The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Which one is Chapter 43?

More than a dozen boxes were carried downstairs in three separate trips and piled up in a corner of the living room.

Lu Nanting put the cart away and returned it to the storage room. Gu Lanxi, while stretching her aching hands and feet, talked to him:
"I'll take a shower first. Aunt Wang made cold noodles for lunch. It's so hot that I don't feel like eating. I'll try something different today."

"I'm not a picky eater..."

Lu Nanting put the stroller down, and couldn't help but laugh halfway through his sentence.

"Okay, I mean, cold noodles are fine."

Gu Lanxi chuckled, tucked her hair behind her, and walked towards the bedroom. Lu Nanting followed behind, discussing with her:

"There are still quite a few boxes left. Pack up your things this afternoon, and we'll arrange for the family's truck to come over and move them all to the new house."

"Ah."

Gu Lanxi agreed and locked the door. Lu Nanting didn't mind and opened the door to go into the next room.

After quickly taking a shower, I received a call from Zhang Mingyuan.

"Are you alright over there? Be careful not to open the curtains to prevent drones from taking pictures. Don't take the trash downstairs either; just leave it inside. I'll come over and take it to a more distant place later."

Lu Nanting had only moved here a little over a month ago, and Zhang Mingyuan never expected that his home address would be known so quickly.

While busy guiding public opinion, they also had to appease major brands, and then worry about the ever-present paparazzi and obsessive fans.

Because I was too busy, I could only call here three times a day.

Poor "Zhang Ma" has barely slept these past few days.

Lu Nanting knew just how busy he had been lately, and had no intention of causing him any trouble.

"I haven't gone out lately, so don't worry. There are people taking care of me at home, and I have plenty of food and drink. The garbage is just normal garbage. If anyone wants to rummage through it, let them!"

Lu Nanting understood Zhang Mingyuan's concerns. He was afraid that Zhang Mingyuan and Gu Lanxi would be together all the time, constantly having arguments and leaving behind used umbrellas and other trash in their trash bags.

Lu Nanting wasn't a fool; just because he hadn't eaten pork didn't mean he hadn't seen pigs run.

Furthermore, to prevent the emergence of a high-tech illegitimate child, the wealthy family hired professionals to teach him how to avoid the leakage of his biometric information as soon as he came of age.

Even if he and Gu Lanxi really did *that*, he wouldn't just throw it in the trash.

These things were not easy to tell Zhang Mingyuan, so Lu Nanting just told him not to worry.

Although Zhang Mingyuan was worried about him, he knew that he was always steady in his work. After receiving repeated assurances, he had no choice but to hang up the phone.

After finishing their cold noodles, the couple spent the entire afternoon tidying up and had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside.

In fact, the online messages have become much calmer now.

Lu Nanting got his marriage certificate on Wednesday, and the news broke on Thursday night. By Sunday night, almost three days had passed, and even the extreme fans who were threatening to jump off buildings had calmed down a bit.

When the mind is not controlled by emotions, everyone can be Sherlock Holmes.

Although the popular comments that Fan Tiantian previously generated were heavily criticized, they were indeed effective.

The entire internet is now searching for "Lu Nanting's wife," and some people are already watching videos of him attending events and unconsciously looking for sweet moments to enjoy.

A post pops up on the topic forum every now and then, excitedly sharing their discovery, and the replies can immediately soar to thousands.

And you know what? Everyone's eyes were really sharp.

Did you see the charity gala last November? Look, around the 3-minute and 40-second mark, he started staring in the same direction for at least ten seconds, like he was acting in a romance drama. Take a closer look at that gaze.

A deep, affectionate gaze is completely different from when looking at someone else.

Anyone with eyes could see that his eyes were full of affection.

[And this, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but every time he goes on stage at a concert, the first thing he does is carefully look at the audience. I used to think he was trying to remember every fan's face, but now I realize, damn it, he's looking for people! I'm so disappointed in him...]

