Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 204 Future
"You!" Nan Xu hesitated, then sighed. "Didn't you say you wanted to take wedding photos? You're free these few days before the New Year, so arrange a time to take the wedding photos before the New Year."

Lu Zhiyan carefully put the hair dryer away and placed it in the drawer.

"Okay, so should we shoot in Beijing, Haicheng, or a destination shoot?"

Nanxu: "It's not long before the New Year, let's shoot in the studio first. There are a lot of things to do at the end of the year, don't let it interfere with your important business."

"it is good."

In the following days, Lu Zhiyan went out early and returned late, completing the work for the next three days ahead of schedule.

"Tomorrow we'll go pick out a wedding dress together, and the day after tomorrow we'll take our wedding photos."

"Okay," Nan Xu replied lazily, leaning back on the sofa with her phone in hand.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Zhiyan walked over to Nan Xu and sat down in a corner of the sofa.

"Zhang San is reporting on the filming progress to me, and we're just chatting for a bit." Nan Xu sat up and put her feet on Lu Zhiyan's lap.

"Okay, then tonight..."

"Don't even think about it! I'm really tired these past few days." Nan Xu stroked Lu Zhiyan's cheek, gently caressing it.

"No, I haven't had enough fun these past few days." Lu Zhiyan held Nan Xu's hand, his face full of unsatisfied desire.

"It's no good if I don't have enough fun. I'm trying on wedding dresses tomorrow. How am I supposed to try them on like this? With hickeys all over my body?"

"Can't I leave no trace?" Lu Zhiyan coaxed softly.

"No! Go take a shower and go to bed." Nan Xu urged Lu Zhiyan to wash up.

The following day, Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu went to Zhou Zan's studio.

They came to pick up the wedding dress that Zhou Zan had prepared for Nan Xu, which she was to wear on her wedding day. However, Nan Xu also wanted to wear the wedding dress and take some beautiful photos.

"Why are you here to pick up your wedding dress so early? Did you set the wedding date so quickly?" Zhou Zan handed the packaged wedding dress gift box to Nan Xu.

"No, I just want to wear this wedding dress to take some photos for my wedding photos," Nan Xu smiled.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the progress is really fast. You've accomplished in half a year what others took years to do. That's amazing!" Zhou Zan looked at Nan Xu with a smile. "By the way, where is he? Is he still busy?"

"Zhiyan, he's waiting for me downstairs."

Zhou Zan looked at her ambiguously and said, "Then hurry up and go, don't keep him waiting."

Nanxu placed the gift box in the back seat, then unbuckled the passenger seatbelt and said, "Let's go."

"Well, I have something to tell you." Lu Zhiyan started the car and spoke hesitantly.

"Huh? What?"

Nanxu opened the makeup mirror with great interest.

"Uh, Uncle Qiu asked me to give you something."

She quickly slammed the mirror shut. "Why are you calling him 'uncle'? He's not!"

"I understand. Do you want to take a look at that thing?" Lu Zhiyan asked tentatively.

"I won't watch!" Nan Xu refused without hesitation.

In the end, the matter was dropped.

Twenty minutes later, Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan arrived at the wedding photo studio.

As soon as they entered, someone came up to greet them, "Mr. Lu, Ms. Nan, you've arrived. Would you like some drinks or snacks?"

"No need," Lu Zhiyan shook his head.

"Please come in, the makeup artist and wedding dress are ready." She walked ahead to lead the way for Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan.

Today they tried on wedding dresses first. If there's enough time, they can take wedding photos this afternoon; otherwise, they'll do it tomorrow. Nanxu tried on five wedding dresses this morning, various styles, including satin gowns and mermaid dresses…

The process of trying on wedding dresses gradually went from exciting at the beginning to tedious and boring.

"I don't want to try anymore." Nan Xu, wearing an elaborate wedding dress with a long train trailing behind her, struggled to sit on the sofa, holding up the train.

"Are you tired?" Lu Zhiyan took the initiative to walk over and massage Nan Xu's shoulders.

"Hmm. I don't want to try anymore, marriage is too much trouble." Nan Xu weakly rubbed her legs, which ached from standing for so long.

"Then let's not try it on. Let the models try it on, and you can just sit and watch." A look of heartache flashed in Lu Zhiyan's eyes.

When Lu Zhiyan mentioned having models try on wedding dresses, he meant finding people with almost identical body shape, height, and weight to Nan Xu to try on wedding dresses one by one.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I'm exhausted." Nan Xu glared at Lu Zhiyan with a hint of reproach.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. You sit down and rest. I'll go arrange this." Lu Zhiyan gave Nan Xu a comforting kiss and went out with his phone.

Nan Xu sat on the sofa to rest and picked up her phone. A moment later, a waiter came over with snacks and drinks. "Miss Nan, would you like some pastries?"

Nan Xu nodded without looking up. "Thank you."

The waiter set out pastries and drinks on the table.

An hour later, the people arranged by Lu Zhiyan arrived. From their backs, they looked almost exactly like Nan Xu.

By the time Nanxu finished watching the models try on wedding dresses, it was already quite late, and she let out a long yawn.

"I'm so tired, I want to go home." Nan Xu leaned weakly on Lu Zhiyan's shoulder.

“Okay, let’s go home now.” Lu Zhiyan stood up and reached out to Nan Xu to help her up.

The two ate dinner before going home.

"Don't look for me again. I don't want to see you again." Yan Xiaoxiao said calmly, her heart unmoved.

Mo Jingyu held Yan Xiaoxiao's hand, incredulous, "Why?"

"I...I told you before, we were just playing around, don't take it seriously." As she spoke, she stared at Mo Jingyu and sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to actually take it seriously."

Mo Jingyu bit her lip. "I don't want to. I just want to be with you."

Together? How could they possibly be together? Someone like her doesn't deserve love, much less be involved with someone like Mo Jingyu.

Yan Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but she still stubbornly said, "Don't waste your energy on me, we won't end up well." She broke free from Mo Jingyu's grip on her wrist.

"Why? Why should you get to decide everything? Why can you just end it all like that? What am I to you? Your plaything?"

Mo Jingyu's face was full of resentment, her eyes were slightly red, and her whole body was trembling.

Plaything? How could he be a plaything? Yan Xiaoxiao's heart tightened.

Yan Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and stubbornly said, "Yes, you are just my plaything."

"Heh, a plaything?" Mo Jingyu laughed self-deprecatingly, gritting his teeth, "Yan Xiaoxiao, you're something else!"

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Watching Mo Jingyu leave, Yan Xiaoxiao collapsed weakly to the ground.

As Mo Jingyu walked into the courtyard, he felt empty inside. As long as Yan Xiaoxiao came out to find him, he could pretend that none of this had happened.

He truly loves Yan Xiaoxiao, and he can do everything she loves for her.

Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao slumped on the ground, his heart tightened. He rushed into the living room without a care. Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment when she saw Mo Jingyu return, and her crying stopped immediately.

"You, why are you back again?" Yan Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears, feeling somewhat surprised.
