You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 595 John's Anxiety

They did not want to wait until later in the afternoon, so John took Nina to Sam's house on Stone Road to get his household register.

The moment the two household registers were in his hands, he felt his soul warming up.

Afraid that Nina's household register was fake, John quickly checked hers to make sure. Only then was he able to heave a sigh of relief. "The household register is real,"

Nina said with a smile. "My dad stole it for me! There's no way of it being a fake."

"I owe it to my father-in-law. He's a good man!" John said with gratitude.

Nina's father was obviously a good man who loved her with all his heart.

However, her father managed to get the household register quite easily. Nina had not thought about it back then, and she now felt that it was a bit odd.

'Was it really that easy?' she thought to herself.

"I think my mom let him steal it. She was just pretending to not know about it." If that had not been the case, there was no way that her mother still had not found out.

Her mother was a very smart woman, so Nina was certain that she would have found out about it the very next day.

John was moved by her words. "I think that my mother-in-law is just as good a person as my father-in-law. We must not disappoint them, right? So, why don't we go to the studio and take some photos. Then, we can get our marriage licenses."

Looking up at the antique clock on the wall, Nina asked, "You want to go now? It's not even 1 p.m. yet. The photographers must be on their lunch break."

"They're young. I am sure that they want to make good money more than eating or sleeping." Saying that, John lifted Nina up and walked out. Nina wanted to protest, but did not.

She was speechless when she saw him so determined to get married.

She had never seen John being so anxious. Even when they would have sex, he was always so patient.

John was tall, so he walked quite fast, which made Nina, who he was carrying on his shoulders, feel uncomfortable.

"Put me down, John. Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that being hasty only causes more trouble?"

However, John did not stop until he reached his car, opened the door and put Nina on the passenger seat. He fastened the seat belt for her before he sat down in the driver's seat.

"We will only end up failing if we're too slow." After fastening his seat belt, he turned around and kissed her. "Good girl, now stay put."

He looked even more handsome at this moment,

even though he was really anxious.

Although he was really focused on driving, he would lift up an eyebrow and glance at Nina, secretly laughing inwardly.

Nina touched her forehead and smiled in silence throughout the rest of their journey.

John stopped the car right outside of Caroline Yu's studio. He then got out and carried Nina in his arms as he walked in.

Caroline Yu was in her late twenties, but she was already an established international fashion photographer, who had just finished shooting for a famous celebrity that October. She was just about to take rest that afternoon when she received a call from John's assistant informing her that John would be coming to her studio to click photos for the marriage licenses.

The moment Caroline heard that they wanted the photos to be taken that afternoon itself, she thought of turning down the job.

However, one million dollars were transferred to her bank account within just a second, making her thoughts of refusal go away.

"Caroline, aren't your hands sore? Why do you still have the camera in your hands? Why don't you go and get some rest? I will clean up the studio for you," her assistant insisted.

Putting the camera away, Caroline sat down on the couch, massaging her wrists. "You can clean up later. A client is coming now."

"What? Why didn't they make an appointment with me first?" her assistant asked. He was a kind-hearted young man, who saw how tired Caroline was, and poured her a glass of cold water.

Caroline took it from his hands and gulped it down. "There is a reason for that. By the way, when is my junior coming to work? My master said that he would not be accepting any more fresh graduates, but then, he ended up accepting Michelle straight into the second year."

Caroline smiled and showed her assistant the empty glass. He quickly refilled it with more cold water.

"She'll be here tomorrow. I've already set up her office. It would be right next to yours."

"Since Michelle will be here from tomorrow, I would not have to do as much work." Saying that, Caroline stretched her neck muscles.

"How free do you think you will be, Caroline? All of our clients want you. You can't just ask someone else to do your job, right?" her assistant reminded her.

Caroline pursed her lips and said, "You are right. But Michelle has already worked with many international movie stars. I am sure that she will fit right in pretty quickly."

"Is the client who doesn't have an appointment Mr. Shi from the Time Group?" her assistant asked in a shaky voice.

"Did you eavesdrop on my phone conversation?" Caroline questioned.

"No. I did not. I just said that because he is here, now."

"Is Mr. Shi here already?" Caroline stood up, turned around, and saw John walking in, carrying a woman in his arms.

'Wow! They are so in love with each other,' Caroline thought to herself.

John had always appeared like a cold, indifferent man to the public, so they were surprised to see him holding a woman in his arms. Seeing them, the assistant gave a smile before he slipped away from there. Caroline could not help but curse him for leaving her alone with such an important client. She quickly straightened her clothes so that she looked presentable and greeted John with a smile, "Please, have a seat, Mr. Shi."

John put Nina down and replied, "Why don't we start the shoot right away?"

"Okay." Caroline had never seen a man who was in such a hurry before. She had heard that Nina was a much calmer person, so she offered her a handshake. "Hello, ma'am."

"Hello! We need a good photo for our marriage licenses," Nina said as she shook Caroline's hand.

"Mr. Shi's assistant informed me. But a photo is not enough. I'll take more for you." Caroline felt bad for just taking one photo for a huge sum of one million dollars. Moreover, it was not even an artistic photo, just a photo for marriage licenses.

"You can choose the one you like the most and keep the rest," Caroline said with a smile. Although she was not all that pretty, she had a good physique and was quite tall.

Beauty was something that came from within, and not just someone's looks.

John and Nina looked so attractive that they did not even need any makeup. Caroline thought that they would not even need any editing or retouching after the photos were taken. They naturally looked perfect, and retouching the photos might even ruin them.

Nina and John were dressed in white shirts, leaving the first button unfastened, which made them look more casual.

As they sat down together, Caroline fell in love with how good they looked on the camera. It was almost as if she was looking at love through a beautiful oil painting.

'No one would believe that Mr. Shi is thirty-four years old. He looks so handsome and has an amazing body.

He looks like he is just over twenty years old. But he is so calm and composed.

Wait! Why are his hands trembling even though he seems so relaxed?'

Thinking that, Caroline put down her camera and asked with a smile, "Mr. Shi, are you nervous? Why don't you try smiling for the camera?"

Did he really seem nervous?

He did not notice it at first, but now, he could feel his heart racing.

He had been in various important events, and yet, he had never been that nervous before.

Being with the love of his life and taking photos with her made him really anxious that his hands had started shaking.

John licked his lips and smiled, to relieve his stress. Then, he felt a warm hand on the back of his head and immediately calmed down.

Nina smiled as she held his neck, pulled him closer to her and kissed him.

Caroline was speechless when she saw that. 'Wow! Those two are so in love!'

Caroline wanted to give up, but the photographer in her quickly captured that beautiful scene.

"Don't be nervous," Nina whispered in his ear before she withdrew from his lips and hugged him.

Embarrassed, John said to her in a low voice, "I need to have a smoke so I can be more confident."

Nina let out a muffled laugh as she replied, "Go ahead."

John stood up and left quickly, but then he tripped over a wire and almost fell down.

Seeing that, Nina was speechless.

Caroline was shocked.

John gave them an embarrassed smile. He wished he could just hit himself in the head and faint.
