Chapter 429 Special Effects Makeup Artist

Her eyes were hot and tears were brewing.

Li Lei took a few steps forward and held her in his arms for a long time.

"I miss you so much," he said.

Only then did she come to her senses and gently pull away from him. "I...I am already Pei Ziheng's."

His expression dimmed, but in the blink of an eye, he forced himself to smile: "So what? When you were in trouble, he couldn't save you as fast as me." He turned around in front of her, "Xiao Ling, look , I look good in this outfit, right? Let’s take you out.”

When he said this, his expression was so natural, as if all the unhappiness and disagreements between them had never happened in the past few days. He didn't even ask her why she stayed in Yanyun Hotel without any problems, nor what happened to the child in her belly.

His attitude made Xia Ling relax.

Li Lei told her his plan, which was to ask her to disguise herself as a cleaner and sneak out of the hotel with them. For a moment, Xia Ling was a little dazed. She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she had seen a lot of special effects makeup techniques, large and small, but this was the first time that they used special effects makeup as a daily disguise.

Seeing that she was not moving, Li Lei urged him, then turned to the person who came with him and said, "Ji Yun, Xiao Ling will be left to you."

It turned out that that person was Ji Yun.

Xia Ling knew that he was Tianyi's chief special effects makeup artist and that he had numerous award-winning works. It was said that his schedule had already been scheduled for next year. He was also dressed as a cleaner. He was bending down and taking out things from the cleaning truck in a quick and orderly manner. Silicone, hoods, paints, brushes... piles of items were lined up all over the room.

She greeted him politely: "Hello, Brother Yun."

She has always respected people with real abilities.

Ji Yun was busy with his work without raising his head: "Wash your hands, feet and face, and sit in front of the mirror. You are not very tall and have a small frame. It is not a big problem to put on old man's makeup. It's just that you dress like an old man." Being an old man is not an easy task. The gait and tone of voice must be similar. If you have never played an old man before, you should try to figure it out now. If you are exposed when you go out, it will not be fun."

Xia Ling was stunned by his rapid-fire words, and then she responded: "Okay."

Li Lei comforted him: "Relax, Xiao Ling, follow me later, it'll be fine."

Ji Yun glanced at him, said nothing, and concentrated on putting on her makeup.

The image of her in the mirror became stranger little by little, and when the makeup was done, a living old man stood before her eyes. Xia Ling marveled at Ji Yun's technique. Even if she walked past a familiar person, she would not be recognized at all.

Li Lei looked her up and down, smiled and said, "You look pretty even when you are old."

Ji Yun put the tools back into the cleaning car while answering: "In case any sharp-eyed reporters recognize her, I have made special treatments on her face and figure. She will not look like this when she is old."

Li Lei touched his nose awkwardly.

Xia Ling also laughed, feeling relieved for a rare moment these days. I thought to myself, it is really not easy for Li Lei to be the boss. How many people in the company buy his respect? But then I thought about it and felt sad again. Did no one take him seriously? Will he be lonely?

Li Lei didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled when he saw her, with soft eyes: "Are you ready? Let's go out now, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

Xia Ling nodded and took a deep breath.

Over the years, she has hidden from reporters a lot, but this is the first time she has swaggered out wearing special effects makeup. She was a little nervous, but she calmed down after taking a look at Li Lei, who was also dressed as a cleaner and looked calm and collected next to her.

Ji Yun stayed in the guest room to clean up the aftermath, while Xia Ling and Li Lei pushed the cleaning cart out.

When she went out through the back door, she found that there were indeed many people gathered outside, including reporters and fans. A group of people were chatting animatedly, speculating excitedly on whether she was in the room or not, and whether she had ever had sex with a man other than Pei Ziheng.

Li Lei's face didn't look good.

Xia Ling was very embarrassed. She opened her mouth to say something to him, but he said: "Lower your head."

At this moment, Xia Ling did not dare to make a mistake. She obeyed his instructions and kept her head down, pushing the cleaning cart and walking past the group of people inconspicuously. Surprisingly, it came out so easily.

He led her through the streets and alleys. Five minutes later, he arrived at a road where a semi-old van was parked. The driver came down. It was Lao Chen, whom she had often dealt with when she was at Tianyi. He and Li Lei moved the cleaning truck they were pushing up, and then arranged for them to get on the bus.

The car door was closed.

Li Lei then looked at her carefully and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Ling, you have lost weight."

He also lost weight.

Xia Ling's nose felt sore after listening to his concerned words, but she looked away cruelly. "Thank you for coming to save me," she said, "but in fact, Pei Ziheng has also arranged for someone to save me."

"I want to see you, even if it's only for a short while." Li Lei said in a low voice.

Of course he knew that Pei Ziheng had also arranged people, and he also knew that the people arranged by Pei Ziheng were doing much the same thing as him, and they all planned to dress her up before taking her out of the hotel - the two parties met in a narrow way in the corridor of the hotel, and Li Lei's people fought The person who fainted Pei Ziheng was the first to enter Xia Ling's room.

But there is no need to let her know this.

Xia Ling said: "Li Lei, you know it's impossible for us."

"Why, because of the child?" He then brought up the bloody and thorny topic between the two of them, "Do you want to give birth to this child? Even if you don't love him?"

She lowered her head: "I want to give birth to this child." But not for Pei Ziheng, but because... that is my child with you, Li Lei.

Her hand touched her lower abdomen habitually, and there was a gentleness in her eyes.

The street lights on the roadside shone through the car window on her profile, soft and peaceful. Li Lei found that she was so happy when she mentioned her children. Maybe she didn't love Pei Ziheng, but she really loved the child in her belly.

"Is it more important than me?" Li Lei asked sadly.

"This is different," Xia Ling said softly, "You can still live well without me, Li Lei. But if I don't want the baby, it will..." She couldn't go on, not wanting to give up even half of it. Good words for the unborn baby.

Li Lei's heart was cut like a knife.

"Besides," Xia Ling made a determined effort and whispered, "I don't love Pei Ziheng as much as you think."

His world seemed to collapse before his eyes.

"Come back to me, come back, Xiao Ling." His voice was dry, and he heard himself begging her, "I can also take care of you and let you give birth to your child safely and smoothly by my side. If you don't love Pei Ziheng, don't Lie to me, you don’t love him at all…”
