The sweetest in the entertainment industry

What happened in Chapter 33?

"what happened?"

Lu Nanting hadn't finished eating yet. Thinking that he had just moved in and might not be used to it, Gu Lanxi sat there to keep him company.

Seeing that she started to frown after looking at her phone for a while, Lu Nanting immediately expressed his concern.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

A group of people were curious whether she had a boyfriend.

But the photo was taken cleverly, without any key information, and she didn't want to talk about it, so she simply put her phone away.

I'll put a privacy screen protector on you later.

"Ok?"

My thought process jumps around like musical notes.

That's probably his innate skill.

"I liked your post last night."

The green interface is easy to recognize.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile.

Gu Lanxi goes to bed early, and Lu Nanting saw that post on WeChat Moments last night.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep.

Even though he clearly guessed why she was frowning, he still pretended to be nonchalant!

Gu Lanxi glared at him, then stood up, refusing to stay with him any longer.

"Leave the dishes and chopsticks after you finish eating. Aunt Wang will clean them up. I have to go to a meeting. You stay here by yourself. If you need anything, talk to Aunt Wang. She doesn't know anything about this. We'll talk after my meeting."

"Well, go and do your work!"

Gu Lanxi had been his tutor for half a year. During that time, the two often spent time together. After that, they started dating. Although she wasn't a very proactive person, Lu Nanting liked to stick close to her, and the two often went out on dates. They moved under the same roof, and he wasn't too uncomfortable with it.

Actually, there were still more than twenty minutes before the meeting started. Gu Lanxi was just a little embarrassed and didn't want to stay with him.

Lu Nanting was still eating when Gu Lanxi left the restaurant and went straight to the second bedroom.

The housekeeper came on time, and the second bedroom was always very clean. The only person who would stay overnight was her cousin, Gu Jiayi, who was very much in love with her new boyfriend and hadn't come for more than two months, so the bed was bare.

When Lu Nanting finished eating and came over, she saw the white wardrobe door open, and she was bending over pulling at the dark gray cotton bed sheet.

A thin silk quilt and a light gray cotton quilt cover were piled on the bay window, the white gauze curtains were closed, and the blackout curtains were dark green.

"They're all new. I washed them once after buying them and then put them away. If you don't like them, there are more in the storage room. I'll get you another set."

Lu Nanting walked in and closed the wardrobe behind him.

"Don't spoil me. If you spoil me, how will you live the rest of your life!"

Gu Lanxi grabbed a pillow and slapped it at her.

"Can you please say less?"

"You should speak, brother! If you can speak, then speak more!"

Gu Lanxi wanted to laugh at his joke, but she had a lot to do right now, and time would fly by if she started laughing, so she couldn't afford to waste any more time.

So she put down the pillow and patted his back: "Brother, shut up and go put the blanket on."

Lu Nanting chuckled and made a zipping motion with his mouth before obediently getting to work.

It's hot, and the central air conditioning runs 24 hours a day. I need to prepare a light blanket to keep warm at night in case I catch a cold.

Even if he had never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run. Lu Nanting tried to crumple the quilt into a ball, stuff it into the duvet cover, and then pull at it from all sides, but he just couldn't flatten it.

Gu Lanxi has excellent life skills, but she doesn't like to take on all the chores herself.

Seeing that he was hesitating about whether to crawl under the covers to "quell the chaos," he immediately offered advice:

"Pull the blanket out, find the four corners, make sure they're the right length and width, tuck them in, hold the corners, and gently shake it. You just haven't grasped the trick yet. You're so smart, you can do it very well with a little effort. Come on, try it like I said?"

Gu Lanxi was always so patient in his work, and his words of encouragement were exceptionally sincere, as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn't learn if he wanted to.

She used to feel like giving up when she couldn't solve a problem, and she still feels that way now that she can't put on a duvet cover.

Gu Lanxi provided him with a great deal of emotional support.

