The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 38 The Demeanor of the Empress

"Good morning!"

Gu Lanxi wasn't one to gossip, so she greeted them politely and then stood in the corner without saying a word.

Du Rusheng, on the other hand, was quite talkative and quickly started chatting with Mrs. Zhong.

"You two are dressed so nicely today, where are you going?"

"Hehe, let's go for a night tour of the Great Wall and see the stars."

"Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned going out so early?"

"Let's go shopping first. The gold hairpin I ordered a while ago was ordered yesterday. They called yesterday to say it's been made, and we're going to try it on."

The mother and daughter on the tenth floor are Hanfu enthusiasts who enjoy participating in various activities that promote traditional culture. Gu Lanxi had a very good impression of them, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but ask:

"I wonder which company placed the order? If it's good, I would appreciate it if Mrs. Zhong could act as a go-between."

She wanted to make some gold jewelry.

She had seen many weddings in her clan, and each one was a grand affair. What she remembered most clearly was the dazzling gold.

She didn't care about the extravagance; she wanted to own those pieces of jewelry because they carried beautiful meanings, even if she didn't like wearing them.

I wonder how different the styles that are popular in the north are from those in my hometown?
She got married out of nowhere.

Originally, I just wanted to get rid of the trouble, but now I want to take it seriously.

It's a bit pitiful to think about someone secretly saving up for their dowry, with no elders to help them manage it and no close friends to offer advice.

But she was never one to wallow in self-pity.

How many people in the world are in worse circumstances than her, yet they still live happily?

At least she is capable enough to carry what she wants into her nest little by little, like a squirrel storing food for winter.

Gu Lanxi is gentle to everyone, but she is definitely the most unapproachable person in the entire building.

When she heard Gu Lanxi ask for the jewelry store's contact information, Mrs. Zhong was quite surprised, but she reacted quickly and immediately took out her phone to add Gu Lanxi on WeChat.

"This gold shop specializes in traditional jewelry. I'll give you the owner's business card. You can tell him what you want to order. The owner isn't very talkative, but his craftsmanship is impeccable."

Gu Lanxi nodded gently and thanked her with a smile.

Mrs. Zhong's parking space was on the basement level. When the elevator arrived, she took her daughter down first, leaving only her and Du Rusheng in the elevator.

Fortunately, we were almost at the second basement level.

The elevator doors opened, and Gu Lanxi tossed out a "See you later" before heading to her car. Just then, she saw a man wearing a fisherman's hat yawning, carrying a fishing gear bag, and dragging a wheeled box as he walked over.

Upon seeing Gu Lanxi, they would rush over like huskies seeing a bone.

The box was probably filled with a lot of things, making a loud, frightening rumbling noise.

However, it was Wu Feng who lived on the eighth floor.

The Wu family has been deeply involved in the outdoor products industry for three generations. Wu Feng, the second son of the current head of the family, founded a fishing tackle brand called "Shenwei" because of his love for fishing, and he is doing quite well.

He's quite handsome, sunny, cheerful, and strong, but he likes to go fishing everywhere, so his skin is very tanned. When he's with Gu Lanxi, it's like chocolate meeting cotton candy.

Gu Lanxi had only been living there for a short time when she met him downstairs. From then on, Wu Feng began to pursue her intensely.

However, Gu Lanxi is not one to drag things out when it comes to relationships. Knowing that he wasn't her type, she simply rejected him.

After being rejected, Wu Feng stopped bothering her, but every time he saw her, he would still come over to say hello happily. Gu Lanxi couldn't just give her neighbor a hard time for no reason.

After all, there aren't many residents in the community, so as long as the community doesn't go bankrupt, we might see each other for many years.

"Where did you go fishing all night?"

Wu Feng was a very warm-hearted person, and he genuinely liked her. He couldn't help but smile, revealing his bright white teeth, after hearing her ask just that one question:

"It's too hot during the day to go out at all. Last night I went to Roma Lake with some friends to fish, camp, and have a picnic. Look, we had a great catch last night—small crucian carp the size of my palm. We kept it oxygenated, and they're all still alive! They make a really delicious soup. I'll bring you some later."

Gu Lanxi quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No need, thank you. I have a medical check-up scheduled later, so I might not be home for dinner today."

Fishermen have more fish than they can eat. Some people catch fish but are too lazy to take them home, so they just release them. Others like to bring them home and give them to friends and family. Otherwise, they process them and put them in the refrigerator.

Gu Lanxi likes crucian carp and tofu soup, but she won't accept crucian carp as a gift from others.

Especially since he was someone who had pursued her and been rejected by her.

"Oh, so you're still hungry? I won't take up any more of your time, see you later!"

After saying that, Wu Feng grabbed the suitcase and ran away.

Gu Lanxi smiled, found her car, and quickly went to the private hospital she had arranged to visit.

Little did he know that in order to successfully deliver a few small crucian carp to her, Wu Feng once again delivered fish to all the neighbors in the building.

However, while other families had their nannies deliver the gifts, Gu Lanxi's family was the only one where he personally went to deliver them.

Gu Lanxi didn't dislike these wild crucian carp; she just didn't like them for the time being.

He plans to create more opportunities to meet, so that people can get to know him better and their opinions will change.

Gu Lanxi had just finished her physical examination and left the hospital when she received a call from Fei Yunxiao, who said that the studio had encountered some problems that couldn't be solved, so she had to find a restaurant to have a quick meal and then go to the studio instead.

