Chapter 566 A Beautician's Daily Life
Cloud Dance · Private Space

Inside the 150-square-meter main dance studio, the lights are bright, and classical Chinese instrumental music drifts through the air.

"Okay, that's a good shot, Qianqian."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wan."

Zhao Yaqian took the phone and carefully reviewed the video she had just recorded.

In the video, she appears graceful, with focused eyes and fluid, continuous movements; she is very beautiful.

A happy smile spread across her face, and she immediately shared the video with her boyfriend.

Fingers flew across the screen, typing messages with rapid "click-click-click".

"You two are so loving, haha." Li Wan teased with a smile, "After seeing these videos and photos of you, your boyfriend definitely won't be able to concentrate on his work."

Zhao Yaqian blushed slightly and brushed her hair aside. "I just feel like I've 'achieved something' and wanted to show off a bit."

Li Wan said with a sweet smile, "Qianqian, you danced really well, and you were especially talented."

"Hehe, it's alright." Zhao Yaqian stuck out her tongue smugly.

It has been a full four months since I started dancing.

In the beginning, she was practically "born as a steel rod," unable to even do basic yoga; her body was as stiff as a pole.

But I don't know when it started, it seems like I suddenly got it, and my movements gradually became softer and smoother.

Muscle memory takes shape, rhythm improves, as if some unseen force has ignited his talent.

I learn everything very quickly and smoothly.

Now she can easily perform the entire dance routine and has even started to incorporate her own style.

Having a skill that you can be proud of naturally boosts your self-confidence.

"Yunwu Private Space" is a dance training studio. Its clients are all women, and they are all from a relatively high-end demographic.

During the few months she studied here, she got to know quite a few people.

Li Wan is one of them. She is very warm and proactive, and she is the one I am closest to.

Li Wan asked with a smile, "It's almost 4 o'clock, are you still going to continue practicing?"

"No, that's enough for today."

"How about we come to my shop for a while? How about some afternoon tea?"

“Emm…” Zhao Yaqian hesitated slightly.

"Come on, Qianqian, my flower shop isn't far from here. I haven't taken you there yet. The atmosphere is very cozy, and the afternoon tea is all handmade. Let's go try it."

Li Wan took her hand, her smile sweet, her tone conveying an irresistible warmth.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Sister Wan."

"Don't mention it, I really consider you a friend. Come on, let's go change your clothes first."

The two talked as they went into the dressing room, changed back into their everyday clothes, and picked up their bags.

Because the studio is located near the Yanjing Huating residential area, Zhao Yaqian walked there instead of driving.

The two went downstairs and got into Li Wan's BMW X3.

A dozen minutes later, we arrived at a quiet commercial area on the ground floor of a residential building.

Although Zhao Yaqian had known Li Wan for some time, this was her first time visiting her shop.

The shop, named "Yuanhuaju," is a boutique flower shop with a very warm and elegant decor.

Pushing open the glass door, a refreshing floral fragrance wafts out.

The natural wood display shelves are filled with various fresh flowers, dried flowers, and preserved floral arrangements, and there is also a comfortable tea break area in the corner.

"Wow, so beautiful," Zhao Yaqian exclaimed, her gaze lingering on the various flowers on the shelf.

Li Wan chuckled, "I'm glad you like it. You can come often in the future."

The shop assistant on duty quickly greeted him, "Boss."

Li Wan nodded and gestured for Zhao Yaqian to sit down on the sofa in the corner.

He personally brewed a pot of tea and then brought out several handmade macarons and fruit tarts from the inner room.

"Try this macaron, it's a limited edition rose flavor."

As she spoke, Li Wan pushed the exquisite dessert in front of Zhao Yaqian.

"Thank you."

Zhao Yaqian took the dessert, took out her phone, took a selfie, and shared it with Tang Song.

The message read: "Finished dancing? Came to a friend's shop for a chat. Brother Song, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll order online in advance."

Then, she shared the location of the flower shop.

Although Tang Song was very busy with "work" and they didn't meet very often, she would broadcast her location and itinerary on time every day.

