Cameras All Over

A tall, lanky man who was clad in a dark hoodie and a baseball cap stood in wait at an inconspicuous corner near the towering Lé Amoúr Suites and Restaurant. He held a long range DSLR camera in his arm and seemed as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.

Moments later, a man in an elegant and sleek gray suit stepped down from a white Bugatti Veyron and walked into the restaurant. A series of soft clicks broke the silence in the hidden corner. When his subject disappeared from the view, the other man lying in wait stopped taking photos and took out a phone. He typed in a text message and stayed still at his place.

On another part of city, a similar shady man with the same type of long range DSLR camera was lurking around a corner of Z University's gates. He caught the arrival of a distinct black Maybach which stopped near. The man smiled deviously when he caught the form of slender, beautiful young woman walking towards the car. He did not wait any longer and started snapping away at the scene.

He specifically made sure to take the indistinct form of another person inside the car. He continued to take pictures until the car drove away from the place. Similarly, he took out a phone and replied to a message he received a little while ago. He then hurriedly mounted a motorcycle and followed the car discreetly.

A phone's muted ping rang out back at the hidden corner near the restaurant. And the man present nodded in approval while keeping the phone away. He readied his camera once again and waited for the rest of his subjects to arrive.

Yan Qing Shan looked at the impeccably dressed Zi Jue by her side. He looked even more made up and dashing than usual. Her eyes were about to spew out hearts in admiration. He was dressed in a black suit as dark as midnight. The silver buttons glittered subtly like stars. His tie bar and cufflinks were understatedly luxurious, evident of his preference.

Zi Jue's hair was tousled sexily adding to his charisma. Yan Qing Shan pouted as she stared at him. At this rate, Young Master Lan really might fall head over heels for her man. She didn't know if she would feel flattered or pissed. The man in question seemed to have noticed her intent gaze. He suddenly turned to her with questioning eyes.

"What's with that look baby?" Zi Jue asked while he put away his tablet. His work can wait. For now, it seems like his baby needed some loving attention. His brows furrowed when Yan Qing Shan didn't reply. She instead sighed audibly and had on her a worried expression.

"I'm afraid my joke might become reality. At this rate, Young Master Lan will really fall in love with you. You look too handsome." Yan Qing Shan said, her pout becoming more pronounced. Zi Jue couldn't help but chuckle at the uncalled for compliment. Lately, he has realized that Yan Qing Shan was far from the cold, icy woman she portray to be. She was too cute and dangerously adorable. She had a blunt innocence about her that she wasn't aware of.

He couldn't help but pinch her little nose. His baby girl was being silly. Zi Jue was very much a straight man. And very much unavailable. He couldn't even pry his hands off his baby girl much less give attention to insignificant people.

"Silly. Stop thinking senseless things. On the contrary, you better not flirt with that man or I'll turn him to a eunuch." Zi Jue warned. Yan Qing Shan let out a playful laugh.

"He'll probably thank you for that though." She replied. Zi Jue held her soft, slender hands in his and looked at her tenderly. This woman doesn't seem to realize just how ravishing she looked today. Too much that it is capable of turning a gay man, straight.

She was garbed in a cream-colored dress which was cinched at the waist and had bell-sleeves. It showed off her slim waist and elegant form. The square neckline exposed her fair throat which was currently decorated with a blood red ruby necklace. Her hair was curled to emulate natural waves. And on her face was a thin layer of makeup which enhanced and illuminated her features.

Coral nude colored her lips, a light flush of pink in her cheeks, and her bright eyes had a halo of burnt ochre. Zi Jue couldn't help but curse. He wanted to hide Yan Qing Shan away. He didn't want them to meet this so-called prospective fiancé. Even if he was gay.

Zi Jue went over the torture schedule he had in mind for Yan Qing Shan's stepmother. He planned to add a few more to that so he could vent his anger. That damnable woman and her schemes. He swore to himself that after Yan Qing Shan was done with her, that fiend will get some more from him.

Housekeeper Liu announced that they had arrived at Lé Amoúr Suites and Restaurant. The couple step out of the Maybach one after the other and proceeded inside the luxurious restaurant. Yan Qing Shan gave Zi Jue a sweet smile as he wrapped his arm around her waist possessively.

Unbeknownst to them, there was a pair of feasting eyes and a camera nearby unceasingly capturing the intimate way they held each other. A forboding smirk stayed in his face even after the couple was nowhere to be seen.
