Chapter 20.1

Chen Lunan probably knew what she was thinking. He cleared his throat, "En."

"......."

Even though it was only for a few minutes, Yan Qiuzhi felt like it was a world away.

After a while, Chen Lunan said, "Done."

Yan Qiuzhi bit her lip, lowered her head, and took back the concealer from his hand. To prevent her emotions from showing, she pretended to warn Chen Lunan in anger.

"If you do this again, I won't let you off."

Chen Lunan looked at her reddened ears as he listened to her scolding, but he remained silent.

Yan Qiuzhi hurriedly packed up her things. After making sure that the marks on her body weren't noticeable, she changed into a skirt and came out.

With a vibrant and attractive figure added to the room, Chen Lunan couldn't help but look a few more times.

He had to admit, netizens had a sharp eye.

Ignoring Chen Lunan's gaze, Yan Qiuzhi quickly finished packing and left with a remark, "I'm going to shoot for the magazine, won't be home for dinner."

"En."

Yan Qiuzhi looked at him suspiciously, "Are you staying home today?"

Chen Lunan nodded.

Yan Qiuzhi choked a bit and muttered softly, "Came back after studying abroad and still couldn't find a job?"

Chen Lunan glanced at her.

Yan Qiuzhi raised her neck like a beautiful little swan, "Blame yourself for being too idle."

She added, "I'm leaving."

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Lunan's reaction, she elegantly descended the stairs with her Dior handbag.

As soon as she got in the car, Zhu Zhu began to compliment her.

"Sister Yan Yan, you look even more beautiful after not seeing you for two days."

Yan Qiuzhi smiled, "It seems that our Zhu Zhu knows how to speak."

She looked lazy and leaned against the car window, asking, "How long will it take?"

Glancing at the time, Zhu Zhu said, "Not too long, about forty minutes."

"Hmm."

Yan Qiuzhi turned her head to look out of the window and let out a yawn.

"Why are you feeling sleepy already?"

Zhu Zhu exclaimed, looking her up and down, "Did you not get enough sleep?"

Yan Qiuzhi thought about it. She had probably slept enough. Although she went to bed around two or three in the morning last night, she slept until ten in the morning, which was sufficient.

"I've slept enough."

Yan Qiuzhi said, "Maybe it's because of winter; I need hibernation."

Zhu Zhu: "......."

Yan Qiuzhi was shooting the cover of a well-known magazine today, one of the top ten in the industry.

It was decided a long time ago; she was the cover star for this issue. The theme wasn't particularly suitable for Yan Qiuzhi, so she didn't understand why she was invited.

She had discussed it with Shen Muqing before. The theme for this issue was Valentine's Day, and it was scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day. She didn't understand why she, who was publicly single, was invited.

According to Shen Muqing's explanation, it was probably to console those single women.

If someone like Yan Qiuzhi – who was perfect in looks, figure, and knowledge – was single, what was there for others to feel sad about?

For a moment, Yan Qiuzhi was convinced by her and deeply felt that this might be the reason.

But now, when she thought about it again, she felt like Shen Muqing was crazy.

When she arrived at the magazine office, it was still early.

Yan Qiuzhi had previously shot a cover for this magazine, so everyone was familiar with each other. Communication went smoothly.

After exchanging greetings, the makeup artist did Yan Qiuzhi's makeup and styling, and then she changed her clothes.

There were several sets of outfits. It may not be possible to shoot with them all today. Yan Qiuzhi glanced at the clothes hanging in front of her and communicated with the photographer.

The photographer in charge of Yan Qiuzhi's shoot this time is a well-known figure in the industry. Every work she produces is praised and admired.

Under her lens, every model looks peerless.

The photographer's name is Li An, a very beautiful woman.

After exchanging greetings with Yan Qiuzhi, Li An whispered, "Qiuzhi, I saw your photos recently."

Yan Qiuzhi smiled faintly, "On Weibo?"

Li An nodded and whispered, "In the schoolgirl uniform. I've been thinking, besides the fiery red lips, I want to try a different style for you this time. I only got this idea when I saw those photos. What do you think?"

