201: Taking wedding photos
Lin Zifeng arrived at the Chen Residence again and was warmly received by Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua.
When they returned, Li Jing had already prepared a large, sumptuous lunch, and Chen Yuanhua brought out two bottles of fine wine that he had collected for many years.
After washing their hands, the three of them sat down at the dining table with Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua.
"Zifeng, today is the joyous day you and Yuxi registered your marriage. We must all have a drink today.
I won't go to the company this afternoon. Tomorrow, I will accompany you and Yuxi to take the wedding photos. I've already made the reservations."
Chen Yuqing said with a smile, picking up the wine bottle to pour the drinks.
"Yuqing is right. I won't be working this afternoon either. We definitely need to drink a few more glasses.
I can't believe Yuxi is married so soon. Time really flies!"
Chen Yuanhua said with some emotion.
Lin Zifeng stopped Chen Yuqing from pouring him a drink, instead taking the bottle of White Liquor from her hand, standing up, and walking over to Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua.
He began, "Uncle and Auntie."
Just as he said this, Chen Yuxi interrupted him, "Zifeng, we've already registered our marriage and are legally husband and wife. Are you still going to call My father and mother 'Uncle and Auntie'? Shouldn't you change the way you address them?"
"My mistake, I hadn't quite adjusted yet."
After apologizing, Lin Zifeng poured wine for the couple and himself a glass. He then raised his glass and said, "Dad, Mom, thank you for raising such an excellent daughter and trusting her to marry me and become my wife.
I promise I will take good care of her from now on. Please rest assured."
The couple happily agreed, raised their small glasses, and drank them down with Lin Zifeng.
"Zifeng, now we are truly a family. I believe you will keep your promise and take good care of Yuxi."
Chen Yuanhua said heartily.
"Your Father is right. We feel completely at ease marrying Yuxi off to you."
Li Jing's face was beaming.
"Dad, Mom, marrying Yuxi to Zifeng is a gain in my opinion. Haven't you essentially gained Zifeng as a son?"
Chen Yuqing said with a laugh.
"You have a point. From now on, our family has Zifeng as a pillar of support. When Your Father and I get older, you sisters will have Zifeng to rely on."
Li Jing said with a smile.
Chen Yuanhua nodded in agreement without speaking.
All five of them were very happy, so lunch lasted for nearly two hours before finally ending.
Chen Yuanhua, breaking his rule, drank nearly a catty of White Liquor. Chen Yuxi and her mother and sister each drank nearly half a catty of White Liquor, and Lin Zifeng drank almost a catty and a half of White Liquor.
After lunch, the group sat in the living room, drinking tea and chatting until Chen Yuanhua became drowsy from the alcohol, and then they all retired to their respective rooms to rest.
Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi returned to Chen Yuxi's bedroom together, chatted for a while, and then fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day after breakfast, the three of them—Lin Zifeng, Chen Yuxi, and Chen Yuqing—drove away from the Chen Residence and headed to the pre-booked wedding photography company.
Under the guidance of the staff, Chen Yuxi quickly changed into a beautiful wedding dress, and Lin Zifeng changed into a well-fitting suit.
When the two stepped out of the fitting room one after another, Chen Yuqing and all the staff members' eyes lit up.
Lin Zifeng looked at Yuxi and said with surprise, "Yuxi, you are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful bride in the world, and the perfect image in my heart."
"Zifeng, you are my Prince Charming! No matter how beautiful I am, I need you, my knight, to protect me!"
Chen Yuxi looked at the incredibly handsome Lin Zifeng, her beautiful large eyes sparkling as she spoke.
At this moment, the head of the wedding photography company looked at the couple and said to Chen Yuqing, "Manager Chen, these two newlyweds are truly a match made in heaven!
I've been in the wedding photography business for so many years, and I've never seen a couple so perfectly matched.
I want to discuss something with you. After the wedding photos are taken, could you authorize our company to use the newlyweds' photos for promotional purposes?
If you agree, we can shoot your wedding photos for free."
"Manager Li, I cannot agree to this request. My brother-in-law's identity is somewhat sensitive. Not only can your company not use the photos for promotion, but your company cannot even keep backups of their pictures.
Manager Zhang introduced us to your esteemed company, which is why we trust you and chose your services."
Chen Yuqing refused immediately without hesitation.
Having grown up influenced by a political family since childhood, she was no stranger to the affairs of officialdom.
If she agreed to the request, and Lin Zifeng later rose to a higher position, having his wedding photos plastered everywhere could lead to unforeseen complications!
Besides, she didn't care about the small amount of money.
Hearing her reply, Manager Li said regretfully, "That is truly a pity.
However, please rest assured, Manager Chen, we have professional ethics and will certainly not leak anything."
Chen Yuqing nodded in satisfaction but remained silent.
Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi took a set of wedding photos under the assistance and direction of the staff.
Chen Yuqing followed nearby, her face full of envy, her gaze never leaving the couple.
Her marriage to Zhang Yuhao was a political alliance, a fake marriage, so she had strongly refused to even take wedding photos.
Although Chen Yuqing was an anti-marriage advocate, what woman wouldn't want to wear a beautiful wedding dress once? Chen Yuqing was no exception, so watching the couple, the envy in her heart gradually intensified.
After Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi finished a set of photos, the staff announced a five-minute break before continuing the shoot, and the couple walked over to Chen Yuqing.
During the photoshoot, Chen Yuxi had paid attention to her elder sister's expression.
They had grown up together since childhood, and while they might not be completely telepathic, they could generally guess what the other was thinking.
She knew her elder sister regretted not having taken wedding photos and was very envious of her.
So, she had an idea. She looked at Chen Yuqing and whispered, "Sis, you haven't worn a wedding dress or taken wedding photos yet.
You are determined not to marry for life, so why not use this opportunity to wear a wedding dress and take wedding photos just once?
Even if you keep them hidden away as a souvenir, wouldn't that be nice?
You are in your most beautiful years right now, and it would capture your youth. Why not?"
Hearing Chen Yuxi's persuasion, Chen Yuqing was greatly tempted and almost agreed immediately.
But she thought that today was her younger sister's wedding photoshoot. If she got involved, and word got out, how would others view the matter?
So she said hesitantly, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate, Yuxi?"
"Sis, what's inappropriate about it? It's just taking wedding photos together.
A great male partner like Zifeng is hard to find! We are all family. I don't mind, so why should you?
Zifeng would also be willing to be the male lead in your wedding photos, wouldn't you, Zifeng?"
After Chen Yuxi finished speaking, she and Chen Yuqing both looked at Lin Zifeng.
