Ji Chi had worked so hard to become a national idol. If a ban was issued against him, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?
No, absolutely not.
"Mr. Gu, it's your sister who is pestering Ji Chi. He just debuted and is definitely focusing on his career. I think you shouldn't be so arbitrary and easily destroy someone's future."
Gu Haonan looked at Ah Cai, his deep eyes narrowing slightly. "Are you also a fan of Ji Chi, Miss Ah Cai?"
Ah Cai bit her lip. "I suppose so. We are both from Gangcheng. I've seen that it hasn't been easy for him to get to where he is. I hope Mr. Gu can be lenient and not ban him!"
Ah Cai rarely pleaded for anyone in front of Gu Haonan, so he naturally wanted to do her a favor. "Alright, I won't ban him. I'll go talk to Siyu again."
The next day.
Gu Haonan drove over to pick up Ah Cai and take her to the company.
Gu Haonan's company was huge. He had all the artists line up so Ah Cai could check their pulses one by one.
Although Ah Cai was young, her medical skills were excellent. With her sweet and pretty appearance and the bright smile always on her face, it was easy for her to win people's favor.
Ji Chi and several members of his boy band stood at the very back.
"The doctor giving us our physical checkups is the one President Gu served food to at the last celebration banquet, right?"
"Yeah, President Gu even brought her to the company. Are they going to make an official announcement?"
"Doesn't President Gu have a fiancée? A wealthy young lady of equal social status. I think that little girl looks quite plain, smiling at everyone she meets. She doesn't seem like a well-bred socialite who hides her teeth when she smiles."
Ji Chi didn't want to hear his teammates gossiping about Ah Cai. He frowned. "Are you done? She's just here to give us a checkup. How did she get dragged into being President Gu's fiancée?"
In the nine-member group, although Ji Chi was neither the center nor the captain, he was the most popular in the group and had the best singing and dancing skills.
Because of this, Cheng Ran, the center and captain, really disliked him.
During every group activity, he would instigate the teammates to cold-shoulder and alienate Ji Chi.
"Ji Chi, we're just gossiping, what does it have to do with you? Don't think that just because the boss's sister is chasing you recently, you can really become the ideal son-in-law. We all know what happened in your family, so you'd better keep your head down!"
Ji Chi's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly into fists, his knuckles cracking.
Their group was contracted to be together for two years, after which they would all go their separate ways.
If it were Ji Chi's past personality, he would have definitely beaten Cheng Ran to a pulp.
But now, he could only endure it.
As noon approached, Ji Chi was the only one left to be examined.
Ji Chi walked up to Ah Cai. Seeing her pretty and bright smiling face, his gloomy and irritable mood improved significantly.
"Tsk, missed me, so you ran over here to give every artist a physical checkup?"
For some reason, every time he saw her, he wanted to tease her.
He really liked seeing her look embarrassed, annoyed, and flushed red.
Ah Cai ignored Ji Chi. When she was working, she didn't want to talk about personal matters.
She focused on checking his pulse and prescribed some medicine to treat his insomnia.
After finishing her work, she looked at his handsome and wild face. "Are you free at noon?"
The corners of Ji Chi's lips couldn't help but curl up. His smile was both cheeky and flirtatious. "Why, want to go on a date with me?"
Ah Cai kicked him under the table. "Can you be more serious?"
Ji Chi raised his eyebrows. "Weren't you the one asking me out?"
"I have something to give you."
"Alright, let's meet on the top floor of the company at noon."
After eating, Ah Cai went to the top floor.
Ji Chi arrived early. He stood in front of the railing, smoking.
Ah Cai rarely saw him smoke. Pale blue smoke curled upwards, and his silhouette was hidden in the smoke, making him look somewhat lonely and desolate.
He had become a super idol now, but she could tell that he wasn't truly happy or joyful.
Ah Cai walked over and snatched the cigarette from his fingertips. "Smoke less, it's bad for your health."
Ah Cai stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.
Ji Chi put his hands in his pockets, looking at Ah Cai with a half-smile. "In what capacity are you telling me not to smoke?"
"As a doctor."
Ji Chi took out one hand and ruffled Ah Cai's hair. "Tell me what it is, I have to go to a shoot later."
Ah Cai took out the love letter from her pocket.
Seeing her take out a pink envelope, a smile rippled in Ji Chi's peach blossom eyes. "Ni Cai, are you a country bumpkin? What era is this, and you're still writing love letters?"
His mouth spoke of disdain, but his actions were very honest.
He directly snatched the envelope from her hand.
Before Ah Cai had time to say anything, he opened the envelope.
Reading the first paragraph, Ji Chi got goosebumps all over his body. "Damn, aren't you cheesy?"
Despite saying that, an unconcealable smile appeared on his handsome face.
Ah Cai couldn't really say anything, so she just quietly waited for him to finish reading the whole letter.
Ji Chi read every word and every sentence very seriously.
While acting disgusted, he was also reluctant for it to end.
Until two minutes later, when he saw the signature at the end.
It wasn't Ni Cai, but Sheng Xia.
Ji Chi's fingers holding the love letter suddenly tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged out one by one.
At that moment, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, and a trace of indescribable emotion surged into his heart like a turbulent tide.
He threw the love letter on the ground, grabbed Ah Cai's wrist, and forcefully swung her against the railing.
The bones in Ah Cai's back hit the railing. The intense pain instantly gripped her nerves, causing a hot mist to well up in her eyes.
Her almond eyes were already watery, and covered with a layer of mist, they carried a bit of fragility and tenderness, making one feel even more pity for her.
But Ah Cai had been used to being strong since she was a child. Even though it hurt a lot, she forcibly held her tears back.
Ji Chi looked at her aggrieved appearance, having suffered a huge injustice but refusing to easily shed tears. His brows furrowed, and his eyelids twitched wildly.
The towering anger rising in his chest was like being doused with a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing.
Ji Chi pointed at the love letter on the ground, trying his best to restrain his inner anger. "Ni Cai, what do you take me, Ji Chi, for?"
Delivering a love letter for another woman, how could she even think of doing that!
Looking at the fierce Ji Chi, Ah Cai's brows furrowed so tightly they almost tied into a knot. "Why are you so angry? Sheng Xia is my good friend. She likes you and entrusted me to deliver a love letter to you. I couldn't refuse."
Ji Chi clenched his back teeth. "So, you're pushing me to another woman?"
Ah Cai blinked. "What do you mean I'm pushing you to another woman? Aren't you single right now? You don't belong to anyone, so anyone has the right to pursue you."
Ji Chi looked at her ignorant and innocent appearance, almost crushing his back teeth from gritting them so hard.
He reached out and poked her forehead hard. "You're so stupid. I must be out of my damn mind."
To actually be interested in a little idiot!
