The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 498 I really love shopping
Lu Nanting took two days off before continuing to work; he happened to be shooting a magazine in Shanghai today.

Tomorrow, Gu Lanxi will be shooting promotional materials for the new Extreme brand product. The day after tomorrow, she will be shooting live-streaming footage for her skincare product endorsement and promotional materials for the new sunscreen. The day after that and the day after that, she will stay in Shanghai with Lu Nanting to shoot her newly signed high-end ready-to-wear and handbag endorsement.

This is a brand that Lu Nanting has been endorsing for three years. The two parties have always had a pleasant cooperation. Because they value the popularity of the couple and want to sell out the newly launched couple outfits and various couple accessories this autumn and winter, they specially spent a lot of money and with great sincerity to invite Gu Lanxi to become another global spokesperson for the brand.

It's not uncommon for husband and wife to be brand ambassadors.

But there are very few couples in the world who are both top stars and rely on their work rather than hype to rise to fame.

For the brand, the Lanting couple is an extremely rare resource.

After filming this, Gu Lanxi will have a two-day vacation.

After work, the couple went home together for a family gathering. Afterwards, Gu Lanxi took her two sisters-in-law to Beidaihe for a swim, while Lu Nanting went to a TV station to participate in a music program.

We won't see each other again until July.

July 18th is Lu Nanting's birthday. This month is very special for the two of them, and also for their fans.

Fans started planning birthday support activities as early as the beginning of June, and Gu Lanxi also began thinking about what birthday gift to give this year.

Gu Lanxi had been browsing the internet for creative ideas along the way, and only realized they had arrived when the driver reminded her.

As the weather grew hotter, wearing a mask became increasingly uncomfortable. Coupled with her short hair, Gu Lanxi found the heat even more unbearable and preferred to stay indoors even less.

If it weren't for the freshness, I might already be eating iced watermelon at home right now.

"Is the road congested during the evening rush hour?"

Seeing her push the door open and come in, she shook out a wet towel and started wiping her hands. Lu Nanting pulled out a chair on his left and asked her to sit down.

This restaurant is quite popular lately, and since it was a rare opportunity to make an appointment, the two of them brought all their staff with them.

Besides bodyguards, assistants, makeup artists, stylists, and their two agents, there were nearly twenty people in total. They set up two large round tables for ten people each.

"I feel fine. How's it going on your end?"

Gu Lanxi sat down and casually asked a question in return.

"Not bad, you performed consistently as always. How about you? Is it your first time participating in this kind of event? Are you finding it a bit difficult?"

"The brand was very well prepared, and the fans at the event were also very kind to me. I had a lot of fun and was very happy."

The two were talking quietly. Seeing that her fingers were red, they knew she had been rock climbing that day, so they took her hand and gently massaged it.

The employees of both studios are very familiar with each other, especially those around them, who often get together for meals throughout the year.

When they met, they had a great chat.

Soon, the waiter pushed the food cart in.

The mushroom hot pot featured several baskets filled with various kinds of mushrooms. Because each type of mushroom had different cooking requirements, specially trained servers stood by, watching the cooking process closely.

With outsiders present, many topics couldn't be discussed, and everyone could only focus on eating.

The meal was nerve-wracking, as I was afraid one of the flowers might be poisonous, but it was truly delicious and had an excellent texture, making it well worth the trip.

When the event ended and the staff left one by one, the two of them were too full to go home, so they held hands and went downstairs to shop in the mall.

The mountain delicacies shop is located in a bustling area, on the second floor of an eight-story shopping mall, which has all kinds of things.

The two walked and looked around, buying any interesting little gadgets they saw.

This couple is something else! One is only passionate about making money and doesn't like shopping. He only buys necessities when he goes shopping. The other doesn't care much about making money but likes to buy things, especially all sorts of strange and unusual items. He feels like he's made a profit when he finds something he likes and is always very happy.

Since getting married, the house has been filled with all sorts of interesting little gadgets, mostly bought by Lu Nanting.

Gu Lanxi never said anything to him. In fact, as long as he was willing to buy and shop, she was happy to follow behind, carrying bags and scanning QR codes.

