The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 155 Touching
The seafood cooked quickly. The two children went upstairs to change their clothes and came down, bringing out large platters to the table.

Gu Lanxi wanted to talk to her mother-in-law about starting a company with her uncle, but she didn't have time to bring it up.

Once everyone was present and all the dishes were served, he sat down next to Lu Nanting.

The aunt brought over a bunch of tools, and Lu Nanting took a small pair of scissors and started cutting the mantis shrimp.

After cutting it, without peeling it, they arranged it on a plate and pushed it to the side of Gu Lanxi.

Gu Lanxi took it, put it on her plate, held it down with one hand, and used a chopstick in the other to poke it from the tail. With a gentle tear, she was able to pull the shrimp shell off completely.

The peeled shrimp meat was piled on a plate, half for Lu Nanting and half for himself.

Their professions are special, so they rarely eat garlic. Gu Lanxi can't eat anything too spicy and can't handle wasabi, so her sister-in-law thoughtfully prepared a scallion, ginger, and soy sauce sauce for them, basically treating them the same way as Lu Jianing.

The two worked together seamlessly, eating their meal quietly, which was not unusual at the dinner table.

Despite being respected wherever he goes, Mr. Lu still has to peel shrimp for his wife when he gets home.

Even the last two large shrimp shells were peeled for her because Mrs. Lu liked to get her nails done.

Anyway, she won't feel uncomfortable eating at this house, so she doesn't need to find something to do to make herself look busy.

"Jia Ning, don't be impatient."

Lu Weichen is already grown up and doesn't need anyone to worry about his meals, but Lu Jianing is still young, and her second brother and his wife have to give her a few words of advice from time to time.

Lu Jianing held a small pair of scissors, her left hand gloved, holding a mantis shrimp, and her right hand holding a smaller pair of small gold scissors. She was carefully cutting, and while cutting, she responded to her parents with "uh-huh" sounds.

After the meal, the aunt came up to clean up, and the two children went to the yard to spin their tops again, while the adults moved to the tea room to drink tea and chat.

Gu Lanxi wasn't one to show off, but her father, Mr. Lu, really enjoyed talking to her about economic trends and industry development.

When he asked, she told him about her partnership with her uncle.

Mr. Lu nodded in agreement with her optimism about the bulk agricultural product trading market next year, and also shared some of his own experiences.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law weren't interested in any of this, and Zhang Ruolan called them away with just a glance.

Tomorrow is Gu Lanxi's birthday. Knowing that many members of the Gu family will be attending, they don't want to embarrass the Lu family, but they also can't be too high-profile and steal the spotlight. So, the three of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, need to carefully consider what to wear.

Gu Lanxi's advantage lies in her sharp mind and novel ideas, while Lu's father and his colleagues have the advantage in their rich experience and shrewdness.

After a pleasant conversation, both parties gained something from it.

Lu Nanting didn't like these things, didn't want to spoil the mood, and wanted to be alone with his wife, so he wandered around the house.

He would stand next to his father for a while, then turn to his two older brothers and keep refilling their tea.

The three of them went to the toilet twice before finally realizing that he was up to no good.

Thinking of how the young couple had been separated for so long and were finally able to be together again, he felt that every moment of their lovemaking was precious. He was both annoyed and amused, and told him to leave quickly.

Lu Nanting felt as if he had been granted a pardon and took Gu Lanxi home without hesitation.

Once the car was on the main road and there was no one around, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but punch his arm: "I have a small face, so you'd better be careful not to embarrass yourself!"

"You finally got a vacation, and you didn't even talk to me that much!"

The words were sarcastic, making people both angry and amused!

"Bro, seriously, you're beyond words! Stop chatting and focus on driving!"

After saying that, he took out an eye mask, put it on, and went to sleep.

The old house is more than a 30-minute drive from home, so it's a good time to take a short rest.

I slept on the high-speed train last night. Although the space was quite large, the wheels were rumbling all night, so I didn't sleep very well.

So many things to do today, I'm really tired right now.

When she got home, feeling guilty about all the food she'd eaten that evening, Gu Lanxi was about to head to the gym when Lu Nanting pulled her to the garden. Seeing that he'd actually brought back her nephew's spinning top, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh: "Is it that fun?"

Without saying a word, Lu Nanting whipped the top until it spun around, then handed her the whip.

"You'll know if it's fun or not once you try it!"

A while ago, I hired a construction team to build a small rectangular stage on the large lawn by the lake, next to the wall.

The stage wasn't very high, but there were three steps on each side.

The red bricks were piled up, cement was applied, and dark gray matte terrazzo tiles were laid on top.

Unexpectedly, before a single family concert was held after the building was completed, people started spinning tops here.

Gu Lanxi had never played this before. When he handed her the whip, her first reaction was to look around.

Lu Nanting had no choice but to whip it a few more times to prevent the top from stopping before handing it the whip over again.
"There's no one around, play with me for a while~"

Gu Lanxi reluctantly accepted it.

Unlike Lu Jianing, she was skilled in martial arts and learned quickly, without needing Lu Nanting to teach her.

Before long, they were playing happily, and even came up with many new tricks.

As she played, she realized that Lu Nanting had specifically asked his nephew for a spinning top, probably for her.

He did the deed, but didn't forget to protect her self-esteem.

Such details are particularly touching.

Since getting married, not only do many people think Lu Nanting is being unreasonable, but many others think she's lost her mind.

That's because they don't understand the joy of being remembered in such moments.

After playing happily in the yard for half an hour, when one person got tired, they could simply reach out and have the whip taken by another person.

The top spun around on the ground, about to fall off the stage, but the two of them would immediately save it.

"When I was a kid, I played this so much that I didn't want to go home for dinner."

It wasn't until the two put away the spinning tops and went back inside that Lu Nanting told her about his childhood.

Gu Lanxi whispered to him, "When I was little, I had to cook for my grandparents. Back then, the stove wasn't even high enough for us, so we had to stand on a stool. If we burned the food at first, we would get a beating."

As they climbed the steps, Lu Nanting put his arm around her shoulder and whispered to her:

"When we have time, let's play all the things you didn't play when you were little. If you're shy, just say you want to play, and you'll have to play with me."

Gu Lanxi coughed lightly, stubbornly denying, "Actually, it wasn't that fun."

Lu Nanting just smiled and didn't say anything.

However, once inside the house, Gu Lanxi took a wet wipe, carefully cleaned the top, and placed it on the antique shelf in the famille rose and gold-painted plate depicting five blessings and longevity.

Lu Nanting poured two glasses of water. After she finished drinking them, he squatted down to carry her upstairs: "Come on, are you tired?"

Gu Lanxi smiled and helped him up, saying, "My arms are tired, not my legs."

Seeing that it was getting late and that they were going to entertain guests at home the next day, Gu Lanxi took his hand and went to press the elevator button.

Once inside the bedroom, he finally spoke: "Let's choose an airplane!"

Lu Nanting was completely bewildered: "What airplane?"

Gu Lanxi then realized that her mother-in-law had only told her this, and hadn't even told her son. She leaned on Lu Nanting's shoulder and kept laughing.
