The sweetest in the entertainment industry

The formation of habits is a terrible thing.

Because it often happens in places that people don't notice, it's a long and subtle process.

When they finally discover it, people can't help but exclaim in surprise, "How could it have turned out like this?"

The two got their marriage certificate in July, so it's been a little over four months now.

During this period, Gu Lanxi stayed in the film crew for a little over two months and then went to Africa for a week. Lu Nanting also went abroad for a while because of Fashion Week. The two of them probably only lived together for about a month.

But that night, when she got home, Gu Lanxi suddenly realized that she was starting to get used to another person's breathing in the dark; used to someone holding her in their arms while she slept; used to someone covering her up when she kicked off the covers; used to chatting before bed and waking up with a kiss...

This caused her to roll around on the bed more than a dozen times, feeling uncomfortable no matter how she lay down.

I tossed and turned until almost dawn before finally falling asleep, and when I woke up it was already past midnight.

After washing up, she went downstairs, where the kitchen had already prepared her favorite dishes.

Well, I'm not even used to eating alone anymore.

She ate only half a bowl of brown rice mixed with corn crumbs before sighing and putting down her chopsticks.

Since Aunt Wang was on vacation, Aunt Xiao cooked all the meals today.

Seeing that she hadn't eaten much, Old Xiao asked anxiously, "Miss Gu, is the food not to your liking?"

Gu Lanxi waved her hand to reassure her: "You did a great job, I just didn't have much of an appetite."

Old Xiao immediately stopped talking, no longer pursuing the issue, and instead asked her:
"What would you like for dinner? Would you like something appetizing?"

"No need, I have dinner plans. Don't worry about me tonight, I'll probably be back late."

Having said that, he said no more and went back upstairs.

Except in emergencies, she usually checks on household matters once a month, checking the bills and allocating funds for household expenses. Otherwise, she leaves it to the elderly people who are used to doing things in the Lu family.

Looking at the time, Gu Lanxi figured Lu Nanting should have landed by now, so she called him right on time, but he didn't answer for a long time.

They were both very busy, so this was a common occurrence. Gu Lanxi didn't take it seriously. She sent a WeChat message to let her know when she arrived, then went to the dressing room, found a more formal outfit, and then walked around for a while before opening the closet and taking out a limited-edition tote bag that Lu Nanting had bought for her, intending to carry it when she went out.

After changing my clothes and picking up my bag, I looked in the mirror, took off my jewelry, found a nice watch to wear, and nodded in satisfaction.

I'm going to discuss business today, so I'll dress more maturely and have a cool, sophisticated look to give my business partners more confidence.

She is very experienced in this area.

Pack up the things you usually use, then go downstairs again.

Since it was still early before the agreed-upon dinner time, she planned to go to the studio first.

I had no choice when I was on set, but now that I'm at home, I naturally have to go and check on things from time to time.

After going downstairs, Gu Lanxi checked her watch again and frowned.

Half an hour has passed, and the call still hasn't been returned.

He's going to work, and he has so many staff members with him, what's there to worry about?

Although she thought that, she couldn't help but glance at her phone again.

She began to realize that she was unconsciously paying too much attention to Lu Nanting, yet she couldn't control herself.

This made her very upset.

Just then, Lu Nanting finally dialed the number.

"I didn't hold my phone properly and the screen broke. I only got a spare phone after I got out of the airport and into the car."

This wasn't surprising, Gu Lanxi hummed in agreement, and didn't ask any further questions. Sensing that she wasn't in a good mood, Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh: "I heard that while I was away, you were trending on social media for meeting a male model late at night?"

He didn't take it seriously at all, which is why he brought it up with such a relaxed smile.

Gu Lanxi posted the video last night and went to sleep, and hadn't paid attention to what happened afterward. When he mentioned it, she couldn't help but frown: "Are the marketing accounts up to something again?"

"I had just seen a headline when I got off the plane, but before I could even read it, my phone fell to the ground in fright. I watched helplessly as you called, but I couldn't answer it no matter what I did. Can you tell me what happened?"

“We were photographed together in Nanjing before. My fans know I like bird watching and kept bothering me to see the photos I took. They were worried about the copyright issues, so I posted a video. I felt it was too dry and boring, so I added some audio.”

She wasn't in a good mood at the time, so doing this might have been partly to cheer herself up.

To be honest, she has never been a boring person. She has many hobbies and is always busy, and she is very willing to try new things.

But she had never had this desire to share before, nor had she ever taken fans' requests to heart, thus leading to this act of pampering her fans.

It seems that after marrying Lu Nanting, she has changed a lot without anyone noticing, but no one had noticed before.

Gu Lanxi was taken aback for a moment, then heard a soft laugh from the other end: "Then I'll have to take a closer look when I get back; it's sure to be very interesting."

"Once it's been sent out, there's no need to worry about it being seen," Gu Lanxi softly hummed in agreement, then asked him:

Have you arrived at the hotel yet?

"Still on the way, we'll have to wait a while."

"Eat well and get plenty of rest. I'm getting ready to go out."

Hearing the elevator doors open, Lu Nanting casually asked, "Going to a meeting?"

Gu Lanxi recalled the lie she told last night, but her expression remained unchanged: "Mind your own business when it comes to women's affairs."

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh again: "Well, I don't care, and I don't have time to care. I'm going to the filming location soon, and I don't know when I'll finish filming."

"Don't they all get jet lag?"

"There's no other way, time is tight, it's rare for me to come here, and I still have two endorsement shoots to do."

Thinking for a moment, Lu Nanting asked her again, "I'm going to Italy in a couple of days, and then to Spain. Is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."

"I don't want anything, I just want you to be safe."

Lu Nanting has a concert at the end of the month, and afterwards he has to shoot the music video for his new album. I don't know if he's finished recording yet.

There are also various business activities in between.

Gu Lanxi knew he was busy, and the schedule was repeatedly discussed with various teams. Any change would affect many people.

So although I felt sorry for him working so hard, I didn't suggest that he stay a few more days.

After ending the call, Gu Lanxi switched to her strong woman persona, putting aside her personal feelings and going out to work hard for her career. Lu Nanting finally found time to watch the video she sent.

Zhang Mingyuan was checking the itinerary in the passenger seat when he heard laughter erupting from the back seat. He immediately turned around.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Nanting, wearing headphones, finished watching the video and was scrolling through the comments section, unable to stop laughing out loud as he read.

Hearing Zhang Mingyuan's question, he didn't bother to answer, because he saw Gu Lanxi's "like" and was almost laughing his head off!
So, not long after the fans finished lunch, Lu Nanting came to the comments section to leave a message:
[Tsk, red socks, black eyeliner, stick-thin legs, what kind of non-mainstream outfit is this? Next time, come to me, my taste is way better. Follow my lead, and I won't charge you!]

The fans were thankfully not laughing themselves silly!
He joked around for a bit, then went off to shoot a magazine cover, leaving Gu Lanxi busy until 10 p.m. before she got home.

When I got home and opened Weibo, I saw Lu Nanting trending on Weibo: #LuNanting's methods of vying for favor are so dirty#
I clicked on it and thank goodness I didn't laugh myself silly!

Although the two are in different places, this whole thing has turned out quite interesting, with them interacting remotely. (End of Chapter)
