Liu Liu, holding her camera, made some adjustments but still seemed dissatisfied. "You two can be closer, it’s okay, you’re a married couple," she said.
Yanyi blinked and glanced at Qin Jiran. She then shuffled her feet a bit, and the distance between them went from clothing touching clothing to body against body.
Liu Liu gestured some more but still wasn’t quite satisfied. She directed Qin Jiran, "Best Actor Qin, don’t be so cool. Take the initiative. Put your right hand on President Su’s waist, smile, be gentler; this is for showing affection. Being so cool isn’t suitable here."
Qin Jiran really wanted to explain. It wasn’t that he was being cool but that he felt stiff!
Qin Jiran did as told and placed his right hand on Su Yanyi’s waist, but he didn’t dare to apply any pressure and just hovered it there, making a pretend gesture.
Best Actor Qin conveyed that taking advantage of a photo shoot to cop a feel or something was absolutely not something he would do!
Yanyi naturally felt Qin Jiran’s gesture and couldn’t help but frown. She turned to look at Jiran and asked, "Isn’t that tiring?"
Jiran was a bit puzzled, not quite understanding Yanyi’s meaning at first. However, when he felt her hand guide his to her waist, he suddenly realized what she meant, and then he became instantly uncomfortable, his ear tips turning red.
Seeing this, Yanyi, who had initially been somewhat displeased, suddenly felt the urge to laugh. Was this man a bit too innocent? Just a small gesture and he was shy again?
And it was at that moment that Liu Liu’s hand swiftly pressed the shutter, capturing the scene.
The man looked handsome and suave, and though he was supposed to look cool, he showed a trace of awkwardness and reserve, which was somewhat adorable.
The woman looked pure, beautiful, and proud. Her exquisite face bore a sense of distance, yet there was a hint of understanding humor, making her seem much softer. Standing next to the man, they looked remarkably harmonious.
This photo, though it didn’t convey a strong sense of deep affection, still contained a gentle warmth and a touch of joy. It made the viewer feel as though they could sense the interaction between the two people, evoking a warm and joyous sentiment.
"Tsk tsk, this could make headlines if released, perfect for a magazine cover too," Liu Liu was very pleased with her snapshot. The others who had a look were also in agreement, nodding in approval.
"Don’t circulate it for now. After we go to the reunion, then you can do as you please," Yanyi had only heard the term show off one’s love not too long ago, but that did not stop Queen Su from intending to do just that. Internet, media, public opinion—she knew all too well what these terms meant. So, although she wouldn’t deliberately perform, she wouldn’t mind using them to her advantage.
"Okay, I get it!" Liu Liu responded with shining eyes, nodding emphatically. She understood Yanyi’s meaning: they were going public with their affection. She got it!
The class reunion was held in a commercial villa complex in the suburbs. Most of the villas here were for business use, rented out for various purposes, such as small gatherings. The fact that this reunion was set here was indicative of its relatively high standards.
Yanyi and Qin Jiran arrived just on time, neither intentionally late nor early. By the time they arrived, many cars were already parked outside the villa—plenty of luxury cars, but even more ordinary models, which indirectly reflected the profiles of the guests in attendance.
Compared to his status, Qin Jiran’s car was relatively low-key—a simple BMW worth a bit over two million. Although it still ranked in the upper tier here, it appeared quite ordinary next to several others valued at tens of millions.
Yanyi scanned the lot and quickly got a sense of the formality of the gathering. Qin Jiran opened the car door for her, and after she got out, she hesitated for just a moment before taking the initiative to link her arm with Jiran’s.
