Chapter 377: Paying a Visit on the Set
When the makeup artist saw Qin Muxuan come in, she quickly welcomed her warmly. “Xiao Xuan, is everything alright? When I heard that you asked for a few days off, I was worried sick about you.”
Qin Muxuan was slightly stunned. Although the makeup artist and she got along with each other, they were never so intimate.
When she saw the makeup artist’s smiling face, Qin Muxuan felt a bit awkward, but she still put on a polite smile, “Everything is fine. I was a little uncomfortable, but I’m fine now.”
Having heard that, whether she meant it or whether she was just being polite, the makeup artist said “As an actress, you work so hard every day. You must take good care of yourself!”
Qin Muxuan was still not used to everyone being so nice to her so suddenly, so she only nodded and thanked her.
Qin Muxuan looked around and asked wonderingly, “Why is there no one else in the dressing room? Are they here yet?”
The smile on the makeup artist’s face deepened. “You don’t know that? The producer has made this dressing room exclusive to you. Everyone else is in the next room.”
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment and muttered, “But this can’t be right, right?”
“What could be wrong with it? With your status, it’s not right for you to squeeze yourself in this room with everyone else,” the makeup artist said with a hint of slyness in her eyes.
Qin Muxuan hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “I don’t have any special status. I’ll stay in the same room with everyone else.” And she was ready to get out.
The makeup artist hurriedly tugged at Qin Muxuan. “Alright, I know you haven’t made it public yet. I was just joking.”
Qin Muxuan was speechless. That was not what she meant. She felt that she wouldn’t be able to explain it whatever she said.
The makeup artist made Qin Muxuan sit in front of the mirror. “The producer meant well. He was afraid that you weren’t used to sharing a room with others, so just accept it. Alright, we should stop talking and get started.”
The makeup artist knew what Qin Muxuan’s temper was like and she knew that she was very easy-going, so even if Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin were together now, apart from being more friendly, the makeup artist didn’t show any signs of extra fear or politeness.
Qin Muxuan was now forced to sit on a stool, and she couldn’t find a way to get away. She wanted to keep a low profile, but everyone in the crew didn’t give her the chance.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
At the same time, there was uproar outside the dressing room. It turned out that Qin Xiaobai had arrived at the set. Most importantly, Gu Zijin personally took him here!
If it had been before, there wouldn’t have been such big uproar. After all, Gu Zijin, as Qin Xiaobai’s father, had come to the set before.
However, it was different now. Over the past few days, the scandal between Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan had gone viral. Gu Zijin had even publicly confessed his love for her on Weibo. And Qin Muxuan had just returned to the set today, and Gu Zijin came right after her, which spoke volumes to the onlookers.
When the director saw that Gu Zijin was here, he hurriedly went up to greet him. The enthusiasm he displayed now was even greater than when he saw Qin Muxuan. After all, Gu Zijin was his patron and he needed to ride on his coattails!
“President Gu, to what do I owe this pleasure?”
Gu Zijin said in a faint tone, “I’m here with Xiaobai. I’ll just look around.” As for whom he meant to see, it was quite obvious.
The director was very smart. He didn’t waste more time and said directly, “Qin Xuan is in the dressing room. We have prepared an exclusive dressing room for her.”
Gu Zijin nodded and said to Lisa who was standing behind him, “Give everyone the drinks.”
Then he picked up a box that was obviously meticulously and specially packed, and said good bye to the director before heading straight to the dressing room.
Lisa looked at her boss’s back and felt very resentful. As a CEO’s assistant, she was unable to showcase her working capabilities. Instead, she was always doing these strangely trivial things from changing the wallpaper to distributing drinks.
When Gu Zijin called Lisa and asked her to buy more than 100 cups of drinks early this morning, Lisa already had a bad feeling about it. Sure enough, the boss was off duty again, and came to the set!
Although he had also come to visit Qin Xiaobai before, he would not be considerate enough to buy any drinks. Lisa was very speechless, as her boss was blinded by love and did things he wouldn’t normally do.
Though she felt like complaining, seemingly, Lisa maintained a perfect, polite smile, while ordering her subordinates to distribute the drinks to the crew.
When everyone saw Gu Zijin, although they were shocked and curious, they didn’t dare to look at him directly. Now that he had left, they immediately started gossiping.
“Oh, my God, President Gu brought drinks for us. I’ll post it on my Moments!”
“Looks like the news online is true. We need to thank his girlfriend for our drinks!”
Although they didn’t mention a name, they knew exactly who they were talking about.
Well, Qin Muxuan’s plan to keep a low profile was completely ruined by Gu Zijin.
The makeup artist was doing eye makeup for Qin Muxuan. With her eyes closed, Qin Muxuan listened to the makeup artist’s exaggerated praise, “Xiao Xuan, you’re so fair-skinned. And it’s really smooth and delicate. I think this foundation is too dark compared to your skin.”
“Xiao Xuan, your eyelashes are so long. You know what, those actresses who have eyelash extensions can’t compete with you. Your eyelashes are so natural and dense!”
Qin Muxuan felt quite embarrassed while the makeup artist flattered her, so she only smiled politely and didn’t say anything.
Qin Muxuan heard the sound of the door being opened and the makeup artist stopped talking abruptly. As her eyes were closed, Qin Muxuan didn’t know who it was. “Jian Xi?”
Then Qin Muxuan heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. And she heard a cold voice, “It’s me.”
Qin Muxuan instantly opened her eyes and saw Gu Zijin, who had already placed the box on the table naturally. “Why are you here?”
The makeup artist was applying eyeliner for Qin Muxuan and she was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Zijin come in. Then Qin Muxuan opened her eyes and the eyeliner instantly deviated to her temple.
The makeup artist saw that and got panicked and started to apologize. She took out a cotton pad and meant to wipe it clean, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I was too careless!”
Seeing how nervous the makeup artist was, Qin Muxuan felt a little helpless. She smiled and took the cotton pad, “It’s okay. It’s not your fault. I opened my eyes. I’ll wipe it myself.” And she glared at Gu Zijin. The look on her face spoke volumes: It’s all your fault!
Qin Muxuan poured some makeup remover on the makeup cotton pad and carefully wiped her eyeliner clean. The makeup artist still felt some lingering fear. She secretly looked at Gu Zijin from the corner of her eye.
Gu Zijin seemed to feel the makeup artist’s gaze and he looked away from Qin Muxuan to face her. His voice was still very cold, “There’re drinks outside.”
The makeup artist didn’t quite follow him. “Huh?”
Moments later, she suddenly understood and said, “Okay, I’ll go out then. Miss Qin, when you’re done, just say it and I’ll continue to do the makeup for you.” And she ran away from the dressing room.
After the makeup artist went out, she carefully closed the door, as if she were afraid to startle the two people inside.
Only after the door was fully closed, did the makeup artist pat her chest with her heart still fluttering with fear. President Gu indeed had a strong aura!
