Chapter 48 -48 Wedding Progress Plus One

When Xu Jinzhi appeared before Xie Yanchuan, he was completely stunned. He just stared, and took a long time to snap out of it.

It wasn’t until Xu Jinzhi, lifting her skirt, walked toward Xie Yanchuan that he finally came to his senses. He blinked slightly but continued to gaze at Xu Jinzhi.

Actually, the wedding dress Xu Jinzhi was wearing was a very simple style, a long white satin gown, but it made Xu Jinzhi look very elegant.

“How is it, not bad, right?” Xu Jinzhi came in front of Xie Yanchuan, lifted the hem of her dress, and turned in a circle for him to see.

Xie Yanchuan said, “Yeah, it’s beautiful.”

“Although the style is quite simple, the simplicity makes it a timeless classic!” Xu Jinzhi was especially satisfied with the wedding dress she had chosen.

After all, she had memories spanning decades into the future, and fashion, well, it’s just a cycle.

When Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan again, she saw that he was still looking at her. She slightly raised the corners of her lips, “Little guy, have I mesmerized you?”

Xie Yanchuan silently shifted his gaze, but he did not speak, which was as good as an admission.

Then the photo shoot began. They would shoot for two days, today outdoors and tomorrow indoors; everything was ready.

At the start of the photoshoot, everything went smoothly, only that Xie Yanchuan’s expression was a bit stiff, but at the photographer’s direction, he quickly adjusted.

However, as time ticked by, Xu Jinzhi began to feel fatigue, and even the smile on her face wasn’t as sincere anymore.

Xie Yanchuan continued to take it seriously, but taking wedding photos was a matter for two, and it wouldn’t work if Xu Jinzhi was not cooperating well.

“Miss Xu, brighten up your expression a bit, don’t look so bitter,” suggested the photographer.

Xu Jinzhi tried to force a smile, but eventually, she couldn’t keep it up and somewhat gave up, “I can’t smile anymore!”

As they were standing very close to each other for the photos, Xu Jinzhi, drained of energy, leaned on Xie Yanchuan.

Xie Yanchuan, supporting Xu Jinzhi, found himself in a predicament, uncertain whether to push her away or hold her. At a loss, he looked at the photographer, “Let’s stop here for today.”

“But didn’t we schedule to take pictures at sunset?” the photographer asked.

“It’s okay, we can just shoot for another day.” Xie Yanchuan glanced down at Xu Jinzhi leaning on his shoulder, her face weary beyond words.

This was the first time he had seen Xu Jinzhi look so exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained away.

Xie Yanchuan felt that shooting for an extra day was no big deal, time could be squeezed in.

“Well, okay then.” Actually, the photographer was also very tired, but being paid for the job, he had no right to complain. Now that the client herself was tired, he could relax a bit too.

“I knew you’d definitely feel sorry for me,” Xu Jinzhi seriously said while leaning on Xie Yanchuan’s shoulder.

Xie Yanchuan merely looked at Xu Jinzhi and said nothing more.

So they shot for two more days before finally finishing the wedding photos.

Another big task for the wedding was thus completed.

As they entered June, the weather suddenly started to get particularly hot.

Especially when Xu Jinzhi went on a business trip to G province, the moment she stepped off the plane, it felt like she was going to melt in the sun!

“Mr. Xu, the sun is too strong; better use an umbrella.” Assistant Chen quickly moved to Xu Jinzhi’s side and opened the umbrella she was carrying.

But even with the umbrella, Xu Jinzhi still felt hot, as if she were about to succumb to heatstroke after walking for just a short while.

It wasn’t until she sat down in the car and the air conditioning’s cool breeze blew over her that Xu Jinzhi felt revived. It took quite a while before she let out a deep sigh, “That was really unbearable.”

Assistant Chen was also uncomfortable, but simply didn’t express her thoughts.

Once Xu Jinzhi caught her breath, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Yanchuan, casually complaining about the temperature there as well!

Xie Yanchuan, considerate as ever, told Xu Jinzhi that there had been rain in G province recently, and the weather there was unpredictable, often raining while the sun was shining.

So he advised Xu Jinzhi to always carry an umbrella when going out, both as sun protection and for the rain.

Xu Jinzhi happily agreed, then turned her head and promptly forgot all about it.

Many people had been invited to this business summit in Shenzhen, including both individuals Xu Jinzhi knew and did not know. But regardless of whether she knew them or not, Xu Jinzhi welcomed all comers.

With a wine glass in hand, Xu Jinzhi did not stop mingling, exchanging toasts, and engaging in cheerful conversation with those around her.

It was not until a middle-aged man appeared before her that the smile on Xu Jinzhi’s face gradually faded, even revealing a hint of barely discernible disgust.

“Jinzhi, it’s been a long time,” Zhao Lei said with a kind smile, addressing Xu Jinzhi as a close elder might.

Xu Jinzhi forced a smile, as fake as could be, “Uncle Zhao, it has been a long time indeed.”

“I thought your father would be the one attending this time. I didn’t expect to see you here. We haven’t seen each other for a while, and I was hoping to catch up.”

“How is your dad doing?” Zhao Lei rambled on.

Xu Jinzhi smiled faintly, “He’s quite well.”

Her father had always been quite well, but in her past life, due to some business conflicts, Zhao Lei had harmed her father. Even though Zhao Lei was later arrested and imprisoned,

the injury to her father’s leg was done, and for more than twenty years, he had relied on a cane, suffering from agonizing knee pain whenever it was too cold or when it rained.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinzhi could barely contain the anger within her!

“What’s the matter with you?” Zhao Lei, observing the woman in front of him, couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity.

Xu Jinzhi snapped back to reality and forced another faint smile, “Nothing much, just thinking about some things.”

“Is that so,” Zhao Lei said, his expression suggesting he didn’t quite believe what Xu Jinzhi had just said.

“Uncle Zhao, I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now,” said Xu Jinzhi.

Zhao Lei nodded, “Alright, I won’t keep you, go ahead.”

And with that, Xu Jinzhi truly turned and left without any hesitation.

Zhao Lei, seasoned in the ways of the business world, watched Xu Jinzhi’s retreating figure, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes. He felt that Xu Jinzhi clearly disliked him.

But he supposed he had a decent relationship with Xu Zhen, and didn’t think this girl had any particular grievances against him.

So what had happened now?

Before Zhao Lei could sort it out, someone else came over to socialize. With a genial smile, he turned to engage the new conversation, pushing thoughts of Xu Jinzhi to the back of his mind.
