After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 50.1
Xia Shishi’s skin was very well maintained, and she was inherently young, so she wouldn’t choose a lipstick that was too red, as it wouldn’t suit her.
The one she took out was a botanical lipstick; its ingredients were natural and healthy. When applied, the lips would gain more luster and fullness, like tender, pink cherries waiting to be picked.
In terms of the lipstick’s raw materials, it was also very suitable for Wen Jiao.
It was just the color—it would definitely look better on Xia Shishi’s lips.
Wen Jiao rarely wore makeup because of her illness. She held the lipstick Xia Shishi handed her and slowly twisted it out.
Xia Shishi looked on expectantly.
“You want me to put it on?” Wen Jiao tilted her head to look at her.
“Yes.” Xia Shishi nodded hard.
Wen Jiao remained silent, then twisted the lipstick back in. Meeting Xia Shishi’s disappointed gaze, and before Xia Shishi could murmur anything, she pulled the car divider up.
Before Xia Shishi could react, Wen Jiao cupped Xia Shishi’s head with her hand and kissed her forcefully.
How could she kiss someone else?
Wen Jiao’s lips rubbed against Xia Shishi’s, smearing the lipstick onto her.
Since she wanted it, then this counted as wearing it.
Xia Shishi placed her hand on the seat, staring blankly at Wen Jiao. Then, her eyelashes trembled, and after confirming that the driver couldn’t see, she began to respond awkwardly to the kiss.
Xia Shishi kissed back with a little force, wanting desperately to share all the lipstick with Wen Jiao.
But before she could see what Wen Jiao looked like wearing the lipstick, that pitiful little bit of color was swept into Wen Jiao’s mouth with the tip of her tongue.
Xia Shishi panicked.
Even if the ingredients were healthy, they still contained oils and waxes!
Although swallowing a little bit was fine, she shouldn’t be licking it off to this extent, and sharing it with her to eat!
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
Xia Shishi wanted to push Wen Jiao away.
And reluctantly remind her to rinse her mouth immediately.
But she was useless.
The kissing made her mind buzz and spin; her vision was blurred, and her hand had unknowingly moved from the seat onto Wen Jiao’s body. The occasional moment of clarity that flared up only made her want to kiss back.
Although she married Wen Jiao.
But on the bed, they had to decide who was the top and who was the bottom.
They hadn’t sorted it out yet, so she must be the top. She would try her best to take good care of Wen Jiao, so Wen Jiao wouldn’t have to move and could be comfortable.
The kiss made Xia Shishi’s scalp tingle. After failing to resist several times, she started to think, exasperatedly.
Why is Wen Jiao so good at kissing?
Has she kissed other people!
Thinking that Wen Jiao was seven years older than her, and matured seven years earlier than her… maybe even more than seven years.
If Wen Jiao had liked and kissed other people during those seven years, Xia Shishi wouldn’t know.
“Hiss.” Wen Jiao pressed her fingertip against the corner of her mouth.
She had been bitten.
Xia Shishi glared at Wen Jiao in a fit of pique, scrutinizing her, trying to find a clue.
But with something like this, being proven right wasn’t good, and being proven wrong would hurt their feelings. Xia Shishi could only whimper, “Stop kissing.” It’s too much.
She had been honest and never dated.
Never kissed anyone.
That’s why she failed to counterattack just now.
Xia Shishi’s flushed lips trembled from the kissing, she was upset. If only she was given more time to prepare, who would win wouldn’t be certain.
Wen Jiao didn’t continue, raising her hand to smooth Xia Shishi’s hair, then leaning back to sit upright, supporting herself with her hand.
She could tell Xia Shishi was angry, but she couldn’t figure out the reason for her anger.
She thought the young girl was feeling averse.
Perhaps some people are fine with the verbal intimacy, but their hearts still can’t accept it.
Wen Jiao’s nerves instantly tensed up, especially since her hand was already gripping tight.
She knew Xia Shishi was simple in terms of social interaction and thought that Xia Shishi might not have figured out some things herself yet.
She also knew that Xia Shishi hadn’t kissed anyone else.
Even if her relationship with Zhou Xiaojiang was close, nothing had happened between them.
Wen Jiao was just worried that when Xia Shishi could accept her, she would also accept Zhou Xiaojiang. This was just a baseless speculation, yet it was enough to make Wen Jiao feel uneasy.
As for now, she couldn’t sort out her feelings.
She thought if Xia Shishi was averse to her kissing her, then she would be even less likely to think about Zhou Xiaojiang.
But then the thought looped back to: Xia Shishi doesn’t like her kissing her.
How can that be.
Wen Jiao’s fingers trembled. She looked out the window, repeating over and over in her heart: How can that be…
She shouldn’t go kiss anyone else, and she’d better not refuse me either…
“…”
Xia Shishi was checking her lips in the mirror.
Despite how vigorously she showed affection, she would be quite shy to get out of the car like this, afraid of being seen.
Xia Shishi’s face was flushed now, and her ears were red. She applied makeup to herself, trying to cover it up, and finally sneaked a look at Wen Jiao, like a woman suspecting her partner of cheating.
Wen Jiao definitely wouldn’t cheat; she was so good.
But if Wen Jiao had liked someone else before, Xia Shishi would still feel jealous.
She regretted not being reborn earlier, preferably meeting Wen Jiao before she grew up, leaving Wen Jiao no chance to look at other women.
Wen Jiao was currently looking out the car window.
