‘The second Mrs. Huo?’
When the butler heard the makeup artist’s words, he felt they were a little strange. It was as though his master had married a second wife. After a moment, he said, “Your client is the second madam.”
Although Lin Xiaowan had yet to marry into the family, the butler was confident that it was just a matter of time before it happened.
The makeup artist could not help but feel excited upon hearing these words. It was as though he had just heard a huge gossip.
For an aristocratic family like the Huo family, even if the media was not invited to the wedding, the family would generally release an announcement. There was no announcement so far, but it was clear that the Huo family acknowledged this new young madam.
With this thought in mind, the makeup artist could not wait to meet Lin Xiaowan, wondering what kind of woman she was. When he thought about how aloof, serious, and even a little fierce Huo Zheng looked in public, he could not help but wonder what kind of woman could steal the heart of such a person.
‘Is she a sexy and mature woman? The Second Young Master of the Huo family is extraordinary, and his aura alone makes those who stand next to him pale in comparison. His wife must be just like him, right?’
Finally, the butler stopped in front of a door and said, “I’ll send two people up to assist you after this, Mr. Lu.”
The makeup artist was pulled back to his senses and quickly said, “Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.”
In fact, the makeup artist had an assistant. However, seeing that he had nothing to do today, he gave his assistant a break. He did not expect Qiao You’an to call not long after his assistant left. Qiao You’an was aware that he did not have his assistant with him today so she must have arranged this for him.
The makeup artist walked past two rows of display cabinets and turned a corner before he saw the person in the dressing room. He was briefly stunned as he thought to himself, ‘Ah, she’s not an aloof and sexy beauty… Standing next to Second Young Master Huo, they must look like Beauty and the Beast. No, no, no, what am I saying? Second Young Master Huo is so handsome. How is he like the Beast!’
While all these thoughts appeared in the makeup artist’s mind, Lin Xiaowan stood up and waved at him as she said, “Hello.”
Lin Xiaowan expected the makeup artist to be a young woman. Who knew it would be a handsome young man?
After exchanging greetings, the duo began to chat. The makeup artist had a good personality and was very good at making small talk. He very quickly made Lin Xiaowan feel comfortable.
When the two servants from the Huo family arrived, the makeup artist got to work as well. As he applied skincare for Lin Xiaowan, he asked, “Miss Lin, do you have any idea about what kind of makeup you want today?”
Lin Xiaowan was not very knowledgeable in this regard. Upon hearing the other party’s words, she shook her head in confusion, indicating she did not have any idea.
“Then, can I have a look at what you’re planning to wear tonight?” the makeup artist asked. He wanted to make sure that the makeup would complement the dress.
Lin Xiaowan was currently dressed in two-piece pajamas with strawberry and bear prints, which looked very childish. She pointed at the feather dress and white shawl that were hanging on the rack and said, “I’m wearing that.”
At this time, Lin Xiaowan remembered she had yet to pick out her shoes so she said, “I have yet to choose my shoes. If you have time, can you help me take a look?”
The makeup artist’s style was very good. With just a look, Lin Xiaowan knew that he had a good sense of style and would be able to help her with her shoes.
The makeup artist naturally did not have any objections. In fact, when he had spoken to Qiao You’an earlier, she had also asked him to help Lin Xiaowan choose her accessories. At the same time, he could not help but feel a little excited as well. The cost of the clothes, accessories, bags, and shoes here likely added up to eight digits.
While the makeup artist applied powder on Lin Xiaowan’s face, he said, filled with praise, “Miss Lin, your skin is really good. I’m not exaggerating at all. I’ve done the makeup of female celebrities, but their skin really can’t compare to yours.”
Lin Xiaowan was embarrassed when she heard these words, but she also felt secretly happy. She said modestly, “Whether their skin is good or not, they’re all very beautiful. The entertainment industry is filled with many beautiful women.”
The makeup artist said jokingly, “That’s not always the case. Some are really beautiful, but some are fake…”
To put it more bluntly, some were natural beauty while some obtained their beauty through plastic surgery.
Lin Xiaowan only chuckled in response. She felt that if she continued on the topic, it would take a strange turn. As such, she did not say anything else.
The makeup artist applied natural makeup for Lin Xiaowan. One could hardly see the makeup on her face, but her eyes, nose, lips, and even her jawline looked even more exquisite. Although she did not look drop-dead gorgeous, she looked very pleasing to the eye. She looked like the sweet girl next door.
Lin Xiaowan was very pleased with the makeup. She still looked the same, but her features were more enhanced and eye-catching. Ever since she was discharged from the hospital, she felt that she looked pale and sickly, but now, she felt that she looked very energetic.
The makeup artist looked at Lin Xiaowan carefully and asked with a smile, “What do you think? My skills are not bad, right?”
The makeup artist was also very satisfied with his work. Lin Xiaowan had a very good foundation to begin with, and all he needed to do was enhance her features.
Lin Xiaowan nodded excitedly as her eyes shone with admiration. “Yes! I really like it! It looks great! You’re really amazing!”
The makeup artist truly felt like pinching Lin Xiaowan’s cheeks at this moment. She looked extremely cute, and her cheeks were so soft. In fact, while he was applying makeup for her, he had to resist this urge as well.
‘Huo Zheng is really lucky to have her. He’s already so old, but he manages to find such a cute young woman…’ the makeup artist thought to himself. However, in the next moment, he apologized inwardly to Huo Zheng again.
The makeup artist knew that Huo Zheng and Huo Cheng were about seven or eight years apart. However, perhaps it was due to his domineering aura, most people assumed he was about the same age as his brother.
Now that the makeup was done, it was time to do Lin Xiaowan’s hair. However, she had to change into her dress first before she got her hair done.
The servant silently pushed the large clothing rack into the changing room to help Lin Xiaowan change, but it did not take long for a red-faced Lin Xiaowan to chase the servant out.
The servants of the Huo family were very meticulous. As soon as she entered the changing room, she reached out to help Lin Xiaowan remove her pajamas. Needless to say, Lin Xiaowan was not going to strip naked in front of a stranger.
After she was chased out, the servant stifled her laughter and said, “Second Young Madam, please let me know if you need anything. I’ll be waiting outside.”
When Lin Xiaowan finally came out after changing, she looked at the servant in embarrassment. Then, she hugged the shawl close to her chest before she went to look for the makeup artist. She could not help but feel excited after changing into the dress..
