After Qing Yan finished showering, she came downstairs and saw fireworks blooming in the sky. Song Qiaoying smiled kindly and said, "Yan Yan, come here quickly. Let's take a family photo together!"
A famous photographer and his entire team were standing under the fireworks, waiting.
Beneath the dazzling night sky, Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying, with benevolent expressions, each held one of Qing Yan's hands. "We've wanted to take a family photo with you for a long time, but we never had the chance. Sasha happened to be out with friends," they said.
That's alright. This way, they could take a picture that belonged exclusively to the three of them. After all, they were the true family connected by blood.
"I'm wearing pajamas..."
Before Qing Yan could finish her sentence, Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying both chuckled in unison, "It's fine, it's fine..."
They intentionally wore pajamas too, looking even more like a family.
They wanted to capture the essence of their everyday life in the photos.
"Okay, everyone, get closer!"
"Mr. Li, your collar is a bit crooked, and Mrs. Li, lower your chin a little."
"Miss Qing Yan, could you smile a bit brighter?"
Qing Yan raised her smile, and the camera clicked continuously.
"Switch sides, switch sides!" Song Qiaoying happily swapped positions with Li Yuanfu.
The fireworks in the night sky became their backdrop as the two of them held Qing Yan's hands, their faces filled with happiness.
Qing Yan had never felt so intimately loved by her parents. They held her indulgently, as if she were their most precious treasure.
"Okay, let's change to another set."
After the photographer finished shooting in the garden, they took many candid shots in the living room.
Qing Yan was tightly held by them, and her heart had never felt so warm.
After shooting more than a dozen scenes, Song Qiaoying still wanted to continue, but Li Yuanfu smiled and said, "Let Yan Yan rest for a bit. We've been shooting for a long time tonight."
"Madam, we've already shot over ten scenes, and we have thousands of photos," the photographer also expressed concern about their fatigue and facial expressions.
"We'll take more properly arranged photos when the five brothers return!" Li Yuanfu lovingly massaged Song Qiaoying. "Bring some tea."
A servant brought in some lemonade, and Song Qiaoying placed a straw in it before handing it to Qing Yan. "Yan Yan, have some water. Are you tired?"
Qing Yan shook her head and took a sip, finding it surprisingly sweet.
Sweet to the core.
"Would you like some pastries?" Li Yuanfu placed an entire plate of treats in front of Qing Yan. "Do you like the pink macarons? Or do you prefer pudding? Fruit tarts, perhaps? How about decorated sugar cookies? If you don't like any of them, Dad will have them remade!"
"Mom and Dad, you choose first." Qing Yan took the plate and offered it to them first.
Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying were deeply moved. They usually didn't have desserts at night, but this time they each took one. The photographer sent all the digital photos to Song Qiaoying's phone first. Song Qiaoying looked at themselves captured in countless frames, feeling satisfied and joyful.
Every shot was taken perfectly, natural...
"Yan Yan, come and take a look. Do you like any of them? I'll send them to you first."
Qing Yan selected a piece of fondant cookie, accompanied by lemon juice, and scanned through the photos with her gaze. "They are all great."
"Then I'll send them all to you." After Song Qiaoying finished sending them, she continued to admire, saying, "These are so well-taken! Especially these few..."
Li Yuanfu saw her setting the photos as her phone wallpaper and followed suit, saying, "I want to set it as my wallpaper too!"
After finishing the snacks, when Qing Yan returned to her room, she saw her parents admiring their photos on the sofa. The happiness on their faces couldn't be concealed.
The next day, after Qing Yan finished breakfast and was ready to go to work, she noticed that Li Yusha's expression was not good. It seemed that she had found out about the family portrait taken last night.
At this moment, Li Yusha was somewhat resentful, glaring at Qing Yan, desperately suppressing her anger. Her eyes almost swallowed Qing Yan whole.
Qing Yan only glanced at her and withdrew her gaze, getting into Si Yechen's car.
On the other hand, Li Yusha was quite angry and complained to Zhang Mama behind her, "Last night, a friend got married, and I went to be her bridesmaid. After I came back, they had finished taking the photos and went to sleep!"
She was furious!!
They didn't even wait for her!!
They set off so many fireworks, hired so many photographers... and they just went to sleep after the photos were taken, without considering her feelings at all.
"Madam's heart doesn't have you in it..." Zhang Mama secretly worried for her. "Miss Yusha, you need to act quickly. Listen to me, you can't delay anymore! Otherwise, your position in this family will continue to diminish..."
"But..."
"You can't hesitate anymore!"
Hearing Zhang Mama's words, Li Yusha bit her lip and made up her mind.
Country N.
A private helicopter stirred up a strong wind as it slowly landed on the top floor of a towering skyscraper.
The tall, handsome, and cold man had just stepped onto the stairs when a CEO hurriedly caught up to the top floor. "Boss, wait, there's a sudden issue with the downtown project. Can you stay a few more days?"
The man had a cold and indifferent expression, emitting a compelling aura. Upon hearing this, his gaze turned frosty.
The young assistant beside him spoke, "Boss is eager to go home and see his sister. He has already been delayed for more than ten days due to work. You can follow up on this project with Manager Xu, and if there are any problems, report them to Boss."
"Assistant Xu, you don't know yet..."
Before the CEO could finish his sentence, he noticed Xu Nuo's gaze fixated on his right foot.
It was then that he realized he had stepped onto the mobile staircase.
He quickly took a step back and bowed respectfully, "Boss, have a safe journey, and Assistant Xu, take care."
The helicopter roared as it took off, stirring up a gust of wind.
The astute and cool man spoke softly, "Have you chosen the gifts?"
"Boss, they're all prepared!" Xu Nuo replied respectfully. "There are three gifts in total: a limited edition perfume set, a limited edition lipstick set, and a limited edition skincare set."
Since Xu Nuo couldn't be sure which one the Boss wanted to give to his sister, he prepared one of each.
Whether it's perfume, lipstick, or skincare products, they are all currently popular among girls.
But the dignified man spoke with a faintly cold voice, "Too light."
Xu Nuo suddenly realized that these gifts were too light and hurriedly said, "It's my oversight. After getting off the plane, I will rearrange everything."
"Which brand is most favored by girls in the country now?" the man asked in a subdued tone.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Nuo replied, "Of course, it's QY."
Three years ago, QY emerged out of nowhere and gained recognition in high society circles due to its unique and innovative designs, with only one piece produced for each garment... It quickly garnered popularity among socialites, heiresses, and celebrities.
Shortly after, QY introduced shoes, handbags... shocking the entire fashion industry.
QY's designer, Mu Qing, won several international awards, leading the brand to leap from an obscure eighteen-line brand to an internationally renowned one.
"I heard that QY recently launched a brand new jewelry collection, each piece being one of a kind..." Xu Nuo said, immediately handing his tablet to the man to show him.
