Chapter 985 - 984: Helping You With Makeup

"Hahaha, I see, I really overthought it. I actually thought... well, you know."Looking at the sudden appearance of this line of information on the screen, He Qing's finger, which was about to drop, finally stopped less than a centimeter above the screen. After a few seconds of hesitation, it landed on the screen, but instead of clicking send, she deleted the line she had just typed one by one.

Then, she replaced it with a cartoon pig head emoji and a sentence, "Don't overthink it, get some sleep early. We'll have to pick up the bride tomorrow. Good night."

Click, send.

Two seconds later, Chu Ge's message came back, "Good night."

After exchanging good night wishes, in two different rooms, they both did the same thing: they turned off their phones, placed them aside, and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly.

The next morning, Chu Ge got up around four, shaved the very fine stubble he had carefully shaved yesterday, put on a crisp shirt and suit, and tied a red belt.

Facing the mirror, Chu Ge seriously examined his appearance. After a few minutes, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, giving his signature smile to the reflection.

At five o'clock, there was a knock at the door. When Chu Ge opened it, he saw Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan.

Chen Jiatong was wearing a blue host dress today, Xu Jingyuan a red host dress, exactly the two they had worn when hosting Shi Tong's wedding before. Both had finished their makeup, and Chu Ge felt dazzled at first glance.

Chu Ge wasn't the only one who felt dazzled; Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan felt the same way. Today, Chu Ge looked particularly impressive, casually exuding a masculine aura from head to toe, and the slightly raised corner of his lips seemed to interpret a unique softness.

The three of them, standing inside and outside the door, looked at each other for two seconds before Chen Jiatong spoke first.

"Chu, have you been up for a while?"

"Mm, a little while," Chu Ge nodded, smiling. "You two look so beautiful today; are you perhaps trying to outshine my wife?"

Xu Jingyuan laughed softly, "Chu, you can tease us. No matter how we dress up, we're definitely no match for the chairwoman. Today, the chairwoman must be the most beautiful, happiest woman in the world."

Hearing Xu Jingyuan say this, Chu Ge felt very comfortable inside, and the corners of his mouth rose even higher unconsciously.

Chen Jiatong also laughed at this moment, "Chu, we're standing at the door; aren't you going to invite us in, or do you want us to talk to you from outside? Are you... perhaps afraid we have ulterior motives?"

"Don't be ridiculous! What do I have to be afraid of?"

Chu Ge shook his head amusingly, stepped aside from the door, and Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan walked into the room without closing the door behind them, sitting down on the sofa.

If Chu Ge had had any concerns earlier, this small detail of them leaving the door open dispelled those concerns. No matter what they thought of him now, at least they wouldn't do anything irrational at this crucial moment.

Chu Ge took a look at the hands of these two women. Both were carrying makeup bags, likely intending to help him with a light touch-up.

"Chu, we were worried you were too excited last night to sleep and wouldn't wake up this morning, so we came to wake you up. But now it seems we worried too much; your energetic demeanor makes you the most impressive groom I've ever seen."

Chen Jiatong explained their intentions with a smile. Chu Ge arrogantly touched his nose, "Of course! Do you know why I woke up this early? I literally woke up because of my own handsomeness!"

Xu Jingyuan raised her hand to gently touch her forehead, making a "dizzy" gesture, then chuckled, "Chu, even though you're telling the truth, bragging about yourself like this might not be the best?"

Chu Ge laughed more arrogantly, scratched his head, and said, "Being honest is fine; there's nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, I'm just that genuine."

Chen Jiatong giggled, "Alright, Chu, we know you're the best. You're righteous and kind, incredibly skilled, a top-notch charmer, cheeky, and good-looking. No one in the world could be a more perfect man than you."

Upon hearing Chen Jiatong say this, Chu Ge immediately felt black lines rolling across his forehead. Among all the supposed compliments in her evaluation, there seemed to be some odd words mixed in.

Xu Jingyuan continued, "But, even if our Chu is exceptionally good-looking, on such an important day, a little extra touch-up will make all the difference, or else under the lights, it might not look as good."

As she spoke, Xu Jingyuan opened her makeup bag, categorized its contents, and gestured to Chu Ge.

