A few days later, the whole city was looking forward for the new magazine edition that was expected to come out of the market.

This was thanks to the production team of Time Line magazine, for they had released a statement in their social media that the new magazine would feature the famous model Bai Yulin as the cover girl, along with a special interview.

They had also stated that a very sensational announcement was made by the famous goddess of beauty. Which all the more reason caused the public to become very curious.

So, the moment the Time Line magazine was out for sale, it was sold out immediately within the duration of 24 hours. The magazine was bought by young people from many different outlets and bookstores.

Everyone was anxious as to what the announcement would be. So they really wanted to buy it quickly. Unsurprisingly, Bai Yulin was famous and was held in high regard by younger generations, mostly females.

Immediately after the magazine was sold out, the whole city was in an uproar due to the content of Bai Yulin's interview, specifically, her last answer to the interviewier's burning question.

They expected her to give the same textbook answer like "I'm still single and ready to mingle." or "I'm focusing on my career for now bla bla bla.."

And yet-

Bai Yulin admitted to being in a relationship so suddenly?!

She even introduced her boyfriend during the interview in which she offered to take one photo with the mysterious man. This photo came out not as the cover for the magazine, but it was hidden on the center page of the magazine, its size was twice a normal page. It was made into a limited edition poster.

Out of 200 thousands copies, only 20% of the released magazines had the limited edition poster attached to them.

This poster was specifically tittled "Supermodel Bai Yulin and Young Master Ji, a Match Made in Heaven!"

The interview stated that Bai Yulin refused to give more explanations regarding how long they had been in a relationship or how they met. She simply said that they were very much serious and committed to each other.

Everyone in the city knew about Ji Haishan, even if they never saw his face before. It was because the Ji family was very influential in the business industry. It was one of the most prominent families.

And when he appeared in a magazine together with Bai Yulin, it created such a sensation among high level socialites. Even common people, who were Bai Yulin's fans, began to search for him online and found out he was actually a very expensive big shot.

There were many speculations on the internet but obviously, Ji Haishan had ordered Gao Li Bai to handle them via his PR management. As he was the CEO of a huge company, it was natural for him to control any news regarding him to circulate online.

Gao Li Bai did his job with excellence as he instructed the PR management team to release a statement that the news of their CEO's dating life was true.

"Woah.. look at this, Ji Haishan!" Bai Yulin was busy scrolling Weibo where an online debate was being held by her fans.

They were discussing the sudden dating announcement from Time Line magazine and thought that their goddess had finally found her significant other. They were praising Bai Yulin and Ji Haishan as the perfect couple who greeted the country with a storm.

People also praised how handsome Ji Haishan was. Despite Bai Yulin's ethereal beauty which was definitely out of the world, his charm also didn't fall as second against her. In fact, his handsome feature further complimented Bai Yulin.

Fans began to ship the two because in the three years of Bai Yulin's career, she was never involved in a scandal with other men. So others began to think that Bai Yulin's relationship with Ji Haishan was real and genuine. Since Bai Yulin really decided to tell the world and be serious about it.

Bai Yulin's lips curved upwards when she read through the comments. Her eyes were twinkling and she was giggling happily. Her mood was good and it kept on getting better by seconds.

Ji Haishan was working on his desk, ignoring his girlfriend who was sitting leisurely on the couch. They were currently in the study.

Bai Yulin never stopped talking about how proud she was when the news came out. It was a very low-key yet unique way of announcing a relationship. She had never heard of anyone announcing their dating life through a magazine before. Since people usually used an online platform or TV interviews to announce such delicate topics. Furthermore, it could get a direct response from the people online almost immediately.

"Ji Haishan, come and look. Why are you so uninterested in this? This is OUR news!" Bai Yulin who saw the unresponsive Ji Haishan, began to sulk.

Ji Haishan didn't even lift his head from the computer screen as he said "It's our news, alright. But I'm busy right n-"

Ring~ Ring~

His business phone rang for the seventh times since morning. Then his eyes turned narrow as he cursed lowly.

"See this? Li Bai has been calling me for confirmation whether I would like to accept an interview or not. They want to score points in seeing me and won't stop unless I crush them!" he exclaimed, frustration lacing on his facial expression. He kept on being pestered by numerous news channel and publishing companies.

Bai Yulin gave him a side glance and commented "That's because they now know who you really are; a powerful businessman, a CEO of the one and only Ji Group! They want to get a glimpse of you in real life since you're my boyfriend!"

Then she continued with puckered lips "Don't tell me you didn't expect such thing to happen after we go public? I'm a famous International model after all!"

Ji Haishan shook his head as a sigh escaped his lips. He expected it, but not to this extent. He never knew Bai Yulin was actually VERY critically acclaimed in the fashion industry. He didn't even know that she got a fandom of herself.

'I shouldn't have agreed to announce our relationship in the fashion magazine if I knew about this..'

Ji Haishan thought that Time Line was just a normal magazine. He didn't pay much attention to it when he went to the set for an interview and a photoshoot. Who would have thought that Time Line was one of the most influential magazines which showcased the latest designer fashions and styles for both local and outside.

Time Line even published their latest edition magazine in neighbouring countries. Ji Haishan bet his face might be so popular right now in another country. And he hoped his business partners from abroad wouldn't recognize him in Time Line.

'What will they think if I appear not on a business forum magazine but a fashion magazine instead??' he shuddered thinking about it. He had been careless.

Unlike a business magazine, a fashion magazine had a wide range of subscribers. And it was one way of looking through new trends in fashion and lifestyle. He was so sure that his face would be associated with a tag 'celebrity' now though he wasn't one.
