Chapter 396: The Persistent And Unyielding Lu Yue

Lu Yue watched as the large pickup truck weaved through the traffic and gradually disappeared from sight. He was stuck at the traffic light and couldn’t help but slap the steering wheel in frustration.

A month of waiting, and now the person had slipped away! How could he be willing to accept this?

Although he had managed to get a photo of Mo Fei and that little girl, it was just a small gain. But what could this photo prove? Others could deny that the child was a relative, and as an experienced paparazzi hunter, he knew such photos wouldn’t fetch a good price.

He needed to get some solid evidence!

Lu Yue wasn’t discouraged. He held onto his determination and drove his car in the direction where the big pickup truck had disappeared, searching street by street.

……

At that moment, Yang Yi and Mo Fei were having their photos taken at the oath-taking venue.

To prepare for the wedding photos, Yang Yi and Mo Fei had made some preparations, but it was nothing special. They didn’t like to be too ostentatious, so they both wore white shirts. After removing their jackets and standing against the red backdrop, the white shirts contrasted with the red background, making them look particularly vibrant.

“Excuse me, could you wait a moment?” Yang Yi gestured and turned around to help Mo Fei fix her hair.

Others might feel high-spirited during happy occasions, but Mo Fei felt a bit dazed today. She had been wearing a hat before, and after removing it, her hair looked a bit messy. She hadn’t remembered to fix it herself.

“Should I touch up my makeup? I’m wearing light makeup today,” Mo Fei felt sweet in her heart as Yang Yi held her face, but she was still a little worried.

“No need, you look great as you are, very beautiful,” Yang Yi said softly.

The photographer was used to such scenes. He directed Yang Yi and Mo Fei to pose properly. As soon as they smiled, he made a hand gesture and said, “OK!”

“So quick?” Mo Fei asked in surprise, not having time to fully prepare herself.

“Don’t worry, I’ve taken photos for so many people; the results will be fine!” The photographer waved his hand impatiently. He was past the age of being a fan and didn’t recognize Mo Fei.

“Master Fang, please take a bit more time and shoot a few more photos, and pick the best ones!” Fortunately, Yang Yi had the guidance of a tall (fat) man and knew some unspoken rules. With a smile on his face, he slipped a pack of cigarettes and a few folded banknotes into Master Fang’s pocket.

“Well, actually, the one just now was pretty good.” Master Fang glanced at his pocket with a smile on his face, “But if you want to take a few more photos, then take a few more. After all, you’ll be paying for the prints.”

What he said wasn’t wrong. Although his attitude might have changed before and after receiving the money, the photos he took didn’t have any major flaws. Aren’t all ID photos like that? They were still decent, though there was a noticeable difference compared to carefully posed shots and post-processing.

Since the other party was so “generous”, Master Fang was happy to go along with them. They took a few more wedding photos, and Xixi also joined in. Master Fang even brought over a stool for her, allowing the little girl, who wasn’t quite tall enough, to appear in the center of the frame with her parents.

Finally, they had to choose a photo. Of course, the one that would be put on the marriage certificate could only be the photo of Yang Yi and Mo Fei. However, Yang Yi, Mo Fei, and Xixi all liked another photo. In the photo, with the red background, Yang Yi and Mo Fei had just exchanged a knowing glance and were now smiling broadly at the camera, while Xixi’s smile was even brighter, her big eyes turned into crescent moons.

It was rare to capture a photo where both Yang Yi and Mo Fei were smiling so naturally, and with the family of three in the frame. It was no wonder Yang Yi and Mo Fei liked it so much.

“Master Fang, please print a few more copies of this one,” Yang Yi said, then explained to Mo Fei, “I want to put this in my wallet!”

“Me too. I’ll put it in my wallet and take with me wherever I go,” Mo Fei said, smiling happily at Yang Yi.

Xixi even held the previously printed photo tightly and refused to let go. She imitated her father and pouted, saying “I want one too. I want to put it in my bag!”

“Then put it in the inner pocket, and don’t lose it!” Mo Fei helped her open the small bag and taught her how to keep it well.

The most sacred moment came when they received the marriage certificate from the female official. It was two small red books, and when opened, they each had a photo of the couple together inside.

Looking at Mo Fei with tears welling up in her eyes, Yang Yi embraced her and whispered in her ear, “Wife!”

The term still felt a bit unfamiliar, but Mo Fei was full of joy hearing it. She raised her head and responded shyly, “Husband…”

It was indeed unfamiliar, not as casual as calling each other by name. However, it was all part of a process they need to get used to.

The female official looked at them with a smile and offered some congratulatory words, “…Finally, congratulations on becoming a legal couple! Mo Fei, I wish you a happy and fulfilling life together!”

Usually, she would also mention having children soon, but since they already had such a big daughter beside them, she chose not to mention it.

Being a star, Mo Fei managed to maintain her composure. She quickly calmed her excited emotions and, together with Yang Yi, gave wedding candies to the officials in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Originally, Mo Fei planned to ask the female official to distribute the candies for them. However, some people came by to chat, and the news ended up spreading within the Civil Affairs Bureau. Some officials who admired Mo Fei came to ask for her autograph, and a few who liked to watch the excitement also joined in. Mo Fei and Yang Yi graciously handed out the wedding candies to them.

Of course, there were also some fans among the officials who ask to take photos with Mo Fei, even Yang Yi was not spared. At such a joyous occasion, Mo Fei would never refuse and agreed to all requests. After some time, in order not to delay other’s wedding work, the photo-taking location was even moved to a conference room in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

No matter what, Mo Fei was still very happy to have them witness her and Yang Yi’s happy moment, though she did ask them not to spread the news.

……

At this moment, Lu Yue, who had been driving and persistently searching for Mo Fei’s whereabouts, finally made a discovery!

Yang Yi had been living a comfortable life for a while and had become somewhat careless! After shaking off Lu Yue, he hadn’t driven far and had arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. So, Lu Yue searched a few streets for over an hour, and finally, he spotted the familiar large pickup truck by the roadside!

After all, Yang Yi’s car was so conspicuous!

There were probably very few Tyrant Wolf in the entire Jiangcheng, and this car was tall and big. Parked by the roadside, it was a head taller than other small cars, just like a bus parked next to an ordinary van. Lu Yue looked over and immediately noticed it!

“Did I find it?” Lu Yue still couldn’t believe his eyes because he didn’t think he could actually find it. It was just his stubborn determination that wouldn’t let him give up.

“Is this really the car?” Lu Yue parked his van several dozen meters away and took out his binoculars to look again.

But the license plate was blocked by a small car parked next to it, so Lu Yue was unable to confirm it.

He gritted his teeth, set up his camera in the van, started recording, then locked the van and grabbed his phone before stepping out.

He pretended to be a passerby and walked past the large pickup truck.

This was risky; he had been beaten up before. But if he really did get beaten up, he wasn’t afraid, because he had the camera rolling! A star hitting someone, or even instructing others to hit someone, would make for big news!

Even if it was not exposed, any star would have to pay to settle the matter.

If he got beaten up, he could earn back the medical expenses plus interest!
