Chapter 128

Cross-Dressing Boss with Great Skills × Thick-Skinned Chatterbox Making Do 9

Chun Yuxi left the house dressed as a woman, with Guo Rong and her son witnessing this miraculous transformation.

This just went to show that a qualified cross-dresser could withstand the scrutiny of the human eye. With Chun Yuxi's masterful makeup skills, unless someone knew him very well, they wouldn't be able to tell that he was Chun Yuxi.

Apart from the makeup and clothes, his mannerisms and little gestures also changed when he cross-dressed. Seeing his enchanting gait, Guo Rong couldn't help but question herself: Am I really a girl? Am I worthy? I can't even compare to a man.

Chun Yuxi walked in front, and seeing that Guo Rong had fallen behind, lost in thought, he turned his head and revealed a bewitching smile. "Keep up."

Gosh, this man's voice breaks the illusion in a second. Guo Rong lifted her chest and thought, yes, I'm worthy. At least my voice is super pleasant and I can even imitate a loli voice. The bosses I used to play games with were all very satisfied.

"Dad, your female attire is perfect, but I feel the only flaw is that your chest isn't big enough. Have you considered buying those chest pads?" Guo Rong asked.

Chun Yuxi: "Who are you calling dad?"

Guo Rong got the hint and changed her address: "Sister!"

Chun Yuxi: "...Call me boss."

Guo Rong: "Okay boss, I think you need a chest pad."

Chun Yuxi: "I've used those things before, but wearing them for too long caused an allergic reaction, so I stopped. Besides, even without them, no one can tell I'm a man. Compared to you, a real woman who never wears makeup, I think I'm refined enough."

Guo Rong: "Yes yes, boss is truly the most refined woman...man I've ever seen!"

Little Guo Qian looked on with satisfaction as his birth mother and godfather chatted happily.

They went to eat together, and Guo Rong and Guo Qian still had great appetites, inadvertently causing Chun Yuxi to eat too much as well. After the meal, he glanced at his belly and felt relieved that he had chosen a loose-fitting dress.

It seemed he couldn't casually eat with these two in the future, otherwise he wouldn't fit into any of the pretty little dresses in his wardrobe.

Ever since acknowledging his godfather, Guo Qian had been inexplicably excited. After eating, he held Chun Yuxi's hand in one of his own and Guo Rong's in the other, even bouncing as he walked. "This is great! I feel so happy now! I'm just like other kids!"

Hearing the child's innocent words, Chun Yuxi looked at him with tender affection in his eyes.

But Guo Rong, as the birth mother, obviously understood her son better than this newly appointed godfather. She narrowed her eyes at Guo Qian, wanting to know why he suddenly started acting cute and shamelessly playing the sympathy card. Noticing his mother's gaze, Guo Qian gave her an innocent look, as if he really was just a guileless little boy.

Chun Yuxi: "Hey, good boy, let's go buy you some clothes."

Although he said they were buying clothes for the child, upon arriving at the store, Chun Yuxi first headed for the makeup counter. He skillfully selected a set of cosmetics and gave them to Guo Rong.

Guo Rong didn't expect him to buy something for her first and was a bit surprised. She tapped her fingers and clicked her tongue twice: "Actually, I don't really use this stuff on a daily basis." But not using it seemed like a waste, considering the price she had just seen.

Chun Yuxi was like an understanding sister: "It's not about wearing makeup every day. Putting on makeup can be a kind of ritual in life. Even if you just draw a simple eyeliner or put on some lipstick, standing in front of the mirror will make you feel more beautiful and face everything with a better mood and appearance. Makeup isn't for others to see, but for you to see yourself."

Guo Rong: "Boss is indeed the boss, what you said makes a lot of sense. But here's the problem, I don't know how to do makeup."

Simple. Chun Yuxi snapped his fingers and ushered her to sit at the nearby makeup testing station, signaling the store clerk behind the counter to try some makeup on her. Chun Yuxi was a regular customer, and everyone knew this beautiful sister who didn't speak much.

