Wu Lei could not help but chortle. "Why did you apply makeup remover on your face if you didn't have any make-up on?" he asked.
"But Teacher Wu, weren't you the one who instructed me to do so?" An Wen could not fathom why Wu Lei was laughing at her.
"There's still some cleansing foam on your face, hurry and wash it off," Wu Lei tried to stifle a laugh.
An Wen did as she was told. Her brows and a few loose strands of hair resting on her hairline became wet from when she splashed water on her face. Not only did her skin look hydrated and lovely after that, but her fluttering eyelashes and glistening eyes also perfectly presented her innocent good looks in their purest form.
"The condition of your skin is impeccable. I really thought you had some makeup on earlier," exclaimed the man.
An Wen returned his compliment with a smile before replying, "Perhaps it's because I don't usually stay up late."
Wu Lei gave out a hearty laugh and spoke directly to the camera, "Here you go, ladies and gentlemen, going to bed early gives you perfect skin like An Wen's."
The two of them exchanged a few more words before heading toward the filming studio.
The recording started with Wu Lei giving the audience an introduction to the show. "This show is sponsored by the Tumei App, helping everyone to be their prettiest selves. Good evening, and thanks for tuning in to My Desired Prince," said Wu Lei, while the four other male guests stood on his sides.
The four of them made a heart gesture toward the camera at the same time. Then, Wu Lei said to them, "Alright, let's sit down and have a chat."
Wu Lei sat down on the sofa positioned in the middle of the room. Two of the male guests sat on the seat to the left of Wu Lei, while the other two sat to his right.
"This is already the eighth episode of our show. Up until now, it's Li Yuebin, Bin Bin, who has received the most number of My Desired badges."
The five of them gave a round of applause.
"I'm telling you now, our princess for today's episode is a great beauty. I believe she's able to make all of you go crazy," teased the host.
All four of the male guests bubbled over with excitement. "Teacher Wu, it's not fair that you get to know the identity of the princess before us in every episode," Zhuo Shaoyuan said enviously.
"And you get to see the princess remove her makeup, too!" added Xu Liangxuan.
Wu Lei understood what they were getting at, but he wanted to make fun of them. "So, you just want to watch the princess remove her makeup, huh?"
This had all four of the male guests in stitches.
"Alright, now, let's take a look at the hints that the princess today had provided us," suggested Wu Lei. Then, everyone turned their attention to the massive screen on the wall.
A picture of a little girl appeared on the screen. Dressed in a white princess costume, she was sitting obediently on a swing.
"It's a photo from her childhood. Can you guess who she might be?" questioned Wu Lei.
"You can see that this little girl has great features, and a beauty since she was young," exclaimed Li Yuebin.
"There's a certain grace to her as well, just like an angel. She looks like she could be a child star," added Yang Ziming.
After staring at the photo for a long while, Zhuo Shaoyuan suddenly cried out loud, his hand covering his mouth. "It can't be her, can it? Is she really here?"
Everyone was taken aback by his overreaction. Yang Ziming, who was sitting next to him, even jumped a little. "What's the matter with you?" he asked.
Zhuo Shaoyuan was heated with emotions. He replied to Yang Ziming in a shaky voice, "Look at her face carefully. Don't you think the resemblance is uncanny?"
Yang Ziming looked at the picture again. Suddenly, he shouted without warning, "Oh gosh! Is it really her? It can't be a coincidence! It does look so much like her!"
The other two male guests who were sitting on the opposite couch had a blank expression on their faces. "Who are you two talking about?"
The two men on the other side were completely out of control, especially Zhuo Shaoyuan, who was hugging the couch pillow. He was completely thrilled.
"Now, the princess is going to speak to us from behind the screen. She'll give us some hints to help us to figure out her identity," said Wu Lei.
Once again, everyone shifted their attention toward the massive screen. A soft and pleasant female's voice entered their ears. She said, "I was once in the same drama production as Zhuo Shaoyuan."
