The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 161: Every Sentence Responds

"Tsk, did you go upstairs to sneak some spicy snacks?"

Gu Jiayi came out of the kitchen carrying a fruit platter and ran into Gu Lanxi, who had just come downstairs.

They were all experienced people, and seeing her shy and bashful demeanor, they couldn't help but tease her.

Gu Lanxi has naturally fair skin, so even a slight blush is very noticeable. Today at the family banquet, she was dressed neatly without makeup, so it's not surprising that people noticed something was off.

But she didn't expect that Sister Jiayi would be so blunt in revealing the truth.

In the past, if teased like this, she might have blushed and dodged away, probably not even bothering to reply. But today, she inexplicably felt bold, and her words were full of vulgarity:
"No, it's just that my husband is too handsome, I couldn't control myself, and I kissed him against the wall. Yeah, it was pretty intense."

Gu Jiayi was absolutely stunned!

Is this still the same cousin who would blush and cover her ears when listening to anything about sex?

Before she could come up with a response, she heard a soft laugh coming from the stairs.

Looking up, I saw Lu Nanting walking down from the corner, his face showing a mixture of wanting to laugh and trying to suppress it.

Gu Jiayi couldn't help but burst out laughing!

Looking at Gu Lanxi, her face was already as red as a monkey's bottom. Before they could say anything, she took off running.

Despite the sweltering heat, he ran straight into the yard.

Lu Nanting hurried down the stairs and quickly caught up with him.

This is probably the real-life version of "one act of bravery leading to lifelong social withdrawal".

Gu Lanxi ran into the pavilion, feeling her face burning up. Her eyes were fixed on the lake, and she felt inexplicably annoyed.

Just now, as if I had a brain fart, I suddenly blurted out that sentence, and Lu Nanting happened to hear it!

This is so embarrassing!

Just as Lu Nanting was starting to appease his wife, the internet exploded again because of Gu Lanxi's reply.

Because this honest kid actually replied to Lu Nanting's confession word by word!

And every single sentence is a direct statement!

I'm greedy; I want to spend every important moment of my life with you, @Gu Lanxi.

——【Okay, I promise you. @LuNanting】

[This is great, I can be this high-profile this year. @顾兰溪]

—【Thank you, I love you too. This is something the whole world can know too. @LuNanting】

Now, I ask for nothing more, because what I need is already by my side. @Gu Lanxi

—【Unlike you, because of you, I am filled with ambition for this world. @Lu Nanting】

This year, next year, and for countless years to come, I will be here. @顾兰溪

—From now on, wherever you are, that will be my home. @LuNanting

……

Unexpectedly, this couple even had separate stages for showing their affection.

The fans immediately rolled up their sleeves and started singing enthusiastically!
Soon, countless comments filled both of their various platforms:
They actually gave us time for halftime so we could have a proper lunch. I'm so touched!

I was really touched by Xi Bao today. I never expected that someone who seemed so cold and distrustful of relationships could have such a passionate side.

[I've always been curious about what a romance between an art student and a finance major would be like, and today I suddenly have an idea.] [One is incredibly romantic, the other is simple and warm—who understands the true meaning behind her words? Waaaaah~]

She said, "I promise you!" Who in the industry doesn't know that Gu Lanxi is a woman of her word? It's true, several actors who have worked with her have said the same thing. She never stands people up; she always keeps her promises.

That single word, "also," was so touching! It turns out love can be expressed in such a direct yet subtle way. She knew what he hadn't said; she understood his feelings!

[I'd previously seen the agent's revelation that the two blamed themselves for their breakup, not that they stopped loving each other, which I always doubted. But now, I suddenly understand why Xi Bao hesitated back then. ┭┮﹏┭┮ Because she met the best person at the best age, yet she had nothing. "Because of you, I am filled with ambition for this world." That line is so heartbreaking!]

I love this ambitious Gu Lanxi! We, your little Yuanbao, see how hard you work! You deserve the best of everything!!

So, Gu Lanxi only needed a few years to have the courage to return to Lu Nanting's side. How many years of effort would it take me to achieve what I want?

[Waaaaah, she hasn't had a home for a long time! When she was twelve, her biological father sold all their properties and abandoned her. She was left to live in the stairwell of her own building; that's when she lost her home!]

[Two years ago, paparazzi followed her for over a year, capturing her returning to Beijing in the early hours of the morning at least twenty times. Each time, they suspected she was having an affair, but it turned out she was just going home.]

