Su Hua changed into her own clothes and came out of the fitting room.
Her assistant helped measure her body dimensions, ensuring precision for every part.
After the measurements were done, Su Hua walked over to the sofa and sat down, flipping through her phone.
Earlier, in the fitting room, she had taken a few photos of herself in the wedding dress in front of the mirror. She wanted to keep the most beautiful one as a memento, but after much deliberation, she found each one too beautiful to delete.
Gu Beixian glanced sideways and smiled, "If you like it so much, why not just take a set of wedding photos?"
Su Hua looked up from her phone, surprised.
The implication was clear: they were about to get divorced, so why take wedding photos?
Gu Beixian reached out and ruffled her hair, "If you want to take them, just do it. Don't worry so much. Tomorrow is the weekend, I'll be free in the afternoon. I'll come pick you up after I'm done. It's settled."
Qin Shu handed a cup of milk to Su Hua, "The wedding photo studio is right next door. The owner is a good friend of mine. You can go there to take the photos. I'll give her a heads-up and squeeze you in."
Su Hua took the cup, giving Qin Shu a grateful look.
Of course, she wanted to take the photos.
Apart from the photo on their marriage certificate, she and Gu Beixian had never taken any pictures together.
Taking a set of photos would be nice, something to remember by.
When they got old, they could look back and reminisce about the time she deeply loved this man.
She turned her head slightly, secretly watching Gu Beixian.
The soft orange light cast a gentle shadow on his jawline and high nose bridge.
The man she loved was breathtakingly handsome.
The next afternoon.
Gu Beixian arrived at the hospital on time to pick up Su Hua.
At the wedding photo studio, Su Hua went to get her makeup done while Gu Beixian waited outside.
The ladies' makeup room was enormous, with several people getting their makeup done.
Su Hua closed her eyes, sitting quietly in front of the makeup table.
The makeup artist brushed foundation on her face, asking, "Miss Su, what brand of skincare products do you usually use? Your skin is so good, just a light layer of foundation is enough."
Su Hua didn't know what brand of skincare products she used.
They were gifts from Gu Beixian, imported from France, with a long French name, supposedly custom-made.
She didn't understand French and couldn't remember the brand even after three years. She smiled apologetically and said, "I'll ask my husband later and let you know, okay?"
The makeup artist said enviously, "Your husband loves you so much, even takes care of your skincare."
The word "love" made Su Hua pause.
He treated her well, but was that love?
Suddenly, a sweet voice came from beside her, "Sis Su Hua, are you here to take some photos too?"
Su Hua felt a headache coming on and slowly opened her eyes.
She saw Chu Suosuo, already made up and wearing a yellow tulle gown, smiling at her from a meter away.
The makeup room was crowded, and Su Hua didn't want to engage with her, so she just nodded slightly.

But Chu Suosuo wasn't planning to let her off, curling her lips into a malicious smile, "Sis Su Hua, you grew up in the countryside, this must be your first time taking photos, right?"
Her voice was loud enough for everyone in the makeup room to hear, and they all turned to look at Su Hua.
Their gazes were quite telling, clearly viewing her as a country bumpkin.
Su Hua was speechless.
Her grandparents had worked in the city when they were young. After retiring, they moved back to their old home at the foot of the mountain because her grandfather had asthma, and the doctor recommended a place with good air quality.
She came from a single-parent family. Her mother had to work, and there was no one to look after her when she was young, so she went back to the countryside with her grandparents.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with the countryside; the environment was good, and the people were simple and honest.
Facing Chu Suosuo's smug gaze, Su Hua said lightly, "I'm not taking photos, I'm taking wedding photos."
Chu Suosuo's meticulously made-up face instantly fell, looking quite ugly as she said sarcastically, "Are you kidding? You and Brother Beixian are getting divorced, why take wedding photos? It's unnecessary."
Su Hua remained calm, "It was Gu Beixian's idea."
Chu Suosuo didn't believe it, "You must have pestered him to take them. Brother Beixian never liked taking photos."
