Chapter 267: Chapter 141: An Embarrassing Mission

He ran out of the bedroom, only to return a moment later.

Xiao Wanqing noticed Su Ran had a strange expression on his face.

"What’s wrong?"

"Sister Wanqing, you’ll have to bear with me for a moment."

"No..."

RIP~

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK... Another flurry of photos.

Xiao Wanqing watched Su Ran’s expression. ’He’s so serious. He’s genuinely focused on this form of photographic art, with no lewd thoughts.’

’But do you have any idea how uncomfortable you’re making me by taking pictures like this?’

After the photoshoot, Xiao Wanqing finally collapsed in exhaustion.

"Don’t fall asleep. Go wash off the body wash."

"I’m too tired. I can’t walk. You carry me to the bathroom." ℯℯ𝑙.

Su Ran put down his camera and scooped Xiao Wanqing into his arms. "Sister Wanqing," he said, "have you forgotten how to walk lately?"

"Mhm, I’ve forgotten how to walk. I just like it when you carry me."

Su Ran smiled proudly. ’Men love to hear girls say things like that.’

After placing Xiao Wanqing in the bathtub, inspiration struck Su Ran again. "Wait..." He then went TAP, TAP, TAP, running out to grab his camera. He aimed it at Xiao Wanqing in the tub and unleashed another barrage of photos.

"..." Xiao Wanqing was speechless. ’So inspiration can strike anywhere, huh?’

’Might as well just play along. It’s my own fault for loving him.’

Once the pictures were taken, Xiao Wanqing could finally lie back comfortably in the tub and enjoy her bath.

Su Ran sat on the sofa outside, flipping through the photos one by one. They didn’t need any editing at all; every single one was beautiful.

Setting the system task aside, Su Ran genuinely enjoyed capturing these beautiful moments for the women in his life. He saw them as memories of their youth, things they could look back on and appreciate when they were old. It was certainly a worthwhile thing to do.

"Sister Wanqing, you’re so beautiful."

"Thankies~"

After looking through the photos, Su Ran waited for the system to review and grade them. The system would automatically select the three best photos and score them. A score over 90 was a pass. If he failed, he would have to keep shooting.

After a short wait, the system responded.

’Ding! The system’s scores have been calculated. The results are as follows:’

First Photo: [Office Lady Professional Style]

Score: 94

Critique: Her graceful figure perfectly embodies the "queen of the workplace" style. Her outstanding temperament showcases the most beautiful side of a modern, urban, white-collar professional.

Second Photo: [Pleated Skirt, Gradient Pink]

Score: 96

Critique: To die beneath a pleated skirt is a worthy fate. Her waist is a deadly blade.

Third Photo: [Torn Stockings and Body Wash]

Score: 100

Critique: ************************

"This..."

’The critique is full of censored words! Holy shit, that’s so lewd and explicit!’

Composite Score: 96.

’Congratulations, Host, you have completed the photography task. Please proceed with the five remaining tasks.’

’Four of the five remaining tasks shouldn’t be a problem.’

’It’s just that [Beautiful Married Woman] one that’s a bit difficult.’

’Hmm... Sister Piaopiao, I’m counting on you.’

The system hadn’t specified who it had to be. No one knew why Su Ran was so fixated on Sister Piaopiao. It must be because his thoughts were so pure.

...

「The next day.」

In the early morning, Xiao Wanqing and Su Ran were in the presidential suite, enjoying an exquisite breakfast while admiring the early morning view of the Huangpu River.

"Sister Wanqing, you didn’t go home last night. Are you going to get yelled at when you go back later?"

"Oh, so you do feel guilty?"

"I’m just worried about you."

"How insincere. If you were so worried I’d get scolded, then why did you keep me here last night and not let me go home?"

Seeing Su Ran at a loss for words, Xiao Wanqing caressed his face and said with a bright smile, "Don’t worry. I’m an adult, and my parents really like you. They won’t scold me."

"Alright then. I’ll take you to Disney for a fun day today."

"Okay."

After breakfast, Su Ran and Xiao Wanqing went downstairs and took the Maoyue Hotel’s private car to Disney. Naturally, he brought his DSLR camera and acted as her personal photographer, taking pictures of her all day long.

Every moment Xiao Wanqing spent alone with Su Ran was her happiest. It was a sweet, carefree kind of bliss.

Happy times always fly by. That evening, Su Ran walked Xiao Wanqing to the entrance of her residential community.

"I’ll see you off at the airport tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

And with that, they parted ways.

Xiao Wanqing, wearing an adorable cat-ear hat that perked up when she squeezed it, hummed a song and skipped happily home.

"Mom, Dad, Su Ran bought you gifts!"

Back home, Xiao Wanqing placed the gifts on the coffee table and called her parents over.

"Oh? The kid brought us gifts?"

Mr. Xiao stubbed out his cigarette on the balcony and walked over expectantly.

"Dad, don’t you love listening to audiobooks? Su Ran bought you the latest model of noise-canceling earbuds. Try them on."

Mr. Xiao put them on. "Hey, not bad at all! The second I put them on, I can’t hear your mom’s voice anymore. This noise-canceling is amazing!"

Xiao Wanqing snickered. ’Dad’s really asking for it.’

Mrs. Xiao: "Does that kid think I’m annoying and talk too much, too?"

Xiao Wanqing: "No, Dad just likes them, so he bought them for him. Besides, this morning at the Maoyue Hotel, Su Ran was promoting your driving school. He told everyone that Master Xiao’s school is very professional and the instructors are excellent. He told the Maoyue staff who haven’t gotten their licenses yet to go to your school. He also called Manager Wang at the International Finance Center and told him, too."

Mr. Xiao laughed. "Hahaha, no wonder a dozen or so people suddenly came in for inquiries today! So it was Su Ran who drummed up the business for me. That kid’s not bad. Who told him I run a driving school?"

Mrs. Xiao said with a beaming smile, "Just yesterday morning after you left, Su Ran asked what you do. I mentioned you run a driving school, and I can’t believe he took it to heart. That kid is really something."

Xiao Wanqing: "Su Ran has always been very thoughtful. He never says anything to your face; he’s the type to always help quietly behind the scenes."

Mrs. Xiao: "Alright, alright, we know Su Ran is great. You don’t have to keep hyping him up, hahaha..."
