was unafraid.

It was weird..

As if something.. had happened to 'Ji Haishan'.

"That's correct, my dear." Hughes Wang saw the look of enlightenment in the eyes of 'Bai Yulin' so he nodded in acknowledgement.

He then added with a smirk "Your boyfriend's uncle is with him right now. I bet they're trying to settle some scores."

Ji Haishan's expression turned to that of shock and worry. Hughes Wang knitted his eyebrows and asked "Why are you worrying about him? You should take a look at yourself."

Then Hughes Wang licked his bottom lip and he smiled sinisterly. He tightly wrapped 'Bai Yulin' within his arms and the woman underneath him squirmed harder. Yet, there was nothing she could do against him.

Ji Haishan's face was that of horror as if he could do nothing but wait for his doom.
