Chapter 612: Shall We Take Wedding Photos Together?
"Sure."
Jiang Baobao agreed readily, and after saying that, she hurriedly asked in return: "So... how has the progress been between the two of you these past two days? You've been staying at home together every day recently, there should be some progress, right?"
"Sigh..."
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately let out a long sigh: "Don't even mention it. Not only has there been no progress at all, but we've even had very few chances to talk. He seems extremely busy lately, always dealing with that viper matter, and besides..."
Cai Xiaotang pondered for a moment before asking: "Do you remember what Li Xiao used to be like toward me?"
"Used to be?"
Jiang Baobao thought for a moment, then replied: "In the past... Li Xiao was very good to you, and he really liked to tease you. Although he made you angry sometimes, it wasn't actually malicious. Didn't I always misunderstand that the two of you were truly in a good relationship back then?"
By the time Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a bit dissatisfied.
Cai Xiaotang, however, suddenly deflated: "Right... it seems it really wasn't my imagination. Actually... he used to always talk in such an unreliable way, deliberately saying things that would cause misunderstandings, but recently I've discovered... he seems to have suddenly become a 'straight man'..."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Baobao was somewhat confused.
Cai Xiaotang felt a bit conflicted, not knowing how to describe it.
Should she repeat to Baobao everything about how Li Xiao used to flirt with her?
She held back for a long time before vaguely saying: "It's nothing, just that I feel the relationship between us has suddenly become distant. If we were very good friends before, then recently it's like... there's a bit of a gap?"
"Huh? Why?"
Jiang Baobao was even more confused by what she said.
Cai Xiaotang was even more helpless: "I don't know either... if I knew, wouldn't I not be worrying?"
The two were silent for a long while.
Jiang Baobao then said again: "I think... could it be that because you've started to like him, you're extra concerned, and so you tend to overthink things?"
"Could it be?"
Cai Xiaotang was noncommittal.
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but want to laugh: "Of course. It's precisely because you care about him so much that you overthink. Liking someone is just like that; his unconscious actions will all attract your attention, and then you magnify them infinitely. Why don't you try to calm your mindset first? Also... I actually have an idea."
"What idea?"
Cai Xiaotang instantly perked up.
"Well..."
Jiang Baobao drew out her voice: "When the day comes for me to go take my wedding photos, you just..."
Two days later.
The time for Jiang Baobao to take her wedding photos was finally set.
Early in the morning, Cai Xiaotang dragged Li Xiao directly out of the study.
"You want to go watch them take photos?"
Li Xiao had long known that this person couldn't stay quiet for many days, so he hurriedly agreed: "I can, I'll have a few more people follow you, but I won't go..."
"Why won't you go?"
Cai Xiaotang was determined to drag him along, deliberately acting pitiful as she said: "I've been having nightmares these past few days. If you don't follow me, I won't feel at ease. And don't you have nothing to do today?"
"I..."
Li Xiao was stunned by her directness and didn't know how to refuse for a moment.
Cai Xiaotang took the opportunity to pull his hand harder and walk outside: "Just accompany me! Baobao also really hopes you'll go! It's livelier with more people!"
Li Xiao was left somewhat at a loss by her sudden enthusiasm.
"Asura..."
Just then, someone came upstairs and saw the scene of the two pulling and tugging at each other, and their footsteps faltered.
Cai Xiaotang hurriedly took the chance to ask: "Do you have anything to be busy with him today?"
Li Xiao immediately winked frantically at his subordinate.
But unfortunately, the other party didn't receive his signal at all and answered truthfully: "No."
"Good! It's good that there isn't!"
Cai Xiaotang nodded with satisfaction and immediately looked at Li Xiao triumphantly: "See, your subordinate said you have nothing to do today, so why not come with me?"
"Sigh..."
Li Xiao had no choice but to sigh and let her drag him downstairs.
The two went out together and hurried toward the address Jiang Baobao had sent.
Not long after, they stopped in front of a building decorated like a palace.
"Wow... isn't this place too beautiful?"
Cai Xiaotang was somewhat surprised.
Li Xiao, however, had a look of sudden realization.
"So they chose this place..."
"Is this place very impressive?" Cai Xiaotang asked, confused.
Li Xiao then explained with a smile: "This is a private studio opened by a photographer in the industry. Its privacy is extremely high, and it's not even known to ordinary people. Many international A-list stars choose to come here to take photos, just for the sake of safety and secrecy."
"So that's how it is..."
Cai Xiaotang's gaze at the building in front of her instantly became even more admiring, and she hurriedly and impatiently pulled Li Xiao inside.
In the Main Hall, Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue had also just arrived not long ago.
"Baobao!"
Cai Xiaotang called out to her excitedly and hurriedly ran over.
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao turned around and smiled, taking her hand.
"How is it? Have you chosen the style of the wedding dress?"
Cai Xiaotang asked impatiently.
A woman nearby, who looked like an assistant, replied, "The wedding dresses are all in another room; you can go and choose them in a moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao exchanged a look without a sound.
Jiang Baobao then deliberately pretended to say "casually," "Right, Xiao Tang, I remember when you got married, you didn't have time to take wedding photos, did you? Shall we take a set together today?"
"Huh?"
Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then "surprisedly" looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao's brow twitched violently, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Jiang Baobao continue, "It's a rare coincidence that we are both here together today, let's take a set together..."
Li Xiao's temples throbbed, and he hurriedly declined, "You and Beijue are the protagonists today; we shouldn't join in the fun..."
"How can this be considered joining in the fun?"
Jiang Baobao interrupted him directly, deliberately pretending to be somewhat dissatisfied, "Our Xiao Tang is so outstanding, it wouldn't do for her to be married without even a set of wedding photos, right? The opportunity is rare today, just consider it making it up to her..."
As she spoke, she deliberately gave a cue to Li Beijue, "Li Beijue, you don't have any objections, do you?"
"I'll listen to you."
Li Beijue was indeed very cooperative.
Even the staff member on the side chimed in to persuade, "Did the two of you not take wedding photos back then? That is truly a coincidence. We are only hosting President Li and Mrs. Li today; since everyone is friends, why not take them together? It would be livelier..."
Li Xiao:...
Why are we suddenly taking wedding photos?
Are they really not in on this together?
