Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Chapter 104 More Wrinkles Are Coming

While applying a face mask with her eyes closed in the back seat of the car, Shi Wanmeng listened to Chi Yun's rambling, from complaining about how hard he had worked these past few days to how Shi Wanmeng was tormenting her and disrespecting his hard work.

Shi Wanmeng could only activate the automatic blocking system, occasionally making a couple of "uh-huh" sounds in response, without putting her heart into it or thinking about it at all.

Having spent so many days on set, Shi Wanmeng, whose scenes were numbered, asked for leave in advance, much to Wang Yixi's envy. Although she had also received an invitation to the banquet, as the female lead, she couldn't attend due to the filming schedule being tight these past few days.

Recalling the look in Wang Yixi's eyes when Chi Yun came to pick her up this morning, Shi Wanmeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chi Yun, who was pouring out her grievances, was so angry at her attitude that she almost fell over backwards. She raised her voice and said, "Did you even hear what I said?"

Shi Wanmeng: "Mmm."

Chi Yun: "..."

Upon arriving at the hotel next to the banquet venue, she found that the organizers had prepared a room for her in advance, and her makeup artist and stylist would be arriving soon.

Chi Yun had already taken Xiao hope out to discuss today's event schedule with the organizers, leaving Shi Wanmeng to rest alone in her room.

But she couldn't sit still any longer. Her nervousness was just an excuse, but now that she saw the dresses on the rack, her heart started pounding uncontrollably.

I wanted to take out my phone and use a secondary account to secretly check on my fans to relax, but instead, the group was filled with sighs and lamentations.

Time flies like a dream: There's still no word, it seems Wanmeng really isn't going.

Qiuqiu is 80 years old this year: If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go. Our Wanmeng is on set and probably won't have time either.

Your favorite hand cream: That's the theory, but looking at the cast of "Love Code," besides that one person, only our late-night dream remains unresolved. It doesn't leave a good feeling.

Fat Otaku Fairy: Exactly, especially someone's fans. They came again today, jumping around like monkeys. It's infuriating!

Cool and refreshing: Me too. It's mainly because I'm annoyed by Gu Ling's fans. Let her sister post photos today, what does it have to do with us?

Dreamy Little Girl: Sigh, to be honest, Wanmeng is only a newcomer this year. The entertainment industry is fiercely competitive, so let's all relax.

The fan club president misses you and dreams of seeing everyone in the group chat chatting every night. She really wants to say, "Don't worry, there's a surprise tonight," but she has to hold it in. It's so hard.

She only received confirmation yesterday from Shi Wanmeng's assistant that Wanmeng would be attending the banquet. The assistant gave her two spots and asked her to see if any of her own fan clubs could go to the event to take red carpet photos. They could go together, but the operation had to be kept secret.

Thinking of you every night, I dream about you every day. I'm still a junior in college. This is my first time being the president of a fan club. Although I found the requirements quite inexplicable, I still obediently complied. I sent a private message to a very active fan site and completed the task.

Shi Wanmeng was unaware of what her manager was doing behind the scenes. Seeing her fans' low spirits, she felt bad and couldn't help but speak up.

Sleeping soundly until dawn: Calm down, maybe there will be a surprise today?

Unfortunately, only a few people replied to her post, telling her not to be too optimistic. Some even accused her of being an undercover agent from the rival company, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

However, these words gave the fan club president a fright. She quickly opened her homepage and looked at it again and again, seriously suspecting that she was some kind of staff member.

Seeing the reactions in the group chat, Shi Wanmeng angrily threw her phone on the sofa. The tension was gone, but she was still furious.

Still unwilling to give up, Shi Wanmeng picked up her phone, ready to fight back, when Chi Yun came in with a makeup artist and stylist.

"Come on, everyone, please come quickly, Wanmeng, let's hurry up and do the makeup test."

Chi Yun saw that Shi Wanmeng was still sitting on the sofa playing on her phone at this hour, so she quickly urged her to hurry up.

Upon hearing Chi Yun's voice, Shi Wanmeng reluctantly put down her phone, walked to the dressing table, and sat down. The stylist and makeup artist immediately got busy, while Chi Yun stood aside and watched.

Looking at Shi Wanmeng's face, Chi Yun asked softly, "What's wrong? Have you gotten two more wrinkles?"

Shi Wanmeng instantly lost her composure and burst into laughter, prompting the makeup artist to exclaim repeatedly, "Don't move! Ah, the makeup is crooked!!"

She quickly whispered an apology, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down to cooperate with the makeup artist.

The stylist was led to the clothes rack. Although she had seen the photos before, she was still very surprised to see the actual item: "Brother Chi, you're amazing! You even managed to get the latest design from Manyun. This dress is so beautiful. You must have gone to a lot of trouble to get it."

Chi Yun scratched his head awkwardly, wanting to say that it had fallen from the sky and that he hadn't contributed anything.

After admiring the dress, the stylist carefully hung it back on the hanger, then looked at Chi Yun with anticipation in her eyes.

"Brother Chi, I'm really curious to see how Wanmeng will look in this dress."

Chi Yun smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too, but that depends on you."

The stylist immediately had his assistant bring over the two large suitcases he had been carrying and opened them, saying, "We'll try them on slowly after she finishes her makeup."

Chi Yun peeked out and felt like her eyes were about to be blinded: "Wow, so many jewels, where did you get them?"

When the two boxes were opened, they revealed layers upon layers of jewelry boxes, containing green jadeite, white moonstone, pearls, and diamonds—a true demonstration of what it means to be glittering with precious stones.

As the stylist fiddled with the jewelry, she said, "Ever since I saw the picture of this dress you sent me, I've been thinking about what kind of jewelry could match it. I went through so much trouble to get these, so we'd better be careful tonight. We can't afford to lose even one of them."

Chi Yun smiled and nodded, but inwardly he was shouting, "Sure enough, this is how class is elevated!"

Not long after, the tightly closed dressing room door slowly opened, and Shi Wanmeng, who had finished her makeup, walked out. She was already extremely beautiful, but now she was even more stunning. Her skin was as white as snow, and the light blush made her face look like a peach blossom. Her pair of big, watery eyes sparkled, as if they could speak.

The makeup artist followed them out, clearly pleased with her work: "Let's leave it like this for now. You guys try on the clothes, and I'll touch up the details later."

"This isn't finished yet?" Chi Yun couldn't tell at all that this was only a half-finished product.

His reaction pleased the makeup artist, making her very proud: "Of course, although our Wanmeng is indeed very beautiful, we only know the overall style after trying on the clothes, and we still need to make some minor adjustments."

The stylist rushed over, pulled Wanmeng to the mirror, and handed her the dress: "Put this on, my goodness, Wanmeng, you're sure to be the center of attention tonight."

Shi Wanmeng took the dress and changed with the help of the stylist. The gorgeous skirt spread out, adorned with sparkling rhinestone tassels, giving her a noble and charming aura.

Chi Yun held his breath, utterly amazed by the scene before him.
