Jin Ye immediately noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
His voice was gentler than usual when he asked the question.
[Rumors are circulating at school about me, saying I'm a nude model and offer special services...]
Mr. Jin, could you please communicate with our school to clarify these false rumors?
Zi Xi hesitated for a moment before typing on the tablet.
"Sure, does anyone at school usually cause you trouble?"
Jin Ye's face instantly darkened.
[...I don't know, but my classmate said he saw servants from the manor spreading rumors at school.]
"A servant? A servant from the manor?"
"Find out who went out today and where they went."
Jin Ye's eyes turned dangerous, and he immediately called the housekeeper.
The investigation results came out in less than an hour.
No servants ever left the manor.
But the security guard added a detail.
Recently, several suspicious individuals have been frequently seen in the vicinity.
Jin Ye immediately checked the surrounding surveillance footage and quickly identified a familiar figure.
Despite being dressed in men's clothing and trying to conceal his identity, he recognized him at a glance as the fake male servant who had been kicked out earlier.
"It seems breaking one leg isn't enough."
He said coldly, a chilling glint in his eyes.
Zi Xi grabbed his arm and shook her head worriedly.
"Don't worry, go and get some rest."
Jin Ye patted her hand, his tone unexpectedly gentle.
"Strengthen security around Zixi, and send lawyer's letters to anyone who spreads rumors."
"As for that woman..."
"Make sure she can never get close to Zixi again, regardless of whether she lives or dies."
After Zixi left, he turned around and gave instructions to the steward.
That evening, Jin Ye painted a special portrait of Zi Xi in his studio.
Zi Xi wore a pure white dress, held a blooming rose in her hand, and had a firm and clear gaze.
He inscribed the words "Flawless" in the lower right corner of the canvas.
After finishing, he took a photo and posted Zixi's profile picture on his social media account for the first time, with a concise and powerful caption:
"My muse, the embodiment of the light of art, all those who slander her will face the most severe punishment under the law."
This post instantly went viral in the art world, with countless people marveling at the model's beauty and charisma.
In a dark corner, Su Qingyan looked at the photo and caption posted by Jin Ye on her phone screen, then slammed her phone against the wall.
"It won't end,"
"I will never let you be so happy! Just you wait, you mute!"
She roared at the air.
Even if Su Qingyan was furious, she couldn't disturb Zi Xi and the others.
The international art world's attention has finally focused on Jin Ye.
Elliott James, the head of the world-renowned Venus Gallery, visited the estate.
After seeing Jin Ye's painting, the elderly man with silver hair remained speechless for a long time.
"Extraordinary...it's simply a masterpiece..."
"Mr. Jin, we cordially invite you to hold a solo exhibition!"
Elliott finally murmured, his fingers barely daring to touch the paintings.
Where is the solo exhibition?
Jin Ye stood in the center of the studio, casually placing one hand on Zi Xi's shoulder.
"Of course, it's the headquarters in Li City."
"Would you be willing to hold a traveling art exhibition? You can choose the venue yourself."
"The whole world should see these works!"
"Elliott said eagerly."
Jin Ye looked down at Zi Xi in his arms: "Do you want to go?"
Zi Xi opened her eyes wide in surprise, not expecting him to ask for her opinion.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.
