Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 767: Pain in Your Heart 7

Seeing no reaction from her, Gu Beicheng curled his lips slightly, his face getting closer by a few inches.

For this little girl who couldn’t even recognize her own man, he really wanted to give her a good punishment.

His long fingers rested on her thin lips, tracing an arc along her lips with his fingertips.

Xia Yinian’s body trembled slightly, followed by a frown.

The Cosmetic Group held the event in high regard, and the makeup artist they hired seemed very professional.

It was precisely because of his professionalism that any refusal or reminder she wanted to give was impossible to voice or act upon.

The pads of Beicheng’s fingers purposely lingered at her brow, gently massaging it.

Knowing that she was causing trouble for someone else, Yinian took a deep breath and relaxed her furrowed brow.

"I’m very sorry!" she whispered.

"Are you very nervous?" a cheerful voice rained down.

It seemed to be the first thing he had said since he had entered.

Xia Yinian felt as if she were possessed, having just thought his face resembled Uncle, and now she even found his voice similar!

But when had Uncle ever spoken with such brightness? She didn’t even want to think about it!

Was it because she was so obsessed with this man that she constantly had him on her mind? She really was cursed!

"No, it’s just that you’re a bit too close, and I’m not quite used to it," Yinian replied softly.

Since he had asked, she wouldn’t be foolish enough not to respond.

If only he could keep a bit more distance from her, that would be best.

However, getting makeup done this rigorously was truly a first for her—no, not just a first, but the first time with a male makeup artist.

This feeling was completely different from that with a female makeup artist.

With a female makeup artist, all she had to do was close her eyes quietly, no matter how they fussed over her.

But now, it was a man... and to put it simply, just a little too close, and she would feel very uncomfortable.

Yet, while feeling uncomfortable, she also found him oddly familiar, oddly... longing for closeness.

It was maddening, like some sort of psychosis, so keeping her distance was the best option!

"Makeup is usually like this, you should know that," the man curled his lips again, his palm brushing across the girl’s cheek.

"Your skin is the best I’ve ever seen," he continued without waiting for Xia Yinian to speak, "And... you are very beautiful."

"Don’t doubt my gaze, my eyes are very professional, and certainly don’t doubt my intentions. You know, in our industry, it’s imperative to be professional."

"In the eyes of a makeup artist, the person before them is but a prop... sorry, that may sound a bit harsh. I only want to make it clear to you, in the eyes of a makeup artist, there really isn’t any difference between men and women."

"I... I understand," Yinian nodded reluctantly.

Just like how in the eyes of a doctor there’s only a patient, irrespective of gender, right?

It’s just that he was really too close, it felt... so strange.

Seeing her nervous look, Gu Beicheng felt somewhat more at ease.

"Don’t be nervous, relax a little, I’ll start doing your makeup now."

Not intending to let her realize his identity so soon, Gu Beicheng could only suppress his impulses.

Just now, Xia Yinian had almost resisted, but when she slightly opened her eyes, all she saw was the makeup artist’s earnest figure from behind.

He was mixing the medicine, with no intention of teasing her.

Yinian pursed her lips, repressing thoughts she shouldn’t entertain.

With only two people here, it was normal for him to strike up some conversation.

If she couldn’t even handle a bit of contact, she was really being a bit too prudish.
