Although Zhu Qianying thought this way, she had no intention of asking Yan Shao for confirmation. She was still young and cherished her life. She would not do anything that would lead her to her death.
Zhu Qianying changed into her wedding dress and was halfway through her makeup when Yan Shao got into the car. He changed into his suit in the compartment and came out, where another male makeup artist applied light makeup to him. By then, Zhu Qianying's makeup was also finished.
She thought Yan Shao was planning not to speak to her all day, but Yan Shao spoke up when the makeup artist was tidying up the miscellaneous items.
"I just saw Xing Bolun and a few others..."
Zhu Qianying knew she was bound to run into them, because the stables opposite the pavilion were where their horses were kept.
"Oh..." Zhu Qianying answered absentmindedly.
Even though Yan Shao said that, Zhu Qianying couldn't think of anything to say next. Moreover, she was more worried about Xing Bailun than Yan Shao at the moment.
Yan Shao stared at her. "So, you arranged to go horseback riding with them today?"
Zhu Qianying then looked up at him. "Yes, we made the appointment a few days ago."
Now that he knows, there's no point in hiding it. She even hopes that after hearing the news, Young Master Yan will suddenly go crazy and say he won't film here anymore.
Yan Shao looked at her thoughtfully for a while before saying, "That's wonderful, having good friends witness your beautiful moment of taking wedding photos."
Zhu Qianying frowned slightly. Why did his words sound so unpleasant?
"I told them the exact location where we took our wedding photos and welcomed them to come and visit anytime," Yan Shao added with a smile.
In contrast to Zhu Qianying, Yan Shao seemed to be in a very good mood, with a slight smile on his lips.
Having witnessed his methods of punishing Xing Bailun and the others, Zhu Qianying couldn't show her displeasure now, even if she was unhappy.
"They're here to have fun, so they're not interested in watching us take pictures."
Of course, rather than saying that this was Xing Bailun's true idea, it was more accurate to say that it was what Zhu Qianying hoped for.
"Are you sure?" Yan Shao had a cryptic smile on his face.
"Of course, taking wedding photos is tiring work. Apart from the couple themselves, who would want to stand there for hours?"
As Zhu Qianying spoke, she reached out and pulled open the curtain of the car window, casting her gaze upon the lush green grass outside.
"You find it tiring too?"
Zhu Qianying turned her head, met Yan Shao's eyes, and smiled, "Of course not! I'm very happy, very blissful!"
Yan Shao's scrutinizing gaze lingered on Zhu Qianying's face for a while. "Zhu Qianying, you can be a little less intelligent."
Zhu Qianying knew he had seen through her true thoughts, so she shrugged and said, "Young Master Yan, isn't it just that you like me because I'm smart and know how to handle things?"
Yan Shao gritted his teeth fiercely, "Yes, I like you just the way you are!"
Zhu Qianying didn't say anything more, lest she add fuel to the fire.
"Young Master Yan, are you ready?" The makeup artist, who had gotten out of the car early, knocked on the car window and asked.
"Alright!"
Young Master Yan opened the door, got out of the car, and walked away, leaving Zhu Qianying, who was extremely inconvenient to move in her wedding dress, to get out of the car with the help of the makeup artist and her assistant. One person helped her lift the long train of her wedding dress, while the other helped her walk in the direction Young Master Yan was heading.
Wearing high heels, Zhu Qianying walked unsteadily for a short distance on the grass, finally getting used to it. "No need to help me, I can walk by myself."
She's perfectly healthy and in no pain, so it's strange that she needs help walking.
Fortunately, they hadn't gone far when they saw Young Master Yan leading a beautiful white horse back.
He walked up to her, stopped, and looked her up and down.
"Take off your shoes first!"
Zhu Qianying understood what he meant. Mounting a horse in high heels was no easy feat.
She obediently took off her high heels, and the sharp blades of grass pricked the soles of her shoes, making her unbearably itchy.
Zhu Qianying curled her toes and pleaded with Yan Shao for help, "Young Master Yan, can I go up first?"
It was rare for Yan Shao to see her show weakness to him, so he nodded kindly and reached out his hand to her.
Zhu Qianying's feet were extremely ticklish, but she couldn't care less about that now and hurriedly put her hand on Yan Shao's hand.
Seeing her so cooperative, Yan stepped forward, bent down, and before Zhu Qianying could react, she had already been lifted into the air by Yan Shao.
This posture unexpectedly reminded Zhu Qianying of that night in the top-floor room of the KTV, when he had suddenly picked her up in the same way.
Does this mean that the man is about to lose his composure and go crazy again?
As it turned out, Zhu Qianying was overthinking things. Yan Shao carried her to the saddle and gestured for her to put her feet on the footrest. Zhu Qianying immediately understood, stepped on the footrest, and with the help of Yan Shao's upward lift, she pushed off and sat steadily on the saddle.
"Miss Zhu can ride a horse?" The makeup artist couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhu Qianying's smooth and handsome movements.
"Yes." Zhu Qianying nodded.
While she was chatting with the makeup artist, Yan Shao also swiftly sat on the saddle behind her.
"Whether she can do it or not is not important, as long as I can."
It's unclear whether Yan Shao was referring to Zhu Qianying or the makeup artist.
The makeup artist immediately replied, "That's right. It's obvious that Young Master Yan is an expert. Miss Zhu can rest assured."
Zhu Qianying had no worries about this at all. She knew very well that since Young Master Yan had agreed to come here to take wedding photos, he must be an extremely skilled horseman. The kind of person he was would never expose his weaknesses to others, and he would also do everything he could to avoid any situation that might expose his shortcomings.
"I've always trusted him completely!"
Zhu Qianying's words were highly ambiguous.
Sure enough, the makeup artist winked at her knowingly, then smiled at Young Master Yan and said, "Young Master Yan, you and Miss Zhu are not only a perfect match in appearance, but also very affectionate. It's truly enviable."
"Nonsense, who would get married if they weren't in love?" Zhu Qianying couldn't see Yan Shao's expression when he said this, but she could roughly imagine it. In any case, he had a pretentious smile on his face.
In fact, both she and Yan Shao were very clear that there could be many things between them, but there was nothing like "affection".
However, Yan Shao is a well-known figure in L City and even the whole country, so he can't accept outsiders talking about him marrying a bride who only loves his money. Therefore, this public display of affection is something she has to play along with.
"Sister, anyone would fall head over heels for a handsome prince like Yan Shao, and so would I!"
Zhu Qianying mentally gave herself a thumbs up, although she almost threw up her breakfast in order to make her words sound as pleasant as possible.
Perhaps her words had an effect, because Yan Shao, who had been sitting quietly behind her, suddenly reached out his long arm, wrapped it around her waist, and pulled his arm back, causing her to crash into his chest without any warning.
"Me too!" Yan Shao's seemingly sincere yet unrealistic words rang in her ears!
