Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 184

Five days later, the two simple music videos were completed.

Lu Jiang's biggest takeaway from this collaboration is that, despite the North American team's strict 9-to-5 work schedule and lack of overtime culture, and the numerous rules and regulations during filming, their efficiency is incredibly high, no less than that of mainland teams.

I have to say, their film industry is truly impressive! We have a lot to learn from them!

After filming wrapped, Fan Binbin strongly suggested spending an extra day in the US, taking advantage of a free day in their schedule to enjoy some time alone together.

Lu Jiang didn't refuse, since he wasn't busy anyway.

One advantage of living in the US is that you don't attract as much attention when you go out.

Lu Jiang's songs are currently popular in the US, and his face has gained some recognition there, but not much. In addition, he is Chinese, and many foreigners have difficulty recognizing Asian faces, so he has much more freedom to walk around in American shopping malls than people in mainland China.

The same goes for Fan Binbin; the "Chinese pop goddess" image doesn't work in America.

However, to be honest, she got more attention than Lu Jiang because she was pretty, but that was all. No reporters or fans came up to ask for autographs or anything like that; they just glanced at her briefly, and that was it.

The two enjoyed this "cold treatment" and were able to relax and have some fun.

Shopping spree in the morning, big lunch, amusement park in the afternoon.

By the end of the day, I had managed to fulfill some of the little wishes I hadn't been able to achieve in the past few years.

Back at the hotel that evening, while taking a bath together, Fan Binbin remarked, "We've been together for so many years, and this is the first time we've done something that ordinary young couples do!"

That's right, today was the first time the two of them had unlocked achievements such as holding hands while shopping, riding roller coasters and Ferris wheels in public, and openly kissing and taking couple photos on the street.

Seeing Fan Binbin's satisfied yet still somewhat unsatisfied expression, Lu Jiang felt a little ashamed.

This is quite an unusual way of dating.

Seemingly sensing Lu Jiang's thoughts, Fan Binbin changed the subject: "But I think it's fine this way. If we were really like a normal couple, you probably wouldn't be interested in me anymore by now."

"Are you trying to provoke me or something?"

"I'm targeting you. I want to keep you firmly by my side and prevent other little vixens from snatching you away!"

"Then don't worry, you are the most enchanting enchantress in the world, who can be more alluring than you?"

"Yes, for example, Gao Yuanyuan."

Fan Binbin hugged Lu Jiang's arm, looked up into Lu Jiang's eyes, and his gaze sharpened.

When Gao Yuanyuan was first brought into the palace, it was said that she would be signed.

As the "official wife," Fan Binbin had previously stated that all female celebrities were under her control.

Therefore, after filming of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" was completed, Fan Binbin was informed about the signing of Gao Yuanyuan.

During this time, Gao Yuanyuan was busy preparing for her thesis defense, and Fan Binbin never mentioned it.

I thought she had tacitly agreed, or perhaps she hadn't noticed the situation between the two of them. But I never imagined that she not only knew, but had a complete understanding of it, and was just waiting for an opportunity to confront them, like now.

Lu Jiang remained unfazed, put his arm around Fan Binbin, and said with disdain, "You're jealous of a concubine too?"

"Why can't I eat? Anyone would feel uncomfortable if there was suddenly another person in the house!"

"Who said I was going to let her into the house? From now on, there will only be one mistress of the Lu family, and that is you, the empress. Everyone else who doesn't have your permission can stand outside!"

This is not a time for jokes.

The status of the empress must be officially certified.

Fan Binbin was relieved after hearing this, and the corners of his mouth turned up again.

However, she still didn't intend to let Lu Jiang off so easily, and then snorted, "What if someone comes to my door with a child? I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on your Lu family's offspring."

"That's easy. I'll get you pregnant first, and produce a legitimate child first. Once you're satisfied, I'll get the rest pregnant!"

"You actually want to get her pregnant? And the rest? Tell me! Who else is there besides Gao Yuanyuan!"

"There's only one right now, but it's hard to say how many there will be in the future."

"Lu Jiang! You're such a pervert! I'm going to tell Uncle Lu!"

Fan Binbin pretended to be angry and was about to get up, but Lu Jiang pressed her down in his arms: "Look at you, why are you angry?"

