Chapter 760 Wu Ma's Meat Buns
I sat in front of the dressing table and let the makeup artist skillfully apply all kinds of unknown liquids to my face.
Seeing Xiao Shiqiu pushing the dining cart over, the makeup artist beside him gently reminded him, "Miss Xia, the two dresses you have today are both tight-fitting satin, which is very challenging for your figure."
She patted her upper abdomen with her palm. "After eating, you can see that this area is bulging. It won't look good in a dress. Celebrities don't eat much the day before they walk the red carpet."
She was right. Today's dress was tight-fitting and it really tested the figure. If there was any undulation in the abdomen, the satin with extremely high gloss would magnify that undulation.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll just have a small cup of yogurt and skip breakfast. I think looking good is more important."
Xiao Shiqiu frowned in disapproval, "I really don't understand you women, you're willing to starve for beauty.
Come, have a meat bun. This is made by Aunt Wu in the old house. It's delicious, better than the one at Mao Buwen's in T City."
As he said this, he opened the lunch box, revealing a few small buns with soup almost seeping through the dough. They looked delicious.
I swallowed, it smelled delicious. My stomach growled twice, but I still turned my face away from him with all my guts. "Don't tempt me, I won't eat it!"
My love for beauty supports me in resisting the smell of buns.
MD~How can it smell so good!
I now particularly admire those stars walking on the red carpet who starve themselves for a whole day just to look good in their dresses, and even dare only to take small sips of water. What a strong willpower they must have.
But Xiao Shiqiu simply sat next to me and started eating with big mouthfuls. I tried not to look at him, but the fragrance still wafted over to me.
Just when the makeup artist turned around to look for something in her toolbox, Xiao Shiqiu suddenly handed a bun to my mouth: "Just take a bite, okay?" His voice was low, and it sounded so tempting to me that I opened my mouth and took a bite. The soup instantly exploded on the tip of my tongue, and the rich meaty aroma made me squint my eyes with happiness.
He chuckled and asked, "Is it delicious?"
I nodded repeatedly honestly: "Delicious, so delicious!"
He was a little proud, "I told you, the buns Wu Ma makes are amazing, they use pork from the farm, so the meat filling is especially fragrant.
What you eat now will be completely digested by the time the banquet starts this afternoon. What are you afraid of? Have another one!"
As he said that, he stuffed another bun into my mouth. I refused with my mouth, but my body was honest.
When he handed me the third one, the two little guys in my heart were fighting fiercely.
One said: It’s so delicious, let’s have another one.
Another said: Okay, okay.
After eating four small buns, the makeup artist complained helplessly, "Boss Xiao, your lips need to be cleaned again."
"Oh, then take this opportunity to eat something else. Come, drink the milk."
Only after watching me finish a bottle of milk did Xiao Shiqiu slowly stretch out his thumb and rub it across my lips, "Isn't it clean now?"
I had a very happy breakfast, but I was not happy when I changed my clothes. I had to take a deep breath to fasten the hidden buttons on the side of the dress.
I gritted my teeth and poked him in the chest, "It's all your fault. It was originally a perfect match!"
"Can't you wear it? It fits you well. Here, replenish your vitamins and have a balanced breakfast." As he said that, he stuffed another strawberry into my mouth.
"Be good, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to deal with all the tricks my sister comes up with?"
Just as she finished changing, Xiao Shiru called. Her frantic voice rang through the phone: "You haven't left yet? What time is it? Guests start arriving at 3 p.m., and it's a bit windy today. The drone show team needs to re-debug it on site, so we need to prepare two hours in advance..."
Xiao Shiru spoke very quickly, and before she could finish, Xiao Shiqiu interrupted her helplessly, "Sister, why are you more nervous than me, the main person? Can you relax a little? This is not the opening ceremony of the Olympics, it's just an engagement. It doesn't matter whether the guests are satisfied or not, as long as Mengmeng is satisfied."
Xiao Shiru was so disappointed that she said, "How can you have such an attitude? You have to take it seriously! Mengmeng is shy and embarrassed to say she is not satisfied."
"Don't worry, don't worry. She is very shameless. Okay, we are going out now. We'll talk when we meet." Xiao Shiqiu hung up the phone perfunctorily.
When he turned around, he saw my angry eyes and said, "What do you mean by I'm thick-skinned? Explain to me."
The makeup artist lowered her head to organize her things, trying to hold back her laughter and pretending not to hear. Everyone else in the room looked around but not at us.
Xiao Shiqiu laughed heartily in a very good mood, "Not really, not really. I was just kidding my sister. My baby's face is so thin that it can be broken by a blow."
He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I'll do the cheeky stuff. For example, if you didn't do anything last night, you'll make up for it tonight."
There were so many people around, and he was talking about everything without any restraint. I looked around hurriedly, not knowing if anyone heard it.
Seeing that everyone was serious and busy with their own things, we seemed to be invisible, and I felt a little relieved.
But I was too early to let go. He suddenly picked me up and spun me around as I exclaimed, "Everyone, I'm very happy today. Everyone will get a big red envelope in a while."
"Okay~~Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, for getting the beautiful girl back."
"Mr. Xiao and Miss Xia are truly a match made in heaven."
The NPCs who had just pretended not to see us now acted as if they had suddenly seen us and were scrambling to say auspicious words.
Only the makeup artist was shouting anxiously, "Be careful, don't rub it on your face! Slow down! My hair is going to get messy, and my skirt is going to get wrinkled."
Xiao Shiru called again, "If you don't go out now, the petal shower will be cancelled..."
Looking at the eldest sister of the Xiao family who was more active than the two of us, I stuck out my tongue at Xiao Shiqiu with a guilty conscience and said, "Stop making trouble and leave quickly. Don't let us end up being the ones holding her back."
"It's okay, she'll get used to it." Xiao Shiqiu put his arm around my shoulders, looking spoiled and asking for a beating.
After a period of chaos, we finally got out safely.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the manor, a hundred-meter red carpet had already been laid out, and media outlets were already waiting with cameras.
Just as I was about to get off the car, Xiao Shiru came up to me. When she saw me, her eyes lit up and she said, "Oh my, you're so beautiful. You look like a porcelain doll."
She looked me up and down with satisfaction, and suddenly her eyes stopped at my slightly protruding belly. She asked in some doubt: "Have I gained weight or..."
Xiao Shiqiu stood in front of me calmly and said, "Mengmeng really likes the meat buns made by Wu Ma."
My face turned red. What's the difference between this and saying I'm greedy?
