The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 5 Shut up, shut up, shut up
There were so many materials that Gu Lanxi was carrying a black suitcase when she went downstairs.

Lu Nanting had been waiting in the garage for half an hour. When he saw her come down, he immediately came over to help her carry her suitcase.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Gu Lanxi carefully styled her hair, wore a white shirt, a linen gray pencil skirt, and silver gray stilettos. She also put on a festive makeup look. With a slight smile, it was as if the whole world lit up, as if the marriage was not forced but voluntary.

Seeing him approach, she didn't stand on ceremony and handed him the suitcase directly.

"I ate, what about you?"

Lu Nanting couldn't help but smile as he looked at her.

She's always been like that.

They either don't agree, or if they do, they'll do it flawlessly.

Judging from her attire, she's taking today's marriage registration seriously.

This made Lu Nanting feel genuinely happy.

He was dressed very formally today.

That's why they have such compatible tastes!
Even though they hadn't discussed it beforehand, and both of them had tons of clothes, he wore a white shirt with linen gray trousers.

His hair was styled, and he even had a makeup artist come early in the morning to do his light makeup.

The two of them standing together look like they're wearing matching outfits. Everyone would say they're a perfect couple.
Gu Lanxi clearly noticed this as well, and feeling rather embarrassed, she quickly took a few steps and opened the car door.

“Your car is easy to be photographed. Take mine instead. I just bought it a couple of months ago, and the paparazzi don’t know it well.”

Today is a private day for the two of them.

They sneaked out to get their marriage certificate without bringing bodyguards or assistants, so they had to make proper arrangements.

Lu Nanting agreed to her arrangement and took the suitcase directly to the back seat.

After leaving the residential area, I headed straight for the notary office.

Aside from acting in movies, Gu Lanxi doesn't accept endorsements or attend events. When she first debuted, paparazzi staked out her for two years and found her life incredibly boring. When she finally went out to have dinner with someone, it was always someone they dared not photograph. Now, most entertainment reporters with a bit of ambition don't follow her story anymore.

Lu Nanting is different. When he goes out to do events, if he doesn't check carefully, he might find a stalker fan hiding in the hotel closet.

The two sneaked out of the residential area without being noticed, and both couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Nanting had already pulled some strings, so when he arrived at the notary office, he didn't have to wait in line and went straight to the office.

There were already people waiting in the office, and with all the materials prepared, the prenuptial property notarization was completed quickly.

Given their relationship, it would actually be quite embarrassing for the other person to see a list of their assets.

But it is necessary to do so.

This can avoid the troubles of divorce, and when living together, you can also have a basic understanding of each other's spending habits.

Lu Nanting's assets are structured in a very old-fashioned way.

Besides various fixed-income funds, the most common investments are real estate, cars, jewelry, and various antiques and works of art. These investments are also handled by specialists.

Gu Lanxi's assets consist mainly of various equity stakes.

She doesn't like collecting cars. Apart from the BMW her nanny drives, she only owns a Maybach and a Porsche. She hasn't even bought a motorhome, which is a must-have for female celebrities.

The license plate number wasn't anything special.

Unlike some bosses who casually rack up eight or six in a row.

She doesn't have a strong desire to spend money.

I only buy jewelry that is essential for various occasions and rarely collect it; I don't pursue big brands for my personal clothes, but instead have them custom-made by a familiar studio; and I own very few properties, only the one I currently live in.

They look like newly rich people who have become wealthy in a short period of time.

However, she is associated with more than thirty companies, all of which are thriving, including several listed companies. Strictly speaking, her net worth is much higher than Lu Nanting's.

Accumulating wealth takes time, and how to reduce risks and ensure lasting prosperity for future generations is an even greater challenge.

Gu Lanxi will not turn 22 for another two months, so she has plenty of time to try new things and is not afraid of making mistakes.

The two went downstairs, and Gu Lanxi drove again.

Lu Nanting hid in the back row, sighing, "Sigh, I'm about to marry into a wealthy family, and I'm feeling a little uneasy."

His mother always told him that Gu Lanxi had an extremely accurate eye for investment, making money no matter what she invested in, but he never expected the truth to be far beyond his imagination.

Gu Lanxi drove off, a slight smile playing on her lips as he amused her.

That's just how he is. In front of strangers, he's a cold and aloof guy who doesn't like to talk, but in front of people he cares about, he can provide a lot of emotional support.

He's handsome, from a good family, of good character, and morally upright. The key thing is that he's talkative and never plays guessing games with Gu Lanxi.

Who wouldn't like someone like that?
Especially for someone like Gu Lanxi, who doesn't like to talk but has a lot on her mind, even if her heart is as still as water, she still can't help but be moved by this straightforward star.

It's obvious that if he hadn't been so kind, given Gu Lanxi's personality, she would never have agreed to his pursuit back then, and now she's gone along with his wishes and agreed to marry him.

Despite her many concerns about the future, Gu Lanxi never regretted her decision when preparing to get her marriage certificate.

She was no longer the penniless orphan who spent her days working odd jobs. Standing before Lu Nanting, she no longer felt ashamed of herself.

