Exclusive Model for the Top Painter Chapter 66

Disciplined in a Trap of His Own Devising 

---

For several nights in a row, Liang Jin was in the studio working with Ji Xiuyuan on his paintings.

From the beginning when he was naked to the wax dripping two days ago, he simply suspected that Ji Xiuyuan was completely fulfilling his own selfish desires! What body art, what treasure series of paintings, they were all his high-sounding excuses!

This thought became stronger and stronger after knowing the theme of tonight's painting.

Liang Jin looked at the props piled up all over the studio, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "Yuan Yuan, tell me honestly, are these things your newly-discovered erotic play?"

Ji Xiuyuan coaxed him, "How could that be? Xiao Jin, these are the necessary aids for painting."

"Great Artist Ji, with my limited cultural level, I really can't figure out why you would need these things for painting?"

Ji Xiuyuan explained in a serious manner, "Body art originated in Italy and France during the Renaissance, conveying the beauty of the human body itself on the one hand, and exposing the complexity of human nature in terms of goodness, evil, and love/lust on the other. With the appearance of eroticism, it presents profound connotations. In other words, it is a process and act of self-discovery and pleasure using the human body as a medium; with the aim of recognising beauty, exploring beauty and harmonising beauty."

Liang Jin was struck speechless by this rhetoric. Ji Xiuyuan has this ability, as long as he wants to, he can rationalise all of his outrageous behaviours, and you can't even refute it.

Forget it, as long as Ji Shen is happy.

Liang Jin looked on the bright side: he was usually the one taking care of him anyway, so there was no harm in letting him off the hook in this regard.

So he took the initiative to compromise: "So, tonight's theme, discipline, what am I going to do?"

Ji Xiuyuan said, "You're going to play the role of an officer who was wounded in battle, and after being captured by the enemy, was tortured and would rather die than give in. Under the discipline of the enemy agents, the body's defences are gradually broken down..."

Liang Jin changed into the uniform Ji Xiuyuan had prepared for him, a double-breasted dark coat over a white shirt. A thin and long brown belt was tied around his waist, on his feet were shiny long leather boots, and a glimpse of a black tie was exposed at his collar, giving off a cold and glamourous aura all over his body.

Ji Xiuyuan made him sit on a chair, fetched a piece of hemp rope, and tied his hands to the back of the chair: ''Xiao Jin, the officer you are playing, due to injuries sustained on the battlefield, was unable to stand on his legs, so he could only sit. Under severe torture, his eyes were destroyed by a drug. In a moment, I will blindfold your eyes."

Ji Xiuyuan undid Liang Jin's tie, covered his eyes, wrapped it around, and tied a beautiful bow at the back of his head.

Deprived of his vision and confined to the chair, Liang Jin was like a secret fruit waiting to be picked, waiting for the judgement of fate in the uncertain night.

Ji Xiuyuan picked up his chin, touching the slightly raised knot of his throat, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jin, how would you like me to discipline you? Where should I start the discipline, so that you can't help but break down?"

Liang Jin's body gently trembled with his touch, "Don't ask me such questions!"

Ji Xiuyuan leaned down and unbuckled his belt, "Then let's start from the most critical place."

Liang Jin's breathing became rapid.

Ji Xiuyuan knelt in front of him and dropped his head to kiss there.

Liang Jin exclaimed in shock, "Mhmm, Ji Shen... there's no need to go this far!"

The thought that the person buried between his legs, who was usually so god-like and unassailable, at this moment, was actually doing it for him...

Excitement and tension intertwined, and the lustful thirst grew stronger and stronger.

Between his gentle licks and kisses, he couldn't restrain himself from trembling and sinking.

———

Two weeks later, when Liang Jin went to the film set to film the promotional video, he met Yu Shan again.

But strangely, the assistant following him seemed to have changed.

Not knowing the inside story, Liang Jin casually asked, "Emperor Yu, where is Ruan Jun? Did you fire him?"

This comment somehow pissed him off, and Yu Shan's tone was like he had eaten a packet of dynamite: "Liang Jin, have you been idle lately? It's enough to care about your family, don't always think of prying into other people's gossip!"

Liang Jin's head was full of questions, "What gossip? I'm just curious, wasn't he clinging to you every day before?"

"I'm tired of it, I changed!"

"Oh."

"Aren't you curious about who I replaced him with?"

"Emperor Yu, just now you told me not to pry into your gossip."

"I've changed so many of them, this joy of mine, you'll never be able to experience it."

Liang Jin observed him carefully for a while and said seriously, "Why do I think you're not happy at all? It's clearly very unpleasant, isn't it?"

Yu Shan gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know?!"

"Where's that kid, Xie Ange? How come I didn't see him today?"

"He won't be coming back."

"Why?"

"I only toyed with him a little and his fan filter shattered. His fragile glass heart couldn't take the fallout, so he ran away."

Liang Jin wanted to rub salt in his wounds, "Honestly, there are not many people who can stand you."

"Can't you?"

"I can't, I want to punch you every day."

".... No fun." Yu Shan suddenly sighed to himself, "Every one of them is a liar, what they say about liking me, it's all a lie."

"Emperor Yu, think about it with a clear conscience. Your own words about liking someone else, have they ever been true?"

