Chapter 122 – You Have Another Person’s Scent On Your Body
“There is actually nothing between us. There was nothing before, and there will be nothing in the future.”
Coincidentally, Xiang Xi was walking over at that time and heard this line from Qiu Jin. His expression instantly turned black.
Qiu Jin was completely oblivious. He just saw Jiang Ming smile and give him a little nod, “Okay, I believe you.”
Before Qiu Jin could say anything, someone suddenly bumped into him from behind. Qiu Jin lost his balance and nearly fell into Jiang Ming’s chest.
“Are you okay?” Jiang Ming reached out to steady him.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Qiu Jin quickly righted himself and smiled spologetically. “Sorry, I lost my balance just now.”

From the corner of his eye, he could see Xiang Xi walking by with an angry expression on his face.
What the heck? Did he come to pick a fight again?
While Qiu Jin was still swimming in bewilderment, a shadow fell over him. At some point, Jiang Ming had taken a step forward and was now in Qiu Jin’s personal space. Then the other man lowered his head and took a slow sniff of Qiu Jin’s nape.
Qiu Jin: “!”
Jiang Ming: “Is there some kind of scent on your body?”
Scent? Did Jiang Ming find out?
Qiu Jin stiffened involuntarily. Even his breathing became shallow. Were his pheromones leaking again?
On the inside, Qiu Jin was in shock, but he did not reveal it on his face. He just distanced himself calmly and diverted the topic away, “Jiang-laoshi you must be mistaken. It’s probably just the scent of cologne.”
“Yeah, you’re right. I must be thinking too much.” Jiang Ming laughed at himself. There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Qiu Jin pretended not to notice. He did not intend to get too involved with Jiang Ming. Just as he was fretting about finding an excuse to slip away, he saw Ji Shenxiao. The man had been surrounded by people the entire time, but now he was suddenly alone.
Qiu Jin stood up suddenly, and enthusiastically pulled Jiang Ming over.
“Over there is Ji Shenxiao, the boss of Huayi Group, the big investor of our drama, you must get to know him.”
Jiang Ming: “…”
Ji Shenxiao: “…”
The two big shots looked at each other, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Please help me out here.
Qiu Jin looked up at Ji Shenxiao. His eyebrows were slightly drawn together, and a rare pleading look appeared in his eyes.

Ji Shenxiao glanced over Qiu Jin’s face, and stood in front of him calmly.
“Mr. Jiang, we meet again.”
This meant Ji Shenxiao had decided to help him. Qiu Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the restroom he found a familiar person standing guard at the door. It looked like Xiang Xi’s manager.
Qiu Jin asked, “You’re not going in?”
The manager spoke hesitantly, “It’s a bit inconvenient [for you to go in] now…”
Qiu Jin asked, “What happened inside?”
As soon as he finished asking the question, he heard a sniffling sound from inside.
Qiu Jin: “?”
The manager looked embarrassed. “If you are not in a hurry, just wait a little longer, or go to the bathroom over there.”
Did someone bully Xiang Xi?
Qiu Jin hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left. Based on their current relationship, he was not in a position to comfort him, and Xiang Xi probably wouldn’t want Qiu Jin to see him like this. So it was better to pretend that he didn’t know about this.
When Qiu Jin returned to the main hall, Jiang Ming had disappeared, and only Ji Shenxiao was left there.
The man was dressed smartly in a neat suit and he had an outstanding temperament. Even among all the celebrities, he was a dazzling existence. Many people secretly snuck glances at him, but they did not dare to approach him because of his aura.

Qiu Jin watched this scene with enthusiasm, but in the next moment, Ji Shenxiao turned his head and caught Qiu Jin peeping. Qiu Jin immediately looked away in embarrassment.
Qiu Jin wanted to walk away, but Ji Shenxiao had already come over. The other man stopped a step away and put a hand on his shoulder.
Qiu Jin was surprised: “President Ji?”
The man’s slender and powerful palms slowly brushed against his shoulders, as if he was doing something extremely serious.
What’s going on? Qiu Jin was stuck. He didn’t know whether he should move or not move.
After a while, Ji Shenxiao withdrew his hand calmly, and said lightly, “It’s all right now.”
Qiu Jin: “?”
“There was another person’s scent on you.” Ji Shenxiao stared at his shoulders. And then he added in a rather joyful tone, “But don’t worry, it’s gone now.”
Qiu Jin: “…”
Jiang Ming stood not too far away: “…”
