At 7: 30 pm, Zhang Yunxi and Miyako arrived home on time.
That was the time Ye Lingchen set for Y Cosmetics. It would open at 7 am and end at 7 pm. Otherwise, based on Zhang Yunxi's personality, it was entirely possible that she would drag it out until after 10 pm.
Since it was a cosmetic store, it was only natural that there would be more customers during the day. After all, most of them would come out to meet customers during the day. Of course, there were also many women who would put on their makeup at night. As for what those women did at night, it was needless to say.
Ye Lingchen would naturally not do that part of the business.
As soon as she arrived home, Zhang Yunxi's body trembled as she smelled the fragrance in the house. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Lingchen, you're finally back!"
Zhang Yunxi rushed into the kitchen and hugged Ye Lingchen tightly from behind. She wanted nothing more than to melt into him.
During that period of time, she had been hearing news about Ye Lingchen all the time. The more the news, the more worried she became, especially when she saw Ye Lingchen fighting with the giant python in the live broadcast. Although she knew that Ye Lingchen was fine, she still could not sleep for the entire night.
"Lingchen, you really scared me to death! Don't do something so dangerous next time, "Zhang Yunxi cried while pounding on Ye Lingchen's back, complaining incessantly.
"Are you hurt? Turn around and let me have a look. "Zhang Yunxi nervously looked at Ye Lingchen's body.
Ye Lingchen looked at Zhang Yunxi. Her beautiful face was filled with nervousness and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Her delicate little hands were still helping him tidy up his clothes, which warmed his heart.
He could not help but lower his head and kiss her.
The public display of affection and a long French kiss caused Miyako's entire body to freeze. Her delicate body trembled slightly as she ate a lot of dog food. She could not help but think of a Chinese idiom that she recently learned, 'Don't tell the truth when you're in a difficult situation'.
Ye Lingchen's cooking went without saying, making Zhang Yunxi extremely satisfied. In the beginning, she still wanted to maintain her image, but she forgot herself in the end and ended up eating grease all over her mouth. Miyako was not much better. Although she was not happy being Ye Lingchen's maid, to be able to eat such delicacies occasionally was definitely a dream come true for countless people.
After eating and drinking their fill, Miyako was arranged to wash the dishes, leaving Ye Lingchen and Zhang Yunxi on the sofa, lovey-dovey and lovey-dovey as if no one else was around.
"By the way, Lingchen, Y Cosmetics has encountered a problem recently," Zhang Yunxi finally recalled the main topic after the two of them cuddled for a while.
"What happened?"
"Do you remember that you promised to draw one lucky customer a month? Now that a month has passed, the lucky customer has already been born on Weibo, "Zhang Yunxi said.
"It's already been a month?" Ye Lingchen clicked his tongue, then smiled and said, "I thought it was something serious. Isn't it just makeup? It won't take much effort. "
Zhang Yunxi pursed her lips. After a moment of hesitation, she frowned and said, "This person … is a little different from the others."
"Different?" Ye Lingchen raised his brows slightly. "Could it be that this person is extremely ugly?"
Zhang Yunxi rolled her eyes at Ye Lingchen, then said after a pause, "Not really, but the situation is more or less the same as what you said. I went out of my way to find her photo."
Looking at the photo, Ye Lingchen's face showed a look of realization.
The girl in the photo looked to be in her twenties. She should be at the age of youth and beauty, but there was a bright red scar on the left side of her face!
The scar was located in the center of her cheek, extending to the corner of her eye. It was a ghastly sight.
With just one look, Ye Lingchen was certain that it was a burn mark!
That kind of scar could be considered fatal to a woman. It could be described as disfigurement.
From the other half of her face that was still intact, it was not difficult to deduce that the woman's appearance before she was disfigured. She was definitely at the level of a goddess. From heaven to hell, it was no wonder that the woman's eyes were filled with death and despair.
"Her name is Qiao Shanshan. She's an actress by profession and can be considered an A-list celebrity. However, not long ago, a fire broke out on the set of a film. Although she managed to escape, half of her face was destroyed."
Zhang Yunxi's voice was filled with regret. As a woman, she understood the importance of a woman's appearance. If she were to be disfigured, she would never be able to face Ye Lingchen again. That would be worse than killing her.
"There are rumors on the internet that she was burned because she was trying to save her best friend. Unfortunately, her best friend has always denied this. Due to her disfigurement, her acting career is probably over. I think even her boyfriend broke up with her."
The matter was simple and melodramatic. However, it had to be said that it was tragic, extremely tragic.
It was no wonder that the woman's eyes were filled with despair. After experiencing that kind of despair, it would be difficult for anyone to see hope.
"Is she the one who was chosen?" Ye Lingchen asked calmly.
Zhang Yunxi nodded. "She came to our cosmetic store a few times. Unfortunately, we couldn't help her cover up her scars. I didn't expect to be chosen because she's a celebrity. Therefore, the news of her becoming a lucky customer was instantly known by many people. It's all over the internet now."
She looked at Ye Lingchen, wanting to say something but hesitating.
However, Ye Lingchen had already guessed what she wanted to say. He smiled and said, "Are there a lot of people waiting to see us make a fool out of ourselves?"
Zhang Yunxi nodded. Y Cosmetics' reputation was huge, surpassing its peers. Now that they were faced with such a difficult problem, it was only natural for many people to applaud.
That kind of scars could not be covered up no matter how much makeup was applied. Ye Lingchen's previous makeup skills caused a stir on the internet. Everyone was waiting for him to make a move again. If he failed this time, it would be a huge stain on their reputation. Their reputation would be ruined!
"Lingchen, if we really can't do it, why don't we … reject it?" Zhang Yunxi said weakly.
"Hehe, you don't trust me that much?" Ye Lingchen smiled at Zhang Yunxi, then said casually, "It's just a small matter. Wait for me tomorrow."
After a pause, he picked up Zhang Yunxi with a smirk. "As for today, every minute of the night is worth a thousand gold. Let's hurry upstairs …"
…
Time passed slowly. Under the deep night sky, two figures snuck into Hill Spring Residences without a sound, heading straight for Ye Lingchen's residence.
"Big Brother, is this where the kid named Ye Lingchen lives?" One of them asked in a low voice.
"The intel is definitely correct!" The other person's voice was hoarse. "Let's make it quick. Kidnap him and run! We must be quick! "
"To deal with a kid, we're mobilizing people from Earth's Gate. Making a mountain out of a molehill!"
"What do you know? This kid is a technological genius. He's worth a hundred times more than you!" The big brother snorted. "Don't say anymore. Stay hidden!"
"That … Big Brother, it seems like we've been discovered …"
"…"
