### Chapter 162: Similar Lipstick Shades

At that moment, in the Emperor Group's office.

Lu Nansen lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed, rubbing his chin with one hand, his eyes narrowing mysteriously.

"Impossible. How could Little Sister-in-Law have no reaction at all? No text messages or calls yet?"

Lu Nansen asked, clearly puzzled.

Huo Tingying's narrow eyes darkened as he glanced at him, sneering, "Ha, a seasoned player."

Lu Nansen scratched his head awkwardly. "This might be because Little Sister-in-Law thinks differently from other girls, leading to a different outcome. But this doesn't negate my years of experience. Perhaps she didn't even notice it was lipstick."

"How could she, an actress, not recognize lipstick?" Huo Tingying said coldly.

"Did you talk about it at all, or did Little Sister-in-Law try to probe you with words?"

"No," Huo Tingying gritted out between clenched teeth.

Lu Nansen felt a headache coming on.

"That's odd. Even if Little Sister-in-Law is dense, any woman would suspect infidelity upon seeing unfamiliar lipstick in her husband's car and start sticking close to him, checking up on him, and feeling threatened!"

Lu Nansen expounded his theories, never expecting Yun Mu to act so unpredictably.

Feng Shuo, listening nearby, felt a bit disdainful.

"Master Lu, have you considered the possibility that our Young Lady might feel betrayed by the lipstick and distance herself from our Young Master?"

Those words struck like thunderbolts!

It wasn't impossible...

"You've done it now!" Huo Tingying kicked Lu Nansen hard and then turned to Feng Shuo. "Is there any way to fix this?"

Feng Shuo thought for a moment and suggested, "The best approach now is to indirectly inform the Young Lady about the lipstick's origin and explain everything clearly."

"Indirectly?"

Feng Shuo nodded. "Ideally, pin it on someone else to salvage the Young Master's image."

He glanced meaningfully at Lu Nansen.

"Good idea!" Huo Tingying stood up, patting Feng Shuo on the shoulder. "Much more reliable than some seasoned player."

Lu Nansen, "... You... fine, I'm useless, I'll leave!"

He glared resentfully at Feng Shuo before leaving.

Before he left, Huo Tingying called him back.

"Did you add Wen Qingqing's contact? Ask her about Yun Mu's schedule; when will she return to the capital?"

Lu Nansen gritted his teeth and went to the balcony to make a call.

But after Lu Nansen left, Huo Tingying suddenly realized something.

There was unfamiliar lipstick in his car, yet his wife showed no reaction, not even asking a single question.

Was she too confident, or did she simply not care?

Huo Tingying couldn't figure it out.

He had previously wanted to kill a man just for talking to her, but Yun Mu didn't seem to care if he had another woman.

It seemed...

To win his wife's unwavering loyalty, he still needed to work harder!

As Huo Tingying sighed, Lu Nansen returned after finishing his call.

"Wen Qingqing said the production team is pushing ahead, so Little Sister-in-Law might not come back for a month."

Huo Tingying frowned. "Then I'll go."

Lu Nansen continued, "Wen Qingqing also said not to disturb Little Sister-in-Law while she's filming. She wants to focus on her work, which is also Little Sister-in-Law's wish."

Indeed!

She was angry!

Huo Tingying suddenly looked at Lu Nansen with a glare.

Lu Nansen shuddered, sensing danger, and quickly fled.

...

That day, the production team moved to City A.

In the afternoon, they took a half-day break and gathered for a meal together.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Wen Yi, who had just returned from abroad and came to visit Qin Ming on set. It was rumored that they were seniors and juniors during their music studies overseas.

"I didn't expect Senior to collaborate with Miss Yun. I saw your costume photos earlier; you look very intimate, quite like a couple."

Everyone present remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Wen Yi's words sounded somewhat strange.

Wen Yi turned her gaze and gave Yun Mu a meaningful smile. "Miss Yun, did I say something wrong? You've been staring at me."

"No, Miss Wen's lipstick shade today is very beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qingqing, who had been pretending to be invisible, glanced at Yun Mu and noticed her contemplative stare at Wen Yi's lipstick. She was slightly surprised.

No way, could the lipstick shade Yun Mu mentioned in Huo Tingying's car be the same one Wen Yi is wearing today?

This shade is very picky about skin tone, and it's also a niche color that has been unpopular in recent years. Few girls would use it.

Is this really just a coincidence?

"Thank you for the compliment. This is a new shade I recently switched to. It's out of stock domestically. If Miss Yun likes it, I can have someone bring one from abroad for you," Wen Yi said calmly.

Yun Mu raised an eyebrow and replied, "No need. I don't like this color; it's bland and tasteless."

Wen Yi's face turned slightly unpleasant.

The others present exchanged glances, trying to smooth things over.

Wen Yi had stayed abroad for quite some time, watching from afar, but chose to return now, presumably because she thought Yun Shuiyao was out of the picture and it was her turn to step in.

Second Green Tea, do you truly believe I am unable to discern your intentions towards Huo Tingying?

Despite everyone's attempts to ease the tension, when the two women locked eyes, it felt as if sparks were about to fly.

Just then, the restaurant door opened.

A gust of cold wind swept in, instantly dissipating the tension between them.

Yun Mu slightly turned her gaze. Seeing the familiar figure, she didn't feel happy; instead, she grew even angrier.

Both of them arriving in City A one after another—another coincidence?

Or was it prearranged!

"President Huo, did you come specifically to visit your wife? Come and sit!"

Wen Qingqing immediately spoke up loudly, emphasizing the word "wife."

The person who entered was none other than Huo Tingying.

He wore a black suit with a tie, his handsome face exuding a sharp aura, suggesting he had just come from a formal event.

Yun Mu instinctively glanced at Wen Qingqing.

She knew without a doubt that it must have been Wen Qingqing, the traitor, who informed Huo Tingying about her whereabouts.

The atmosphere at the table froze.

An Junshan quickly stood up to greet him. "President Huo, please sit down, please sit down!"

From the moment Huo Tingying entered, his eyes were fixed only on Yun Mu.

He pulled out a chair with one hand, sat down beside her, and took a sip from her water glass.

"You can continue your conversation. I just dropped by to see my wife."

Everyone teased, wondering if President Huo was a devoted husband!

Yun Mu ignored Huo Tingying and turned to Wen Yi, saying, "I suddenly remembered where I've seen this lipstick shade before..."

She turned her clear, penetrating gaze to Huo Tingying and smiled lightly. "There seems to be one in your car. Since Miss Wen likes this color, why don't you go get it and give it to her? After all, it's out of stock domestically."

Wen Qingqing: "...
