The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 65 elaborates on this.
At that time, her psychological problems were initially resolved, and she made her first profit by exploiting the chain coffee shops, achieving financial freedom. Finally, she mustered up the courage to try to win him back, only to find that he had someone else by his side.

Although I soon realized it was just a misunderstanding, I finally let it go and never had such thoughts again in the next year or two.

She felt that it was shameless of her to ask to get back together with someone she had initiated the breakup.

Lu Nanting nearly lost his balance: "What? How is that possible?!"

Lu Nanting considered himself to have excellent conduct and never flirted with other girls, so he was completely stunned when he suddenly learned about this!

That's outrageous, isn't it?!

When you bring up old grievances with someone like Gu Lanxi, you can't question whether she's remembered correctly, because she'll tell you in detail—

"On Christmas Eve two years ago, at the corner of the Moulin Rouge bakery on Chang'an Avenue, by that crooked old locust tree, you were wearing a navy blue long coat, over a white shirt and a mustard yellow V-neck sweater, and white pants. The girl was wearing a white short down jacket, a navy blue plaid skirt, and a mustard yellow knitted hat with pom-poms. It was around 9:30 p.m."

It's no wonder she misunderstood; their outfits looked too much like couple's clothes.

Whether intentional or not, the two of them have indeed frequently run into each other over the years.

Perhaps influenced by the festive atmosphere, Gu Lanxi really had the urge to rush over at that moment.

Just as he was about to go over, the girl suddenly appeared behind him.

To be honest, she didn't even know how she got home that day.

Lu Nanting was completely baffled and couldn't remember at all!

"Back then, I had already debuted and was at the height of my fame. If I were walking down the street with a girl at 9:30, I was afraid someone would take a picture of me. How come I have no recollection of that?"

Gu Lanxi ignored him, and seeing that the water was boiling, she lifted the lid of the pot and put abalone and orchid crab into it.

"No wonder I looked at you several times when we met at the New Year's Eve party, but you didn't even glance at me! So that's why!"

Lu Nanting felt wronged, surprised, and also had a sudden realization, as if he had finally solved the case!

"When have I ever had another girlfriend besides you? You have my phone number and my WeChat, so why don't you ask me?"

I don't remember walking down the street with a girl, but I do remember not watching him at the New Year's Eve gala.

It was both infuriating and hilarious, and I even felt a little sweet inside.

But how could she have had the courage to ask him back then?
She didn't want to be made a clown.

But she would never say such a thing.

Gu Lanxi counted the seconds and promptly scooped the abalone out of the water and placed it on a plate. Only after it had cooled down a bit did she pick one up for Lu Nanting.

The person who was furious was instantly appeased, and their voice lowered several decibels:
"I really don't remember. Could you elaborate?"

"There's not much to elaborate on. Old Hou was in a car accident, and his sister couldn't be picked up after her tutoring class. You happened to be filming an advertisement nearby, so they asked you to pick her up temporarily. And then you two happened to be wearing the same new collection from a certain brand, so I misunderstood."

She was in a terrible mood after this happened on Christmas Eve. A couple of days later, Lu's mother invited her for tea. She didn't want to go at first, but she went anyway.

Halfway through her tea, she tentatively mentioned meeting Lu Nanting on Christmas Eve, and Lu's mother couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It turns out that the Hou family and the Lu family live in the same community and have a good relationship. Hou's parents are both on business trips abroad, and one of their children needs to attend tutoring classes regularly for the upcoming junior high school entrance exam, while the other was in a car accident. Mrs. Hou specifically asked her for help.

At the time, it was just because it was time for school to let out and Lu's mother needed time to get there. Knowing that her youngest son lived nearby, she asked him to go pick her up first.

In fact, less than twenty minutes after Lu Nanting brought the person to the photography studio, Lu's mother came and took the person away.

She never expected to run into him in such a short time.

She still remembers Lu's mother's expression at the time, and every time she thinks about it, she feels embarrassed, ashamed, and ashamed.

Upon hearing her mention it, Lu Nanting also remembered it and was speechless for a moment.

"The Hou family's daughter is just tall; she was barely thirteen back then. What are you thinking?!"

Now that things were out in the open, Lu Nanting breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his back, and his temper flared up!

"How did you know? Did you go and find out? And since you knew, how could you be so jealous? And remember it so clearly after all these years? I'm ashamed for you!"

