Chapter 60 Too Ashamed To Come Out

In the dressing room.

Mu Xia rarely put on makeup, but for the shooting, she had applied a layer of foundation before coming. Yet, she now had to take them all off.

「I should've skipped on the makeup from the start. I could've saved myself some time.」

The makeup artist was carefully removing Mu Xia's makeup, but she accidentally hurt Mu Xia when she was pulling off the fake lashes.

Mu Xia hissed in pain.

Hearing that, the makeup artist paled and began profusely apologizing.

She had done makeup for many kinds of people. If mistakes like these happened, she would generally have to suffer a bout of reprimand. Some with fouler tempers would even demand her to leave immediately.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" The makeup artist was shaking like a leaf.

Mu Xia was the one her higher-ups had reminded her to take good care of, but she had just offended her. 「What if Ye Group won't work with me anymore?」

To her surprise, a gentle voice traveled into her ears in the next moment. "It's fine. You can continue."

The makeup artist stiffened. When she raised her head, she was greeted with the sight of Mu Xia's soft smile. 「She's really not angry with me.」

While the makeup artist was surprised, she also sighed in relief. 「Ms. Xia's definitely earning brownie points from me.」

While she continued to remove Mu Xia's makeup, she grumbled, "Ms. Mu, I've been working with Ye Group for many brands' commercial shooting, but I've never heard of any who has to go on camera without any makeup. I'd say Ms. Sangqi is targeting you."

Mu Xia was not a fool; she knew that. However, she was confident.

Nevertheless, she flashed the other woman a grateful smile. "Thank you, but I think it's better for me to go along with her words."

The makeup artist could only sigh in her mind. 「Mu Xia's a meek little sheep. I feel bad that she's going to have to suffer a lot today.」

Soon, the makeup was all gone.

At that moment, the makeup artist widened her eyes and stammered, "M-M-Ms. Mu, y-you look virtually the same with or without makeup!"

In fact, without makeup, her skin looked even smoother, and her natural blush was visible.

Mu Xia was one of the prettiest bare-faced women the makeup artist had seen.

She finally knew why Mu Xia was silent after Xiao Wei Sangqi asked her to remove her makeup; there was no need for Mu Xia to say anything.

Mu Xia smiled at the makeup artist before she walked toward the outside.

In the meantime, Xiao Wei Sangqi was getting impatient waiting by the doorway of the dressing room.

「Why isn't that ugly woman coming out yet?

Is she too ashamed to come out because she's hideous without makeup?

That must be why.」

Right as those thoughts passed Xiao Wei Sangqi's mind, the door opened.

Excitedly rushing over, a mocking look entered Xiao Wei Sangqi's eyes before she even saw Mu Xia.

However, upon taking in the sight of Mu Xia's face, her eyes widened.

This was a woman loved by god. Her skin was fair, and she had a natural rosy blush. She had a sharp nose that fitted her face perfectly, and her bright eyes seemed to hold a story in them. Moreover, she had a divine figure, and it was as if flowers would sprout where she walked.

Just her face alone could make sure she would live without any worries for money for the rest of her life.

「How can this be?

Where's the ugly monster I'm waiting for?

How can she still be so pretty without makeup?」

Stunned by the scene, Xiao Wei Sangqi's phone fell on the ground with a loud thud.

Right then, she began to shake in anger.

She had been waiting in anticipation outside, but this was not the scene she was waiting for.

The hatred Xiao Wei Sangqi had for her was carving itself in her bones.

When Mu Xia saw Xiao Wei Sangqi's reaction, the corners of her lips tilted upward. However, she was quick to let it drop as she picked up Xiao Wei Sangqi's phone. "Ms. Sangqi, why did you drop your phone?"
