President's Substitute Wife

Chapter 229 I was here for you

Jessie started helping me with my makeup. First, he adjusted the balance of my face with wax.

While adjusting, he said, “There is a beach barbecue tonight, I assured that I will make you the brightest star tonight.”

“Thank you, but I just want to look normal.”

I didn’t need to be a star. I just wanted to tell Sean about that secret. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Jessie didn’t think so. “That won’t work. I came for you. If you are not beautiful, am I not here for nothing? Others will question my technique.”

“Well, then, please.”

I knew, whatever I say, Jessie’s going to make me look pretty.

The cosmetic bag Jessie brought up stood up as a big mirror.

He adjusted my face and looked in the mirror and said, “Look, what do you think?”

“Very well, thank you.”

I never doubted Jessie’s technique.

He continued to apply makeup for me. When concealer was applied, he couldn't help but say, “Don’t mind if I ask a question. When Mr. Jessop asked me to apply makeup for you last time, I thought he was really fond of you . How long has this been, how...”

“I and him are not in the relationship that you think.”

I interrupted Jessie directly.

Jessie looked at me as if he understood something. He continued to make up for me, just frowned and said, “In my opinion, you are fearless because you are the favorite one for him. Your face becomes like this, and you don’t want to do a facelift. Men are visual animals. No matter how much they love, they can’t love them when they see such faces.”

“Yes.”

I looked calmly in the mirror. It was the perfect face that had been carved by Jessie’s amazing hands.

Yeah, men were visual animals.

Sean probably hated me already.

Jessie saw that I was not in the mood to answer and did not speak again.

He made up for me quietly.

“Ring-ring”

The doorbell rang at the door as soon as the makeup was ready.

Next I heard Ming’s voice, “June, are you in the room?”

“I will open the door for you.”

I wanted to get up and open the door. But Jessie stopped me and went to the door with his makeup brush in his hand.

After opening the door, Ming saw Jessie, and he was clearly stunned.

Jessie smiled seductively. He poked his hair and reached out to Ming. “Hello, I’m a makeup artist called by Mr. Jessop for Miss Carter.”

“Oh.” Ming hesitated, but reached out and touched Jessie’s hand.

When he came in and saw me, he frowned, “Your face...”

“What about my masterpiece? Is it great?”

At this point, Jessie put his hands on his chest and shook his body, like a shy little woman looking forward to Ming’s praise.

Even the voice became more flattering.

Ming leaned back slightly and looked at Jessie with some vigilance. He smiled reluctantly, “Well, terrific, thank you.”

“You are welcome.”

Jessie heard Ming say thank you and he laughed brilliantly.

The expression on his face can even be regarded as happiness.

Ming was a bit unnatural. He took a step back and stood at a distance. He put his hands around his chest, a bit like a defensive gesture, and said, “Well, you guys, if it’s not convenient, I'll wait outside.”

“It is convenient!”

Jessie answered for me.

After that, Jessie was extra careful for me, and occasionally chatted with Ming.

At the end of the process, Jessie asked Ming, “Mr. Jessop, what company do you run?”

Jessie thought that since Ming was a member of the JESSOP Group, he should also be running the company.

“I am just an ordinary doctor.” Ming answered truthfully.

Although he was running a hospital, I knew he regarded himself as a regular doctor.

“Doctor?” When Jessie heard it, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Ming with admiration. “Mr. Jessop, you are not tempted by money in a big family like the Jessop Group, and you can still insist on being a doctor. You are really incredible!”

Jessie’s words took me by surprise.

He was right.

Even if Ming is a bastard, he was still a member of the Jessop Group. The skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If he wanted to start a company, he will have enough resources.

But he still chose to be a doctor.

Ming smiled. “I do not have the gift to do business. I can only do this.”

“Mr. jessop is really great.”

As Jessie spoke, his face was almost intoxicated.

He quickly finished my makeup and quickly packed his things. Then he walked to Ming and said with all manners, “Mr. Jessop, I’ll go back and dress up first and see you at the beach BBQ at night!”

“...”Ming hesitated. His eyes fell on my face. As if for the sake of his make-up, he said awkwardly. “Well, I will see you tonight.”

As soon as Jessie left, Ming sat on the couch beside him, frowning, “Will he come to make you up every day?”

“Yes.”

“From tomorrow on, how about contacting me when you’re ready? I won’t come to you.” Ming sighed. “I’m really not good at getting along with him.”

“Well, I will call you when I get out.”

I was alleviating the embarrassment for Ming.

After talking about Jessie, Ming’s eyes fell on me again. He looked at me carefully and smiled. “But he is really good. You are beautiful today.”

“Is that right?” I got up and went to a mirror and looked at the beautiful woman in it.

Today I wasn’t the same as the one Jessie gave me that day. Today my face was thinner and looked a bit cold.

This matched the trait that fake faces cannot make big expressions.

Ming stood behind me and looked at me through the mirror.

He looked at me with those sharp eyes behind the glasses, and said with a touch of tenderness, “Let’s go, the sunset is so beautiful, let’s go for a walk.”

“okay”

I went to change my dress, and I went out with Ming.

Ming told me that this wedding basically involved only the relatives of the Jessop Group and the Lewis Group and their close friends.

“It doesn’t seem to be me.”

I was kind of special.

“Although I am a relative, I am the less popular one.”

Ming was only teasing himself, but he made me feel very embarrassed.

I looked at him and said, “I am sorry, it is all for me.”

He raised his hand and patted it gently at the top of my hair. “It’s okay, I can see such a beautiful you, it’s not a bad trip.” He paused and said, “And I know you’re pregnant. I’m glad I came this time.”
