The wig was different from the one he usually wore; the hair color was darker, and the amount of hair seemed thinner.
Gu Xinglan put on her wig only after changing her shoes.
"Hurry up."
Li Yuechang glanced at his watch and urged, "Let me be clear, you've taken too long. If I were to encounter someone like you normally, I'd make you do at least a few dozen squats first..."
The person next to me kept nagging.
He seems to be a chatterbox.
The chanting in her ears was like a mantra, but Gu Xinglan ignored it, put on the wig, and started combing her hair.
As a result, the combs were snatched away by the people behind them.
"Li Yuechang, if you're bored, I suggest you practice Iron Crotch Kung Fu. Now, quickly give me the comb." Gu Xinglan closed her eyes tightly, her heart pounding with anger.
System: [Host, are you complaining that his balls are a pain?]
Whether Li Yuechang understood or not, he twirled the comb in his hand a few times and laughed, "I'll take that as a compliment on my stamina."
After speaking, Li Yuechang walked to the sofa.
He swept a handful of Gu Xinglan's long hair up: "You're wearing a formal dress now. Since it's an important occasion, it's not good to have your hair down. Instead of using hair oil, why not put on a new hairstyle..."
The person behind him kept muttering as he combed his hair.
The slight touch of the other person's touch, which lifted his scalp, made him appreciate a subtle nuance in their movements.
"to make."
"I've been a professional hairstylist for twenty years. It would be a real shame if you didn't become a member with me today."
Li Yuechang finished quickly and skillfully, until he stopped and looked triumphantly at the person on the sofa whose hair was neatly styled.
Through the reflective wall.
Unexpectedly, her previously long hair was tied up high, like a blooming black peony, with only a few strands hanging down beside her fair neck, like a weeping willow.
With a look of admiration in her eyes, Gu Xinglan turned to look behind her.
The result... "Don't move."
"Let me do your makeup again."
“Let me tell you, during my years in the army, I was either on my way to civilian work or on reconnaissance missions. Putting on makeup was a daily routine.” Li Yuechang produced a lipstick from who-knows-where in his hand.
She bent over, her eyes unusually focused, her brows furrowed, staring intently at his lips.
The sensation on the lips is like applying lipstick, and also like the touch of someone's fingertips.
"Your lips are quite easy to apply..."
Li Yuechang stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.
……
The atmosphere is weird.
Gu Xinglan suppressed the urge to purse her lips.
Applying lipstick should only take a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity to him.
His eyelashes trembled involuntarily, and he could even feel the other person's presence just by looking up.
It's often said that the most terrifying thing is when a straight man flirts unconsciously.
To ease the tension, Gu Xinglan asked, "You served in the military?"
"Mercenaries"
"I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to make lots and lots of money, find a wife and have children, and that's it for my life."
Ok?
Gu Xinglan raised her eyes, her gaze carrying a barely perceptible observation.
"Then why are you still working for Li Taihe?"
When asked this question, the person stopped talking and didn't continue.
His attempts to use platitudes seemed extremely clumsy.
When faced with a patient who refuses to speak, he can use all his skills, from being reasonable to patiently persuading.
But this kind of thing isn't his forte.
"What I mean is, if you like a stable life, why would you go and do a job with no security around Taihe?"
Seeing that Li Yuechang seemed to want to speak.
Everyone has a desire to share, so Gu Xinglan tried to soften her voice and said gently, "Is it because he is your young master? Or is it because of the Li family?"
"...Damn, why do you talk so much?"
Li Yuechang frowned, reached out and pinched someone's cheek: "Do you know who dies from talking too much? The villain! The villain in the novel, you know? You should read more books. Look at you, you dare to ask anything. If you met that kid Li Huiwen, who knows, one second you'd ask and the next second it'd be reported to President Li. It's only because I know a little about social etiquette that I'm not careful. If you weren't so obedient, I would have given you a good whip kick already..."
Towards the end, my fingers seemed to go numb.
Li Yuechang let go of her hand and glared at the person on the sofa: "You don't even need to wear foundation on your face."
"Work hard today. If you want to join us, you have to show others your value, understand?"
This person didn't loosen their grip at all.
Gu Xinglan covered her face, a stinging sensation constantly emanating from it.
But they deliberately pinched the area near the temples.
But there was no dissatisfaction on his face.
My mind is filled with the word "join".
Does joining mean he can stay with the Li family?
The thought raced through Gu Xinglan's mind. After staring at the person opposite him for a while, she joked, "Then... I'll call you Brother Li first!"
"You're so glib!"
Li Yuechang spat and threw the lipstick on the table, straightened up, and crossed his arms.
"Alright, don't waste Mr. Li's time, get out of here."
Upon hearing this, the person on the sofa stood up and stomped their toes.
The new high heels are fully enclosed, only three or four centimeters high, and made of mid-heel leather. They are extremely comfortable to wear.
He saw a fairy who looked like she had stepped out of a ghost story, and she smiled at him.
Li Yuechang's fingers, hidden in his arm, twitched, and he grinned, showing his big teeth, and said, "Salute!"
"..."
Gu Xinglan's ingratiating smile froze on her face.
If he tries to please this person, this person will try to please him even more. It is said that offense is the best defense, and clearly, this person understands this principle well.
……
Outside.
The familiar scent of cigarettes slowly wafted in from the entrance of the passageway.
The man stood by the window, leaning against the wall, his eyes gazing indifferently outside.
It's 2:30 pm now, which is the hottest time of day.
Outside the window, all you see are tall buildings. Sunlight reflects off the glass curtain walls, creating a dazzling and confusing spectacle.
As Gu Xinglan stepped outside, she couldn't help but slow her breathing.
In his eyes.
All that could be seen was the shadow of Li Taihe's other half, backlit and hidden behind the sunlight, his nose and cheeks dark and dull, with only his cheekbones showing a hint of cold light.
It's hard to imagine that this person is in his thirties.
If you don't open your mouth to speak, you're no different from a young person in the prime of their youth.
He was walking almost on the soles of his shoes, and he believed he hadn't made any noise. He was just about to ask the person when they were leaving.
The other person seemed to have known he had come out of the private room all along, and lightly flicked the ash from his cigarette: "Finish this one and then leave."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan's eyes lit up, and she ran back to the private room to get an ashtray. Holding it in her hands, she walked to Li Taihe's side and helped him collect the ashes.
He figured that being a lover would be difficult, so he might as well add the identity of a henchman as well.
The Changgu villa company laid off all its cooking and cleaning staff.
This means that he can learn to cook, and by winning over the Li people's stomachs, he can win their hearts.
Just as she was secretly pleased, Gu Xinglan quietly raised her eyes.
But he noticed that the person's gaze had shifted from outside the window to him.
I don't know how long I watched it.
Gu Xinglan felt uncomfortable all over, turned her eyes away, and asked weakly, "Is there something on my face?"
What happened to your right cheek?
Right cheek?
Through the reflection in the window, you could immediately see that his right cheek was completely red!
"I tripped and fell." Gu Xinglan shrugged. "I was hiding under the table when my leg went numb, and I tripped and fell when I came out."
