The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 58 can be summed up in one word: Absolutely brilliant!

The wind was still hot at night, but less scorching than during the day, and it felt alright.

Knowing that her cousin wanted to whisper something to her, Gu Lanxi was surprised to be dragged onto the balcony.

Houses in northern cities rarely have open balconies, but Bihu Tiandi is located next to a park with a lake, offering excellent views. It was built during a period of policy liberalization, so it was designed with large, wraparound viewing balconies.

Gu Lanxi planted many flowers on her balcony and also grew a few cute tomato plants.

These past few days, Lu Nanting has been hiding from paparazzi, keeping the curtains drawn at home every day, and Gu Lanxi hasn't even been to the balcony.

As you open the sliding door, you see piles of bright red tomatoes hanging on the vines.

Gu Lanxi picked up the scissors and basket from the shelf, cut off all the ripe ones, washed them at the sink, and then led Gu Jiayi to sit at the dining table.

"Staying in an air-conditioned room all day makes me feel cold to the bone. Coming out and feeling the warm air is more effective than drinking Chinese medicine."

Gu Jiayi sat down with a comfortable "Ah~".

Even during her most difficult times, Gu Lanxi never neglected herself and always insisted on exercising. Despite her thin frame, she was all muscle and as strong as a young ox. You really couldn't understand what it meant to be cold to the bone.

But since her cousin liked it, she wouldn't be a spoilsport.

The two sisters sat down. Gu Jiayi looked around the room, saw that Lu Nanting was far away, glanced at her stomach, and then asked her softly:
"You two got married voluntarily, right?"

After calming down, Gu Jiayi, a seasoned player in the dating scene, finally understood.

She and her sister have such a good relationship, and her sister has often come to visit her in the past two years. If her sister had been dating Lu Nanting, she couldn't possibly not have found out.

That means they broke up in the middle.

They dated, broke up, and then suddenly got married.

Given the rumors circulating online about a shotgun wedding, Gu Jiayi couldn't help but overthink things.

Seeing her staring at her belly, Gu Lanxi blushed and scolded, "Sister, what are you thinking? I'm going to join a film crew to shoot action scenes in a couple of days. Do you think I would joke about the baby?"

Moreover, even if she gets pregnant, she can raise the child herself if she wants to; she would never marry for the sake of the child.

Although she was forced into it at first, it's undeniable that she genuinely likes Lu Nanting, a liking that has lasted for many years.

At first, it might just be a moment of impulse, but if you want to stay together for a long time, it's naturally because of feelings.

Gu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Dating is fine, marriage is fine too, but if you want to have children, you must be fully prepared."

At the very least, we should give our children a happy home.

Neither of the sisters had a happy family background, and Gu Lanxi understood their thoughts because she felt the same way.

"Don't worry, sis, I know what I'm doing."

They each ate two cherry tomatoes and then stopped eating.

"How can I find someone in the industry? We're both so busy, we rarely see each other, sigh!"

Since it wasn't forced but rather voluntary, she must have hoped that her sister's marriage would be long-lasting and smooth.

But she had been in a long-distance relationship before and knew that being apart so often wasn't a good thing, so she couldn't help but worry.

Gu Lanxi and Lu Nanting had just discussed this issue.

"I can only try to overcome it! Even if I were with someone else all the time, it just wouldn't feel right."

Gu Jiayi's mother is from Xinjiang. She looks like her mother, with double eyelids, big eyes, long eyelashes, naturally red lips, and black, shiny hair like ebony. She is tall and has long legs, making her a stunning beauty.

But her parents had a very bad relationship.

Because her father didn't have a son, he was always tempted to have an illegitimate child a few years ago. Her mother was very ruthless and almost sent her father to the palace with a single snip of scissors.

He was cured in one go, but the couple's relationship could never be the same again.

Her mother turned into a villain, no longer caring about men, focusing only on her daughter, raising her to be extremely outstanding, and directly placing her in the company after graduation, providing her with all sorts of support.

Gu Jiayi herself lived up to expectations and did a great job.

The mother and daughter were successful in their careers, but their relationships were not going well.

Gu Jiayi has seen all sorts of crazy things, so it's normal to worry about her.

Hearing Gu Lanxi say that she was trying to overcome it, she knew that all people in love are like that, they won't give up until they're completely in love. She was sensible and didn't say anything nonsense that would make her unhappy.

"Your new movie is about to start filming, right? When are you joining the crew?"

"My flight is on Friday morning. When I get there, I have to transfer to a high-speed train and a bus. For the last leg, I think I have to take a tractor."

