Stockpiling for an Exiled General Through My Store's Back Door

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Listening in Fascination

The faint warmth from the pads of Hua Buwan’s fingers felt like currents of electricity, continuously transmitting into his heart. His once calm, mirror-like heart rippled wave after wave, unable to settle for a long time.

Just as Ling Qianjun was immersed in this subtle sensation, Hua Buwan suddenly noticed his eyes darting around constantly, his long eyelashes fluttering as if startled. She immediately put on a stern face. ”Don’t move around!”

Though her tone was strict, it carried an imperceptible hint of gentleness.

Ling Qianjun’s heart skipped a beat. Instantly abandoning any distraction, he replied with a guilty conscience, ”I’m sorry.”

At that moment, Xu Panqing, Ling Yunge, and Ling Qianfan were lost in their own thoughts, but the sudden apology snapped them back to reality like a clap of thunder. Everyone looked at Hua Buwan in unison before shifting their gazes to Ling Qianjun. For a moment, no one dared to speak rashly.

Not long after, Hua Buwan finished applying Ling Qianjun’s makeup. The dashing and graceful young man had completely transformed into a sallow, inconspicuous middle-aged man. If he were tossed into a bustling street, it would be impossible for anyone to recognize his true identity.

Hua Buwan smiled as she gently handed the mirror to Ling Qianjun. ”Here, take a look at yourself. Are you satisfied? If there’s anything you’re not happy with, just say the word, and I can make some adjustments.”

At this moment, the Ling family members all widened their eyes, staring intently at Ling Qianjun. Shock was written all over their faces, as if they were witnessing something unbelievable. The room was so quiet that only their gasps and slightly hurried breathing could be heard.

Ling Qianjun carefully took the mirror. When he fixed his eyes on his reflection, even with his normally strong psychological fortitude, he was quite startled at first glance. However, he quickly regained his composure mere moments later.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Qianjun said slowly, ”I’m satisfied. Very satisfied.”

It had to be said that this carefully crafted middle-aged disguise complemented Hua Buwan’s own getup perfectly, making them look like a match made in heaven.

”Then get up, I need to start on the next person!” Hua Buwan said, nodding with a bright smile. She then turned her head and waved enthusiastically at Ling Qianfan. ”Qianfan, come here quickly! It’s your turn!”

Hearing this, Ling Qianjun hurriedly stood up and stepped aside to make room. Ling Qianfan swiftly took his place.

Seeing Ling Qianfan’s comical expression—grinning from ear to ear, showing all his white teeth like a goofy husky—Hua Buwan tried hard to hold back her laughter, but the corners of her mouth kept uncontrollably turning upward.

She remembered that she hadn’t yet answered the question Ling Qianfan had asked earlier. Clearing her throat, she spoke up. ”Actually, this Disguise Technique doesn’t just change your appearance. Even your height can be adjusted at will! As for how exactly to do it, well, there are many methods.”
