The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 135 Awkwardness

Lu Nanting was never one to swallow his anger.

Compared to Gu Lanxi's forbearance and tolerance, he has always been flamboyant, high-profile, and sharp. When he's unhappy, he doesn't give face to anyone.

According to Gu Lanxi, many media outlets deliberately provoke him in order to generate buzz, asking pointed questions during interviews to create explosive trending topics.

This was especially common in the first two years after his debut.

Because the Lu family generally doesn't get involved in these kinds of things.

"I still remember last November when you went on a rampage against more than a dozen media outlets in one day. You held back all day today and didn't lose your composure, which was really great. Your words when you accepted the award were also very well said!"

Gu Lanxi has always been a person who is generous with praise.

After leaving the venue, the two got into the car, and she smiled and gave Lu Nanting a thumbs up.

Because of his personality, Lu Nanting has suffered quite a few losses, both openly and secretly.

The family doesn't interfere in these matters, hoping he'll learn from his mistakes, but over the years he's never compromised himself and has always done what he was supposed to do.

It was one thing to have no stance before, but now that his status has changed so drastically and he's become one of their own, Gu Lanxi can't help but subtly guide him in their daily lives.

Lu Nanting glanced at her, fully aware of her intentions, but felt no offense.

Because he knew that Gu Lanxi was doing it for his own good.

He couldn't help but chuckle, blowing a stray strand of hair from his forehead, and whispered in her ear:

"You are my weakness, but also my armor. As I grow from a boy into a man, I must learn to take responsibility. I am no longer alone, so I must learn to temper my sharpness."

Lu Nanting's sweet words always come out of nowhere.

Gu Lanxi felt her face flush and didn't know how to respond, so she turned to look out the window.

The entrances and exits for artists and audience members were separate. The convoy circled around halfway and you could still see Sister Dragonfly holding an orange-red support sign waiting for the car on the roadside.

Upon seeing Lu Nanting's car pass by, he immediately became excited, clinging to the railing and shouting wildly.

Lu Nanting rolled down the car window and waved to everyone. Even from a distance, you could hear shouts of "Lu Nanting!! I love you!!"

Gu Lanxi felt a little sour.

Because these are all girlfriend fans and wife fans.

Besides the few loud voices, Gu Lanxi, with her sharp ears, also heard someone shouting, "Husband, ahhh!!!"

Gu Lanxi remained silent for a long time after the car started moving.

Lu Nanting silently reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers. He leaned back, relaxing completely, then glanced at her discreetly and sighed deeply.

"Phew, the day's work is finally over."

Okay, what he meant was that waving to people just now was part of his business.

Gu Lanxi understood the reasoning, but... she still felt uncomfortable because a group of pretty girls kept calling Lu Nanting "husband".

He's clearly her husband...

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, that's what I've been doing in this line of work.

Doesn't she also have a lot of male fans and husband fans who call her "wife" all the time?
They're evenly matched.

Love often comes with possessiveness, and it's difficult to find a strong sense of security in a relationship.

Especially marrying a flamboyant idol singer like Lu Nanting.

She needs to learn to regulate her emotions.

The rational Gu Lanxi entered a state of self-digestion, while the emotional Gu Lanxi kept whining and complaining.

Seeing that she still ignored him, Lu Nanting's mood also became depressed.

Even if a transformation is needed, it won't happen overnight.

Gu Lanxi knew exactly what was going on, but she still gave him the cold shoulder, which made Lu Nanting feel even worse.

"So you know about my outburst and yelling at someone last November? Do you know why?"

Seeing that he changed the subject and didn't dwell on her petty squabbles, Gu Lanxi was willing to engage in conversation:

People online are saying that Xiao Han stole your top luxury brand endorsement.

Lu Nanting scoffed: "Speechless. Unscrupulous self-media only know how to talk nonsense. If it were really me who made the decision, would he? It's just hype, trying to make himself look good."

"Why is that?" The two lived in the western suburbs, and it took them half an hour to get home from the stadium by taking the elevated road.

Gu Lanxi was both hungry and sleepy, but so much had happened tonight and she was in a state of high excitement, so she was willing to chat.

"We learned that you are about to sign a contract for 'The Hot Summer,' and the script even includes a kissing scene."

