The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 108 Shopping Spree
Lu Nanting was filled with anxiety, while Gu Lanxi slept soundly.

Because she relies on her own capital to succeed in the entertainment industry, rather than the support of any sugar daddy, she is never afraid of public opinion affecting her and causing her to have no roles. Therefore, she rarely pays attention to entertainment gossip.

She doesn't even care if Lu Nanting trends on social media, or even if she herself trends on social media because of being attacked by haters.

Often, she may not even know until the hype dies down.

For example, she was completely unaware when her childhood was exposed last time.

Compared to that, she cared more about the atmosphere on set.

She always felt that everyone was hiding something from her; they were all acting mysteriously.

Often, a group of people would be whispering loudly in each other's ears, but as soon as she approached, they would immediately shut up in unison, and when they looked at her, their eyes would dart away and their smiles would become stiff.

Gu Lanxi has excellent observation skills and noticed it long ago, but she has been holding back and pretending not to know.

That morning, while brushing her teeth, she habitually opened WeChat to message her husband, and suddenly couldn't hold back anymore:
Bro, you know what? Everyone's looking at me like I'm the toughest guy in the world! Tell me, is it because the bed collapsed, or because I ran up the mountain to get you?

Lu Nanting has an interview scheduled for the afternoon. He rarely gets a half-day off in the morning, so he hasn't gotten up yet.

Upon receiving the message and seeing that it wasn't about questioning the trending topics, I rolled around on the bed a few times before chuckling and replying:

I reckon they all are. No one is better than you!

Afterwards, they even sent a meme made by a fan.

I am ashamed of my inferiority.
The eyebrows in the emoji have been artistically altered, making them look inexplicably lewd, with a "you know what I mean" vibe.

Being teased so early in the morning made Gu Lanxi blush. She pressed the button on her phone and put it directly into her pocket.

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Lu Nanting knew she was embarrassed again, so he immediately called her on video, wanting to see his wife's shy expression so early in the morning. However, the video kept freezing and turned into a PowerPoint presentation, so he had to hang up reluctantly and send a voice message instead.

"Is the person who took your measurements scheduled for this morning?"

"Yes, everything is arranged. Don't worry, it's all minor."

The two chatted about this for a while, taking turns talking, until they had breakfast, at which point she put her phone away.

Today, the body measurement designer will be coming up the mountain with his assistant, and the foot measurement specialist will also be coming. Gu Lanxi had already coordinated with the film crew yesterday and specially set aside the morning for them.

She had been asking for this and that, nagging Lu Nanting to buy her ready-made clothes, just to distract him and keep him from being in a bad mood the whole way.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Nanting was overjoyed and immediately contacted the designer to create a haute couture piece for her.

Knowing that there were still several red carpets to walk this year, she didn't want to spoil the fun, so she agreed.

She is no longer the person who used to lose sleep over acquiring a luxury brand necklace.

She prefers elegant and simple styles, so there's not much room for variation in terms of design; she can only work on the measurements.

As a newly minted tycoon in mainland China, who married into the Lu family, and is a stunning beauty who looks good even in a burlap sack, she is undoubtedly a highly desirable client in the eyes of major luxury brands.

So this time, not only did the assistant come, but the designer also came despite the difficulties, all to do a good job on this order and leave a good impression on her.

The two sisters-in-law and mother-in-law often did this, and the wealthy wives in the Gu family were also very enthusiastic about it. Gu Lanxi used to not do this, simply because she felt it was a waste and completely unnecessary.

In the past, she always had her clothes custom-made by old tailors. The styles were simple and elegant, neither outstanding nor wrong. As for what to wear on the red carpet, it was all arranged by the company. She had never ordered a dress that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Now that she and Lu Nanting are married, more and more people know about it. In the second half of the year, she will inevitably have to attend various red carpet events and banquets. If she dresses too simply, people may say that Lu Nanting is not treating her well.

It would be even worse if it caused her in-laws to be criticized. Having figured these things out, she felt a bit hopeful about today's data collection.

After finishing breakfast, before going up the mountain, Gu Lanxi, having nothing to do, took her suona and went up the back mountain, intending to find a quiet place to play it to her heart's content for a while.

Then along the way, I saw many strong young men wearing vests, or even just floral shorts, running wildly covered in sweat.

At first, she thought everyone was going crazy from being cooped up in the mountains and had spontaneously organized a fitness activity.

As she slowly climbed the mountain, she saw a group of people heading towards the neighboring hilltop along the west slope, while a tractor was chugging away.

Gu Lanxi suddenly understood something, and her face flushed red.

Forget about playing the suona right now, he ran down the mountain and grabbed his two assistants to ask them questions.

I kept quiet about it before, mainly because I was afraid of being laughed at. Now I find that everyone knows what they need to know, and they have even spontaneously formed a team-building activity to challenge her record.

Gu Lanxi couldn't care less about anything else at that moment!

Zhuang Xiaotong was more clever and often went to the film set with her, while Niu Lili was more honest and simple, and her main job was to take care of Aunt Wang's life.

Therefore, Zhuang Xiaotong knew the most, and was even in several gossip groups.

Gu Lanxi remained calm and asked to check her group messages.

Seeing that she never used her private matters to attract attention in the group chat, and didn't reply even when she was being tagged repeatedly, I simply gave her a soft "hmm" before handing the phone back to her.

Then, without saying a word, he went back to his room.

But Zhuang Xiaotong was still so frightened that her face turned pale, and she almost thought that she was going to lose her job!
"Miss Gu has always been low-key and hates people around her who can't keep their mouths shut. I'm sure you two know that."

Aunt Wang gave him a few words of advice and then went off to do her work. Zhuang and Niu exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Gu Lanxi is not a difficult person to please, but the premise is that you have to do things according to her requirements and not make decisions for her on your own.

Back in the bedroom, Gu Lanxi gently placed the suona on the table and then threw herself onto the bed.

It took me a long time to tell Lu Nanting about this.

You just packed up and left, leaving me all miserable!!

Lu Nanting apologized profusely, feeling genuinely guilty. He disregarded everything else and quickly got up. He then took his bodyguards and went to the high-end brand store he endorsed, asking them to bring out the latest limited-edition women's handbags for him to choose from.

After choosing the bag, I had it delivered to my accommodation. As I left the store, I saw a jewelry store across the street.

The new item in the shop window was a string of pearls, large, round, and shiny, their iridescent colors shimmering on the black velvet under the dim light.

With his mind preoccupied with what his wife would look like wearing it, Lu Nanting limped back into the jewelry store.

He doesn't care about the price of things he buys; he only chooses those that he thinks fit Gu Lanxi's aesthetic.

When Zhang Mingyuan received the news that Lu Nanting had gone on a shopping spree at the mall and ended up being mobbed and trending on social media, he was relieved that he hadn't completely given up!

You just showed off a net bag with the film crew's tag, and now you're going to the mall to buy handbags and jewelry?
Zhang Mingyuan, his hands trembling, flipped through the shopping list exposed by his fans. When he saw that it even included underwear, socks, and other such items, he immediately sat down and frantically pounded his chest!

Sin!
That bastard doesn't deserve a holiday!
Despite his inner turmoil, Zhang Mingyuan still had to run to get the person back. He ran like the wind, thankfully managing not to lose his shoes!

Lu: ⊙_⊙ Good heavens! You guys don't have wives? Oh no, you guys don't even buy things for your wives?!
