Trapped In Paradise
Volume 3 Chapter 54 / Chapter 559: Wedding Photos
"Wedding dresses..."
Ning Chu stared at the dazzling array of wedding gowns before her, and her eyes lit up involuntarily.
Although she had always complained that taking wedding photos was too expensive, she had to admit that wedding dresses really were beautiful!
What would she look like wearing one?
She instinctively began to imagine it. Reaching out, she carefully ran her fingers over the fabric of a wedding dress, then turned around to look at Wen Yang standing behind her.
"You're smiling so much you can barely close your mouth. You didn't even want to come before we left."
Seeing the joy in her eyes, Wen Yang smiled gently.
"Pick a few. You can change into different ones for the photos later."
"Okay!"
Ning Chu immediately grabbed Lily and excitedly began circling around the dozen or so wedding dresses, her mouth chattering nonstop.
"Lily! What do you think of this one? The skirt is so long~"
"The red one in a qipao style is pretty too~ But I think the slit might be a little too high."
"This backless one looks good too, right?"
Lily's usual ice-cold expression had long since fallen apart. She kept nodding enthusiastically, her face filled with anticipation and envy.
She had her eye on a fitted mermaid-style wedding dress and excitedly pointed at it.
"This one looks good! You've got a great figure—it would definitely suit you!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
Ning Chu normally didn't like clothes that were too form-fitting. They made her look especially seductive, which meant she was liable to get teased at home and stared at by strangers when she went outside.
But there was no need to worry about that for wedding photos.
She gave the mermaid dress another once-over. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Turning to a staff member, she asked, "Excuse me, can I choose this one?"
"It's not included in the package? I have to pay extra?"
She and Lily both froze for a moment, then turned to look at Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was stunned as well. The three young people exchanged confused looks, once again getting a taste of just how treacherous the adult world could be.
He knew Ning Chu hated spending unnecessary money, so he had deliberately chosen the wedding-photo package with the best value for money. He just hadn't expected the catch to be here.
"Which ones am I allowed to choose?"
"These ones..."
"They're not ugly, exactly, but they're so ordinary."
Hearing the conversation and seeing his wife's excitement rapidly fade, Wen Yang finally decided to be the sucker paying the extra fees.
"Then let's upgrade it. Go pick two more outfits."
He waved the staff member over, afraid that Ning Chu would find out the price and have her good mood ruined.
"What a scam. They obviously just want to empty my wallet."
Ning Chu's mood had still taken a hit. With an unhappy expression, she continued picking through the wedding dresses while chatting with Lily.
"Wen Yang is the one paying, right?"
"But isn't that still our money?"
After looking through all the dresses, Lily stopped in front of the short qipao again.
"This one?"
"A Chinese-style outfit would be nice..."
"You're leaving tomorrow, right?"
"Before I left home, I already arranged with my brother to pick it up for me and mail it over."
Once Ning Chu started working, she would probably just want to lie around like a salted fish in the apartment during her weekends. Even going shopping with Wen Yang was mainly for relaxation. She doubted she would have any desire to go through the complicated, time-consuming process of taking wedding photos.
"That's so nice..."
Lily gently rubbed the fabric of a wedding dress between her fingers and murmured softly.
Ning Chu noticed the envy she could barely hide and teased her.
"Then you should find yourself a boyfriend too~ You're so pretty, your family has money, and if you lower your standards a little, wouldn't you be able to find someone easily?"
She was beautiful, had a great figure, and a pretty good personality. Her homemaking skills were maxed out, she had a postgraduate degree, and her future career prospects probably wouldn't be bad either. On top of that, she was a succubus who was unlikely to cheat!
She could take care of a household, earn money, and was seductive at night. Other than placing extremely high demands on her partner's kidneys, she was practically perfect.
But Lily shook her head with unusual determination.
"No."
"Just don't wait until Wen Yang and I already have kids while you're still playing with toys~"
Ning Chu leaned close to Lily's ear and whispered the teasing remark, only to get smacked for it.
Simply choosing the wedding dresses had already taken quite a bit of time. Fortunately, they didn't run into any more situations where they had to upgrade their package and ruin their mood.
"Ning Chu, come over and take a look."
Hearing Wen Yang call her, Ning Chu raised her head and looked over.
"How do I look?"
He stood there in a sharply tailored suit. The suit accentuated his physique, making him appear taller and more imposing, while also giving his temperament a more restrained, mature air—one that made him feel especially dependable and reassuring.
Ning Chu rarely saw him dressed in a suit. With just one glance, a smile spread across her face.
"Not bad. You almost look respectable~"
"Can you say something nicer?"
"Handsome!"
She jogged over to him. Standing on tiptoe, Ning Chu raised her hands to straighten Wen Yang's collar. Her smile grew even brighter as she lightly punched him in the chest.
"You look very dependable~"
"I am dependable, actually." Wen Yang smiled and patted the little succubus on the head. "Finished picking your wedding dress? Want to go get your makeup done?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Ning Chu wrapped both arms around her husband's arm. She kept tilting her head up to look at Wen Yang's face, as though she simply couldn't take her eyes off him.
He seemed to have put on some makeup as well. Perhaps it was the bonus effect of the suit, but Wen Yang looked even more handsome than usual today—so handsome that it made her legs go weak.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
"I suddenly started looking forward to the wedding..." She sighed with a hint of regret. "It's a shame we're only taking pictures."
"Before, you wanted to use the wedding money to go traveling instead."
Ning Chu shook her head.
"But then I thought about it, and traveling sounds even more exhausting than getting married. Climbing mountains and walking all over the place... You can't exactly just stay in the hotel and sleep all day, can you?"
"So we should just have the wedding instead~ Anyway, by then my mom will definitely have everything arranged. You and I just have to follow the schedule."
Wen Yang had long since gotten used to her habit of stubbornly refusing to admit when she had changed her mind. He simply went along with her.
"A wedding gives us a perfectly legitimate excuse to take time off work, and we can collect cash gifts from our coworkers. If we travel instead, they might even deduct our pay."
"Exactly, exactly! A wedding is definitely better! Time to harvest some sheep!"
Ning Chu was about to continue when a staff member called for her. She could only leave Wen Yang behind.
"Wait for me. I'm going to get my makeup done and change into my wedding dress~"
She wasn't gone for long.
When Ning Chu appeared in front of Wen Yang again wearing the wedding dress, his heart began to race, and his breathing unconsciously stopped for a moment.
Normally, Ning Chu either wore her hair loose or tied it into a high ponytail. Now, however, her hair had been curled and pinned up behind her head. Her usual lively appearance had been replaced by a gentle, graceful elegance.
The mermaid-style wedding dress made her figure appear slender and refined. The soft, fair skin around her shoulders and collarbones was exposed to the air, while the strapless bodice emphasized her curves. The fitted fabric traced the lines of her waist, hips, and thighs, highlighting her striking silhouette.
Ning Chu was a little shy. Keeping her head lowered, she glanced sideways at the stunned staff members. Fortunately, Lily thoughtfully came over and draped a jacket around her shoulders.
"Thanks."
The narrow skirt made it awkward for her to walk, so she took small steps toward Wen Yang. When she raised her head again, the embarrassment on her face had already turned into pride.
"Looks good, right~?"
Wen Yang looked down at her. His breathing became a little quicker, and after running through countless adjectives in his head, all he managed to squeeze out were two simple words:
"Yeah. Beautiful."
Ning Chu couldn't stop herself from laughing. Her graceful figure leaned against Wen Yang's arm.
"Come on! Let's go take some pictures!"
