CH 3483

In the studio.

A few staff members filed in hurriedly and drew the red curtains across, wiping the stools and mopping the floor until the entire studio was spotless. A few of them walked to the door with flattering expressions, bowing to Gu Jinglian as they greeted him, “Chairman Gu, please come in! Haha, please come in!”

Gu Jinglian adjusted his tie and walked in.

Chu He looked at them suspiciously from the corner of her eyes. Weren’t these staff members really the people who treated her so coldly in the morning? All of a sudden they were cozying up to them?

She walked in with a look of distrust and noticed a few staff members respectfully escorting Gu Jinglian to the stool like they were lowly servants. They turned around and smiled politely at Chu He, their faces instantly scrunching up like chrysanthemums.

“…”

Couldn’t they act normal?

They sent chills down her spine.

Chu He walked awkwardly to Gu Jinglian’s side and sat down.

One of the staff made her way behind the camera and looked through the viewfinder. He smiled and said to them, “Sit closer ~ ~ ~”

Goosebumps broke out all over Chu He’s body as she inched closer to Gu Jinglian.

“Is this okay?”

The staff took another look through the viewfinder and realized that Gu Jinglian was about to disappear from view. “Sir, move closer this way.”

Gu Jinglian shot Chu He an icy glance and slowly inched a fraction towards her.

“A little closer this way.”

Gu Jinglian moved a little more.

“Move closer. Now you look like you’re very unfamiliar with each other. The man should put his arm around the woman’s shoulder and be more natural.”

Gu Jinglian raised his arm and pulled Chu He to his side.

Chu He was flabbergasted.

The staff was slightly taken aback.

Gu Jinglian said impatiently, “Hurry up and take the photo.”

“Yes… yes…”

The staff member nodded like he was pounding garlic and took a few shots.

Once the photographs had been developed, they were used for the documents.

Chu He took a look at the marriage certificate after they had received it, in the photo, Gu Jinglian had one arm around her shoulders, looking extremely domineering. There was no expression on his face, neither was there any joy one would normally see on newlyweds. There wasn’t even a hint of a smile. All throughout, his expression was stone cold.

At the very least, she bore a slight smile though it was not obvious, and did not look as stiff as he did.

Anyhow.

It was just a document. It would go into the drawer once they got home and would never see the light of day again anyway.

Chu He walked over to Gu Jinglian and handed him a red document. “Here, it’s yours.”

“Two copies?”

“Yes, one for the bride and one for the groom.”

Chu He looked at the time and quickly said, “Alright, I’m going to work.”

With that, she left Gu Jinglian alone, greeted Butler Fu on the way out and hurried away.

Gu Jinglian looked at the marriage certificate in his hand and flipped it open. In the photo, the two of them looked awkward but intimate.

This was his first time taking such a photograph with a woman. This woman was now his official wife.

At once, an extremely unfamiliar and awkward feeling rose within him.

Butler Fu walked over and saw Gu Jinglian staring at the photograph on the marriage certificate. He asked quietly, “Old Master, shall we go home?”

The butler’s prompt interrupted his train of thought. Gu Jinglian looked up and handed him the document. “You’re in charge of safekeeping it.”

Butler Fu received the marriage certificate as if it was a precious treasure. He flipped it open and took a look. Instantly he was overjoyed!

Gu Jinglian suddenly warned in an icy tone, “Don’t let anyone see it. Do you hear me?”

Uncle Fu immediately held back his laughter and replied seriously, “I understand!”