"How can I not be angry after you've said that!"

"You didn't hear me clearly. I said I'll get someone else pregnant if you're satisfied. If you're not satisfied, then I definitely won't do it."

"I'm not satisfied!"

"Okay, then I won't do it!" "Really?"

“'Really?' Fan Binbin, that question really hurts me. We've been together for so many years, don't you even have basic trust? When have I, Lu Jiang, ever lied to you?”

That's true. Over the years, Lu Jiang has proactively shared some confidential information about the company.

As for other matters, Lu Jiang would never hide anything from Fan Binbin if she asked. For example, regarding Gao Yuanyuan, he answered her questions openly and honestly.

Moreover, she truly dedicated herself wholeheartedly to Lu Jiang's career.

So to be honest, aside from spending a bit too much, Lu Jiang really treated her exceptionally well, genuinely regarding her as his future wife.

As for his philandering ways, Lu Jiang had already taken precautions. After all, as the first wife, there would definitely be other concubines.

Fan Binbin was well aware of this, but when the incident actually occurred, she did feel somewhat unbalanced.

But what can you do if it's unbalanced?
Who told me to get stuck with Lu Jiang, this big jerk!
So Fan Binbin pouted again: "What if? Those vixens have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

"Still worried? Then how about this..."

As Lu Jiang spoke, he got up, then scooped Fan Binbin out of the bathtub and headed straight for the bed. "I'm not bringing an umbrella today. I'll get you aroused first, so you can use the emperor to command the princes, okay?"

"Don't~"

Fan Binbin finally let down her guard and became scared, giggling and kicking her legs repeatedly to express her refusal.

It's too early. She's only 21 and her career is just starting. She really didn't want to have a child so soon.

The more she struggled, the more excited Lu Jiang became. Coupled with the novelty of the day, not even eight oxen could pull Lu Jiang away!

Of course, causing someone's death is definitely out of the question right now. Lu Jiang is only 25, which is too early, so Lu Jiang was just talking.

More than an hour later, Lu Jiang solemnly promised the limp Fan Binbin: "When you're ready, just tell me, and I'll make sure the whole world knows you're my wife!"

This isn't just some vulgar talk from Lu Jiang; it's a genuine expression of his feelings.

This was the first time in all these years that Fan Binbin had heard a proper "declaration of love" from Lu Jiang. He had never said anything like that before.

Therefore, these words now carry immense weight.

This means that she has completely and utterly accepted her identity.

Fan Binbin, who is obsessed with love, can't stand this.

She immediately burst into tears, then wiped them away, and exclaimed with a smile, "How come today feels even more touching than that day in Shaoxing!"

Shaoxing in 99 was where the two got together, and also where Lu Jiang took Fan Binbin's virginity.

Lu Jiang laughed and said, "Was it too painful that day?"

"Bullshit, it doesn't hurt at all, I don't feel anything!"

"Whoa, you're insulting me, aren't you? I can't tolerate this!"

"No. I was wrong. Haha."

A happy and sweet day passed quickly.

The next day, the two boarded a plane back to China.

Before disembarking from the plane, Fan Binbin mentioned Dong Xuan again.

"She likes you a lot. If you can't resist, just sleep with her."

Lu Jiang glanced sideways: "So they're already using checks and balances?"

"Yes, but that's not the main reason."

"Isn't that the main reason?"

“Of course.” Fan Binbin leaned closer and whispered, “Our family has given Dong Xuan so many resources, and she’s still a virgin. If you don’t take advantage of this, wouldn’t that be a huge loss? And if others find out, you’ll be laughed at!”

Lu Jiang looked surprised, but not because of Fan Binbin's change in thinking, but because: "She really is a virgin?"

"Would I lie to you about this?" Fan Binbin rolled her eyes, then pinched Lu Jiang's waist again. "Don't get it too big! Got it?"

"Tch, who said I was going to sleep with her? Do you think I'm that thirsty?"

Lu Jiang pursed his lips, and Fan Binbin also pursed his lips: "Okay, you said it yourself."

Lu Jiang smirked, "I said it! But if she's thirsty, there's nothing I can do."

Then, Lu Jiang's little bit of fat around his waist was hit with a critical blow the next second.