The back of her head was facing Xia Shishi, preventing Xia Shishi from seeing her face.
After a while.
“Turn your head.”
Wen Jiao turned her head.
Xia Shishi looked at her lips and found that after the kiss, Wen Jiao’s lips were even redder.
Since Wen Jiao didn’t usually wear makeup, the redness was very obvious. Xia Shishi clutched the small mirror in her hand, her mind filled with the thought: no one must find out!
She didn’t know why she felt guilty, but Xia Shishi still pulled out a lipstick.
It wasn’t the one she had just applied, but a different one, a new one.
Xia Shishi said awkwardly, “I originally wanted to find an opportunity to give it to you, but there’s no choice, I have to give it to you now.”
During the days she went to visit Fang Yingcai, she wasn’t just working on him; she also secretly made this lipstick for Wen Jiao.
She had originally planned to find a nice atmosphere and give it as a gift to enhance their relationship.
The incident with Qi Xue made Xia Shishi feel the timing was wrong, so she wanted to wait a few more days before giving it.
It wouldn’t hurt to give it now, would it?
At worst, she would give her other things later!
Xia Shishi handed out the lipstick: “This shade definitely suits you. Apply it, and your aura will be a meter-eight. Trust my judgment!”
Wen Jiao: “…”
Xia Shishi added: “No one will dare to look down at you from now on!”
Wen Jiao: “Then what will they look at?”
Xia Shishi: “They’ll look at your aura!” Her tone was so self-assured.
Wen Jiao reached out, took the lipstick, and this time didn’t smudge Xia Shishi’s lipstick but began to seriously test the color.
She had to support the young girl’s work.
Xia Shishi’s sense of aesthetics was truly on point.
Even without foundation, just applying the lipstick made Wen Jiao’s sharp look intensify. Her previously cool and aloof temperament became cold and glamorous; she exuded nobility just by sitting there.
“Looks good, right?” Xia Shishi held up the small mirror.
“It looks good.” Wen Jiao immediately wiped the lipstick off with a wet tissue.
“We’re almost there,” Wen Jiao explained.
They couldn’t get out of the car looking like completely different people.
People would notice they had the leisure to put on makeup in the car.
Xia Shishi still wanted to persuade her to keep it on, after all, applying lipstick and wearing face wash were two different things. However, Wen Jiao said they were almost there, and they really were. Not long after she spoke, the car stopped.
The driver’s voice came through the divider to the back: “We’re here.”
Xia Shishi: “…”
I know! So annoying!
Zhou Xiaojiang was severely provoked by Xia Shishi.
During her well-deserved break, she didn’t seize the time to memorize her lines or build relationships on set; instead, she dedicated all her time to Xia Shishi.
She only shared the first marketing account.
There were countless more marketing accounts to follow.
What we’re marketing accounts? They could post a dozen videos a day, borrowing material from competitors if they didn’t have enough.
Thus, the videos promoting Xia Shishi quickly spread across short video platforms.
Qi Xue’s loud and clear angry shout in the street was clipped, taken out of context, and turned into ‘evidence’: Xia Shishi’s shameless actions and betrayal of her partner.
Viewers who stumbled upon these videos were shocked beyond belief.
The gossip mongers flocked to Xia Shishi’s posts and found that she still had the nerve to show off her affection?
“The couple’s money must have been sucked out of others; what rich woman persona are they trying to promote?”
“I just want to advise you to be decent human beings.”
“The sensationalism didn’t cross my line, but Xia Shishi’s behavior really shatters my worldview.”
“This is truly despicable, crushing a person down to the bone marrow. Not only did she make Qi Xue bear the brunt of the criticism, but she also wants her to pay her entire family fortune. How calculating!”
“That’s disgusting! I actually believed you were a generous person, but it turns out you stab people in the back!”
These comments quickly drowned out Xia Shishi’s original ones.
Zhou Xiaojiang watched it all. She casually flipped through a few pages, then switched to her chat history with Xia Shishi.
Serves you right! For showing off your affection!
Now look, you’ve dragged Wen Jiao into it too.
Let’s see if you dare to show off again in the future.
Zhou Xiaojiang finally felt less provoked.
She planned to put away her phone but then decided to call Fu Yunhan to ask about his situation.
It took a long time for Fu Yunhan to answer.
Zhou Xiaojiang was so preoccupied with Xia Shishi that she ignored this minor unpleasant detail: “The video has started to go viral. Have you started preparing on your end?”
The sound on Fu Yunhan’s end was a bit noisy, then it became clear: “I’ve already sent people to arrange the internet trolls.”
The last opportunity for that city quota was now; if he couldn’t make Wen Jiao give up, he would completely lose his chance.
He had already arranged for internet trolls to steer the public opinion, encouraging them to attack the malicious operations of Xia Group.
With such a major incident involving his fiancée’s family, Wen Jiao wouldn’t possibly not take time out to help, would she?
Fu Yunhan was in a good mood: “This matter is thanks to you. You can tell me anything you want, and I’ll arrange for it.”
With a few hundred million coming his way, he could invest in any drama Zhou Xiaojiang wanted to film.
Zhou Xiaojiang’s initial joy cooled down upon hearing this.
She didn’t seem to need Fu Yunhan that much anymore.
She only got the opportunity to play the female lead in this drama thanks to Xia Shishi. Zhou Xiaojiang was very confident in this drama; even as the female second lead, she could become popular with this show.
At that point, she wouldn’t really need Fu Yunhan’s investment.
