"If it's a couple's outfit, naturally it needs to look like a couple's—quite simply, you have to wrap your arm around Mr. Hao's neck, lift your left knee up, press your thigh against Mr. Hao's lower abdomen, and then you and Mr. Hao kiss," said Photographer Li indifferently.

"Impossible! Shameless! I could never accept such a demand!"

Li Chuyue had not expected the other party to make such a shameless request. How could she possibly accept it? Aside from that one kiss with Liu Wentian earlier, she had never had any kissing experience. How could she possibly give her first kiss to Hao Chengkang?

Photographer Li scolded loudly, "Li Chuyue, how can you call this shameless? Do you not have the basic professional ethics? This is art, you should feel honored to make such an artistic sacrifice. We're aiming to capture perfect results, not the sleazy stuff you're thinking of in your head!!"

You shouldn't view artistically intended content through prejudiced lenses. Haven't you seen 'Lust, Caution'? Big stars can strip for art, but now we're only asking you for a kiss and you're unwilling. There's a problem with your attitude!! Since you've become a model, you should cast aside your vulgar thoughts and not think about all this nonsense. Many supermodels are even willing to pose nude for the sake of perfect results, that's art, not shamelessness!!"

Photographer Li went on with his flowery speech, but Li Chuyue still shook her head resolutely, "Sorry, if that's the case, then I won't shoot. I'm just an ordinary woman, I have no desire to become a supermodel, nor do I have any inclination to make such an artistic sacrifice. Photographer Li, you'd better go find someone who is prepared for that."

"You... so vulgar!! So superficial!!" Photographer Li chastised her again, but Li Chuyue simply ignored him.

If reasoning with her wasn't working, perhaps he could sway her with profit.

Photographer Li's eyes darted around as he said, "Miss Li, I understand this might be a sacrifice for you. How about this? If you accept my request, your compensation will be five times the original amount, what do you say??"

Li Chuyue was meant to receive a 20,000 yuan payment for completing this advertising shoot, which meant that now, if she would accept the offer, she could earn a 100,000 yuan reward. That was a substantial sum.

Li Chuyue still shook her head and said, "It's not a matter of money, but a matter of principle. Other than my future... my husband, I won't kiss anyone else, nor will I have any intimate physical contact."

She was about to say 'future husband' but then she remembered Liu Wentian claiming to be her husband in front of Hao Chengkang, so she blushed and decided to omit 'future'.

Meanwhile, Hao Chengkang's face darkened as he glared sharply at Photographer Li.

What a waste, even such a simple task was too much to handle.

Hao Chengkang had been rattled by the news of Li Chuyue having a husband earlier in the cafeteria, so he went straight to Photographer Li and concocted this plot, intending to systematically break down Li Chuyue's defenses. He didn't expect Li Chuyue to not take the bait at all.

Since Photographer Li was new at the Lian Lian Model Agency, he had naturally agreed to every suggestion in hopes to curry favor with Hao Chengkang. In his view, the female models in the company would all be eager for the attention of someone like Hao Chengkang, who was both stylish and wealthy. How could Li Chuyue possibly refuse to kiss Hao Chengkang? Yet, Li Chuyue's reaction was unlike what he expected.

From his experience, many female models and stars were somewhat brainless. Just mention making an artistic sacrifice and they'd foolishly take everything as art and foolishly agree to it. But looking at Li Chuyue, it seemed she'd rather give up modeling than accept his proposition.

As Photographer Li was about to continue persuading Li Chuyue with the promises of artistic sacrifice and money, a somewhat mocking voice suddenly came from the side.

"Photographer Li, hello, I'm an adult film director. I happened to notice your wife and I think she's quite alright. I'd like to cast her in an art film. Would you be willing to let your wife make that artistic sacrifice? I'll pay and participate personally," Liu Wentian said with a chuckle.

Liu Wentian usually didn't get involved in Li Chuyue's work affairs, but now he just couldn't stand it anymore. This bastard was actually trying to force Sister Yueyue to kiss Hao Chengkang, what a joke. Just the thought of Li Chuyue kissing someone else made him want to tear that person to shreds!!

