Her lips were bright red, looking like a blood - filled maw, which was a bit scary and chilling.
Qin Qiao'er had never seen a makeup artist do such a poor job of removing makeup. It was truly eye - opening for her. The makeup artist standing behind her immediately let out a surprised cry: "Ah! I'm really sorry! Sister Qiao'er, I was distracted just now, so I didn't remove your makeup properly. I'm sorry. I'll fix it right away."
Seeing her apologize, Qin Qiao'er didn't blame her anymore. She just closed her eyes and let the makeup artist wipe and rub on her face.
After the makeup was removed, the day was over. She returned to her apartment exhausted and called Xiao Li to pick up Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan.
After taking a short rest, she went downstairs to bring Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan back. She bathed them, ordered takeout, and had dinner.
Just as she was about to go to sleep, she received an unexpected call.
Xia Hankong had always been thinking about Qin Qiao'er. After returning home, he wanted to see her, but he also knew that if he was too aggressive, Qin Qiao'er might reject him.
In a luxurious and grand - looking villa, Xia Hankong was wearing a white custom - made suit, looking extremely handsome.
He held a glass of red wine in his hand. His well - defined fingers were like sculptures, looking so elegant and noble. No wonder people said he was the most good - looking male star in the contemporary entertainment circle, a rare sight in the world.
At this moment, the highly - adored Xia Hankong was only thinking about one woman, Qin Qiao'er. Just thinking about her smiles and frowns made him can't help but curl up his lips in a good - looking arc.
So he made up his mind and couldn't help but take out his phone to call Qin Qiao'er again. His deep and magnetic voice sounded: "Sister Qiao'er, how was your work today? Are you tired?"
Receiving his call, Qin Qiao'er was slightly stunned. Although she knew it was a bit inappropriate for him to call her so late at night, she didn't think much about it.
"Not too bad. Why are you calling me so late instead of sleeping?" she asked while using a towel to wipe her wet hair.
"Can't I, as your friend, care about you? Hmm?" Xia Hankong's eyes were fixed on the floor - to - ceiling window outside. At this moment, colorful neon lights were flashing continuously in his eyes. The floor - to - ceiling window on the dozens - story building showed the bustling scene of the traffic below.
The night was obviously not very prominent in this world. It had already been dominated by the colorful neon lights and become colorful.
He softly uttered a string of pleasant words: "Do you have time tomorrow? How about I invite you to dinner?"
"Invite me to dinner again?" Qin Qiao'er couldn't help but widen her eyes. Xia Hankong had invited her out to dinner several times, and several times she had been caught by Zhao Youting. Moreover, Zhao Youting had warned her several times not to have dinner alone with the opposite sex, otherwise that jealous man would surely be angry...
So this time she was honest. Even though the other party only regarded her as a friend, she didn't want to make Zhao Youting sad. So she had to decline.
"Sorry, Xia Hankong. I have to shoot a movie tomorrow. I don't have much time to have dinner with you. I'm sorry."
Xia Hankong felt a slight pain in his heart when he heard her rejection, but he didn't force it. He gave a very generous smile, which was extremely warm. His appearance was a bit like that of a medieval nobleman, and every move of his was full of elegance and gentility.
"It's okay. If you're busy... I'll be free tomorrow noon. How about I bring you some of your favorite food and have dinner with you? You won't reject this, right?"
"Okay, I have something to do here. I'll hang up first." Before Qin Qiao'er could decline on the phone, he directly hung up.
His behavior was obviously a bit domineering. Anyway, Xia Hankong was a rich young master. He had always gotten whatever he wanted since childhood. No woman had ever rejected him like this. So it was okay for one or two rejections, but the third time was absolutely unacceptable. This was a man's dignity!
Suddenly, there was a beeping sound on the phone. Qin Qiao'er frowned tightly. She realized that the other party had already hung up before she could respond. She immediately exclaimed: "Oh my god, how could this person be so domineering!"
"Sigh..." She sighed again. Then she angrily ran her hands through her hair, messing up her just - washed hair and looking extremely disheveled.
Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan were already asleep. Hearing Qin Qiao'er's cries, they immediately woke up.
Qin Chenchen rubbed his chubby hands over his eyes, looked at Qin Qiao'er, and softly called out: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
He was a bit scared. At this moment, Qin Qiao'er looked like a different person, a bit strange.
Hearing her son's voice, Qin Qiao'er quickly stopped what she was doing. She immediately asked with concern: "Baby, I'm sorry. Mom's voice was a bit loud just now. Go back to sleep quickly. Mom won't talk anymore, okay?"
Then she walked directly to the bed where Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan were. She gently lifted their quilt and lay down beside them.
Her hair was still not dry. She just lay on her side with her wet hair spread out on the other side.
A mother's embrace was always extremely warm. Qin Chenchen smelled the faint fragrance on her body and the moist air, and slowly fell asleep again.
However, Qin Qiao'er didn't sleep well that night. In her dream, she kept running. There was a white mist in front of her, and she couldn't see the destination. She didn't know why she was running. It seemed that someone was telling her that there was a piece of meat in front, and as long as she ran there, she could eat it...
So she just kept running and running. In the dream, she was wearing a pair of 7 - centimeter high - heeled shoes, and she was so tired that she wanted to throw the shoes away.
So when she woke up in the morning, she found that her legs were already sore. It was difficult for her to even get out of bed.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..." She gently moved her thighs and found that she couldn't move the muscles from her thighs to her calves, as well as her waist.
"How could this happen? Could it be that I'm paralyzed now?" She immediately frowned and sat on the bed crying.