Gu Lanxi never imagined that it would be her fault, and she was surprised!

"Where's the kissing scene? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Ah!"

How could he possibly tell us that he used his connections to change the script?
I'd probably get beaten to death if I said it.

However, Gu Lanxi was such a shrewd person! She could sense his guilt even over the phone, and when they were face to face, she immediately knew something was amiss!
"What did you do?"

They hadn't gotten back together yet, so if Lu Nanting were to use underhanded tactics to affect her work, she would definitely be angry!
Lu Nanting turned to look out the window, refusing to say a word.

"You deleted the kissing scene?"

She has a photographic memory; she only accepted roles after reading the initial script, and she knows exactly what changes the script underwent!
If she hadn't refused to film kissing scenes, and hadn't suggested changing this upon joining the production, she probably would have reacted immediately upon discovering the problem!

Lu Nanting felt guilty and remained silent.

Gu Lanxi chuckled softly and said, "Heh, you've got quite a long reach."

She rarely speaks in a harsh tone; this is already a sign that she is very angry.

Lu Nanting felt wronged and turned to stare at her: "Do you want to film a kissing scene with someone? I've ruined your plans?"

This time, Gu Lanxi turned her head, looked out the window, and remained silent.

"How dare you say that! I dance solo on duo stages, I never sing with girls, I'm so chaste! And then you go and make romance movies! You knew there were kissing scenes and you still accepted the role!!"

Gu Lanxi dislikes arguing, and since she felt he was being unreasonable but couldn't jump out of the car, she opened the window.

The night wind blew in, making Gu Lanxi's ears ring and Lu Nanting's head buzz.

A gust of wind made Lu Nanting realize there were other people in the car, so he took several deep breaths before closing his mouth.

The two didn't speak again until they got home.

The driver and bodyguard kept their eyes down, not daring to utter a sound.

When the two arrived home, they went upstairs, entered the house, and Gu Lanxi went straight into the bedroom, locked the door, and took a shower.

She was so angry that her hands were trembling, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist beating the person up. She needed to calm down.

When she came out after taking a cold shower, feeling chilly, she saw Lu Nanting with a cold face, wearing a floral apron, carrying a bowl of egg noodles out of the kitchen. He glanced at her, gently placed it on the table, and then turned and went into the kitchen.

A short while later, he took off his apron and brought out another bowl.

She had to wear a form-fitting dress to walk the red carpet, and even if she ate just one extra cookie, her belly would show, indicating that she had genuinely been starving all day.

As soon as I sat down at the dining table, that inexplicable aura suddenly dissipated.

Putting yourself in Lu Nanting's shoes, you could certainly tell he was angry.

He was a man of impeccable morals, waiting until he reached a certain age to reconcile with her, but she accepted this role instead.

"I didn't know your plans at the time. I was already prepared to live alone. Considering my future development, I would naturally take on romance films with a large fan base. However, I had no intention of filming kissing scenes. Even if you didn't use any tricks, I would still suggest deleting them."

Seeing that she took the initiative to explain, Lu Nanting was even more heartbroken.

He leaned on the table, sitting sideways to her, and as he spoke, he choked up.

"Your future doesn't leave room for me."

Gu Lanxi propped her cheek up, tilted her head to look at him, and seeing that he was about to burst into tears, she couldn't help but laugh:
"Ah, yes, I didn't dare to consider you before, but you have earned my steadfastness with your courage. From now until the future, every day, I am yours, and you are mine."

Gu Lanxi picked up her chopsticks, tapped them lightly on the table to align them, and then looked up at him earnestly:
“We will be a community with a shared future, sharing life and honor. I am even willing to share my wealth with you and to annul the prenuptial agreement.”

Lu Nanting knew better than anyone how much she loved money.

Who would have thought that one day he would become more important to her than money!
Gu Lanxi doesn't say sweet words often, but when she does, they're incredibly poignant.

Seeing that he was about to pounce on her, Gu Lanxi immediately picked up her bowl and turned around: "I'm hungry, I want to eat noodles, I don't want to eat a mouthful of rice noodles."

"This is stage makeup, okay?!"

Lu Nanting went berserk!
He's not some effeminate man!
Gu Lanxi just looked at him and smiled.

Every relationship crisis leads to arguments, but they rarely let their arguments last overnight.
