The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Lu Nanting turned off the live stream and then ignored it, putting away his phone and eating in peace.

During the previous live stream, no one wanted to be on camera, so they made room for him and took his bowl to another table.

Now that the live stream was over, everyone returned to their seats, and Gu Lanxi also sat back down with her bowl.

This is one of the advantages of working in an artist's studio.

Because the work schedule is not fixed and the personnel composition is relatively simple, everyone gets along casually and there is not a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates.

In any serious workplace, it would be utterly outrageous for employees to start eating before the boss has even begun.

"Boss, you're too ruthless! Those Yuanbao brothers are so angry with you! They're cursing you in the personal supertopic right now, and Dragonfly Sister is arguing with them, haha!"

Lu Nanting picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and sneered:
"Have they insulted me enough? Many people post every day, cursing me to get dumped soon. I haven't cursed them out, which shows how well-mannered I am."

Gu Lanxi sighed, glanced at him, but ultimately said nothing.

It's one thing for solo fans to just enjoy their own little world, but it's another to come up to him and act aggressively. It's normal for him to get angry.

If it were Gu Lanxi, she would also be unhappy if any treacherous moth came to ask her about Lu Nanting's schedule.

"Boss, people are already trying to ride your coattails. Many businesses are calling out to you, inviting you to take advantage of their deals."

Gu Lanxi opened Weibo and took a look.

Very well, the Poison Moth has given her a new nickname: Wool Gu.

Weibo urged her to subscribe to a membership, saying there would be discounts for subscribing to multiple accounts this year; shopping platforms like Taobao, Pinduoduo, and JD.com called her to shop, telling her about government subsidies for home appliances and large discount coupons, saying she'd be missing out if she didn't take advantage of them; travel platforms were aggressively promoting their latest promotion of winter tourism in Northeast China, offering discounts of up to 500 yuan on airfares; even a cat and dog adoption charity sent its "star performer," blinking her adorable big eyes, to urge her to come and take a look, telling her that these furry friends were all free, and if she loved them well, she could take them home...

Gu Lanxi took a deep breath, clenched her fist for a full three seconds before releasing it, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Lu Nanting wiggled his knee and gently touched her leg under the table, explaining in a low voice, "These days, it's not easy for anyone to do business. Just ignore them. Celebrities are like that; it's normal for them to be used for publicity."

In front of the staff, Gu Lanxi didn't say anything, but smiled at him, handed him a tissue, and told him to wipe his mouth.

When they got home and were alone, she couldn't help but complain:
"Why do you tell everyone everything? I don't know how many people are laughing at me now."

"What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at how cute you are, or how good you are at managing a household?"

The wealthy ladies and wives in the rich circle often laughed at her for being stingy. They even dug up stories about her returning tissues after going out to eat and made fun of her, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Spending money you shouldn't spend isn't being rich; it's being a sucker!
So she remained silent for a few seconds, then glared at Lu Nanting:
"Don't associate me with words like 'cute'!"

"The cuteness I'm talking about is a very complex 'feeling'—it's about sincerity, humor, dreams, wisdom, and occasionally a little absent-minded... Please don't define it with worldly stereotypes."

Gu Lanxi lowered her head and shook her skirt with both hands.

"But you didn't even glance at me much today!"

The two went upstairs talking. Lu Nanting moved the large double-eared vase in the corner of the bedroom to the head of the bed and put the rose balloon in it.

"Don't put it here. It would be such a waste if you accidentally kicked it and it broke. This vase cost 68,000 yuan!"

Lu Nanting agreed and carried the vase around the room, changing its position several times before finally placing it beside the chaise lounge.

Next, I moved a floor lamp over and adjusted the lighting repeatedly.

After that, he ran to the study to get the camera and invited her to lie down on the chaise lounge.

"Place your arms like this, under your cheeks, lean diagonally onto the cushion, and cross your legs slightly..."

Gu Lanxi blinked, obediently walked over, and struck a pose as he instructed.

Lu Nanting's eyes sparkled as he walked over and straightened her skirt.

Back at the photo-taking spot, I glanced at the camera a few times, then adjusted the floor lamp to make the light a bit dimmer.

After several adjustments and changing to a patterned cushion, filming officially began.

