The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 212 This is very important to me
"After saying all that, what I really want to say is that the reason I keep a clean reputation is not because I have no other reason or obligation, but because I want to be this way. Do you understand?"

His allowance had been robbed, and his savings were almost gone. He thought he would behave himself today, but after a short while, after the staff finished applying hair oil to them and left, leaving only the two of them alone, Lu Nanting spoke up again.

They argued in front of so many people, and he said a lot of nasty things. Gu Lanxi was rarely angry, so she forced him to shut up by going on a shopping spree to vent her anger. Unexpectedly, it only kept quiet for a short while.

Gu Lanxi couldn't understand why he was acting so strangely today, so she turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

She was confident that she had always acted with discretion and had never had any contact with any man that went beyond the bounds of normal social interaction, so she didn't think she would upset him.

It's not worth getting so worked up over a horse and a family tree that doesn't affect your normal life.

The two sat side by side with their heads covered in hair dye. They could see each other's expressions just by looking in the mirror, but Lu Nanting insisted on turning to the side and staring at her.

When Gu Lanxi asked that question, he didn't answer directly, but instead asked her:
"There are many beautiful roses in the world, but the Little Prince only cared about that one. Do you know why?"

Gu Lanxi didn't know why he suddenly asked that, but she thought about it for a moment and answered seriously:

"Given the unidirectional nature of time and the irreversibility of resources, the sunk cost of this rose is higher for him than all the other roses combined. If he were a normal person, he would care more about this one, right?"

Lu Nanting's mind went blank for a moment. He took several deep breaths before he could control himself.

Sure enough, no matter how romantic something is, it becomes bland when spoken by a finance professional.

"It's because of love! Okay? Because it's the rose he loves, that's why it's different from other roses to him!"

Fearing the fool wouldn't understand, he pointed to his own nose and shouted:

"Just like you, you are unique in my eyes. It's not because other women are bad or not pretty, but because I only love you. So to me, you are different! Do you understand?"

Gu Lanxi thought they were going to have another argument, but then a confession came out of nowhere, leaving her speechless.

She's not wrong...

Seeing her staring at him with wide eyes, not saying a word, Lu Nanting made several OK gestures and, without beating around the bush, directly stated his request:

"Next time someone asks you why you married me, please tell them it's because you love me very, very, very much! That's why you married me! Not for any other reason, okay?"

Okay, I feel uneasy because I heard her talking to her classmate on the phone.

Gu Lanxi is so tired.

"Who talks like that? It makes me sound like I'm love-struck. I said it's because you're exceptionally good, isn't that right?"

"No, if there were another person who was also exceptionally good, even better than me, would you marry him?"

"Don't be unreasonable! This kind of thing won't happen."

If she really can't get along with Lu Nanting anymore, she will definitely not look for anyone else.

If a project loses everything, even if she's mentally impaired, she'd never look at a similar project again.

Seeing her confident expression, Lu Nanting's irritation inexplicably dissipated, and his tone of voice softened considerably.

"Love is a choice of the heart. Marriage should be based on love, not on settling for someone just because they are suitable."

"I don't feel that being with you is settling for less."

"Then we should be together because of love! Not because you think I'm a good person!"

"The kind of love you're talking about is driven by hormones. If it's just dating, that might be enough, but marriage is different. My decision to marry you wasn't based on a momentary surge of hormones, but on careful consideration and a rational choice. Without a doubt, I chose you because I think you're wonderful."

Now that there was no one else in the room, Gu Lanxi could finally speak her mind.

"I don't care, just say that next time."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"You just don't love me enough!!"

"What evidence have you gotten? Or what? You've been acting up for so long! You weren't like this before!"

Gu Lanxi was so annoyed!

"If you loved me, why would you go through the family tree just to see if we're related? Would a normal person want their husband to be related to them?"

Okay, it's still about the family tree.

"It just came up suddenly, so I definitely need to find out. What if the blood relationship is too close and it affects the child?"

With so much wealth, an heir is extremely important to her. As we know from a certain royal family, maintaining a long-term practice of consanguineous marriage rarely ends well.

"Children? How dare you even mention that? You're ignoring my feelings for someone who's practically nonexistent. If we really have a child, will I even exist in your eyes? Will I even have a place in this family?"

Gu Lanxi was stunned. She took several deep breaths before she could control the urge to grab his head and beat him up.

"So, our two children aren't both of us, they're just mine? And when did I stop seeing you?"

"You were so busy chatting with my mom that you didn't pay any attention to me. You just kept talking and talking, laughing so happily, you talked to her more than you talked to me!"

"Are you even being reasonable? That's your own mother! My good relationship with her is a good thing for you, isn't it? We chat and video chat every day, haven't we already covered everything? What does it matter whether we chat in person or not? Are you kidding me?!"

Gu Lanxi was so angry that she even spoke in her local dialect; she was truly shocked to the extreme.

Lu Nanting rubbed his face in frustration, sighed deeply, and looked quite listless.

After a long pause, he whispered, "I don't know what's wrong with me. Lately, I keep having all sorts of wild thoughts. One day I dream that you ran off with someone else, and the next day I dream that you dumped me again..."

Okay, crime solved.

This guy seems a bit insecure lately.

If you're married, have made your relationship public, and are even considering having children, but still lack a sense of security, it can only be because of a long-distance relationship.

"The movie just finished filming not long ago, huh? I said I'd spend some time with you, so I won't lie."

Lu Nanting ignored her; since he had already started, he simply continued:

“I’m not by your side. When you’re sick, I’m always the last to know. You never tell me anything that’s wrong.”

Okay, so much time has passed, why bring up old grievances?

No wonder I was able to coax her away so easily back then, and she didn't make a fuss afterwards. Turns out, this was what was waiting for her!

They used all their cunning on her, not on outsiders!

"I just have a cold. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. If my condition becomes critical, I will definitely let you know immediately. You know that in critical moments, I only trust you and you will do everything in your power to save me."

Lu Nanting ignored her and continued chanting:
"I don't know when you're sick, I don't know when you've lost weight, I can't hug you when you're tired, and I can't protect you when you're bullied..."

Well, there's a reason behind all this entanglement.

It's her fault for not being sensitive enough in this regard and not noticing it in time.

"I'll try my best to keep you informed from now on, okay?"

“I share everything I do with you every day, but you always brush me off with just a few words.”

"That would be too time-consuming! I have so many things to do every day. How about this, I'll have an assistant report to you every day what I've done, okay?"

"How can that be? If others find out, they'll think I'm spying on you, and they'll be very worried about you!"

"No, that's all love, that's care. You can do it!!"

Lu Nanting couldn't hold back any longer and gave a sweet smile.

Gu Lanxi slapped him across the face!

"You'd better not try anything funny with me! It's only because I spoil you that I put up with you!"

Lu Nanting simply smiled and offered no explanation.

To outsiders, he is aloof and straightforward; to insiders, he is like a Taihu stone come to life.

A very tiring Sunday.

When I take my two children out, I keep a close eye on them, afraid they might get lost.

They went to the crowded rapeseed flower fields, strolled around the Sichuan University campus, and even went to see the "Boonie Bears" show. If it weren't for her younger brother accidentally wetting his pants while peeing, Wang Jie had planned to go shopping and have dinner.

I can already imagine her growing up and us going shopping together.

Hopefully, with societal progress, shopping malls will be able to set up a "storage area for elderly mothers."