However, this was the first time they saw him bringing someone along to buy cosmetics. It's just that the counter lady seemed to be newly hired and wasn't very skilled. Seeing her eyeliner application, Chun Yuxi slightly raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and gently tapped the lady's shoulder, indicating for her to step back and let him do it.

Chun Yuxi took the eyeliner pencil and held Guo Rong's chin, looking at her from left to right before starting. He was skilled at applying makeup on himself and equally adept at doing it for others. His movements were deft, and Guo Rong barely felt anything, just a cool sensation on her eyelids. In a moment, Chun Yuxi let go and held up a mirror for her to see.

Guo Rong took a look and found it quite amazing. Her eyes seemed to have become larger, with more depth to the eyelids, appearing more spirited. When glancing at someone from an angle, there was even a hint of coquettishness.

However, Chun Yuxi wasn't very satisfied. He opened the purchased makeup set on the spot and took out a set of lipsticks. First, he tested a color on the back of his hand, comparing it to Guo Rong's face under the light.

Not quite content, he switched to another one. He gently pinched Guo Rong's chin, using his thumb to indicate for her to slightly part her lips, and outlined her lip shape. He then pursed his own lips, signaling for her to imitate.

Guo Rong: "..." In all her life, this was the first time a man had helped her with makeup. This feeling... was a bit thrilling?

Chun Yuxi released her, and his gaze shifted to her hair. He had the store clerk bring over a comb, hair ties, and a few small clips, and he started working on Guo Rong's hair.

His fingers were long and fair, a pair of hands well-suited for dancing across various musical instruments. As he fiddled with Guo Rong's straw-yellow, medium-length hair, his dexterity was extraordinary.

Finally, when he was done, Guo Rong held up the mirror and thought, the boss was truly professional. If he didn't make games, he could totally excel in the beauty, hairdressing, or bridal makeup industry. The counter clerks also gathered around Guo Rong, praising her good looks, Chun Yuxi's skills, and even complimenting their sisterly bond.

Guo Rong: "..." Sisters, do you know that this fairy-like sister you're praising is actually a man?

Guo Rong wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but after Chun Yuxi's slight makeover, she felt like even her steps were a bit more floaty as she walked out, striding with the wind, full of energy.

She took the lead and stopped in front of a shoe store, beckoning Chun Yuxi and Guo Qian to enter.

Chun Yuxi: "You want to buy shoes?"

Guo Rong raised a finger and wagged it: "No, I also want to give you a gift." Chun Yuxi had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Guo Rong walked over to the high heels section and looked at those high heels with a mysterious smile.

Chun Yuxi wanted to refuse. He could wear high heels, but he was already tall to begin with. Wearing high heels would make his height surpass 99% of his male peers. He was mindful of towering over others when cross-dressing, so he always wore flat shoes. But Guo Rong was determined to gift him a pair. She pressed him down on a chair and selected a pair of high heels studded with rhinestones.

Chun Yuxi wanted to refuse even more now. He couldn't accept this aesthetic. Guo Qian next to them had inherited the same taste as his mom. He also excitedly pointed at a pair of high heels and shouted, "Choose this one, this one looks good!"

That pair was studded with even bigger rhinestones, exuding a nouveau riche aura that screamed, "Look down, and I'll blind you."

Fortunately, neither pair had Chun Yuxi's size. Although he looked great cross-dressing, he was still a man after all, with quite large feet.

The sales associate sized up Chun Yuxi's feet and smiled with professional confidence, "No problem. Although this lady's feet are a bit on the larger side, we have many other suitable shoes here. Let me bring some for you to choose from."

A whole series of shiny heels were brought out. Under the enthusiastic recommendations of the mother and son, Chun Yuxi picked the most understated pair with the smallest rhinestones. Guo Qian and Guo Rong both let out sighs of disappointment.