Gu Lanxi kept changing her posture, her eyes sometimes clear and innocent, sometimes alluring and seductive without her realizing it.

After taking photos in the bedroom, Lu Nanting ran over and carried her to the study, where he placed her on the desk.

The veteran actress's orange-red photo album makes another appearance, seemingly messy, placed beside her.

Gu Lanxi reached out and casually flipped through one of the books.

With the lights turned white, Lu Nanting came to her side and behind, specifically to take pictures of her profile.

He also took a picture of himself in the album. After going back and forth for half an hour, Gu Lanxi was already yawning, but he still had plenty of energy.

He even said, "The way you yawned just now was like a little princess, wait a minute..."

He actually ran over again, carried her back to the bedroom, and made her sit on the bed.

"This cotton quilt isn't very nice. I remember we have a velvet one at home, right? That one has a sheen, but it's not as shiny as silk..."

After saying that, she went downstairs with a thud and went to the storage room to find a wine-red velvet quilt and brought it up.

Disliking the tattered duvet cover, she took a blanket and put it on. She repeatedly pulled it on the bed, creating nice creases, before carefully placing her in the middle of the bed.

Gu Lanxi hadn't worn shoes or even touched the ground since he started taking photos. He carried her around the house, and even the best-tempered person couldn't help but get annoyed.

"What evil spirit has possessed you today?"

"There are too many people outside, and I'm too embarrassed to look at them for too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. I'll print out the photos and make a small album to take with me when I go on business trips. When I miss you, I'll look at them."

"You're so good to yourself."

"It will only be better for you!"

"Humph~"

Gu Lanxi stretched and lay down.

The soft blanket sank slightly, and Gu Lanxi closed her eyes. Even without makeup, she looked more beautiful than if she were wearing makeup.

"You look like Snow White."

The burgundy color made her skin look fairer, and with the white dress and her fair skin, Gu Lanxi looked like a porcelain doll.

"No, I am the Princess and the Pea. What was under the blanket? It landed on me."

"It was just laid out, is there anything wrong?"

As he approached, Gu Lanxi laughed and, with a flick of the blanket, wrapped him up.

"I have to go out and catch a plane tomorrow, don't you even know what time it is! Why aren't you asleep yet! If you like it, I'll wear it for you to see later."

Lu Nanting, wrapped up in her arms, struggled to pull out his camera and smiled at her like he was showing off a treasure:
"How about you take a look at my work?"

Gu Lanxi raised an eyebrow, looked at him, let go of him, casually praised him a couple of times, yawned, stood up, and went to the bathroom.

After taking two quick showers, I casually put on a bathrobe and was about to go to the bedroom to get some sleep when Lu Nanting returned from taking a shower next door.

Seeing him enter, Gu Lanxi casually locked the door from the inside. She raised an eyebrow but did not refuse.

After the passion subsided, she squinted and nestled against Lu Nanting's chest, whispering, "I'm not going to the concert. Don't wake me up tomorrow morning."

Lu Nanting was still patting her back, panting, when he heard this, his breath caught in his throat: "What's wrong? You haven't had anything going on lately, have you bought the tickets?"

"I don't want to go anymore."

Gu Lanxi got up, took a shower in the bathroom, and then went back to sleep.

He closed his eyes, shook the blanket, and lay down comfortably before softly announcing the punishment clause for Lu Gou: "From now on, new rules will be implemented, prohibiting unrestrained speech."

"Honey, this punishment is too harsh! You didn't tell me beforehand, so it doesn't count!"

I've been away on business for several days in a row. I thought my wife would come with me. The air in Shanghai even feels sweeter!

As a result, just because he said a few blunt truths during his live stream, Gu Lanxi announced that she wouldn't be going!
The whole night was peaceful and dignified; only just before going to sleep did the knife strike.

Lu Nanting said he could not accept it.

Gu Lanxi turned around and faced away from him.

"Alright, sir, you're in charge of the big decisions, and I'll make the small ones. Go to sleep!"

"However, do you get to decide what's important and what's trivial?"

"Mmm~ Brother is so smart."

Lu Nanting wanted to say something more, but Gu Lanxi's breathing had already become lighter. He gently pushed her, but she didn't wake up.

Okay, the instant sleep expert is asleep now. (End of Chapter)
