The sweetest in the entertainment industry

"To be honest, in previous years, let alone getting married, even dating was not in my life plan."

Gu Lanxi poured herself a glass of water, drank half of it comfortably, sighed softly, and then sank further into the beanbag chair to satisfy the three people's curiosity.

If you tell this truth, almost no one will believe you.

But none of the three people present were ordinary people.

Hearing her say that, they all understood.

"It's true that dating men isn't as interesting as doing scientific research. If you go in the wrong direction in scientific research, you can always turn back. But if you go in the wrong direction with men, you'll be in deep trouble and won't be able to get out of it. Life is short, so you should use it to do more meaningful things."

As expected of a woman who has deeply studied domineering CEO literature, Mi Duoduo made everyone burst into laughter as soon as she spoke.

Gu Lanxi coughed twice and raised a question: "I don't think this has anything to do with who is more interesting. The difference is that if you make a mistake in scientific research, the responsibility lies entirely with you, and there's nothing to argue about. But if there are problems in a relationship, it's inevitable that you'll pass the buck. The time and energy required for the two are completely different."

"Since you understand this principle, why did you fall in love? And why did you decide to marry him?"

The three of them didn't talk about their own affairs, but only kept asking her questions.

Frankly speaking, even for ordinary girls, getting a marriage certificate as soon as they reach the legal marriage age is a crazy thing to do. These years are the golden period for them to build their careers, so getting married is really unwise.

This question had been lingering in their minds ever since they received the news of Gu Lanxi's marriage.

If we don't ask now, it won't be appropriate to wait until after the wedding to ask.

"There's nothing I can do. I like him, I want to date him, and I want to marry him. In life, you're bound to encounter all sorts of unexpected changes. Before I met him, I couldn't have predicted it either."

"Then why do you like him?"

Mi Duoduo scratched her head, unsure how to describe her thoughts, while Chen Wan was much more incisive, immediately listing the various differences between the two:

"You two, one comes from a wealthy family with a happy childhood, the other from a broken home with no happiness to speak of; one is a top student, learning everything quickly, the other a poor student, unable to even score over 100 on the combined science exam; one is free-spirited and romantic, passionate and direct, the other is reserved and introverted, mostly devoid of romance, constantly attracting unwanted attention..."

Before she could speak, Gu Lanxi raised her hand, gesturing to stop her: "Stop, stop, stop!"

"What's wrong? Did you say something wrong?"

"I'm definitely not immune to romance, okay? I can accurately receive his feelings, I just don't like to say them out loud."

Chen Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Wow, if you're so good at talking, then talk more and teach me how to date properly, so that I can practice without pain if I ever meet someone like that."

Gu Lanxi pounced on her and tickled her.

Long Lin pulled her apart and gave a fair assessment: "You two really seem to be from two different worlds. I can't understand why you chose him over so many suitors."

Lu Nanting had asked her this question before, and her answer at the time was that she chose him because she only liked him.

As for when I started liking it, I'll talk about that later.

As a result, we encountered an incident where a dishonest neighbor was eavesdropping. We didn't have a chance to have a proper chat that day, and friends have been coming over one after another these past few days, so we haven't had time to talk much yet.

"His feelings for me were love at first sight, but my feelings for him grew over time."

Gu Lanxi was intelligent and beautiful from a young age, and had countless suitors.

Among them are many elites who have excellent qualifications in every aspect.

In truth, those people's love for her was no less than Lu Nanting's.

But love is never something that can be decided by a one-sided affection. It's one thing for someone to like her, but it's another thing for her to like him or not.

“He is indeed good-looking, from a good family, and has a very interesting personality, but at first, I wasn’t really interested. I just wanted to tutor him well so he could get into his dream university and then get the bonus his mother promised him to invest.”

At that time, she only had a desire for her career and no longing for love whatsoever.

"You probably know about my family situation. I've understood since I was little that being love-struck and falling for the wrong person will never end well. If I inherited this from my mom, that would be terrible! So I don't dare gamble on people's hearts, so I'd rather cut it off completely. As long as I don't fall in love, being love-struck won't harm me."

Gu Lanxi lay back on the beanbag chair, looking at the exquisite crystal chandelier above her head, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I was young then, and my thinking was very naive. It wasn't until I actually met someone I liked that I realized how difficult it is to firmly refuse." Chen Wan's eyes sparkled: "Is it because he was forceful and persistent that I couldn't refuse?"

Gu Lanxi gave her a dismissive look: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be forcibly taken or relentlessly pursued?"

Gu Lanxi is not only smart, but also skilled in martial arts. In addition, she is ruthless and even dares to hit her own father. Anyone who dares to play the domineering CEO romance novel in front of her probably doesn't know what death means.

Especially when she was a minor.

The three nodded in unison, and Chen Wan quietly admitted her mistake: "Sorry, sorry, I've been writing too many brainless novels, I'm a bit addicted."

Gu Lanxi gave a soft hum, then couldn't help but laugh.

Then she actually laughed.

Chen Wan thought she was laughing at her, and couldn't help but reach out and tickle her: "What are you laughing at? I've never even talked about it. What good can come from just theoretical discussions?"

Long Lin grabbed her hand: "Stop fooling around, it's getting late, do you still want to hear what she has to say?"

After he finished speaking, the three of them looked over at the same time.

Obviously, as the first person in the dormitory to get married, everyone had a lot of questions for her.

"I can't reject this relationship because I've fallen for him and can't take it back. I know very well how big the gap is between us, but I can't control myself. Do you understand? Even if I try to save myself, to cut the Gordian knot quickly, to get out of this out-of-control emotion, I still can't control my heart. I think about him every day, want to see him, want to talk to him, want to do everything with him..."

Admittedly, Lu Nanting is far beyond Gu Lanxi's reach in her field, but he also has his own comfort zone, such as music and dance... things that Gu Lanxi is not good at at all.

The two are so different!
The disparity in family circumstances is particularly striking.

If Gu Lanxi were an ordinary girl, she might just think that a windfall had fallen from the sky, that she could marry into a wealthy family, enjoy a life dominated by Lu Nanting, and passively accept Lu Nanting's love.

But she was different; she was strong-willed and couldn't tolerate the inequality in their relationship.

What she wants is a relationship where both partners are equals.

This requires a sufficient economic foundation to support it.

"So, the key question is, why did you fall for him?"

He rambled on about a bunch of random things, but didn't mention the important point.

"That was a very long process."

Gu Lanxi scratched her head: "He is very obedient and serious about his work. He will learn everything I teach him very carefully."

The reason she received that large sum of money was inseparable from Lu Nanting's hard work.

Of all her suitors, this was the first one to get involved with her money and, through his own efforts, make her rich.

This immediately changed the way she looked at Lu Nanting.

“He’s like a money tree planted in my yard. I observe it carefully every day, water it, fertilize it, loosen the soil… Even if it’s just to reap huge profits, the time and energy invested still form a huge sunk cost. That’s what makes him different from others.”

For someone to enter her heart, the prerequisite is that she must have him in her eyes.

Lu Nanting did it.

"He is an outstanding person with a great personality and a lot of charisma. He is serious about his work, respectful of others, and willing to put in the effort for me. He can bring me a lot of emotional value. Anyone who seriously gets to know him will like him."

I never expected it to be for this reason.

But it’s normal to think about it.

They all knew just how deeply Gu Lanxi loved money.

Lu Nanting brought her her first pot of gold, and she used that gold to build her fortune. To her, Lu Nanting was practically a lucky charm, a powerful benefactor bringing wealth and good fortune. Add to that his exceptional personal qualities, and how could she not like him? (End of Chapter)
