Ji Yan’s eyes suddenly became complicated. Was he protecting her? She bit her lip and endured the pain on her back. Although his movements were soft, her body was still trembling in pain.
He glanced at her little head, smeared it, and threw the ointment away.
She moved her body, but she couldn’t get up. Originally, he pressed her back tightly and stroked her smooth back with one hand.
Over the past year, the scars on her back had faded a little, but she could still make out the traces of her past injury. All of a sudden, Shang Jinshen’s heart ached for her. These wounds were more or less caused by him, but he didn’t see her resentment.
There were many marks on Shang Jinshen’s thin lips as he kissed her gently. Ji Yan tensed up and gritted her teeth. “Shang Jinshen, what, what are you doing?”
The man chuckled behind her back and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Ji Yan was silent for a while and said softly, “It hurts.” After saying that, she disdained herself. Why was she so pretentious now?
Because of her pained words, Shang Jinshen’s gaze deepened a little. His actions became gentler and gentler, causing her to panic.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
“Shen, the commercial advertisement is about to start. Why don’t you come and have a look?” As soon as the phone was connected, she heard Maggie’s sweet smile. Her tone was still as intimate as before, as if the previous refusal of Shang Jinshen had not happened.
Ji Yan didn’t understand why Shang Jinshen picked up the phone in front of her without hesitation. She was quiet. Shang Jinshen looked down at her and said, “The director and public relations will all be there. If you have any questions, you can negotiate with them.”
On the other side, Maggie curled her lips in dissatisfaction. “You can only be valued if you come here in person. Didn’t you say that you want to help me develop on the Xingtu Road?”
As long as Shang Jinshen came to the scene in person and the reporters announced it, her status would naturally rise. However, Shang Jinshen had no intention of coming at all, so she couldn’t help but call him.
“Does Shang Jinshen like me so much that he’s willing to meddle in the entertainment industry?” Ji Yan’s lips curled into a smile. She had forgotten who had told her that Shang Jinshen was the kind of person who hated the mess in the entertainment industry the most.
“Well, focus on shooting. This is the image of a Ji Gui family. Go and do this role well,” he said lightly. He was not sure whether he would agree or not.
Maggie snorted and said proudly, “Of course, you know how many fans I have. I’m sure they can provide a lot of money to the Ji Gui bank.”
Shang Jinshen hung up the phone without saying anything. Although there was an old friendship between them, it was related to the Ji Gui family after all. Therefore, before Maggie made an advertisement, he had naturally investigated her thoroughly.
As a little star who had just made her debut for a few years, Maggie did have the ability to have such a large fan group. However, Maggie’s fans were all young people, and most of them were young boys. However, such a fan group was not what the Ji Gui group needed.
Yes, Shang Jinshen agreed to let Maggie be the spokesperson for the Ji Gui company, but he would not only make this preparation.
“Shall we take you to have a look?” It seemed that he had not taken her out for a long time. Shang Jinshen lowered his head and looked at her. His sudden words shocked Ji Yan a lot.
Why did he take her to see his lover? Wasn’t she sad enough?
She muttered a few words and did not look at him. She pursed her lips and said, “I’m not going.”
He raised his eyebrows and moved closer to her. He said seductively, “I thought you liked that star, Lin Zhiyi. Don’t you really want to go and have a look?”
“Lin Zhiyi?” She opened her eyes wide and looked up at him. “Did he get this name from my diary again? I only wrote the name of Lin Zhiyi, a star in the diary.”
Lin Zhirong was a big star. She had been acting for decades and could be said to be a real movie queen. However, in recent years, this big star could be a director, so although it was rare to see her acting on the screen, there were a lot of works directed by her.
After becoming a director, Lin Zhi was also an outstanding person. Ji Yan didn’t say how much she liked her, but she admired a woman who could live so well.
Most importantly, her mother liked her. When she was a child, her mother liked to watch her act.
Thinking of her mother, Ji Yan suddenly asked with a hint of gentleness, “Is Lin Zhirong also on the scene?”
“She’s the director,” said Shang Jinshen. As a famous director of a famous actor, the Ji Gui company had invited a big shot like Lin Zhiyi to be a spokesperson for an advertisement agency. It could be said that they had spent a lot of money.
Ji Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, “Then I’ll go with you.”
Shang Jinshen smiled deeply and let go of his restrictions on her. He walked out of the room and gave Ji Yan some time to tidy up and take care of herself.
Ji Yan glanced at Shang Jinshen’s back. She felt that there was something wrong with him since he had protected her yesterday.
But she couldn’t tell what was wrong. Forget it. Anyway, Shang Jinshen was an elusive person. She didn’t want to guess what he was thinking.
When Ji Yan came out, Shang Jinshen was already waiting outside. Lan Si opened the door for Ji Yan, and she sat in the car.
Soon, they arrived at the site of the commercial company’s commercial advertisement because many people knew that the latest spokesperson of the Ji Gui company was the star Maggie, so many of her fans came to the scene to support her. They wanted to take a photo and sign it.
Of course, because there were too many people, the road was blocked. Lan Si called the security guards to clean up the road, but looking at so many dark heads, Ji Yan felt that she would not be able to get in for a while.
As expected, Lan Si asked, “Young master, do you want to protect you and Mrs. Shang through the special passage?” However, the special passage couldn’t drive, so they could only walk over.
Shang Jin frowned deeply and pulled Ji Yan out of the car without hesitation. He took her hand and led her to the special passage.
Ji Yan’s eyes fell on the hands of the two people who were holding hands. She really hoped that she could keep holding hands with him like this.
The set was in a mess. When Shang Jinshen walked in, he asked with a cold face, “What’s going on?”
Lan Si went over and asked seriously, then came back and said, “Miss Maggie had a little conflict with Director Lin.”
Ji Yan looked at Shang Jinshen and saw him expressionlessly pulling her to the direction of the director’s shed.
Before he walked in, he heard Maggie shouting, “It will hurt me if I wear it like this in such a big sun. Director, can’t you change the time to take this shot?”
Because of what she said, Director Lin Zhiyi’s face was very ugly, and she dropped the advertisement word.
As a big-hand star director, she naturally had a bad temper. She directly scolded Maggie, “The camera of the sun is for showing enthusiasm, health, and vitality. Why are you so arrogant?”
Maggie had been acting abroad for a long time, but she had never been bullied like this. As soon as she returned to China, she didn’t know how to restrain herself, and she even provoked Director Lin Zhi.
In Lin Zhi’s eyes, she came here to show respect to her old friend. In her eyes, Maggie was just a little star, so she was not afraid of offending Maggie at all.
