Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1488 Change of appearance

"Xiaomei, how can you be so honest? Don't act like a fool anymore! You always do whatever others ask you to do. Why don't you know how to say 'no'? Look at you, you are always so obedient and don't even think about yourself."

"Let's go to the coffee shop. We're all good sisters together, and no one wants to let you do any more work, for fear of tiring you out! But you, on the other hand, do whatever others ask you to do in the capital, and you don't know how to refuse. It really makes me sad!"

After saying that, she leaned slightly to the side, stretched out her slender white fingers, and gently tapped the pile of exquisitely packaged shopping bags at Xiaomei's feet. She continued, "Look, take a good look at these. I picked them all especially for you. Look at you. You don't even know how to take care of yourself on weekdays. You always look so plain."

"Listen carefully, you have to dress up nicely from now on. You absolutely can't be so careless like before! I don't want to hear people talking behind my back, saying that my Nan Weiwei's best friend is actually a rustic country bumpkin! Humph, my Nan Weiwei's friends are all well-known figures, not those cats and dogs who can reach out to them! So, you must dress yourself up beautifully from now on and let those people see how outstanding my Nan Weiwei's sister is!"

Xiaomei stood there, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of fear and anxiety.

A blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and her hands were tightly clenched on the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She looked at the full and heavy shopping bag in her hand, and felt that the bag seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it was so hot that her palms were sweating.

She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she mustered her courage, raised her head, and looked at Nan Weiwei with a pleading look in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Weiwei, this...this really can't be done. There are too many of these things, and they look very valuable. I...I can't accept them."

The surrounding environment is like a busy street in a bustling city, with people coming and going and traffic.

The shops on the street are full of goods, and the merchandise in the windows sparkles temptingly under the lights.

However, at this moment, Xiaomei had no intention of appreciating the prosperity around her. Her heart was filled with emotion.

Xiaomei felt her eyes warm up, as if the warm liquid was about to burst out. Her nose was slightly red, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Weiwei, you are so good to me. You and Xiaoxiao are the best to me."

There is endless gratitude and warmth hidden in these words, as if the most precious friendship in the world is condensed in these few words.

Nan Weiwei raised her head slightly, a carefree smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she waved her hand gently, pretending to be casual: "Tsk, we are good friends, don't say that. My sister, Nan Weiwei, must be pampered well. Xiaoxiao is pampered by the tyrant Fu Yanchen, so I don't even have a chance to buy her."

Nan Weiwei's bright eyes sparkled with sincerity, as if the purest friendship in the world was contained in her words and actions.

At this time, Niu Mengmeng came over with a smile, her eyes shining with anticipation. Like a greedy kitten, she pointed at the pile of things in her hands and asked playfully.

"Then... Weiwei, are all these things in my hand given to me?" Niu Mengmeng widened her eyes and looked at Nan Weiwei.

Nan Weiwei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile. There was a playful energy between her delicate eyebrows, which made people like her.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a teasing tone, "No, Mengmeng."

A hint of "disappointment" flashed across Niu Mengmeng's face, but it was quickly replaced by curiosity.

"Hehe, there was no gift for me. Our relationship has faded."

Nan smiled silently, pointing to the exquisitely packaged watch box in Niu Mengmeng's hand, then blinked, the smile on the corner of his mouth becoming more obvious, and said with a bit of playfulness: "This watch is for you~"

When Niu Mengmeng heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and her joy was beyond words. She jumped up excitedly, holding the watch box tightly with both hands, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world, and her voice trembled with excitement.

"Thank you. I've liked this watch for a long time, but it's too expensive. I can't afford it. Weiwei, I love you so much."

Her brilliant smile is like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving.

She knew in her heart that this watch was very expensive, and it was a rare friendship that Weiwei could give it to her.

After finishing their cold drinks, a few people walked out of the store, feeling the warmth of the afternoon sun on their bodies.

Nan Weiwei put her hands naturally in her pockets and walked forward briskly, as if the whole world was at her feet.

Her face was filled with a confident smile, and the sunlight shining on her made her look particularly dazzling.

"Xiaomei, Mengmeng, let's go!" Nan Weiwei turned to look at Xiaomei beside her and greeted her warmly, "Today I'm taking you to the cosmetics store and picking out a set of cosmetics and skincare products that suit you, Xiaomei."

Xiaomei looked at Nan Weiwei hesitantly, and seemed not very interested in this proposal.

"Okay, it just so happens that my cosmetics are almost gone." Niu Mengmeng nodded. Her conditions were definitely better than Xiaomei's.

Nan Weiwei saw Xiaomei's expression and quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiaomei, I'm not forcing you to buy anything expensive. I just want you to try out some makeup and have fun. And... I'm telling you, we can even get some free makeup done in the store!"

Xiaomei felt a little more relaxed after hearing Nan Weiwei's words, but still asked uncertainly, "But I'm not very good at putting on makeup. Will it look ugly?"

Nan Weiwei smiled and gently patted Xiaomei's shoulder, saying in a soft and soothing tone, "Hey, Xiaomei, don't think that! You're actually quite pretty, you just might not have paid much attention to your appearance. Look at your skin, so delicate, and your eyes, so big and bright. Just put on a little makeup to highlight your good looks, and you'll definitely be very beautiful!"

Xiaomei smiled embarrassedly.

She paused, then continued, "Really? I'm not lying to you. You have to know that there are no truly ugly women in the world. Every woman is beautiful and has her own beauty. The only ones who are too lazy to take care of themselves are ugly!"

