Chapter 21 A Masterful Cunning
As she spoke, Yu Li had already picked up her makeup palette and was itching to try it on Qi Chenyan's face.
Qi Chenyan rarely wears makeup; even at the most prestigious press conferences, he appears completely without makeup.
But faced with his young wife's restless advances, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"You're free to improvise."
This means Yu Li is allowed to do whatever she wants with her makeup.
Yu Li thought her cheap husband was really nice to talk to.
So where did the rumor circulating online that he is the most hardcore diplomat in history, and that he wouldn't even blink if a gun were put to his head if he didn't want to?
He's clearly very easy to talk to and very understanding!
Because applying makeup requires getting very close, and this close contact allows one to deeply immerse oneself in the man's deep, dark eyes, as vast as the Milky Way.
He stared at her intently for so long that Yu Li felt a dizzy sensation, like seasickness.
But it wasn't real dizziness; it was more like being sucked into a whirlpool.
Once you lose control of yourself, you will be doomed.
Yu Li straightened up again.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Li adjusted her breathing and cursed herself for being so spineless; it wasn't like she hadn't seen handsome men before.
Indeed, I've never seen such a handsome, young, and accomplished man.
But now that he's her husband, how can she still be so infatuated with the face she shares a bed with?
No wonder people online say that Qi Chenyan is a Gu King who appears only once in a thousand years. His destructive power is so strong that most people's hearts can't withstand it!
"It's okay, just close your eyes, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do my makeup."
Qi Chenyan didn't ask any more questions and closed his eyes as instructed.
After he closed his eyes, Yu Li discovered another key point.
Qi Chenyan's eyelashes are so long, and she's certain they're not artificial extensions, but completely natural ones.
It's long and straight, like a fan, so long that you're afraid it might make someone catch a cold.
Those eyelashes are so long, it's something to be envied!
Thinking about how Yu Li sometimes has to wear false eyelashes when she does her makeup, I feel so envious.
Qi Chenyan has high brow bones and smooth facial contours, making him a perfect golden ratio.
Simply put, it's the kind of plastic surgery model that's prominently displayed in Xiao Han's beauty salon.
No wonder he captivated women; God didn't just favor him, but bestowed all the good things in the world upon him alone.
But now this perfect man is the father of the baby in her belly. In a way, she is the most powerful and most favored person in the world.
Yu Li successfully convinced herself and clapped her hands in satisfaction.
"Alright, look, haven't I reached a new level of handsomeness again?"
Little did anyone know that in the time it took to put on makeup, Yu Li's mind was already racing with wild ideas, enough to fill a novel.
Qi Chenyan opened his eyes. His makeup was very thin, mainly just a little touch-up, with a touch of red added to his thin lips.
But it's not the bright red that girls apply with makeup; it's a light red that's closer to normal skin tone, which does look more aggressively beautiful.
"That's really impressive."
Yu Li exclaimed, "Oh dear! If you keep praising me, I'll get carried away!"
Qi Chenyan chuckled, "It's not a compliment, it's just the truth."
Their eyes met, and something seemed to flow between them. Yu Li inexplicably felt a little hot.
Could it be that the air conditioning isn't on and the air isn't circulating?
Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside.
"Yu Li, is Director Qi ready? The studio is ready."
Suddenly snapping back to her senses, Yu Li hurriedly tidied up the makeup tray.
"There are also audience members in the studio, not many, only fifty people, all of whom have been selected. My main goal is to have live interaction during the interviews to increase the program's sense of realism."
On the way, Yu Li gave a brief introduction to the studio.
Qi Chenyan didn't care about the number of people, after all, stage fright was something that simply didn't exist for him.
There are no audience members in the studio yet. Yu Li is mainly showing Qi Chenyan around the environment and going through the general procedures.
As the time approached, the audience began to enter, and the recording officially began.
"I'm going to the restroom. We'll start recording in ten minutes."
Yu Li gave a brief instruction to the staff. She originally wanted to tell Qi Chenyan, but a staff member happened to be rehearsing the script with her.
Thinking she'd be back in two or three minutes anyway, Yu Li went straight out.
As Yu Li walked back from the restroom, she suddenly heard cries for help.
It was coming from the end of the corridor. At that moment, everyone was gathered around the studio, and there was no one else in the corridor except her.
After thinking about it, Yu Li went over to take a look.
The cries for help came from a storage room, and Yu Li initially thought that someone might be locked inside.
But when he raised his hand to push, he found that the door was not closed and could be easily pushed open.
A cloud of dust rushed towards me; perhaps because the curtains weren't drawn, the room was quite dark.
Yu Li waved her hand in front of her nose as she walked inside.
Is anyone there?
The cries for help seemed to be coming from a corner, and Yu Li followed the sound into the corner.
Just as I reached the corner, I suddenly heard a loud bang behind me.
Yu Li then realized that the source of the distress call was not a person, but a tape recorder.
The video above is playing on a loop the message, "Help me, help me..."
Yu Li frowned, realizing something was wrong, and turned to walk back, but when she reached the door, she found that the door could not be opened from the inside out.
"Is anyone home? Open the door!"
Yu Li pounded on the door and shouted, but there was no response from outside.
She instinctively reached for her phone, only to realize that she had just come to use the restroom and left it on the chair without taking it with her.
The distress call from the tape recorder and the locked door told Yu Li that someone had deliberately locked her inside.
The other party's purpose was simple: to conduct this interview.
If she doesn't return soon, and there are only a few minutes left before the recording, the station will definitely activate the emergency plan and have someone take her place.
What a brilliant scheme! They've gone to such lengths to plan this; it must have been really tough for them!
*
"Has Yu Li not returned yet? Call her and urge her. There are only five minutes left, and the audience has already started to enter."
The director panicked, and the staff made a phone call, only to find that the phone was ringing on the chair.
"She didn't bring her phone, did she go to the restroom?"
The director said anxiously, "This isn't her first time recording a program. Why is she still in the bathroom at this crucial moment? Doesn't she know that even the chairman is here for this interview?"
Moreover, the interviewee this time is Qi Chenyan, a big shot among big shots.
If anything goes wrong and they anger Qi Chenyan, their entire station will be finished!
The staff who went to look for her returned quickly. "We've searched the restrooms, but she's not there. Where did Yu Li go? What do we do? There are only three minutes left before the recording!"
Director: "Report this to the chairman immediately and let him make a decision!"
