Chapter 203 You're Not Good to Me

Gu Lanxi finally saw the gift that Lu Nanting had prepared for her.

In the video.

It was a horse, a tall and handsome stallion.

From Hanover, Germany.

He is 165 cm tall, with a smooth body shape, well-developed muscles and harmonious proportions, making him look strong yet elegant.

It has glossy black fur, thick and flowing mane, and large, intelligent black eyes, giving it a somewhat untamed and wild appearance.

Gu Lanxi was instantly smitten at first sight!
"The moment I saw it, a picture formed in my mind. I wanted to ride it and shoot a series of stunning photos, wearing a bright red, flowing dress, a bamboo hat, and carrying a red-tasseled spear, galloping through the misty rain. I wanted a distant shot, a towering mountain, with a majestic, impregnable pass, ideally bathed in a harmonious shade of grayish-blue in the rain, with a straight path at its base. I wanted to enter the frame from the left and exit from the right..."

The two were in the study. Gu Lanxi sat on Lu Nanting's lap, with the tablet propped up on a stand on the table. After the video finished playing, she couldn't help but reach out and drag the progress bar back to watch it again.

Lu Nanting rested his head on her shoulder, sensing her genuine happiness, and couldn't help but laugh as well.

For her birthday, Lu Nanting bought her a bunch of luxury handbags. Aside from being happy when she unpacked them, they've been sitting at home ever since, and she hasn't used a single one.

That's alright, anyway, those bags are all classic styles, they'll come in handy eventually.

But Lu Nanting still felt uneasy and kept thinking about what to send again.

I thought that since she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and debuted in martial arts dramas, she would probably like this, but I didn't expect that she would actually like it!

I feel that all the effort I put into this horse was worth it!

Seeing her so excited, I didn't want to dampen her spirits, but there were some things I had to say.

"We just got this horse back a few days ago, and it's still getting used to it. For safety reasons, it can't be ridden yet. Besides, it's not easy to find that kind of weather at this time of year, and if we use special effects in post-production, the results will definitely not be good."

"I'll practice my riding skills in the second half of the year and get used to the horses. Then we'll go to the south of the Yangtze River to film next year! As for the filming location, I'll contact the location liaison I know. They know a lot of hidden gems for filming locations, so maybe we can find a suitable one."

"Okay! I'll try to go with you when we're filming!"

Gu Lanxi guessed that he wanted to film with her, and couldn't help but feel awkward:
"I want to capture the feeling of solitary courage, but if you shoot it together, it might not work."

"Why not? I'll dress up as a chivalrous hero, or a general, or even a young master in white. You'll wear a pretty pink dress, sitting cutely in my lap. We'll ride horses, accompanied by the March breeze and petals falling from the sky, slowly walking under the peach trees..."

Gu Lanxi jumped to the ground and turned to leave.

"I'm a chivalrous hero! The kind who delivers messages when the northern barbarians invade! The martial world! Righteousness! Unyielding courage! Don't you understand? What kind of 'pretty wife' script is this? It's so cliché I can't bear to look!"

"How about I wear a skirt, and you dress up as a man and hug me? I'll give you the tough guy role!"

"Are you crazy, Lao Lu?!"

"Don't yell like that. I'll think you're insulting my dad, and then I'll feel a surge of smugness and won't reflect on my actions."

"Pah, pah, pah! Anyway, I won't film what you're doing!"

"Hey, you're not good to me, Gu Lanxi."

"What can we do? With your personality, if we actually filmed it, wouldn't you make sure the whole world knows?"

"It's okay to be a little cute sometimes! You won't believe me, but everyone online is saying how adorable you are~ kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides~"

"I only did that because there were so many people around, I gave you face and didn't slap you on the spot. You scared me to death, okay?"

"I saw it, you blushed, you were shy."

"No, I'm angry!"

"Bullshit, you wouldn't laugh like that if you were angry. Don't think I don't know just because you're wearing a mask."

Gu Lanxi ran straight out of the study, not wanting to talk to him.

Lu Nanting quickly followed.

They didn't need to go to the horse farm tomorrow; they planned to sleep in.

