Chapter 285 - I Think He Made A Turn Inside (2/2)

Coincidentally, the photographer had just finished a photoshoot with his customers. He was holding a sandwich while he walked out of the shooting studio. He did not know about Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu’s identity as he had to work with many customers every day. However, he recognized them instantly when he saw them as both of them made quite an impression.

“Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi.” The photographer walked over and saw that they were choosing their photos. He laughed and said, “When I saw both of you that day, the scene was so beautiful that I couldn’t resist capturing it. Also, I didn’t edit it much. I only altered the background and lighting, and I didn’t touch both of your images. This is by far my best work. A picture is at its finest when it portrays the natural state of the person. It’s far more worthy in comparison to those photos with designed poses and pre-set angles.”

Qi Chengzhi smiled in satisfaction.

The staff let Song Yu and him choose their preferred pictures. Qi Chengzhi liked them all including those that Song Yu left out, so he just decided to take all of them.

They had already developed a few photos that they selected to be on the album and posters. However, Qi Chengzhi saw a few more photos from the photographer and truly liked them. He told them to print them out as well, but the staff said that they would not be able to finish it by today and told him that they would post it to them by tomorrow.

Qi Chengzhi left his address Viewpark Residence before taking the developed photos and the original film and left with Song Yu.

On the way, Qi Chengzhi took a detour and went to buy some nice photo frames before taking Song Yu home.

Song Yu had nothing to do while she was in the passenger seat and opened the album to take a look. There were photos of Qi Chengzhi and herself holding the ultrasound scan of their baby. It could be considered as their first family photo.

Song Yu lowered her head and rubbed her belly. She could not wait for the little guy to come out so that they could bring him to have a family photoshoot.

Back home, Song Yu rushed Qi Chengzhi to choose the photos to put into the frame. Qi Chengzhi sat beside and look at Song Yu busy choosing the photos. He enjoyed accompanying her quietly like this, looking at her fussing around.

Song Yu glanced at him and thrust the other photos and frames into his hands as she could use some of his help too. Qi Chengzhi laughed while his slender fingers moved elegantly. It was already almost dinner time after finish selecting those photos.

After dinner, Song Yu went back to the living room after using the bathroom. She saw Qi Chengzhi was facing the wall at the end of the hallway entrance looking at something.

When Qi Chengzhi saw her walked over, he scooped her into his embrace with his long arms and explained, “Let’s make this a photo wall, okay? I’m thinking of putting our family photo here so that people can see it right when they enter the house. We’ll put up photos from our wedding up to when you got your pregnancy. We’ll hang the photos after you give birth to Youjin.”

Song Yu looked at the wall. She imagined how it would look like while she listened to Qi Chengzhi’s description. She felt like this was a nice way to document their family throughout using photos.

Qi Chengzhi could tell that Song Yu loved the idea. He proceeded to the study room to search for all their wedding photos for Song Yu to select.

“…” Only then Song Yu understood why Qi Chengzhi bought so many photo frames when they were on the way back home. He already had the intention of filling the wall with photos.

When Song Yu was choosing from their wedding photos, she heard Qi Chengzhi said, “It seems like both of us don’t really have photos of our daily life.”

Song Yu lifted her head and saw Qi Chengzhi looked as if he had thought of something. He said in an awkward expression, “Like the ones that you took with Jian Yi.”

“…” Song Yu was speechless.

This happened so long ago, how could he still remember?

Furthermore, he was not the kind who would take selfies when he goes out. If she insisted on taking selfies with him, it felt weird with his conservative image.

“We can take them in the future.” Song Yu scurried over and leaned on his shoulders. “As long as you don’t feel embarrassed.”

Qi Chengzhi stared at her with his jet-black eyes and gave her a mocking glance. Then, he stood up laughing and brought the ladder over together with a hammer and nails. He picked the photo frames filled with pictures and proceeded to nail them on the wall.

Song Yu only needed to pass those photo frames to Qi Chengzhi since they had already chosen them from the pile.

They took another look at the photos when Qi Chengzhi was fixing them onto the wall. Song Yu felt a sudden feeling of reminiscence when she saw their wedding photos from months ago. Time really flew past. She was smiling so blissfully and her baby bump was not visible yet.

