The makeup artist’s eyes lit up when he saw Lin Xiaowan. He finally understood why Qiao You’an had called Lin Xiaowan ‘the Swan Princess’ earlier. The dress was very suitable for Lin Xiaowan. At the same time, he regretted applying natural makeup for Lin Xiaowan. He thought he should have made her look more haughty or cold. Nonetheless, she still looked very good like this.
“Did the shawl come with the dress?” the makeup artist asked.
Lin Xiaowan shook her head and removed the shawl to show it to the makeup artist as she said, “No. It belongs to Sister You’an. Doesn’t it look good with the dress?”
The makeup artist nodded. The combination of the shawl and dress looked better than he had expected. After a moment, he gestured to Lin Xiaowan to take a seat as he said, “Sit down. I’m going to make a little change to your makeup.”
He thought that no one would be able to stop him from making Lin Xiaowan look like a noble Swan Princess today.
The changes were very small and were limited to her eyes, eyebrows, and lips.
As Lin Xiaowan stared at herself in the mirror, the makeup artist, who felt even more satisfied, asked eagerly, “What do you think? What do you think? Can you see the difference?”
“Yes,” Lin Xiaowan said with a nod. She looked straight ahead before she added, “I usually look at people like this…”
Then, she raised her chin slightly before she continued, “However, with this makeup, I should look at people like this…”
“That’s right! You look like a noble princess now so you should look a little more arrogant and aloof!”
Lin Xiaowan chuckled. “You’re really excited.”
The makeup artist laughed. “You’re just really very suitable for this kind of makeup. I’m really amazed. Moreover, your temperament is good as well. Although your aura is a little weak, it’s okay. I deliberately chose a lipstick that’ll help with that.”
After that, the makeup artist began to work on Lin Xiaowan’s hair.
Although Lin Xiaowan’s hair had grown longer, it was still difficult to tie it up high. Initially, the makeup artist wanted to tie her hair up into a bun. However, after realizing how difficult it was, he decided to curl her hair instead. After that, he helped her put on a few silver ornaments with pearls in the shapes of leaves of different sizes. After he was done, he said, looking slightly regretful, “It would be even better if you wore a tiara…”
“I think it already looks very good,” Lin Xiaowan said, feeling extremely satisfied. She could not suppress the smile on her face at all.
Subsequently, the makeup artist selected a pair of crystal carrings, a red agate necklace, and a pair of silver heels with tassels.
Lin Xiaowan really liked how everything turned out. She even got someone to take a few photos for her before sending them to Huo Zheng.
The makeup artist had taken a taxi here. As such, when Lin Xiaowan was going to look for Gu Yuwu, she gave him a ride as well.
During the journey, the makeup artist found out that Lin Xiaowan was attending the celebrity gala tonight. He asked, “Miss Lin, are you preparing to debut? I’m sure you’ll be extremely popular if you decide to enter the entertainment industry!”
Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “No, I’m accompanying Gu Yuwu.”
The makeup artist did not know Gu Yuwu, but he had heard of Gu Yuwu. He also knew how high her status was in the entertainment industry.
When Lin Xiaowan picked Gu Yuwu up, the makeup artist had already left.
Gu Yuwu’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw Lin Xiaowan. She exclaimed, “Who are you? Why are you so beautiful?”
Lin Xiaowan blushed upon hearing Gu Yuwu’s words. She hurriedly said, “You’re beautiful as well. However, you’ve always looked beautiful anyway. You’re just like a fairy who descended to the mortal world.”
“Look at how sweet you are!”
Gu Yuwu’s figure was extremely good. She was currently dressed in a tight red dress that made her look very graceful. Her waist was small, and her hair was in loose waves. She wore a pair of black high heels. All in all, she looked extremely sexy.
Lin Xiaowan genuinely thought that Gu Yuwu looked great.
When they arrived, the red carpet session was still ongoing.
The car drove directly to the entrance.
After getting out of the car, Gu Yuwu held Lin Xiaowan’s hand and led her up the long flight of stairs at the entrance. She squeezed Lin Xiaowan’s hand and said, “Your hand is so cute and meaty, I can’t help squeezing it.”
Lin Xiaowan smiled. Her hands were small and her fingers were short. Qiao You’an had also previously commented that her hands were like that of a child. She had always been dissatisfied with her hands. When her gaze fell on the hand that was holding hers, she saw how slender and soft it was. She said a little enviously, “I like your hands. My hands don’t look good at all in photos.”
Gu Yuwu said with a laugh, “Don’t worry. I’ll take a photo for you next time, and I guarantee that you’ll like it!”
After entering the venue, Gu Yuwu bypassed the screen broadcasting the situation and led Lin Xiaowan to the side room before she handed Lin Xiaowan a cup of hot lemon tea. She said, “Try it. There’s no sugar so it might not taste good. If you don’t like it, you can warm your hands with it first while I look for something else for you.”
Lin Xiaowan held the cup with both hands and carefully took a sip. It was a little hot, but the taste was fine. The lemon was a little sour, but the fragrance of the tea leaves made it easy to drink. Finally, she said, “It’s good.”
Subsequently, Gu Yuwu led Lin Xiaowan to the side and sat down before she said, “After the red carpet session is over, we’ll sit in the front row. You’ll be able to see the stage clearly. The seats there aren’t as comfortable as these ones so we’ll go over later.”
After a moment, Gu Yuwu added, “There are snacks here. Do you want some?”
The event would last for quite a while so the organizer had prepared some food. However, most celebrities had to maintain their figures and would eat as little as possible. As such, they barely touched the food. Even if they were hungry, they would still have to endure it.
The number of people gradually increased, but there were not many celebrities in the side room. Most of the people in the side room were assistants or staff members.
Most people knew Gu Yuwu, and when they saw her, they would greet her politely.
Gu Yuwu responded to the greetings curtly as she handed Lin Xiaowan some butter cookies.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan, who was next to Gu Yuwu, watched silently. She felt that she had a new understanding of Gu Yuwu now.
“So many people know you…”
Gu Yuwu said with a smile, “I have a lot of resources in the entertainment industry after all. It’s only normal for them to greet me for the sake of their artistes. In fact, I don’t know them very well.”
Lin Xiaowan understood Gu Yuwu’s words. It was nothing more than networking. She turned her attention to the screen in the side room that broadcasted the situation outside. As she watched, she chatted with Gu Yuwu. When a male celebrity appeared, she told Gu Yuwu that she had watched all of his movies.
“You like his movies? We can take a photo with him later. I’ll bring you there.
There’s no need to feel embarrassed..”
