Chapter 246: Spending the Night at the Sister-in-law's House

Qiao Qiao only wears this cheongsam when taking photos, so she has only put it on a few times, and it still looks as good as new.

The sister-in-law puts on the cheongsam, fully outlining her graceful figure.

"So beautiful."

Xu Yuexin raises an eyebrow at the sister-in-law and says, "Come, let me first take a seated shot of you."

The sister-in-law glances at the table in Zhongtang, then shakes her head: "The table is too empty; put two items on it."

Xu Yuexin looks at the table and finds the sister-in-law is right; the empty surface would indeed make the shot look bad.

"Wait a moment."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin runs to the room where antiques are stored, takes out a porcelain vase, and places it on the table.

Shen Qingru has already effectively handed these antiques over to Xu Yuexin; as long as he watches out not to chip or bump them, he can use them freely.

"The effect is good."

Xu Yuexin says to the sister-in-law sitting by the table, "I'm about to shoot."

After that, he picks up a Seagull camera and says, "Give me a smile."

The sister-in-law lifts the corner of her mouth at his words, and Xu Yuexin immediately presses the shutter.

"Click."

A photo comes out.

After the first shot, Xu Yuexin asks the sister-in-law to adjust her pose and then takes several more consecutive photos of her.

"Go inside the room."

Xu Yuexin puts down the camera and says to the sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law stands, walks into the bedroom with him, and Xu Yuexin steps forward to pull the curtains a bit.

The sister-in-law looks at Xu Yuexin with some wariness.

"Why are you pulling the curtains?"

The sister-in-law frowns slightly, saying she worries that Xu Yuexin might be up to something improper in broad daylight.

"Just dim the light a bit; the shooting will look better."

Xu Yuexin explains earnestly to the sister-in-law.

Better effect?

The sister-in-law is skeptical of Xu Yuexin's words.

But thinking of how long Xu Yuexin has been photographing, the sister-in-law decides to temporarily follow his arrangement.

Xu Yuexin doesn't close the curtains fully, only covering part of them.

"Here, take the prop."

Xu Yuexin pulls a rose from the bedroom vase and hands it to the sister-in-law, saying.

The sister-in-law places the rose in front of the mirror; Xu Yuexin moves behind her and clicks twice in succession.

……

"That's a wrap!"

After shooting for nearly an hour, Xu Yuexin puts down the camera and says he's going to the darkroom to develop the photos.

When the photos are developed, Xu Yuexin takes out all the pictures and shows them to the sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law takes the photos and is slightly dazzled.

Xu Yuexin's decision to pull the curtains earlier was correct.

In the half-lit bedroom, the cheongsam shots indeed have a special atmosphere.

"Very nice; I'll take them home and frame them properly."

The sister-in-law accepts the photos, nods affirmatively, and says.

Being praised like that by the sister-in-law, Xu Yuexin instantly feels proud.

"Do I count as a photographer?"

"... Look how beautiful you are."

"Just tell me whether I count or not."

"Count, count, count—you are a first‑rate great photographer."

The sister-in-law gives him a glare and says, "I guess I'm your official model now."

"Official—both serving and using?"

Xu Yuexin raises his eyebrows at the sister-in-law and says.

The sister-in-law immediately blushes at his remark.

Although she hasn't studied classical Chinese much, she knows what "official" means.

"Don't speak nonsense."

The sister-in-law lightly pats his arm and says, "That's it; you go out first, I'll change my clothes."

"I'll be home in a bit."

"Won't you stay a while longer?" Xu Yuexin asks.

"No, I have something to take care of at home."

The sister-in-law hurriedly offers an excuse, saying.

There's actually nothing at home, but she always feels that staying alone with Xu Yuexin is dangerous.

"I'll see you home."

To the sister-in-law's surprise, Xu Yuexin doesn't stop her this time; instead, he offers to escort her.

The two step out, get into a Mercedes, and at that moment Xu Yuexin wraps his arm around the sister-in-law's slender waist, pulls her close, and kisses her.

Da Yizi only gave Xu Yuexin a little push outward, and didn't react much.

In the end, she had already become accustomed to Xu Yuexin's intimacy.

After kissing Da Yizi, Xu Yuexin roamed over her body for a while, then released her, started the car and pressed the accelerator.

After a short while, the two arrived by car at Unity Lake, Xu Yuexin escorted Da Yizi upstairs, and she leaned onto the sofa.

"What, don't you want to leave?"

Da Yizi saw Xu Yuexin's intention, gave him a glance and said.

"I brought you here; can't you sit for a while?"

"Sitting is fine, but you can't stay here."

Da Yizi spoke earnestly and unusually seriously.

"What, is there still some rule here?"

"Qiao Qiao is at home today; if you don't go back, something will happen."

"What could happen? She alone at home could light the gas canister?"

"I'm serious; stop making snide remarks."

Da Yizi sat beside Xu Yuexin, unusually solemn, and said, "If you don't go back and make her suspicious, and eventually figure out what's going on, what should we do?"

"The sister I value most is this one; I can't lose her. Do you understand?"

"Got it, got it; you've told me that eight hundred times."

Xu Yuexin brushed it off, then wrapped his arm around Da Yizi and said, "I'll go back tonight, but for now…"

After speaking, he kissed Da Yizi's red lips and, catching her off guard, pressed her down onto the sofa.

……

That night, Xu Yuexin didn't return as promised; instead, he firmly stayed at Da Yizi's house and slept on her bed.

Da Yizi, Xu Yuexin, lounged in a carefree way on his own bed, showing no intention of returning for half a day, so he had to sit on the bedside and try to persuade.

Xu Yuexin simply wouldn't listen, closed his eyes and lay on the bed as if nothing were wrong.

When Da Yizi finally couldn't persuade any further, Xu Yuexin lazily spoke.

"Qiao Qiao knows I'm busy with business."

"If I don't go back tonight, she will just think I'm doing business and nothing will happen."

"……"

Da Yizi saw Xu Yuexin looking confident and shook her head helplessly.

It seems that today she really can't move him…

The next morning, Xu Yuexin hugged Da Yizi and groggily opened his eyes.

He saw Da Yizi in his arms with a head of jet‑black, slightly disheveled hair draped down, her snow‑white, delicate shoulders pressed against his chest, and a pair of full, mound‑like breasts rising and falling with each breath.

Xu Yuexin, seeing Da Yizi's exquisitely beautiful spring sleep, felt a slight itch in his heart.

"Ding—ding—..."

At that moment, the bedside phone rang.

"Who is this?"

"Early in the morning."

Xu Yuexin, about to finish his business and being disturbed, felt a bit displeased but answered the phone without much thought.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello…"

From the phone came Chen Qiaoqiao's voice, "Why are you at my sister's?"

Xu Yuexin was startled: "Oh no."

"I went out yesterday to discuss a TV drama, and this morning on the way home I bought some groceries and delivered them to her."

He improvised on the spot, lying to Chen Qiaoqiao on the other end of the line.

At that moment, Chen Yixue was woken by the phone, groggily opening her eyes.

Xu Yuexin quickly made a "don't speak" gesture toward her.