Lu Nanting had a good sleep. When he woke up, he learned that Gu Lanxi had something to do and wouldn't be coming back for lunch. He felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was the norm for the two of them.

After eating the lunch that Aunt Wang had specially prepared for him, he rested for a while and then went into the gym with a guilty conscience.

Just as I was sweating profusely, I heard Aunt Wang talking to someone.

It was a young man, seemingly there to deliver something.
Lu Nanting was never a coward. He grabbed a towel, wiped his sweat, and left the gym.

"Aunt Wang, who's here?"

Aunt Wang has been taking care of female artists since she entered the industry, and Gu Lanxi is the third actress to receive the Best Actress award. Her experience is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Hearing Lu Nanting's lazy question, she remained outwardly calm and replied, "It's our downstairs neighbor, they came to deliver some wild crucian carp they just caught," while inwardly screaming, "Destroy it! What kind of hellish scene is this?!"

Before Gu Lanxi moved here, Aunt Wang was already taking care of her. She understood better than her employer that Wu Feng had pursued her, and although he was rejected, he hadn't given up.

Gu Lanxi is very busy and is often away from home. When she is not on set, Aunt Wang is at home every day. There are many things that Gu Lanxi does not know, but Aunt Wang does.

Because she goes downstairs for a walk every day, she inevitably runs into other nannies.

Although she kept her mouth shut, she couldn't resist the loose tongues of other nannies.

Therefore, she knew that among all the fish in the building, only the fish on the eighteenth floor were personally delivered by Wu Feng.

Just to create opportunities to see Gu Lanxi more often.

They give you sea fish when you go sea fishing, wild river fish when you go wild fishing, and they never forget Gu Lanxi when they catch a bag of river shrimp.

Since they are given to the entire building each time, refusing them would offend people.

Gu Lanxi would accept the gift first, just like her neighbors, and then find an opportunity to reciprocate.

Aunt Wang was heartbroken.

Everything else about this line of work is great, except that it inevitably torments the soul.

I know too much to say.

All three employers in history were exceptionally beautiful, with countless suitors. Aunt Wang probably knew more about their various methods of pursuit than even the authors of romance novels.

But this was the first time she had met someone as sincere and down-to-earth as Wu Feng.

Lu Nanting smelled the scent of his rival, threw away the towel, and walked out in slippers. He naturally lifted the hem of his shirt to wipe his sweat, perfectly revealing his beautiful abs.

And there's her sparkling wedding ring on her hand.

When it comes to showing off, even a hundred fishermen stacked together couldn't match the steady and reliable top star of mainland China.

The same action can look greasy and sloppy on some people, but youthful and energetic on others.

"Oh? Hello, please come in and have a seat!"

Lu Nanting lowered his coat, displaying the air of a host, and reached out to take the small bucket from Wu Feng's hand.

"Oh, these little fish are so lively! You're so thoughtful!"

Lu Nanting was a hand taller than him. He lowered his head slightly, smiled gently, and with his red lips, white teeth, and long eyelashes, he looked very generous and not at all effeminate.

The woman he had been searching for online for two days turned out to be the goddess he had admired for many years.

If Lu Nanting were just an ordinary singer, that would be one thing, but he is also the most beloved youngest son of the Lu family's direct line.

Wu Feng's heart was shattered into eight pieces, but he still had to force himself to maintain social etiquette. The torment in his heart was indescribable. He left the 18th floor after saying only a few words.

He didn't go home afterwards, but drove straight to a bar.

He will probably never forget the feeling of losing the moment he steps onto the field.

Rival in Love - 1
I made an appointment with the Luoyang Museum to take Er Mao there.

On the second floor, in the treasure hall, I was filled with anticipation. Just as I reached the entrance, Er Mao hugged my leg, wanting to go back to Chengdu. Er Ye was homesick.

I said, "Mom might only be able to come here once in her life. Let me see it once, even if it's just a quick look, I don't need to look at it carefully."

No, I'm going home.

Once outside the museum, I immediately perked up, stood on the steps, pointed across the street, and said, "Mom, I want to go there!"

Okay, let's go then. It's just across the street, not across the Milky Way. My mother can accept it.

However, right across the street is the Luoyang Sui and Tang Dynasty Relics Botanical Garden, with peonies covering the ground, completely bare.

There were even streets inside, it was huge, with a main road leading straight ahead all the time, I couldn't find my way without a map.

Fortunately, there were many white geese in the pond, allowing him to directly experience what it meant to have red webbed feet paddling through clear water. He probably remembered the poem even more firmly then.

I wanted to bring him out to broaden his horizons.

As a result, he broadened my horizons a lot.

It turns out that three-year-olds and thirty-year-olds are not suitable travel companions.

Also, when ordering noodles in Henan, be sure to order a small portion.

The more I ate, the more I seemed to eat, as if noodles were overflowing from the bottom of the bowl. I ate until I cried, but I still couldn't finish it all, and I was afraid the owner would come over and ask me if it wasn't good.

After finishing the meal, I apologized profusely, saying it wasn't the noodles that were bad, it was my own fault...

The bowl is so big, and there's so much noodles...

I want to go home too.

My friend's computer is unfamiliar to me, so he types very slowly and chooses words and phrases that are not usually my preferred ones.

Staying at home is always good, but going out is always difficult.

Sigh.
