Chapter 159: Take It Easy

Shu Yu had a mysterious expression on her face. "Who says we need clothes to start a business? The clothing store doesn't just sell clothes."

"What else is there?" Ding Yuehua asked.

"Me," Shu Yu replied.

As soon as Shu Yu's words fell, Ding Yuehua and her maidservant stepped back in unison. "You... you want to sell yourself?"

Shu Yu replied, "...No, no, that's not what I meant. Don't be afraid. I didn't mean it literally."

She cleared her throat and continued, "I mean, my skills." She motioned for Ding Yuehua to sit back down and explained, "In addition to selling ready-made clothes, my shop also offers image design. What is image design? For example, if Miss Ding is attending an important banquet today, your attire and appearance should match the occasion. If Miss Ding plans to go out for a leisurely stroll, then you should dress in a refreshing and lively way. Of course, if Miss Ding doesn't want to meet someone today, we can also create a disguise and make you look completely different."

The last statement finally made Ding Yuehua burst into laughter. "Who would want to look like a completely different person?"

"You never know. Just like Miss Ding, even though you are a beauty, why do you dress up as a man?" Shu Yu replied.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Ding Yuehua's face faded, and she seemed visibly disappointed. "What kind of beauty am I?"

Shu Yu was surprised. "Do you have some misconceptions about yourself? If you're not a beauty, then who is?"

Ding Yuehua was taken aback, and Shu Yu frowned, saying, "However, your masculine attire does hide your appearance. It's a pity that the ready-made clothes haven't arrived yet; otherwise, I could have let you try them on."

Ding Yuehua's interest waned instantly. After all, everything Shu Yu said seemed insincere.

She said Ding Yuehua was beautiful, but immediately claimed that her appearance was concealed by the male clothing. She called it a clothing store, but there wasn't a single garment in sight.

Ding Yuehua felt like she had come here for nothing. She shouldn't have trusted the words written on the paper and impulsively sought out this shop that didn't even have a signboard.

She was about to leave when Shu Yu suddenly changed the topic and continued, "But it's fine. There are also designs for men's clothing. Miss Ding, if you don't mind, may I help you transform your appearance and see the result?"

Ding Yuehua was taken aback and asked uncertainly, "In... in men's clothing?"

Shu Yu nodded. "Of course."

Ding Yuehua hesitated for a moment, curiosity in her heart, and eventually nodded hesitantly.

Shu Yu said, "Wait a moment."

She got up and went into the house, returning shortly with a bulging bag.

Ding Yuehua didn't know what was inside, but she watched as Shu Yu opened the bag and took out rouge, powder, eyebrow pencils, lip color, and many other things she had never seen before.

Shu Yu looked at the sky and saw that there was still some daylight left. However, she still lit a few candles to make the lighting brighter.

Then, she went to fetch a basin of water and wrung a clean cloth, asking her maidservant to help wash Ding Yuehua's face.

After Ding Yuehua's face was dry, Shu Yu opened a ceramic box and said to Ding Yuehua, "Your face is clean now. Let me apply some moisturizing face cream for you. This one is purchased from the rouge shop nearby. Take a look and if you find it unsuitable, I can switch to another one."

Ding Yuehua looked at the ceramic box and knew that this face cream was not cheap. She nodded immediately, feeling somewhat nervous for some reason. "You... you can use it."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Relax."
