Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 361 - 374: Who Said We Need to Change the Photographer

I love you.

This isn’t the first time she’s heard someone say these three words. Many years ago, when she was with Qin Mu, that man said them too. She was overjoyed hearing Qin Mu say these words, but when Lu Shifeng said them?

Her heart was trembling.

She didn’t understand why her heart would tremble, that shivering feeling mixed with ache and numbness, tears wanting to flow from her eyes yet forcibly held back by her. In such chaotic times, the only thought flooding through her mind was—Xingyu, don’t cry, you’re wearing a mask now and only your eyes are visible; if you cry, you’ll look even worse.

She didn’t want him to see that ugly side of her.

Yet she didn’t want to admit it either, constantly reminding herself—Su Xingyu, don’t fall for Lu Shifeng’s tricks again, don’t believe his nonsense about responsibility, care, and love; the person who hurt you the most in this world is him.

She quietly raised her head and looked at him, saying: "Did you come all the way here just to tell me this? Sorry, Mr. Lu, I’m not interested." After speaking, she wanted to pass by him and leave.

He grabbed her arm.

"Lu Shifeng, let go of me!" she shouted angrily.

"Xingyu, what do you want me to do?" His voice suppressed with pain, "If you want love, I can give it to you. If you want me to investigate the arson incident, I’ve also looked into it. Whatever you ask, just tell me! Xingyu, come back to me."

She shook her head: "It’s too late, Lu Shifeng, everything is too late..."

How wonderful life would be if it was as it was when we first met?

No, not even their first encounter was beautiful.

She recalled her 18th birthday, the night she was bullied by him in the desolate and unfamiliar studio, and all the days and nights after the marriage... She couldn’t understand how she could have been so bewitched to like him?

She forcefully broke free from his hand: "Lu Shifeng, it was you who said love is an illusion. So, please don’t be trapped in this illusion now, don’t come disturbing my life anymore. If you don’t want Zhuang Heng to be punished, that’s fine, but don’t slander Ouyang Yi! Do you think that saying bad things about Ouyang Yi will make me leave him and come back to you? Naive!"

"Ouyang Yi really has issues, Xingyu, you must leave him," Lu Shifeng said, frowning.

She sneered, turned her head away, and walked down the hallway towards the studio.

The model had long been waiting in the studio, and she was in a bad mood today, constantly distracted; her performance was unstable, causing the model to take several repeated shots of a simple pose. The models who could appear on Cloud usually had some status, and being messed around by her made them angry, showing a stern face: "What famous photographer of Country F? Just randomly getting a name abroad and coming here to fool us? What on earth are these photos! Didn’t you get in through connections?"

Su Xingyu knew she was at fault, and had no mind to argue, just repeatedly apologized.

But the model, having the advantage, was relentless and refused to shoot, demanding a change of photographer.

Su Xingyu couldn’t help but apologize again: "I’m really sorry, Miss Kailian, can we try one last time? I promise to do a good job for you. Your photos this time are for the inside cover, finding a photographer isn’t that easy, and it’s hard to rearrange right now. Cang Er’s side is waiting for the photos, delaying them would affect the entire production schedule."

Kailian’s thin face tightened: "Do I need your instructions?! Who do you think you are, really taking yourself seriously!"

Su Xingyu had originally been somewhat proud, but this time, she indeed had faults first, and having entered through Cang Er’s back door, she couldn’t be willful, or she’d let down her camera and Cang Er, so she continued to persuade gently. The surrounding staff remained aloof observers, unwilling to get involved when a famous model like Kailian got angry.

Kailian kicked off her shooting high heels, walking barefoot onto the ground.

As she passed Su Xingyu, she harshly bumped her shoulder and went to walk outside.

Su Xingyu stumbled, feeling someone support her from behind. The person’s iron-like arm firmly steadied her waist, preventing her from falling and making a fool of herself.

She looked back and saw Lu Shifeng.

"Lu... Shifeng?" The voice came from another staff member in the studio, not her.

The person stared with disbelief at the man before him, and the man, with extreme indifference, gave him a glance.

The person instantly became excited: "You, you really are Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu, hello, I am the creative editor on site for this shoot, Gu Meng, very pleased to meet you." He was initially uncertain because Lu Shifeng didn’t like appearing in the media, and he had only seen him once at a distant social event due to a stroke of luck.

Just now, Lu Shifeng’s glance confirmed it for him—it was indeed Lu Shifeng himself!

That gaze was so cold, perfectly embodying Lu Shifeng’s usual deep essence.

Gu Meng became excited, oh, Lu Shifeng actually came to their studio! He must seize the opportunity for more contact!

His mind turned, and his gaze fell on the arm Lu Shifeng had around Su Xingyu’s waist, speculating on their relationship. Truly strange, wasn’t it said that Mr. Lu’s current wife is Zhuang Heng? Why is Mr. Lu openly declaring his possession of another woman in public?

However, despite his inner questions, his face remained warmly smiling: "Mr. Lu, come, have a seat here."

Yet Lu Shifeng ignored him, his cold-as-ice eyes fixed on the model named Kailian. He had seen clearly just now; it was that model who had intentionally bumped Su Xingyu! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Are you the one who just said you wanted to change the photographer?" he coldly asked.

After Su Xingyu shook off his hand and entered the studio, he had actually stood for a long time in an inconspicuous corner at the door, wanting to see more of her, but he hadn’t expected to see such an excessive incident.

Kailian realized who he was at this moment.

Seeing his hand around Su Xingyu’s waist, even the dullest would react that there was something special between these two.

She dared to offend an anonymous photographer but didn’t dare provoke the Crown Prince of the Blade, frightened to the point of turning a shade whiter, smiling with difficulty: "It’s just I’m not in a good state today."

She thought she had lowered her posture enough.

But Lu Shifeng remained unmoved, coldly saying: "What are you shooting, an ad? Or just promotional photos?"

"Advertisement," Kailian sensed an ominous premonition in her heart and couldn’t help adding, "for Secret Dream Ark." That was a large jewelry brand, and she mentioned it hoping Lu Shifeng would spare her because of the big brand’s reputation.