"No problem."

In terms of work, Yan Qiuzhi has always been cooperative.

The two quickly settled on the style.

The first set arranged by Li An for Yan Qiuzhi was surprisingly the bright red spaghetti strap dress she wore to a previous event.

She smiled suddenly and raised an eyebrow.

Li An said, "This had the highest and most regretful fan response." She tilted her head to look at Yan Qiuzhi. "Want to try it again?"

The last time she wore this dress, Yan Qiuzhi didn't have time, so she didn't have any pictures taken in this dress, which left the fans particularly regretful.

This time, Li An wanted her to wear it again and take stunning photos to make up for it.

"Sure."

Yan Qiuzhi changed into the dress and then did her makeup. With her perfect facial features, no matter how she styled herself, she looked beautiful.

To complement the dress, under Li An's inspiration, the makeup artist slightly intensified the barely noticeable mole below Yan Qiuzhi's eye. Paired with large wavy curls, she looked even more alluring.

After finishing the makeup, Yan Qiuzhi removed the scarf draped over her and stood up.

She turned around and instantly captivated everyone.

Too beautiful.

The dress perfectly highlighted her curves, revealing delicate collarbones and slender, flawless legs.

Turning around, her butterfly back and shoulder lines were exquisite.

She was incredibly suited for this kind of spaghetti-strap dress.

Li An looked at her red lips and big wavy hair, then scanned look from head to toe, "Absolutely beautiful."

Other staff members were also stunned.

They knew Yan Qiuzhi was attractive, and they knew she had a great figure, but today, looking at her, they truly realized that Yan Qiuzhi was breathtaking.

After arranging the props, Li An looked at Yan Qiuzhi, "Sit on the chair?"

"En."

Li An nodded as she looked at her, "Let's start with a side profile with narrowed eyes."

"Alright."

Yan Qiuzhi was very photogenic, and the camera seemed to be particularly friendly to her. Every frame was exceptionally perfect.

Li An watched and was happy to photograph Yan Qiuzhi.

"Change to another pose."

Li An stared at her legs for a while and said, "Let's go for something alluring, lie on the ground on your side."

"......."

Li An was someone who understood what netizens and fans wanted. Throughout the entire afternoon, she suggested one idea after another to Yan Qiuzhi.

Every movement, every scene, left the onlookers in awe and eager to see the final shots.

When this magazine comes out, they would all go and grab a copy.

Yan Qiuzhi, this woman, was simply overwhelming.

By the time the magazine shoot was all done, it was already very late.

Looking at Yan Qiuzhi, Li An's face was full of smiles, "It was indeed a very pleasant cooperation."

Yan Qiuzhi, draped in the down jacket that Zhu Zhu brought over, smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Li An."

Li An looked at her and said, "It's been a long time since I've had so much fun taking pictures of someone."

She blinked playfully at Yan Qiuzhi and said, "The last time was Chen Lunan. You truly deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as him."

Yan Qiuzhi: "......."

She felt that she would be even happier if she didn't say those last few words.

"You are over-praising me. I still have a long way to go."

"No."

Li An said sincerely, "I can guarantee that when this issue of the magazine comes out, your position will be even more stable."

Yan Qiuzhi smiled.

In addition to the magazine shoot, there was also an interview scheduled afterward.

After everything was finished, Yan Qiuzhi and Zhu Zhu got into the car and headed back.

"Sister Yan Yan, are you hungry?" Zhu Zhu asked.

Yan Qiuzhi touched her stomach, which had been empty all afternoon, and nodded, "Yes, I'm hungry. I want hotpot."

Zhu Zhu: "......."

Zhu Zhu sighed, "You can't eat hotpot. You have an awards ceremony to attend in a few days. You need to maintain your current figure, or else the evening gown won't fit."

Yan Qiuzhi was not very happy.

She wanted hotpot. She leaned against the car window, gazing eagerly at a hotpot restaurant outside.

Zhu Zhu couldn't bear to see her like this and whispered, "Sister Yan Yan, I'll just take you home. You can eat some fruit at home."

"......."
