The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 174 is unnecessary.
"Sometimes I regret it."

Lu Nanting was holding a small bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, stirring the sauce, when he suddenly said this.

Gu Lanxi scooped the baby octopus into a plate, and upon hearing this, she turned her head in surprise, staring at him with a cool tone:

"What do you regret?"

Lu Nanting was amused by her reaction: "Don't overreact to those two words!"

Gu Lanxi just looked at him without saying a word.

Knowing full well that she doesn't like hearing that word, I still insisted on saying it, and then I smiled broadly afterward. Why is she reacting so strongly?
Seeing the dangerous look in her eyes, Lu Nanting dared not be reckless and quickly replied:
"I just occasionally regret entering this industry."

"Why do you think so?"

Lu Nanting has loved music since he was a child. When he first debuted, his family strongly opposed it, but he persevered and never regretted it then. So why would he regret it now?
If he came from a poor family and had too many unavoidable circumstances, that would be one thing. He clearly had so many paths to take, but he chose this one because of his passion. What is there to regret?

Gu Lanxi didn't quite understand.

"The attention I receive is too much; even the smallest mistake is magnified infinitely. I'm not free."

Gu Lanxi assumed he was just confiding in her about his work troubles, so she carefully prepared her words and gently comforted him:

"You have to give up something to gain something. No matter what you do, there will be troubles. You have to think positively about everything. At least you're doing a job you love. If you go to work for a company and encounter terrible subordinates who never do the things you're assigned, and you fire them and have to hire someone new, who knows when you'll be able to find someone? And even if you do find someone, they might not be good, and they'll always be talking behind your back, saying you don't know anything and just give orders..."

Lu Nanting suppressed a laugh, turned around and took out the sauce. When he came back, he saw that the water for cooking noodles had boiled and Gu Lanxi was looking for noodles everywhere. He quickly opened the cabinet, grabbed a handful and threw them into the pot.

Worried that the noodles would stick to the pot, Gu Lanxi picked up her chopsticks and stirred them a few times.

As she was stirring, Lu Nanting leaned over, pulled her into his arms, and sighed softly:
"If it's just me, like you said, you have to give up something to gain something, so there's nothing to complain about."

Over the years, he has indeed never complained.

"Uh, and then what?"

"But you're different. You could have lived the way you wanted, but it's all because of me..."

He had always had this thought, but it was hidden in his heart, vague and indistinct, until today, when Gu Lanxi asked him to learn to put himself in others' shoes, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Knowing his own situation, he forcibly pulled Gu Lanxi into his life without asking her if she was willing.

Isn't this just another form of being self-centered and disregarding the feelings of others?
Gu Lanxi then understood what he was struggling with.

She smiled gently, turned down the heat, and whispered to him, "I'm willing to pay the price for my choices too!"

After all, it's not like he just became famous today.

The moment Gu Lanxi made up her mind to become his real husband, she already knew what the future held.

She is never afraid of difficulties.

When problems arise, just try your best to solve them.

One should not be greedy and want everything.

Gu Lanxi's sweet words are always exceptionally sincere and touch people's hearts.

Lu Nanting was overjoyed. He bent down and kissed the tip of her ear before whispering:

"We're definitely trending right now."

Since they went public with their relationship, there has been no shortage of attacks against Gu Lanxi, many of which come from his die-hard fans.

With her intelligence, even a fool could figure this out.

But she kept her phone in her bag the whole time and didn't take it out once during the trip.

Are you scared?
Gu Lanxi was speechless:
"Only you care about this kind of thing. I just don't want to waste my time on it. It's not because I'm afraid that I don't dare to look."

She's always been a very straightforward person. Before making a decision, she might weigh the pros and cons repeatedly. Once she makes up her mind, she's fearless and quite decisive in her actions.

There may be many concerns before going public, but now that things have come to this, thinking about it too much is a waste of energy.

She is not stupid.