For them, strolling around in peace and quiet like this was a rare treat, and they both really enjoyed it.

The two strolled from the second floor to the third floor and came across a newly opened cultural and creative store at the corner.

The two entered hand in hand. Lu Nanting quickly picked out a label printer; the labels were easy to peel off, and it could also design various cartoon patterns. He whispered to her:

"It's best to label the things you take out so that everyone knows they're yours and won't misuse them."

Gu Lanxi glanced at him but didn't say anything.

This person is incredibly generous; she's always lavish with those around her, but if something belongs to her, it has to be taken back exactly as it was taken out.

Once, someone took two of her markers and didn't return them. Lu Nanting frowned and was unhappy.

The two bought a label printer. Lu Nanting unpacked it, downloaded the app as they walked, and started playing with it.

He printed out a card with the words "Lu Nanting Exclusive" and slapped it onto Gu Lanxi's forehead.

Gu Lanxi just stood there, looking at him speechlessly.

After tearing it off and seeing what was inside, I couldn't help but laugh again.

Instead of calling him childish, he reached out with a look of interest:

"It's only fair if you paste one of my photos and I paste one of yours. Guess what I'll write?"

Lu Nanting looked on expectantly, handed her the phone, and then bent down to show her how to operate it.

Gu Lanxi understood, so she turned around, and secretly glanced back at him, afraid that he would peek.

Seeing him facing the wall, he immediately started typing.

Lu Nanting held the printer and saw a label slowly emerge.

[The most handsome man in the universe].

Before she could stick it on, Lu Nanting tore it off himself and stuck it on the cotton T-shirt on his chest.

Gu Lanxi turned her head to look at it, and then printed another one.

We are the best of friends in the world.

Lu Nanting picked up the printer, wishing he could crawl inside so he could see the contents beforehand.

As soon as the label popped out, it grinned widely, tore it off, and stuck it next to the first one.

The two had long forgotten about exchanging compliments; one was showering the other with compliments, while the other was thankfully not completely swayed. Gu Lanxi walked along, typing as she went, while Lu Nanting walked along, sticking on his compliments.

When she stopped, he couldn't help but urge her, "Don't worry that I can't handle it, just keep going!"

The two unknowingly went up to the fourth floor, where Haidilao was right in front of them.

Gu Lanxi, with her sharp ears, stuck out her index finger and made a "shh" gesture. Soon, Lu Nanting also heard the faint singing coming from ahead.

Lu Nanting is currently very popular. His songs are unique and interesting, and it's common to hear people playing them outside. However, it's a bit strange to see a group of people singing them together in a shopping mall.

The two men stealthily made their way to the door, when the female waitress, a woman in her forties, immediately stopped them. She handed them a bright orange rose and said apologetically:

"We're sorry, but we have a group booking tonight and can't accommodate any more guests. To express our apologies, we've prepared a small gift for you."

Gu Lanxi took the flowers, but couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "I heard someone singing inside?"

The waitress isn't a fan of celebrities, so even if the two big stars stood in front of her without masks, she might not recognize them.

When they asked, he answered frankly, "A group of fans are celebrating, but I don't really know what they're celebrating."

Upon hearing this, the two of them pretty much understood what was going on.

Their fans will find countless excuses to get together for a meal all year round.

Besides Haidilao, other common gathering places are hotels where people book entire venues for banquets.

According to incomplete statistics, on their wedding day, more than a hundred banquets were held simultaneously across the country in many cities. Except for the two of them, these banquets were not much different from wedding banquets.

On special occasions, such as when they win an award or it's their birthday, fans will order cakes and gather together to celebrate.

They had seen countless similar stories online, but this was the first time they had encountered one in person.

Even through the door, you could feel how lively the party was inside.

"Let's go, don't disturb everyone."

The two sneaked in and planned to sneak away, but the restroom was right next to the Haidilao restaurant in the passageway. Two women, nicknamed "Dragonfly Sisters," came back from the restroom and walked hand in hand to the door, just as they turned around.

These two "dragonfly sisters" just attended Gu Lanxi's event today. After spending half a day together offline, they also invited fans from both sides to their respective fan clubs for a get-together.

