Chapter 416 - 394: The Young Mistress’s Ugliness is Not My Yan’er’s Problem
"Let’s change the background," the woman said, pulling the man to the edge of the seawater. Facing the sea, she pointed in front of her and said to Xia Yan, "Stand here and take the shot. The sky behind is nice."However, the back was actually in the shadow, and the lighting for such a shot wouldn’t be good. Xia Yan knew this, and she also knew that the woman was aware of it too. She was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Xia Yan didn’t say anything and walked in front of them. The woman said, "Move back a bit more. It’s too close. Take a full-body shot this time."
The seawater ebbed and flowed over her ankles. Though it wasn’t icy, it was still uncomfortable for a woman during her period.
She had thought it would be like the previous two scenes and finish in a few minutes, but this time it dragged on for over half an hour. The woman kept saying the expression wasn’t right, the posture was off, the angle was wrong...
She was finding every way to keep Xia Yan in the water.
Yang Hexuan stood not far away, watching. He didn’t step in to say anything. Compared to when she first arrived, she was now much more professional. However, she was still better at landscapes than portraits because she didn’t know how to communicate and only liked to pose and shoot still objects.
So he always said that she seemed like she didn’t belong to this world.
"Alright, Tingting, it’s getting dark. We’ve taken plenty at home too, it’s enough."
"It’s not enough!"
Ji Haoyu said, "You’re hungry too, and your health is important. If you want to take more photos, I’ll accompany you next time."
Hearing that he was concerned about her, the woman finally softened and said, "Okay, let’s call it a day then. Show me the photos you took."
Xia Yan walked out of the water. Her feet in sandals were somewhat numb by now. She showed the photos in the camera to the two of them.
Yang Hexuan walked up behind her silently and draped a coat over her shoulders. Xia Yan’s body noticeably tensed up, but she said nothing out of respect for the others present. Yang Hexuan asked, "Are you satisfied?"
The woman frowned in disdain and said, "It seems your photographer isn’t all that great. She made me look really ugly."
Yang Hexuan curled his lips into a smile and said, "I teach my photographers to capture the most authentic side with their cameras. So, Miss, I believe your ugliness isn’t Yan’er’s fault. What do you think, sir?"
"You!" The woman glared angrily at Yang Hexuan, then shifted her gaze to Xia Yan, who was easier to bully. She said, "I don’t want the photos. How much? I’ll pay in cash."
Yang Hexuan said, "If you don’t want the prints, we’ll charge by the negatives. Yan’er is my most capable photographer. For regular people, a photo session starts at ten thousand yuan per shot. Since you jumped the queue, it will cost you more."
"Ten thousand yuan per shot?" The woman looked incredulous.
Yang Hexuan calmly calculated, "Miss, you just said you would pay ten times the price. The photoshoot produced no less than a hundred shots. Given your husband’s past relationship with our Yan’er, I’ll give you a discount, five hundred thousand it is."
The woman’s eyes widened, and she swallowed hard, clearly shocked by the price. But not willing to lose face, she resignedly took out her wallet.
"Are you still paying in cash, Miss?"
She pulled out a card from her wallet and said, "Swipe the card!"
Yang Hexuan took the card and handed it to his assistant, saying, "I thought it was the gentleman who handled such matters."
With that, Yang Hexuan placed the card reader in front of the woman. It was quite a hefty sum, though he hadn’t expected the woman to have this much money. But judging by her expression, it probably took a big chunk out of her assets.