Since his debut, Lu Nanting has maintained a cool and aloof persona, rarely speaking and often looking at people with a cold gaze. Besides focusing on his singing, he dislikes self-promotion. His immense popularity stems not only from his good looks, privileged background, and talent, but also from his generous and approachable nature. Once, just before a concert was about to begin, he caught a cold and lost his voice, making it impossible to continue. After the concert was cancelled, he not only refunded all tickets but also promised his fans that if they wished, they could attend a free concert of the same caliber at the same time and place next year with their expired tickets.

After the anger subsided, remembering his good qualities, fans followed him back with tears in their eyes, their hearts filled with only this one unwavering devotion.

I want to see just how good the person he chooses must be to deserve his devoted treatment.

As more and more evidence emerged, fans were heartbroken and cried, unable to explain why.

At the time, I just assumed he was in a good mood and didn't consider any other possibilities. Now, thinking that he might be looking at someone he likes, I don't know why, but I just feel like crying.

Fan Tiantian slept for three hours, then got up and, seeing that things had finally changed, immediately took action to guide public opinion and create a victim persona for Lu Nanting.

If fans didn't uncover certain details, she would arrange for someone to pretend to be a fan and release the pre-edited video.

At first, the fans were angry and unmoved.

If you see similar scenes a few more times, your heart will soften.

My heart softened, and I couldn't help but think, he loves so sincerely, yet he has never received a single response. Can't you please stop treating him like this!

Love him well! Be with him and cherish the time you have together!

After praying, I couldn't help but curse myself inwardly.

What did he do wrong? He just likes someone, he didn't mess around, why are you scolding him!
You haven't said anything for the past few days, are you feeling very sad?

People who used to like him so much have suddenly changed their attitudes and started cursing him. He must be very sad.
As things unfolded as planned, after a brief period of disappointment, the fans found a new goal and quickly perked up again:

There were a dozen or so glamorous female celebrities sitting over there, so can anyone tell me which one he was looking at?

Other singers frequently appear on shows to perform duets with female singers, but he has never done that.

They had no professional interaction, and according to feedback from wealthy female fans who followed their schedules year-round, they had never been close to anyone.

Do you guys think our brother would do online dating?

[Hmm, probably not? Last year, when he was on "Celebrity Daily Life," the cameraman followed him for a week and found that he didn't even play games. When he was busy, he would just have his assistant hold his phone. Could it be that online dating can be done with just thoughts?]

[Stop speculating. He's given that look more than once, and it's been captured on camera every time. Perhaps we could compile a list of the people he's been looking at, filter out the overlaps, and then exclude those in relationships or married.]

Xiao Heizi immediately chimed in and spoke:

[Anything in the entertainment industry is unpredictable. So what if he's in a relationship? So what if he's married? Who can guarantee he hasn't had an affair with someone? Maybe he got someone pregnant and had to get married for his career? Otherwise, why wouldn't he announce it publicly? What's wrong with judging people? Who can prove that the person he was dating back then is the same person he married now?]

These days, you can't call yourself famous if you don't have some haters.

These remarks were echoed by many others.

Celebrities may have wild lifestyles, but wealthy scions are unlikely to be devoted to one person. It just goes to show that prejudice is harmful.

Just when they had nowhere to vent their emotions, seeing the trolls emerge, Lu Nanting's fans finally found something to do and rushed over to tear the trolls apart:
"If he really did that kind of thing, Mrs. Lu would have broken his legs long ago. Our brother is a very strict boy, unlike your son! Get out of here! Stop making wild guesses!"

After a great battle, the fans were full of vigor and high spirits, and under the management of the team, their cohesion reached a new level.

Seeing the number of fans steadily increasing, the studio staff, who had been frowning for days, finally relaxed.

"Come on, come on, it's time for a late-night snack tonight! A seafood feast! The boss specially arranged for his family chef to make it for us! Everyone's worked so hard these past few days!"

Inside the studio, Zhang Mingyuan led the Lu family chefs, pushing a food cart into the lounge.

Lifting the stainless steel lid, large plates were brought out and neatly arranged on the table.

Huge king crabs, almost as big as the plate, were piled on top, one after another.

The tension that had been building for days instantly eased, smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and cheers rose higher and higher.