"Then I'll try my best to avoid going bankrupt."

Gu Lanxi responded with a smile.

Lu Nanting immediately perked up: "Good love requires mutual effort. You've put in so much effort, I'd feel bad if I didn't look beautiful. I'll go to the beauty salon for a facelift later!"

"Don't talk to the driver! If you don't want to get into a car accident, shut up right now!"

Gu Lanxi laughed so hard her whole body was shaking, and she immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road.

This guy has that ability; if he wants to, even the quietest person will become lively when they're with him.

"Your fans are always yelling, 'Brother, go all out, we can't take it!' They should really see what you're really like. They'll unfollow you in a heartbeat and kick you to the curb to become a comedian."

The car stopped, and Gu Lanxi was quite annoyed.

"How can a man treat his domestic life and his public life the same? You're obviously a novice who's never been married before. Unlike me, I've already dreamed of marrying you eight hundred times."

He's a very serious person, but he becomes a completely different person when he's around her.

Gu Lanxi hadn't been alone with him for a long time, and she couldn't take it for a moment. Her face flushed, and she began to scold him:
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

"Then call me 'brother' again, and let me hear if it sounds sweet."

Gu Lanxi opened the car door, climbed into the back seat, and pushed him hard.

"Shut your dog mouth! I'm telling you! I'm not afraid of trending on social media anymore, you go ahead and drive! I promise I won't bother you!"

He was completely silent and incredibly deep when he left home, but after finishing the notarization, he was all smiles like a complete idiot.

It seems that only now do I truly feel the need to get a marriage certificate.

Lu Nanting was obedient and went to the front. Before leaving, he didn't forget to fasten her seatbelt.

This person finally behaved himself.

The two arrived at the law firm building without incident. Before they could even go upstairs, a lawyer who had been working with Gu Lanxi for a long time was already waiting there.

The lawyer's name was Liang Shizhao. He was also from Guangdong and took good care of Gu Lanxi. The two had a very good personal relationship.

He went downstairs specifically to greet her, also because he considered that she and Lu Nanting were both public figures and it was inconvenient for them to linger downstairs.

Seeing this, Gu Lanxi quickly went up to him and shook hands with him in a generous manner:
"Uncle Zhao, I'm bothering you again!"

The two had already discussed what they would be doing today over the phone, and it wasn't convenient to talk about it outside, so Liang Shizhao led them directly to the elevator leading to the VIP room.

"I wish you would come every day and introduce more business to me, so that my business will prosper, hahaha!"

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Liang Shizhao greeted them warmly and ushered them into the house, inviting them to sit down. Before discussing business, he skillfully began to brew tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down and chatted for a while until the tea was ready.

Guests are welcome; tea is served to them.

Liang Shizhao held the teacup with both hands and politely placed it in front of the two of them.

The two men clenched their right fists and tapped the table three times with their knuckles, performing the proper etiquette, before picking up their teacups and taking small sips.

After drinking half a cup of tea, they finally got down to business.

The terms of the agreement between the two had already been agreed upon. They came to find a lawyer simply to have him review it in case some clauses were not rigorous enough or conflicted with current laws and regulations. In fact, the workload was not large and did not require much time.

After successfully signing the agreement, and seeing that it was already midnight, Liang Shizhao treated the soon-to-be-married couple to a simple meal at the Cantonese restaurant downstairs.

Liang Shizhao was almost fifty years old, and he treated Gu Lanxi like his own nephew. Looking at Lu Nanting's attentive manner, when he invited her to dinner, he naturally catered to Gu Lanxi's tastes.

"A Cantonese restaurant opened downstairs, and it's really authentic. The three of us ordered a poached chicken, a genuine free-range chicken from Qingyuan, with crisp skin and tender meat, and it tasted great! The slow-cooked soup was also excellent. With the hot weather lately, we made a duck, barley, and winter melon soup to cool us down and detoxify us. You'll love it! We also ordered a stir-fried bok choy with black bean dace. That's enough for the three of us!"

"Uncle Zhao made such thoughtful arrangements, thank you so much!"

Previously, when Liang Shizhao saw that Lu Nanting was not speaking, he thought that Lu Nanting did not understand Cantonese.

Later, after hearing Gu Lanxi's explanation, I learned that his mother was also from Guangdong, and his maternal family ran many well-known seafood restaurants frequented by locals. He was just quiet because he was not talkative, so I stopped worrying about him and focused on entertaining my own important clients.

A meal was enjoyed by both host and guest.

After the meal, Liang Shizhao didn't keep them. He escorted them downstairs and didn't return until the car was out of sight.

I asked Bread Mom to be my translator, and she totally blows translation software out of the water, hehe.

I've bought many books to study various aspects of daily life, but I still can't achieve perfection. However, I will try my best.

This time, I'm trying to create a genuine Cantonese girl, and I'm striving to make the writing more delicate and vivid.

This can be considered a breakthrough for me.

If there's anything I wrote incorrectly, please leave a comment and let me know. I'm very obedient and will revise it quickly.

Recommendations, comments, book lists, and all sorts of social media reposts and promotions—you can definitely do it!
Please, please!
