Chapter 28: Deepening the Humiliation



Ji Yuqi booked a room at the Royal Restaurant and wanted to treat Yu Guiwan to a meal before leaving the imperial capital to show his gratitude for his hospitality over the past few days.

Yu Guiwan, who had been shooting night scenes for five consecutive days, originally had no scenes to shoot today and could have stayed at home and slept soundly, but she received a call from her agent. At eight o'clock in the morning, she could hardly open her eyes, but she got up, put on makeup, and went out to meet the director to discuss the contract for the new script.

While standing at the door changing her shoes, she let out a desperate whine: "Being an actor is such a lousy job! I haven't even gotten twenty hours of sleep this week."

Ji Yuqi's flight is booked for tomorrow at 12 noon.

There's nothing to do today.

After making a restaurant reservation in the morning, she went to the hospital to see her arm.

Yesterday at Pei's house, I was bumped by Pei Huaijin and my right arm is a little swollen again.

Fortunately, there is no big problem.

The doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs and a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing spray.

It was exactly noon when I came out of the hospital.

Ji Yuqi had a quick lunch and then went straight to the mall, wanting to buy some local specialties from the imperial capital for Li Tong and Ji Niancheng to take back.

In fact, the specialties sold in large shopping malls are too commercialized and their taste is not authentic.

To buy special products with the flavor of the imperial capital, you still have to go to some old-fashioned small workshops.

However, the locations of those old brands have always been very remote, making it inconvenient to get to them, so Ji Yuqi could only buy some in the shopping mall.

Li Tong is a typical carnivore.

If there is no meat in the meal, he will howl non-stop.

Therefore, Ji Yuqi only picked chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Ji Niancheng likes sweets, so Ji Yuqi picked out a lot of cakes and candies.

Coming out of the mall, Ji Yuqi's hands were already full of bags.

While standing at the entrance of the shopping mall waiting for a taxi, Ji Yuqi lowered her eyes and looked at the various bags in her hands. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It had been a long time since she bought so many things at one time, but she didn't feel sorry for the money.

However, she was not happy at all when using this card.

She just checked her balance at the ATM in the mall.

Very good, 70 million.

Pei Yucheng really gave her an extra zero.

No, the balance on the card still starts with 7.

She has transferred five million out.

Logically speaking, it should be only more than 60 million.

The result is still 70 million.

In other words: he had someone transfer a whole sum of 70 million to her.

Sure enough, generous!

She went back to Yu Guiwan's apartment.

I left some of the local specialties for Yu Guiwan and packed the rest into the suitcase.

When I finished, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Ji Yuqi glanced at the time, then hurriedly grabbed her bag and went out.

We arrived at the Royal Restaurant an hour later.

Ji Yuqi sent a WeChat message to Yu Guiwan: Have you finished negotiating the script contract?!

Yu Guiwan waited for a few minutes before replying: We’ll be done with the chat soon.

Ji Yuqi: Is it going well?!

Yu Guiwan: Almost right.

Ji Yuqi: Congratulations.

Yu Guiwan made a face full of laughter and then asked: Where are we having dinner tonight?!

Ji Yuqi: I'll send you the location.

Yu Guiwan: OK!!

Ji Yuqi edited the location while walking towards the elevator door.

She had been to this royal restaurant often before, so she was very familiar with the location of the private room on which floor.

After the location was sent successfully, Ji Yuqi had just put away his phone when the elevator arrived.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Ji Yuqi had already raised his leg to walk in.

However, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of someone inside.

When she saw the face of the person in the elevator, her slender eyebrows immediately frowned.

Without a second thought, she pulled her legs back.

She wanted to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by the person inside.

Before Ji Yuqi could react, he was dragged in.

The world spun around and she was pinned against the elevator wall.

My ears were filled with shrill whistles.

"Zhao Qi, what are you doing?!" Ji Yuqi glared at the man in front of him angrily.

Compared to her rage, Zhao Qi seemed much calmer.

Even his eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a faint smile.

"Ms. Ji, what a coincidence! You said we could meet each other everywhere. Are we destined to meet each other?!" Zhao Qi not only spoke frivolously, but also had a malicious look on his face.

"Who is destined to be with you?!" Ji Yuqi asked unhappily.

"Miss Ji seems to hate me."

"Don't be so insecure. Please remove the 'seem'."

“Heh~!”

Zhao Qi seemed to be in a good mood today. No matter how Ji Yuqi scolded him, he didn't look angry.

Finally, Ji Yuqi could no longer bear it: "Zhao Qi, you are sick."

She was about to scold him to death, but she wasn't angry at all.

Zhao Qi said, "Don't be so insecure. Please add 'very', 'extremely', and 'specially' automatically."

“…”Ji Yuqi.

This man must be out of his mind. When she scolded him, he actually volunteered to add adverbs to intensify the humiliation.

"What on earth do you want to do?!" Ji Yuqi struggled a bit. He still pinned her against the elevator wall.

Very powerful.

Ji Yuqi couldn't break free at all.

Zhao Qi freed one hand and pointed at the scabbed scar at the corner of his mouth: "Take a good look at your masterpiece. Because of this scar, I stayed at home for a whole week. I was only able to go out today with great difficulty."

Not only will he get moldy, he will also go crazy.

Ji Yuqi turned his face away and didn't want to look at the corner of his mouth.

However, Zhao Qi raised his hand, pinched her jaw, and forced her face to turn away.