Yu Shan stared blankly ahead, froze for a while, and murmured in a low voice, "Maybe there is..."

But now, was it too late?

At night, Yu Shan was in his luxurious villa holding people left and right, drunk out of his mind.

His cell phone rang frantically. He lazily raised his eyelids, picked it up and threw it violently into the fish tank, "It's noisy."

Not a minute later, the landline in the living room rang. Yu Shan got up from the sofa and directly unplugged the phone line.

There was a knock on the door, Yu Shan looked through the security monitor, and it was his newly-appointed assistant, maybe it was a work-related matter.

He patiently opened the door and asked without any goodwill, "What's the matter? Bothering me at this late hour?"

His assistant, Xiao Zhang, was sweating profusely and said incoherently, "Mr. Yu! Take a quick look at Weibo. It's full of negative news about you, fans are emotional, all parties are tearing each other apart, and several endorsements have been dropped!"

Only then did Yu Shan instantly sober up and asked, "How did this happen? Have you found out who did it?"

Xiao Zhang said, "The company's preliminary findings indicate that it was Xie Group's side that bought the black hot searches, and the reason for this is unknown for now. The PR team is already trying to find a way to suppress it, but the other side seems to have invested a lot of money."

Xie Group, Xie Group...

Yu Shan suddenly had a flash of insight and fiercely grabbed Xiao Zhang's shoulder, "The chairman of Xie Group, isn't it Xie Yongnian?"

Xiao Zhang confirmed after inquiring, "Yes."

Yu Shan laughed softly, "Earlier, they told me that the way of heaven is good and told me to watch out for retribution, but I didn't believe them. I didn't expect that retribution would really arrive in this current life."

"Mr. Yu, what do you mean by that?"

Yu Shan held his forehead and sighed, "Xie Yongnian was blessed with a son in his old age, and the one he favours the most is Xie Ange. I caused his precious son to suffer a love injury, would he allow me to live comfortably? I was careless for a moment, ah, originally, I wouldn't have touched such a person."

"Then what now?"

"Unless there is a greater power that can suppress that side, we can only die with them."

Just as Yu Shan was at a loss, Xiao Zhang's phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.

After connecting, the person on the other side had a low voice and went straight to the point: "Put Yu Shan on the phone."

Xiao Zhang asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"General Manager of Ruan Group, Ruan Jun."

Yu Shan's hand trembled slightly when he took the phone.

The voice of the person on the other side was so familiar, yet it felt so unfamiliar.

After Ruan Jun left him, he went home and took over his father's company. His family was greatly delighted with his transformation and directly gave him the position of general manager.

Ruan Jun lived up to his expectations, taking care of the company's affairs in an orderly manner and earning a great deal of prestige in a very short period of time.

On the phone, he said to Yu Shan, "I can get Xie Yongnian to stop and help you suppress all the negative news. But I have one condition."

"Go ahead."

"I want to sleep with you."

Yu Shan was silent.

Ruan Jun continued, "During this period of time, I've actually figured it out. You were originally a heartless person, and presumptuously trying to talk about feelings with you was my mistake in the beginning. But I can never forget you. Brother Yu, it doesn't matter if you don't like me, as long as you can be by my side."

A sharp pain spread from his heart, Yu Shan gripped his cell phone, his breath trembling slightly, "Okay."

Ruan Jun paused for a moment, "Then come over now, I miss you."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, in his office, Yu Shan saw Ruan Jun again.

He looked a lot more mature, with some solemnity and calmness between his brows. Ruan Jun's appearance was a far cry from the innocent and foolish person who followed him in the past.

Ruan Jun closed his pen, stood up from the desk and walked to him.

After only a moment, he frowned, "You've been drinking again."

Yu Shan said, "Yeah, it's a long night, I can't sleep without drinking."

Ruan Jun sneered at him, "You're accompanied by a new love night after night, and you still can't sleep?"

Yu Shan's heart suddenly throbbed with pain, but on the surface, he remained as if nothing had happened, "What do you know?"

"Right, I don't understand you." Ruan Jun suddenly hugged him fiercely, "How hateful, I clearly swore that I would never see you again... Brother Yu, I miss you so much."

He raised Yu Shan's chin and kissed him fiercely.

Ruan Jun was very big. In the past, because of his love and affection, he had always deliberately suppressed it and was very gentle with him.

Now that times have changed, his movements were rough and hasty.

He pushed Yu Shan down onto the sofa in his office, peeled back his collar, and bit down hard on his neck and collarbone, "Brother Yu, from today onwards, I'm going to discipline you."

"No drinking, no coming home late, and you can't have anyone else."

"You can only have me."

"Only me."

Yu Shan lay underneath him and looked at the ceiling above his head.

His body gradually blushed scarlet, gradually drenched in lust.

His mind, however, was unusually clear, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Originally, he had a good heart, but he hurt it with his own hands.

Now, after knowing his heart, will he still believe it?

Sure enough, the way of heaven is good, and retribution is not pleasant.

For the first time in his life, Yu Shan began to reflect.

He regretted.

How should he make up for the mistakes he made?

If the prodigal son returned, would it still be worth committing true love again?
