559. Wedding Photos
“Wedding gown……”
Ning Chu gazed at the dazzling selection of wedding dresses before her, her eyes involuntarily lighting up.
Even though she’d always complained about how expensive wedding photos were, she had to admit – the dresses were really gorgeous!
What would it look like on her?
Without realizing it, she started daydreaming, tentatively reaching out to gently touch the fabric of a gown, then turned around to glance at Wen Yang standing behind her.
“You were grumbling so much about coming out, and now you can’t stop smiling.”
Seeing the joy in her eyes, Wen Yang chuckled softly. “Pick a few; we’ll take turns changing.”
“Alright!”
Ning Chu grabbed Lily and enthusiastically darted around the more than ten wedding dresses on display, chatting nonstop.
“Lily! What do you think of this one? The skirt is so long~”
“The red cheongsam style is pretty too~ but the slits look a bit too high.”
“This backless one’s cute, right?”
Lily, her icy expression long gone, could no longer contain herself, enthusiastically nodding her head with her face full of longing and admiration.
She pointed at a sleek, mermaid-style gown. “This one’s nice, it’ll fit your figure perfectly!”
“Really?”
“Yep!”
Ning Chu normally avoided overly snug clothes, which made her appear too flirty. At home, it could get her into trouble, and outside, it would attract too much attention from passersby.
But for wedding photos, there was no need to worry too much about that. She glanced up and down at the mermaid gown, liking it more and more as she looked. Turning her head, she asked the staff.
“Excuse me, is this one available?”
“Not included in the package? Extra charge required?”
She and Lily both froze, then turned to look at Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was also shocked. The young people exchanged baffled looks, once again realizing how harsh society could be.
He knew Ning Chu was money-conscious, so he had specially chosen the most cost-effective wedding photo package, not expecting this trap.
“What options do I have?”
“These ones… not ugly, but pretty basic.”
Hearing the conversation and seeing how his wife’s bright mood was quickly fading, Wen Yang decided to be the one footing the bill. “Add them, you can choose two more.”
He beckoned the staff, not wanting Ning Chu to find out the price and ruin her good mood.
“What nonsense, obviously just trying to milk my wallet.”
Though Ning Chu’s mood was affected, she continued to browse through the dresses while talking to Lily.
“Isn’t Wen Yang paying?”
“Isn’t that my money too?”
Having looked at all the gowns, Lily paused in front of the short cheongsam. “This one?”
“Having a Chinese style would be nice…”
” Aren’t you leaving tomorrow?”
“I’ve already arranged it with my brother; he’ll come by to help me get them and send them to me.”
On workdays, Ning Chu only wanted to lie around during her weekends off, even when she went shopping with Wen Yang it was just to relax. Chances were she wouldn’t have the motivation for the laborious wedding photo sh**t process.
“Nice…”
Lily’s fingers absently stroked the fabric of the gown, softly murmuring.
Ning Chu glanced at her barely concealed envy and teased, “Then you should just find a boyfriend~ You’re so pretty and wealthy, lowering your standards a bit isn’t hard, right?”
Not only was she beautiful with a great figure, but she also had a delightful personality, her home management skills were top-notch, with a master’s degree, and her future career prospects were solid too. What’s more, as a succubus, she was unlikely to cheat on anyone!
She could manage the household, make money, and was sultry at night. The only downside was the high demand on kidney functions; otherwise, she was almost perfect.
Lily, however, firmly shook her head. “No.”
“By the time I have Wen Yang’s baby, you might still be playing with toys~”
Ning Chu leaned close to Lily’s ear and whispered teasingly, only to get lightly slapped.
It took quite some time to just pick out the wedding dress, fortunately without running into situations requiring upgraded packages that would spoil the mood.
“Ning Chu, come take a look.”
Hearing Wen Yang’s call, Ning Chu looked up.
“How about this?”
He stood there in a neatly tailored suit, the suit accentuating his physique and making him appear taller. His demeanor became more composed, mature, and exuding a sense of security.
Ning Chu rarely saw him in a suit. Just one look, and she couldn’t help but grin. “All dressed up~”
“Can you say something nicer?”
“Handsome!”
She ran up to him, tilting her head to help straighten his collar, her smile growing broader. She lightly tapped his chest with her fists. “You look very reliable~”
“And I am.” Wen Yang chuckled, patting the little succubus’s head. “Are the wedding dresses all set? Let’s get you made up?”
“Alright!”
Ning Chu clung to her husband’s arm, her head always tilted upward, staring at Wen Yang’s face, her eyes almost glued there.
It seemed like she had already done her makeup, or perhaps the suit added to his charm, making Wen Yang look more handsome than usual today, almost making her lose control.
“What are you staring at me for?”
” suddenly started looking forward to the wedding…” She sighed slightly, a hint of regret in her voice. “Unfortunately, it’s just about taking photos.”
“You were saying previously you wanted to use the wedding money for a trip.”
She shook her little head. “Later, I thought touring around is actually more tiring than getting married. Constant climbing and walking everywhere, you can’t just lounge around in the hotel, right?”
“So let’s have the wedding~ Besides, it’ll be arranged by my mom anyway. We’ll just follow the routine.”
Wen Yang had long gotten used to her traditional lip-service, so he went along. “And wedding ceremonies give us a legitimate reason to take leave and collect gifts from colleagues. If we travel, we might even lose wages.”
“Exactly! The wedding’s better! Scam a round of money from others!”
Ning Chu wanted to say more but saw the staff already calling her, so she had to leave Wen Yang.
“Wait a moment, I’m going to get ready and change into the dress~”
It didn’t take long. When Ning Chu, dressed in her gown, appeared before Wen Yang again, his heartbeats quickened, and his breathing unconsciously paused.
Ning Chu, who usually had her hair either loose or tied up in a high ponytail, now had it curled and swept up into an elegant updo. Her usually lively image was replaced with a gentle and virtuous look.
The body-hugging mermaid-style wedding dress accentuated her slim, elegant figure. The white, tender skin of her shoulders and collarbone was exposed to the air, the sweetheart neckline creating a deep cleavage. The snug fabric outlined her waist, hips, and thighs, forming a breathtaking waist-hip curve.
Ning Chu was still a bit shy, her head slightly bent, glancing at the bewildered staff from the corner of her eye. Thankfully, Lily considerately stepped forward and draped a coat over her.
“Thank you.”
The tight dress made her movements awkward, so she walked in tiny steps toward Wen Yang, raising her head as her bashful look transformed into one of pride.
“Does it look good~”
Wen Yang looked down at her, his breathing quickening, a mind full of adjectives finally boiling down to just two simple words: “Good, very good.”
Ning Chu couldn’t stop laughing, her graceful figure leaning against Wen Yang’s arm.
“Let’s go! Time to take pictures!”
