Within time, the days flew by and it was the day for Beauty"s winter photo shoot. During this shoot, models who were invited are gathered to take photos and wear all the prestige designer brands.
"Oh, I can"t wait to wear the clothes from De L"amour. An Qing must have done a great job to launch De L"amour to it"s highest!"
A model spoke as she sat while a hair dresser style her hair. Hearing the words, the hair dresser smiles and continue her work.
"Not only that, An Qing"s CEO will be here. I"ve never met her, but I know she"s a real beauty."
"Really? That"s even better!!"
As the model and hair dresser continue into their conversation, they didn"t notice the murderous aura emitting from the model sitting two seats away.
"Miss Ning?"
Hearing her name, Ning Mei quickly looks up the makeup artist. She hides her facade with a sweet smile.
"Sorry, please continue."
The makeup artist stare at Ning Mei. She couldn"t help but think if it was her imagination when she saw this model"s dark expression. Not thinking much, she continues with the makeup.
"You look very beautiful Miss Ning. Just a few more touches and you"ll be done."
"Make sure you don"t make any mistakes. Hurry up."
"Yes, Miss Ning."
Ning Mei closed her eyes and let the makeup artist do her job. She also couldn"t wait to show all the models here who"s the best. Only she is worthy to wear all the prestige brands and have her picture on the cover of Beauty"s winter magazine. Once she settles this deal, it will bring her into the top ten ranking of models.
She"s one step closer to overthrowing Yue Ling from the world. After she becomes number one in ranking, everyone will forget the s.l.u.ts name. She hates how Yue Ling has already retired from modeling, but her name is still ranked above the rest. Everyone still sees her as the number one model and beauty in Asia.
"Done."
The makeup artist exclaim happily. She turn the swivel chair around. The moment Ning Mei open her eyes, she was taken by surprise. Seeing her flawless face and makeup in the mirror, she smiles.
She sneers inside, "now this is how a model should look like". Quickly standing up, she leaves the makeup room and heads to the dressing room to change.
"....."
The makeup artist couldn"t help but sigh. She knows she is a lowly makeup artist, but she is still human too. A mere thank you would have been nice.
Shaking her head, she starts to pack her makeup suitcase. Ning Mei was her last model, so her s.h.i.+ft is done here.
*knock knock*
"Excuse me, can you fit me into your schedule?"
"No, my s.h.i.+ft is—" the makeup artist puts her brushes away, but the moment she turn to look at the owner of the voice. She was dumbfounded. Seeing the tall and beautiful woman. Her eyes widen and she almost lost her balance.
Like she had suddenly recharged herself, she smiles widely.
"Yes! I can fit you into my schedule! Definitely!"
She quickly answers in joy. Even if Ning Mei had made her s.h.i.+ft gloomy, she didn"t care. The her at this moment is even more luckier!
"Thank you."
The woman smiles and walks over to the seat. Just when she was about to sit down, the make artist stops her.
"Oh, please wait a second."
She grabs a duster and dust the chair, then she place a sheet over the seat. Her movements were like a maid preparing for her queen. Not wanting her queen to be contaminated by unnecessary things.
"Okay. Miss Han, you can sit now."
Yue Ling looked at the makeup artist and she didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. She smiles and takes a seat.
"Su Wenli, I said before, no need for formalities. Just call me Han Yue Ling."
Su Wenli blushed. She loves her job when the model she"s working with is Han Yue Ling. Even though the model is ranked one and at another level, she still treats everyone the same. Whether you are a custodian or an errand boy, she will treat you with pure generosity.
Putting her makeup products back on the table, she suddenly thought of something. With a foundation brush in her hand, she looks at Yue Ling.
"Miss Han... I mean.. Han Yue Ling, are you also a model for the photo shoot?"
"Mm."
Hearing the answer, Su Wenli frown in confusion. She starts applying makeup on Yue Ling.
"If you don"t mind me asking, but.... didn"t you retire from the modeling industry?"
Yue Ling had her eyes closed, but hearing the girl"s question, she opened her eyes. Not too slow and not too fast.
"I"m here in request of CEO Wu."
"Oh...."
Su Wenli nod her head in understanding. Just when she was about to apply eyeliner on Yue Ling, her eyes widen in realization. She sucks in mouthful of air.
"Haaa— you mean...."
Yue Ling smiles at the girl and nod her head, "It"s a secret though."
"Mm. Mm." Su Wenli nods her head multiple times. Just how shocked will all the other models be? Everyone knows that Han Yue Ling has been on the front cover of all Beauty"s magazine since she started her career. Not only that, she was the one who helped Beauty reached it"s peak.
She had tons of questions she wanted to ask, but knowing that it was almost time for the phototshoot, she kept quiet.
Her hands work their cosmetic skills on her favorite model. She will definitely make Han Yue Ling the most outstanding, even though she already is.
Yue Ling, who was oblivious to Su Wenli"s thoughts, waited patiently. She didn"t want to take the role as Beauty"s front cover model, because she wanted to give the chance to another model. There were many models who fit the role perfectly.
However, she changed her mind because of Ning Mei and An Qing. She wants to use this photo shoot as a starting step to slap Ning Mei"s face. And of course, the fas.h.i.+on show will be for An Qing.
"Han Yue Ling, I heard that An Qing"s CEO is also here. However, the strange thing is, she didn"t bring anything from De L"amour, but her own designs specifically from An Qing."
Yue Ling arch a brow, "So, she"s here too."
"Hm? What was that?"
"It"s nothing."

While Yue Ling was getting ready for Beauty"s winter photo shoot, the King of Jealousy was currently at the Lu Household. His handsome expression gloomy and murderous.
Lu Han glance at his older brother and he felt even more nervous. Earlier, when he step foot inside the Lu Household, he swore a blizzard welcomed him. It probably even blew his soul back to his own place and sucked him back here.
Just who made his older brother angry? Do they not know the consequences of offending the cold and ruthless king?
Although, he does want to know who made his brother mad. He loves watching people fall when they mess with the wrong person. Taking a big giant gulp, he asks his brother.
"Bro... you alright?"
