Chapter 669 What Exactly Do You Not Know?
When Leanna woke up, the sun wasn't as hot and dazzling as earlier.
More residents of the small town were out on the streets.
For unknown reasons, Leanna felt excited and quickly got up. After applying light makeup and lipstick, she turned around and looked at Aidan, who was leaning against the door and staring at her. "I'm done," she said. "Let's go."
Aidan looked at her, his gaze filled with joy. "You're beautiful."
Leanna had grown accustomed to, and even slightly defensive of, his sweet nothings. Thus, she tidied her hair and replied, "I know. Thank you."
That made Aidan smile. "Let's go."
The sky was beautiful outside and it wasn't too hot. As they walked, the residents of the town greeted them warmly.
Leanna responded to them with a smile.
It was a small town and before long, both of them had almost finished exploring it.
Not far from the town was Lake Taevaia. It was tranquil and serene, far away from the noise and bustle of the busy area. The water was so clear that it reflected all of the neighboring Alps.
A few groups of locals and tourists were fishing by the emerald-green lake.
The entire view was breathtaking, just like a painting.
Seeing this, Leanna couldn't help but take her phone out to capture some photos. Then, she turned around and looked at Aidan.
The man immediately understood what she meant. He took her phone, raised his chin slightly at her, and said, "Stand over there. I'll snap some photos for you."
Leanna quickly ran to the side of the lake and posed for the camera.
After a few snaps, she felt something amiss.
Can I even trust Aidan's photography skills?
She quickly approached him and took the phone back. Then, she activated the grid feature in the camera settings and said, "If you're taking half-body shots, the figure has to be in the four grids."
Then, she pointed to the screen and said, "These four, or these four. Both are good."
Aidan, however, gave her a strange look. He twitched his lips slightly, seemingly wanting to say something.
After a while, he finally said, "Do you want half-body shots or full-body shots?"
Leanna felt that Aidan completely did not understand what she meant.
Forget it.
"I'm fine with either," she said pleasantly.
Aidan then grabbed the phone from her. "Go over there."
With that, Leanna returned to her spot by the lake, reasoning that it wouldn't be a bad idea for Aidan to take more shots, as there would definitely be some that she would be happy with.
After taking photos for a while, a tourist walked by.
Aidan quickly stopped him and asked if he could assist in taking some photos of them.
"Of course," the bearded tourist smilingly replied.
Aidan gave the tourist the phone and walked to Leanna.
Just as Leanna was about to say something, Aidan wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered, "Look at the camera, honey."
Zoe loved bringing Leanna around to take photos during their university days. Hence, Leanna knew how to pose well.
She was very familiar with being alone in photos. However, it was her first time being snapped with another person, and she couldn't help but stiffen.
Aidan seemed to realize what she was thinking too. "Be yourself. We're not taking wedding shoots anyway. You don't have to be so nervous," he whispered to her.
Leanna was at a loss for words and couldn't help but raise her hand, which she had originally placed behind her, and pinched Aidan's waist.
Aidan hummed softly in agony. Hearing that, Leanna smiled even happier.
Such a smile made all the awkwardness vanish.
Leanna raised her head, caught Aidan's gaze, and proudly raised her chin.
He, too, smiled at her, his dark eyes overflowing with tenderness.
As they were doing so, the tourist took dozens of shots of them.
Aidan then walked over to the tourist and took the phone from him, saying, "Thank you."
The tourist shrugged his shoulders in response and complimented, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful. Is she a star?"
Hearing that, Aidan turned around and cast a glance at Leanna. "She's my wife, a jewelry designer," he answered softly.
"Oh. That's great."
Leanna heard their conversation as well. She smiled at the tourist and thanked him.
The tourist waved his hand at them in response and left.
Leanna then checked the photos that had been taken earlier. The tourist was carrying a camera with professional lenses, indicating that he was a skilled photographer. As such, all of the images he shot were stunning.
But what astonished Leanna was that the images Aidan took were also good, which was unexpected of him.
He even snapped different photos in both portrait and landscape modes.
She absolutely loved every photo he took.
"The photos you took are nice," she praised.
With his hand in his pocket, Aidan walked forward and replied casually, "I've learned photography for some time."
Leanna had no comeback to that.
It was no wonder that he gave me such a strange look just now. He must have felt insulted.
She trotted to his side and said, "You're good at guitar, photography, golf, and even rock climbing… What exactly do you not know?"
"I'll take this as your expression of admiration for me."
"It isn't," Leanna muttered. "I'm just curious. Golf and rock climbing are activities that are frequently seen in business negotiations or social circles, so it's normal for you to be good at them. Playing guitar or taking photos, on the other hand, are something else entirely. They are things that rich young guys with nothing to do would learn. Why would you have the time to learn them?"
"A capable man knows everything."
Leanna was rendered speechless yet again.
"My father instructed me to learn some of them. As for the rest, I simply picked them up as a means of relaxation," Aidan explained.
Leanna couldn't help but scoff deep down when she heard that. Though she didn't want to admit it, Aidan was indeed smart and capable.
This was why many people disliked him, yet they could never defeat him.
After they walked for a while, they saw the reflection of the sunset appear on the surface of the lake.
"Shall we go back now?" Leanna asked.
Aidan, on the other hand, looked at a church not far away and said, "There's a church over there. Let's check it out."
Leanna also looked in the direction he was gazing at and indeed saw the silhouette of a beautiful church.
"Let's go," she agreed.
The sun had just set, and there was still time until the sky went completely dark.
They then walked alongside the lake, heading directly toward the church.
Just as they were about to reach the church, Leanna noticed that the road she was walking on had turned into a carpet made from flower petals.
The surrounding appeared to be intentionally decorated, and with the sunset, it looked really beautiful.
"Let's not go over," Leanna suggested. "I think somebody is getting married here."
However, Aidan turned around and looked at her. "Have you ever seen a church wedding being held at night?" he asked.
"But this…"
As soon as she opened her mouth, someone took her hand and led her forward.