Su Hua couldn't be bothered to respond, closing her eyes and letting the makeup artist continue.
Chu Suosuo stood there, glaring at her for a while before leaving.
When Su Hua finished her makeup and went to the waiting area to find Gu Beixian, she saw Chu Suosuo sitting next to him, leaning close and whispering intimately.
She couldn't hear what they were saying from a distance.
Feeling a bit irritated, she quickened her pace.
Seeing her approach, Chu Suosuo raised her voice on purpose, "Brother Beixian, you and Sis Su Hua are getting divorced, why is she still pestering you to take wedding photos?"
Gu Beixian replied indifferently, "It was my idea."
Chu Suosuo was taken aback, "But you don't like taking photos."
She had wanted to take a photo with him before, but he always politely declined, saying he didn't like taking photos.
Gu Beixian looked up, his eyes brightening as he saw Su Hua in her radiant makeup and white wedding dress walking towards him. Distracted, he replied to Chu Suosuo, "It depends on who I'm taking them with."
It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
Chu Suosuo felt a chill from head to toe, utterly defeated.
Suppressing her emotions, she forced a smile, "Brother Beixian, Uncle Gu said that after you and Sis Su Hua divorce, he will marry me. Isn't taking wedding photos with her now a bit disrespectful to me?"
Gu Beixian glanced at her coldly, "My divorce from Su Hua has nothing to do with marrying you."
"But Uncle Gu said we're a perfect match, childhood sweethearts. He considers me the future daughter-in-law of your family." Desperate to save face, Chu Suosuo's tone became aggressive.
Gu Beixian frowned slightly, already losing patience.
Everyone has a rebellious side.
Being forced to divorce by Gu Aoting had already made him very unhappy, and witnessing Chu Suosuo's provocations towards Su Hua repeatedly had almost exhausted his guilt towards her.
"Whoever promised you that, go find them."
With that, Gu Beixian stood up, walked over to Su Hua with his long legs, and took her hand. He looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with a gentle galaxy, and said softly, "You look beautiful today."
Su Hua cooperated, gazing at him with a sweet smile, "You too, you look super handsome today, the most handsome groom."
She playfully gave him a thumbs-up.
The two shared a knowing smile and walked away hand in hand.
As they turned a corner, they let go of each other's hands simultaneously.
Su Hua said, "Thank you for giving me face."
Gu Beixian casually put one hand in his pocket, "It's the least I could do, considering this is all because of me."
They walked into the photography studio side by side.
Meanwhile, Chu Suosuo, watching them leave hand in hand, was seething with anger.
She picked up her phone and called Gu Aoting, "Uncle Gu, Brother Beixian and Su Hua are taking wedding photos. What are they doing? They're about to get divorced, but they're acting like newlyweds. Are they still getting divorced or not?"
Gu Aoting's forehead veins throbbed with anger.
But to calm Chu Suosuo, he said, "Maybe they want to take some wedding photos as a keepsake before the divorce. Both Su Hua and Beixian have signed the divorce papers, only the final procedure is left. Don't worry, stay calm."
Hearing that Gu Beixian had also signed the divorce papers, Chu Suosuo's heart settled.
They had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, with over a decade of emotional foundation.
She believed that once they divorced, she could definitely win him back.
In the photography studio.
Su Hua and Gu Beixian stood in front of the backdrop, posing according to the photographer's instructions.
They put their arms around each other, hugged, and kissed, perfectly in sync.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a sweet, loving newlywed couple.
Even the photographer kept praising them, saying they were the most good-looking and well-matched couple he had ever photographed.
Su Hua smiled on the outside, but felt a bit sad inside.
What good was it to be a perfect match on the outside?
They were from different worlds, and they were about to get divorced.
Gu Beixian noticed the sadness in her eyes, and holding her waist, he whispered in her ear, "If you can't bear to leave me, then don't. Let's just make do. Whatever you don't like about me, I can change."
