Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

"Things have really changed these days. They've finally stopped treating me to seafood hotpot and come to such a high-class place instead," Cheng Yuyu joked.

"Haha, you're practically my matchmaker with Brother Chu. I'm doing so well now, I definitely can't treat you badly," Mingxi said with a grin.

"By the way, did you finish filming your movie so quickly?"

"Is this fast? I'm going to go crazy if we keep filming like this. You have no idea how harsh the environment was." Just thinking about the filming environment made Cheng Yuyu's head ache.

"Right now, I'm just hoping for good box office results and smooth operations so I can win an award, successfully enter the film industry, and become a respected actor in the eyes of the audience."

Whether as a lover or a friend, Mingxi provides a wealth of emotional value, and upon hearing Cheng Yuyu say this, she immediately affirmed it.

"Absolutely no problem. You're so outstanding, you'll definitely succeed! Plus, your Director Liu's family has a lot of connections in the industry, right? He'll definitely put in a lot of effort for you."

"Old Liu did say he'd find someone to pull some strings for me, but who knows? You can't always trust a man's word," Cheng Yuyu said calmly.

Hearing him say that, Mingxi frowned. "You're not right. I think Director Liu is quite sincere towards you."

"The reason you got this role in Director Zhao's movie is because he snatched it from Liu Qin. And Liu Qin was still making sarcastic remarks about you on Weibo because of this role."

"Tch! Everyone's just relying on their own abilities. It's not like he hasn't stolen roles from others before. He'll have to keep playing the 'yin-yang' role after the movie is released."

Whether it was being torn apart or tearing someone apart, Cheng Yuyu never took it seriously.

"Old Liu is good to me now, but who knows what will happen in the future?"

"If Director Liu heard you say that, he would definitely be heartbroken."

Cheng Yuyu scoffed, "Have you been living the 'rich lady' life for too long and lost your mind?! You're making it sound like we're some innocent young lovers having a pure romance."

"He's not that kind of person. There's no innocent love story between us. You know how we got together."

"I know, but..."

"No buts, you're living such a wonderful life right now, what? Want to retire from the entertainment industry? Become your Mrs. Chu?"

"How could that be? I never said I was going to retire from the entertainment industry. I still have to shine in the entertainment industry and show my fans my stunning good looks." Mingxi said with a serious expression.

Cheng Yuyu rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "It's about time you left the industry. I don't see you posting any business deals or stills on Weibo anymore, it's all just showing off your happiness and wealth."

"Hehe, do you also think I'm showing off my wealth?" Mingxi looked at Cheng Yuyu with anticipation.

"Of course! You post all sorts of luxury goods on social media every day. Haven't you noticed you're getting more haters? Flaunting wealth breeds hatred."

"Hahahaha! That's right, I'm rich, there's nothing I can do about it." Mingxi didn't care about being criticized by haters. He was doing well, so they wanted to criticize him for showing off his wealth.

If he doesn't live well, wears out-of-season clothes, and doesn't have any luxury accessories, they will laugh at him for being shabby. No matter what he does, it's not right.

"However, I really have no intention of leaving the entertainment industry."

Cheng Yuyu looked at Mingxi with suspicion. "Reason? You don't seem like someone who loves their work."

"Although my brother Chu's business is getting better and better, Burger King keeps opening new branches, and he is planning to open another company recently. He is so busy that I don't need to go out to earn money at all."

Seeing Mingxi's smug and boastful attitude, Cheng Yuyu really wanted to reach out and pinch his face hard, but he held back, for the sake of this meal.

Mingxi, seemingly oblivious, continued, "But Brother Chu is so ambitious and hardworking; I don't want him to think I'm someone who only knows how to enjoy life and has no ambition whatsoever."

"When we first met, I told him I wanted to be a big star. Now that I've retired from the entertainment industry, it makes it seem like I was just fooling him. I need to have my own career."

Despite his seemingly eloquent words, Mingxi has actually considered retiring from the entertainment industry and is entirely dependent on Chu Yuyang.

