Chapter 141 Thank you, Tingting, my darling.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Yiting arrived at [Yunlan] with two makeup artists and Chu Luo.
Xie Qing went to the dressing room, selected one of the ten outfits designed by Leo that best suited the event, and changed into it. Soon after, she was dressed and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Upon seeing this, two makeup artists gathered around, opened their suitcases, and began to style and apply makeup to Xie Qing.
During this time, Huo Yunting pulled up a chair and sat down to the side, casually crossing his long legs. His gaze was like two sturdy chains, locking the person within his sight.
About half an hour later, the makeup and styling were finished. The two makeup artists breathed a sigh of relief and packed up their things to wait in the living room.
Xie Qing opened her eyes, her gaze unwavering, meeting Huo Yunting's burning eyes in the mirror.
He blinked his beautiful fox-like eyes, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Huo Yunting standing behind him in the mirror.
She tilted her head slightly, parted her lips slightly, and silently mouthed, "Am I pretty?"
Huo Yunting leaned down, his tall and slender figure slightly tilted forward, close to Xie Qing's face, his pale cherry-colored lips parted slightly, his voice deep and gentle.
"Lightly is very pretty."
He was so beautiful that he didn't want to let him leave.
Xie Qing gave Huo Yunting a kiss on the cheek as a reward, momentarily forgetting that she was wearing color-changing lipstick.
After they separated, a faint red, complete lip print was clearly visible on the other person's well-defined face.
Seeing this, Xie Qing seemed to have been tickled and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Huo Yunting was somewhat confused until he looked in the mirror and saw the striking light red lipstick mark on his face, and then he instantly understood.
Xie Qing finally managed to stop laughing, pulled a tissue from the tissue box and handed it to Huo Yunting, her eyes smiling, "Hurry up and wipe yourself."
Huo Yunting kissed Xie Qing's earlobe and naturally acted coquettishly towards his lover, "Gently wipe it for me."
Xie Qing has always been indulgent towards Huo Yunting, and he usually fulfills Huo Yunting's requests as long as they are not too unreasonable.
Sometimes, even more outrageous requests are permitted by Xie Qing.
Xie Qing raised her hand and gently wiped the lip print off Huo Yunting's face.
"Alright." Slender white fingers gently stroked Huo Yunting's face. "It's clean."
Huo Yunting gave a soft "hmm" and then placed a kiss on Xie Qingying's smooth earlobe.
The warm breath sprayed against her ear, making Xie Qing tremble slightly.
A moment later, Xie Qing felt a weight on his left ear as a delicate and beautiful slender earring, inlaid with a red gemstone, landed steadily on his earlobe.
Huo Yunting said, "Qingqing, it suits you very well."
The moment he saw it at the auction, he thought it would look beautiful worn lightly.
Xie Qing lightly touched the earring on her left ear with her fingertips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled smugly, "I think so too."
He blew Huo Yunting a kiss, "Thank you, Tingting, my darling."
Huo Yunting: Blushing and shy... Heart racing.
……
Around 5 p.m., the afterglow of the setting sun painted the city in a warm yellow outline as Xie Qing drove to the event venue.
This fashion gala was held at Yimengyuan, the largest park in City A.
The park is lush with flowers and trees, interspersed with European-style buildings, and has a sparkling artificial lake, making it a trendy landmark in City A.
When Xie Qing arrived, the event had just begun. The venue was brightly lit, bustling with people, and media cameras were flashing incessantly.
As a currently popular male celebrity, he has countless endorsement advertisements and his every move attracts much attention.
For the organizers of this fashion gala, Xie Qing was a walking traffic magnet, so they specially arranged for him to make a grand finale appearance.
There was still a long time before Xie Qing's appearance, so Xiang Yiting bought some mochi from somewhere and handed it to her artist.
"Eat something, or you'll get hungry later."
Xie Qing wasn't very hungry yet, so she only took one, and the rest went into Xiang Yiting and Chu Luo's stomachs.
The group waited for a while longer, when suddenly, a staff member wearing a name tag rushed over.
The other person, bent over and panting, knocked on the window of Xie Qing's nanny van.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Xiang Yiting asked suspiciously, "It's our turn to go on stage, but I don't see the time yet?"
The staff member explained, "I'm so sorry, there was a slight problem. Ms. Xue, who was supposed to appear before Ms. Xie, hasn't arrived yet, so..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear enough.
"Um... thank you for your help, Teacher Xie."
After saying this, the staff member hurriedly went back.
The tranquil atmosphere inside the car was broken by a small incident.
Xie Qing, curious, turned her head to look at her manager in the passenger seat, whose face was full of anger, "Sister Ting, who is this Teacher Xue that person was talking about?"
"The previous queen of the entertainment industry, Xuehuang, almost always closed the fashion gala in the past few years, but this time it's your turn."
At this point, Xiang Yiting's face grew even uglier. "She's definitely trying to steal your spotlight! I bet she'll show up the moment you step onto the red carpet, just to annoy you."
Xie Qing had, of course, thought of this as well.
Such things are commonplace in the entertainment industry: scrambling for the finale, the center position, billing order, tearing up numbers, switching seats... He's seen far too many of these kinds of incidents.
But now is not the time to act impulsively. We can't just keep refusing to come and then refuse to go either.
This stalemate is not good for anyone.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Qing said, "Assistant Chu, let's drive over. It's our turn to go on stage."
Xiang Yiting had no objection to Xie Qing's decision. Despite her complaints, she ultimately prioritized the overall situation.
The car slowly drove towards the red carpet. Inside, Xiang Yiting kept encouraging Xie Qing, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, do you hear me..."
Xie Qing smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Sister Ting."
The car slowly came to a stop, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the car door slowly opened.
In an instant, countless camera flashes came crashing down, as if trying to peel off the skin of the person who came out.
However, when they saw who it was, the scene fell into a deathly silence, and even the flashes stopped for a few seconds.
What followed was an even more frenzied scream and gasp, almost piercing the sky.
The flashes of the cameras at the scene resembled a dense cluster of twinkling stars in the night sky, flashing continuously and illuminating the scene as bright as day.
Xie Qing was already very familiar with this kind of scene. A perfectly timed smile played on his lips. He was confident and composed, exuding an air of nobility that shone as brightly as the sun.
He walked in, smiling and waving to the fans in the audience.
As he moved, the earring on his left ear swayed gently, like a lively little elf.
Under the intense light, the rubies on the earrings refracted a dazzling light, their red both striking and profound, drawing everyone's attention.