"Buzzing—"

[Brother Song: "You can eat whatever you want, I'll go with you."]

Upon seeing the message, Zhao Yaqian immediately beamed with joy and happily sent a "love you" emoji.

Across from her, Li Wan's eyes flickered. She gently put down her teacup and said in a gentle tone, "Qianqian, do you know? Your current state is truly enviable."

Zhao Yaqian looked up, blinked, and asked, "Hmm?"

“You have love, money, someone who cares for you, and your own hobbies, even dancing so well.” Li Wan said sincerely, “Most importantly, your boyfriend is generous and willing to support you in doing what you love.”

"Sister Wan, you flatter me." Zhao Yaqian smiled lightly. "But... my boyfriend is indeed very good."

"Hehe." Li Wan chuckled softly, a shrewd glint in her eyes. "Of course, you're excellent too. You have a sophisticated beauty and a special kind of charisma, like a character straight out of a movie."

"Sister Wan, you're so good at praising people." Zhao Yaqian stuck out her tongue, lowered her head a little shyly, picked up a macaron and took a bite.

“I’m being sincere…” Li Wan said as she poured her a cup of tea, praising her wittily.

He not only praised Zhao Yaqian herself, but also frequently praised her boyfriend and their relationship.

Zhao Yaqian's smile never faded.

After a while.

Li Wan suddenly moved closer, adopting a more natural and intimate tone, "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart: women should have their own careers. While you're young and in your prime, build up some assets of your own. Having a powerful backer is good, but having your own trump cards is more important, don't you think?"

Zhao Yaqian paused, her heart skipped a beat, but she still smiled and said, "Sister Wan, what are you saying? I didn't quite understand."

Li Wan followed up by saying, "I have a project here that's currently in the early stages of fundraising, and it's quite stable. It's a sub-project of a city-wide cultural tourism initiative, focusing on customized services for mid-to-high-end women's communities."

Then, she took out a beautifully designed brochure from her bag. "We're in the early stages now, so the entry barrier isn't high, but the resources are very specialized, and the expected returns are quite good, with an annualized return of around 25%-40%..."

Zhao Yaqian listened quietly, her smile still on her face, but her eyes became wary.

When Li Wan finally stopped talking.

She suddenly raised her teacup, her expression curious, and asked, "Sister Wan, this tea is really delicious. Did you make it yourself?"

"Uh...yes, I did the voice acting myself." Li Wan was caught off guard by her roundabout way of speaking.

"Do you sell them in your store? I'd like to buy some for my boyfriend to drink."

Li Wan forced a smile and said, "We don't sell this in the shop, but I can give you some."

"I'm so sorry, why don't you tell me how to make it, and I'll try it later?" Zhao Yaqian took a sip of tea and looked at her with a sweet smile.

Li Wan's eye twitched, and she suddenly realized that she had misjudged this "little canary".

at this time.

The glass door of the flower shop was gently pushed open, and a tall, slender figure walked in.

"Welcome! How can I help you?" The female clerk at the front desk quickly stepped forward, and upon seeing the young man's face, her face flushed red, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"Looking for someone." The boy smiled and looked towards the tea break area in the corner.

Today, the beautician was dressed in a more professional outfit: a white blazer paired with a black pencil skirt and sheer stockings.

She sat sideways, her wine-red wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, and her long, slender, glossy wine glass-like legs gleaming softly in the sunlight.

Hear a familiar voice.

Zhao Yaqian was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly, "Brother Song! What brings you here?!"

Immediately, she stood up and ran into his arms.

Tang Song caught the beautician's tall and sexy body steadily, gently stroking her back with one hand, a doting smile on his face, "Of course I came to see you."

"Thank you, Brother Song~ Mua~ I'm so happy!"

Upon seeing the boy who suddenly appeared, Li Wan's face showed a look of astonishment, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Is this Zhao Yaqian's "boyfriend"?
With her experience, she could naturally tell that Zhao Yaqian was being kept by a sugar daddy.

I never expected that this sugar daddy would be so young and handsome.

