While the makeup artist was putting makeup on her, she couldn't help but sigh: "You have such a good foundation. If you don't look stunning after applying makeup, it would be a big dereliction of duty on my part."
Because the makeup artist just came back from abroad and is a foreigner, it is a bit awkward to speak Chinese.
Mavis couldn't help laughing.
After dressing up, Mavis finally walked out of the room.
Wearing seven-centimeter high heels, she was a little unaccustomed to it, and her walking was a little unsteady, so she could only move a little bit with small steps.
When she came out of the room, the bodyguards standing outside, including Tahara, all stared straight-eyed.
Her golden hair was curled into slight waves, elegantly and charmingly draped over her left shoulder. Her light pink lipstick and curled eyelashes made her look even more like an exquisite Barbie doll.
Ning Chengxu put down the financial weekly in his hand, and a rare flash of surprise flashed through his usually calm blue eyes.
Noticing that several men on the side were still glued to Mavis, he threw out the weekly magazine in his hand.
The sound drew Ta Yuan's gaze away, and Ta Yuan quickly led the others out.
In the living room, Mavis stood nervously in front of Ning Chengxu. His eyes were light and there was no sign of any fluctuation.
For a long time, he didn't say anything. Mavis couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it good-looking?"
Hearing this, Ning Chengxu coughed slightly and touched the tip of his nose unnaturally with his hand, "Not bad. Get ready. We are going to the venue."
Then, he got up to change into the suit and left without looking back.
Mavis watched his figure go away, feeling a little frustrated.
She looked down at the hem of her skirt, the diamonds on it sparkling.
Today, she was dressed up like this, but she could only get a "not bad" from him.
She put away the expression on her face and carefully lifted the hem of her skirt and went out.
The two of them were sitting in a car together, but they didn't exchange much words.
On the way to the venue, Ning Chengxu was still reading company news on his tablet, and Mavis didn't dare to disturb him.
Her eyes fell on him from time to time. Under the high-end suit, he also had simple men's makeup and hair. He was as dignified as a prince in the royal family, cold, sacred, and inviolable.
Soon we arrived at the place where the party was being held. The parking lot was filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Ning Chengxu got out of the car and reached out towards the car. Mavis gently put her hand on his, and they entered the venue together.
Soft music sounded in the banquet hall, and waiters shuttled back and forth in the hall to meet the needs of business elites.
It was the first time for Mavis to attend such a large banquet. She was extremely nervous. Her fingertips were stiff as she held his hand.
Ning Chengxu could feel her nervousness, so he gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her, and whispered in her ear: "Relax, I'll take care of everything."
His voice seemed to have some kind of magic power, and Mavis instantly felt a little safer. When he greeted others, he acted as a smiling pendant next to her.
"Master Xu, it's been a long time no see. The Ning Group is getting better and better now. I hope you can take care of me more in the future."
Ning Chengxu clinked glasses with the visitor and politely replied: "Mr. Lin, you are polite. Mr. Lin and Mr. Ning have always had business dealings. It is right for everyone to look after each other."
The man known as Mr. Lin quickly noticed the female companion next to Ning Chengxu and looked Mavis up and down for a while.
"Master Xu, even his female companion is so beautiful, it's really enviable."
The man's eyes kept wandering over his body, as if looking at a piece of merchandise, which made Mavis feel a little uncomfortable.
