090 was exposed after putting on makeup.

Xie Yaoyao sneezed several times in a row. She rubbed her nose and felt that something bad was about to happen.

Just as I finished thinking that, I saw Uncle Jian lead in a few people.

They were all dressed very fashionably, carrying makeup cases, and two other people were pushing oversized dresses.

Uncle Jian introduced her to the group, "This is Teacher Xie. Please make sure she looks nice."

Xie Yaoyao was full of questions. "Uncle Jian, why are you dressing me up? I don't need it."

“You need this,” Uncle Jian said, clapping his hands. “Girls, let’s get moving.”

Xie Yaoyao: "..."

Her scream sounded like a brothel madam, and several young girls surrounded Xie Yaoyao, pulling her to sit on the sofa.

Everyone pitched in to take her measurements, help her choose a dress, do her makeup, and style her hair.

Xie Yaoyao had never been served like this in her life, and she was a little stunned for a moment.

"Wait, wait a minute."

No one listened to her. The makeup artist told her to close her eyes, and she did so instinctively.

She felt something pinch her eyelashes, and then the other person gestured for her to open her eyes.

She looked at Uncle Jian and asked, "Uncle Jian, what exactly is going on?"

"Mr. Huo is attending a charity gala tonight and wants you to accompany him," Uncle Jian said succinctly.

Xie Yaoyao: "..."

Have they forgotten that she's just a tutor, and now she's not only working part-time as a chef, but also as a date?

Xie Yaoyao said seriously, "Uncle Jian, tell President Huo that this is a different price."

The girls couldn't help but laugh.

Uncle Jian smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell President Huo right away. Can you cooperate with them to get your makeup done first?"

Xie Yaoyao felt secretly delighted.

She had never attended a charity gala before, so this was a good opportunity to see what high society was like.

Uncle Jian called Huo Yanxi, and Huo Yanxi heard from Uncle Jian that Xie Yaoyao said that accompanying him to the banquet would cost extra.

He laughed in exasperation, "Why doesn't she just blind herself to money?"

During this period, she made a lot of money off him, enough to buy an apartment in Hong Kong.

However, if she is unreasonable, all his wealth will be hers, and he will hand it all over to her without her having to help him.

Uncle Jian also laughed, "Then what does Fifth Master mean?"

"Give her a million-dollar appearance fee," Huo Yanxi said, and then hung up the phone.

Although his tone was disdainful, his expression couldn't hide his doting affection.

Pei Yan could hardly bear to watch. If Xie Yaoyao weren't Chi Xiaoman, let's see how he'd handle this situation!

Uncle Jian relayed Huo Yanxi's words to Xie Yaoyao, who laughed so hard her eyes disappeared.

"President Huo is so generous, President Huo is so majestic! Please, ladies, dress me up nicely."

For the sake of 1 million, she couldn't embarrass Huo Yanxi.

The girls were amused by her. "Don't worry, Teacher Xie, we have miraculous healing skills. Even if we can't make you look like Zhao Feiyan, we'll make you as beautiful as Yang Yuhuan."

President Huo spent a lot of money to hire them to come to her home to do her makeup and styling; they can't ruin their reputation.

Xie Yaoyao doesn't usually dress up much; at most, she'll apply some lip gloss to brighten her complexion.

After she put on makeup, the makeup artist deliberately contoured her face, making her features more defined.

The sunflower-shaped false eyelashes gave her usually squinty eyes the sparkle of large, bright eyes.

Wearing a sapphire blue off-shoulder dress, Xie Yaoyao looked completely different.

The makeup artist brought over a makeup mirror. "Ms. Xie, are you satisfied with the makeup?"

Xie Yaoyao looked at herself in the makeup mirror and realized she looked completely different. From a certain angle, she actually resembled a thinner version of Chi Xiaoman by about 80 or 90 percent.

She was startled.

"This makeup is too heavy, I don't like it. How about I wipe it off and put on a lighter makeup?"

The makeup artist smiled and said, "Teacher Xie, this makeup is quite light and natural. Actually, your skin is very good. I didn't do much foundation on you. I mainly did your eyebrows, contouring, and applied false eyelashes."

"But……"

Before Xie Yaoyao could finish speaking, Huo Zidu and Xie Ziyu came downstairs. Xie Ziyu was stunned when he saw her attire.

"Wow, it's my beautiful mommy."

Huo Zidu was also stunned.

He hadn't expected Xie Yaoyao to look so beautiful and elegant after dressing up.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Modern makeup techniques are comparable to a complete makeover.

Uncle Jian glanced at his watch. "Teacher Xie, President Huo is waiting for you at the company. We can set off now."

Xie Yaoyao said with a bitter smile, "Can't I really try a lighter, more natural makeup look?"

Ideally, you shouldn't use false eyelashes or contouring; just apply some lip gloss.

The makeup artist shook her head. "Teacher Xie, you look beautiful right now. Be more confident."

"Yes, Teacher Xie, don't worry. The cosmetics we use at home are all top international brands, which guarantee the longevity of the makeup. Even if someone splashes red wine on your face, the makeup won't smudge."

Xie Yaoyao: "...That really lasted quite a while."

So if she deliberately ruined her makeup on the street... never mind, she didn't want to embarrass Huo Yanxi.

Anyway, summer vacation will be over in a few days, and she and Huo Yanxi probably won't see each other again.

Let's just consider it as leaving behind some beautiful memories for them.

Huo Yanxi was in a meeting at the company. When the meeting ended, it was already time to leave work.

He returned to his office, where Pei Yan ironed the suit he was to wear to the party. He then went to the lounge to change.

Uncle Jian called him and said that Teacher Xie was already downstairs and that he could come down now.

Huo Yanxi looked at himself in the mirror and felt inexplicably nervous. He took a deep breath and pinned a sapphire brooch to his collar.

If you look closely, the blue of the sapphire is quite similar to the color of Xie Yaoyao's sapphire dress.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he immediately spotted the black Maybach parked at the company entrance.

Uncle Jian got out of the car and opened the back door for him.

As he got closer, he saw Xie Yaoyao sitting in the back seat, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

The car dipped slightly, and Xie Yaoyao turned her head to look at Huo Yanxi. "Good evening, Mr. Huo."

Huo Yanxi's gaze moved from her waist, which was cinched by her dress, to her face.

He caught his breath.

The face in front of me was both familiar and unfamiliar. It was familiar because even though the makeup artist had contoured her face and used shadows and highlights to make her features more defined, she still had a chubby face.

The reason she seemed unfamiliar was that, after her features became more defined, she surprisingly resembled Chi Xiaoman.

Huo Yanxi's heart pounded wildly, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something, making him feel sore and choked up.

Is it her?

Has she gone back to him?

Xie Yaoyao felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and fearing that she would be exposed, she was filled with anxiety.

She gave a wry smile. "Isn't that a bit exaggerated? I don't usually wear such heavy makeup."

Actually, her makeup wasn't heavy; it was just that she wasn't used to it. She felt like her face was covered in a layer of cement, and that if she smiled, pieces of plaster would crumble off.

"No, it looks great."
