Chapter 38 - II
After what seemed like a long time, they finally finished. Someone pulled a mirror in front of Xie Qi and looked at him expectantly, asking, “How is it? Are you satisfied?”
Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen came over to take a closer look and almost stuttered, “It’s… nice.”
Xie Qi was already good-looking, with red lips and white teeth. His facial features were delicate and striking. He had an air of dexterity and a touch of nobility. After the makeup artist worked hard on him, his youthful innocence was covered up, making him appear more refined. His facial lines were a bit sharper, and he had a soft and subtle beauty. He also exuded a sense of maturity, shifting from looking eighteen years old to appearing in his twenties. Visually, he no longer looked like a high school student.
Fan Qingyue blushed and said, “It’s strange, why didn’t I notice how beautiful you were before?”
“…” Xie Qi immediately reached out to cover his face. “You must not fall in love with me. I already belong to someone.”
“Bah, bah, I’m a strong-willed straight man,” Fan Qingyue pushed away Xie Qi’s hand, looked at him again, and confirmed, “You looks better than before… uh, more feminine.”
The stylist listened to their conversation and said proudly, “The top beauties in the world are all androgynous. You are young and don’t understand this kind of male-female appearance. Girls all have unique male-female looks, and they are all very recognizable beauties. Doesn’t Brigitte Lin have a bit of a masculine look? She was very popular. This young man is also very good-looking. Of course, I highlighted his delicate and beautiful features and emphasized his absolute advantage. I didn’t expect the effect to be so amazing. If he goes into the entertainment industry and becomes a top idol, he will succeed without any problem. He has a natural advantage.”
Not many people wanted to listen to the stylist’s lengthy speech. Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen took pictures of Xie Qi with their mobile phones.
The stylist: “…” Well, he packed his things in despair.
At this time, Qin Yizhi approached. He was tall and had a commanding presence. As soon as he entered the hall, everyone noticed him, and the originally lively atmosphere became quiet.
Qin Yizhi didn’t pay much attention to the change in atmosphere. As soon as he entered the hall, his eyes were drawn to Xie Qi.
He was initially walking in Xie Qi’s direction, but his steps faltered inexplicably, and he walked a little slower.
Xie Qi watched him approach and walked over to him. Qin Yizhi’s dark eyes fell heavily on his face. Xie Qi couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He clenched his fingers into fists and kept them by his side. Trying to remain calm, he asked, “Is this, okay?”
Qin Yizhi’s gaze wandered across his face. His Adam’s apple slid slightly as he looked away and whispered, “Okay.”
Noticing his voice was a bit hoarse, Qin Yizhi’s face became colder. He replied calmly, “It looks good.”
This time his voice was back to normal.
Xie Qi didn’t notice this and responded dryly, “That’s good.”
Qin Yizhi said in a deep voice, “Have a rest and then we’ll set off later.”
Xie Qi replied, “Yeah.”
After giving him another look, Qin Yizhi walked away calmly.
.
Li Siwen leaned into Xie Qi’s ear and said, “Qizi, I saw your husband looking at you like a predator, his eyes were glowing green.”
Xie Qi: “Who?”
“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s your husband!” Li Siwen said.
Xie Qi didn’t believe it. “How is it possible? Why didn’t I see it?”
Li Siwen responded anxiously, “You have to believe me. He just stared at you and swallowed. His Adam’s apple moved several times. You didn’t notice this?”
Xie Qi still didn’t believe it. “You’ve read too many novels. I don’t even know how to spot swallowing, but you do?”
Li Siwen was so annoyed that her voice grew louder. She said categorically, “No one understands men better than I do!”
Fan Qingyue raised his hand and stood by Xie Qi’s side. “I didn’t see it either. You’re being dramatic again. All I saw was our brother-in-law looking like someone owed him eight million. How could he be swallowing in hunger just by looking at Qizi? That’s not how it works; you’re the one who’s crazy.”
Xie Qi: “…”
He rolled his eyes, trying to understand their strange conversation.
.
When the time came, the housekeeper asked Xie Qi to go outside.
When Xie Qi was led to the car, Qin Yizhi was already sitting inside.
He was also dressed in a suit and tie today, with his hair neatly styled. He had a slicked-back hairstyle, which looked sharp and handsome.
Xie Qi glanced at him for a moment, his eyes catching the light, and sighed inwardly. He couldn’t deny it, this guy was really handsome, with that sharp jawline.
Xie Qi was amused by his own thoughts, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up.
Qin Yizhi said coldly, “Are you happy?”
Xie Qi: “…”
He turned his head slightly, and his gaze met Qin Yizhi’s dark and intense eyes.
He paused for a moment. For some reason, he felt a little panicked, his throat tightening. It was as if all the water had suddenly evaporated, and he spoke hoarsely, “…What about you? Are you happy?”
He directed the question back.
Qin Yizhi paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Xie Qi’s beautiful face before he replied lightly, “I’m happy.”
