Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 446 - 459: Dressed to Impress

Fengren’s event?

Su Xingyu glanced at him. Since she returned to the country with Han, she’s only been working on Cloud’s projects and hasn’t involved herself in any of Fengren’s matters.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What event? I don’t want to pack my schedule too full. The projects from Cloud are enough. I’ll spend the remaining time with Jue and Han."

Great, spending time with the kids, not him?

Mr. Lu gave the little guy lying on the ground a cold stare, planning to find a kindergarten in a few days to send the two kids away.

But given the current situation and the recent incident at the previous kindergarten, he didn’t dare bring it up with Su Xingyu. So he just mentioned Fengren’s event, "It’s not really work. Fengren has developed a new type of camera that completely surpasses previous models in performance. It’s reasonable to call it the most high-end camera ever. Xingyu, I know you love photography and would definitely be interested in this camera, so I’d like to invite you to the camera launch event to witness it first-hand. The VIP seat in the front row, right in the center, how about it?"

A new camera from Fengren?

Su Xingyu’s eyes brightened. She indeed had an interest.

Just like weapons are for warriors, cameras are photographers’ weapons, especially from a big brand like Fengren that claims to launch the most high-end model ever. She definitely has to see it.

"Alright, then thank you." She replied, not bothering with formalities.

Lu Shifeng’s lips rarely showed a hint of a smile. It was hard to move her, and he didn’t regret all the overtime he, along with many staff, put into creating this camera.

He reminded her, "Remember to wear a dress on the day."

She nodded, knowing that at such high-end launch events, mostly reporters and industry talents would be invited, and dress codes would have formal requirements.

On the day of the launch, she indeed carefully chose a long dress layered in soft ice-blue gradient tulle designed by a famous designer. The elegant low-curved strapless dress was adorned with scattered diamonds, softly cinched at the waist, then blooming slightly like a lily bud. It unfolded along the shape of a girl’s graceful legs, layers getting thinner, front narrow and back deep. Finally, there’s a barely-there gentle train trailing on the ground, resembling an elegant and captivating fairy princess. The accessories paired with this elegant dress were equally striking, diamond shining like stars.

Su Xingyu stood in front of a full-length mirror looking at her reflection. It was so beautiful that even she couldn’t help but admire it.

However...

She reached out to touch her face, and her hands met skin smooth as jade, yet still tender and vulnerable to dust.

The launch event was crowded and noisy, and the quality of air was unknown. Su Xingyu thought, considering she was advised to keep her face covered for some time, might as well continue taking care of it. She found a matching head veil from the wardrobe, carefully donned it on her hair, styled part of the tulle like a veil over her face, revealing only her clear eyes.

After dressing up, she rode in Lu Shifeng’s Bentley with him to the event venue.

In the car, he said, "You look really beautiful."

Perhaps it was the anticipation of witnessing the new camera unveiling, she was in a good mood today, smiling pleasantly and rarity replied, "Thank you, you look quite handsome today too." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Actually, Lu Shifeng looked handsome every day. This man seemed born to be a coat hanger, tall and slim, making anything he wore pleasing to the eye. Yet, tonight he looked particularly impressive, although wearing a similar black suit and white shirt as usual, the suit’s design was more formal, and he had carefully folded a small handkerchief in his pocket, which seemed familiar to her.

He noticed her gaze fell on his pocket, then took the handkerchief out to show her, "Do you recognize it?"

She watched as the small handkerchief slowly unfolded in his hand, her breathing slightly paused.

She had almost forgotten...

But, once he opened it, she instantly remembered it was the very handkerchief from over four years ago when she learned embroidery from Mrs. Lu at the old house and sent it to him after finishing it. The stitches were dense, with some places crooked and clumsy, yet the roses on it blossomed beautifully and passionately, just like how she felt then...

Just like that hopeful heart at the time.

Complex emotions flickered deep in her eyes, and after a while, she said softly, "I always wanted to give you the best, feared gifting other things that you couldn’t use or remember me, think of me, That’s why I embroidered this handkerchief with the thought you might use it during formal events."

Her voice was light, echoing softly within the Bentley’s space, "But now, in my eyes, it’s just a normal handkerchief."

It was as if a faint crack sounded in Lu Shifeng’s heart.

He said, "Xingyu, but it holds a completely different meaning for me. You succeeded because seeing it makes me think of you."

"Why bother." She gently turned her head aside.

The car atmosphere turned somber. He carefully folded the handkerchief back into his pocket.

The Bentley stopped at the event venue’s entrance. He and she stepped out, walking inside along the red carpet.

Outside the red carpet barriers were many journalists without entry qualifications, snapping photos at them and discussing, "It’s Mr. Lu from Fengren! Mr. Lu and Miss Axing came together, rumors say they are cohabiting, seems true?"

"What Miss Axing, that’s the very lady, Su Xingyu, the young wife from four years ago, isn’t it?"

"Can’t be possible, she’s been covering her face all along."

"Don’t you think she looks beautiful even with her face covered?" Then, a daring reporter shouted, "Miss Axing, look over here!"

She gently turned her head, and her long tulle dress beautifully flared in the air, even with the veil covering her face, her pair of clear eyes dazzled everyone.

The shutter sound and flashes merged into cacophony.

Lu Shifeng naturally moved to shield her a bit, separating the photo-taking reporters, causing another stir.

"Mr. Lu treats her well indeed."

"Really, I think it won’t be long before they announce their wedding."

A crowd discussed, reluctantly watching them proceed into the venue.

Tonight was an event for Fengren, Lu Shifeng had to go on stage to speak, he didn’t sit with her in the VIP seats, instead, after settling her, he headed backstage.

Su Xingyu gracefully took her seat, indeed sitting in the best spot in the center of the front row.

Beside her, another person sat down; she turned to look and recognized an old acquaintance.
