The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 492 Small-minded

Because of those two days of vacation that he was still upset about, Lu Nanting was sullen all day.

He didn't say why, he just sat in the corner with a cold face playing on his phone, looking like he had lost eight million in the stock market.

Oh no, even if he was involved in stock trading, even if he really lost eight million, it shouldn't be this bad.

He was on vacation, and his staff were also on vacation. These were all people from Gu Lanxi's studio, not very close to him, and seeing that his expression was off, they didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone was working diligently, as if they had suddenly returned to last month, busy every day without a moment's rest.

A crew member, asked by someone to ask for his autograph, knocked on the door and came in. Seeing his appearance, they were afraid of offending him and didn't dare to mention it.

Gu Lanxi focused solely on filming and didn't try to appease him, but he stubbornly stayed by her side, as if he were competing with her.

Previously, when he came to the film set, he was afraid of affecting everyone's work, so he basically stayed in the lounge and didn't go to the set. But today, he followed Gu Lanxi wherever she went.

He went there but didn't say a word, only glancing at Gu Lanxi with a pitiful look from time to time.

He acted as if he wanted the whole world to know that he had been bullied!
However, Gu Lanxi was heartless; the more he acted up, the less she paid attention to him.

It's like raising a husband, not a son. What's the point of spoiling him all the time?

Driven by pride, and with him watching from the sidelines, Gu Lanxi not only performed consistently but also exceeded expectations during filming today, prompting Ni Bingyan to shower her with praise over and over again with a megaphone.

Unable to win the argument and with no one to talk to him when he was angry, Lu Nanting had no choice but to take her phone with a cold face, skillfully unlocked it with facial recognition, and started scrolling through their chat history.

And you know what? Looking at the little things between the two of them from Gu Lanxi's perspective, you can basically see what he is like in Gu Lanxi's heart.

His thoughts jump around, he spouts witty remarks, and acts on a whim. He can be childish at times, a rogue at others, but most of the time he is quite innocent...

I must say, it was quite therapeutic to watch.

I almost forgave this heartless woman.

As a result, after exiting the two-person chat window, I randomly opened a few contacts and ended up clicking on two rivals.

With the alarm blaring, Lu Nanting simply flipped through the entire book from beginning to end.

He used to check phones too, but at most he would take a bunch of handsome photos of himself with Gu Lanxi's phone and open some apps that interested him. He wouldn't even dare to secretly transfer some pocket money to himself.

This is the first time I've opened every contact in my address book and scrolled up through the chat history to the top.

You won't believe it until you look inside!
A whole bunch of rivals are lying in his wife's friend list.

There were classmates, alumni, business partners, and work colleagues...

Regardless of their identities, they all confessed their feelings to Gu Lanxi.

This is only through WeChat.

In real life, people confess their feelings; they confess over the phone; they send emails and write letters...

Just thinking about it makes me so angry!
Although Gu Lanxi always refused decisively, they maintained a friendship. They would send messages during holidays and occasionally chat to catch up on each other's lives.

Both sides spoke in a normal tone, but Lu Nanting still found it extremely irritating.

In a fit of anger, without waiting for Gu Lanxi to finish work or even saying goodbye, he put on his sunglasses and walked away coolly.

After he angrily drove out of the film and television industrial park, he wanted to find a place to have some fun, watch a movie, have a meal, or sing karaoke, but he was afraid that Gu Lanxi would be angry, so he drove straight home.

It was around six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and standing in the living room, his shadow was very long. Because of the light, he could see the thin layer of dust on the sideboard at a glance.

I don't know how, but the ostrich feather duster that was stuck in the round vase on the floor ended up in my hands.

I swept away all the dust, even the ceiling, and then took a rag and wiped all the ornaments and open cabinets.

Finally, I tidied up the house.

After I finished mopping the floor, I checked the time and it was already past ten o'clock.

Today is Saturday. I told them in advance that I wouldn't be back for dinner. Lao Xiao and Lao Chen happened to be on vacation together, so they went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense. They won't be back until tomorrow night.

The old lady next door said that praying for marriage there is incredibly effective! Both of her children are still single, so she has to pray for them properly.
Aunt Wang was sleeping in the nanny room when she heard noises coming from inside the house. Knowing that both bosses were home, she didn't come out to check, afraid of catching them being affectionate.

The commotion continued for several hours, and Aunt Wang finally couldn't resist her curiosity and came out to take a look.

Then I saw Lu Nanting holding a handheld vacuum cleaner, vacuuming the dust out of the sofa crevices.

Looking inside, everything was sparkling.

She hurriedly slipped back to the nanny's room and frantically called Old Chen.

Old Chen cleans very well and is also responsible for washing clothes and shoes for the young couple. He believes that he has worked diligently in the Lu family for nearly 20 years and has never made a mistake. When he received Aunt Wang's call, he felt like the sky had fallen!
My own young master has never done any chores since he was a child, yet he's doing a thorough cleaning all by himself!
Do you think she's too old to clean properly?

She's not that old...

With his rich experience, he thought about it and figured it out.

If someone has a professional cleaner at home, what does it mean if they still go to the trouble of cleaning the house themselves?
This means the child is upset.

Gu Lanxi is filming on set and won't be leaving until next week to do business trips. Logically speaking, as long as the couple is together, Lu Nanting won't be unhappy.

