The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 37 Now he won't.
Most young people are prone to oversleeping. With so many things happening yesterday and that incident in the middle of the night, Lu Nanting ended up staying up late again.

The window was opened just a crack, letting in the gentle southeast breeze of a midsummer morning. As soon as the door opened, the orchids on the table trembled slightly.

Lu Nanting lay on his side facing the window, one hand pressed against his face and the other tucked under the pillow. A light gray blanket covered his stomach, revealing his strong and powerful long legs.

The rising sun shone through the dappled curtains, casting a layer of fine, scattered light on him.

Gu Lanxi walked over and gently patted his back.

Gentle yet firm, again and again:
"Hey, wake up, wake up..."

The air conditioning was on high in the morning, and the young man was very hot. Gu Lanxi felt her palms getting warm and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the emergency, she would probably have quietly left and pretended she hadn't been there.

Having slept for just over five hours, Lu Nanting was incredibly sleepy when someone suddenly patted his back, and it took him a while to open his eyes.

When he saw that it was Gu Lanxi calling him, he remembered where he was staying.

All morning grumpiness vanished instantly. He coughed twice, making sure his voice was gentle enough before asking, "What's wrong?"

Gu Lanxi is very self-disciplined and has a strong sense of boundaries. She never forces others to follow her lifestyle.

In the past, sometimes when he was late for class or when it was raining heavily and he couldn't go back to school, his mother would let him stay at home. She would always get up early and never go into his room to wake him up, even if it was time for class. Instead, she would quietly do her own thing and wait patiently.

That's just her personality; she would never change just because she's in her own home now.

So, she must have something to tell me when she wakes me up.

"What's wrong with your car? People online are saying you're involved in a criminal case."

Lu Nanting turned to face her and saw her squatting by the bed, her voice tinged with panic. He took her hand and shoved it under her cheek.

"It's just an antifreeze leak, something that's easy to clarify. The PR team will handle it. The reason we haven't clarified it yet is simply because we're waiting for the best time."

It's only 7 o'clock, the police haven't even started work yet! What's the rush?
After initially abusing fans, pampering them and ultimately solidifying that fanbase is a basic practice in the entertainment industry.

Gu Lanxi is the only one who doesn't do this. Otherwise, with her intelligence, she would be able to see through the public relations team's plans at a glance.

"I finished dealing with this last night and didn't go to sleep until really late. I'm going to sleep a little longer~"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and rubbed his hand against hers.

Long, curled eyelashes, a high nose bridge, red lips, and fluffy hair...

It's lazy and looks like a big cat.

Indeed, concern leads to confusion.

Gu Lanxi sighed inwardly, and quickly figured it out.

Seeing that he was really sleepy, she didn't try to break free and planned to leave after he fell asleep.

The room was quiet; you could hear another person breathing.

Lu Nanting was clearly very sleepy, but he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at her.

"Aren't you going to sleep? Why are you looking at me?"

"Gu Lanxi".

Gu Lanxi didn't know why he suddenly called her, so she casually replied:
"Well, I'm here."

"I feel like I'm dreaming."

Lu Nanting smiled and intertwined his fingers with hers:

"I'm so happy to see you as soon as I open my eyes."

Gu Lanxi didn't know what to say to respond appropriately. She had remained calm during filming, even when the dialogue was a hundred times more explicit, but now her heart was racing.

"I have to go out for a medical check-up today, and I'll be joining the team soon, so I won't have time to go."

Gu Lanxi cares a lot about her health; she has known since childhood that she should treat herself as well as possible.

Not knowing how to respond, I'll just change the subject.

Having witnessed the most devastating consequences of a failed relationship, she is always filled with distrust towards love.

When she was young, Lu Nanting lacked patience and would impatiently pressure her to respond, which ultimately plunged her into a vortex of anxiety.

He doesn't anymore.

"Well, let's go!"

Lu Nanting let go of her hand, closed her eyes, and rubbed against the pillow.

Gu Lanxi hesitated for a few moments, then reached out and quietly patted his head before tiptoeing out.

Lu Nanting smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep again.

Gu Lanxi quickly packed up, told Aunt Wang a few words, and then went downstairs with her bag.

She did have a medical check-up scheduled for today, and she needed to fast before the blood test, so she could only eat breakfast at the medical check-up center.

Today is Saturday, but the diligent bosses will still go to work on time.

Gu Lanxi ran into Du Rusheng from Xiaowei Technology in the elevator. After exchanging greetings, the energetic and capable woman began complaining about what happened last night.

"I worked overtime until midnight, and when I came back I saw a bunch of police officers. What idiots! They've never even seen an antifreeze leak before, and they made such a fuss by calling the police. It gave me a huge fright in the middle of the night, and now the whole internet knows about it. People who don't know any better will think our neighborhood is some kind of dangerous place!"

Last year, Xiaowei Technology encountered financial difficulties, and Gu Lanxi took the opportunity to invest, which saved her life. As a result, the two had a good personal relationship, and Du Rusheng spoke to her without any formality.

Unexpectedly, she heard people talking about this as soon as she stepped outside, and Gu Lanxi's face showed surprise at just the right moment:

"Did something happen in the neighborhood last night? You know I always go to bed early, I had no idea such a thing could happen."

"That influencer who sells products, her name is An'an. She was made an example of for false advertising a while ago and is now desperately trying to clear her name. She found a boyfriend who used to be a paparazzi, and he happened to recognize the license plate number..."

At this point, Du Rusheng gave Gu Lanxi a mysterious look: "Lu Nanting also lives in this building, you know that, right? The car is his."

Gu Lanxi holds shares in many companies, with several holding more than 5%, including Xiaowei Technology, which specializes in trendy small home appliances.

When Gu Lanxi announced her marital status before, she didn't disclose much information about her partner. Du Rusheng originally thought it was just a case of having the same name. However, after Lu Nanting's marriage certificate became a trending topic, she couldn't help but have doubts.

Unfortunately, Gu Lanxi always valued her privacy and didn't like to talk about her private affairs with others. Although the two were familiar with each other, they couldn't be considered close friends.

Since her comments on WeChat Moments were ignored, Du Rusheng was too embarrassed to ask directly via WeChat. Now that she had finally met her, she decided to subtly probe her.

Gu Lanxi is very capable, but if she becomes the youngest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the significance of this shareholder will be completely different for her.

Seeing that she seemed gossipy but was actually quite shrewd, Gu Lanxi smiled gently: "Really? It seems our neighborhood is really popular."

Du Rusheng enjoys sharing her life online, and this luxury house appears frequently in her posts. She is very proud of being a resident of Bihu Tiandi, so she is naturally unhappy that the internet celebrity is smearing the community like this.

Her words were cut off by her soft words. Having witnessed her prowess, Du Rusheng dared not continue to court disaster.

An awkward silence fell over the elevator. Fortunately, the elevator reached the tenth floor, and the owner of Shiwei Restaurant, dressed in Hanfu and touching her temples, walked in with her daughter, Zhong Lingyu.

"Hey, you two, what a coincidence to run into each other today! Good morning!"

Pay attention to details; they will be on the test.

Young Master Lu didn't lock the door when he went to sleep.