Wearing a custom Kiton suit, he had a tall and well-proportioned figure, and his eyes were calm yet sharp.

Objectively speaking, considering both appearance and temperament, Zhao Yaqian is actually unworthy of the other party.

This is completely different from her previous guess.

She took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and greeted him with a smile, "This must be Qianqian's boyfriend, right? Hello, I'm Li Wan."

Tang Song released the beautician, turned his gaze to her, and politely replied, "Hello, I am Tang Song."

The moment their eyes met, Li Wan felt a sudden tightness in her heart.

What kind of eyes were those? Deep, reserved, clear, and calm.

A simple glance from him gave her the feeling that he had seen right through her.

An understated aura quietly spread.

Having spent many years navigating social circles and encountered numerous high-level individuals, she naturally possesses exceptional insight.

That sense of pressure and confidence wasn't built with money, but rather a control that emanated from the very core of his being.

It's the aura that only true "superiors" possess.

Even without speaking, they create a sense of distance and gap between people.

Li Wan swallowed hard, trying to maintain a smile, and said, "Hello."

He had already suppressed all those little actions and thoughts in his mind.

"Sister Wan, my boyfriend is here to pick me up, so I won't bother you any longer," Zhao Yaqian said with a smile as she picked up her bag.

"Oh, okay then." Li Wan realized what she meant and quickly walked to the tea break area, taking out an exquisite gift box from the drawer. "By the way, Qianqian, you like the tea I make, right? Take this new box back with you. Remember to come back for more when you're done. I have plenty here."

"Thank you, Sister Wan." Zhao Yaqian gladly accepted the gift, picked up her bag, and said, "We'll be going now."

"I'll see you off."

Li Wan forced herself to stay alert, pushed open the glass door, and accompanied the two out of the flower shop.

Immediately afterwards, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was seen parked quietly outside.

On one side of the car stood the tall, agile female driver with sharp eyes.

Seeing the three people come out, she nodded slightly and deftly opened the back door.

Zhao Yaqian waved to Li Wan and then got into the back seat of the car with Tang Song.

"Bang—" The car door closed.

With a deep, powerful engine roar, the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove away.

Li Wan stood there, feeling her palms grow cold and her heart race.

Terrified.

If she really thought Zhao Yaqian was a naive and innocent girl and tried to deceive her into investing, the consequences would be unimaginable.

……

Inside the quiet Rolls-Royce cabin.

Tang Song's slender fingers gently slipped between Zhao Yaqian's fingers, their ten fingers interlocked, and their palms pressed together.

"Where do you want to eat, Qianqian?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yaqian said expectantly, "How about... we go to Wanda Plaza? It's been so long since I've had that steak buffet."

Ever since she came to Yancheng and her cousin Tingzi took her to Wanda Plaza, she's been longing for that steak buffet.

She used to splurge a little after getting paid. "No problem." Tang Song smiled, pinched her cheek, and turned to Liu Jiayi.

When I turned around, I found the beautician staring at me intently.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the car window onto her face, outlining her delicate profile, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes.

Tang Song suddenly reached out and gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes with his fingertips.

Zhao Yaqian subconsciously smoothed the stray hairs at her temples, but did not look away.

Their eyes met in the air, and without a word, they could read the tenderness in each other's eyes.

After a moment, Zhao Yaqian smiled, lifted her bottom, kissed Tang Song's lips, and said, "Brother Song, you're so nice."

The car moved slowly, stopping and starting.

Outside the window, the ever-changing cityscape unfolds.

Zhao Yaqian leaned on his shoulder at some point and started rambling on about recent events.

"All branches of Isa Beauty have completed renovations, staff are in place, and all permits are in order. We will start offering light medical aesthetic treatments next week..."

"Sister Yurong took me to see several experts, and I also saw laser instruments and microneedling devices. It feels like the whole industry is upgrading..."

"I recently learned a classical Chinese dance and also bought a super beautiful Hanfu..."

Her voice was sweet and melodious, and when she was happy, she would unconsciously swing her legs, her low-heeled shoes drawing a small arc in the air.

