Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 284 Who did it? Ning Yao's face

Zhao Xiaojing turned pale with fright after being slapped like that.

Little did she know that the rumored gentle and refined Tang Xiaoge would have such a violent temper.

Although they worked at the same company, she had almost no chance to meet Tang Xiaoge and knew nothing about his temperament, only learning about him from others.

"I...I know, but I didn't mean to ask you to give me special treatment. I just didn't want you to miss out on a good actor."

Tang Xiaoge stood up, no longer wanting to waste her precious time on mediocre people. She didn't even bother to say goodbye and left the conference hall directly.

Zhao Xiaojing wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Tang Xiaoge's manager and assistant.

"Teacher Zhao, Brother Xiao still has some things to take care of. If there's nothing else, please leave."

Zhao Xiaojing smiled apologetically, wanting to say something, but saw her assistant run out of the conference room as if avoiding her at all costs.

Zhao Xiaojing's face instantly fell. Was she really that disliked? All she did was recommend someone, why was it such a big deal?

Ning Yao returned to school with Cui Mengmeng. This time, she didn't stay in the dormitory but went directly to the teachers' apartment.

Having already fallen out with Wenna, Ning Yao didn't consider herself a pushover and didn't have the magnanimity to face Wenna.

Wenna's brother saved Wen Tingye's life, and in a sense, Wenna is a special person in Wen Tingye's heart.

Ning Yao wouldn't be foolish enough to compete with Wen Tingye's comrade's sister for his affections, especially since Wen Tingye had no interest in Wen Na at all.

Wenna and Wen Tingye knew each other much earlier. If there were anything between them, they would have been together long ago, wouldn't they?

A few days later, the production team notified Ning Yao to come and take character photos. Ning Yao got up early and set off, with Cui Mengmeng accompanying her.

Upon arriving at Xingji Entertainment, the receptionist already recognized Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng, greeted them warmly, and let them through.

There were already many staff members busy in the shooting hall. When Ning Yao arrived, someone came forward to greet her politely.

The makeup artist led Ning Yao into the dressing room and began applying her makeup.

Ning Yao has a good foundation and doesn't need to cover up her flaws. She only needs to maximize the advantages of her facial features and match the characteristics of the character, which will make her charming and graceful.

As soon as the base makeup was finished, the makeup artist touched Ning Yao's skin with her fingers and let out a sigh from the depths of her soul.

"Miss Luo, your skin is so beautiful! What skincare routine do you usually use?"

"Go to bed early and get up early, use face masks, and eat more fruits and vegetables," Ning Yao casually replied.

She couldn't very well tell the makeup artist that her skin was nourished by something called the Space Spirit Spring.

"What brand of skincare products are they? And face masks too. I'd like to buy some to try at home." The makeup artist's knowledge of cosmetics and skincare products was certainly no less than Ning Yao's, but she still asked humbly.

"Hmm, it's a homemade face mask; you can't buy it outside."

"I see, that's a pity." The makeup artist smiled and didn't take it to heart.

However, he secretly made up his mind to cultivate a good relationship with Luo Xiyao.

Who knows, Luo Xiyao might be generous and even give her a few personalized face masks.

The makeup artist applied makeup to Ning Yao with even greater care, using all her best skills without any sloppiness.

Ning Yao wasn't the only female artist in the dressing room. Today was the day for the crew's costume fitting photos. Besides Ning Yao, there were several supporting actresses. Meanwhile, the male lead, actor Tang, was in his own private dressing room, surrounded by two or three makeup artists serving him.

"Sister Lin, are you done on your end? I haven't even started my makeup yet..."

A sweet, coquettish woman's voice rang out, catching Ning Yao off guard. She immediately got goosebumps all over her body and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Ning Yao saw a female celebrity she had never seen before.

Sister Lin is a thoughtful and quick-witted person. After hearing the voice on the other end, she smiled and said a couple of words in response.

"It will be ready soon, please wait a little longer, Miss Zhao."

"That's Zhao Xiaojing's niece, Zhao Peier, she's the fourth female lead in our production team."

