Spending real money to cater to her preferences was naturally the most important factor. But the main thing was that Luis understood her like the back of his hand, perfectly cooperating every time she showed off or boasted.
This feeling of being understood, of having a kindred spirit, was absolutely wonderful. To put it bluntly, even if it wasnât love, it felt like having a true confidant.
He kissed Lily until her pretty eyes were hazy with desire and she was almost breathless. Only then did Luis stop, giving a soft laugh and saying, "Wife, you are the most beautiful."
"Youâre so annoying..." Lily smiled blissfully, her face completely intoxicated with happiness.
The first day of shooting took place inside the studio. It was relatively simple, with no outdoor scenes, and they followed the photographerâs directions to strike various affectionate poses.
The shooting itself wasnât exhausting, but just after finishing three sets, Nancy walked over with a visibly troubled expression and said, "Lily, Deewa has something she would like to discuss with you."
The bossâs wife, Deewa, immediately explained, "Itâs like this. Our studio has just opened, so we donât have much material to use for display and promotion. Right now, the storefront is being renovated and we are also lacking these kinds of display pieces."
"I wanted to ask for your opinions. Besides your photos, would it be possible for Mr. Luis and Sister Nancy to also help by taking a set of photos that I could use for display?"
"Ah, my husband and my eldest sister taking wedding photos together?"
Lilyâs eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.
Leah, never one to worry about offending people, giggled and said, "Itâs just false advertising, second sister. They were too embarrassed to say it to your face, but itâs mainly because my brother-in-lawâs height and physique actually look very well-proportioned when he stands next to my eldest sister."
Worried the bride might be upset, Deewa cautiously added, "Itâs mainly because of their height ratio. Even with their faces covered, the shots would still be quite impactful."
"Promotional photos are different from regular wedding photos."
Deewa patiently explained. Even though they are sisters, what woman doesnât feel a little jealous, especially at a time like this.
Lily hesitated for a moment, then looked at Nancy and asked, "Eldest Sister, what do you think?"
Looking at her handsome brother-in-law, Nancy felt her heartbeat quicken slightly. She pulled Lily aside and whispered, "For me, a married woman, itâs no problem, of course. Besides, I used to do part-time modeling work and took plenty of photos back in the day. Iâm mainly worried you might get angry."
"No, weâre here as her customers, why should we help her?"
Lily was indeed a little angry.
Even though it was her own biological sister, seeing the two of them stand together, they did look more well-matched. The usually unjealous official wife felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.
"Itâs your decision."
Nancy was secretly eager, well aware of her younger sisterâs temperament. Lowering her voice further, she said, "Deewa said if we agree to help, the entire cost this time will be free. You know wedding photos arenât cheap."
"Really, for free?"
The slightly irritated Lily suddenly had a gleam in her eye.
Nancy, accurately gauging her sisterâs thoughts and personality, immediately tempted her, "Thatâs right. Her studio is newly opened, and sheâs trying to save money on model fees, which is why sheâs setting her sights on us."
"Your eldest sister has the confidence for it, and your husbandâs physique is no worse than those male models, so thatâs where the idea came from."
"The previous couples we photographed werenât exactly easy on the eyes and werenât presentable. This time, sheâs just trying to get the most out of us."
Hearing this, Lily was tempted. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Then Iâll ask my husband if he agrees."
"Let me talk to him."
Nancy thought to herself with a hidden, expectant smile, thinking that âfreeâ was impossible; theyâd probably give a small discount.
But as for the money, this old lady will cover it. It wouldnât be so bad to treat my brother-in-law like a model and have a little fun with him.
"I donât mind!"
Luis thought his sister-in-law was quite cunning. Although his wife might feel a bit displeased.
However, if thereâs an advantage to be gained, Lily would generally accept it.
Leah ran over, and upon hearing about this, immediately raised her small hand excitedly and cheered, "I want to too! I also want to take wedding photos with my brother-in-law!"
Deewa immediately giggled in agreement, "I think that would be lovely! Youâre so cute; the photos would definitely look beautiful. It would have that bridal classroom feeling."
Looking at the girl with the youthful face and huge boobs, her eyes lit up; she was one hundred percent willing. In terms of womanly charm and sexiness, she definitely couldnât compare to the stunning Nancy.
But her strength lay in her own unique allure. That adorable little face, dewy and tender, charming and enchantingâif she were to wear a wedding dress, it would surely make certain creatures with wicked intentions feel restless.
Nancy said with a serious expression, "Little sister, what kind of photos are you, a young girl, going to take? Youâre only in high school, for goodness sake."
Lily chimed in, "Exactly. You should save the wedding dress for photos with your future husband. Itâs not like you, unlike eldest sister, have already taken them."
"Why does that make me sound like a faded flower or a fallen willow, like Iâm beyond caring?"
Nancy retorted with a laugh and a scolding tone.
"Thatâs not what I meant!"
Lily stuck out her little tongue playfully and giggled, "Eldest Sister is already married, so of course itâs different from a young girl."
"Ugh, you two are such old fuddy-duddies. People get married and divorced these days; why be so particular?"
Leah said with a playful laugh, "Besides, whatâs the big deal about a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law taking a photo? They already said itâs for advertising. Donât tell me, second sister, youâre even going to be jealous about this?"
Honestly, these three sisters... their conversation seemed normal, but why did it sound just a little bit strange?
Luis felt a sense of trepidation inside. Seeing them all smiling so brightly, he couldnât shake the feeling something was a bit off. Right now, he didnât even dare to fart, and if he did, it wouldnât make a sound.
"Just for fun, fine then!"
Lily ultimately agreed.
After all, if the eldest sister took photos, the younger sister wanted to as well. Playing favorites would really be unfair.
The two of them cheered and ran off to choose wedding dresses.
Luis held the somewhat unhappy Lily in his arms, letting her sit on his lap. In a tone caught between laughter and tears, he said, "Wife, youâre just using me as a tool."
"They are just too rowdy."
Although Lily felt a sourness in her heart, it melted away the moment her husband held her. She asked in a coquettish, dripping tone, "Husband, later, when you take photos with them, will you need to do things like kiss?"
"If you want my life, just say so directly."
Luis wasnât going to fall into that trap.
Lily, however, smiled with an air of nonchalance, "Whatâs the big deal? Eldest Sister is already a wife; itâs not like youâll lose a piece of meat."
"And what about Leah?"
Luis said grumpily, "Once the shooting is over, whoâs to say your sisterly bond wonât lead to any of you three slapping me? Iâd be in trouble then. What if I get ganged up on? Where would I go to reason then?"
"You think every young girl these days is as sweet and cute as they seem on the surface? Leah is actually quite a crazy girl in private, you know."
Lily smiled with an ambiguous expression, "Besides, itâs her dear brother-in-law weâre talking about. Donât you know that Lily likes you the most?"
Luis said with a nonchalant smile, "Nonsense, I am so good to her."
"I am not talking about that kind of sisterly fondness, but a girlâs romantic affection..." Lily said with a meaningful look, "I just do not believe my husband cannot see it. The way Little Sister looks at you, her gaze is so tender it seems about to drip water."
