Reborn With a Money-Making System: Ruined Actress to Nation's Treasure-Chapter 168: Cute Wedding Photos

In the end, we—well, maybe it was really just me—chose to do the photoshoot in a simple studio. It wasn’t completely empty, since there were still some props like flowers and fake plants, but it wasn’t as crowded as the other rooms.

Just like the staff had said, we could use all kinds of fun props as complements to our photos, but I didn’t expect that it would actually be this fun!

Most of the time, whenever I do a photoshoot, I usually feel pressured and a little stressed because I’m afraid I won’t perform well. But this time, I just went with the flow and enjoyed everything.

I pressed my cheek against my husband’s, smiling widely as I bit into a big rainbow lollipop. The camera flashes went off several times, and sometimes the photographer would suggest poses for us to try, but none of that made me stressed at all.

This wedding photoshoot turned out to be my favorite session ever!

In some photos, we blew bubbles together. In others, we ate lollipops and cotton candy. We also did some soft romantic poses, like kissing each other’s cheeks.

But the last pose didn’t seem to end well, because the lipstick I was wearing left stains on his skin. In the end, I turned that little mistake into one of our best pictures.

"Don’t move," I told Lando as I kissed his cheeks again and again, even near the corner of his lips. "There you go! Now you really look like someone who is deeply loved by his wife!"

On the other hand, Lando took a few deep breaths and looked a bit dazed most of the time, probably because I teased him too much.

"This is the last one!" I said, then pointed at the cameraman to take a few more shots.

After about an hour, the photoshoot finally ended. I let out a relieved breath as I sat down on the sofa in the dressing room, while Lando did the same beside me.

In fact, he looked even more tired than I was. It was probably because he had been standing for so long today.

"Do your legs hurt?" I asked softly.

Lando rested his head against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes for a moment. "No, not really," he added. "I’m fine."

I looked at his face and neck, which still had lipstick marks on them, and I couldn’t help laughing a little. "You look cute," I said.

"You’re cuter," he replied weakly.

It seemed like he was really exhausted. But honestly, that was normal, since this was his first photoshoot, while I had been doing this my whole life.

"Let me help you clean your face." I patted his cheek a few times before standing up from the sofa to grab some makeup remover wipes. "Husband, you did really well today."

I leaned toward him, so close that he was able to wrap his arm around my waist.

We had just confessed our feelings, and now he really couldn’t let go of me. It felt like he had glued himself to me on his own will and refused to let go.

"You’re better than me." Lando took another deep breath and then turned his face toward me. "I didn’t know a photoshoot could be this tiring."

"This is actually nothing," I giggled, wiping his cheek with the makeup wipe. "Usually, I have to change outfits several times in one session."

"I would give up too soon if I were doing your job," Lando said.

I honestly didn’t know whether he was just praising me or truly thought that my job was that tiring.

I mean, he was also very busy—probably even busier than me—because he had to travel a lot to many cities and countries.

But maybe this kind of work tired him more, because for some people, a photoshoot could really feel overwhelming.

"You can try being a model one day," I said with a smile. I paused when the wipe reached the corner of his lips. "Then we’ll see if you really give up so fast or not."

"Model agencies don’t hire a cripple," he said quietly.

"Don’t say that!" I lightly smacked his chest, looking a bit angry because he had insulted himself. "You can’t use a slur to call yourself. That will affect your self-esteem badly."

At least, that was what happened to me. I had always used ugly words toward myself for years, and it affected my self-esteem so badly to the point that I developed an eating disorder.

Therefore, I also don’t want something that bad to happen to Lando as well, even though, truthfully, I’m sure he has already experienced it.

"Alright... I’m sorry." He finally straightened his back and looked at me seriously. "I won’t use that word against myself ever again, so don’t look that sad. You might ruin your beautiful makeup."

I puffed my cheeks a little. "So what? We’re already done with the photoshoot anyway."

"Because you look better when you smile." Lando placed a few gentle kisses on my lips before pulling his face away. "And I like it when your cheeks turn red like this."

I held my breath for a moment before finally smacking his arms several times to hide my embarrassment. "Don’t do something embarrassing in public!"

Lando only laughed in response, which made me even more annoyed.

Fortunately, the staff entered the dressing room a few moments later, so they didn’t see us kissing a while ago.

"Ms. Orszebet, we’ll also be giving you two large framed printed photos," the staff said with a smile. "So we’d like to ask which pictures you’d like to use."

===

By the end of the day, we brought home two big framed photos. One showed us blowing bubbles together, and the other one showed me kissing Lando’s cheek, which was covered in lipstick marks.

The bubble photo was displayed in the living room, while the kissing one... I still didn’t know where that picture should be placed.

Honestly, at first, I thought this picture would look good if it were placed in our bedroom, but then I realized... we sleep in separate rooms.

"We should have printed two pictures," I said as I looked down at our wedding photo placed on the sofa. "Now, who should keep this picture?"

"How about..." Lando wanted to say something, but then decided to close his mouth again. "No, forget it."

"What?" I asked, narrowing my eyes because I felt like he wanted to say something suspicious.

"Nothing." Lando looked away, his ears turning a little red. "Just forget it."

"W-What... were you just about to ask me to sleep in the same room?" I asked, half joking, half serious.

Lando froze for a second.

His ears turned even redder, as if my words had hit the mark perfectly. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, clearly unsure of what to say.

"I—I didn’t mean it like that," he muttered.

"Oh?" I crossed my arms and tilted my head. "Then how did you mean it?"

He stayed silent for a few seconds, his eyes fixed on the floor. Then, in a small voice, he said, "I just thought... maybe it would be nice."

I ended up being the one who stayed silent. Yeah, honestly, sleeping in the same room would probably be nice since we could cuddle together, but... sleeping side by side without doing anything else would be impossible.

I would rather believe that elephants could fly than believe that we wouldn’t start touching each other the moment we shared a bed.

"I... I’m not ready yet," I said in a small voice. "I’m sorry."

Like I said before, I’m not ready to ride Lando yet! It would be so embarrassing, and my sense of shame is as thin as paper when it comes to Lando!

"Of course, I understand." Lando said gently. He looked a little disappointed, but he didn’t try to push me at all. "How about you keep this picture in your room for now? I can print another one for myself later."

"O-Okay..." I said, then awkwardly took the big frame. "I’ll keep this picture in my room for now."

I was about to go back to my room, but then I turned to face him again. "If... someday we share a bedroom together, then we can print more photos and hang them in the room."

Lando smiled softly, looking at me with a kind of warmth that I rarely saw in other people. "Yes, we can do that."

After that, I finally returned to my room since it was already getting dark and we had finished dinner. Besides, Lando also had work that he needed to take care of right then.

As I lay on the bed, Penny finally sent a notification.