As if afraid that Ning Yao wouldn't recognize who the other person was, Sister Lin thoughtfully gave her a brief introduction.

So she's Zhao Xiaojing's niece. No wonder, birds of a feather flock together...

Ning Yao's beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed for only a brief moment before quickly returning to normal.

"Her makeup is easy to apply, Sister Lin, don't bother with her, help me first. I've been feeling a bit hot lately, and my skin isn't in good condition. I've got a lot of pimples, and if I don't deal with them soon, they won't be able to be covered up later." Zhao Peier urged again.

A flicker of impatience crossed Sister Lin's face, but she was over thirty and considered a veteran employee of the studio. She had seen all sorts of artists, and many were difficult to please, so she was used to it.

"You go ahead first, I'm not in a hurry, I can finish the rest of my makeup myself." Ning Yao was very easy to talk to, giving Sister Lin a way out so that she wouldn't be caught in the middle.

“This…” Sister Lin murmured, her face full of apology.

How can you let the female lead do her own makeup?

If the results aren't good, Actor Tang will definitely cause her trouble, since he's personally producing this time.

"If you don't like my makeup after I put it on, you can just touch it up for me. It won't take much time."

"Alright then." Sister Lin had no choice but to follow Ning Yao's advice, since Ning Yao's natural features didn't really need much embellishment.

Zhao Xiaojing is considered a veteran in the industry, and her niece has some connections, so she can't be neglected, otherwise her life at Xingji Entertainment will be difficult.

Before leaving, Sister Lin said to Ning Yao with a slight apology, "I have a batch of nice cosmetics. They're on the far right of the table at the back. You can go and get them."

That was her private treasure; she wouldn't normally give it away to other celebrities. It's only because Luo Xiyao is a kind person that she was willing to give it away.

"Okay, thank you." Ning Yao said with a smile, her tone tinged with gratitude. She could tell that Sister Lin was genuinely kind to her.

Ning Yao watched as Sister Lin walked to Zhao Peier's side. Just then, Zhao Peier looked over, her eyes filled with a smug smile.

Ning Yao smiled slightly, calmly looked away, and got up to go to the table in the back row to get her cosmetics.

Cui Mengmeng happened to go out and buy some fresh seasonal bayberries. She washed them clean, and each one was round, plump, juicy, and refreshing.

She handed out a small basket to everyone in the crew's studio from the outer room. When she came into the inner room, she saw Ning Yao sitting alone in a corner, doing her own makeup. The makeup artist who had initially served Ning Yao had already been called to another female artist's side.

Seeing this, Cui Mengmeng felt somewhat unhappy.

She didn't want to give the makeup artist and the other female artist bayberries to eat. They bullied her Yao Yao, so they didn't deserve to eat bayberries!

Cui Mengmeng became increasingly unhappy as she thought about it. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by a clear, cold voice.

"Mengmeng, come over here." Ning Yao caught sight of Cui Mengmeng out of the corner of her eye and immediately raised her hand to call her over, lest she say something that would make Sister Lin uncomfortable.

"What's going on? How can they leave the female lead to do her own makeup alone?"

"Hmm? Are you looking down on my makeup skills?" Ning Yao pouted, making a displeased face, like a child arguing with an adult, looking cute and lovable.

Cui Mengmeng was amused by her appearance and took out a clean bayberry, giving it to Ning Yao to eat.

"How could I look down on your makeup skills? My artist is an all-rounder, she's good at everything!"

"Then don't say anything more, go and divide up the bayberries, and send some to Sister Lin and Zhao Peier as well."

"No, why should they get to eat bayberries even though they bully you? It's your business if you're kind-hearted, but I bought the bayberries, so I'm not giving them to you."

Ning Yao had no choice but to let Cui Mengmeng continue applying makeup in front of the mirror.

I don't know why, but after applying these cosmetics to my face, I always feel a little itchy, and something feels a bit uncomfortable.

Ning Yao thought it was a matter of tolerance and didn't take it to heart, until Cui Mengmeng looked up and saw her face, and was so frightened that she stood up from her chair.

"Yaoyao, your face... what happened to it?"
