“That… Brother Photographer, can you print me some copies of that marriage certificate photo you’ve taken moments ago?”
Pei Ge, who was supposed to be in the washroom, appeared in the studio she and Ji Ziming had just exited.
“Huh?” The photographer was clearly surprised by her sudden appearance.
“Er…” The look he was giving her made Pei Ge feel a little embarrassed.
“That… The photo you’ve taken just then looks really good, so I want to keep some as a keepsake,” she hastily explained, feeling slightly abashed.
The photographer promptly laughed when he heard her reason.
“That… Brother Photographer, is it fine? I can pay for the reprint!” she anxiously assured.
“Of course, you can get some copies of it.” The photographer nodded while giving her a look full of curiosity.
She did not notice this, though, as her entire focus was on the picture she wanted to be reprinted.
Of course, even if she did notice his look, she would not attach any deep meaning to it.
When the photographer started reprinting the photo, her heart could not help jumping in elation.
However, when she noticed his unhurried movement, she could not help but panic a little.
“Brother Photographer, do you mind reprinting it faster? I’m in a little rush,” she hurried.
Alright, what she told Ji Ziming about her needing to use the washroom was a lie. She had said that to get copies of the photo without the man knowing it.
The photographer, who was being hurried, could not help but amusedly mutter under his breath, “Really. Why does everyone want to get a copy… and all are in a rush, too.”
The anxious her did not pay any heed to his words and only continued rushing the man. “Brother Photographer, can you please hurry up?”
If that annoying fellow realizes that I secretly returned here to get a copy of our photo, that will be really embarrassing on my part!
“Yes, yes, yes. Stop hurrying; stop hurrying. It’s almost done,” the photographer replied helplessly.
Shortly after, a few copies of the marriage certificate photo were successfully printed.
Picking up the stack of photos, her lips split into a wide grin.
“Really thank you so much, Brother Photographer.”
Once she was done thanking him, she hurriedly paid for the photos and carefully slotted them into her handbag. She then rushed in the direction of the lobby.
She did not know that once she was gone, the photographer, who had just printed the extra photos, was amusedly commenting about her—
Oh, wait. It should be ‘them’.
“That couple that came to have their marriage certificate photo taken earlier is really amusing,” he told his colleague who had just entered the room.
“What happened?” the man asked, curiously noting the photographer’s smile.
“Ha ha ha! After I took a picture of a couple, they unexpectedly came back.”
“Huh? They came back? Why? Were they looking for trouble with you?”
“Ha ha! Not, not!”
“Thought as much. After all, you wouldn’t be smiling like that if they returned to seek trouble with you.”
“That couple returned minutes after leaving. It’s the groom who came back first.”
“What for?”
“You take a guess.”
“I can’t think of a reason.”
“Ha ha! I couldn’t as well at first. I was actually wondering about it myself and was totally stunned when he made that request.”
“What request?”
“To print some copies of their photo for the marriage certificate.”
“Tsk! That’s it? What’s so shocking about that?”
“He he. It’s not his request that shocked me; it’s his solemn look. I thought for sure that he would say something big.”
“That made you smile for so long? Your happiness is really cheap. I really thought something amusing had actually happened.”
“Ha ha ha! Of course, that’s not all. Something even more interesting happened afterward.”
“Mhm? Do tell.”
“Ha ha ha! You see; shortly after the groom left, the bride came over as well.”
“Surely, that bride returned to look for the groom.”
“Nope. The bride definitely didn’t have that intention; she seemed to be oblivious of the groom returning here and leaving quickly, actually.”
“Huh? Then, what’s her purpose for returning here? It couldn’t be just like the groom, right?”
“Ha ha ha! You finally made a correct guess! She indeed had the same motive as the groom; it’s to ask me for some copies of their photo!”
“…”
“Ha ha! How is it? Interesting, right?”
“I’m actually more curious of why that couple came back to ask for some copies separately when they could just do so together.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I’m pretty curious about that, too, and that’s actually why I found it interesting. Clearly, that pair was trying to keep this matter a secret from each other. That’s really weird…”
Pei Ge jogged all the way to the lobby and easily spotted the conspicuous Ji Ziming in the crowd.
She ran until her cheeks were red, and when she stopped in front of him, she was panting hard.
“So-Sorry… I on-only finished using the washroom,” she said between heavy breaths.
His brows slightly furrowed at her labored breathing but did not say anything about it. Instead, he quietly regarded her.
It took her quite a while to return her breathing to normal as she stood before the man.
“Sorry, CEO Ji, I got here late,” sucking in a deep breath, she apologized softly.
He raised a brow and commented coolly, “You indeed spent quite a long time there.”
“Er—that… It seems that they’re about to knock off. Let’s just hurry with the paperwork.” She changed the topic.
He rejected her suggestion fast.
“No need.”
She instantly froze up.
What? ‘No need’?
“Huh? N-No need? Why?” She widened her eyes in disbelief.
Wasn’t it him who dragged me over here to get married? Now that we’re done taking a photo for our marriage certificate, this super d*mn, annoying fellow is actually telling me that we don’t need to get married anymore? Is he toying with me?
He suddenly had the urge to tease her at the look of disbelief on her face.
“You’re late; that’s why,” he replied monotonously.
She was totally left speechless by this.
“Just because of that?” Feeling incredulous, her tongue slipped.
“Mhm.” An unnoticeable smile slowly crept across his lips.
“You… You! ” Her voice quivered as she stared at him with her doe eyes.
Noting her indignant look, he involuntarily felt a little happy inside.
She is this angry? Does she care for me and actually want to marry me?