After a quick shower and some intimate moments, it was almost three o'clock, and Gu Lanxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

There was nothing I could do. I slept soundly for two hours on the plane, but now I was thinking about her horse, and the more I thought about it, the less I could sleep. "Who bought that horse? How much did it cost?"

I know she won't be able to sleep tonight unless she gets to the bottom of things.

Lu Nanting pulled her into his arms, nuzzled his chin against the top of her head, and sleepily replied:

"My older brother loves horseback riding and started a club. He even acquired a piece of land specifically for it, building a private horse farm in the eastern suburbs. The farm isn't open to the public; it's only used to entertain friends and business partners. Members get together from time to time to connect and discuss business. I mentioned wanting to buy you a horse, and my brother personally went to Germany to pick one out for you. It's a top-quality pedigree, just three years old, and has only received basic training. We'll need to spend more time training it; it's a horse qualified for races. It would be such a waste if it was ruined."

"Oh? Is that so? Is it very expensive?"

"Don't worry about that. He's my older brother, and he'll be your older brother too. He didn't give us anything when we got married!"

Lu Nanting was pampered by his two older brothers since he was a child. Not to mention a horse, when he was eighteen, his two brothers each bought him an apartment in a prime location in Shanghai, which he accepted without hesitation.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

“That’s not how it works! You’re all grown up now, no longer a little kid who needs your brothers to take care of you. You have to reciprocate, not just keep taking. Otherwise, it won’t be easy for me to get along with my two sisters-in-law when we meet.”

“What you said makes a lot of sense, then we should have a baby soon.”

Why have children?

“When Wei Chen and Jia Ning were born, I gave them gifts, and I also gave them big red envelopes during holidays. Since we don’t have children, they don’t even have a chance to reciprocate. Wouldn’t they be at a huge disadvantage?”

"You can't say that. Wei Chen and Jia Ning are juniors, they're family, so it's only right that they be given something."

"Then they should give us things, shouldn't they? I can't possibly be older than them!"

"Never mind, let's go to sleep!"

The two grew up in completely different environments, so this matter is impossible to clarify.

Lu Nanting patted her head, hummed in agreement, and then earnestly gave her some advice:
“We’re all family. They’ve all been very good to me. You’re being too formal and it will hurt their feelings. Whatever they want, as long as my brothers are willing, we’ll take it without hesitation.”

Although Gu Lanxi felt a little uncomfortable, she thought about it and stopped worrying about it.

Lu Nanyi is Lu Nanting's biological older brother, born of the same mother. Unlike her cousins, he sometimes nitpicks too much, which makes him seem petty.

"Will I have to pay for the horse's feed and training fees in the future?"

"It's our own horse farm, why should we pay? Not only will we not pay, but we'll also have my older brother find a good horse trainer to give it professional training. It's so young, we can't let it sit idle."

"It's really not easy being your servant. It's just that you can't read, otherwise I'd have to give you a test paper every day."

"Stop fidgeting! Go to sleep! Otherwise, if I walk the red carpet with dark circles under my eyes tomorrow night, those marketing accounts will start blaming me for being a terrible person."

Gu Lanxi snorted and turned her back. Lu Nanting hugged her and they fell asleep shortly afterward.

He was really sleepy at this hour.

In her dream, Gu Lanxi saw the dark bird's nest again.

She stood in the center of the enormous stage, and someone chuckled softly in her ear, their voice magnetic and gentle, tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"Well, a powerful soul doesn't need pity."

In her dream, she repeated her original answer: "Love is enough; save your pity."

In the end, I still feel sorry for her!
That's why he tried his best to bring her the things she used to admire but didn't have.

From a balloon to a horse.

What will happen next?

As long as there is love, you should be able to get whatever you want...

Nobita has Doraemon, and she has Lu Nanting.

In her sleep, Gu Lanxi silently turned over.

Today I rummaged through my drawers and picked out some books that interested me, and put them in the cabinet next to my desk so I can reach them easily.

I bought a small table a few days ago and put it on the bay window. When the weather is nice, I can read there.
