Free Web NovelChapter 1141: Chapter 462: Before the Wedding Photos: Excited and Thrilled! After the Wedding Photos: Can We Be Done Already? [Monthly Ticket Request]
Lin Xu has handsome features, lacking the androgynous vibe of many celebrity idols, and instead giving off an impression of sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, truly resembling those ancient Crown Princes in his costume.
Just as they were talking, Shen Jiayue walked over in her outfit.
The golden Crown Princess Consort outfit made this girl look exceptionally noble. Plus, her tall figure and perfect physique made it look tailor-made for her.
Cai Sen couldn’t help but give a thumbs up:
"Many people tried this outfit, but because of issues with their stature, physique, and aura, they couldn’t bring out the nobility of a Crown Princess Consort. But when the boss lady wears it, it truly opens our eyes."
"Thanks for the compliment, then make sure to take good photos of us later."
"No problem, no problem, definitely."
As they were speaking, a staff member brought over Dundun’s outfit—a golden cape matching Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue’s, with a small Crown Prince hat tied on its head.
Gold usually doesn’t match a blue cat, but because Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue were dressed similarly, Dundun looked like a little royal prince.
The little one stood on the table, flicked its cape, and glanced at its small crown in the mirror.
Though the cape and crown looked ordinary, they were custom-made special orders.
For this, Cai Sen previously went to the store to measure Dundun’s head circumference.
After finishing the makeup, everyone set off in a car, taking advantage of the high sun when the light wasn’t glaring to shoot the outdoor scenes at the Fishing Platform first.
Originally, they wanted to go to the Imperial Palace, but there were too many tourists, making it too easy to be surrounded, so they gave up on that location.
The outdoor scenes weren’t much, just feeding fish by the lotus pond and strolling in the garden, paired with the royal scenery of the Fishing Platform, giving a sense of ambiance.
And Dundun, at one moment cuddled by Lin Xu and at another by Shen Jiayue, felt like it was playing a brand-new game.
After finishing the outdoor scenes, they shot scenes of Lin Xu kneeling in front of a table, flipping through ancient books and bamboo slips. The whole shooting process was not slow; basically, Cai Sen called the shots and they followed suit.
But even so, Lin Xu still felt pretty tired after shooting was done.
Taking off the Crown Prince outfit, removing the crown, switching to a set of white ancient garments, and matching it with an ornate Longquan Sword, a dashing chivalrous figure emerged.
Shen Jiayue also changed into a white ancient outfit, holding a matching sword. The two stood together, with Dundun perched on their shoulder wearing a little straw hat and carrying a tiny sword—a perfect chivalrous cat couple vibe.
Cai Sen complimented Dundun while taking photos:
"I never thought Dundun would cooperate so well for photos. When shooting from the side, it would deliberately lower its head, letting the hat cover its eyes, reminding me of Zhou Huai’an from ’New Dragon Gate Inn’."
Dundun flicked its tail at the mention.
As a little cat, adding flair is perfectly normal.
Once the chivalrous couple style photos were done, Lin Xu turned into a scholar rushing to the capital for exams, while Shen Jiayue donned a furry outfit, looking like a beautiful fox fairy stepping out of a painting.
At the start of the shoot, the girl occasionally took some selfies, finding it novel and fun.
But the longer they shot, the more she became like Lin Xu.
Following the photographer’s instructions mechanically, smiling when prompted.
Too many shots were taken, completely numbing her to it.
By the afternoon, when Chen Yan came to deliver yam juice, Shen Baobao finally couldn’t take it anymore, sipping the drink through a straw and curiously asking:
"Sen bro, are we done yet? My face feels stiff from smiling."
"Once this ten-mile foreign style shoot is finished, the Chinese style is completely done, and we’ll move on to Western. We’ll start with a medieval style because the carriage we rented needs to be returned before dark, so we can’t delay too long."
Upon hearing there was still so much more, Shen Jiayue was filled with regret.
If only she’d chosen two or three styles back then, instead of so many, it’s truly exhausting.
Chen Yan was quite envious though:
"Wow, you’re really pretty in a cheongsam, but this Republic hairstyle isn’t that great. If you had time, you should have permed it yourself for a nicer look."
"They say perming can cause hair loss; I don’t want to secretly search for hair regrowth hacks as soon as I hit thirty."
Chen Yan: ?????
I came all the way from North Fourth Ring to Second Ring just to bring you drinks, and you tease me?
Is the bond between sisters truly plastic?
No... how did this girl know about my secret searches for hair regrowth hacks?
Chen Yan squinted:
"Did you peek at my browser history?"
Shen Jiayue looked a bit perplexed:
"What browser history? I just saw it in jokes online... Wait, you’re looking into hair regrowth hacks, Yan Bao? Hahaha, told you to stop curling big waves all the time, but you never listen."
With humor provided by her cousin, Shen Jiayue was instantly energized, continuing to shoot ten-mile foreign style photos with Lin Xu, who was wearing a long gown, a derby hat, and leaning on a cane.
7:30 PM.
After wrapping up a day’s shoot, the family of three returned to Lin Ji’s Food.
As soon as Dundun entered, it voluntarily jumped into Shu Yun’s embrace.
Today, not only were the two adults worn out, but the little guy also indulged in the fun of taking pictures, now lying limp with no energy left to jump onto the counter.
Heading upstairs, Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue enjoyed a delicious dinner.
Busy all day, they ate packed lunches with makeup still on, with no time to rest.
Initially, the couple was quite excited about the shoot, but now, they felt like they had narrowly survived a disaster.
In this way, they even skipped several photo sets, like the Royal Banquet and Dance Under the Moon. If they had shot them all, they might have gone on until midnight.
Cai Sen’s studio is fully equipped, with all indoor scenes, feeling like a large-scale escape room business.
After finishing the meal, Shen Jiayue leaned against Lin Xu’s shoulder in exhaustion:
"Shooting wedding photos is the best, it successfully cured me of my addiction to taking photos..."
Lin Xu gently touched her porcelain-like cheeks:
"Tomorrow and the day after, I need to go to Yanjing Hotel and Fishing Platform for inspections. Once the business is taken care of, I’ll make our hometown’s Glass Noodles Meatballs for you, so you can experience the poor man’s version of Meatballs."
When it comes to food, the tired Baobao finally regained some spirit:
"Great, great, I’m looking forward to it... Oh, by the way, Sister Jing said that Mi Lan transferred fifteen percent of Ginkgo Garden shares to the company, what’s that for?"
Lin Xu chuckled:
"It’s to have me help with tourism development; Ginkgo Garden is several hundred acres big. Just us playing there is too dull, it’s time to revamp for income."
He thought last time Mi Lan was just talking, didn’t expect the big sister to be so straightforward.
In that case, let’s have mom pay a visit and redesign Ginkgo Garden overall, by spring next year, it can host visitors.
And Glass Noodles Meatballs are mom’s specialty. When Shen Baobao tastes mom’s cooking, she should be even happier.
With this in mind, he took out his phone and dialed Chen Meijuan...
