The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 381: Calm Madness

"Yes, I know. You have your reasons for doing things."

He has always disagreed with online comments that he is love-struck.

You're making it sound like he has no brains, haha.

In his view, every decision he made was based on sound reasoning and evidence.

As it turns out, many people were indeed after his wife; it wasn't just his imagination.

Then his actions would be quite justifiable.

Gu Lanxi held the bowl, took a small bite of the glutinous rice lotus root, and looked at him with a smile, standing on his side as always, gentle yet firm.

Even if he spouts nonsense.

Gu Lanxi only found him cute.

Lu Nanting is good at acting cool. He never talks much to people in public, but he is a completely different person in front of her.

For this reason, Gu Lanxi could even understand those toxic fans.

When jealousy burns too intensely, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to control it, and it is not surprising that they might do something extreme.

Lu Nanting felt embarrassed by her gaze and turned to look out the car window, even turning the camera so that Gu Lanxi could see the gate of the residential area ahead.

"I'll be home soon. Talk to Brother Yuan and ask him to give me back my phone. I promise I won't do anything wrong. I need to stay in touch with you to feel at ease."

"Yes, I'll tell him later."

There's a spare phone at home, as well as a tablet and a computer. If he's really determined to cause trouble, he can get up in the middle of the night, register a new account with his ID card, and make it to the top of the trending searches before dawn. Controlling his phone really doesn't make much sense.

Gu Lanxi readily agreed, then said seriously, "It's fine if you want to do whatever you want, I'll support you if you quit the entertainment industry."

Lu Nanting was stunned for a moment, looking at her smiling face through the screen, and felt a strange sense of calm madness.

Looking at Xiao Jiang beside him, and then at the driver and agent in front, Lu Nanting took out his earphones and put them on before asking her in a low voice, "Are you alright now?"

Given Gu Lanxi's personality, she would never say such a thing, knowing that there were more people on his side.

But today, she said it with a nonchalant expression.

Moreover, she would never joke about important matters.

For example, she would never casually use words like "break up," "divorce," or "cheating" to threaten someone, even if the two were arguing fiercely.

Her sudden mention of retiring from the entertainment industry suggests that she has considered this issue.

People only make worst-case plans when they are about to do something big and don't know what the outcome will be.

Lu Nanting's heart was pounding with anxiety. Thinking about the packed schedule he would have to make room for the wedding, he couldn't help but sigh.

At times like this, he wanted to stay by Gu Lanxi's side.

This is not just her problem.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Seeing him put on his headphones and look serious, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She was used to putting on airs, but only Lu Nanting could always spot her subtle thoughts.

This resonance at the soul level always brings her genuine joy.

In front of Gu Lanxi, Lu Nanting was the type to speak his mind; he said whatever was on his mind.

"But you seem a bit unusual."

Seeing his serious expression, Gu Lanxi put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hand, turned slightly to the side, and instead of refuting him, said lazily, "I just figured out some things."

"what's up?"

"I live too respectably and care too much about what others think, which inevitably makes me suffer."

Most people in this world have no independent thought; they are used to echoing others' opinions. Their minds are a playground for other people's thoughts. They say things like "So-and-so said" or "So-and-so is an authority." But if you ask them what they think, they stammer for a long time and can only say, "It's a bit hard to describe."

She, who is clearly an extremely brave and resilient person, hides her true self because she cares about what these people think. "I'm too much of a perfectionist, so I rarely show my true colors. As a result, they don't even know what kind of person I am. That's why they dare to throw abacus beads in my face, trying to live a good life by sucking my blood. Ha!"

As Gu Lanxi spoke, she began to sneer.

Lu Nanting's eyes widened in surprise!

"What are you trying to do? Don't be impulsive!"

"I didn't intend to do anything, I just wanted to send the person behind this to jail. Don't be so sensitive. Okay, now that we're home, get some rest. I've eaten and I'm going to go out and stretch my muscles. I have a meeting at the company tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll come find you as soon as I'm done here."

"No need. If everything goes smoothly, I'll go home on Friday."

"Oh, I'll see in a few days."

After the two finished speaking, Lu Nanting frowned slightly, hung up the phone, and directly instructed the driver to change course to the studio.

"Don't worry, Sister Mei is here. Besides, your presence wouldn't make a difference. You have plans for tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early!"

You should know that Mei Xue used to work for the top hype maker in the entertainment industry. Her specialty is hype and marketing. This matter is not even a real crisis. In front of her, it doesn't even deserve to be on the table.

Seeing that he was still going to argue, Zhang Mingyuan looked at the phone in his hand and calmly reminded him, "The big boss is probably not in a good mood today. What if he video calls to check up on you tonight and finds out you said you were going home, but you're not actually home..."

"I don't go to any shady places."

“If you were also trapped in the studio, I can’t even imagine what she might do.”

Lu Nanting had already noticed that Gu Lanxi was in a bad mood, so he dared not do anything to anger her. He could only sigh inwardly and then go home feeling uneasy.

Fortunately, he joined Gu Lanxi's studio group and could see the studio's work schedule.

Now that he had the phone in his hands and the most impulsive moment of the morning had passed, he didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the phone.

Lu Nanting already knew that Gu Lanxi had hired a legal team to fight the lawsuit. Judging from the progress in the group chat, the chain of evidence had been secured and the materials had been sent to the court. He figured that those lovely ladies would be quite "surprised" to receive the court summons.

It has to be said that professional tasks should be left to professionals. A generous reward will surely attract brave men. Look at this efficiency!
Lu Nanting didn't touch his phone all day. He had accumulated a lot of chat history in various groups and had many unread messages, but he couldn't pay attention to them.

Lu Nanting opened the groups for Gu Lanxi's studio and scrolled up little by little with great patience.

As soon as I entered the house, I took off my coat and handed it to the housekeeper. Just as I was about to change into slippers, I saw that around nine o'clock in the morning, Mei Xue tagged the studio editor in the group chat, asking him to cut the video as quickly as possible.

I logged out of WeChat and checked Weibo. Gu Lanxi's account still only posted the same message from this morning.

I checked all the major platforms again, but still couldn't find the video, so I simply messaged Meixue privately:
When will the video be released?

He didn't ask what the video was about, just when he was going to send it. Mei Xue assumed Gu Lanxi had already told him, and sent the video directly.

[Just about to post it, what do you think of the editing?]

Back home, his phone automatically connected to Wi-Fi, and a video was sent to him in the blink of an eye. Lu Nanting opened it without hesitation.

A moment later, I sent Mei Xue an OK emoji.

When Aunt Xiao asked when dinner would be served, I washed my hands and went to the dining room.

Before starting, I took a picture as usual and sent it to Gu Lanxi.

Before closing the chat window, I couldn't resist sending a meme of someone cupping my face and kissing me passionately, along with a voice message: "Wife, you're amazing!!"

This meme was made from a short video they recorded together. They usually only send it to each other in private. Gu Lanxi is fine with it, but Lu Nanting can't express his feelings unless he sends it several times a day.

Every time Gu Lanxi received this, she couldn't help but complain, as if he had spit on her face from afar.

Unfortunately, she was practicing her boxing at the moment and didn't see the message at all.

I've replied to comments recently, but you probably won't see it; there hasn't been a large-scale deletion of comments.

I can see some of the messages you leave me, but not others. I can't explain why.

It will be fine after few days.

Registration for the lottery starts tomorrow. Wish me luck!