"You're really going all out. You only take on acting roles and don't do endorsements. How much money can you make? It's really not worth all that hard work."

Speaking of this, Gu Lanxi laughed and said, "That's different. Everyone needs something they like to do." Gu Jiayi nodded in agreement.

Like her, even though her mind is perfectly clear, she still longs for the sweetness of love.

If anyone were to tell her that couples always make up after a fight, and that life is bound to have its ups and downs, and that she should just make do, get married first, and that life is short and she could just bear it, she would definitely turn on them in a heartbeat.

If you enjoy the feeling of being in love, then keep dating!
Let's talk about what we're tired of, and then talk about what we're tired of.

Manman had a tough childhood, but now that she has achieved financial freedom, what's wrong with doing what she likes?
As for the hardship of filming?

When she falls out with someone, doesn't she also have to endure the pain of being beaten and threatened with knives?
All I can say is that we're all adults, and as long as we can take responsibility for our own choices, we don't care what others say!
There's a reason why the two get along so well.

They are both very considerate and have a strong sense of boundaries, yet they share a similar domineering nature and are very empathetic towards each other's thoughts.

As the two were talking, they soon heard Lu Nanting calling them from inside the house:
"Dinner's ready! Jiayi, come and try it, how's it?"

Gu Jiayi immediately stood up.

She was very curious about Lu Nanting's cooking skills.

Not only was she curious, but Gu Lanxi was too.

What other surprises can someone who can sprinkle scallions into a slow-cooked soup create for her?
"So fast? What did you do?"

Gu Jiayi didn't stand on ceremony. She went inside and approached the dining table, looking around curiously.

Inside the large stainless steel bowl, there were red, yellow, and green colors, which looked quite beautiful.

"I made a shrimp and vegetable salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, endive, lettuce, and corn kernels. I used vinaigrette dressing because I didn't know your preferences and was worried you might have an allergic reaction. I put the eggs and shrimp on a separate plate."

This is also suitable to eat late at night.

It's decent but not bad, its strength lies in its dedication.

So Gu Jiayi's words were full of gratitude: "Thank you, I can eat anything."

Lu Nanting immediately poured the egg, cut into four pieces, and the peeled boiled shrimp from the plate into the dish.

He skillfully mixed the ingredients with tongs before pushing it in front of her.

Gu Jiayi sat down and saw that besides this, there was a clean small bowl, a pair of chopsticks placed to the side, and a cup of boiled water.

"Lemonade, no sugar added, lemon seeds removed, not bitter."

Gu Jiayi nodded: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"Okay, you eat first. I have some things to do. I'll go to the bedroom first."

Honestly, if it weren't for wanting to see what her brother-in-law was like, she probably would have left long ago and would never have stayed to be a third wheel.

But she knew how hard it was for her younger sister to fall in love, and since Gu Lanxi's family didn't have any reliable elders, Gu Jiayi couldn't help but worry that her sister might not be good at judging people, so she stubbornly stayed.

However, since the two were not familiar with each other, they were still somewhat uncomfortable around each other.

Lu Nanting voluntarily made room for her, and she actually felt quite good about it.

"Thank you, thank you. It's been a long time since I've seen Manman, and I have so much to say to her."

Most importantly, she still had the barbecue in her stomach and couldn't finish it, so she needed to ask Gu Lanxi for help.

Lu Nanting guessed that she was probably going to talk about her ex-boyfriend, which was not a good place to listen, so he quickly strode back to the second bedroom.

First, turn the air conditioner up to maximum ventilation, then quickly move his things into the master bedroom next door.

After Gu Jiayi finished eating, she wandered around the house and passed by the second bedroom, where she saw Lu Nanting skillfully shaking out the quilt and making the bed.

Little did she know, this guy had just learned how to do this, and she only thought he was virtuous, so her affection for him immediately soared!

“It’s so late, and we’re all family, there’s no reason for us to stay out. They’re all new, we just washed them once and left them there. If Jiayi doesn’t like them, there are more in the storage room, I’ll get you another set!”

Seeing Gu Jiayi standing at the door, seemingly casually glancing at him, Lu Nanting smiled with exceptional sincerity.

Xiao Lu is very good at judging people by their appearance!

As for my scumbag father, I hate him for being so useless, which prevented us from taking a shortcut to a marriage alliance.

Towards my close cousins, we're all family. Haha.

Seizing the opportunity, they immediately moved to a different location; it's quite funny to think about.

To keep my cousin occupied, I even made her a big bowl of salad late at night.
