Fang Shaoan leaves in disgust as Xia Jinqi and Yan Jun are forced to put on a loving display for onlookers. Yan Jun grabs Xia Jinqi's hand to keep up appearances, and although she initially attempts to pull away, she decides to play along to preserve their political marriage. Xia Jinqi then decides to use Yan Jun's aversion to physical contact and his pride to her advantage, teasing him with a display of affection.

Fang Shaoan continued to shiver, gazing at Yan Jun with helplessness. “Brother, you’ve changed.”

“Shut up!” Yan Jun turned and shot him a look. Was he going to die if he didn’t speak?

“…You’re so sentimental, yet you won’t let me mention it?”

“You don’t want the investment this year?”

“…”

Xia Jinqi overheard the quarrel between the two men and glanced at Yan Jun’s ashen face. Her mood suddenly lifted!

She had finally turned the tables!

Moreover, she realized that her future husband was not as cruel and bloodthirsty as the rumors claimed.

As they conversed, the group had already reached the beach.

This was the side of Rao City that met the sea. The expansive beach, complemented by the azure sea and sky, was an ideal setting for wedding photos.

Fang Shaoan’s demeanor shifted to seriousness. He took the camera from the renowned international photographer and made a few swift adjustments to the settings. Then, he commenced directing Xia Jinqi and Yan Jun for their photos.

“You two are standing so far apart. How can we capture the shot? Move closer and show some affection!”

The moment he held the camera, the man became professional. He actually dared to instruct Yan Jun…

Honestly, he figured this was the only time in his life he could possibly assert himself over the infamous King of Hell!

Upon hearing Fang Shaoan’s command, Xia Jinqi looked at the distance between herself and Yan Jun.

There seemed to be a gap of miles between them…

Alright, she conceded that it was indeed too great a distance for wedding photos.

Thus, she took a small step towards him.

However, Fang Shaoan remained unsatisfied. “A little closer!”

Xia Jinqi gritted her teeth, braced herself, and moved again…

Inch by inch, she finally closed the distance to Fang Shaoan’s satisfaction.

She was now practically brushing against Yan Jun’s body!

Awkward…

She cautiously raised her eyes to meet Yan Jun’s. Seeing that his expression was neutral and he showed no signs of anger, she finally felt relieved.

“Why didn’t you tell me he was the one taking our photos?”

Xia Jinqi had initially assumed Fang Shaoan had accompanied her simply to witness her humiliation.

She never expected him to be here for such a professional task.

Yan Jun tilted his head to look at her, a sneer on his lips. “Is there any need to inform you?”

His unspoken meaning was clear: Why would someone as insignificant as you need to know?

Xia Jinqi froze upon hearing this and offered a blank smile. “Are you upset?”

Yan Jun raised an eyebrow. Was he upset?

“Who asked you to threaten me earlier? We can consider ourselves even now. What do you say?” As she spoke, Xia Jinqi lifted her chin, beaming at the man beside her.

After all, if the wedding photos turned out badly, she would be the one to suffer.

She felt it was best to take the initiative to make amends.

Yan Jun was, admittedly, in a very foul mood.

He had been coerced into this marriage by the elder master, who used company shares as leverage. Furthermore, he had heard rumors that the Xia family’s fourth daughter had an extreme aversion to cleanliness from a young age.

She was described as unsociable and reclusive, requiring sleeping pills just to fall asleep.

How could he possibly agree to be paired with such a woman?

Moreover, her relationship with Yan Qing…

In the midst of his turbulent thoughts, he was caught off guard by the smile gracing her lips.

Reflecting the warm spring sunlight, it exuded an indescribable warmth and purity.

For a fleeting moment, Yan Jun was captivated by the sight…

Not far away, Fang Shaoan quickly pressed the shutter button.

With a satisfying click, that moment was immortalized.

“That rascal! He claimed he didn’t want to get married? Just look at that beaming smile. It seems he’s found the right person!”

Fang Shaoan waved to the couple across from him. “Alright, let’s try another pose!”
