Chapter 251: 251: Nostalgic Attack
Even though Li Yixuan has a bit of a taste for handsome men and is somewhat open in her relationships, she is very serious about her work and performs excellently. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have reached her current position.
The advertisement design for DOMORI is very simple, divided into three short films. The first film shows a prince from some country encountering a seemingly "old woman" crying in a park. Out of kindness, he offers her a handkerchief.
She says, "I just got dumped!"
The kind prince thinks for a moment and offers her a piece of DOMORI chocolate, and the "old woman" instantly transforms into a youthful, energetic, and beautiful noble lady.
Of course, the short film ends with the prince missing the chance to see her transformation due to a phone call.
In the second short film, the woman, now rejuvenated thanks to DOMORI, searches everywhere for the prince and discovers him speaking on television.
One prince, one Cinderella, she loses confidence, thinking she is not worthy of him.
But another piece of DOMORI helps her regain confidence and embark on a journey to find him.
Meanwhile, the prince is sitting in the palace, inviting his courtiers to taste DOMORI together.
In the third short film, at a palace ball, she eats DOMORI, enters like a queen, captivating everyone, including the prince.
"May I have this dance?" the prince asks.
She smiles, "Of course you may."
What seems like a perfect ending leaves a major twist: it was all just a dream of an ordinary boy about a prince. The story’s heroine is the real princess and his princess.
Suspense: The boy who ate DOMORI truly transforms into a prince and heads to the princess’s ball.
...
"Wow! Awesome!" Sam exclaimed in English as he held up his camera, showering Jiang Nuo’s creation with compliments and repeatedly saying how handsome someone looked, just the feeling he wanted!
Li Yixuan didn’t slack off either, and except for struggling to feel the part when acting as the heartbroken old woman, causing several NGs, she shone brightly when she transformed back to the confident princess, leaving everyone in awe.
The photo session was a bit lengthy, and Mu Qiuniang couldn’t sit still in the house forever. She painted for a while, felt a little neck pain, and decided to take a stroll around.
Mu Mingyu quietly followed behind her.
The DOMORI advertisement short film is a bit long, with both indoor and outdoor scenes, requiring a particularly high level of location. Therefore, their current shooting location resembles a garden, not only beautiful in scenery but also a private garden frequented by upper-class society figures.
Jiang Nuo and his team were shooting in the famous "Royal Garden" within "Venus Secret Garden." Due to the filming arrangement, DOMORI had completely booked the venue for a day, costing hundreds of thousands just for the location.
Mu Qiuniang and Mu Mingyu left the "Royal Garden" and entered the neighboring "Huaron Courtyard." It was filled with a variety of flowers—the pink roses climbing the roof, the white petals spread on the ground, the red floral arches, and the purple or blue floral balls appearing here and there, creating a dreamy beauty.
Standing amidst the blossoms, Mu Qiuniang, in a light blue ancient dress, looked like a lady roaming a garden, stepping gracefully on lotus flowers.
"Click—"
A soft sound made Mu Qiuniang and Mu Mingyu turn their heads simultaneously.
A young man in a custom-made white shirt stood elegantly with a single-lens reflex camera, smiling at them. Specifically, he was smiling at Mu Qiuniang: "Sorry! You looked so beautiful I couldn’t help but capture this moment in my camera."
Mu Qiuniang’s expression turned cold.
"Taking photos without someone’s permission is very impolite!" Mu Mingyu said sternly, making a protecting gesture to shield Mu Qiuniang at his side.
"Apologies! I’m a professional photographer. When I see something beautiful, I can’t help but take a picture." Although it was Mu Mingyu who reprimanded him, his gaze was fixed on Mu Qiuniang, unable to hide the admiration in his eyes, "Let me introduce myself, I’m Yue Youxi. May I know your name?"
"Yue Youxi?" Upon hearing this name, Mu Mingyu reacted, identifying the person, "Are you from the Yue Family?"
A few years back, when he was still a student, Yue Youxi had already started influencing the Yue family business, making a significant impact in the upper-class circle.
Unfortunately, he had an unreliable father, and it was well-known in the circle that as his career was rising, he was forced to "run away from home."
Until recently, when his idle, money-spending younger brother, Zue Youqi, made a mess, and Old Master Yue had no choice but to recall this eldest grandson.
"Yes!" Yue Youxi was not surprised that someone recognized him, considering how much he had left behind back then. However, he truly did not recognize the man in front of him, "And you are?"
"Mu Mingyu from the Mu family in the Capital City. We attended the same middle school, so technically, I’m your junior."
"Kyoto Middle School?" Yue Youxi subtly probed for his identity.
Mu Mingyu was straightforward, having nothing to hide, allowing him to probe.
"Yes! When I was in school, you had already graduated. There were many legends about you back then, and no one has broken the academic records you set for years."
At that time, Mu Mingyu genuinely admired him, particularly when he couldn’t break the academic achievements this person had set despite his efforts.
Yue Youxi smiled, "That was all in the past. Now I just dabble in photography, traveling around and capturing things I like."
When he said the last sentence, his gaze lingered on Mu Qiuniang.
This blatant confession was without any disguise.
Mu Mingyu was completely surprised, although he considered his own clan’s lady to be exceptionally outstanding, he didn’t think she was at the level to inspire "love at first sight," right?
"Honorable lady, this is Yue Youxi, the eldest son of the Yue family, one of the four major families in the Capital City. Although he didn’t personally attend, he did send the old butler to deliver birthday gifts at our great-grandfather’s birthday banquet last time."
Mu Mingyu, mindful of his family’s married status, hurried to hint, "Young Master Yue, this is our family’s honored lady. She is here accompanying the lord for work. The lord is busy right now, and since the scenery here is nice, I’m accompanying the honored lady for a walk."
He thought, he had hinted thoroughly enough; Yue Youxi should restrain himself, right?
To his surprise, Yue Youxi was only momentarily surprised when he heard Mu Qiuniang addressed as "honored lady," and seemed unfazed about her marital status. The admiration in his eyes not only didn’t diminish but intensified.
