Taking in Ning Xiaofei’s reaction in his eyes, Mu Tianye frowned.
“You don’t like it?”
He had just bought her clothes and given new jewelry. Mu Tianye didn’t want to give the same things before, so he thought of cosmetics.
As a man, of course he knew nothing about such items. He just listened to the shop assistant saying, “Isn’t it said online, there is no problem not solved by lipsticks. Buy one, take two.” He bought all the new colors from a few of the big brands. There were 50 or 60 of them. He thought they could make her happy, but she didn’t like them?
“Of course not.” Ning Xiaofei turned her face away, “It’s just…it’s too much.”
It was nothing new for boys to give away lipstick to girls, but it was a bit exaggerated to give away a box like he did.
Mu Tianye raised an eyebrow, he had never heard that there were still people who dislike too many gifts.
“Then… take one and give me the rest!”
“On what grounds!” Ning Xiaofei immediately reached out and hugged the box in her arms, “They’re all mine!”
She wasn’t proficient at applying make-up and didn’t have the spare money to buy these before. But he didn’t forget to buy her a gift despite his busy work, she was already delighted with his thoughts alone. How could she be unhappy?
Hugging the box and squinting her eyes at Mu Tianye, his eyebrows were slightly raised and his expression had already turned cloudy.
Holding the box, she sneaked a peek at Mu Tianye, and sure enough, his eyebrows were slightly raised. His expression had turned from cloudy and sunny.
Only then did Ning Xiaofei relax, and she casually opened the lipstick package in her hand.
“But honestly, I haven’t really used much lipstick before.” Seeing that the inside was a pretty transparent pale pink, she twisted the lipstick out and applied it on her lips, Ning Xiaofei turned her face towards Mu Tianye, “Pretty?!”
Looking at her dappled lips, Mu Tianye shook his head.
He tilted her chin, reached for the lipstick in her hand and carefully helped her apply it evenly.
Her lips were full and beautifully shaped, pink with lipstick and even more delicate in the light, making him want to take a couple of bites.
“Pretty.”
“Really?” Ning Xiaofei pouted, climbed onto the coffee table and fished out a small mirror from her bag, and then inspected her mouth agape in the mirror. “Well… this color is so beautiful.”
At this point, she turned to Mu Tianye, reached out and embraced his neck, and kissed the man on the face. Looking at that faint lip mark on the man’s cheek, she giggled.
Mu Tianye raised his hand to wipe his face and the tip of his eyebrows gently rose. His eyes fell on her happy smiling face, and a whiff of his thinly veiled anger also evaporated.
“Don’t be too concerned about the work, take your time.”
Ning Xiaofei’s smile stiffened a bit.
So, he had bought her so many lipsticks just to cheer her up, in case she was in a bad mood from losing her job?
In a heartbeat, she was touched.
Reaching over and pulling a tissue, she leaned forward and carefully wiped his face clean.
“Don’t worry, it’s just another job. I’m not going to worry about such trivial matters.”
As soon as she dropped the tissue in her hand, she took another lipstick.
“It’s…deep red, I’ve never worn this before!”
Wiping off the lipstick on her lips, she applied the red lipstick in front of the hand mirror and turned to look at him.
“How about this?”
“Pretty.”
Ning Xiaofei looked back in the small mirror, and mimicking something she had seen in a movie, she stuck the tip of her tongue out and slowly licked her lips, and finally threw him a wink.
“Husband, am I sexy?”
Without saying a word, the man held her small face with his left hand, and pulled a tissue with his right to wipe the lipstick off her mouth.
“Don’t wipe it off. I-I haven’t taken a selfie yet…ummm..”
