After completing her makeup and transforming into Snow White, Jian Yan asked, "Dai Dai, is this how you won over Mr. Huo?"
Smacking her lips, Xue Qiandai reminisced about her youthful days, "He was such an aloof and unromantic CEO, but he only surrendered after my 360-degree all-around attack. Your Senior Yuan, the difficulty level dropped by 100 times."
To encourage Jian Yan, he was willing to sacrifice Huo Meiren.
At that moment, Huo Yunchao, who was doing his morning exercise and walking his snow lion in the neighborhood, sneezed. "Who's talking about me? Snow Lion, it must be your mom, right?"
The snow lion ran ahead, wagging its tail and acting all lovey-dovey; even the dogs couldn't bear to look at it.
Inside the villa, Xue Qiandai held an eyeliner pencil, lifted Jian Yan's chin, and examined it carefully. "Jian, I have a bold suggestion, let's see if you can accept it."
“Go ahead.” Jian Yan always readily agreed, especially with Dai Dai, whom she trusted most.
"Generally speaking, freckle makeup is not very acceptable because some people have too many freckles. But beauty mark makeup is absolutely alluring, both charming and sexy. Just a light touch, small and delicate, can arouse a man's protective instincts."
As she spoke, Dai Dai's hand fell down, and a small black dot appeared under Jian Yan's right eye, making her look more radiant and attractive.
"Dai Dai, you're amazing! It's such a shame you're not a beauty blogger." Jian Yan praised her generously.
"Oh dear, if our Taobao shop fails, I'll switch careers and become a blogger! There are 360 professions, and every profession can produce an expert."
After finishing her makeup, Jian Yan changed into a new dress. She looked elegant and graceful in a white, puff-sleeved, ruffled dress.
"Do you have shoes with heels?" Flat shoes always feel like something's missing.
Jian Yan was embarrassed. "Dai Dai, am I not feminine enough? I only have a five-centimeter chunky heel."
You can't expect everyone to wear 10cm stilettos; beauty and comfort are sometimes contradictory. "My advice is that you can have a pair of stiletto mid-heels on hand, of course, comfort should be the top priority."
Jian Yan changed her shoes and twirled around in front of Xue Qiandai. Tsk tsk, clothes make the man, how true!
Xue Qiandai rubbed her chin, a sudden idea struck her. "Wait for me." She ran back to her room and returned two minutes later with a white silk scarf in her hand, which she carefully tied around her neck.
"Believe me, if there's even a slight breeze and your scarf flutters, you'll look like a fairy."
Jian Yan only hoped that the cool breeze today would bring her good fortune.
After packing, Jian Yan set off for Rongxiang Plaza. There was a movie at 10 o'clock, and she could have lunch right after watching it.
On weekend mornings, cinemas aren't usually that crowded; the afternoons are the peak time. But that doesn't stop some people from preferring a quieter place, or from going on dates.
Jian Yan carried her small bag and waited quietly. There were still ten minutes until ten o'clock.
Just then, a tall man walked towards them. He was dressed smartly and seemed to have good taste. Judging from Jian Yan's fashion sense, this man must be quite well-off; the Central Villa District really does have a lot of wealthy people.
"Miss, are you alone?" the man asked.
Jian Yan looked around but didn't see anyone else.
"Don't doubt me, I'm talking to you." The man had a smile on his lips, and he was quite refined.
I got hit on? This is the first time in my life I've ever been hit on!
Jian Yan smoothed her long hair behind her ear. "Sorry, I have an appointment with a friend."
The man seemed disappointed, but he didn't give up. "If you don't mind, could you leave your contact information? I live nearby, maybe we're neighbors."
"I do mind." Yuan Mu appeared beside Jian Yan, his eyes shining, his gaze intense, as if admiring a work of art. "You look beautiful today!" Then he said to the man, "He's my friend."
The man shrugged sheepishly, his tone tinged with envy, "You're really lucky."
A beautiful and elegant woman is also the best label for a man.
After everyone left, Yuan Mu turned back to Jian Yan, staring at her without saying a word, unable to get enough of her. He really hadn't noticed before how beautiful Jian Yan was. Her features were the same, but she looked so pleasing to the eye today.
"Have you seen enough?" Jian Yan asked shyly.
As if guided by some unseen force, Yuan Mu replied, "No. You look beautiful today!"
"You just complimented me." What a clever trick! This makeup truly lives up to its name. Jian Yan felt so happy she wanted to turn into a flower.
Yuan Mu was stunned. As an editor, he felt speechless for a moment. The beauty that words could not describe was like the beauty Jian Yan was in at that moment. "Repetition strengthens and highlights the key points."
Good heavens, Yuan Mu wondered if he had gone mad. What was he saying?
"The movie is about to start." Jian Yan suppressed her romantic thoughts, after all, this was the main theme of the day.
"Oh, oh, oh," Yuan Mu said, as if waking from a dream, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go redeem the tickets and buy Coke and popcorn. Do you want ice in the Coke?"
Jian Yan replied, "Room temperature." A fairy shouldn't be tempted by cold.
Soon, Yuan Mu returned carrying two cups of cola and a bucket of popcorn. He was sweating despite the short distance. Was it the heat or his excitement?
Jian Yan glanced at the time. "We should be able to enter now."
"Wait, how about we take a picture to remember this moment? I happen to have my camera with me," Yuan Mu suggested.
So thoughtful! Such beautiful makeup, it would be such a waste not to take a picture! "Senior, why did you think of bringing a camera?"
"Occupational hazard," Yuan Mu chuckled. "Who knows, life might suddenly throw a headline at you? Could you hold this for me for now?"
Jian Yan accepted a cup of cola and a bucket of popcorn, and stood in front of the promotional standee for "Lost in Thailand".
Yuan Mu placed the cola on the counter, took out his camera from his backpack, and squatted down. "One, two, three, cheese!"
A gasp rang out. Someone walked past Jian Yan and brushed against her, spilling half of her cola all over her.
Jian Yan was furious.
Looking up, she saw that the person who was rubbing against her was none other than Hua Se.
