Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 681: You are so beautiful

The photographer especially enjoyed taking pictures of the handsome pair. She was so mesmerised by them that she wanted to take pictures of them at every attraction on the Luo family estate.

She led them to the garden maze and like a director on a movie set she kept demonstrating how to pose.

The pair of new husbands walked hand in hand as they ventured into the garden maze. The photographer followed behind them saying, "Yes yes... hold it right there... okay, now turn like this and look at each other. No Mr Qie not like you are about to fight him. Look enchanted and mesmerised. Yep more like that... now turn your head slightly yes, hold it," she kept saying with so much focus like she was creating the world’s greatest masterpiece.

After running around the garden maze like Pacman with the photographer and her team being the ghosts, they went to the Pagoda. Luo Muchen was extremely stimulated today because the man he had fallen in love with since he could understand what love was, was now his. His actions were slightly aggressive and possessive while being tender at the same time. He cupped Qie Xieling’s face as his fingers on his man’s waist tightened pulling him closer.

Qie Xieling placed his hand on Luo Muchen’s chest while asking, "What are you doing?"

The tip of Luo Muchen’s nose brushed against his while whispering, "Just a quick kiss. They won’t see. There were layers of fabric between them but Qie Xieling could feel the heat of Luo Muchen’s body against his own. Luo Muchen couldn’t restrain his inherent aggression and raging hormones and Qie Xieling could sense it. How could he resist such an intense emotion?

Luo Muchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he leaned in to kiss his husband’s lips. The kiss was as light as a feather and fleeting leaving the person being kissed desperate for more.

The photographer who was seriously adjusting the shutter speed and focal length raised her head and caught this scene. She silently raised her camera and captured this moment. The frozen frame amplified Luo Muchen’s gesture and was filled with all the love and devotion he felt for this man who had become the centre of his world.

Unaware that his actions had been captured Luo Muchen grazed Qie Xieling’s lips with his thumb as he murmured, "You are so beautiful," his voice low and filled with tenderness. "I can hardly believe that you are mine." Qie Xieling’s ears and cheeks became uncontrollably hot at his words.

"Damn, these two have no conscience," whispered the photographic assistant while setting the equipment box down. He had followed her to plenty of weddings but this was the first time he saw a couple being so sticky.

After messing around at the Pagoda, they also took photos by the fish pond. The entire time Luo Muchen’s gaze never left Qie Xieling. Even when they took separate portraits his line of sight was constantly on his man like he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

Qie Xieling thought that the morning was tiring but he was wrong. The wedding feast was on a whole other level. When they entered the large tent that had been set up for the wedding reception, Qie Xieling was dazzled.

"You like it?" asked Luo Muchen while interlocking their fingers together at the entrance, "I picked the decorations." Luo Muchen’s eyes shone bright as he stared at him. It was as though he was waiting to be praised.

"I love it. It looks beautiful," said Qie Xieling before biting his lower lip slightly restraining himself. He was itching to kiss him but there were too many people around.

The master of ceremony announced the arrival of the new couple drawing the attention of the guests. Qie Xieling looked away from those dazzling lips and whispered, "Let’s go." Hand in hand the pair stepped on the raised aisle made of displays of soft ripples of water flowing. With each step they took the water rippled just like the soft ripples on a calm lake.

They stood at the centre of the platform, their intertwined initials illuminated in gold. The air hummed with excitement as the prestigious guests chatted, their laughter mingling with the soft notes of traditional music.

Lanterns hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the banquet tables. Each table had a beautiful flower bouquet made of crimson peonies, delicate orchids, and fragrant jasmine. The scent of incense and candle wax lingered in the air, creating an intoxicating atmosphere.

After being introduced as the new couple they began to serve the guests wine. Qie Xieling resplendent in a silk brocade robe embroidered with dragons moved gracefully among the guests. His fathers, grandmothers, uncle, and family friends sat at the head table, their eyes filled with pride.

"Madam Luo. You look stunning," teased Wen Danzhe while raising his cup. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Qie Xieling grinned foolishly while his father’s face turned dark. "He is still a Qie," he murmured before downing the cup of wine.

"Yes, yes he is still your son. Why are you getting defensive?" replied Nana Qie trying to appease her son.

Qie Xieling and Luo Muchen didn’t stay for long. They walked around serving and toasting the rest of the guests. Luo Muchen was following Qie Xieling like a devoted shadow. His arms would occasionally wrap possessively around Qie Xieling’s waist, and he would lean in to murmur sweet words in his ear.

Qie Xieling would blush while secretly revelling in Luo Muchen’s attention. It was as though Luo Muchen had been granted permission to finally display his affection in front of everybody with no restraint. He didn’t even care who was in front of him. Be it the generals from the army or the first lady.

The table of generals raised their cups in toasts, their voices booming and the pair of husbands raised the cups as well before drinking the wine. Seeing Luo Muchen’s arm around Qie Xieling’s waist they couldn’t help but tease.

"You kid, are you afraid the whole world will not know that that is your wife, huh?" said the tall man. The other burst out in laughter and began to tease him one after the other.

Qie Xieling was laughing along with others when his mother-in-law tapped his shoulder and asked him to follow.
