The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 69 Swollen Face
Their relationship has made a substantial breakthrough, and Gu Lanxi's attitude towards him has changed again.

Lu Nanting felt it very clearly.

Hearing her confidently order him to pour water, and then complain in a coquettish voice that her legs were too weak to walk, Lu Nanting happily got up, picked up the cup, and left.

Gu Lanxi lazily curled up in the quilt, almost falling asleep, when she finally saw him return.

She took the cup, noticed the weight was off, looked down and saw that there was only a little less than half a cup of water, but she wasn't annoyed.

She sat up and drank, peering into the cup as she looked inside, poking him with her finger as she did so.
"Brother, look, there are words in the cup."

Although Lu Nanting particularly enjoyed the feeling of being relied on and ordered around by her, he deliberately took only a small amount of water when fetching it, not so that she would order him around more often.

I wanted to explain, but upon hearing this, my curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't care less.

Lu Nanting stopped turning on the phone and casually tossed it aside: "What?"

The cup was an ordinary white porcelain mug with a pure white exterior and only a ring of gold cursive English letters around the rim. Lu Nanting hadn't really noticed whether there were any words inside the cup.

"Look, it says here, lucky little fairy, congratulations on winning! You've won 'One More Drink'!"

It was rare to see her show such a mischievous side, so Lu Nanting played along.

Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly: "But the purchasing agent sent a message saying that you ordered too much, and they will start charging shipping fees now!"

"Oh? Even a super VIP like me doesn't get free shipping?"

"Ahem, yes, because what you are about to enjoy is the most precious and purest water in the world, which is not covered by the wife card's free shipping policy."

"How much will the shipping cost?"

"A glass of water, a kiss."

"Hiss—you should ask the reseller, are they out of business? It's so cheap! Tell them I want a super, super, super amount of water!"

After saying that, she wrapped her arms around his neck, cupped his head, grabbed his hair, and kissed him frantically on the forehead.

"Bubbles, pops, pops..."

That was incredibly loud!
Lu Nanting was amused by her and couldn't help but explain, "I was cooking yam porridge. If I drink too much water, I won't be able to eat it later, and I'll probably wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

Gu Lanxi stubbornly licked her lips: "I just ate someone, I'm not hungry!"

Lu Nanting burst out laughing: "So you see, you can't have two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed."

He said he talks nonsense all day long, but if Gu Lanxi really got cheeky, he wouldn't stand a chance!
After saying this, before Gu Lanxi could scold him, Lu Nanting immediately got up: "I have to stir the pot, lest it burn!"

It's late at night, and I've just been "heroically injured," so having some yam porridge that nourishes yin, tonifies the kidneys, and is easy to digest is quite suitable.

She was already a little sleepy, but touching her slightly hungry stomach, Gu Lanxi's drowsiness vanished completely, and she actually began to look forward to this bowl of porridge.

While pouring water, Lu Nanting quickly rinsed the rice and put it in the pot. Afraid that eating too much would be hard to digest, he didn't cook any vegetables and just took out a few tender pickled cucumbers from the jar.

After the porridge was cooked, I sprinkled in a few goji berries and stirred it. I filled two bowls with the porridge and put them on the table along with the pickled cucumbers before going to the bedroom to call Gu Lanxi for dinner.

Perhaps because he was in so much pain, Gu Lanxi, who wasn't usually the type to bully others, suddenly felt like teasing him today.

He said the food was ready, but even though his stomach was growling with hunger, he just lay there without moving.

Not only did she lie still, she also acted coquettishly:
"Brother, my legs are weak~"

For a man, that's the highest compliment.

What else is there to say?
Without hesitation, Lu Nanting walked over, lifted the blanket, and picked her up.

Well, the delicate girl who kept complaining about her weak legs had somehow managed to get up and put her clothes on.

A two-piece set, a floral cotton pajama set that he would never easily get his hands on.

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh, and while laughing, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Gu Lanxi glanced at him sideways, then unceremoniously wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him carry her to the restaurant.

The two sat facing each other and ate as usual.

Gu Lanxi felt embarrassed and kept her head down, refusing to look at him.

Lu Nanting couldn't help but stare at her, forgetting even to eat.

