In just three days, Su Qianqian's life underwent a dramatic transformation.

Gu Chengyu kept his word and started turning down all those messy invitations, and he's been going home on time these past few days.

Coupled with his intense novelty and possessiveness towards her, he spoiled her to an excessive degree.

Her food, clothing, and daily necessities were all top-notch. In addition to the cleaning and cooking aunties, they even hired a personal assistant for her.

But Su Qianqian did not forget her mission.

After the holiday, she planned to go to Lin Shu's film set to continue fulfilling her duties as a junior assistant.

But on the morning of the fourth day, she ran into trouble.

She took out the dark-colored BB cream and was about to apply it to her face when her wrist was grabbed from behind.

Gu Chengyu walked in at some point.

He was dressed casually today, wearing a dark gray V-neck T-shirt and black casual pants, which made his shoulders look broad and his legs look long. He looked less cold and hard and more relaxed and elegant.

But at this moment, he frowned, staring at the bottle in her hand, his eyes filled with obvious displeasure.

"Still using this stuff?" His voice was deep and commanding as he snatched the bottle of BB cream from her hand and tossed it into the nearby trash can.

"It looks awful."

Su Qianqian was startled. Looking at the bottle lying in the trash can, she was speechless. She whispered in her defense, "But, if I don't apply it, looking like this, Sister Shu..."

"What do you mean, 'she'?" Gu Chengyu interrupted her, stretching out his long arm and pulling her to his side.

He leaned down slightly, his long, slender fingers pinching her delicate chin, forcing her to lift her pure and charming face.

"My woman, does she need to be at someone else's beck and call? Looking all grimy like that, isn't that embarrassing for me?"

His tone was domineering and self-righteous.

Su Qianqian's chin was being pinched by him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with difficulty as she looked at him: "But, this appearance will attract attention. The entertainment industry is quite sensitive about appearance, and my job..."

"If you want to go to work, then go ahead."

Gu Chengyu released her chin and gently rubbed her smooth cheek with his fingertips. The delicate touch of her skin eased his brows.

His tone softened a bit: "Go with this face. If anyone dares to say a word against it, tell them to come find me."

He paused, then added, "Lin Shu won't do either."

Su Qianqian felt a little helpless looking at his arrogant "I'll hold up the sky if it falls" attitude.

But she knew she couldn't go against his wishes, so she could only obediently nod: "...Oh."

——

Life seemed to have returned to square one.

Su Qianqian appeared in Lin Shu's lounge on time as usual, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with those bulky black-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, her head bowed and eyes downcast, trying her best to minimize her presence.

However, that layer of gloomy disguise is gone.

Even with glasses covering her face and her head slightly lowered, her exposed jawline, neck, and the delicate, fair complexion she occasionally revealed when she lifted her face were all captivating.