Fearing that Lu Nanting might overthink things, Gu Lanxi patted his hand, signaling him to let go: "Take two bowls." Lu Nanting obediently took the bowls, and Gu Lanxi quickly scooped out the noodles, took the sauce he handed her, added a spoonful to each bowl, mixed it well, and then handed it to him.

A simple late-night snack was prepared and served on the table, where the two sat facing each other as usual.

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Gu Lanxi rested her chin on her hand and smiled at him.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to be together, and every single moment I want to spend with you is precious. Even just watching you quietly makes me happy. Why should I care what those irrelevant people say? Lu Nanting, you're not devoted to me."

Lu Nanting felt a surge of warmth in his heart from her words, but he didn't forget to immediately retort, "What? You're wronging me."

My husband is young and not very responsive to teasing.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

"Just thinking that even top celebrities have to suffer in love makes me happy."

Lu Nanting snorted and continued eating in silence, ignoring her.

He now knew exactly how much Gu Lanxi loved him.

I certainly wouldn't try to outdo her in this regard.

He fell silent, which only fueled Gu Lanxi's interest in talking:
“I understood a principle from a very young age: life is only about 30,000 days long, and every day is precious. Learning can help me improve, and it is worth spending a lot of time on it; working can help me achieve financial freedom, and I am also willing to spend a lot of time on it; doing what I like and spending time with the people I like can help me understand the meaning of life, so I will spend all the rest of my time on these things.”

She has always lived with clarity and strength.

Those mere haters don't even count in her eyes!
Seeing Lu Nanting put down his chopsticks and a smile slowly bloom on his face, knowing that he understood what she wanted to say, Gu Lanxi stirred the noodles in her bowl as she spoke to him:

"Others' opinions of me are always mixed, and netizens hardly know me, so their opinions of me are even more mixed. I don't need to draw strength from praise, nor do I like to make things difficult for myself by reading negative comments and making myself upset. So, why should I care about trending topics?"

The studio has more than a dozen employees, and their monthly salaries are not small.

Isn't the purpose of having a dedicated team to deal with these kinds of things?

When it really comes down to crisis communication, she doesn't think she can do it better than Anita Mui.

"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. I believe Sister Mei can handle these things well."

The small bowl of noodles only had a few bites, which Gu Lanxi finished in two bites. She took a tissue to wipe her mouth before whispering:
"Being low-key has its advantages, and attracting attention has its wonders. It's just a different way of life. Don't worry about me because of this."

Lu Nanting lowered his head, his voice low: "It's normal for me to think these things. After all, you were forced to marry me by me. I don't know how you feel about this..."

Gu Lanxi picked up a small, boiled octopus, dipped it in the sauce, and before she could even put it in her mouth, she heard him say this and couldn't help but raise her chin slightly, looking arrogant:
"If I don't want to, no one can force me."

Lu Nanting couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing!
"What's wrong?"

"Hmm, it's quite late. Eat quickly, and then go to bed early."

"I see now, you just like to flatter me with sweet words."

"Where is it?"

Seeing his smug expression and his stubborn denial, Gu Lanxi quickly kicked off her slippers and placed her foot directly on the instep of his foot:
How do you feel about what I said on stage today without discussing it with you beforehand?

"I'm a little embarrassed, but it's alright!"

The high-definition video has already gone viral online, with comments saying he looks like he's grinning from ear to ear. In just half an evening, it had already received over 200,000 likes. It's just that Gu Lanxi wasn't online and didn't dare to stare at him on stage, and was worried that he would feel awkward.

“Those things are not my private matters. I didn’t think too much about them at the time and just said them directly. Now that I think about it, it was a bit inappropriate. I will definitely be more careful with my words in the future.”

"It's not necessary..."

"Ok?"

"What I mean is, there's no need to feel too guilty. No matter what you say to the outside world, I will stand with you."

After saying this, seeing Gu Lanxi's moved expression, Lu Nanting silently gave himself a thumbs up.

That's a really clever way to put it!
Big Spoon: Honey, speak up! If you can talk, then talk more!
