The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 442 Shopping
"We're free this afternoon, let's go shopping! You can get a tax refund here, and the prices are much lower. It's almost the change of seasons, and since we're already here, we might as well buy some clothes and jewelry to take back with us."

Being young is great; you're full of energy and don't care about the six-hour time difference at all. After a flight of more than ten hours, instead of thinking about going back to the hotel to rest, you want to go shopping.

Lu Nanting cut the steak while discussing it with Gu Lanxi.

After I finished cutting, I gently pushed the plate in front of her and looked at her expectantly.

in the country, when the two of them go shopping together, they are often surrounded by people, but it is much better abroad.

It's a rare treat for the two of us to travel abroad together, and it would feel like a wasted trip if we didn't go sightseeing.

Gu Lanxi doesn't travel abroad frequently. Aside from going out for fun, she's either obsessed with love and secretly follows Lu Nanting's schedule. She's really not used to long-haul flights.

She lazily propped her chin up, picked up a piece of cut beef with her fork, and put it in her mouth. Seeing his eyes light up, she couldn't bear to refuse.

After much hesitation, a compromise was finally devised:

"Go ahead, buy whatever you like. I want to stay at the hotel and sleep."

Besides attending three shows, Lu Nanting also has to shoot a magazine cover, so he'll be staying here for more than a week.

Gu Lanxi's new drama is about to start filming, and she will be going back with Ni Bingyan the night after tomorrow.

Lu Nanting has long-term private buyers and stylists with excellent aesthetic sense. In addition, he has many endorsements, and the brands give him a lot of clothes and jewelry every year. For him, shopping is just a hobby, not a necessity of life.

Time was limited, and Gu Lanxi didn't want to exhaust herself.

Lu Nanting loves shopping, especially all kinds of interesting accessories. She not only likes to dress herself up, but also likes to dress her up.

Paris, as the world's recognized fashion capital, is simply paradise for shopaholics with unlimited financial resources.

Although she has low material desires, she likes to buy classic clothes that she wears for years; when buying jewelry, she prefers to buy small, high-quality pieces that are made of solid materials and can be passed down to future generations; as for bags, in her opinion, they are a waste of money. In her words, if a bag costs two million, why not just rob it?
But she was never a spoilsport.

Within her capabilities, she would give Lu Nanting whatever he wanted.

It was just a shopping trip, and she had already prepared a credit card with a sufficient limit for Lu Nanting.

"The point isn't buying things, but going shopping with you."

Lu Nanting put down the mashed potatoes he was making and sighed softly.

Sometimes he really wondered if his wife lacked a romantic sensibility.

The steak wasn't good, so Gu Lanxi forked a small piece of salmon from his plate, ate it with a frown, and seeing his displeasure, couldn't help but sigh.
"What's there to see? The streets are full of garbage and homeless people. You can smell urine in any alleyway. It's raining all day long. I went all the way to see the Arc de Triomphe, but it wasn't as impressive as the gate of my neighborhood. I walked a few steps along the Seine and there were dead rats everywhere. What I hate most is that I get robbed all the time. If I lose control, I beat someone until they vomit blood, and then I have to go to the police station and argue with them..."

After rattling off a bunch of things, seeing that Lu Nanting was just staring at her and smiling, and had even stopped eating, Gu Lanxi immediately stretched out her foot and kicked his shoe.

Lu Nanting rubbed his face, trying his best to put on a less gossipy expression:

"When did you arrive? You sound like you've had quite a lot of experience."

To be honest, many people have a very positive view of this place before they come, but after arriving, they find that many places are not even as developed as small towns in China.

Gu Lanxi avoided answering and continued to complain:
"Besides, female celebrities all over the world are flocking here lately. I feel embarrassed to go out without a full face of makeup, otherwise I'll lose face the moment I show my face. If someone takes an unflattering photo of me and it gets back to China, it'll be considered embarrassing for me abroad. Also, if I buy too much stuff, it'll be seen as showing off my wealth, while just looking and not buying is considered stingy..."

If you want something, wouldn't it be better to just buy it discreetly and have it delivered to your home?

I'm already exhausted, and then I have to go out in full gear for a show. Just thinking about it is enough. "If you sleep in the afternoon, you won't be able to sleep at night. If you're not in good shape for the show, you'll be yawning a lot, which is the worst thing that can happen."

"Then I'll work overtime at the hotel."

“Okay then. I was thinking of going to pick out some gifts for our relatives and friends together. It’s different when we pick them out ourselves.”

Well, if I had to say it, the people who know you best, besides your spouse, are your enemies, wouldn't you say?

Upon hearing this, Gu Lanxi was immediately speechless.

"Furthermore, Sister Mei and Brother Yuan had a meeting beforehand and made thorough preparations for this fashion week. Taking advantage of the relatively ample time today, they teamed up to shoot some promotional materials and edit a vlog to solidify their CP (couple) fanbase. They also showcased some small accessories to attract new endorsements."

Everyone in the industry knows which brand ambassadors' contracts are about to expire.

Mei Xue had already thought it through for Gu Lanxi, specifically which brands to try and secure. So when she went out later, she should wear the Extreme brand clothes, and make a deal with the watch, jewelry, shoes, as well as the bag, hat, glasses, etc.

Seeing him lean closer and explain in a low voice, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but lean in and whisper her own opinion as well:

"I feel like a mobile display stand, which I don't really like."

"Making money isn't shameful."

"Okay, I'll get used to it as soon as possible."

"On the bright side, I have far more restrictions than you, so it's not easy for me to put together a standout outfit."

The two people sat across the romantic round table, covering their mouths and giggling as they talked, making the scene even funnier.

In the afternoon, the two went back to the hotel to change their clothes, and then left hand in hand with their staff.

First, go to a sparsely populated area to take some great photos, including solo and couple shots.

Then go shopping.

Lu Nanting originally wanted to take Gu Lanxi to buy seasonal clothes and jewelry, but her agent immediately rejected the idea.

This was the first time the two had attended Fashion Week together, and it was also their first year of marriage. As a result, there were eight CP (couple) fan sites, more than the number of individual fan sites on either side.

For convenience, these people even stayed at the same hotel as the two of them.

When the two of them go out, these people will definitely follow them.

If they head straight to luxury stores to buy things, firstly, it will have a negative impact on their image, and secondly, it will mislead their fans, potentially causing them to blindly follow suit and make purchases. This is something we really have to be careful about.

Anyway, Lu Nanting just wanted to take her out on the street, and it didn't necessarily mean they had to buy anything. After listening to the manager's advice, the two immediately changed their route and started browsing various interesting little craft shops.

I must say, these kinds of stores are really fun to browse.

It was raining today. Lu Nanting held up a large black umbrella and strolled along the street with Gu Lanxi, occasionally bending down to say a few words to her.

The fan site admin followed closely behind, taking photos like crazy with her camera.

That same evening, the first wave of amazing photos posted by fansite admins appeared in China.