Chun Yuxi took off his shoes and put on the high heels. The sales associate marveled a little, "Usually feet this wide belong to men. Wearing high heels probably won't look that good. But this lady has a nice foot shape in the front and very fair skin, quite suitable for this pair."

Guo Rong also thought her boss had nice-looking feet, especially that bit around the ankles was very alluring. If this was really a female friend, she would have reached out and touched them. But since he was a man, she didn't dare, mainly afraid he would flip out. This boss was too particular.

Chun Yuxi stood up in the high heels, clearly seeing the top of Guo Rong's head. After looking for a bit, he bent down and whispered in her ear, "Your hair is thinning from playing too many games. If the hair loss is severe, I recommend using XX brand shampoo and XX conditioner."

Guo Rong: "???"

After saying that, he sat down and calmly took off the high heels, letting the sales associate wrap them up.

Finally, it was time to buy clothes for Guo Qian.

Guo Qian had a request, "I want a leather jacket, the kind that looks really cool when you wear it!"

Guo Rong complained to Chun Yuxi, "Don't know who he got his terrible taste from, always going on about leather jackets."

Chun Yuxi thought: You're one to talk?

Chun Yuxi bought over a dozen outfits for his godson in one go, but no leather jackets. While waiting for Guo Qian to change, Guo Rong stared at a pretty little princess dress for a long time. Chun Yuxi exchanged a glance with her, seeing the same thing in each other's eyes.

Guo Qian came out in his new clothes, looking like a little prince. He raised his chin to show off his handsomeness to his birth mother and godfather.

Guo Rong: "Baby son, come look at this outfit. Will you try it on?"

She was holding up a princess dress.

Guo Qian: "...No."

Guo Rong: "I'll buy you a leather jacket."

Guo Qian: "..."

Guo Qian came out wearing the little princess dress. Guo Rong held up her phone and went up to take photos of him, snapping away from the left and right, squatting and doing splits, praising him non-stop, "Not bad! Just like a little princess! Natural beauty, much prettier than your mom! Wow, amazing!"

Chun Yuxi was also taking photos with his phone. After a couple shots, he felt something was missing. He went and got a hat to put on Guo Qian's head.

Guo Rong: "Very nice, this looks even better. Oh my, too amazing!"

The two adults went crazy taking photos from all angles, making the other customers think he was some child celebrity. They also inexplicably took out their phones and snapped a few.

"Mm, this little girl is really pretty, looks quite a bit like her mom." A customer pointed at Guo Qian and Chun Yuxi.

With all the effusive praise, Guo Qian also let go of his initial hesitation. He thought, if godfather looks so pretty in a dress, of course I can wear one too. This way we'll seem even more like biological family. So he tried on three little dresses, which his godfather ended up buying. He didn't object either.

Afterwards, Guo Rong sidled up to Chun Yuxi to look at the photos he took. After flipping through for a while, she fell silent.

Why was it that with the same angles and same person, her photos looked like cheap props while the boss's looked like an exquisite doll exhibition?

Chun Yuxi saw the photos Guo Rong took and was also amazed. What kind of abysmal photography skills were these?

Guo Qian pulled his mother's hand, and the two of them leaned together. "Take a couple of photos of us!" he said to his godfather.

Chun Yuxi held up his phone and took a few shots, once again winning the unanimous praise of the mother and son.

Guo Qian: Great, from now on, when Mom wants to take photos, I'm saved!

At the end of the day, Chun Yuxi lay in bed, casually flipping through his phone. He unintentionally came across that photo of the mother and son leaning together, smiling and making peace signs.

He took out a photo album from his bedside table and found an old photo. It also showed a mother and son. The little boy in the photo was him at around Guo Qian's age, also wearing a little dress and nestled beside his mother.

He looked at the two similar photos, spacing out a little. In the end, he smiled softly.