Seeing him practically standing up with his hands on his hips, pointing vigorously at his own nose, Gu Lanxi sighed.
“I was on the other side of the street, a bit far away. The Hou family members have a dignified appearance and are very tall. When you two were dressed like that, and you were tugging at her sleeve while crossing the street, telling her to watch out for cars, anyone would misunderstand, okay?!”

"Knowing her brother was in a car accident and in the hospital, she was so anxious she didn't even look at traffic lights. How could I not hold her hand? I only held her sleeve, not her hand..."

To avoid being scammed, he always knows how to keep his distance from girls, okay?
"I already said I didn't know at the time, and the point I'm making isn't that, but the first part of what I said, okay?"

Seeing that the food in the pot was cooked, Lu Nanting adjusted the induction cooker.

The button beeped a few times, but neither of them spoke.

Lu Nanting picked up a piece of squid flower, put it in her bowl, and then asked her with a smile, "Have you really thought about getting back together with me?"

"Hmm." "Do you regret breaking up with me?"

"Ah."

The conversation had already begun, and fortunately, everything was said.

“I was in a lot of pain during that time. I often regretted missing you and had nightmares about the day my mother passed away. I felt very sorry for you and for myself, but I was powerless to change reality.”

When things aren't going well in love, the "love brain" automatically transforms into a "career brain Plus" or a "study brain Pro".

During that period, she had an incredibly keen eye for investment; everything she invested in made money. As her business empire expanded rapidly, she also bought this house.

His academic performance is even more outstanding.

Not only did she get perfect scores in every subject, but she also won all the major competitions on campus. She has so many awards and certificates that they can't all fit in her dorm closet and have to be stuffed under her bed.

Because of her outstanding performance, she was hailed as a "study god" by her classmates. For a long time, during exam week at University A, her emojis would be flooded with messages like "May the exam god bless you."

Gu Lanxi lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes drooping, her face as white as jade, and her long, shiny black hair draped over her shoulders, giving her a serene and peaceful appearance.

She has always been a person who dares to take responsibility for her actions; if she really thought that way at the time, she wouldn't deny it.

"I wish I were a little stronger."

When she had nothing, meeting a partner who was too good for her made her feel incredibly pressured.

She came from such a terrible family and went through so much hardship to grow up. This made her easily feel inferior, yet she also had a very strong sense of self-esteem and cared deeply about her own safety.

When a relationship has the potential to cause her great harm, her instinct is to run away, to run as far away as possible.

Reason and emotion were constantly at odds, and the vast difference in their feelings meant that she couldn't give herself the peace she craved.

Only when she is strong enough will she have the confidence to face all of this.

Being dumped without warning back then was a huge blow to Lu Nanting.

Years later, hearing her say that she had thought about getting back together and that she had always regretted it, the last knot in my heart was untied.

“I understand what you did and I know why you did it, so it took me a long time to be understanding. But I can’t deny that you really hurt my pride.”

The atmosphere was right, and for the first time, the two talked about what happened after their breakup years ago.

"For a while, I was filled with self-doubt. I even wondered if you broke up with me because you thought I was a bad student and would drag down the child's intelligence? Maybe your illness was just an excuse?"

In his mind, it was normal for Gu Lanxi to love him so much, and he simply couldn't accept that she dumped him!

“During that time, I didn’t like going out and skipped school for several days. The school teacher called my mother, who was on vacation abroad. When she heard the news, she flew back overnight.”

It has to be said that growing up in a loving family is often a truly blissful experience.

“I had a terrible time, but I had my loving family by my side. When I think of you afterward, I realize I could only get through it alone, so I forgave you.”

"It's a little painful, but thank you for forgiving me."

"Oh, what's so unforgivable about that? After all, it didn't cross my bottom line."

This was the first time Gu Lanxi had heard him talk about his bottom line, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is your bottom line?"

Lu Nanting put down his chopsticks and took her hand.

"Only love can make me disregard everything. If one day you stop loving me, I will let you go gracefully."

Gu Lanxi silently withdrew her hand.

"At least I thought about getting back together with you, but you never contacted me."

"What can I do? Someone like you, working without a license, will easily ruin even the deepest relationship. Is it because I don't want to? If only my mother had given birth to me a few years earlier..."

Seeing that he had inexplicably gotten angry again, Gu Lanxi picked up a piece of squid and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Brother, in my heart, you are the best in the universe!"

Well, I was so busy laughing that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
The forced marriage in the garage happened last Tuesday night, past 11 p.m.

This hot pot meal was our lunch this Tuesday.

Chapter 65 will be released in a week.

Oh my god, I'm so awesome!
