“Closer…
“A little closer…
“… Alright; that's good . ”
Pei Ge felt extremely awkward while getting photographed for their marriage certificate together with Ji Ziming .
She knew very well that this marriage was fake, yet she still felt extremely nervous sitting beside him and getting pictured like this .
“The bride, don't be too nervous; smile a little more . ”
Whoosh!
Her face instantly reddened at the photographer's words . Now, with her cheeks' rosy glow, it was as if someone had applied blusher on her face .
“Alright . The groom, please look at the camera . ”
The man's cheeks did not take on a red hue at the photographer's instruction, but his ears still turned a light pink shade .
Kachak!
The two sighed in relief when they heard the camera's

This picture-taking session for their marriage certificate photo was finally over!
“This photo would look even better if the bride had makeup on . ” The photographer grinned at her .
Pei Ge could not help but pout at Ji Ziming for this .
If she knew that today would be her wedding day…
No, that's not right . Even if I knew of this in advance and that my groom would be Ji Ziming, I would still choose not to put any makeup on .
Everything is a lie, so it doesn't matter how I look in the wedding photo . This marriage has an expiration date, after all .
Thinking up to this, the rapid beating of her heart returned to normal .
He noticed her dismay but mistakenly attributed it to the photographer's words .
He could not help but scold himself inside,
Why didn't I think of this? How about… we get the marriage certificate tomorrow, instead? I'll have her wear some makeup, then .
He was about to suggest this, but as he thought of something, he promptly swallowed his words .
“Here . Though the bride isn't wearing any makeup, she still looks really good in this picture . ” The photographer passed the photo to her with a smile .
While she already told herself that it did not matter how she looked in the picture, she could still not help but feel happy when the photographer said that .
Receiving the photo for the marriage certificate, she stared at the couple standing against a dark-red background . The more she looked at it, the more she liked the photo .
In the picture, the extraordinarily handsome man was well matched by the totally average woman . In fact, the pair was pleasing to look at .
The couple sat at an intimate distance . The woman's lips had a shy and open smile and, though expressionless, the man's eyes twinkled gently . Indeed, the two looked like newlyweds .
A sweet smile slowly crept into her face as she continued to gaze at the photo .
After a while, the man, who had totally been ignored at the side, snatched the photo from her hand out of curiosity .
“Ahh!” she screeched in shock when the photo was taken from her without warning . She turned around and saw the man carefully studying the picture .
“Mhm, it's nicely taken,” he finally commented after some time .
The photographer felt very pleased with himself when he heard his comment .
This was his first time photographing newlyweds that were extremely compatible in a picture despite not having comparable looks in person .
More importantly, this photo had the best feel to it out of all the pictures he had taken in his whole career as a photographer .
“Let's go get our marriage certificate . ” Ji Ziming carefully held the picture in his hand .
She nodded in acquiescence . For some reason, ever since they finished taking this photo, her feelings for the man had become much calmer .
“Alright . ” She followed him out of this room for photographing couples .
The two that were deep in their thoughts remained quiet even after they were out of the room .
Walking quite a distance, the pair finally spoke .
“I—”
“That—”
The two stared at each other in surprise . A short pause later, they spoke again .
“You go first . ”
“You go first . ”
Not only did they happen to speak at the same time, they even said the same words . It was as if they had a tacit agreement on what to utter ahead of time .
“Pftt!” She could not help but be amused by his stunned look .
“Cough!” he coughed lightly when she laughed, his ears slightly turning pink . “You go first . ”
She stopped laughing at once and nodded her head before saying, “CEO Ji, I need to visit the washroom; you can wait for me at the lobby . ”
He raised a brow at this .
She thought that he was going to disagree, but he unexpectedly easily nodded in assent . “Sure; go on . ”
A bright smile lit up her face when he easily agreed to her .
“Oh, by the way… What does CEO Ji want to tell me?” she asked, feeling curious .
“Nothing . ” He peered at her with cold eyes .
She pouted at his answer, muttering inside,
Who are you trying to bluff? You clearly want to tell me something just then! Tsk!
“What are you still standing here for? I thought you need to use the washroom?” he reminded when she merely stood pouting at him there .
“Oh, I'm off; I'm off . ” She blinked, then promptly turned, and walked away .
“Wait; the washroom is not in that direction . ” He frowningly pointed to a certain direction when he noticed her heading the wrong way .
She froze on the spot and instantly wore an awkward look on her face .
“Ha ha… I'm going in the wrong way, it seems…” She laughed dryly and then walked toward where he had just pointed .
Staring at her until she disappeared from his sight, he resolutely turned around and walked back into the room they had just exited .
