Having overheard the host's private conversation in the garden, the two couldn't contain their gossip during the meal, their eyes constantly searching the scene, trying to see what the little boy looked like.

Perhaps the birthday man's threat had an effect. The man, who had planned to take advantage of his father's birthday to formally marry the child, suppressed his impulse. The two did not see the child until they returned home, and the lady of the house never lost her polite smile.

On her way home, Gu Lanxi was a little silent.

Since the amendment of the Marriage Law, illegitimate children can enjoy the same inheritance rights as legitimate children. In order to prevent family discord, shrewd elders will place core real estate into an irrevocable family trust and designate their legitimate legitimate children to inherit it.

In the case of family-arranged marriages, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are discussed repeatedly by a legal team, and finally a thick book is signed.

Some people even start making a will at a very young age.

This ensures that even if one's partner cannot control their sexual desires and has illegitimate children, the rights of the biological children will not be harmed.

It's a classic case of "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure," it all depends on whether you're clear-headed enough and whether you can see things clearly...

"What are you thinking about? You're not even responding when I talk to you."

As dusk settled, Lu Nanting drove through the dimly lit, cool autumn breeze.

While at a traffic light, I turned to her and asked about her recent plans.

But Gu Lanxi was preoccupied with these matters and didn't listen at all, so she didn't react.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Seeing that she seemed to have just woken up from a dream, Lu Nanting assumed that she was just tired from dealing with today's occasion and didn't want to tire her out, so he stopped talking and said, "It's okay, don't fall asleep, we'll be home soon."

"Ah."

Gu Lanxi remained silent.

It wasn't until they got home that Gu Lanxi went to the home theater to analyze films and ponder the choice of new movies. Lu Nanting went to the kitchen to cut a plate of fruit and brought it downstairs before he had time to ask about the journey:

Did someone upset you?

Gu Lanxi ate an orange, her cheeks puffed out, her eyes darting around, refusing to look at him.

"What happened? Can't you even tell me?"

Gu Lanxi ate slowly, wiped her mouth after finishing, and then looked up at him: "I think, just to be on the safe side, we should also sign a post-nuptial agreement to regulate the issue of illegitimate children."

Instead of firmly believing that love can last until old age, it's better to take precautions and live a stable life.

Lu Nanting was taken aback, realizing that she was affected by what happened today, and he felt both annoyed and amused.

But he wasn't swayed by his emotions; instead, he thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

A sense of security is mutual; it's not about restricting one person, so there's nothing to be upset about.

When they first got married, Gu Lanxi didn't plan to stay with him forever. She signed a prenuptial agreement before getting the marriage certificate. Later, after she made up her mind to really get married, she went to cancel the prenuptial agreement.

Lu Nanting handed over control of the finances to give her a sense of security, and signing the post-nuptial agreement on this matter was also to give her a sense of security.

Seeing that he readily agreed, Gu Lanxi slept soundly. The next morning, instead of going to the studio, she took Lu Nanting directly to the law firm.

Liang Shizhao was exceptionally skilled at drafting such agreements for wealthy people. Upon arrival, he simply served them tea and didn't ask them a single question, quickly getting the matter settled.

I had a meal of poached chicken with Liang Shizhao at noon. In the afternoon, Gu Lanxi had an appointment to meet with the famous director Tang Jiarong and his screenwriter Shen Yanbin.

Since the two parties had never dealt with each other before, Tang Jiarong specifically asked his friend Tong Guangquan to act as an intermediary.

Tong Guangquan is a very experienced production manager in the industry. The two first met because he was in charge of the logistics for "Testing the Waters".

At that time, Gu Lanxi had just entered the industry and knew nothing. Tong Guangquan took great care of her and was polite and never noisy. That's when the two met.

When they filmed "Lurking," the movie that successfully propelled Gu Lanxi to the ranks of billion-dollar actresses and brought her another Best Actress award, their relationship became even closer. Tang Jiarong only wanted to meet with her to discuss his new film. Gu Lanxi had just finished filming her previous movie, and although she wasn't in a hurry to join another project, she had been carefully selecting scripts recently.

Since she had gone to great lengths to ask Tong Guangquan for help, and the script was a suspenseful thriller that she had never acted in before but really liked, she naturally had to meet him.

As for Lu Nanting, he also had an appointment with someone.

After the world tour ended, a street dance variety show that was in the planning stages invited him to be a mentor.

Many of those invited were his friends in the industry.

He was a little unsure about this project and planned to meet with a friend to discuss their thoughts.

He had arranged to meet someone at a highly confidential private sports club. Gu Lanxi drove the car to the entrance, and Lu Nanting got out with his sports bag.

"If we have a party tonight, everyone will be drinking, and you can have a little too, but you can't smoke. If I finish early, I'll drive over to pick you up."

Gu Lanxi doesn't like using drivers and bodyguards, and Lu Nanting wouldn't bring a group of people along on his private trips, especially in crowded places.

After receiving the instructions, Lu Nanting smiled and nodded, then put on his hat and mask and went downstairs.

He doesn't smoke anyway.

But he never blamed Gu Lanxi for talking too much.

I wish I could stand there and let her talk for half an hour straight.

Seeing him suddenly start spinning around and jumping while walking, looking very happy, Gu Lanxi didn't want to spoil his fun and didn't bother him for the entire afternoon.

Just past lunchtime, Gu Lanxi arranged to meet Tang Jiarong and the other two at a teahouse. When she arrived, the tea had already been brewed for the second time, indicating that she had been there for quite some time.

Upon seeing her arrive, the group stood up and shook her hand politely, addressing her as "Teacher Gu."

Gu Lanxi felt very embarrassed and bowed repeatedly, saying all sorts of humble things before sitting down with a smile.

"I heard that Miss Gu is a connoisseur of tea, so I brought a cake of fine tea today and would like you to try it."

Tong Guangquan was an acquaintance; he was just there to make the introductions. Once they got to know each other, he made an excuse to leave.

Tang Jiarong was very sociable. Even though it was their first meeting, Gu Lanxi didn't feel awkward. After she sat down, he offered to brew her another pot of tea.

Putting aside her family background, Gu Lanxi is young and inexperienced, and has always been a gentle person. How could she put on airs in this kind of situation?

Since they needed to discuss the script, it wasn't appropriate to let the waiter in, so Gu Lanxi generously put down her bag and took the tea set herself.

"I wouldn't presume to call myself an expert, but I have so much work and so many things to do that I sometimes feel irritable. Drinking tea helps me calm down. Since you brought tea, it's only right that I, a junior, do the tea-making. It would also be good for you two to see how good my tea skills are."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two switched places. Tang Jiarong was even more satisfied with her and, without wasting any time, directly asked Shen Yanbin to bring out the script.

"The most important thing for a good movie is to have a good script. I won't talk nonsense about anything else. Take a look at this script, get a feel for it first. If you think it's okay, we can tell you more about it in detail. If you're not interested, just consider it getting to know each other and becoming friends."

Shen Yanbin was clearly a cultured man, with round glasses, fluffy hair, and a comfortable, relaxed appearance. He seemed a little awkward around people and was obviously not good at speaking.

Upon hearing Tang Jiarong mention the script, he immediately opened his briefcase, pulled out a bound script, and handed it to her with a smile.

Seeing that she was still making tea, he awkwardly put it back.

The two are quite different, one active and the other quiet, one extroverted and the other introverted, but both have a genuine personality.

Gu Lanxi made her judgment, and her movements remained unhurried.

Only after a pot of tea was brewed and divided into three cups did he extend both hands and respectfully accept the script.

At first glance, the cover prominently displays the two characters: "The Tenant." (End of Chapter)
