Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 483 In the adult world, there are no right or wrong, only choices!

Seeing Tang Nannan bowing her head in shy silence, Gao Dongxu did not press her to make a choice.

There are some things that women are clearly willing to do, but they will never say out loud.

Silence is an attitude.

This represents a hesitant, conflicted, acquiescing, and passive attitude. What Gao Dongxu needs to do is to be proactive and assertive.

All that's left is to go with the flow, half-heartedly agree, make the best of a bad situation, make mistake after mistake, and eventually develop feelings for each other.

"After lunch, I'll take you to buy a few formal dresses. Dress up and outshine your rivals," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Tang Nannan took a deep breath, raised her head, her pretty face flushed, and said in a shy, trembling voice, "Thank you."

"Alright, you can go down now. Call Yang Tao up—" Gao Dongxu looked at her conscience, which was quite prominent under her cheongsam, and looked forward to the day when he would condemn her severely.

Seemingly sensing Gao Dongxu's burning gaze, Tang Nannan blushed and hurriedly got up, turning around and walking quickly towards the stairwell.

Although she looked a bit disheveled, the way she twisted her waist and buttocks was still so graceful and charming.

While Gao Dongxu was calling Yang Tao upstairs to report on the sales situation, far away in Hangzhou's Xiling Society, Meng Chao brought a cup of tea to Wu Xie in the inner room, where Wu Xie was frowning and carefully examining a snake-browed bronze fish with a magnifying glass.

"Thank you." Wu Xie put down the magnifying glass, took the teacup, blew on the floating tea leaves, and took a small sip.

"Any progress?" Meng Chao asked casually.

Wu Xie shook his head and sighed helplessly, saying, "No matter how much I pleaded and begged, my third uncle just wouldn't tell me, saying that some secrets had to be taken to his grave."

"Since that's the case, then don't bother yourself. You haven't had a proper rest since you came back, you've been doing research all the time. You should relax and rest a bit, otherwise your body really can't take it." Meng Chao said with concern, looking at the bloodshot in Wu Xie's eyes.

Wu Xie looked at Meng Chao, smiled with gratitude, and said, "I understand. We'll close the shop and rest this afternoon. I'll treat you to a foot massage so you can relax."

Meng Chao said, "You should go by yourself. I'm not going. I can't enjoy that kind of blessing..."

Watching Meng Chao leave quickly, Wu Xie couldn't help but chuckle. He took a small sip of tea while reaching for a black-and-white photo that had been placed face down on the table, staring intently at the image of Zhang Qiling in the photo.

To be honest, when Wu Xie first saw this photo, he thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Immediately, he felt like he had been thrown into an ice cave, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

This photo was found in a frame in the old house a day after Wu Sansheng returned to Hangzhou, leaving behind the message, "I'm going to Xisha again. Take good care of Panzi and don't come with me!" before disappearing.

Could it be that the expedition to the Xisha Islands twenty years ago was really related to the Lu Palace?

Twenty years have passed, and her appearance hasn't changed at all... How is that possible? How could two events separated by such a vast distance in space and time be connected?

During his trip to the Seven Star Lu Palace, Wu Xie noticed that besides the most mysterious and unpredictable Gao Dongxu, there was also the enigmatic Zhang Qiling.

Now that we see this photo, Zhang Xiaoge's identity becomes even more mysterious, and the numerous mysteries surrounding him suddenly fall into an even more unbelievable state.

The underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands... Zhang Xiaoge... Huo Xiangu...

Wu Xie picked up the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, his gaze unfocused. What he didn't tell Meng Chao was that Wu Sansheng had told him that if he really wanted to figure out the secret of the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, he could only go to Huo Xiangu, the head of the Huo family of the Nine Gates, because perhaps she knew.

"Looks like I'll have to go to the capital. I might as well go see Fatty..."

Thinking of this, Wu Xie put down his teacup, placed the snake-browed bronze fish into a brocade box, found his backpack, put the brocade box and the photo inside, slung the backpack over his shoulder, and walked out.

"Boss, what's going on?" Meng Chao asked, looking at Wu Xie who suddenly wanted to go out.

"I'm going to the capital. I'm leaving the shop in your hands." Wu Xie said to Meng Chao, then quickly walked out of the shop.

Meng Chao hurriedly followed, calling out to Wu Xie who wasn't turning around, "Boss, be careful—"

Wu Xie raised his hand and waved casually, then walked to the intersection, hailed a taxi, got in, and drove away.

Meng Chao frowned slightly, walked back to the counter in the store, took out his phone in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, and sent a text message.

Gao Dongxu, who was lying shirtless on the large daybed with his waist and legs covered by a brocade quilt, had just completed a double kill and was leisurely smoking when he heard the text message notification sound on his phone. He lazily reached out and picked up his phone, and when he saw the message, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Hehe, here comes the troublemaker..."

"what?"

At this moment, Yang Tao, who had just put on a blue sleeveless cheongsam, looked at him with a flushed face and asked with seductive eyes.

"It's nothing," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, looking at the charming Taozi.

Yang Tao raised her arms to fix her hair, but a slight pang of conscience made her glare at Gao Dongxu with annoyance, thinking about how she had been uncontrollably chewing on pills like a dog. She bit her lower lip, her eyes brimming with a tender, reproachful look.

"It was as if I'd never seen it before..."

Although it was a playful scolding, her voice carried an undeniable sweetness. Her fingers trembled as she tried to fasten the intricate knots, but she couldn't quite find the right spot. The silk fabric slipped through her fingers several times, much like someone's slippery claws.

