Chapter 1253 Capture It For Good
Shui Xian never thought that for an imaginary person, his wife would actually be so possessive. Who would have thought that Raelle Xiang was capable of all this? But he had to say he loved every bit of it. She seemed to love reminding him that he was the most important to her.
Or maybe it was a disguised threat telling him to not even think about cheating on her?
Well, he'd like to go with the first one since there was no way he'd be cheating on her. That was impossible. "Ahem!"
Both of them looked towards the door and found a woman standing there with a smile on her face. Shui Xian slowly stood up without any embarrassment at all and greeted her, "You must be Miss Chi Liao?"
"That's me," replied the woman as she entered the room and closed the door. "I'm Chi Liao. Nice to meet you, Mr. Shui." She looked towards Raelle with a sparkle in her eyes, "And it's an honor to finally meet you, Miss Xiang."
Shui Xian stared at her hand extended towards Raelle and held it to shake saying, "Sorry, my wife doesn't like to shake hands."
His eyes had a dangerous glint that made Chi Liao tsked at his pettiness. "Let's get to business," said Shui Xian.
"Shall we, Miss Xiang?" asked Chi Liao.
Raelle looked at the two of them and said, "I'm out of this. Talk to my husband."
Chi Liao deflated while Shui Xian perked up, "Talk to me. I'm here to talk to you. You don't have to disturb my wife."
Chi Liao had to instantly hide her inner fangirl and get back to her professional self. She opened the laptop and presented them with the ideas she had come up with. She had spent a lot of time and effort on all this in the past week since she heard that she was going to be the wedding photographer for Shui Xian and Raelle Xiang.
Oh, how much she wanted to see them in person and capture them together with the lens of her camera. She was so regretful right now that she was carrying her camera earlier and couldn't capture the moment filled with pink bubbles in the air as she walked in earlier. Sigh. She could keep that in her mind only.
As Raelle had said, everything was really up to Shui Xian and Chi Liao could see that too by now since Raelle was only leaning lazily against Shui Xian while he chose everything and discussed ideas with her. Chi Liao was quite surprised since usually, brides were more into this stuff than the grooms. But she really couldn't look at these two like any other bride and groom. This was Raelle Xiang and Shui Xian!
"You don't have anything to add to this?" she asked Raelle.
"Nope," replied Raelle. "Xian is better at planning than me. I'm better at executing those plans. So, you are gonna have to discuss everything with him."
"Oh," responded Chi Liao.
Shui Xian moved his body to allow her to lean comfortably against him as he asked, "Do you want to drink some tea?" The tea and snacks were brought earlier by the receptionist.
"No," replied Raelle. Chi Liao sighed heavily, "You both really don't need to do all this planning. With your overflowing feelings and your exceptional looks, you guys would be fine even with random clicks. Even that would seem like a wedding photoshoot."
"We know," replied Shui Xian proudly. "I didn't think one day you'd be a narcissist," said Chi Liao. "I guess love gives you some arrogance and if it doesn't, there must be something wrong," was Shui Xian's response.
"You both know each other?" asked Raelle.
"Kind of," replied Shui Xian. "We met when I was working in the music industry."
"How?" asked Raelle. "Aren't you a photographer?"
"And you think singers don't need photographers?"
"I mean aren't you a wedding photographer?"
"Originally, I wasn't," replied Chi Liao. "I just loved taking photos of the beautiful people. And I couldn't find beautiful people working as a photographer before?"
"Why not? Isn't there too many good-looking people in that industry?" asked Raelle.
"You don't seem to understand, Miss Xiang," said Chi Liao. "Those people have to always fake a smile even when they are dying inside. Do you think they look beautiful from the lens of my camera? You might not believe it but the camera sees a lot more than eyes. Working with those people, I got tired and my love for photography was fading. It made me actually question why I originally wanted to be a photographer."
"What changed?" asked Raelle.
"Ask your husband," said Chi Liao. "I have never really liked his charming and heartthrob image. But that day he really surprised me."
"What did he say?"
"He said the most beautiful people in the world are the ones who are in love," said Chi Liao. "The ones who are getting married. They are the ones full of love."
Raelle looked at Shui Xian and scratched his chin as he said, "I might have been a little too drunk, and seeing her so frustrated, I said a thing or two. How would I know she'd listen?"
"I never got to say thank you to you, Shui Xian," said Chi Liao. "You might have been a drunk and said things casually but that changed my life. You see, now I'm considered one of the most popular wedding photographers around here."
"Are you, eh?"
"Why else would I be selected as your photographer? I don't think your family is willing to have anything less than the best. So, I believe I'm on the list of the best to be chosen."
"It isn't that serious," said Raelle. "Is it?"
"It is to me," replied Chi Liao. "By the way, my gratitude is one thing but I am still not a fan of you, Shui Xian."
"You should be careful with what you say," Raelle spoke up. "I don't like people who don't like my husband."
"Wow! You are..." Chi Liao didn't know what to say. She shook her head, "I still can't wrap my head around how you managed to make her fall for you of all people?"
"Because I'm that good," answered Shui Xian and laughed at it. "By the way, are you really happy now?"
"Don't I look happy? I even gained weight."
"That's happiness?" he asked.
"Did you forget how skinny I was?" she asked. "Right. You're so skinny that someone asked you to always wear weights on your legs or else the wind would blow you away."
"Wasn't that someone you? Who else would make such careless remarks?"
"Hey! It was my concern. I had always been a considerate person." Shui Xian smiled at her and added, "But it's good to see you here. I can see you have thought a lot about this photoshoot. Thank you for putting in so much effort."
"Firstly, I love my job. Second, I have been a fan of your wife since I saw her debut on the red carpet with you months ago. And third, I thought I could repay you for changing my life by making this extra special for you."
"Then I can be rest assured with you," said Shui Xian. "Make sure to make this photoshoot your personal best. Because my wife wants to keep it with her till we are old and grey."
Chi Liao smiled at them and agreed, "I'd do my best for you two."
"Then I'll give you the contact information of my assistant and he'll coordinate with you and your team. You don't have to do anything. He'll handle all the travel and accommodation matters. You just have to do your best at what you're good at. I'd like to get everything done within this weekend."
"Are you sure?" asked Chi Liao. "You decided on three themes. And we'll have to travel to the beach and other places for the real effect."
"Yes, it'll be hectic but we can't take more time. Let me see if we can spare three days to give you more time. It's not me. It's you. You guys still haven't chosen the dresses for the photoshoot. You'd have to do the fitting and all. It'll take time, no?"
"Don't worry about it," said Raelle. "Someone already handled that all."
"Alright then," said Chi Liao. "Then I'll try my best to make it an unforgettable memory for you both."
"We're looking forward to it," said Raelle and Shui Xian simultaneously. They shared a look and smiled at each other making Chi Liao's eyes stuck to them. Tsk. She had never regretted not carrying her camera as much as she did in the past hour she spent with them. She wanted to capture every moment when they touched. When they looked at each other. When they just sat side by side. Every single thing made her want to capture it for good.
