SDS: Chapter 72
"The Young Master Steals the Spotlight"
Han Qiuqiu stared, captivate.
He quickly pulled Tang Keyi in front of the mirror, clapping his hands in
admiration.
"I knew it! You would look amazing in this!"
Tang Keyi pointed at his chest.
"But it's flat here."
"There are padding inserts inside. Don't poke around, or they might dent. That would be awkward"
Han Qiuqiu said, swatting Tang Keyi's hand away.
Han Qiuqiu placed a black choker around Tang Keyi's neck, concealing his Adam's apple and adding a mysterious aura to his overall look.
"Ta-da! Look what this is!"
Han Qiuqiu produced a black, indistinct object from the side.
"Is this... a wig?"
Tang Keyi looked horrified.
"Don't tell me it's for me."
"Not only the wig, but I'm also going to do your makeup!"
Han Qiuqiu said, placing the wig on Tang Keyi's head.
Instantly, a beautiful person with long black wavy hair appeared in the mirror.
"I haven't agreed to wear this dress yet!"
"Come on! You're clearly tempted!"
Han Qiuqiu continued to encourage.
"Why not put on the makeup and see? With makeup on, if I don't say anything no one will recognize you. When you appear before everyone, you'll instantly outshine Chu Minmin, take her title of Capital's Number One Beauty and see what she'll have left to approach Qin Zhiyan with."
Tang Keyi wavered. hesitantly saying,
"Then... let's try the makeup?"
Under Han Qiuqiu's skilled hands Tang Keyi's eyebrows were thinned, eyeliner was applied, eyelashes were curled, blush was swept on, and finally lipstick was applied.
Han Qiuqiu even put two diamond ear clips on Tang Keyi.
The current Tang Keyi was stunning enough.
"Tang Keyi, if you were really a girl. I'm afraid you'd turn me straight"
Han Qiuqiu said, helping Tang Keyi stand up.
Tang Keyi stared blankly at the mirror.
The person now truly didn't look like a man.
Even he himself didn't recognize himself, let alone others.
A mischievous thought suddenly crossed Tang Keyi's mind.
Qin Zhiyan said he didn't care about looks.
Even if he wasn't interested in Chu Minmin.
What about this woman's face so similar to his own?
Would Qin Zhiyan be moved?
Tang Keyi made his decision.
"Alright! Qiuqiu, tonight I'll be your male companion!"
"No, female companion. Miss Tang,"
Han Qiuqiu corrected, even going so far as to flirtatiously hook a finger under Tang Keyi's chin.
"Don't rub off my foundation" Tang Keyi reminded him.
"Tang Keyi, aren't you embarrass?"
Han Qiuqiu was rather speechless.
Tang Keyi: The truth stings.
As soon as Tang Keyi entered, he attracted everyone's attention.
Even though Tang Keyi was long accustomed to all sorts of stares, his current attire made it impossible for him to remain as composed as usual.
"Qiuqiu, I think I'm a bit nervous"
Tang Keyi whispered, linking arms with Han Qiuqiu and subtly pinching his arm.
"Don't pinch me, it hurts! What's there to be nervous about? They're just stunned by your beauty and can't look away!"
"Sorry, I couldn't control my strength when I got nervous. Do you think others will recognize me? Also, have you seen Qin Zhiyan?"
"With Qin Zhiyan's status, he's probably at the main hall attending the Chu family's centennial founding banquet. He won't come over this early even if he does. Who knows, he might not even come if he's not interested in Chu Minmin"
Han Qiuqiu explained.
"Someone is bound to come strike up a conversation later. We'll just say you're a distant relative of the Tang family."
"Alright, alright."
Tang Keyi saw many familiar faces, their eyes overflowing with admiration.
He wondered what expression Qin Zhiyan would have when he saw him?
"That person isn't Chu Minmin, is she? Do all good-looking people look alike? Why do I feel she looks a bit like Tang Keyi?"
"It's not Chu Minmin. Seeing she came with Han Qiuqiu, she's probably some relative of the Tang family."
"How come I haven't heard the Tang family has such a beautiful young lady? If this young lady is already this stunning, how beautiful must Chu Minmin, the Capital's Number One Beauty, be?"
"I've seen Chu Minmin's photo. In my opinion, Chu Minmin probably loses. Instead of guessing here, why don't we just go ask?"
With that, the two took two glasses of champagne from a table and walked over to Han Qiuqiu.
"Young Master Han, you just arrived, haven't you? Have a glass of champagne first."
"Thank you."
Han Qiuqiu took the champagne, thinking,
These guys have ulterior motives.
"This glass is for the young lady. May I ask the young lady's name?"
Han Qiuqiu handed his own glass of champagne to Tang Keyi before taking the other one.
He explained,
"She's a distant relative of the Tang family, technically Tang Keyi's cousin.
Her family is in Nancheng, and she recently arrived in the capital. Since Tang
Keyi isn't coming today, and I needed a companion, Tang Keyi asked me to bring
his cousin along to have some fun."
Tang Keyi and Han Qiuqiu had already rehearsed this story, ensuring there were no flaws.
The two men suddenly understood.
"No wonder she looks a bit like Young Master Tang."
One of them even said enthusiastically,
"Cousin, don't be shy. We're all good people, good friends with Young Master
Tang. We'll take good care of you."
Tang Keyi pitched his voice higher and said softly,
"Thank you."
"By the way, what's the cousin's name?"
Han Qiuqiu answered,
"Her name is Tang Ketian. She's quite gentle and shy. Don't pester her too
much."
I'm afraid Tang Keyi might not be able to resist throwing a punch at you.
As more and more people came to strike up conversations, everyone soon learned that the Tang family had a beautiful distant relative.
Chu Minmin hadn't even appeared yet, and Tang Keyi was already tired.
"We shouldn't have come this early."
"Stay here for a bit. I need to use the restroom"
Han Qiuqiu said, handing his champagne glass to Tang Keyi.
"I'll go with you."
"Are you crazy? I'm going to the men's room. It's not suitable for you to go now" Han Qiuqiu reminded him.
"Alright then"
Tang Keyi said helplessly.
"Hurry back."
"Got it. If anyone tries to talk to you, just smile and don't say anything."
Tang Keyi nodded, watching Han Qiuqiu walk away.
As soon as Han Qiuqiu entered the corridor outside the restroom, he ran into someone.
It was Song Ailun.
Han Qiuqiu initially wanted to pretend he didn't see him and walk straight past, but Song Ailun spoke first.
"Young Master Han, also here for the restroom?"
That one sentence ignited Han Qiuqiu's short temper.
Han Qiuqiu stopped, rolled his eyes, and said
"If I'm not here for the restroom, am I here to eat like you are?"
