Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 307: The Lipstick Was Eaten Clean Off
Natalie Vaughn met Zane Thorne’s teasing gaze, didn’t have time to worry about his boldness, and raised her leg to run to the next room.
The livestream had already started, and it was time for her to connect with it. Natalie casually wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Once she connected, the phone screen was immediately flooded with comments, and a shower of virtual gifts.
Natalie was dazzled, and it was her turn to greet the livestream audience.
"Good evening, darlings, I’m Natalie Vaughn, the actress of Logan Shaw. Thank you for the warm welcome. No need to send gifts, don’t spend your money, darlings." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Natalie handled it with ease. Compared to other newcomers, her natural composure surpassed even Julian Sutton, the famous actor.
A string of comments flooded in.
"The lady is so beautiful!"
"The lady is so domineering!"
"Finally, we’ve been waiting for the lady to appear!"
"When will the lady come back to the entertainment industry for fun?"
"The lady’s Weibo is about to grow weeds, hurry up and get active!"
"What lipstick shade is the lady wearing! Please recommend! It looks so good!"
"..."
Among the many comments, Natalie spotted the cute one asking about her lipstick shade. She picked up the lipstick to show it but didn’t even have time to speak before there was another rush of comments.
"It’s enough for the lady to just say it! No need to show it!"
Natalie wasn’t quite familiar with the rules of livestreaming. With no staff around, she had to rely on herself and was reminded via WeChat.
By looking at the comments, Natalie realized that such livestreams couldn’t be used for promotions.
She glanced at the lipstick and casually put it aside. The confusion in her eyes revealed her lack of understanding, typical of someone wealthy.
The audience was very amused, directly urging certain lipstick brands to approach Natalie for collaboration.
Natalie eventually just mentioned the shade verbally. Everyone was so enamored with her beauty that they didn’t notice the shade she mentioned was entirely different from the current color on her lips.
Soon, a host stepped in to control the pace, but fans, having not seen Natalie for so long, were a bit unruly. This could easily have drawn the ire of casual viewers and other fans, but thanks to Natalie’s charming face, it didn’t cause much trouble.
Natalie saw the host struggling and quickly spoke up.
"Darlings, calm down, I’m here for the whole hour, let’s follow the host’s schedule."
As soon as she said this, the comments were once again uniformly well-behaved.
Natalie reviewed the schedule and knew the main focus was on the leads, so she couldn’t steal the spotlight. When the host cued others, she picked up another phone to check the situation.
What she saw was quite unexpected.
Zoe Chandler had sent a long stream of messages.
Natalie quickly skimmed through them, her brow gradually furrowing as she touched her lips.
Zoe pointed out that the color of her lips was completely different from the lipstick shade she mentioned, which could cause misunderstandings.
Whether this misunderstanding would escalate depended entirely on the brand’s perspective.
Natalie wasn’t worried about the brand; she was thinking about how harsh Zane Thorne’s kiss was a moment ago, completely wiping off her lipstick.
Zoe squatted in the livestream room, noticing that Natalie, though looking at her phone, wasn’t responding to her messages, and frowned.
She sent another message.
"??? Did you see it? What shade did you actually use? Tell me so I can be prepared."
Natalie snapped back to reality and messaged Zoe.
Natalie: "I did use the shade I mentioned earlier."
Zoe: "Are you sure? Look carefully at the color difference; even the blind can tell they’re not the same."
Natalie: "I haven’t finished talking yet. I did start with that shade."
Zoe: "And then?"
Natalie: "Oh, I went to find Zane Thorne, and he kissed it all off."
Zoe: "???????"
Natalie: "Don’t get it? You need to find a man to spice up your life."
Zoe: "???????"
Natalie slightly raised her brows, just about to type when Zoe messaged again.
Zoe: "So you didn’t put on anything else?"
Natalie: "Right."
Zoe: "But this doesn’t match your lip color either? Was President Thorne’s kiss so intense? It even brought color to your cheeks."
Natalie couldn’t help but chuckle.
This chuckle, even with the mic off, caught a lot of attention. Julian Sutton even directly cued Natalie.
"What’s Lady Shaw looking at? So engrossed?"
The nickname Lady Shaw was how the lead male character played by Julian Sutton in the show addressed Natalie, and even after six months, Natalie still reacted when she heard it.
She looked up precisely at Julian Sutton on the screen.
It had been several months since they last met, and Julian Sutton had cut his hair shorter, losing some of the gentle charm.
She hadn’t paid much attention to entertainment news but had Julian Sutton’s WeChat friend updates, so she knew his recent activities.
Recently, he was filming a movie playing a psychopathic killer.
Natalie put down her phone.
"I think Actor Sutton has become more menacing recently, even scarier than in the show."
The subtle use of "even" was quite clever.
Julian quickly caught onto what Natalie meant, thankful she didn’t make it explicit, as that would have violated livestream norms.
"You’ve been abroad too long. It’s normal to feel unfamiliar after not seeing each other for so long."
This sentence successfully shifted the focus back to Natalie.
Many were eager to know what Natalie had been up to.
Natalie understood that Julian was tired of the questions, deliberately shifting the limelight.
Well, she’d remember this favor.
She was in a good mood, responding to the host’s questions and some fans’ comments as much as she could.
Zoe must have given a heads-up, so the host dared not ask Natalie any excessive questions.
Soon the format shifted to sharing personal tidbits.
Natalie’s marriage was no secret in the industry, and she openly shared about painting each other with Zane Thorne by Lake Vesperia.
Her mind was filled with that memory.
This was Natalie’s first time publicly displaying affection since she and Zane announced their relationship on Weibo, causing the livestream views to soar, almost causing a malfunction.
Everyone demanded to see the painting Natalie did of Zane Thorne.
They were all curious about the man who Natalie often mentioned.
"Miss, we want to see the mister!"
Comments like this filled the screen.
Natalie saw them clearly but shook her head.
"No way, my man isn’t willing to let you see him."
Another dose of PDA.
Fans, settling for the next best thing, wanted to see how Zane Thorne painted Natalie.
Natalie thought for a moment and figured it wasn’t a big deal.
"Alright, hang on a sec, I’ll go grab it now."
Having said that, Natalie stood up, and as she opened the door, there was Zane standing outside, freshly showered after a workout.
Seeing Natalie, he raised an eyebrow.
"All done?"
His voice wasn’t loud, but with the door open and the small town being so quiet, this sentence was clearly picked up by the phone.
The livestream room exploded.
