Chapter 23 White and tender

In three days, Su Qianqian's life changed dramatically.

Gu Chengyu did what he said. He started to refuse those messy invitations and went home on time these days.

In addition, he was feeling new and possessive about her, so he spoiled her to an excessive degree.

Her food, clothing and other necessities were all top-notch. In addition to the aunt who cleaned and cooked for her, she 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 set and continue to perform her duties as a junior assistant.

It was only on the morning of the fourth day that she ran into trouble.

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

Gu Chengyu walked in at some point.

He was dressed casually today, in a dark grey V-neck T-shirt and black casual trousers, which made his shoulders look broad and his legs look long, making him look less cold and stiff and more lazy and noble.

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

"Are you still wearing this stuff?" He said in a low, commanding voice, snatching the bottle of natural cream from her hand and throwing it into the trash can beside her.

"It's so ugly."

Su Qianqian was startled and looked at the bottle lying in the trash can, a little speechless. She whispered in defense: "But, if I don't put it on, I'll look like this, Sister Shu..."

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

He leaned over slightly, pinched her small chin with his slender fingers, and forced her to lift up her pure and charming little face.

"My woman, do I need to care about other people's faces? If you paint yourself dirty, won't that be embarrassing for me?"

His tone was domineering and matter-of-fact.

Su Qianqian's chin was pinched by him, and she looked at him with her moist almond-shaped eyes, which were full of embarrassment: "But, this look will attract attention. The entertainment industry is very sensitive about appearance. My job..."

"If you want to work, go anyway."

Gu Chengyu let go of her chin and instead gently rubbed her smooth cheek with his fingertips. The touch of her delicate skin made his brows relax a little.

His tone softened a bit: "Just go with this face. If anyone dares to say anything more, let him come to me."

He paused and continued, "Lin Shu can't do it either."

Su Qianqian looked at his arrogant look as if he was going to hold up the sky, and felt a little helpless.

But she knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only nod obediently: "...Oh."

——

The days seemed to have returned to the starting point.

Su Qianqian still appeared in Lin Shu's lounge on time, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with a pair of bulky black-framed glasses on her nose. She lowered her eyebrows and looked humble, trying hard to reduce her presence.

But that gloomy disguise is gone.

Even with the glasses covering her face, when she lowers her head slightly, her exposed jawline and neck, and her delicate and fair appearance when she occasionally raises her face, are all eye-catching.

This rustic appearance, even if she is somewhat pretty, is nothing in a film set filled with so many beauties.

But in Lin Shu's eyes, it was like a tiny thorn, which made her feel inexplicably irritated.

In just three days, a country girl from the dark soil suddenly became so fair and tender?

He hides his incompetence in front of her and pretends to be very good.

What was she planning? Wanting to enter the entertainment industry? She wouldn't let her do that.

"Su Qianqian!" Lin Shu sat in front of the large makeup mirror, looking at her flawless skin in the mirror that required careful foundation to achieve, and the fire in her heart burned even more fiercely.

Her voice was venomous, "Where's the coffee? What are you dawdling for?"

"I'm here, Sister Shu." Su Qianqian responded immediately, lowered her head and walked quickly forward, placing the coffee at just the right temperature next to her.

Lin Shu didn't get the coffee immediately. Instead, her critical eyes swept over Su Qianqian's lowered face and neck.

Under the bright lights of the lounge, her delicate and fair skin had almost no pores, which was even more glaring compared to the slightly heavy powdery look of her own makeup.

"Tsk." Lin Shu snorted softly, showing her undisguised disgust.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and your face looks clearer. What good stuff did you use? You're saving your salary, and instead of thinking about how to do your job, you're just thinking about fixing your face. As an assistant, who are you dressing up for?"

Her words were full of sarcasm and condescending contempt.

Su Qianqian lowered her head even lower, and her black-framed glasses slipped down her nose a little. She quickly pushed them up and said in a weak voice, "No, Sister Shu, I've had a better rest recently."

"Have a good rest?" Lin Shu tapped the table with her fingers painted with bright red nail polish, as if she had heard a joke.

"I think you're getting a little wild! Where's the list of sponsored jewelry I asked you to sort out this morning?"

"You've been dragging your feet until now! You've wasted the brand's time. Can you afford that?"

"Here's the list, Sister Shu." Su Qianqian quickly took out a neatly printed list from her large canvas bag and handed it over with both hands.

Lin Shu snatched it away, glanced at it briefly, and frowned even more. "What kind of layout is this? It's a mess! The brand logo doesn't even stand out! Redo it!"

"I want to see the new one before I leave work!"

As she spoke, she crumpled the list into a ball and threw it at Su Qianqian's feet.

Su Qianqian looked at the paper ball at her feet, pursed her lips, squatted down silently to pick it up, and replied softly: "...Okay Sister Shu, I'll go and change it right away."

Lin Shu looked at her submissive appearance, and her anger not only did not subside, but became even stronger.

She hated the feeling of punching cotton the most, especially when it came to this annoying fair face.

"Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?" Lin Shu scolded unhappily.

Su Qianqian lowered her head and hurried out.
