The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 317 Is that all it takes to appease him?
"You also have times when you're afraid?"

Lu Nanting's words contained no sarcasm, only pure curiosity, but Gu Lanxi still couldn't help but frown upon hearing them:

"How novel! I'm a human being, not a god, so why can't I be afraid? What do you mean by that?"

"In my memory, you have never shown any fear. At most, when you were angry or wronged, you would hug me and cry."

"How could you say you've never had one? It's just that you have a bad memory."

"for example?"

"I'm afraid that being with you won't end well."

"This doesn't count."

"Why not?"

"If the assumption is not true, you are worrying unnecessarily and scaring yourself."

"Yes, just thinking about it in private makes me so scared that I cry out loud. It's so awful."

"You're just trying to fool me. Please be serious, we're discussing a very serious topic."

Gu Lanxi snorted softly, offering no explanation.

“I’m also afraid of being poor and going bankrupt. I have nightmares about it, and I have to get up quickly, open the safe, and carefully calculate my assets. I can only sleep when I’m sure I have money to spend no matter what happens.”

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh, gaining a new understanding of her greed for money.

"Okay, I admit I didn't care enough about you, and I didn't understand you well enough. I was wrong."

"Hmph, it's good that you know you were wrong. My tolerance has its limits; there won't be a next time!"

He offered emotional support, but couldn't win an argument logically. Before it even got dark, Mr. Lu started waving the white flag:
"Sigh, I really need a process to accept this. You've never told me these things before, and suddenly knowing this is something I really can't accept all at once."

"That's because you have the wrong mindset. If it were me, unless you tell me one day, 'I have a child outside,' or 'I'm having an affair,' even if you go to Macau to gamble, I would pay to bail you out without batting an eye."

"You've insulted me again."

Lu Nanting felt quite aggrieved after hearing what he said.

If he dares to gamble, his bodyguards will tie him up and send him home without his mother even saying a word.

"You're not prioritizing things again. Isn't the main point that you're more important to me than money? I was just using a somewhat inappropriate example."

Seeing his soft, wet eyes, with slightly reddened rims, like a pitiful little dog, Gu Lanxi took out her phone without hesitation.

Seeing that she was about to take a picture of him with her phone, Lu Nanting quickly blocked the camera.

"Don't take any unflattering photos of me. Even the most handsome person will lose their charm after seeing too many unflattering pictures. I'll make sure you get a good makeover later so you can take as many photos as you want!"

"I'll take the picture. Next time you run off with a balloon without even looking at me, I'll post your ugly photos on Weibo. You'll lose followers in no time. Are you scared yet?!"

Hearing her say that, Lu Nanting immediately lowered his hand.

"Anything you want is fine with me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about that kind of thing?"

Seeing Gu Lanxi's speechless expression as she put her phone away, Lu Nanting, harboring a wicked intention, began to undress:

"You don't even know how to threaten people. Come on, let's increase the intensity."

"Are you crazy!"

Seeing him strip naked in the blink of an eye and show off his abs, Gu Lanxi got angry and kept slapping his shoulder. The more she slapped him, the more he laughed, and finally she couldn't help but laugh herself.

"I'd rather die than let those women outside get away with this!"

"What do you mean by 'those women outside'?! There are no women outside!"

"If you don't get dressed properly, I'm going to invite someone else to dinner."

In almost three seconds, Lu Nanting had picked up his clothes and put them on properly.

"Who are you meeting up with? Those guys outside? They call me 'wife' all the time, and they're even better at it than I am. How can you be so sour?"

"Can't I ask my brother out? He's my own brother, we're related by blood!"

Gu Lanxi has a lot of cousins, many of whom study here, so it's very easy to arrange a meal together.

"Then you should ask me out. We're related by blood, so we're pretty much the same."

Gu Lanxi rolled her eyes.

Are you planning to hold this against yourself for the rest of your life?

"To prevent me from getting amnesia when I'm old, I need to find a way to write it down, frame it, and hang it above my bed." "We could start a trendy brand."

