The next day, Ji Haishan was getting ready fairly early to come down to the lobby. He couldn't afford to make Bai Yulin's manager angry again because the one who would later have to deal with her was him.

Bai Yulin sent him out and came down with him together. She stole a peck on his cheek before pushing his back towards the car and then waved him good luck.

Ji Haishan couldn't do anything about it since Bai Yulin was his girlfriend. She had that right to kiss him.

But why did it seem like she was the one with power in this relationship??

He sighed and got into the car. Li Rou was in the driver's seat beside him. She gave him a knowing smile and started to drive. Her mood looked good today.

Li Rou gave a side glance to 'Bai Yulin' and said in a teasing manner "So things seem to get hot between you two. Young master Ji can't even let you come down alone to the lobby?"

Ji Haishan eyed Li Rou incredulously. Only he knew why Bai Yulin was accompanying him downstairs! She didn't stop lecturing him and reminding him on how to handle the magazine interview later in the afternoon!

It hurt his ears to have to listen to her repeated words again and again. He was a smart man, he could manage a big company so a simple interview was nothing for him.

"What do you mean? Don't talk nonsense." Ji Haishan snorted.

He usually wouldn't say anything to Li Rou unless it was something important because he wanted to be careful not to appear suspicious.

Li Rou grinned with mischief dancing on her face. She then said "Why are you so shy? You've been living under the same roof with that piece of handsome meat. I bet he's more handsome than your numerous male leads in K-dramas."

Ji Haishan rolled his eyes and internally huffed a 'Duh! Of course I'm more handsome!'

"So how does living with young master Ji? Any interesting story to tell?" Li Rou was persistent since she was in a good mood today. Bai Yulin got many interesting offers these days and it was much to her delight.

Ji Haishan looked at Li Rou and decided to ask "What kind of interesting story are you talking about now?"

Li Rou laughed hearing 'Bai Yulin' as she told her matter of factly "The juicy ones, of course! How was he in bed? Was he gentle? Or.. rough?"

Ji Haishan coughed several times as something non-existent got caught in his throat. He turned his face away from Li Rou and suddenly found the window to be the most interesting thing in the world.

Then he grimaced, remembering how many times he was kissed by Bai Yulin! It was always initiated by her and not him!

'Am I slowly becoming submissive since I'm the woman in this relationship??'

Li Rou took her best friend's flustered reaction as something worth knowing about so she began probing "Tell me how's your night life with the most eligible bachelor in the city!"

"Oh! He should be so extreme if you're acting like this!" Li Rou teased as she stiffled a laughter. She felt great to see 'Bai Yulin' getting so agitated.

Ji Haishan's face was already red beyond repair when he remembered his make out sessions with Bai Yulin. He would absolutely NOT let her take him to bed! No way in hell!

That kind of thing should be done by a real man! And he was the real man! She wasn't! She was a fake who wore a man's body!

"He looks intimidating for most people, even for me. But he must act differently around his girlfriend, am I right?" Li Rou added as she stopped the car since the traffic was red. Her words caught his attention back to reality as he cleared his throat.

"Well.. yeah. He's gentle because only she is allowed to see the real him. No one will be able to take her place in his heart." Ji Haishan blurted out in a rather calm tone, as if he was stating a real, undeniable fact. It caused Li Rou to raised her eyebrow.

"Why are you saying it like it's from your point of view? You're talking about yourself." she questioned, looking at him suspiciously.

Ji Haishan groaned inwardly when he realized his mistake. He so wanted to pinch his cheek and remind himself to be extra careful next time!

"It's just reflex.. yeah, that's it." he mumbled an excuse.

Soon, they arrived at the set 30 minutes before the photoshoot started. Today's shoot would be advertised in many popular articles and magazines around the country. They also would take one short clip for TV commercial.

After greeting the director and his cameramen, Ji Haishan was ushered into a small waiting room for a retouch of his makeup. Two makeup artists who were famously known to do makeup for A-list actresses were there in front of him, waiting.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Bai. I'm Chu Lin! I've been your fan since last year during your summer runway exhibition!" one of them said with a smile.

Then another one chimed in "I'm Chu Xin, Chu Lin's younger sister! We really like the natural glow of your face during that exhibition! Your makeup looked so hot!"

Chu Lin then added with a face so excited "Can we take your autograph? Pretty please..!"

Ji Haishan stilled for a moment before he forced himself to smile. He didn't know what Bai Yulin's autograph looks like!

"Um.. sure, of course." he said slowly as he fished out his phone and texted Bai Yulin in secret.

Ji Haishan: SOS! What does your autograph look like?

Ji Haishan faced the two makeup artists again as he said "Why don't you two do your magic on my face first and then I'll give you my autograph?"

"Sounds great!" one of them exclaimed.

"Definitely! We're the best makeup artists in this industry and many A-list actresses are under our care. So you don't need to worry, Ms. Bai."

"Moreover, your face is already flawless as it is. It's not going to take so much time." Chu Lin nodded in appreciation to her younger sister's words.

The two women were so impressed with Bai Yulin's natural beauty and they had been waiting to do her makeup since forever. Even many of the celebrities didn't have such gorgeous face like Bai Yulin's.

When Ji Haishan sat down in front of the vanity table, his phone received a notification. Bai Yulin had sent him a picture. He raised his brow and opened the message quickly.

Ji Haishan could swear that he saw the most difficult, complicated and confusing autograph he had ever seen in his whole life.

'What is this?' he narrowed his eyes to take in the small love emojis circling the entire alphabets. It looked so childish but at the same time, attractive.

'What kind of autograph is this? It's so intangible??'
