195: Master of Disguise

The call ended.

Wang Qingxuan didn't start the car immediately. Instead, she casually tossed the black Honorary Membership Card into the storage compartment, then performed an action that Lin Yu hadn't anticipated at all.

She pulled down the sun visor in front of the driver's seat and, facing the small mirror on it, began... applying makeup.

No, describing it merely as applying makeup was no longer accurate enough.

This was practically a small-scale facial reconstruction project.

From a seemingly ordinary bag, she pulled out a makeup kit whose professional quality rivaled that of a Hollywood backstage setup.

Brushes, sponges, creams, and powders of various colors—everything was present.

Lin Yu sat in the back row, watching quietly.

He watched as Wang Qingxuan used a few strokes of contour to turn her originally soft jawline into something sharp and angular.

He watched her use highlights and contouring to restructure the bridge of her nose and her brow bones.

Her movements were astonishingly fast and incredibly precise; every stroke was perfect, performed without the slightest hesitation.

This was definitely not the daily makeup routine of an ordinary young lady.

This was a Skill.

A Skill capable of changing a person's entire demeanor—it was practically Disguise.

Lin Yu even had the illusion that she wasn't applying makeup, but rather sculpting her own face.

A few minutes later, Wang Qingxuan stopped working.

She ruffled her hair, making it look voluminous and messy, creating a deliberately casual feel.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Lin Yu in the back seat.

"Boss, how is it?"

Lin Yu's thoughts momentarily froze.

It was still the same face.

Her features hadn't changed, and her skin was still fair.

But the feeling of her entire presence had been completely overturned.

The original vibrant, showy female charm, imbued with the arrogance of a young lady, had vanished without a trace.

In its place was an androgynous handsomeness, carrying a hint of roguishness and charm.

Her facial lines were harder, and her eyes and brows had lost some of their softness, gaining a heroic edge.

Especially the way she intentionally raised her eyebrows and her playful smile—it made her look exactly like the center idol of a top boy band, the one best at teasing fans.

A living, breathing, supremely handsome guy who had walked right out of a comic book had just materialized out of thin air.

If he hadn't witnessed it himself, Lin Yu absolutely could not have connected this "handsome guy" in front of him with the previous Wang Qingxuan.

Girls' facial structures are inherently softer, and if the technique is solid, adopting a masculine appearance often results in a unique allure.

Wang Qingxuan herself was already a top-tier beauty, and with that foundation, this transformation was nothing short of explosive.

"You..."

For a moment, Lin Yu didn't know what to say.

Wang Qingxuan was clearly very pleased with his reaction.

She winked proudly. Performed by her current "male persona," this action didn't seem feminine at all; instead, it held a fatal attraction.

"Secret weapon," she said, tapping her face. "I practiced this for a long time, just waiting for the day I could use it."

After speaking, she grabbed a bag from the back seat and, right in front of Lin Yu, quickly changed into a loose, stylishly designed trendy hoodie.

The last vestiges of her femininity were perfectly concealed.

A complete and utter handsome guy who would make young girls scream was officially finished.

"Done!"

Wang Qingxuan restarted the sports car. The fiery red beast let out a low roar and merged into the city traffic.

Lin Yu leaned back in the seat, feeling a sense of "admiration" for a normal person for the first time.

He was starting to get curious about what Wang Qingxuan planned to do.

Soon, he had his answer.

While driving, Wang Qingxuan put on a Bluetooth headset and began issuing commands skillfully.

"Hello, florist? Yes, it's me. I need 999 Blue Enchantress roses delivered to the entrance of 'Times Embrace.' Now, immediately!"

"Remember, they must be the freshest ones, the kind with dew drops on the petals. Use Starry Sky Gauze for the wrapping, got it?"

She hung up one call and dialed another.

"Balloon company? How's the venue setup going? Pink and silver theme. I want a heart-shaped arch—the kind that floats!"

"And the banner! 'Congratulations to Fairy Lin Yao on her Happy Graduation!' The font needs to be elegant, with glitter!"

"Yes, the bigger the better!"

Lin Yu: "..."

The scene was already forming in his mind.

However, that wasn't all.

"Fireworks Team, are you in position? Wait for my signal. I want custom fireworks that spell out the letters 'LY' after they launch. Don't mess it up!"

"Also, where are the people I hired? Tell them to pretend to be passersby and hype up the atmosphere! The moment my sister appears, I want screaming and cheering!"

"Money is not an issue! The effect must be perfect!"

Call after call was made.

One increasingly outrageous instruction after another was issued.

Lin Yu sat in the back, transitioning from initial admiration to complete numbness.

Luxury car, flowers, balloons, banners, custom fireworks, and even extras... This scale of display, anyone who didn't know better would think a top superstar was proposing.

And all of this was just to pick up his sister from school.

A feeling of utter absurdity surged through Lin Yu's heart.

He even began to reflect on whether he had neglected his sister too much.

Look at Wang Qingxuan; now *this* was professionalism.

Then he thought about himself, who only knew how to transfer money or quietly resolve problems.

The difference in skill level was too vast.

However... Lin Yao's face appeared in Lin Yu's mind.

His sister appeared cool and reserved on the surface, acting like a little adult.

But deep down, she was no different from girls her age.

She liked pretty clothes, excitement, and being the center of attention and affection.

If such a huge spectacle were truly created, giving her massive face in front of all her classmates... she would definitely say things like, "That's too much," or "How embarrassing."

But inside, she would probably be ecstatic.

Thinking this, Lin Yu glanced at the "dazzlingly handsome" Wang Qingxuan in the driver's seat.

He had to admit a fact.

When it came to winning a girl's favor, women understood better how to "woo" women.

Just then, Wang Qingxuan ended the last call and flashed an "OK" sign at Lin Yu in the rearview mirror.

"Boss, everything is ready!"

The fiery red sports car executed a perfect drift and turned into the street leading to the "Times Embrace" Music Restaurant.

The next second, Lin Yu's vision was completely taken over by the sea of pink and silver interwoven ahead.

The commotion was truly massive.

"Boss, what about you?"

She looked through the window at the exaggerated pink ocean she had personally arranged outside, feeling uncertain for the first time.

"I... I'm supposed to be giving your sister a surprise!"

"If she sees you with me, won't my act as the 'Mysterious Suitor' be completely ruined?"

This was her first step in conquering Lin Yu's sister, a roundabout strategy to save the situation, and absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Lin Yu couldn't even be the thing that went wrong!
