[Top male model, an icy, jealous king × Beautiful woman-loving, slow-witted female photographer]
"The clothes... can I take them off?"
The towering man, at least 190 centimeters tall, glanced down at her impassively, then went back to looking at his phone.
Jian Yinwen awkwardly lowered her camera and stole a quick glance at his chest:
Tsk, what a waste of a body like that if he isn't going to sell his sex appeal.
As a rookie photographer, Jian Yinwen never expected her first assignment in the industry to pair her with Zhuang Yutang, the most difficult model to work with.
The more handsome he was, the more old-fashioned his personality.
Wet-look shots, bare shoulders, a glimpse of his abs... He vetoed every idea.
In the end, all she could do was hand him a teddy bear pajama set that covered him up from head to toe. Wrapped in fluffy fabric, the man kept a straight face throughout, and the shoot ended in a hurry.
No one expected the photos to become a trending topic.
"Aww, he looks so adorably grumpy."
"What a great candid shot! Give the photographer a bonus!"
"How could anyone not melt at that look?"
Thanks to those photos, Zhuang Yutang shot to the top of the fashion world as its leading male model, while Jian Yinwen became an overnight sensation.
Offers came pouring in from all sides.
The sweet and obedient younger guy was a delight, and even a little-known actor willingly put on flowers and a veil, baring his collarbones and cooperating perfectly, just to get an amazing shot from her...
Only after leaving Zhuang Yutang did she realize that the world outside wasn't rainy at all.
Then she had to work with that difficult man again.
Jian Yinwen cautiously brought out her idea for a wild leopard-print fur look, ready for him to reject it.
The man knitted his brows, the tips of his ears turning red. After a long silence, he actually nodded.
Jian Yinwen's eyes lit up. "You really are okay with shooting it the way I imagined?"
The tall man leaned over, enveloping her in his shadow. He undid three buttons on his black shirt, revealing glimpses of his cool, pale skin and lean muscles.
She began to stammer.
"W-what are you doing?"
He casually pushed aside the stacked sample photos on the table. A refined movie star, a sunny top-tier star, a wild, dark-skinned beauty. Beautiful faces of every kind filled the table.
He pointed to one of them:
"Am I more handsome, or is he?"
"Who?" Her mind was still trying to identify which beauty it was, and she couldn't answer in time.
His cool fingertips had already brushed her glistening lips. His breath grew heavy as he leaned in another inch.
"Whoever it is, I'm the only one allowed in your viewfinder."
"So, will you sign a long-term contract with me?"
# The untouchable beauty has fallen from her pedestal, oh no!
# He's so proud, yet he's the one chasing her
