She could feel her heart beating faster and faster. Because he was touching up her makeup, Qin Zhou was leaning so close to her that the soft breath escaping from between his lips brushed against her. It was warm, but it scorched her skin.
Too nervous to speak, Liang Yin even found herself breathing carefully.
After wiping some of the botched eye shadow off her eyelids, Qin Zhou applied some brown eye shadow. It was very light, but very natural. He dusted makeup powder over it.
âDone.â He had completed her makeup.
Qin Zhou handed her the vanity mirror. Liang Yin picked it up and looked into it.
âOh God!â
What a masterful touch-up technique! Originally, her makeup was very stiff. To use a phrase she hesitated to say, it was very dusty and thick. However, after Qin Zhouâs skillful application, unexpectedly, it was transformed into something quite exquisite.
âNice.â
Liang Yin felt a little ashamed. Even a man was better at putting on makeup than her. Her capability in this area was⦠hopeless!
The man smiled and said, âI think with your qualifications, outside of special occasions, youâd look much better without makeup.â
Liang Yinâs blush deepened.
âWhat would you like to eat?â Qin Zhou asked, âAs I recall, you like western food?â
âUh huh.â
âI know of a nice restaurant. Iâll take you there.â
When Liang Yin heard this, she asked in confusion, âWhy⦠why did you invite me to dinner?â
âOoohâ¦â Qin Zhou started the car and turned the wheel. âActually, nothing happened to us that night,â he said.
âWhat?â Liang Yin was stunned for a few seconds, but she quickly realized what Qin Zhou was referring to. She immediately said, âOh, this matter! Itâs actually nothing. I⦠havenât thought too much about it!â
âItâs better for the person involved to explain such things personally.â
Liang Yin was faintly disappointed. It felt as though Qin Zhou was trying his best to clear the air, trying to explain there was no special association between them. Actually, there was no need to explain. She did not let her imagination run wild. With the explanation, however, it was as if he wanted to draw a clear line between them!
âI know. And I wonât pester you over this matterâ¦â Liang Yin said this because she thought that Qin Zhou was worried she would pester him about this.
Qin Zhou knew what she was thinking and was in no hurry to explain. Instead, he said calmly, âThat morning, the things I said⦠they didnât mean anything. They were just a test.â
âEh?â
âBecause the moment I woke up and interacted with you, I sensed that you werenât Hua Jin.â
The manager continued, âBut I wasnât sure. So, I had to verify. Sure enough, you guys had switched back! Thatâs a good thing, too. Itâs worth celebrating! So letâs call this dinner a celebration and an apology for overstepping my boundaries.â
Liang Yin nodded, blushing. She was especially nervous. Prince Charming was sitting right next to her. How could she not be nervous?
The car sped towards its destination. They pulled up at an extremely elegant western restaurant. Liang Yin looked up, but saw a series of English letters on the signboard, but they were not in English.
French?
Qin Zhou walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for her. Liang Yin got out and pointed to the sign. âWhat kind of⦠western restaurant is this?â
âThis is French food. Three-star Michelin.â
âWhatâs Michelin? Donât they sell tires?â
The man was dumbfounded. After a half second of stunned silence, he burst out laughing.
