Chapter 56 Xu Qing

Xu Qing was slightly startled, a hint of surprise and emotion flashing in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you are really good at talking."

Li Muchen continued, "I know a place that can make you even more beautiful. Why don't I take you to Chen Hong's beauty salon for beauty and maintenance."

Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and a hint of curiosity surged in her heart. "Okay, Mr. Li, I'm looking forward to it," she said with a smile.

So, Li Muchen brought Xu Qing to Chen Hong's beauty salon. The salon was luxuriously decorated and elegant. Xu Qing looked around, her heart full of anticipation.

Li Muchen found the person in charge, explained a few things, and then said to Xu Qing: "Ms. Xu Qing, the service here is very professional, you will definitely like it."

Xu Qing nodded slightly, a happy smile on her face. She began to look forward to this beauty and skincare journey, wondering what kind of surprises it would bring her.

Chen Hong stood in front of the window of her dance school office, looking at the busy scene outside, and a sense of accomplishment surged in her heart.

Her business is booming, with her yoga classes, dance school and beauty salon all running smoothly.

However, in the midst of this busyness, she also realized that she could no longer stay with Li Muchen as before.

Chen Hong frowned slightly, with a hint of guilt in her eyes. She thought of Li Muchen's gentle smile and affectionate eyes, and her heart was filled with longing.

"Honey, I have my own career now and can't be with you all the time. Will you feel lonely?" she thought to herself.

That day, Chen Hong was instructing students in practice at the dance school when she suddenly heard someone say that Li Muchen had come with a beautiful woman.

Chen Hong's heart moved slightly, and she guessed who the woman might be. She straightened her clothes, walked out of the office, and saw Li Muchen and Xu Qing.

Chen Hong's eyes fell on Xu Qing, and she had to admit that Xu Qing was indeed very beautiful.

Her eyes revealed a mature charm that was hard to resist. Chen Hong looked at Xu Qing, not with jealousy, but with a sense of relief.

She walked over to Li Muchen and said with a smile, "Dear, you're here. This must be Miss Xu Qing, I'm glad to meet you."

Li Muchen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chen Hong to be so calm. He looked at Chen Hong, his eyes full of love and gratitude. "Baby, aren't you angry?" he asked softly.

Chen Hong shook her head and said, "My dear, I have my own career now and can't always be with you. It would be great if Miss Xu Qing could be with you. As long as I can be with you a few nights every week, that's enough."

There was a gentle smile on her face and her eyes were full of understanding and tolerance.

Xu Qing looked at the deep affection between Chen Hong and Li Muchen, and felt moved.

She smiled and said, "Ms. Chen Hong, you are really very reasonable. I admire you very much."

Chen Hong gently held Xu Qing's hand and said, "Ms. Xu Qing, I hope we can become good friends. In the future, you can spend more time with Li Muchen so that he won't be so lonely."

Xu Qing nodded slightly, her eyes twinkling. "Okay, Miss Chen Hong, I will," she said.

Since Xu Qing started beauty treatments and maintenance in a beauty salon, it seems like she has opened a new door to beauty.

She comes to the beauty salon on time every day, listens carefully to the beautician's advice, and enjoys various meticulous cares.

A week passed quietly, and Xu Qing stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself carefully.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that her skin had become more delicate and smooth, emitting a soft luster like mutton-fat white jade.

She gently stroked her cheek, feeling the silky touch, her heart filled with joy. Her eyes became brighter and more energetic, as if they contained shining stars.

Her whole body glowed with an unprecedented radiance and she really began to become beautiful.

A strong feeling of gratitude welled up in Xu Qing's heart. She knew that all this was thanks to Li Muchen.

If he hadn't brought her to the beauty salon, she might never have discovered that she could be so beautiful.

She secretly decided in her heart that she wanted to be with Li Muchen.

In the evening, Xu Qing dressed up carefully, wearing an elegant long dress and long hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a fairy descending to earth.

She and Li Muchen went to have a romantic dinner together. The restaurant was softly lit and the music was melodious, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. Xu Qing looked at Li Muchen across from her, her heart filled with love.

They enjoyed the food and chatted happily, as if time had stopped at this moment.
