Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346: 198 Qiu Family’s Calculations (Second Update)

After the meeting, Qiu Hongsheng went straight home. As he arrived, he happened to see Zhou Fanghua sitting on the living room sofa, engrossed in a thick photo album.

A vein on his forehead twitched momentarily, and he subconsciously lightened his footsteps, fearing that he might accidentally trigger Zhou Fanghua’s sensitive nerves, causing her to become hysterical once again.

However, Zhou Fanghua suddenly looked up, casting a quick glance at the cautiously approaching Qiu Hongsheng. His embarrassment surged, accompanied by an inexplicable feeling of guilt, as if he were a ’thief with a guilty conscience.’

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and deciding not to hide, he started unbuttoning his shirt while walking towards the sofa to sit down. As he sat, he loosened his crisp military uniform, leaning his entire back against the sofa cushions and sighed comfortably.

Zhou Fanghua, gazing at the youthful face in the album, touched her now wrinkled skin and sighed as well, "Hongsheng, my skin has become rough, and I have wrinkles. There’s not a single beauty salon in the Safe Zone, what should I do?"

Qiu Hongsheng rolled his eyes inwardly, What a time to worry! Last night, zombies nearly broke in, we were almost dead, and she’s thinking about beauty treatments!

He didn’t bother to reply, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to Zhou Fanghua’s face. Upon seeing her, he realized she indeed looked significantly aged, having lost her former radiance.

The couple had always paid great attention to their maintenance, choosing only the exquisites in food and personal care. They had hired a nutritionist who was responsible for designing healthy meal plans, and their cook was carefully selected for excellent culinary skills. He was a man and fared somewhat better; Zhou Fanghua lived even more exquisitely, with her own makeup artist and beauty consultant, and someone to coordinate her daily outfits.

Therefore, Zhou Fanghua’s makeup and attire were always perfect, regardless of the occasion. Despite being over fifty, she looked remarkably youthful, as if she were in her late thirties or not yet forty. Besides her makeup and clothing, her demeanor was also immaculately polished, the kind indicative of a well-educated and cultured lady of high society.

So, privately, Qiu Hongsheng had always felt he was in his prime years, but now, hearing Zhou Fanghua call him an old man, how could his heart bear it?

He darkened his face almost immediately, speaking unhappily, "You should take care of yourself first and see if you can do something about the wrinkles on your face, looking as unsightly as an old hag!"

After saying this, he stood up, preparing to go upstairs.

Zhou Fanghua’s face turned a livid shade of anger. Then, she suddenly said, "Hongsheng, you said Wood Element Superpower Users can make plants grow and heal the wounded, can they make us young again?"

Qiu Hongsheng stopped his ascent and turned to look at Zhou Fanghua warily, sensing she had some ill-conceived plan! Worried she might do something rash, he warned, "We are not Wood Element Superpower Users, how could we know the extent of their abilities? The current situation is already unfavorable for the Qiu Family, don’t you start causing trouble!"
