The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 177 Low-End Game
"What fortune?"

Lu Nanting was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"What are you thinking? I saved up money by collecting red envelopes in the group chat. If I really wanted to keep a secret stash of money, why would I bother letting you manage it? I wouldn't get any benefits, and I'd end up with a bunch of accusations. What would I gain? I'm not stupid, okay?"

Lu Nanting has never lacked money since childhood and is known in the industry for his generosity.

It was just sending a red envelope; I didn't even think about how much money I should have in my pocket before I sent it.

All I knew was that my wife was upset and I needed to comfort her, so I sent her money up to the limit of my savings.

Then, without realizing it, I sent too much.

Lu Nanting is always like this; even the slightest misunderstanding will be clarified quickly, so that she will never overthink it.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you so nervous? I'm just curious, what will you do if you give me so much money and then run out of cash?"

"I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to go out and spend money, and there's nowhere to spend money anyway."

"If you take someone else's red envelope, don't you have to send one back?"

“They used to steal from me, now it’s my turn to take advantage of them.”

They're all a bunch of people who aren't short of money, and the group chat is always full of red envelopes. Apart from him, probably no one cares about this little bit of money right now.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since your buddies have gotten together. You don't have a penny on you, so you can't even afford to treat them to a drink."

"I've given up drinking."

"When did it happen?"

"After that time I got drunk in Xi'an."

"Oh, why?"

Hearing the smile in her voice, Lu Nanting knew he had coaxed her into submission, and he felt like teasing her in return.
"I don't know either! I'm so stubborn, I lose control when I drink too much."

"Now you know how awkward it is, right?"

"I'm mainly worried about embarrassing you. I'm not bragging, but even when I'm not drunk, I could rattle off those lines in front of the whole world. If you don't believe me, I..."

"Okay, I understand. But I prefer you to say these things quietly to me alone."

The phone was propped up against the headboard, and Gu Lanxi rested her chin on her hands, looking at him from her pillow.

Lu Nanting was in his study, surrounded by piles of orange-red photo albums, and he was smiling broadly.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll only tell you from now on."

"Ah."

"I have a trip next week, which happens to be in City C. After that, I won't have to make any public appearances for a few days. Please remember to make an appointment with that tattoo artist for me."

"Ah."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Nanting waited a while and then asked her:

"Honey, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

"It's getting cold, remember to wear more clothes in the morning and evening."

Lu Nanting suddenly stopped talking, stared at her for a long, long time, and then nodded slightly.

"You too."

"Eat well."

"You want one too."

"Make sure you get enough sleep."

I'll be waiting for you in my dreams.

"We want to stay healthy and live to be a hundred years old!"

"Didn't we used to say we'd live to be eighty together?"

"Yeah, I've become greedy now."

"In that case, you shouldn't smoke, drink alcohol, or drink coffee either, as too much caffeine will affect your sleep."

"I don't drink coffee."

Will drinking too much tea have any negative effects?

"No matter what it is, it has to be in moderation, right? It's not rigorous to talk about toxicity without considering dosage."

Seeing that she suddenly became serious, Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh.

Such couples are all like this; they can talk for ages about nothing but trivial things, grinning from ear to ear.

In the past, when technology was underdeveloped, it was popular to write love letters, and they would write thick stacks of them.

Later, text messages started coming in, 500 a month. We had to be careful with how many we sent, otherwise it definitely wouldn't be enough.

Later, QQ, WeChat, voice messages, video calls... came along.

No matter how the way of contact changes, the intense feelings between lovers remain the same.

Gu Lanxi was indeed not a high-profile person, and she did occasionally feel upset due to changes in her life. But for Lu Nanting, she felt it was all worth it.

She wasn't sure what the future held, but she had tried her best and had no regrets.

"Miss Gu, it's almost time to prepare for landing."

The crew knocked on the door, and Gu Lanxi quickly hung up the video call.

I took my personal belongings, went to a seat outside, fastened my seatbelt, and waited quietly.

After getting off the plane and changing cars, Gu Lanxi led her people straight to the film set.

When we arrived at the hotel, Aunt Wang had already prepared lunch.

After having a meal and taking a short rest, she didn't waste any time and immediately went to the film set to diligently film her scenes.