After leaving the event, Gu Lanxi didn't go home to change her clothes. Instead, she went straight to the restaurant. If you only looked at her eyes and figure, you wouldn't be 100% sure. But when you saw her outfit, the two Dragonfly Sisters' hearts pounded. Without saying a word, they each grabbed one of her and dragged her inside.

It has to be said that Little Dragonfly is the most aggressive player in the Chinese entertainment industry, both online and offline.

The couple, each carrying a label printer and covered in compliments from the wife, and one holding a free rose from the store and a cell phone, were completely bewildered when they were pulled inside.

If they were bad guys, Gu Lanxi could probably take them out in a couple of quick moves, but these two, she had seen them this afternoon.

Two amazing people, who are clearly die-hard fans of Lu Nanting, went through eight out of ten manicures in order to get her autograph and a photo. They finally climbed to the top and got the photo.

The two followed them inside and saw that their wedding photos and a calendar for the couple were hanging everywhere. On almost every table, there was an official doll that was sold with a vinyl gift box.

They were both stunned, and the fans watched quietly before covering their ears and screaming in unison!
They didn't bring any bodyguards, and when they went out shopping late at night and encountered something like this, they were completely panicked!

In this situation, there's no way to just run away.

Lu Nanting, with his extensive stage experience, immediately borrowed the lead performer's small bee, said "hello" twice, and took off his mask.

"You guys are singing off-key, everyone. Quiet down and listen to me sing, okay?"

Everyone immediately covered their mouths, not daring to utter a sound.

In addition to the 99 people who participated in the event today, there were also more than 200 people who did not enter the sports hall, yet they managed to remain completely silent.

There's nothing we can do about it; Lu Nanting is never a warm person. If he's unhappy, he'll just walk away. He only shows any affection to his fans when they go along with his wishes.

In short, you have to stroke a donkey in the right direction, not against it.

Fans who buy merchandise out of their own pockets and frequently participate in offline events are basically die-hard fans who know his temperament very well.

So, relying on his excellent voice, Lu Nanting sang "Gentle Lion" a cappella, waved goodbye to everyone, and generously took Gu Lanxi's hand as they left the Haidilao restaurant.

Passersby had already begun to gather outside the door, but fortunately the two acted quickly, ran downstairs, found their car, and drove away at top speed.

Thanks to Gu Lanxi's good memory, the two of them didn't take any detours and left the place in less than five minutes.

Even after they got home, they couldn't help but laugh.

Tonight's events were truly bizarre.

1. Bingjie likes to watch the excitement. Wherever there are many people, she can't help but be curious and wants to sneak over to see what's going on, and then she often makes the trending topics because of this.

This couple loves going out shopping; they've made headlines several times for shopping at malls, and they also enjoy browsing street stalls, playing claw machines, and tossing watermelons...

Upon closer reflection, the characters are quite vivid.

2. Sister Wang is so cunning. When eating, if she doesn't like something, she will loudly warn her younger brother not to touch it. When her brother goes through his rebellious phase, he will immediately take the food and eat it if she forbids him to touch it.

My older sister slammed her hand on the table, feigning concern: "My steamed buns! Don't touch them!"

The small steamed buns they made before were about the size of their fists. The younger brother grabbed one and ate it in a few bites.

Hahaha, that's hilarious!

I deliberately exposed him, and my younger brother realized he'd been tricked. He stomped his feet in anger, while my older sister almost laughed herself to death.

Then my younger brother stopped being angry and said that it was good that you were happy.

Er Mao is such a sweet-hearted baby. When eating, if his older sister likes something, he'll ask me to share it with her first.

When he sees his older sister after school, he'll happily give her a hug.

Today was the first day I rode my bike to take them to and from school, and they really enjoyed it, chatting happily the whole way.

This is probably what makes families with two children so interesting.

3. I found that my legs did not hurt as much when I rode a bike as when I walked. However, I went from two hours of localized exercise to one hour of full-body exercise, with each session lasting ten minutes or so. I did four sessions a day. When riding a bike, I made sure to keep my abs engaged, and the calories burned like crazy.

No wonder gyms have stationary cycling programs.

I'll learn some tips from fitness bloggers later, haha.
