novelShe Needs It More Than Me
| ← Ch.429 | Ch.431 → |
Xie Ming was sitting there and was watching the show which was going on behind her.
Shi Ya hasn't started doing her makeup yet and Yuan Lei started making a fuss out of it.
" Xu Lan, if Ms. Yuan wants to do her makeup first, then let her do it. I don't want to get my makeup done anyway. I will do it myself." Xie Ming said with a straight face.
Xie Ming looked at Xu Lan through the mirror as she spoke.
Xu Lan looked at Xie Ming as she furrowed her brows.
" Xie Ming, what are you saying? You don't want makeup? See, I know you have great skin but you definitely need makeup because in front of the camera, things change. It's a photoshoot for an official poster. The photos will be used for social media and as the official poster. We can't mess this up."
Xu Lan felt her blood boiling because it was only the start and people were making her crazy.
" Xu Lan, don't worry. I know about it. I will handle my makeup myself, so please let Ms. Yuan Lei do her makeup here. She needs it more than me anyway." Xie Ming said casually as she glanced at Yuan Lei.
" Pfft" Lily chuckled when she heard Xie Ming's words. Everyone's attention turned to her as they saw her controlling her laugh.
Yuan Lei was pleased at first that Xie Ming agreed to let her makeup do first. But her expressions darkened when she heard her last words.
' What did she mean by she needed it more? Is she saying that she is ugly?'
Yuan Lei gritted her teeth and before she could say anything, Xie Ming stood up and walked forward and said, " Xu Lan I am going to meet Han Lei and others. Don't worry, I will get ready for the shoot on time."
"And Ms. Yuan, you can change freely since I won't be in the room. By the way, this dress really... suits you." Xie Ming smiled provocatively as she looked at Yuan Lei.
Yuan Lei was wearing a white colored ragged dress which was for her role as the lowly maiden*.
Yuan Lei gritted her teeth when she saw Xie Ming going out of the room confidently.
" Hah. What a coward." Yuan Lei spat her words as Xie Ming left.
Lily: " - _-"
Shi Ya: " - _-"
Xu Lan: "- _-"
They couldn't understand who won this battle. Because even though Xie Ming left, she succeeded in making Yuan Lei annoyed and frustrated.
.....
Xie Ming left the vanity room and was planning to go to Han Lei's vanity room when her phone rang.
She looked at the screen and a smile appeared on her lips.
" What are you doing?" Just as she picked the call, a charming voice came from the other side.
" Nothing. I am just planning to do my makeup, since I am done with my costume fitting." she replied casually as she walked to go outside.
Just as she was about to go outside, she halted in her steps seeing Jian Yan entering the studio.
She remembered that Xu Lan had told her that Jian Yan would come late because of his other schedule.
She smiled at him and nodded in greeting. Seeing her on the phone, he also nodded without any expression.
He saw Xie Ming going outside while holding her phone. She had a gentle smile on her face while she was on the phone.
He sighed as he didn't need to guess who was on the phone. It must be her husband.
" You came? It's good that you're on time. You can go to the vanity room in the corner. You and Wu Sheng have to share the vanity room. Do you have any problem with that?" Xu Lan worriedly asks him as she remembered the argument with Yuan Lei just now.
" I am fine with anything." he shook his head and went to his vanity room as Xu Lan instructed him.
...
" Don't you have a makeup artist? Why do you need to do your makeup yourself? " Liwie pursed his lips as he heard her words.
" We have a makeup artist. It just, I want to do my own makeup. That's it."
She was actually not bothered about the fact that she has to do her makeup herself because it was her choice.
Since she is playing the role of Empress, she knows better than anyone how to dress up as an Empress.
It's been so long since she has gotten ready like her past self. She really wanted to do it herself.
That's why she didn't mind Yuan Le's words and decided to do it herself.
" What are you doing?" Xie Ming questioned him back.
" Me? I am talking to my wife." He grinned as he said playfully while ignoring the existence of Gu Shao in the room.
Gu Shao stood there awkwardly while holding the file he just brought in for his signature.
A smile appeared on Xie Ming's face as she heard her words. Her ears turned red due to embarrassment.
She never thought that his simple sentence would make her heart beat crazily.
" Ahem. I think I need to go back now. See you at home." Xie Ming hurriedly said when she saw Song Xiner waving at her.
" Okay. Don't exhaust yourself too much." Liwei said before hanging up the call.
Xie Ming went to Song Xiner and asked, " Why? Do you have something to say? "
"What's wrong with you? How can you say that you will do your makeup herself?" Song Xiner questioned Xie Ming frustratingly.
" Xie Ming it's not your normal contemporary photoshoot where you can do your own makeup. It's a historical theme photoshoot, which needs specialized makeup according to the concept. How can you do it yourself?"
" How can you do your hairstyle yourself? Do you know how difficult historical hairstyles are?" Song Xiner questioned while raising her voice slightly.
When she went inside after attending the call, she found out everything about what happened from Xie Ming.
She cannot believe that Xie Ming would react like this just because of Yuan Lei's provocation.
Xie Ming is her artist, she can't let her take stupid decision like this. This is not a casual photoshoot. After this, the articles will be released and that's why they need to be very particular about this shoot.
Xie Ming saw Song Xiner's worried expressions and smiled, " You don't need to worry about this. I won't disappoint anyone by getting ready myself. I know very well that we have to shoot according to the historical concept. That's why I am confident about doing it myself."
" Now let's go inside. I need to get ready as well." Xie Ming said as she patted Song Xiner's arm. 𝐟𝚛𝚎𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝗻o𝘃e𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
' Hais'
" This girl never listens to me..." Song Xiner murmured as she followed Xie Ming inside.
Maiden* is an old fashioned term used for young unmarried woman.
