Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 155 What do you see?

　　When Ying Sheng arrived at the scheduled place for the photo shoot she realized no one was there except the camera crew, make up artist and stylist.

Because Yan Mei wanted to make her more mysterious to the public she didn’t reveal who the face of her new collection was to the media. Also, because she didn’t want the news to leak, she arranged a private photo shoot for Ying Sheng.

She was ushered into a room where the make up artist was. 

”Hello darling!” Ying Sheng was greeted by a man. He was skinny and tall and had on a pair of black skinny jeans and black T-shirt.

His dark hair was styled up in the front and he had some piercing in the nose. 

”Hello.” Ying Sheng nodded politely. She didn’t want to cause problems for Yan Mei so she was really polite and respectful to the workers.

”How are you girl?!” The man squealed excitedly as if he and Ying Sheng were long term friends. But no, they just met.

”I’m good you?” Ying Sheng asked awkwardly. She was not used to people treating her so well in their first meeting.

”I’m fantabulous! After all, I get to perform my special magic on such a beautiful girl like you.”

Ying Sheng laughed at his enthusiasm. 

”Okay. Then let’s see what you got.” Ying Sheng said.

”Oh darling, I like you already and I don’t really like a lot of people!”  He said, winking at Ying Sheng.

He ushered Ying Sheng into a chair. 

”Miss Yan said she is going for something fierce, chic and elegant at the same time sexy. Let’s see if I can perform that magic.”

An hour and thirty minutes later,  Ying Sheng stared at herself in the mirror and blinked. She couldn’t believe the person staring back at her was her.  She had to admit she looked gorgeous.

Her usually long red hair was pinned into a knot at the back of her head showing her beautiful long neck. 

Ying Sheng felt so formal and elegant compared to her normal self. Her hand subconsciously went to her throat where a diamond garnet choker necklace laid.

A matching earrings sitting on her ears magnificently looked beautiful on her. Her face was contoured and she had a dark and sultry look; winger liner, bold lashes and dark red lipstick to complete the look.

”Oh my you look amazing!” The stylist beamed excitedly as he clapped his hands.

”You just made a gay man think about turning straight for you!” 

Ying Sheng just stared at herself as she exhaled sharply, her nerves were starting to act up and her palms began to sweat and feel hot.

”Are you nervous?” A soft voice asked,making Ying Sheng turn around. She stood up when she saw it was Yan Mei.

”Cousin-in-law.” Ying Sheng said as a faint blush made its way on her face.

Yan Mei nodded and smiled softly at her.

”You look beautiful.” 

Ying Sheng bit her lips and smiled, “Thank you.”

Yan Mei turned to look at the stylist who was waiting for Yan Mei to praise him but Yan Mei just ignored him.

She strode towards Ying Sheng and turned her around to look at her reflection in the mirror.

Yan Mei stood behind Ying Sheng and grabbed her shoulders gently.

”What do you see?” Yan Mei asked as she met Ying Sheng’s eyes in the mirror.

Ying Sheng swallowed and her lips curved into a sophisticated smile.

”A beautiful woman who isn’t me? I feel like this isn’t me. I’m not this elegant, chic and sexy.”

Ying Sheng said as she dropped her gaze in the mirror.

Yan Mei chortled when she heard Ying Sheng.

”Do you know why I chose you for this?” Yan Mei asked which made Ying Sheng frown in confusion.

”Why?” 

”When I first saw you I saw the same look I had when I was your age in your eyes. You feel like you don’t fit in and no one understands you. But that’s the beauty of being you.”

Ying Sheng’s frown deepened in more confusion.

”This whole thing is to  help you build your confidence and make you realize your self-worth, Ying Sheng. The woman in the mirror is you. You’re bold, sexy, chic, fierce and everything you want to be. It all depends if you’re ready to step out of that bad girl image you have built to protect yourself from society and find the real you.”

”Real me?” Ying Sheng murmured as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. 

”Yes, real you. So who are you, Ying Sheng?”

Yan Mei whispered softly in Ying Sheng’s ears

Suddenly the voice of the photographer sounded interrupting them.

”Show me who you are in front of the camera. Remember, have fun and just be you.”

Yan Mei said as she walked out of the dressing room.

Ying Sheng stared at Yan Mei’s back, falling in a deep thought.

’What does she mean?’

Ying Sheng was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt the stylist slipping a ring on her finger.

”Remember I’m cheering for you! I’m sure after this you would be a big sensation in the country. The born of a star!”

Ying Sheng chuckled and rolled her eyes at the stylist.

”Put one elbow on the table and gently touch your neck looking at the white board there.Then give your best savage look.”

The photographer instructed which Ying Sheng did perfectly. Even though this was her first time in front of the cameras she did exceptionally well listening to Yan Mei’s advice.

She didn’t try  to be someone she wasn’t. Or force to look her certain way. This was her, being bold, sexy, fierce and chic.

Ying Sheng spent the rest of the afternoon changing into different outfits and striking different poses.

Modelling was so difficult, sigh. Why do these girls go through all of this? Ying Sheng complained bitterly even though she was clearly enjoying herself in front of the camera.

Her favorite pose was her wearing a floppy big black hat covering half of her face and pearls necklaces adorning her throat.  She felt she exude elegance, sensual and mysteriousness.