She once thought that having her own house meant having a home, and that no matter where she was or how late it was, she would rush back. But now, she says, wherever Lu Nanting is, that's where her home is. Who understands just how heavy those words are?

[A relative who works at the housing administration bureau heard a rumor—and I mean a rumor!—that Gu Lanxi and Lu Nanting had just gotten their marriage certificate and, within days, spent a huge sum of money to buy a large house. The property deed is in both their names, but Gu Lanxi paid for it all herself.]

[My goodness! What an incredibly love-struck woman! No wonder she insisted on going out and selling her shares in Su Cha as quickly as possible while Lu Nanting was trending on social media. Was that the money she used to buy the house?]

[Sure enough, as long as I live long enough, I can connect any story. Mom, I can die without regrets today!]

[My daughter is definitely a quiet but capable person. I've decided that from now on, I'll need to pay more attention to her when we're having a sweet time, otherwise I might miss some of the juiciest stuff!]

[Also, during the previous "Roundtable" segment, when Qi Feng talked about giving his partner a house and a car, Ting Ge gave a very insightful smile. At that time, a forensic expert named Dragonfly concluded that he had definitely received one or two of those items! Now it all matches up, doesn't it? This guy with the big liar is really lucky!]

Although the house is jointly owned by the two of them, Ting-ge is not short of money, and the fact that Xi-bao is willing to build a love nest with him probably makes him happier, right?

[Wow, this guy is amazing! I never expected this quiet guy to be so shrewd!! Such a great girl, shouldn't it be my turn to date her by now? @LuNantingLuGou, I advise you to be sensible!]

[You've gone mad! You dragonfly brother, you're stealing your own idol's wife and even tagged him! You probably want to be kicked out of the fandom!]

[Waaah, I don't care anymore, from now on I'm just a little slipper! Since you're so good at negotiating, then keep negotiating properly!]

[This commotion today is huge! I suddenly had a thought and searched for news from September 8th last year. Look what I found! I knew he'd cause trouble! Didn't expect that, did you? Hahaha! A police report!]

[A stroke of good luck! Mr. Lu, a resident of Dongcheng District, accidentally lost a bag full of gold ingots in Xicheng District on September 8th. Ms. Gu, also from Xicheng District, found them and turned them in to the police station. Note that the gold ingots weighed a total of 1050 grams! That's 21 ingots, weighing 50 grams each, and they were found by Ms. Gu, who turned 21 that day. Wow!]

[What's even more impressive is that Mr. Lu personally presented Ms. Gu with a banner of appreciation! Hahahaha! I wonder how Xi Bao felt when she received it? I really want to know what was written on it! Are there any spies from the Xicheng District Police Station who can reveal some inside information?]

[Are you all laughing and joking, while I'm the only one feeling sad and wanting to cry? With her intelligence and Lu's character, doesn't she know what that bag of gold ingots is all about? She just wanted an excuse to see him on her birthday.]

Yes, they might even secretly hope that the other person will try to win them back.

[Based on last year's gold prices, this bag of gold ingots would be worth around 700,000 yuan. She doesn't want the gold; she just wants to see him. What kind of feelings are these?]

But he didn't say anything last year, keeping it all bottled up until this year.

So, Ms. Gu's inferiority complex stemmed from having nothing, while Mr. Lu's was because he was underage and couldn't get married? Good heavens! I'm shocked by this discovery! What kind of bizarre thought process is this? Are there really such naive men in this world? Do they really believe that only marriage can guarantee a stable relationship?

[Fun fact: Going back three generations, every male member of the Lu family has lived a long and faithful life with his wife, and there has never been a single illegitimate child in the Lu family.]

The Lu family's century-long reputation for integrity has instilled in its descendants such views on marriage and relationships. Meeting someone he wanted to spend his life with at such a young age, his pain must have been no less than Gu Lanxi's.

My brain is completely fried today. Could you high-IQ folks please help me dig out all the hidden sweet moments? I'm just waiting to be fed! Seriously, it's so overwhelming! I can't even watch romance dramas anymore; all I want to do is swoon over their sweet moments. I think I'm going crazy!

Has no one wondered why he would give away gold ingots?

[Oh my god! It's closed loop again! Do you guys remember when we officially decided on our fan name? Wasn't it last year? Last year at Weibo Night, Xi Bao mentioned in an interview that when she's in a bad mood, she buys gold ingots! So, is my brother-in-law hoping that she'll be in a good mood year after year?]

[Waaaaah, I want that kind of golden love too!!]