Tang Song listened quietly, occasionally offering a few words of agreement.

...

Twenty minutes later, the Rolls-Royce drove into the Wanda underground parking garage.

Since it was still early, neither of them was hungry.

I simply started wandering around inside.

It was just past 5 p.m., and it was a weekday, so there weren't many people in Wanda Plaza.

Zhao Yaqian pulled Tang Song into the "Baby King" indoor playground on the third floor and went straight to the claw machine area.

The machine was filled with all kinds of plush toys, cheerful music and lights, creating a fun and childlike atmosphere.

Zhao Yaqian exchanged fifty yuan for game tokens, stood in front of a machine, pointed at a pink and white rabbit doll inside, determined to win.

"This time it'll definitely work... this time... let's try again... oh no, it fell off again!"

She wasn't very lucky; she tried to catch the rabbit more than 30 times without success, and it kept slipping away.

Tang Song smiled as he took the control lever, and with a casual grab, the rabbit was successfully delivered to the exit.

Zhao Yaqian was initially a little angry, shouting that the machine was rigged. Then she excitedly rushed over and hugged the doll, jumping up and down, as happy as a child.

After playing inside for more than half an hour.

The two took the elevator to the steak buffet restaurant that Zhao Yaqian had been longing for.

It's still the same group-buy 399 yuan meal for two.

Besides steak, there are also various cooked dishes, fruits, ice cream, and desserts.

Upon entering the self-service area, Zhao Yaqian, like a diligent little bee, with sparkling eyes, quickly filled a table with delicious food.

"Brother Song, what would you like to drink?"

"This ice cream is super delicious, it tastes almost like Häagen-Dazs, you should try it."

"Wow, the strawberries are so fresh today! Open your mouth, ah—"

19-year-old Zhao Yaqian has an unusually good appetite, but whenever she eats something particularly delicious, her first reaction is always to share it with him.

Hearing that he also said it was delicious made her eyes crinkle with happiness.

After a while.

The pan-fried snowflake steak was served, and Tang Song picked up a knife and fork, carefully cut it into small pieces, and handed them to her.

Zhao Yaqian smiled shyly, said "I love you," and then began to eat heartily.

Tang Song smiled and ruffled her hair.

Although she has matured a lot, he can still see the shadow of that innocent and lovely beautician in her eyes.

Isn't this a kind of luck?

The two chatted back and forth, sharing their food as they went.

It took more than an hour to eat.

After walking around for a while, Zhao Yaqian began to regret eating too much and worried that she would gain weight.

She finally managed to lose weight through dancing.

To comfort the beautician.

Tang Song took her to the Wanda Cinema on the 5th floor and bought a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of iced cola.

I randomly picked an animated movie.

Sure enough, after eating the golden and crispy popcorn, the beautician instantly forgot her worries and was full of energy.

The theater was dimly lit, and the light and shadow on the screen reflected on the faces of the two people.

Zhao Yaqian leaned against Tang Song, laughing uproariously at the funny scenes in the movie.

Long eyelashes cast delicate shadows under her eyes.

Her body fragrance, enhanced by the item "Phantom Beauty," carries a sweet and passionate aftertaste, like honey warmed by the sun, enveloping her youthful vitality.

The faint scent of gardenias mingled with the fragrance of her hair wafted into Tang Song's nostrils.

……

More than 9 o'clock in the evening.

The two returned to their large apartment in Yanjingtian City.

After we finished washing up together.

The beautician mysteriously said she had a surprise for him, and then grabbed her bag and went into the dressing room.

Tang Song sat on the large sofa in the master bedroom, gazing out the floor-to-ceiling window.

The lights of Yancheng twinkled like a galaxy, but his mind was filled with memories of his time with the beautician earlier that day.

He smiled.

I picked up the guitar from the shelf and casually played a melody to express my inner feelings.

After a while.

"Ta-da~~" A clear and playful voice rang out from behind.

It was a background music that the beautician deliberately hummed for the entrance.