"We are not like Xu Xiaoxiao, who can be as beautiful as a fairy even without dressing up, and make Fu Yanchen fall head over heels for her. However, as long as you are willing to spend more time and effort on yourself and dress yourself up carefully, I can say with certainty that you will become extremely beautiful and stunning!"

Then, Nan Weiwei smiled and continued in a gentle but firm tone, "From now on, you can get up a little earlier every morning before going to work. Then, use the extra time to put on some light makeup."

She paused, as if imagining what the other person would look like after putting on makeup, and then continued, "Look, putting on light makeup doesn't actually take that much time, but it can bring you unexpected results! After putting on makeup, you'll look refreshed and radiant, just like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, full of energy and vitality."

Nan Weiwei became increasingly excited as she spoke, her voice revealing her love for makeup and her pursuit of beauty. "Plus, makeup doesn't just make you look prettier. More importantly, it changes your temperament! You'll find yourself becoming more confident and elegant, exuding a unique charm in every gesture. Believe me, once you try makeup, you'll definitely fall in love with yourself in it!"

Her eyes were full of seriousness, as if she was planning a blueprint to make Xiaomei even better.

As she spoke, her eyes slowly swept around, as if taking in every corner of the mall. Then, she gently raised her finger and pointed at the pedestrians walking through the mall.

"Look at all these people coming and going," she said with a hint of emotion in her voice. "Look carefully, how many young women don't wear makeup? If they have a little money, they'll spend it on cosmetics."

Nan Weiwei's words seemed to reveal a sense of helplessness, and seemed to be reminding her of something.

Then, she paused for a moment and continued, "People only live for tens of thousands of days. Eat and drink as you please. Don't be wronged. Why be stingy with yourself? It's not worth it."

Her tone grew firmer, as if she were emphasizing an important point.

"Spend what you need to spend, don't be stingy. After all, it's your life, you have to make yourself happy and comfortable."

The words, like the gentle spring breeze, nourished Xiaomei's somewhat ignorant and somewhat inferior heart.

Niu Mengmeng nodded her head like a kindred spirit, her eyes full of approval as she spoke vividly, "That's right! When I first entered society, I was just like Xiaomei, as innocent as a blank slate, knowing nothing. But I was lucky enough to get a job at Nan Corporation right away."

"The quality of Nan's employees is incredibly high! There's absolutely no bullying at all, and everyone gets along so well. Furthermore, the seniors are incredibly kind and have taught me so much, from professional skills to interpersonal skills. It's truly been incredibly beneficial."

As she spoke, a happy smile spread across her face, as if the good times she had spent at Nan's were reappearing before her eyes.

After hearing this, Xiaomei was filled with envy of Niu Mengmeng's experience, and at the same time she secretly made up her mind to make herself a better person.

After Nan Weiwei's repeated persuasion and encouragement, Xiaomei finally agreed to have a good time in the cosmetics store.

The makeup artist in the store is very skilled, like a magical wizard, gently dancing the makeup brush on Xiaomei's face.

Various cosmetics interweave into brilliant colors on Xiaomei's face. Her originally delicate facial features are made more three-dimensional and exquisite by the makeup. Her eyebrows are like distant ink, her eyes are like stars, and her lips are like cherries.

Her long, jet-black hair draped down naturally like black satin, gleaming with a soft luster under the light. She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, pleasing to the eye.

Nan Weiwei stood aside, staring at Xiaomei with her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm.

She walked over and, like a professional fashion consultant, carefully helped Xiaomei change her outfit.

She carefully selected a simple yet fashionable dress, paired it with a pair of exquisite leather shoes and a small handbag.

After changing into her outfit, Nan Weiwei put her hands on her hips and looked Xiaomei up and down, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, it's absolutely perfect! Look at it, this outfit is like it was tailor-made for you. It's perfect for you!"

Xiaomei also thinks it is very beautiful.

"You, from now on, you have to look at those makeup tutorials and learn more. You will definitely be able to learn it. Actually, makeup is not that difficult. I learned it bit by bit by myself."

As she spoke, she patted Xiaomei on the shoulder, her eyes full of encouragement and expectation, as if she had already seen Xiaomei becoming more confident and beautiful in the future.

Nan Weiwei deftly stuffed the pile of exquisitely packaged skincare and cosmetics into Xiaomei's arms. Her eyes held a hint of arrogance that refused to be refused, yet also a hint of concern. She said, "Here, dear, these are the skincare and cosmetics I picked especially for you! I put a lot of thought into them. I carefully selected each one, and they are definitely all good stuff!"

"Look, these are all big brands, the quality is guaranteed, and the effects are very good. I know you don't usually pay much attention to this aspect, but girls should still be nice to themselves! Don't just drink a bottle of Dabao all day long."

She continued, a hint of concern in her tone.

"These things aren't cheap, so you must remember to use them! Otherwise, it would be such a waste to just leave them there. It's just a complete waste of resources!"

As she spoke, she deliberately wrinkled her nose, as if she felt sorry that these treasures might be left unused.

Xiaomei only felt that the thing in her arms was heavy, as if she was holding an inestimable precious friendship.

Her cheeks instantly flushed, like the gorgeous sunset in the sky, and her eyes were full of shyness and gratitude.

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, her hands unconsciously clenching the bag in her arms, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and said in a voice choked with sobs, "Okay... Thank you, Weiwei. I... I'm so lucky to have good friends like you."

Xiaomei's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, but full of endless gratitude.

She knew in her heart that she would always remember Weiwei's kindness to her.

Niu Mengmeng started talking...
