Chapter 1489:

Stop Pretending in Front of Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To seek forgiveness from s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, the great Young Master Han was even willing to put on lipstick!

“…” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya pursed her lips and kept a sullen face as she said, “The camera will capture your face looking as if you just woke up. Who puts on lipstick when they’re sleeping?”

Putting on makeup for the guests of the show was already sparing a thought for their on-screen image. Applying lipstick?

Did he really think the audience was stupid?!

Han Zhuoling: “…”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya did not bother with him anymore and turned to walk out of the tent.

Han Zhuoling remained seated. The tent was clearly not big, but at that moment, he just felt that it was empty and especially unbearable.

Not counting this time, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had helped him to put on makeup a total of two times.

She would explain every step to him every time.

She could feel that he was not eagerly attentive about it. Rather, she was afraid that he could not accept or had doubts about it.

Hence, even when she explained, she kept it very simple, afraid that she would disturb him.

It was precisely that which made her seem even more considerate.

And with regards to that, Han Zhuoling did not find it annoying at all.

If it were someone else, he would feel extremely annoyed if that person said even a word more by his ear.

However, when it came to s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, Han Zhuoling felt that he was coming to like hearing her voice more and more.

He really liked it when she kept talking at the side while he was sitting quietly on his own.

The pace of her talking was not fast. It was light and gentle, like waves gently lapping at his heart, like feathers dusting across it.

Listening to her speak always made him feel comfortable.

Even if he did not pay attention to what she was saying and simply listened to her voice, it sounded exceptionally nice as well.

Of course, he would listen attentively to what she was saying each time.

It was because of this that he felt terrible when s.h.i.+ Xiaoya did not utter a word and quickly finished applying his makeup.

If she did not speak, it would work if he took the initiative to speak first, right?

But even when he initiated a conversation, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya still did not really talk to him.

Han Zhuoling felt sad, so he could not raise his spirits.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya came out of the tent and notified the director, “I’m done with Young Master Ling.”

“Alright,” the director said. “It’s hard on you for being woken up so early. You can go back and rest first. You can wake up when it’s almost 8 am to follow the shoot.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya felt that they probably would not need her from now until 8 am, so she nodded her head and walked towards her own tent.

Others could not sense something amiss with s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, but how would Qin Zigou not be able to tell?

He directly came over to s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s tent and waited.

When s.h.i.+ Xiaoya came, he asked, “Xiaoya, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was afraid that Qin Zigou would worry, so she forced a smile for him.

“Enough, you can stop pretending in front of me.” Qin Zigou could definitely tell whether she was really smiling or just faking it. “Your smile is so ugly. If you can’t smile, just don’t.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya also felt that smiling like this was a little hard, so she hung her head low dispiritedly. The corners of her mouth drooped as well.

When she saw Qin Zigou, it was like seeing her family. She almost revealed the grievances in her heart.

However, she was afraid it would affect Qin Zigou’s filming later. If she talked to Qin Zigou, she would definitely tell him the truth.

Perhaps she would not go into the details, but she probably would not hide Han Zhuoling’s misunderstanding about her from him.

Qin Zigou was not afraid of Han Zhuoling, so she was worried that he would have a conflict with Han Zhuoling during the filming process.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had a feeling that Qin Zigou would surely be on the losing end.

“It’s nothing. I’ll tell you later when you’re done filming,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.

“It’s really nothing?” Qin Zigou saw that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had indeed fixed her emotions and did not look as dejected as she did just now.

Although he did not know exactly what happened, at least she did not look as worrying as she did before. He then nodded and said, “Alright, then, we’ll talk after the filming.”
