Chapter 141: Chapter 139 Mr. Chen, Kiss Me
Coming out of the Chanel store, Wen Shulin keenly sensed Xiao Meier’s hesitation.
She approached and asked softly, "Xiao Er, do you feel that Mr. Chen is spending too much on you and feel a bit heartache?"
Xiao Meier did not hide her true feelings and nodded, her voice revealing a hint of worry:
"Sister Lin, I know you and Xiao Cheng mean well, but it’s not easy to make money. Spending like this, how much will it be?"
Wen Shulin laughed and said, "Do you know how much he earned this time?"
Xiao Meier shook her head: "I haven’t asked about his business matters."
"Over eighteen million. That’s just a conservative estimate," said Wen Shulin.
"That much?"
Xiao Meier’s eyes widened. The last time, nine million had already surpassed her expectations, and now, this doubling of funds in just a few days gave her an unprecedented shock.
"What’s the point of him making money?" Wen Shulin continued to ask.
Xiao Meier remembered the vow Chen Cheng made in the attic, "It’s for a better life for both of us."
But shyly she still said, "He makes money, probably for things he wants to do, I guess!"
Wen Shulin shook her head and corrected her, "Xiao Er, you’re wrong. He makes money exactly to provide you with a better life, to make you stand by his side more confidently, right?"
"What?"
"Now that Mr. Chen’s business is getting bigger and bigger, you are his partner, as well as his front."
Wen Shulin spoke slowly, "If you don’t dress up, what will others think?"
Xiao Meier fell silent for a moment; her mind quickly returned to the scene of the previous evening.
Although others respectfully called her "Mrs. Chen," she could feel the questioning in their eyes.
Why would someone as successful as Chen Cheng have such a plain woman by his side?
"Looking beautiful and having an outstanding demeanor, standing by Chen Cheng’s side, is not only support for him but also a boost for his career."
Wen Shulin continued, "In the future, he will take you to various occasions. If you don’t have a few different outfits, you won’t be able to get by in this circle."
"Now that his business is growing, as his partner and front, you need to showcase your charm even more."
Wen Shulin’s words were straightforward, and Xiao Meier began to realize the issue.
She was no longer just the owner of the Willow Tree Noodle Restaurant, and Chen Cheng was not just an average worker.
She needed to improve herself to become a woman who could walk shoulder to shoulder with Chen Cheng.
"Sister Lin, I understand."
Xiao Meier nodded firmly, "I won’t hold Xiao Cheng back."
A smile tugged at the corner of Wen Shulin’s mouth, "That’s good to know. Let’s go pick out a few bags first, then I’ll take you for some pampering."
As they conversed, they had already arrived at the entrance of Hermes.
Xiao Meier looked up at these once-unreachable brands, now feeling they were within reach.
But she still whispered, "Sister Lin, don’t pick anything too expensive. This brand..."
"Don’t worry, it’s on me."
Wen Shulin knew it was difficult to change someone’s perspective and raise their standards in a short time.
She smiled and said, "You won’t have to spend a penny of Mr. Chen’s money."
"Then... we might as well let him pay!" said Xiao Meier, clutching her new phone as she followed Wen Shulin inside.
...
Buying clothes, shoes, bags.
Today was Xiao Meier’s big shopping day.
When the trio, laden with purchases, stepped into this high-end beauty salon in Sanlitun, Xiao Meier felt an unparalleled sense of ease.
As soon as she entered the beauty salon, the warm welcome from the beauty consultant gave her an experience of luxury she had never felt before.
The neatly arranged slippers were right in front of her, and they even helped her take off her shoes; Xiao Meier had never experienced such service.
After changing shoes, the beauty consultant first asked, "Miss Wen, what would you like to do today?"
Wen Shulin smiled faintly and pointed to Xiao Meier beside her, "Let’s start with a comprehensive skin analysis for her, and see what needs improvement."
"Okay, Miss Wen."
Wen Shulin then turned to look at the silent Chen Cheng: "Give him one too."
"I’m getting one too?" Chen Cheng asked.
"Of course! Didn’t we agree last time? The three of us, together." Wen Shulin’s eyebrows rose playfully.
Xiao Meier chuckled and covered her mouth: "Xiao Cheng, you’re getting a beauty treatment too?"
Chen Cheng touched his own cheek and responded with a smile: "Yes, I really need to take good care of this face of mine."
The two accompanied Xiao Meier into the examination room, where, with the help of the equipment, the beauty consultant quickly came to a conclusion.
"Miss, you have quite a lot of dead skin cells and dark spots, and your pores are quite large. It’s likely due to long-term exposure to heavy cooking fumes."
Xiao Meier lay on the beauty bed, holding tightly with both hands: "What should I do then?"
"We’ll start with a deep cleaning for you, then hydrate and brighten the skin. If you do it about three times a week, for a month, your skin will be as smooth as a peeled egg!"
Wen Shulin reminded from the side: "Don’t forget about taking care of your hands, back, legs, and feet as well."
Xiao Meier blinked her eyes; looking at the two people in front of her, she felt a bit embarrassed.
"As for hair removal..." Wen Shulin hadn’t finished speaking when Xiao Meier’s face turned even redder.
Seeing her reaction, Wen Shulin decided: "Do that too! Let Xiao Er have a stunning transformation!"
A woman’s pursuit of beauty is etched deep within their bones.
After Wen Shulin’s persuasion in the SKP, Xiao Meier also understood that only a more beautiful self could stand next to a better Chen Cheng.
She nodded: "Okay, I’ll give it a try."
Chen Cheng’s nostrils twitched: "This is a major project, huh!"
"That’s why you’re going to the next room to put on a face mask and just wait."
Wen Shulin said with a smile: "Someone will come in to bring you food when it’s time."
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Alright, let me experience this too."
Wen Shulin then told the beauty consultant: "I’ll just have an essential oil back massage today!"
"Okay, Miss Wen."
Xiao Meier sat up from the beauty bed, and Wen Shulin said with a smile: "Xiao Er, let’s do it together."
"Okay, Sister Lin!"
...
Inside the spacious beauty room, Chen Cheng finally understood why women are so enamored with beauty salons.
The meticulous pampering, the gentle and graceful techniques, and the occasional praises whispering in the ear are akin to the way men cherish foot washes—the logic behind both is essentially the same.
With the cool mask on his face, Chen Cheng indulged in the moist sensation.
Not only the face mask, but there was also an unknown object covering his eyes, feeling slightly heavy but exceptionally comfortable for the eyeballs.
He closed his eyes to rest, full of anticipation for Xiao Meier’s stunning look after her treatment.
Creak~
The door was pushed open at this moment.
The sound of quiet footsteps broke the silence in the room.
Delicate fingers gently lifted the face mask from Chen Cheng’s face.
Chen Cheng: "Didn’t you say it should be on for twenty minutes? It seems like it’s not time yet."
Following that, the weight above his eyes was removed.
He slowly opened his eyes.
But what appeared before him, as his vision refocused, wasn’t the beauty consultant who had done his facial, but Wen Shulin with a smile on her lips.
After completing the essential oil back massage, she was still dressed in the beauty salon’s shorts and short-sleeved top, but her long hair draped over her shoulders, slightly curled, adding a touch of laziness and charm.
She leaned forward, her nose almost touching Chen Cheng’s, close enough to feel each other’s breath.
Her plump red lips parted slightly, the vibrant color like ripe cherries, carrying a faint fragrance that lingered on Chen Cheng’s nose, tantalizing his heartstrings.
"Mr. Chen, kiss me."