Tang Song turned around, his expression momentarily stunned.

She had changed into a unique Hanfu, which could also be described as a dance costume.

The silver-embroidered strapless top accentuated her collarbones, making them appear as radiant as a crescent moon, and her fair skin shone with a delicate, jade-like luster under the light.

The high slit of her skirt moved with her steps, revealing her straight, full, and fair legs. The flowing fabric of her dress peeked out from under her skirt, exuding a captivating charm that blended classic and modern styles.

Paired with vintage earrings and hair accessories, the classic and modern styles blend seamlessly, showcasing an elegant and charming temperament.

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

The vintage hair ornaments jingled softly.

Zhao Yaqian walked lightly to Tang Song and stood in front of him, a charming smile blooming on her face.

Like a lady who has escaped from a painting and gotten lost.

"Is it good-looking, Brother Song?"

Zhao Yaqian twirled in front of him, the hem of her Hanfu skirt fluttering in the wind, her long legs, measuring 1.8 meters, drawing graceful arcs in the air.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

"Very beautiful." Tang Song nodded vigorously, her gaze gentle as water. "Qianqian, you are so beautiful."

Zhao Yaqian's cheeks flushed slightly, and a shy yet sweet smile bloomed on her face, her eyes sparkling.

"How about I show you the classical dance I just learned?"

"it is good."

Tang Song smiled and nodded, put down his guitar, leaned back on the sofa, and gently fixed his gaze on her.

Zhao Yaqian took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

The room quieted down, and outside the window, the lights of Yancheng stretched out like a galaxy. Only the night breeze occasionally swept through the curtains, bringing a touch of coolness.

The soft light outlined her figure, as if draping her in a dreamy veil.

Her dance moves were as light as clouds, graceful yet powerful.

Like a spring breeze that ripples across the lake, or a summer night rain that is delicate and alluring.

Without background music, she was already immersed in her own rhythm.

The movements were sometimes as gentle as flowing water, and sometimes as swift as a startled swan; every turn and every glance was full of emotion.

The beautician before me seemed to have emerged from her cocoon as a butterfly, dancing gracefully in the space where light and shadow intertwined.

Tang Song was captivated, his gaze following her every move.

After a long while, the dance slowly came to a stop.

Zhao Yaqian was breathing heavily, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and a faint blush on her cheeks, like a lotus blooming in the morning dew.

She turned around, looking at him expectantly. "Do you like it, Brother Song?"

Tang Song did not answer immediately, but simply smiled gently.

Then, he picked up the guitar from the ground and hugged it to his chest.

His gaze was as deep as the night, fixed firmly on her.

Zhao Yaqian was stunned for a moment, then her eyes gradually brightened, and her heart started beating faster.

"Ding ding dong~~"

The gentle strumming of the guitar strings created a soft, flowing prelude that filled the room like a gentle stream.

It carries warmth and deep affection, as well as a certain indescribable emotion.

As the prelude ended, Tang Song's clear and magnetic voice rang out.

It's like a night breeze brushing across the lake.

"BGM: The book always describes delightful evenings, the bicycles they ride, and their conversations..."

Her emotions were gently stirred by the song; Zhao Yaqian's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if struck by something.

Tang Song stood up, took a step forward, and stood very close to the beautician.

I looked into her eyes.

"BGM: Slowly I've come to like you, slowly we've become closer, slowly we've started talking about ourselves..."

Zhao Yaqian gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her eyes gradually becoming moist.

...

In a daze, a crisp system notification sound rang in Tang Song's ears.

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The sixth task of the [Companion - Zhao Yaqian] training plan, [The Soaring of the Canary], has been completed."

"【Partner - Zhao Yaqian】Growth progress +20%".

"[Companion - Zhao Yaqian] gained [Comprehension +2]."

"[Partner - Zhao Yaqian] has received [Canary's Glory Gift Pack *1]".

The singing gradually ended, and the room fell into a brief silence.

The beautician's chest heaved as she pounced on him and kissed his lips deeply.

The strings vibrated, and the final note lingered.

Salty.