Looking at a beautiful woman under the lamplight, the more you look, the more enchanting she becomes.

Gu Lanxi's face was radiant with spring, even more beautiful than the peach blossoms of March.

Lu Nanting suddenly said, "I want to be good to you for the rest of my life."

No one had ever said such a thing to her before.

But her father said it to her mother, most likely more than once.

The night before her mother committed suicide, she said many, many things to her, and one sentence in particular left a deep impression on Gu Lanxi—

“Your father told me he would be good to me for the rest of his life, but I’m still so young, and he doesn’t want me anymore. If he was lying to me, why didn’t he lie to me for the rest of his life? If he was sincere, why did he have a child with that woman? I really can’t understand it.” Gu Lanxi buried her head and finished the bowl of porridge before nodding gently.

"Yes, I took note of it."

If she ever comes to that point, she will never allow herself to end up in such a wretched situation.

She will withdraw in time and cut her losses.

For her, relationships are no different from investments.

Having made up her mind to invest, she was prepared to lose everything.

Besides, she trusted her own judgment.

After finishing their meal, the two returned to their bedroom and then went to the bathroom together to wash up.

Standing side by side in front of the sink, our eyes met in the mirror, and the toothpaste foam in both of our mouths tasted the same.

"Go to sleep now. We need to leave early tomorrow to pick up my aunt from the airport."

To allow more time for her business, and since there were no more suitable flights available, Gu Yongxin's mother bought a ticket for 6:10 a.m., which would take about 40 minutes to travel.

Gu Lanxi's place is a bit far from the airport, so just to be on the safe side, she has to get up at 5:30.

Seeing that it was already past eleven o'clock, the two lay back down on the bed and talked about their plans for tomorrow.

Gu Lanxi was still worried, so she got up again to check the documents she had prepared earlier. Only after confirming that everything was in order did she lie back down.

Lu Nanting gently patted her back: "Sleep well, sleep well, everything will be alright!"

Gu Lanxi nodded obediently and leaned against him.

Afraid of getting too hot and sweaty, I deliberately turned the air conditioner down one degree.

The moonlight is enchanting, and the gentleman is as pure as jade.

Gu Lanxi noticed that he wasn't sleeping, but instead kept staring at her. He would look at her for a while, then lower his head and kiss her, then look at her for a while and kiss her again.

It was that kind of innocent kiss, just a kiss on her forehead.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but chuckle: "Go to sleep! Do I have flowers on my face? Do they look that pretty?"

"Wrong, you're much prettier than a flower!"

"Ha, a world that judges by appearances, shallow men."

"No, I'm looking beyond your skin to see your fascinating soul."

"Tsk, this isn't much better, just a smooth-talking man."

"Well, you always have something to say."

"Just don't look at me like that anymore, and don't kiss me anymore... I... I'm still in a lot of pain..."

"Close your eyes and go to sleep!"

Lu Nanting is not some beast who doesn't know what consideration is.

Gu Lanxi had slept too long during the day and was full of energy, so she couldn't fall asleep at all. But she didn't want to spoil the mood, so she leaned against Lu Nanting's chest and let him coax her gently.

Lu Nanting tried to coax her to sleep for a long time, but failed. Instead, he managed to put himself to sleep.

Gu Lanxi immediately got up, went to her study, opened her email on her computer, and started dealing with work-related matters.

I didn't feel sleepy until 2:30.

She felt stiff all over, probably from sitting in the study for too long.

It's a bit uncomfortable.

So I plan to go to the gym before bed and do a few punches to relax.

Lu Nanting woke up in the middle of the night to find something cool beside him. Startled, he sat up abruptly.

I walked around barefoot for a while, but didn't see anyone. The gym was closed, but a sliver of light shone through the crack in the door.

Without thinking, he turned the doorknob.

Then you see that delicate woman who was timidly crying out, "Brother, my legs are weak," wearing a sports headband, sweating profusely as she hits the sandbag hanging on the wall.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Punch after punch.

Lu Nanting stared in disbelief, inexplicably having the illusion that his face was very swollen.

My tendency to feel embarrassed for others has flared up again. Someone please save me...≥﹏≤