"Mr. Chu, come sit here. Let me and Tongtong do some detailed work on your makeup. We may not be as good as the Chairman at chasing after a male god, but when it comes to makeup skills, I'm confident we can do slightly better than the Chairman."

"Well, I guess it's better to follow your lead. I'll entrust my head to you two."

Seeing the assortment Xu Jingyuan brought out, Chu Ge didn't act coy. With a smile, he agreed and walked over to the sofa.

Just as Xu Jingyuan mentioned, on such an important day, he naturally wanted every detail to be as perfect as possible, giving himself and the Qin Family sisters a most precious and unforgettable memory.

Upon hearing Chu Ge's words, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan couldn't help but swoon slightly. All they wanted was to help him with some makeup and hair, but hearing him describe it so dramatically, was it really necessary?

Chu Ge sat between Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan. Just as they were about to start his makeup, footsteps sounded from the doorway. Mu Lingshan and Mu Xiaoting appeared, peeking inside before Mu Lingshan teasingly laughed.

"Wow, I thought Tingting and I were already early, but it seems someone beat us to it. Our groom today is very lucky, isn't he?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Not bad, not bad. I just have a good rapport with people, can't help it. Why don't you both come in and sit? No need to close the door, who knows, someone else might pop in."

Mu Lingshan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly at Chu Ge. Her comment was meant to jest with him, but it seemed Chu Ge was unmoved. But then again, she knew all too well just how thick-skinned this guy could be.

Mu Xiaoting was also carrying a makeup bag. Like Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, she was here to help Chu Ge with his makeup, ensuring he looked dashing on this special day.

She remembered everything Chu Ge had done for her when she was kidnapped. This man exuded a unique charm, a blend of good and bad that was hard to describe in words.

Even though she knew the chances of anything happening between her and Chu Ge were slim, this charm was like a beacon of light in the endless darkness, irresistibly pulling her in, making her desire to see what beautiful place that light led to.

This man's thoughts were elusive to her; his character was beyond her control. Nonetheless, she felt she could at least do something for him, like doing his makeup on the most important day of his life.

At least when Chu Ge looked back on his wedding day, he'd remember a girl named Mu Xiaoting.

This was what Mu Xiaoting thought as she gathered the courage to do it, only to be sidetracked by someone else taking the initiative. Her heart filled with disappointment and grievance, yet she could only muster a forced smile.

What else could she do? Ruin the mood on such a day?

Haha, well, that would certainly make Chu Ge remember her, but definitely not in the way she hoped.

As Mu Xiaoting was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a voice of slight disbelief, "Is that Grenish?"

Startled by the voice, Mu Xiaoting turned toward the source, only to find Chen Jiatong staring at her makeup bag with a hint of surprise.

"Tingting, is that makeup bag from Grenish? Don't tell me the makeup inside is also Grenish?"

Mu Xiaoting hadn't expected Chen Jiatong to recognize this world-renowned yet little-known brand. She paused for a moment before nodding, softly responding with an "Mm."

"Wow, Tingting, you really go big! Let me worship you for a moment. This brand can't even be bought domestically; I've only heard about it from a senior. I never expected to see it in your hands today."

With that, Chen Jiatong sprang up from the sofa, darting over to Mu Xiaoting's side, her eyes fixed intently on the makeup bag.

A second later, Xu Jingyuan also abandoned Chu Ge, joining Chen Jiatong beside Mu Xiaoting. When Mu Xiaoting opened the makeup bag, their eyes lit up even more, "Wow, it's all exclusively men's makeup!"

Seeing the two women's intense reaction, Chu Ge was speechless. Hadn't they promised to help him with his makeup? Why were they getting so excited over a makeup bag? Was it necessary?

"I mean, aren't you two... shouldn't you hurry over and fix me up? I've still got to pick up the bride later."

Chu Ge turned his head and muttered helplessly. Chen Jiatong shook her head with a smile, "Originally, I thought the stuff Yanyuan and I brought was pretty good, but compared to Tingting's, ours can't even compare. So yeah, let's leave it to Tingting."

Mu Xiaoting was taken aback, then immense joy welled up in her heart.