She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked to the moon gate, raising her hand to lift the beaded curtain. As she parted the curtain, the pearls clinked together, making a clear, crisp sound that was particularly distinct in the quiet second-floor room.

"Ok?"

Looking at her split fingernail, Yang Tao frowned slightly. She must have gripped the edge of the mahogany table too tightly, causing the split. Thinking of this, her legs went weak again, and she had to hold onto the doorframe for support.

She turned back again, coy and charming, and glared angrily at Gao Dongxu, who was looking at her with a smile. She gave a soft snort and walked towards the stairwell.

A breeze blew up from the stairwell, causing the hem of her cheongsam to flutter and bringing a touch of shy coolness. Yang Tao fastened the last button, once again concealing those alluring secrets beneath the neatly fitted hem of her garment.

A smile played on Yang Tao's lips as she carefully descended the stairs, holding onto the handrail. Her waist swayed slightly, and the glimpse of her snow-white thighs through the slit of her cheongsam trembled uncontrollably.

At the lunch table, Tang Nannan, seemingly feeling guilty, kept her head down and ate her food with a slightly flushed face. She finished eating in just over ten minutes, got up, and went downstairs, as if she would be eaten if she stayed even a minute longer.

"Am I really that scary?" Gao Dongxu asked knowingly.

Wu Xiaowei and Taozi both looked at him at the same time, giving each other a charming glance, then looked at each other with shy expressions.

"When are you planning to win her over? She's already found out about my relationship with Sister Peach and your relationship, and things are getting really awkward around her now."

Finally, after finishing their meal, seeing Gao Dongxu smoking and drinking tea with a relaxed and carefree air, Wu Xiaowei couldn't help but speak up.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible," Gao Dongxu said, looking like he understood and didn't want to rush him.

Peach looked at Gao Dongxu with resentment in her eyes and said irritably, "I thought I had found my soulmate, but it turns out he's a total jerk..."

"Hehe, every true emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Alright, I'm not irresponsible. You are all my women. Don't worry, I will give you everything, including marriage, love, material things, and children. Life is only a hundred years long, so we can experience all kinds of things and see all kinds of life."

Many people spend their entire lives only to realize on their deathbed that the essence of life is actually just a short experience of living for a few decades. As long as you live comfortably and freely during this time, have things you enjoy doing, live a relatively free life, and do not let yourself down or those around you down, then you have already achieved a great deal of success.

I've been through a brief period of death, so I know better what kind of life I want. Each and every one of you is a connection to me in this life, and I won't miss you or let you go.

My greatest wish is to provide you with the best material life, so that you can live freely, carefree, and happily with me for the rest of your lives.

Gao Dongxu looked at the two women and spoke frankly and sincerely, revealing his true feelings.

Although the two women were touched, they couldn't help but feel jealous. After all, who wouldn't want to have this happiness all to themselves? Unfortunately, they had run into such a philandering playboy.

Leaving is difficult, and I feel unwilling to give up.

After all, finding another man like Gao Dongxu is probably just a pipe dream.

Moreover, it's not like he's being irresponsible. If he wants to enjoy the material life that ordinary people pursue their whole lives and can hardly enjoy even after several lifetimes, then he naturally has to make some trade-offs.

You can either enjoy a life of wealth and privilege with a group of people, or you can struggle to make a living with one person, working hard and living an ordinary life.

We're all adults, so choosing the right option isn't difficult.

"Try this one—"

At the Dior counter in Guomao, Gao Dongxu pointed to a gold tulle dress and said to the smiling saleswoman.

Tang Nannan, following closely beside Gao Dongxu, blinked her bright eyes with a slightly flushed face. Watching the saleswoman carefully remove the gold tulle dress from the mannequin, she couldn't help but whisper shyly, "Isn't it too see-through..."

Gao Dongxu turned to look at her and smiled, "Do you know what it means to outshine someone?"

Tang Nannan lowered her eyelids slightly, shyly biting her red lips, not daring to meet Gao Dongxu's murderous gaze.

"To outshine all others is to make all others pale in comparison!" Gao Dongxu said with a smile, not caring at all about those around him, as he reached out and lifted Tang Nannan's perfectly shaped chin, whose face was flushed and whose heart was pounding in her throat.

"Miss, this way please—" At this moment, the saleswoman, with an envious smile, held up the gold gauze dress and said softly to Tang Nannan.

Tang Nannan immediately fled from Gao Dongxu's side, feeling extremely embarrassed, and quickly ran towards the fitting room.

Ten minutes later, Tang Nannan walked out of the fitting room shyly, nervous and uneasy, unsure of where to put her hands, and secretly glanced at Gao Dongxu.

"Indeed, she's like a princess straight out of a fairy tale," Gao Dongxu praised without reservation.

A long, golden gown, like flowing golden sunlight, draped lightly over her body, swaying gracefully with her every step. The gown's design was exquisite and ingenious, showcasing both feminine grace and noble elegance.

The skirt swayed in the wind, as if carrying a dreamlike magic, filling the surrounding air with a romantic atmosphere.

"Take out that necklace and bracelet and put them on her—" Gao Dongxu walked to the jewelry counter and pointed to the two pieces of jewelry.

"Yes, sir—"

Tang Nannan was like a delicate and beautiful Barbie doll, letting Gao Dongxu, her owner, dress her up as he pleased.