When he was younger, he would throw tantrums like a spoiled prince, and she would have to coax him. He never paid attention to whether she was getting tired or not. Now he wouldn't be like that anymore. Lu Nanting looked at her gently and nodded: "Okay, you go to your meeting first! I'll practice a few more times. Once I've mastered it, I'll change all the bed sheets at home!"

There are really only a few minutes left before the meeting starts.

Gu Lanxi glanced at her watch, patted his broad back, turned and went into the study, her expression conveying a sense of encouragement.

Following Gu Lanxi's instructions, Lu Nanting smoothly put on the quilt and pillow, hung the clothes in the wardrobe, and then went to the bathroom to put away the toiletries.

Upon entering this room for the first time and taking a closer look, I found it to be quite cozy.

Although it's a secondary bedroom, it was renovated and now includes an ensuite bathroom and has been moved a meter closer to the living room, so it's not actually that small.

The entire house has glossy black walnut wood flooring, and in addition to a white solid wood carved bed, there is also a set of tables and chairs.

A pot of blooming Cymbidium ensifolium sits on the table, with two flower stalks emerging from the narrow, dark green leaves, bearing lovely little yellow-green flowers.

The room was filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Lu Nanting quickly packed his things, lay down on the bed to try out the pillow, and found it a bit low. He then found a taller pillow on top of the wardrobe, put on the matching pillowcase, patted it gently, and placed it on the bed.

The phone was charging on the bedside table. Once it was fully charged, Lu Nanting picked it up and pressed the power button.

As soon as the phone was turned on, Zhang Mingyuan's call popped up immediately.

Lu Nanting answered the phone and heard a concise reply from the other end:

"The rehearsals were almost finished, so don't come today. I've also canceled those business events for you. Just lay low for the next few days."

"Okay, let's not cancel the variety shows on Hunan TV for now."

Whether considering the feelings of fans or to avoid trouble at the concert, it is still necessary to publicly respond to the marriage.

So he planned to go to the variety show first, and then rush to the city where the concert was to be held overnight, as originally planned.

"That's what I thought too, so I didn't push it."

After listening to Lu Nanting's idea, Zhang Mingyuan expressed his agreement.

"Well, what's the situation now?"

Lu Nanting married openly; the reason he kept it a secret was simply for Gu Lanxi's sake.

He was worried that his family would find out and that Gu Lanxi would be unhappy. He only cared about Gu Lanxi's feelings.

"Don't worry about the endorsement. This isn't a scandal, and there's no clause in the contract that prohibits marriage during the endorsement period, which violates marriage law."

Zhang Mingyuan spoke with conviction, but in reality, he was not without concerns.

Because Gu Lanxi was unwilling to make an official announcement, no matter how many contingency plans were made, the CP (couple) fanbase couldn't grow.

The significant loss of his wife and girlfriend fans will likely lead to a decline in his popularity after marriage.

Brands might hesitate at that point, making it harder for him to secure new endorsements.

Zhang Mingyuan's income is directly linked to Lu Nanting's, which affects him to some extent.

But he is not a person who would abandon principles for personal gain.

Moreover, as Lu Nanting gets older, it's inevitable that he will get married and have children.

Although the day came a little early, Zhang Mingyuan was mentally prepared and accepted it quite quickly.

Lu Nanting understood all this, and to reassure his manager, he took the initiative to propose producing a new album.

"I've already accumulated quite a few new songs. I'll pick some out later and see if I can finish them after the New Year."

Don't be fooled by the fact that a digital album only costs a few dollars; it's a very profitable business.

"You're touring and producing a new album at the same time, aren't you afraid of working yourself to death? I'm afraid of going bald!"

"It's okay, Brother Yuan, you'll still be handsome even if you go bald."

Zhang Mingyuan finally sighed and agreed to the task.

"Try not to go online these few days, those people are really saying some really nasty things. It's a rare few days off, so I'll try to write a few more songs so the second half of the year can be a bit easier."

Lu Nanting chuckled lightly and said calmly:
"I don't care, let them curse if they want. Just protect my wife and don't let her identity be exposed. She cares about what her fans think."

Zhang Mingyuan knew his bottom line, so he agreed and hung up the phone.
