Chapter 26: Seeing her, Seeing him
Chapter 26
(Unedited)
…
Ma Mian sauntered out of the area. However, before she could get away, a beautiful woman suddenly grabs her arm and then intimately said.
"Sister, can you also do my makeup? Please…"
She then looks at the makeup artist of the woman on the side who showed glowing eyes expecting to learn something from her while watching.
She helplessly heaves a sigh and became really busy from that time on.
Many of the makeup artists began asking her while she is working and she shyly explained what she is doing. At this time, she knew that it would be her chance to get acquainted with some of these people. Although this is unexpected, yet Ma Mian grabs this opportunity as it could be of help to her after.
Because of Ma Mian, the supposed-to-be boring audition became livelier with celebrities becoming more beautiful and stunning. After 4 hours of work, she receives more cash and also calling cards which she gladly accepted.
However, Song Cha and his manager did not like this and the two glared at Ma Mian as she sauntered out of that place with a big smile on her face.
"That ugly woman! How dare she help others?" Song Cha grumbled as he takes a seat near his manager's side.
Because of his agitation, he began scratching his neck. The itchiness would go away after he scratches it for a bit, then after about 15 minutes somewhere in his body would once again itch.
Soon, his manager noticed his strange behavior and checked his neck.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know… I feel a bit nervous about the result and it seems that my body began itching for some unknown reason." He said while scratching his neck.
"Stop scratching… I'll put some ointment in there, wait here…"
…
Meanwhile, Ma Mian began walking down the corridor as she asked for the direction of the utility department.
The employees pointed her towards the lowest floor of the huge building.
Soon she arrives in front of the entrance of the utility office. With a big smile on her face, she slowly stretches her hand to open the doorknob.
Meanwhile, in a particular direction, a tall young man is running while avoiding the many employees he would come across. When he saw those employees, they would show him confused look on their faces which made him feel a bit suspicious.
Yu Bai is currently running towards the utility office. The reason for this is because he saw on the CCTV camera that his wife is in the building. So he quickly jumps out of this office and ran as fast as he could towards the lower floors.
Yu Bai could not let Ma Mian discover his true identity or else his happy married days would be over. When he imagined her loathing him, and her expression of getting betrayed, his heart would quiver and he would feel worried and agitated.
He truly loves Ma Mian and did not want to hurt her. She may not be the most beautiful woman in the world, but at least for him, she is the most honest and humble one.
He would first prove to her that he is trustworthy and slowly win her heart and her trust before he would slowly show her his real self. He knew that he could not hide everything forever, and sooner or later, he still has to show his true self. But for now, everything should be kept in secret.
As he runs as fast as he could, he soon arrives in a curve. When he passes by a window, he saw his reflection and noticed the silver-framed glasses.
With a quick reaction, he grabs the glasses at the same time combing his hair down. In his agitation, he forgot to wear his disguise. He threw his glasses on the flower pot on the side while he suddenly appears from the corner.
"Ma… Ma Mian… Honey…" he called while looking at the woman with a surprised expression.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ma Mian stopped and did not fully open the door.
"Yu Bai!…" she exclaimed upon seeing her husband.
She noticed that Yu Bai seems to be catching his breath and the large sweats on his forehead made her feel warm. She immediately thought about how hardworking her husband is, and it made her feel proud of him.
Feeling grateful and happy to see him, she approached him and takes out a hanky inside her bag. She then gently wipes the perspiration on his forehead.
"You work really hard… Have you already had your lunch?" she asked with a smile while carefully wiping the sweat on his neck.
Yu Bai's face suddenly turned crimson as he could feel the sweet fragrance of his wife which seems a bit familiar. However, his mind did not linger to that part as from his position, he suddenly gets a glimpse of Ma Mian's twin peaks.
The snow-white skin and those supple looking… things that made him wanted to touch them, made Yu Bai stiffen and unconsciously gulped his saliva.
Ma Mian noticed the reaction of her husband and this made her blush a little. Then their eyes suddenly met which ignited a spark in each of their hearts.
"I see her…"
"I see him…"
Both thought but then they immediately diverted their gaze as they feel a bit shy.
Something deep inside the both of them made them hesitate to look at each other's eyes. It could be their secret, their fear, their worries, and their insecurity of the secret they are both holding back towards each other, they didn't know.
They just could not look each other in the eyes, but right now, they are both happy just standing with each other and feeling each other's presence as if the world only belongs to the two of them.
While in this loving and heartwarming moment, as if time was frozen where Ma Mian's dainty hand is holding the hanky while wiping the sweat on Yu Bai's neck and Yu Bai's is hand holding her other hand, someone suddenly appears in the corner disturbing the two.
"Ahem…"
Upon hearing the deep voice, the two were startled and suddenly have their backs straight up. It was a conditional reflex that made the two look like well-trained soldiers in 'attention'.
