Chapter 254 Doing What You Want

Gu Lanxi calmed down, not because of any sentimental reasons like "I'm heartbroken."

Rather, it was because she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her lately.

Even Lu Nanting has said more than once that she's love-struck, so it seems she really does have that tendency.

The two had discussed the issue of freedom of dress in private, and both agreed that as long as it was not offensive to public morals, there was no problem.

To be honest, Lu Nanting's outfit at this fashion week was absolutely perfect.

She shouldn't have felt that his attire was inappropriate because of her own selfishness.

If a person's mind is controlled by emotions and they cannot think rationally, then they are doomed.

If she loses herself in a relationship and her life focus gradually shifts from "self" to "him," then she is not far from becoming the "third young mistress of the Lu family."

Realizing this, Gu Lanxi felt extremely panicked.

She's always been rational and calm; she shouldn't be like this.

She knows she's very possessive and domineering, but a healthy relationship shouldn't be like that.

An occasional indulgence is fun, but doing it every day becomes a constraint.

If a marriage only brings a sense of constraint to the other person, how can it possibly last?
So, as soon as Lu Nanting set foot on the territory of his motherland, he received the news that Gu Lanxi had gone home for a visit and then flew directly to Kenya.

The director changed from Gao Yunyi to Han Yucheng, and Gu Lanxi's scenes became more concentrated, ultimately wrapping up filming three days ahead of schedule.

When Gu Lanxi realized something was wrong with her, the first change she made was to be brave and explore the world.

She has always disliked taking risks and always strives for stability in everything she does, until one night, she suddenly realized something.

Life is short. There are so many things we haven't done, so many sights we haven't seen. We spend all our time revolving around one man, and then around our children. What's the point of making so much money?
Just after signing the contract, Jia Ni proposed several advertising shooting plans.

One option is to take advantage of the dry season, when the grasslands are sparsely vegetated and offer a wide view, to shoot a global promotional film with an adventurer theme in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Wildlife Reserve.

This upcoming new series of professional cameras and lenses excels in motion capture, making them particularly suitable for shooting sporting events and capturing memorable moments of animals' daily lives.

The brand offered several options, but Gu Lanxi chose this one because she had never been to Africa and wanted to see the lion cubs on the savanna in person.

Lu Nanting was extremely anxious!
When they called, Gu Lanxi refused to answer.

It wasn't until he had ignored her for a long time, and she had ignored him for just as long, that he finally replied with a message saying, "I'm busy with work, I'll talk to you when I get back."

"Some people seem to have a good temper, but they can be incredibly fierce when they get angry!"

That evening, Lu Nanting was in a bad mood and didn't dare to go out drinking, so he invited Zhang Mingyuan to his house to drink with him.

After a couple of drinks, he started rambling on about how terrible Gu Lanxi's temper was.

Zhang Mingyuan picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, chewing it noisily: "That's why I told you long ago not to cause trouble, but you just couldn't help it!"

"What can I do? I'm always itching to do something, and I don't want to either!"

The two drank and talked, and Zhang Mingyuan, feeling sorry for him, couldn't help but use the same old rhetoric to persuade him:

"This endorsement will greatly enhance Ms. Gu's commercial value. She is young and this is her first time taking on an endorsement, so she will inevitably be more cooperative. The brand suggested going to Kenya, and she probably can't say anything about it. Just think of it as her going on vacation."

"That's a lion! What if we encounter danger?!"

"The team has dozens of people!!"

Zhang Mingyuan picked up another peanut and put it in his mouth.

I must say, Aunt Xiao's cooking skills are top-notch. These peanuts are fried to perfection, even more fragrant than meat. Zhang Mingyuan is simply treating himself like a glutton and a garbage can.

Compared to Gu Lanxi's dignified demeanor, where she neither complains nor curses, Lu Nanting talks far too much nonsense when he's in a bad mood!

As the two drank more, this guy's nose turned red and tears streamed down his face.

"She's unhappy but won't say anything, she just sulks and ignores everyone, that's too much! What exactly does she mean? Can't she just be clear about her jealousy? Can't she scold me a few times? Or even beat me up..."

Zhang Mingyuan: "..."

Zhang Mingyuan took out his phone and recorded a video of him.

The next morning, Lu Nanting got up and received a message from Zhang Mingyuan, all of which were about him crying.

[Isn't that the emoji you used for memes that doesn't show crying? Come on, the material's still fresh, hurry up and finish it.]

After that, they even found him work:

[You wasted so much time going abroad, you were supposed to rush to record the song, but you got so drunk, your voice is probably hoarse now, so you can only stay at home, right? Serves you right!]

After rambling on and on, he finally sent over a screenshot to complain:
[By the way, I sent the video above to your wife, but she blocked me and hasn't released it yet. It's not that I don't want to help you! I've even swallowed my pride and tried to appease her, but she ignored me. I'm really angry! You're doomed!]

Lu Nanting, seemingly unfazed, simply added his own crying emoji to Gu Lanxi's emoji collection, modified it repeatedly, and then uploaded it online.

Then, using this as an excuse, he sought out Gu Lanxi for a chat:
[Lu Nanting crying.JPG Wife, I think a meme without crying emojis is incomplete, so last night was all about recording footage, deliberately creating a sad atmosphere.]

Gu Lanxi didn't say anything, but directly sent a video.

It was late at night when Zhang Mingyuan left. He was singing love songs while hugging a persimmon tree in the yard. In the middle of the night, his voice, like the cawing of crows, startled the patrolling security guards.

This was recorded when Aunt Chen and Aunt Xiao came out and persuaded him to go home.

"It certainly has a sad atmosphere."

Gu Lanxi sent a voice message, her voice was cheerful but a little hoarse.

Lu Nanting immediately became worried: "Wife, why does your voice sound off? Do you have a cold?"

Gu Lanxi was speechless. She cleared her throat before replying, "Brother, it's five in the morning here. I'm not even awake yet, and you've been sending messages non-stop."

Hearing that she was speaking normally and was willing to talk to him, Lu Nanting was relieved that he didn't burst into tears of joy!

"Honey, I was wrong. I'll wait for you to come back. You can do whatever you want with me, but please don't be angry with me."

“I wasn’t angry, I just had a possessive urge, but I’ve calmed down now, so don’t overthink it. You can wear whatever you like.”

He directly admitted the reason for his previous anger, and frankly expressed his thoughts.

To Lu Nanting, it sounded like a series of "It's all over, it's all over" cries.

"How can you say I'm not possessive? I deliberately provoke you, so you should be angry!"

Gu Lanxi didn't want to talk about such meaningless nonsense, so she changed the subject: "I'm going to take pictures of giraffes today. I met a baby giraffe yesterday. It was so cute."

She is now full of curiosity about the world and has no desire to get entangled in these petty romances.

Realizing this, Lu Nanting was relieved that he hadn't burst into tears like a dog!

She used to cling to him and act all cute, calling him "brother" sweetly and asking him to help her braid her hair, dress her, and do her makeup... but in the blink of an eye, that feeling is gone.

I absolutely regret it now!
Sometimes being a little too clingy and dependent can get too carried away. You need to clear your head, be a strong woman, be the master of your own emotions, and not be influenced by others—that's wonderful.