In this drama, Zhou Sinian, who plays the police officer who leads the case, is the male lead, while Yang Hongyi, the popular young actor who plays Luo Ming, can only be considered the third male lead in terms of screen time.

The second male lead is the cunning and ruthless leader of a criminal gang.

The filming has now moved from the mountains to the city, and Yang Hongyi's scenes are about to wrap up. He will be leaving the crew in a couple of days.

As soon as the scene ended, Yang Hongyi immediately came over and said, "Sister Xi, you're amazing!! If I had known you earlier, I might have even passed the CET-6!"

Gu Lanxi smiled politely, and while asking Zhuang Xiaotong for a water glass, she took a small step back to keep her distance before replying:

"Fortunately, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and we need to continue to work hard."

Her smile was genuine, her answers frank, and although her words had a Versailles-like quality, they didn't come across as pretentious.

Yang Hongyi took half a step forward, looking at her with admiration: "You're so outstanding, yet you know to keep working hard. I'm such a lazy bum! I need to learn from you!"

"Thank you. Oh? Teacher Zhou, could we rehearse a scene together?"

After saying that, Gu Lanxi, holding a water glass in one hand and a script in the other, waved apologetically at him and ran away.

When she first joined the crew, Yang Hongyi wanted to create a CP (couple pairing) with her, but later he found out she was already married, so he gave up the idea.

Unexpectedly, after trending on social media so much lately, this guy has reverted to his old ways, always trying to get close to her.

Gu Lanxi specifically instructed her two assistants that whenever Yang Hongyi approached her, they should immediately stick close to him to prevent anyone from photographing them alone together.

Niu Lili and Zhuang Xiaotong kept a close watch on the situation every day, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But with today's advanced technology, it's best to stay away from him to be on the safe side.

Gu Lanxi immediately pulled Zhou Sinian to save her life.

Zhou Sinian is a good person and a good actor. He could tell what was going on at a glance. When he saw her coming over, he immediately waved and asked his assistant to bring him his script. He then seriously started acting with her.

His storyline and Gu Lanxi's storyline are two separate, one overt and one covert. They have a lot of overlap, but they don't have many scenes together that are actually face-to-face.

Anyone with eyes can see that she was just making up an excuse.

Yang Hongyi's expression was a little unpleasant, but he didn't say anything. He quickly returned to his seat, lowered his head, and quietly began to read the script.

In the following days, as Yang Hongyi was about to leave the crew, he became increasingly aggressive, forcing Gu Lanxi to stay with the other actors at all times.

She's the female lead, so it's rare to see her get close, and it's impossible for others to talk without mentioning her.

As a result, the paparazzi and paparazzi who were trying to catch her but failed quickly took many photos of her chatting and laughing with various male actors on set.

You should know that she has always been someone who doesn't like to interact with people.

When there's a filming opportunity, I'll be filming; when there isn't, I'd rather sit alone and drink tea, or I'll be working on my laptop.

This kind of proactive communication is rather unusual.

Gu Lanxi thought that Yang Hongyi would finish filming and leave in a couple of days. For the sake of the movie, she would tolerate him for two days in this low-level game.

Unexpectedly, unscrupulous marketing accounts put together photos of her being surrounded by male actors talking to her and photos of Lu Nanting coming home alone late at night with a cold face.

The copywriter even tattooed the words "stirring up trouble" all over their face!
When your partner is too popular, you can't smile! You simply can't smile!!

That evening, Lu Nanting became a trending topic online because of people laughing at him.

Gu Lanxi is currently on set, surrounded by several people from her studio.

She learned her lesson and now instructs her staff to talk to her whenever they see any signs of trouble.

Then she saw the photos immediately.

Damn it, this is so annoying!

She knew perfectly well that her husband was a jealous old man, but she still had to tease him!
Indeed, there's a reason why the "hot melon excavator" has been so popular for so many years.

There are just too many unscrupulous paparazzi like this nowadays!
Gu Lanxi muttered to herself about how bad the game was, while calling Da Cu Gang to explain.

As a result, Lu Nanting was already feeling down from being alone in his room, and when he saw this, he couldn't hold back any longer and posted a Weibo post, subtly showing off his affection.

Gu Lanxi called, but it was too late.

How many celebrity couples have been completely torn apart by paparazzi revelations? Just thinking about it, I can recall a whole bunch.
