Chapter 346 Putting on makeup
Manla didn’t speak out her worries. She handed the cup to Gu Yan and said, “Yan, drink some water. You have shed many tears. You need water to stay hydrated.”
Gu Yan basked in the joy of seeing Xiangyan soon, so she didn’t refuse the water handed by Manla. She picked up the cup and drank slowly.
After that, she felt a wave of drowsiness overpowering her. Gu Yan had suffered numerous physical and mental pressures and blows these days which were hard for a man to bear. Her body was pushed to its limits for she had persisted until now. What’s more, she had experienced great mood swings. It was common for her to felt tired.
Manla helped Gu Yan to the bathroom to wash up and let her go to bed.
Her makeup was massed up because Gu Yan lay down on the sofa when she came back and cried. Not washing up would not only make her have a bad rest, but also do harm to her skin!
Looking at Gu Yan who was sleeping with a smile, as if she dreamed of something happy, Manla sighed and walked out of her bedroom softly.
Manla dialed Mo Yichen’s number and the familiar electronic sound came from her phone. She helplessly put down her phone.
“Mo Yichen, when will you come back? Yan can’t move on without you. If you don’t come back and be with her now, I’m afraid that you will lose her.” Manla thought.
It was a silent night. Gu Yan didn’t wake up until almost noon the next day. She had not had a good rest for several days. She got a good sleep because she got the good news last night that she probably was able to see Xiangyan. Now basically she was full of energy.
When Manla saw Gu Yan wake up, she waved her hand and said, “Yan, come over for lunch. The food is ready. These are all your favorites.”
Gu Yan sat at the table, looking at the abundant food. She was hesitated. She was surprised why Manla was here on a workday. But she quickly understood that Manla must take a day off for caring about her. Manla had prepared the lunch for her. Gu Yan got no reasons to refuse her kindness.
However, Gu Yan felt awkward because actually she wanted to have lunch with Xiangyan.
In fact, Manla could read Gu Yan’s mind because they had known each other for years, so she decided to prepare her mentally. Manla knew exactly that the greater the hope was, the greater the disappointment would be. People would be sadder when they were confronted with great disappointment.
“Yan, I know you want to have lunch with Xiangyan, but do you think you will meet him successfully?”
Gu Yan was confused, “Xiangyan’s teacher knows me, so I’m sure I can see him.”
“But what if Li Yunhong orders his teacher not to let you take Xiangyan away?” Manla said seriously.
Gu Yan got more and more frustrated when she looked at Manla.
Manla knew Gu Yan got the point and continued to say, “Yan, you have to know the reality that if Li Yunhong prevents you from meeting Xiangyan, she will threaten Xiangyan’s teacher with the power of Mo’s family.”
Gu Yan bit her lip and said disappointedly, “So you mean that I can’t see him yet?”
Manla sighed and said, “Now what we should do is to find ways to see Xiangyan as soon as possible before Li Yunhong takes action. It will not last for a long time for you to meet Xiangyan. Li Yunhong will finally know your attempt. When she finds you meet Xiangyan, she will not allow you to see him again. Therefore, you have to go for Xiangyan as soon as possible.”
“I’ll go now.” Gu Yan said in hurry.
She stood up at once and was going to change her clothes but Manla stopped her. Manla took the phone to Gu Yan and said, “Are you sure you want to meet him like this?”
Gu Yan couldn’t believe that the pale-looking woman in the phone was herself.
Although Gu Yan slept well last night, she still got the peak and pine face. However, because of her experience of this period of time and the damage to her body caused by basically not eating anything, it was impossible for her to recover in one night.
Manla said, “Now only food can offer you energy. After that, you need to put on makeup. Otherwise, you will scare Xiangyan. In addition, you have to show him your best looking for the limited time.”
Gu Yan nodded her head helplessly. She agreed with Manla. She couldn’t let Xiangyan see her pale face. It was a hard-won opportunity, so she should cheer up.
After a few bites, Gu Yan started to wolf down the food. These were all her favorite dishes and she had not had a good meal in the past few days. Therefore, she ate very fast.
After finishing the lunch, Gu Yan stared at Manla eagerly and Manla knew what she was thinking. Gu Yan had delicate features and tight skin, so she looked quite pretty without makeup. That was why she didn’t often put on makeup and wasn’t good at it.
Now Gu Yan had to cover her pale face with makeup. It was not easy to her, so she had to ask Manla for help.
Manla rolled her eyes and said, “Come with me. It’s show time.”
Gu Yan smiled obsequiously and followed her closely.
...
Looking at her in the mirror, Gu Yan only saw her cheeks were rosy and delicate. She was not pale and gaunt. Gu Yan couldn’t believe the woman in the mirror was herself.
At this moment, Gu Yan broke her stereotype of makeup. She thought makeup was not essential and never thought makeup could be so magical because she seldom put on makeup. Now she understood why so many girls were obsessed with makeup.
Manla said proudly, “Beauty, I accept your worship, but don’t fall in love with me, okay?”
Gu Yan held fists on hips and said, “Master, please accept my sincere worship.”
Manla pretended to be steady and said, “Okay, all right. I will take you as my student!”
Then they looked at each other and burst into laughing. The oppressive atmosphere suddenly became relaxing.
Then Manla picked out a nice dress for Gu Yan and let her go.
The smile on Manla’s face disappeared as soon as Gu Yan left. She was so worried and said to herself, “Hope everything goes well!”
However, what Manla worried finally happened. Although she had lowered her expectations, Gu Yan hadn’t been able to see Xiangyan.
