She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 27 - 00: Truly a Human Beauty

Chapter 27: Chapter 0027: Truly a Human Beauty

Mu Lan entered her home, and a delicious scent wafted from the small kitchen.

“Auntie Li, what tasty dish are you making?”

“I’ve made soup for the young master; I noticed he has been a bit irritated lately.”

“…”

The culprit felt a bit guilty and couldn’t help but chuckle nervously.

Then, recalling what Shen Zichu said, she wondered if she really needed to learn how to act coquettishly?

...

“Young Madame…”

“Auntie Li, just call me by my name, please.”

Auntie Li paused for a moment.

“Well, alright, Mu Lan. Have you and the young master had a falling-out?”

“You noticed?”

Mu Lan had no intention of hiding it.

“Sigh, the young master is just not very expressive. If he said something, it might not really be what’s on his mind.”

After all, she had taken care of Huo Tingxiao since he was a child and knew him very well.

“You might as well say he’s just awkward, I wonder how I ever put up with it before.”

Auntie Li felt a bit awkward, because before Tingxiao hardly ever came home, and even when he did, the two were like respectful strangers. Tingxiao was one to show no emotion at all towards people he didn’t care about.

The two chatted more jovially, completely unaware that the person in question had already come home.

Tingxiao watched Mu Lan laughing heartily, looking like a small sun radiating light.

“The young master is back.”

“You’re back.”

Mu Lan got up from the sofa, walked over with a smile as if there had been no cold war at all between them.

Tingxiao originally wanted to act cool, but he couldn’t help responding.

“Yeah.”

“Auntie Li made you soup; it smells especially good.”

“I’ve eaten already.”

Saying that, he was about to go upstairs, but Mu Lan grabbed his sleeve.

Tingxiao’s body stiffened, and his gaze fell on the small hand holding his sleeve.

“Have a bit, please. Auntie Li has been boiling it for a long time.”

Her voice was much softer than usual, which made both of them freeze.

Realizing what she’d done, Mu Lan quickly withdrew her hand, cursing internally. Damn that Shen Zichu, advising her to act coquettish.

This was coquettishness gone wrong! So embarrassing!

Tingxiao was stunned for a second, but quickly regained his composure and silently walked over to the dining table.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Auntie Li couldn’t help but smile like a proud aunt.

“There’s a party in Jiancheng tomorrow; come with me.”

“But my foot has just healed.”

The truth was she didn’t want to go; she felt uncomfortable just thinking about such occasions.

“You seemed agile enough just now, no worse than a monkey at the zoo.”

“…”

This man, so sharp-tongued! Auntie Li must be wearing thick filters to say he’s not bad.

“Young master, today Mu Lan went to see Doctor Shen, and he advised her to be more careful.”

Looking gratefully at Auntie Li, tears welled up in Mu Lan’s eyes.

“Auntie Li knows how to care for me.”

Implying that he was heartless? If not for having already spoken with Shen Zichu on the phone, he might have believed it.

“Auntie Li, some people lie without blinking, you have to be careful.”

“I…”

Fine then, since it’s been put that way, there’s no point in pretending anymore.

“Fine, fine, I’ll go; why must you make such a fuss about it?”

———

Mu Lan booked a styling studio, for after all, she had to command presence at such an event.

However, she had not expected to run into Liu Na again in the vast Sea City.

“What a small world, to bump into you here again.”

Liu Na was a VIP here and frequented the place for maintenance, so she was quite familiar with the beauticians and stylists.

Those who frequented this salon were either the rich and prestigious, or some internet celebrities and stars, but Mu Lan was a new face here, not the regular salon she used to visit.

“Lisa, make sure you take good care of her. She’s spending a lot, so make sure it’s worth her money.”

The stylist looked at Mu Lan with a hint of malice, then responded with a forced smile.

“Of course, we treat every guest seriously.”

Mu Lan knew Liu Na wouldn’t miss this chance for some small conspiracy; she was ready to face whatever came her way, not believing Liu Na could cause any real trouble.

With Liu Na’s brains, her tactics were nothing clever.

As Lisa took her to the VIP room on the second floor, it was Mu Lan’s first time at this salon, and she felt a bit bewildered.

The space, several square meters wide, not only had a makeup table piled with various cosmetics and skincare products but also a dressing area.

“Miss, please change into the gown first.”

Seeing Mu Lan’s unfamiliarity, a hint of disdain crept onto Lisa’s face.

“Okay.”

She walked into the changing room, opened the box to take out the gown, and was shocked by its design.

The entire back was bare, and the hem was absurdly short; the material was scanty at best—what kind of gown was this?

No wonder… Liu Na had that look of eagerness to see a spectacle; likely, she had something to do with this outfit.

Mu Lan swallowed her anger.

“This isn’t the style I wanted.”

Lisa was taken aback as she emerged from the changing room.

“But this is the only gown left in our store; all the others have been reserved.”

Mu Lan felt like rolling her eyes. There wasn’t enough time to go shopping for another gown; well, she’d just wear it.

If judged solely on the gown, it was easy to come off as tacky, yet Mu Lan managed to own it with her charisma.

The tacky design was unexpectedly worn with a vintage, sexy flair by her.

Lisa couldn’t help but be dazzled, as she hadn’t expected Mu Lan to pull off such a look.

Since clothes were not a choice anymore, Mu Lan could only compensate with other aspects.

“My hair doesn’t need to be put up.”

“This…”

“Is there a problem?”

“We usually style based on the gown; I think it’s better…”

“You just need to do as I’ve requested. I am the client, and I have the right to make requests, correct?”

Mu Lan’s tone wasn’t particularly harsh, but the aura she exuded left Lisa somewhat taken aback.

“Okay… Okay.”

Since she conceded on the hairstyle, Lisa tried to make a statement with the makeup.

She intentionally gave her a 90s retro red lip makeup to match the supposed frivolity of the gown.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the final look only highlighted Mu Lan’s stunning beauty, reminiscent of a 90s Hong Kong star—bright and beautiful, utterly captivating.

Lisa had worked with many female stars and seen many beauties, but Mu Lan’s quality, managing to be glamorous without being vulgar even with heavy makeup, was indeed rare.

Her hair quality was also exceptional; slightly curled long hair cascaded down like seaweed, both sexy and innocently demure—a true rarity among beauties.

“How is it going; all smooth?”

Liu Na entered uninvited, pushing the door open with an original expression of anticipation for a spectacle, but upon seeing Mu Lan, her face darkened immediately.

Her inquiring gaze shot immediately towards Lisa.

Lisa also felt quite innocent as she had tried her best. It wasn’t her fault that Mu Lan had a good foundation.

“Um, there’s another client waiting for me; you two have a chat.”