She was standing beside Qi Chengzhi. He looked exceptionally handsome in the picture. Even though she was carrying his child and was almost finished with her trimester, she still felt proud and excited whenever she thought about this remarkable man was her husband. She felt like she had accumulated a few lifetimes of karma to have his love. He never once looked at other women throughout their time together.

Song Yu could feel a sense of warmth slowly filling her chest while she looked at those pictures and could not resist her giggles.

Qi Chengzhi stood still on the ladder and his hands stopped moving. He tilted his head and stared at Song Yu with his eyebrows arched. He asked with a confused smile, “What are you laughing about?”

Song Yu blushed slightly and raised her head. She had the urge to kiss him when she met his gaze.

Just when this thought popped in her head, the doorbell rang. Song Yu went to answer the door since she was nearer. She saw two strangers through the screen of the answering machine. “May I know who you are?”

“Hello, we’re Mu Huaisheng’s parents. I’m Mu Huili and this is my wife, Fang Anci,” Mu Huili answered.

Song Yu turned around to look at Qi Chengzhi where he nodded. She then opened the door to let them in.

Qi Chengzhi did not come down from the ladder right away. He continued nailing the picture that Song Yu passed to him just now.

When Song Yu opened the door to let Mu Huili and Fang Anci into the house, he had just finished hammering the last shot. Mu Huili and Fang Anci stood at the entrance and saw him. They were surprised that he was wearing a thin, casual T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbow and a hammer in his right hand.

Back in the days when Qi Chengzhi was studying in America, he had been to the Mu family’s house to have a meal. He was an introvert and looked as if he was untainted by worldly matters. He did not seem like he would carry out such a mundane task.

They never thought that he would be a family man.

Qi Chengzhi left the hammer on the ladder and nodded at them. “Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu.”

Fang Anci laughed dryly while her gaze fell on Song Yu’s belly. “You’re Song Yu, right?”

Song Yu nodded her head and greeted them the way Qi Chengzhi just did. “Please come in.”

They entered the living room and saw the mess on the table. Song Yu explained, “We were arranging the photos.”

Fang Anci nodded her head smilingly. Song Yu did not put them aside since they would continue to put those up after sending them off.

Qi Chengzhi sat down beside Song Yu with a cold expression and said not a word.

Song Yu saw that Mu Huili and Fang Anci remained quiet and the latter could only laugh awkwardly, she went in and told Aunt Yang to prepare some snacks.

Mu Huili glanced at Qi Chengzhi and started talking first, “Chengzhi, we’re here for Sisi. We know that she had caused a lot of trouble all this while. We came here to apologize and also to inform you guys that we had started planning her marriage to Gao Jingqiu. She won’t harass you guys in the future.”

Qi Chengzhi extended his arm to take the cup of tea. He took a sip and did not respond.

Mu Huili gave an awkward expression and continued, “I know that your relationship with Huaisheng was affected because of Sisi after she kept on bothering you guys. I know that we don’t have the right to use our past relationship to ask you for a favor, but we still came here thick-skinned to ask you guys. You guys are aware of the incident that happened to Sisi this time. Can you please keep it a secret? She’s about to get married, and we’ll keep an eye on her to prevent her from creating more troubles. If this goes out, it’d ruin her life for sure, not to mention her marriage.”

Qi Chengzhi looked at him blandly. He did not beat around the bush and said in a cool tone, “As long as she stops harassing us, I’ll keep my end sealed.”

“I heard from Huaisheng that you got a copy of the surveillance footage from the bar?” Mu Huili probed him.

“Indeed so. Even though I won’t talk about it, I feel more secure if I have something on hand. If not, what can I do if Mu Sisi tries to frame me? Also, she’ll be more honest if I have the evidence, am I right?” Qi Chengzhi said coldly.

Mu Huili knew that Qi Chengzhi would not hand over the video. He could only sigh without saying anything further.

“Song Yu, how far are you in?” Fang Anci looked at Song Yu’s tummy smilingly.

“A little over six months,” came Song Yu’s gentle reply.

“You have to invite us to your child’s full moon party,” Fang Anci interjected hurriedly.

Qi Chengzhi glared at Fang Anci from aside. He knew that the Mu family wanted to take this opportunity to get back into the social circle. The Mu family’s status had gotten a little shaky after that incident in MU.