Experience exclusive tales on empire

Liu Wentian couldn't help but admit that he had a strong sense of possessiveness towards Li Chuyue—he would absolutely not allow anyone else to take any advantage of her. Thus, he couldn't resist beginning to mockingly taunt.

Since you keep harping on about 'artistic dedication,' why not let your wife be the one to practice this so-called artistic dedication, you shameless photographer!

"Who the hell are you? How dare you insult my wife? Insulting my wife is insulting me. Are you looking for a death wish!" Photographer Li glared at Liu Wentian and shouted.

"Hah, when did I ever insult your wife?" Liu Wentian asked with an innocent look on his face.

"Do you think I don't understand what you mean by 'little films?' You want my wife to shoot that crap, and even want to get in on the action yourself, and you still dare to say that's not insulting me? Do you think I'm an idiot!" The furious Photographer Li exclaimed.

With an aggrieved expression, Liu Wentian retorted, "How is that an insult? 'Little films' are art too, right? You actually take 'artistic dedication' as an insult. Do you still have any professional integrity? I thought you were part of the art world too!"

In a fit of rage, Photographer Li yelled loudly, "Bullshit artistic dedication! You think I'm sick, huh? Stop bullshitting me or I'll beat you up!"

"Oh, bullshit artistic dedication, huh? Since Photographer Li equates artistic dedication with bullshit, then why do you still let others 'dedicate' themselves in the name of art, using it to con people? Don't you think you're being utterly shameless?" Liu Wentian sneered.

"I..."

Only then did Photographer Li realize he had misspoken in his haste, and he noticed the contempt in the gazes of the several assistants nearby.

It turned out that this guy had been putting on an act all this time, spouting 'artistic dedication' with a sanctimonious air!

Photographer Li's face reddened under the scornful looks of the crowd and he shouted angrily, "Who are you, and who let you in here? What does this have to do with you? Get out!"

"Idiotic trash. Sister Yueyue is my wife—do you think this doesn't concern me? You scumbag, teaming up with that lunatic, thinking you can take advantage of my wife? Do you think I can't see what you're doing?" Liu Wentian glared at Photographer Li with fierce eyes that made him unconsciously step back.

"What, you say Li Chuyue is your wife? Impossible!" After regaining his composure, Photographer Li expressed surprise. To him, the unassuming man looked like a total loser. How could Li Chuyue, an otherwise ordinary supermodel who was likely aiming to marry into a wealthy clan like the Hao Clan, choose this guy?

The others also found it hard to believe, while Hao Chengkang was grinding his teeth with hatred, apparently wishing he could devour Liu Wentian whole to relieve his anger.

Everyone looked towards Li Chuyue, and they saw her blushing yet not saying a word in denial. In a matter concerning her reputation, her silence was tantamount to admission!

This guy really was Li Chuyue's husband, for heaven's sake. What was she thinking? Even though the guy was decent-looking, his entire outfit didn't look like it was worth even two hundred yuan!

Hao Chengkang could no longer stand the looks of envy and jealousy that people were giving Liu Wentian. He believed that should rightfully be his!

Enraged, Hao Chengkang demanded, "Liu Wentian, explain yourself! Who are you calling a lunatic? I haven't colluded with Photographer Li; all of this is for the job. Since you're Li Chuyue's husband, as a member of her family, you should understand and support her work. And you, Li Chuyue, what do you take your job for? Kissing and physical contact are all for the job, for the sake of advertising effectiveness. Whether you like it or not, you must do it. This is your responsibility as a contracted model of the company!"

"You're really quite shameless, aren't you? So you mean, as Sister Yueyue's husband, I should actually be responsible for supporting her while you take advantage of her? Because Sister Yueyue is contracted with your company, she should let you kiss her, let you take advantage? Liu Wentian scoffed and retaliated.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Smiling with contempt, Hao Chengkang said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. What can you possibly do to me? Whether she likes it or not, she must kiss me, and even as her husband, you can't stop it! Kid, do you understand now? Even if you can marry a beauty of that caliber, you can't keep her. Better leave Li Chuyue's side early and save yourself the humiliation! To put it bluntly, if I want to make you a cuckold, you can't stop me!"