He seems very unhappy now, which must be related to Gu Lanxi.

Thinking of this, Old Chen quickly told Aunt Wang his guess.

Aunt Wang quickly locked the door, jumped onto the bed, and pretended to be asleep. Not long after Lu Nanting left, Gu Lanxi noticed.

I asked the assistant, but he left without saying anything. I assumed he had something to do at work and left temporarily, so I didn't think much of it.

When I finished work, there was no selfie or dinner to share in the chat, not even a punctuation mark.

Knowing he was a little angry today, but Lu Nanting wasn't the kind of person who had a short temper, or rather, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to stay angry with her for a long time, Gu Lanxi called him.

As a result, Lu Nanting turned off his phone.

She called Lu Nanting's assistant again, and seeing that Lu Nanting had no work scheduled, she didn't delay any longer and drove home as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, upon entering the house, I found it to be exceptionally tidy.

Aunt Chen is on vacation today. Although Aunt Wang is cooking for the two of them, their roles are clearly defined. It's impossible for Aunt Wang to do a thorough house cleaning outside of her regular duties.

"It can't be that serious... If we really have to go, we're all family, we can just go, why are you so angry..."

Gu Lanxi pondered this as she changed her shoes.

After changing her shoes and entering the house, she saw that the kitchen door was half-open, and Lu Nanting was cooking with his back to her.

"You left without even saying goodbye, and you didn't answer my calls. You've gone too far today!"

Pushing open the sliding door, Gu Lanxi leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction without any attempt to hide it.

Seeing that Lu Nanting ignored her and only focused on cutting the fried chicken breast, Gu Lanxi was helpless:
"If you really want to go, then come along. We're all family, what's the problem? As long as you can spare the time."

Lu Nanting had a schedule for those two days. Originally, Gu Lanxi wanted to go with him, but plans changed quickly, and she had no choice.

Lu Nanting was seething with anger, and unable to bear it any longer, he turned around and looked at her coldly: "Do I care about the holiday? It's your attitude that matters!"

Even though I knew he was unhappy, I pretended not to see it.

Ignoring his emotional needs, as if his anger is no big deal.

"And why are there so many people in your friend list who have confessed their feelings to you? So, in your heart, can people who can't be lovers still be friends?"

The two rarely argue, and it seems this is the first time they've ever quarreled this year, even though it's already June.

Gu Lanxi was utterly speechless: "We were friends to begin with, just staying in the same place. Besides, I have no other feelings for them, so why can't we be friends?"

"You also chat with them quite often!"

"It's just normal interaction; some of us even do business together! Who would turn down money? I can't just cut ties with someone because they liked me, can I?"

"Still doing business with them??"

"Stop, stop, stop! Calm down! If I were really interested in them, what would you be involved in? I even kept your contact information from a few years ago! Why can't I keep theirs?"

"What do you mean by 'even me'? How come I don't deserve to be in your contacts?"

"Stop, stop, stop! Eat your food first! It's such a small thing! You're so angry that you're not even eating."

"Ha, I'm going to starve myself to death!"

"Let me see what you've done? If you're not going to eat, I'll eat for you. I'm so hungry."

Even though he was very angry, when he heard her say she was hungry, he moved his foot to the side to make room for her.

Okay, a disciplined person's dinner: chicken breast salad.

Gu Lanxi plopped down at the dining table, rested her chin on her hands, and angrily demanded, "I don't want to eat this, I want to eat grilled shrimp!"

"Find another one, we don't have any at home."

They said they wouldn't be eating at home today, so naturally, they wouldn't be preparing fresh live shrimp.

"Then add some black sesame seeds. You've made me so angry I'm losing my hair, I need to fix it."

Lu Nanting silently found the sesame bottle, sprinkled a thin layer of sesame seeds on it, and then took it out to share with her.

Gu Lanxi lay on the table, quietly waiting for him to divide the salad into small bowls.

After taking a couple of bites from the bowl, he stretched out his foot and kicked Lu Nanting's shin.

"I'll only tease you, not anyone else. If you get angry, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Gu Lanxi blinked: "If one day we can't get along, I will definitely block all your contact information, you know? You should understand what it means to truly care. Don't be jealous all the time."

After finishing her meal in two bites, she threw down the words, "You made me worry today and even yelled at me, so you do the dishes," and left with a righteous air.

Lu Nanting bit his fork, scratching his hair in frustration, unsure of what to say.

You might think she's being unreasonable, but it seems to make a lot of sense.

But while her statement makes a lot of sense, something still feels off.

That stubborn mouth of yours is always useless when it matters!
hate it!

Starting in the second week, Wang Jie officially started school, and the teachers began assigning homework.

The girl asked me to tutor her, but I said no way. First of all, I'm a terrible student; I struggle to even get into a second-tier university, while you're a top student from a prestigious 985/211 university. Do you think you can learn anything from me? Secondly, you have a good temper, but I have a bad one. Do you want to hear us arguing every day? Also, I'm a laid-back, unambitious person whose only requirement for her is that she's happy and healthy every day. I don't care about her academic performance. Are you sure?
Then Juanwang immediately took up his post, took out the pointer and blackboard he had prepared beforehand, and shouldered the important task of tutoring Sister Wang.

Yes, I can't let his heir to the throne be ruined in my hands.
