Ji Haishan heard a knock from outside and then the two helpers from before came back to help him with his hair. Ji Haishan sat down in front of the mirror and sighed.

He was glad that they didn't say anything about doing his makeup. He had washed his face with makeup cleanser after the morning photoshoot and now he was makeup-free.

But it was his intention of doing so. Since Bai Yulin had told him before that whenever she was invited for an interview, she didn't like to wear makeup and just appear with her natural beauty.

And now Ji Haishan was following her wish.

"You're already so pretty, Ms. Bai. I don't think applying makeup will make you more gorgeous than you are." one helper said as she did a side braid on Ji Haishan's hair.

"Thank you.." Ji Haishan smiled shyly (trying to imitate Bai Yulin).

"My pleasure, Ms. Bai." the helper also returned the smile. She was in the industry for more than 12 years but 'Bai Yulin' was very beautiful and also polite.

She liked her attitude towards her and the other helper. Mostly, famous celebrities would be acting all high and mighty towards them. Causing a ruckus and being rude just because they were popular.

"Here, your hairstyles are done." she told 'Bai Yulin' and the latter nodded.

Ji Haishan looked at his long hair which was braided at the side. It was a simple hairstyles without complicated braids. Just loose and simple yet elegant.

His hair was cascaded down on his right shoulder and Ji Haishan felt that it suited the dress though his back would be bare without his hair blocking it.

He somewhat could feel the cold breeze on his skin at the back but he told himself to stop thinking about it. He should have gotten used to such fashionable dress from the start since he was now acting as Bai Yulin.

"Let's go to the set, Ms. Bai. You're ready." Ji Haishan nodded and was escorted by the same two helpers.

Soon, people's eyes began to latch on him and his figure again but Ji Haishan just rolled his eyes internally. Feeling frustrated that they were eyeing Bai Yulin's body who was also his girlfriend!

'Get used to it, Ji Haishan.. you should get used to it..' he chanted inside his mind.

Then, he was already seated on a simple wooden stool right in front of the green screen. It was for a formal photo of his interview later.

"Ms. Bai, we're going to do a photoshoot of you as our cover girl for the fashion magazine Time Line, alright?" the assistant director's voice was heard and Ji Haishan nodded professionally.

After taking a few normal pictures of him, Ji Haishan then laid down on the floor as if it was his bed. He flipped on his stomach so that he could show his bare back to the camera. With his elbows on the floor, he propped his hands under his chin and made a pose as if he was blowing a kiss.

This pose would be used as the front page of the Time Line magazine.

The camera immediately clicked on the pictures and some helpers who were standing not far away were enchanted by 'Bai Yulin' and her professionalism.

If only they knew it was Ji Haishan, the CEO of THAT Ji Group. They would die from too much shock flooding their brains.

Time tickled by faster than one expected.

Soon, it was already half past five. The interview was so far a huge success since Ji Haishan nailed it without much difficulty. And now they were on for the last question.

The interviewier faced 'Bai Yulin' with a face that showed excitement plus a bit of mirth as she asked "Ms. Bai, last question. This is also the most interesting question that people would like to know about you. Are you on?"

"Go ahead." Ji Haishan made a gesture for the interviewier to continue. His smile was still on and powerful.

So far he was perfect. There wasn't a single question he got wrong based on what he learned from Bai Yulin last night. Bai Yulin had made sure that he remembered everything about her personal life, a bit of her vision and plans for the future. So that he could answer any questions regarding herself.

"So.. Ms. Bai. People have been wondering.. are you still single or currently in a relationship?" Ji Haishan widened his eyes at the unexpected question.

How should he answer that?

He remembered that he and Bai Yulin were given a deadline to announce to public that they were in a relationship. It was a penalty but they really were in a relationship.

'We were given seven days.. so it's not necessary for me to say anything now..'

But..

"Um, before I answer that.. may I know when will this edition get published and come out in the market?" he decided to be careful.

"Oh, this magazine will be published on the next five days." the interviewier said.

Ji Haishan nodded absentmindedly as he thought of a possibility that he should just answer truthfully or lie about it.

As he was deep into his own thoughts, the interviewer and the others standing not far from them were getting slightly impatient. They wanted to know the answer so bad because they would literally be among the first to know of such scoops.

Even though they couldn't disclose it to public, at least they weren't going to be too shocked once the magazine was out on sale.

"Should I answer it for you?" Ji Haishan suddenly heard a voice he was absolutely familiar with.

That deep and magnetic one..

His own voice!

Ji Haishan turned around and saw a man standing a few steps away from where he was sitting. That man wore a dark grey chinos and a black mandarin collar shirt. He looked suave yet elegant in his own styles.

That man was Bai Yulin!

Ji Haishan gaped at the sight he was staring at and he couldn't form a word. How come she was here??

Bai Yulin smirked seeing Ji Haishan's dazed expression. She suddenly had an urge to kiss him but she toned it down, mentally scolding herself and blaming the hormones.

She walked closer towards him who was still not reacting. Slowly, she took her steps and was already standing in front of him. She lifted her sunglasses which she wore as part of fashion.

Bai Yulin bended down a little and whispered closely to Ji Haishan "Don't tell me you're so taken aback that you don't know how to react?"

Ji Haishan was jolted out of his stupor and he stared at Bai Yulin, wide-eyed. After a moment, he seemed to understand her reason for coming.
