Chapter 75: Chapter 75: When I pretend to be a fake husband_1
The next day, early morning.
Warm sunlight filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow on the soft, large bed.
Ouyang Bingbing stretched languidly like a kitten, yawned, and sleepily opened her eyes.
Last night, after Qin Feng returned to his room, she had stayed awake for most of the night, waiting for him to knock on her door.
She even quietly left a crack in the door, which was previously bolted shut.
If Qin Feng wanted to, he could have sneakily slipped in at any time.
But the damned guy didn’t make a peep all night.
In the wee hours, Ouyang Bingbing simply couldn’t hold out any longer and fell asleep.
She had thought that upon waking up, he would be in her bed.
Still, Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Ouyang Bingbing felt a bit angry. Was she really that lacking in charm?
At the same time, she found it somewhat amusing.
What was she, such a reserved girl, thinking about all day? Why was she always hoping that a wretched man would silently crawl into her bed?
Ouyang Bingbing washed her face and came to her senses.
She was immediately shocked when she saw her right hand.
The skin on her right hand was supple and radiant, making her look ten years younger.
Last night, after returning to her bedroom, she followed Qin Feng’s suggestion and applied the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream to the right side of her face, as well as her body and legs.
Looking in the mirror, she saw the same was true for her face.
Thirty-plus on the left side, and twenties on the right.
Curious, she quickly took off her nightgown and examined her entire body in the mirror.
Her body was now distinctly two-toned, as if it belonged to two different people.
The effect of the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream was simply miraculous.
The Youth-Keeping Cream she used before, although it maintained the appearance of an eighteen-year-old, felt fake.
It might have given the appearance of eighteen, but it didn’t look real, as if it were just makeup.
The Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream was different; the effect was from the inside out. It wasn’t just the skin that was youthful, but the entire body.
It made one look ten years younger, both inside and out.
From then on, she wouldn’t need to use any makeup anymore.
Excited, Ouyang Bingbing quickly opened her door and ran to find Qin Feng in the next room.
It was only upon reaching the doorway that she realized she had taken off her nightgown and was now completely naked.
So she hurried back to her room.
She had just put her nightgown back on when Qin Feng came over.
"How’s the effect?" he asked.
"What effect? Don’t you know how to knock? You just barge in without knocking, how rude!"
Qin Feng didn’t understand why she suddenly blew up at him.
But he never argued with a beautiful woman. So, bowing in apology, he said, "I’m sorry, Miss Ouyang!"
"Hmph!"
Ouyang Bingbing was still irritable.
When she hadn’t seen Qin Feng, he was all she could think about.
But as soon as he entered her room, she was filled with rage and wanted to vent her anger at him.
You’ve got to have a reason to be angry, right?
Ouyang Bingbing certainly couldn’t say that she was upset all night because Qin Feng hadn’t sneaked into her bed the night before!
So, grumpily, she extended both her arms and shouted.
"Look what you’ve done!"
Qin Feng first grabbed Ouyang Bingbing’s left hand, gently touching it with his fingertips.
Then, he grabbed her right hand and did the same.
After touching, he even brought her right hand to his nose and took a sniff.
Finally, he commented, "The effect isn’t bad, and the smell is okay too."
This series of actions directly infuriated Ouyang Bingbing.
"You’ve made my hands asymmetrical—one is white and tender, the other old and dark. I’m very angry right now, don’t you know? And you say the effect isn’t bad? Nonsense!"
"Anyway, you’re not going out to see anyone. Just apply some Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream to the old and dark side tonight, and by tomorrow morning, they’ll both look the same."
"Who said I’m not going out to see people? Even if I don’t, I still want to look beautiful! Look at my face, half in shadow, half in light, what does it look like?"
Qin Feng took a glance, then quickly pulled out his phone and started to snap pictures of Ouyang Bingbing’s face.
"What are you doing?" Ouyang Bingbing asked.
"Although we haven’t signed a formal contract yet, you’re now the spokesperson for Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream. So, I need to preserve this precious image of yours, so we can use it for the cream’s advertising later."
"Did I agree to be your spokesperson?"
"You mean you don’t agree?"
"To be a spokesperson for Huanmei Group, my annual fee is one hundred million. If you want me to endorse Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream, the yearly fee must be at least three hundred million!"
"Three hundred million? Miss Ouyang, aren’t you asking for a bit too much? Even if you sold me, I wouldn’t fetch three hundred million!"
"Sell you? That’s actually a good idea."
Ouyang Bingbing’s words left Qin Feng bewildered.
"What do you want to do? Who do you want to sell me to?"
"At the Xue Family’s young miss’s place, you’re only worth twenty million a month. You’ve been sold once already, so you’re just second-hand goods now. To sell for three hundred million is going to be difficult. So, it’s better if I just take you for myself!"
"What do you mean?"
"Although Zhen ran away because of you, he will definitely come back. There’s no way I’m marrying into the Qin Family or marrying Qin Feipeng. So, I can endorse Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream, but in exchange, you have to be my fake husband!"
"Become a fake husband? Will you announce it officially?"
"What announcement?"
"Like, on Weibo or something, stating you have a husband and posting my photo."
"Don’t flatter yourself! This fake husband role is only for use as a shield when needed."
"Then you won’t tell Xiaochan, right?"
"Aren’t you in a fake marriage with her?"
"Even if it’s a fake marriage, there’s still a signed agreement! If I go and moonlight without telling her, that would be breaking the contract and could affect my twenty million a month income."
"You greedy bastard, you’ve really fallen for the money. I won’t tell anyone that you’re my fake husband, including Xiaochan. As for the Ouyang Family, don’t worry about them either. Even if they know I have a husband, they won’t speak out because if they do, I can’t marry into the Qin Family."
"How long do I have to play this fake husband?"
"Until I no longer need you."
"Then can I exercise a husband’s rights?"
"No way!"
Ouyang Bingbing flatly refused.
Although she didn’t mean it, Qin Feng took her seriously and couldn’t help feeling a bit dejected.
Winning this woman over doesn’t seem to be that easy!
Well, no rush.
Take it slow.
Suddenly, three words that appeared on Weibo’s hot search drew Qin Feng’s attention.
Youth-Keeping Cream?
Youth-Keeping Cream on the hot search?
What’s going on?
