I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Generosity_1

Mrs. Ma found herself feeling much more at peace about placing the necklace away as she pondered these thoughts, and Kang Yue could finally breathe a sigh of relief as she watched.

At last, a step forward had been taken. "Sister, now that you’ve given me this necklace directly, I definitely need to chat with you a bit more, even though I was too embarrassed to speak up earlier.

On one hand, I felt that we were not that familiar with each other yet, and on the other, it didn’t seem right to discuss these matters with you right after we just met. But now, I really can’t hold back. It’s because you gave this to me that I have the courage to speak my mind."

Mrs. Ma found herself too shy to even know how to begin, but after much deliberation, she decided it was best to voice her desires. After all, it was she who wanted them—it wouldn’t be right to leave everything in the hands of others. If she managed to secure a specific location, then wouldn’t she also be able to sport such hairstyles and makeup?

It was simply marvelous to imagine attending her lady friends’ gatherings, where she would undoubtedly receive praise and become the object of a deluge of envious stares. With such thoughts, she couldn’t help but swell with delight.

"What exactly is it?" Kang Yue was startled for a moment upon hearing this but then quickly considered Mrs. Ma might have some matters she wanted to inquire about. "Mrs. Ma, just speak your mind, and I’ll tell you everything."

"Sister, I was just wondering where you got your hair done? And which master graced your face with makeup? It suits your face shape and image so well. I’ve seen many wealthy persons here, but this is the first time I’ve seen such beautiful curls.

And your makeup is not that simple, fresh kind—what stands out is the red lipstick. I really think it suits you. I’d love to meet this designer to see if an introduction might be possible. If I could get a good styling in the future, I’d surely repay your kindness, sister. What do you say?"

As Mrs. Ma spoke these words, she did so with a touch of embarrassment. Usually, wealthy individuals are reluctant to reveal their personal designers and makeup artists for fear that other ladies might outbid them and then the stylists would solely belong to the highest bidder. Losing a good stylist to someone else could infuriate any woman. That’s why everyone keeps tight-lipped about their designers and stylists; they dread running into someone sporting the same makeup or hairstyle, which could easily provoke anger.

Unless they are especially close, such personal details are seldom shared, for fear of being poached. So now everyone is extremely cautious, and Mrs. Ma couldn’t help but ask because the hairstyle and makeup were simply too appealing, enough to make any woman’s heart race. Her inquiry was not too impolite under such circumstances.

Kang Yue thought it was something serious but realized it was just this. It seemed simple enough; just a matter of giving an answer, right? She initially wanted to say that the styling was her own doing, but then she feared that Mrs. Ma might take this as her being stingy for not revealing her makeup artist.

Such a response wouldn’t be very good. So she fell silent for a moment, pondering the best way to reply, making Mrs. Ma worry her own query might have been inappropriate.

Quickly dropping her smile, Mrs. Ma didn’t want this misunderstanding to spoil the relationship between their families. She hastened to add, "Oh, if it’s inconvenient to say, then never mind. I was just taken by its beauty and wanted to ask. It’s all right if you don’t want to share, sister, I won’t hold it against you. I asked because I see you as someone I can befriend."

Upon hearing this, Kang Yue, with a smile, replied, "What could possibly be inconvenient about that? Mrs. Ma, if it’s convenient for you, just come over to my house someday, and I will do the makeup and hairstyle for you. I actually put it together myself.

I was working on it upstairs, initially to see if Shen Dong would approve—if not, I was ready to fix it. But who knew Mr. Shen would decide on it in an instant? I reluctantly came out with this makeup, still lacking some confidence because, after all, it’s quite different from what many others wear.

I could’ve felt awkward, setting myself apart, becoming the odd one out. I didn’t really want to come, but my husband was strongly encouraging me, assuring me it looked quite nice. So I came in, rather fired up about it. Even when the gatekeeper gave me a look earlier, I felt underconfident. I never expected it truly looked good to others."

Mrs. Ma was even more astonished. So there were people who could design their own hairstyles and makeup? A rarity indeed. How wonderful it would be if she could do the same—no need then to sit idle at home, merely tending to flowers, gossiping, and sipping tea with her lady friends.

Such days were actually quite dull. Perhaps it was time she learned this art herself, to one day surprise her friends with a stunning entrance. The thought was already taking shape in her mind.

"Oh my, sister, what are you talking about? Your look is exceptionally beautiful. I was captivated by it from the moment I saw you. I was embarrassed, not sure how to approach you about it. It’s so awkward to ask, and then you revealed it so casually—I’m truly mortified."

Mrs. Ma found herself in this situation, speaking without requesting the contact details of a makeup artist.

"Mrs. Ma, if you really like it, we’ll find a time for me to come over and do the hairstyle and makeup for you. I was just afraid someone might dislike my work. If you don’t mind, I can arrange it immediately. It’s really quite simple; I managed it on my first try. I’ve even got the curling iron ready."

Kang Yue was indeed generous and willing to share. Seeing how genuinely interested Mrs. Ma was, acknowledging it wasn’t simply flattery to foster a closer bond—why wouldn’t she be willing to do it for someone who truly appreciated it?
