He lifted her skirt, revealing the pale, soft skin of her waist marred by spreading bruises from his fingers. Frowning, he asked, "Haven't you applied any medicine?"
Yun Zhi Yue lowered her head and shook it repeatedly. "It's nothing."
After watching her for a moment, Jian Qinzhi turned and left the study, only to return shortly with a bottle of medicinal wine in hand.
"Sit over there."
Yun Zhi Yue quickly protested, "No, I don't need it."
"Shall I say it again?"
She sat in the large chair, her delicate fingers gripping the armrests tightly as she kept her gaze fixed on the carpet, remaining silent.
Jian Qinzhi held the medicinal wine, and as it warmed in his palm, he began to gently massage the bruises on her waist. He intended to ignore the sensation, but seeing Yun Zhi Yue's indifferent attitude towards him ignited a flicker of irritation within him.
He deliberately increased the pressure, causing her breath to hitch, yet she refused to speak or even look at him.
"How is it? I offended you and gave you a little lesson, yet you're still holding a grudge?"
"I’m not."
"You are. You've been avoiding me these past two days because I hurt your waist. What do you have to be angry about? Shouldn't I be the one upset?"
Yun Zhi Yue frowned. "Jian Shu, you're being strange. That day I lost control of my emotions and learned my lesson. I realized that offending you was my mistake. I wanted to lessen my presence so you wouldn't see me and become even more displeased."
"When I was at Jian Family, I also avoided you; there’s no difference. What do you care?"
Jian Qinzhi's pupils constricted slightly. What did he care?
He gazed at her puzzled face, his eyes drifting from her icy gaze to her rose-colored lips.
With one hand he could easily grasp her slender waist, and as he tightened his grip unexpectedly, Yun Zhi Yue gasped.
Her lips parted slightly, revealing a hint of pink that caused Jian Qinzhi's expression to shift entirely.
Without any indication, Jian Qinzhi released her and focused on massaging the bruises on her waist. After the medicinal alcohol was absorbed, he simply said, "You can go now."
Yun Zhi Yue quickly tucked in her shirt and got up, leaving in a hurry with a smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she turned her back to Jian Qinzhi.
Although everything seemed unchanged, the burning gaze on her back spoke volumes.
Once the study was left with only Jian Qinzhi, he remained motionless and silent for a long time before breaking into a low laugh. His laughter still carried the essence of tranquility, but there was something inexplicably different about it.
For the next half month, Jian Qinzhi's life continued as usual, and Yun Zhi Yue was not in a hurry either. However, issues regarding contract violations had already begun to surface. Her manager, Yao Li, bombarded her with dozens of calls each day that she had to deal with.
During the day, she spent a long time negotiating at the company. Fortunately, her status as a top-tier celebrity still held commercial value, and most companies were willing to give her some leeway. However, she was forced to agree to many unfair terms; after all, it was her side that had made the mistake.
Especially since after her unblocking next month, she would have to lower her profile to participate in a collaboration with Lian Zong. They even hoped he would invite the big boss to stir up some buzz. They almost explicitly mentioned inviting Nie Yi; after all, during the concert, her clarification had inadvertently heightened the attention surrounding both her and Nie Yi.
Now opinions were polarized: one side criticized Nie Yi for being problematic and urged her to switch agencies, while the other side frantically sought out gossip about them.
This was her first time being a celebrity, and things were turning out quite differently from what she had anticipated. She thought that clarifying things would help reduce some of the rumors. But inviting Nie Yi? She might as well quit the industry; collaborating with him on Lian Zong seemed like an idea straight out of left field. How could she resolve this situation?
After being sent by Yao Li to Jian Family once again, it was already early morning.