However, his sister Mingyu disagreed, telling Mingxi that he must have his own career.

Whether this career makes money or not is not important; he must have a second identity besides being Chu Yu's boyfriend.

Mingxi has always been his older sister's little shadow since he was a child. Although he considers himself to be very smart, his older sister Mingyu is even smarter than him, and what his sister says is always right.

After hearing this, Cheng Yuyu clicked his tongue twice and said, "You do have some brains, but not many."

Ignoring Mingxi's disapproving look, he continued, "Besides trying to get as much money as possible from him, you should also use his help to develop your career."

"Putting aside whether he has connections or not, his cousin Zhao Haiting knows quite a few investors and producers in the industry. He's spoiling you so much now, he could help you get into the crews of a few big directors. If you can't reach the top tier, can't you at least try for the second or third tier?"

Cheng Yuyu felt he was earnestly trying to teach Mingxi how to maximize his benefits.

Mingxi ignored it, but he knew Cheng Yuyu was doing it for his own good, so he just mumbled "uh-huh" in agreement.

Judging from his expression, Cheng Yuyu knew he hadn't taken it to heart, which made him feel helpless.

However, Mingxi is just that kind of person. He was spoiled since childhood and has never suffered any hardship or loss. His love of ease and aversion to work are fully reflected in him.

At the same time, he felt that he deserved all the good things in the world, so he did not believe that Chu Yu would ever be ruthless to him, and that the two of them would always be together.

"Then you should hold onto your Brother Chu tightly and make him support you for life. If that doesn't work, have a child with him." Cheng Yuyu came up with the most effective plan.

"Huh? Are you crazy! I'm still a child!" Mingxi shouted. This suggestion was too terrible.

Cheng Yuyu rolled his eyes again, adding a sarcastic remark, "What you and your Chu-ge do every day isn't something a child should do. A child? Are you even a child that big?!"

"Oh dear, let's not talk about this anymore. I can't imagine what it's like to give birth."

Mingxi quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Yuyu, here, this is for you. I thought it would suit you perfectly when I saw it."

As she spoke, she got up, took out a small dark brown hard gift box from her bag, and placed it in front of Cheng Yuyu.

Cheng Yuyu picked up the box, his eyes lighting up. "Wow, it's true what they say, you're not the same as before. Not only did you treat me to a gourmet meal, but you also gave me a VV gift. My role as matchmaker was definitely worth it."

Inside the box is a uniquely designed bracelet with interwoven metal "V" shapes and studded with diamonds.

Cheng Yuyu put it on her wrist and examined it carefully. She had to admit, Mingxi had good taste; it looked really beautiful on her.

"It's so beautiful, I love it! Thank you!"

"If you like it, that's all that matters! No need to thank me!"

Cheng Yuyu thought it looked better and better. "Full of diamonds, it must cost at least tens of thousands, right?"

"Two hundred and one thousand."

"Goodness, you don't care about the cost of this money? I feel sorry for your CEO Chu, he's so generous with gifts for his friends."

Cheng Yuyu couldn't bear to part with it. Perhaps it was because he was used to being poor when he was young, and because he was cheated out of his fortune by a man when he was young and naive. So now he is most attached to money, and he really couldn't bear to buy such an expensive thing for his friend.

"Yuyu, you're not just an ordinary friend. You're the only true friend I have in Beijing. You always genuinely care about me and treat me well. Brother Chu knows about this gift I gave you, and he thinks I did the right thing," Mingxi said earnestly.

Mingxi's sudden outburst softened Cheng Yuyu's heart, even his "poisonous husband" nature. He patted Mingxi's hand and said, "Why are you doing this? You're being so sentimental. We don't do this kind of thing between us."

"Hehe, isn't it good to be touched once in a while?"

"Great, that's wonderful. When we order later, I'll order the most expensive dish to show my appreciation."

"Huh?! Let's not order anything too expensive. Brother Chu works very hard to earn money. I need to be thrifty."

"Tea-related words and phrases."

"Hahahahaha!"