Running a trendy brand or a hot pot restaurant has low barriers to entry and high returns; it's basically a traditional money-making scheme passed down in the entertainment industry.

At first, it was alright, and the fans were still willing to accept it. But in the past two years, anyone who does this will be criticized for being greedy for money.

Lu Nanting was puzzled as to why she suddenly brought this up, and why she sounded so serious. The confusion on his face was impossible to hide.

"We're not short of money, there's no need for us to do this..."

While I was still thinking of a reason, I saw the person next to me, with an innocent face and clear, bright eyes, say something that was particularly hurtful:

“You can design the ‘Gu Lanxi’s Crimes’ series of T-shirts yourself and sell one every year. Write down all the things I did wrong to you back then.”

"The material is XJ long-staple cotton. With operations, packaging, and logistics, the cost will not exceed 80. Then it's 188 per piece. We have a limited pre-sale of one million pieces. Just to know what you complained about, fans rush to buy. We make a huge profit of 1.08 million. And some people will even cry out, 'Brother, please, add more orders!'"
"The most crucial thing is that the voyeuristic desire takes over. This can be done once a year. The collecting obsession kicks in, and I absolutely can't bear to return the items."

"Don't you think this idea is brilliant? It guarantees that everyone else will get scolded, while we'll get praised."

Because what they're selling isn't clothing, but rather celebrity merchandise.

They are different in nature.

Lu Nanting: "..."

I was so angry that I couldn't find the right words for a long time.

Finally, he couldn't help but complain, "Brother Yuan, are you poisonous? It's only been a short time, and you've already infected me like this!"

That sarcastic tone is just too mean!

If they were live streaming right now, the chat would be flooded with comments from their die-hard fans: "He really loves her! Even after all this, he still tries to shift the blame for her!"

"Isn't this better than hanging it above the bed? You're just lucky to have married such a shrewd businesswoman like me; you've really struck gold!"

Lu Nanting: "..."

Suddenly, I lost the desire to continue the conversation.

This capitalist behavior is truly adept at exploiting people.

On the one hand, I felt speechless with complaints, but on the other hand, I was actually quite moved and thought her idea was simply ingenious!
The two remained silent for a long time before calming down.

Gu Lanxi changed the subject, her tone very serious:

"From now on, I'll take you with me no matter what I do. You'll get used to it after a while. By the way, I've been riding horses a lot lately, you can come with me. As for my spare time, I skateboard, you can join me there too."

"My schedule is packed to the brim, but I'd like to."

"Then forget about it. Work comes first. It's enough to be called a vixen; I don't want to be called Daji the Goddess."

“Even if I work all year round, people will still criticize me. You care a lot about what others think.”

"He's a bit too concerned about maintaining a good image."

"But you're carrying my idol image on your shoulders!"

He doesn't care about his own affairs at all, but he jumps up immediately whenever Lu Nanting is involved.

"Shut up, Lu Nanting! You're so love-struck you can't see anything right."

"I'm just stating the facts, okay?"

"Shut up!"

They chatted and argued all the way, saying a lot of pointless things. When they were parched, they grabbed their water bottles and started drinking. Looking out the window, they saw that they had arrived at the private restaurant.

This private restaurant is located in a small alley. It's highly recommended by locals in Guangdong. It's an authentic chicken restaurant with various cooking methods, but the signature dish is pork tripe chicken.

The pepper broth is rich and flavorful, and the tender chicken is wrapped in pork belly, making it the perfect time for nourishing the body in autumn and winter.

Because of the advance reservation, the greeter had already arrived at the alley entrance.

After getting out of the car, he led his people inside.

Zhang Mingyuan got out of another car with his assistant and others. Seeing the couple holding hands and smiling broadly, he couldn't help but tease them with a smile: "Oh~ you've won them over already? Boss, you're efficient!"

Gu Lanxi remained silent, but quietly let go of Lu Gou's hand.

Lu Nanting rushed over immediately!
"You still have the nerve to laugh?!"

Zhang Mingyuan was baffled: "You two are trending again. I'm happy, why shouldn't I laugh?"
