The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 572 Don’t like it

The first time Gu Lanxi lost control of her emotions without anyone provoking her was on a snowy night.

She was a sleepy person to begin with, and in the early stages of her pregnancy, she needed to sleep for eleven or twelve hours every day to stay awake.

There's a concert before the new year, two roadshows, and I also need to pull myself together to walk the red carpet and win an award like "Goddess of the Year" or "Most Influential Person."

These are all things that must be done.

As for matters related to the studio and company, most of the time she could handle them online, which gave her a lot of flexibility in terms of time, so she would take any opportunity to sleep.

Over time, it becomes inevitable that day and night will be reversed.

She has always been a very self-disciplined person, and realizing that this was not good, she wanted to make some adjustments.

During the day, she tried her best to stay awake, thinking that the drowsiness would pass, but she couldn't hold on any longer and went to take a nap. She overslept and the sun was already setting, so she couldn't fall asleep at night.

Lu Nanting has a music award to receive today, but the event is being held in Shanghai.

Gu Lanxi figured she probably wouldn't be able to come back tonight, but she had only read half of a book called "40 Weeks of Pregnancy" when she heard the sound of a car pulling into a parking space.

Gu Lanxi had sharp ears, and with the night deep and quiet, even the slightest sound became noticeable.

She's been a bit clingy lately. As long as Lu Nanting finishes his work, he never attends any events or social gatherings. He always goes straight home. Everyone knows his situation and is quite understanding.

After putting down the book, Gu Lanxi immediately left the study.

When I pressed the elevator button, I saw the elevator coming up from the basement and stopping on the first floor. I knew that he was afraid of being disturbed while he was sleeping, so he usually went to the first floor to shower and change clothes. I wasn't in a hurry and slowly went downstairs. I saw Lu Nanting drinking water at the table.

"Still not asleep?"

"I slept too much during the day and can't fall asleep. I haven't been able to adjust my sleep schedule today either."

Gu Lanxi leaned over and sat down, resting her chin on her hands, looking a little troubled: "I think it's better for me to go to work on time. This is just too chaotic."

Accustomed to being busy, and knowing that there were many things waiting for her to do, she felt it was completely unnecessary to press the pause button and stay at home to rest during her pregnancy.

She has always been in good health, and she is not showing any signs of pregnancy. She also doesn't need to do heavy physical labor, so she's not that delicate.

Gu Lanxi has been quite sensitive lately.

Because of her pregnancy, she was treated like a panda by everyone around her. Even if she was just pouring a glass of water, the housekeeper would rush over to pour it for her, saying that if the water spilled on the floor, she might slip and fall...

Not to mention other aspects, everyone puts her first and treats her like a fragile person.

This made her feel like she had suddenly gone from an all-powerful superwoman to a useless little brat.

But these unpleasant thoughts can't be expressed.

Otherwise, it would feel like they don't know what's good for them.

Lu Nanting hadn't figured out how to respond, so he simply put down his water glass, unzipped his leather jacket, and took out a paper package:
"After leaving the event, as the car passed a street corner and waited for the red light, I saw an uncle selling roasted chestnuts on the side of the road. It was actually quite cold in Shanghai tonight; the wind was chilling to the bone. He had his hands tucked into the sleeves of his gray-blue cotton-padded jacket, was wearing a Lei Feng hat, had his neck hunched, and was carrying a small black faux leather bag that was peeling. He was stamping his feet on the spot because he was so cold."

"You had a sudden burst of kindness and went to patronize someone's business?"

"Yes, a lot of fans came to see me, and many people wrote you letters. The trunk was full. Even after I left, they were still waiting outside the venue, reluctant to leave. So I asked Xiao Jiang to buy chestnuts and deliver them to the fans."

"You even left me a packet?"

"Have you seen that pot? It was filled with a lot of black iron filings. When I was little, the owner would stir it with a spatula. Now it's all electric. You just turn it on and it stirs automatically."

"Yeah, I've seen it before."

"I sat in the car, a few meters away, watching the white smoke rise. There was a lamp on the stall, with a red casing and a dim yellow light."

"And then?" "At that moment, I suddenly missed home, missed you so much, wanted to see you, hug you, and ask you if you ate well today? Are you hungry? Are you sleepy? So I asked for a pack and kept it in my pocket."

Lu Nanting tilted his head slightly and gently patted her head: "Although it's not too hot anymore, it should still be just as sweet. Would you like to try one?"

He's always been a very articulate person, and he talks a lot on a regular basis. Lately, every time he goes out, he sees something new and interesting, and when he comes back, he happily tells her about it.

Gu Lanxi felt that all the anxiety and fear in her heart had been soothed by her lover's gentle care on this cold winter night.

She opened the paper bag and took out a chestnut.

"It's still warm."

Gu Lanxi smiled, pinched it, and tried to peel it, but for some reason the chestnut was particularly hard. She tried to pinch it several times, but couldn't get it open.

Lu Nanting poured another glass of water and was about to drink it when he saw that she couldn't peel it open. He reached out to help her, but she was staring blankly at him. In just two seconds, large tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What, what's wrong?"

She pulled out a tissue, and only after Lu Nanting wiped away her tears did she realize that she had been crying.

It's not that I don't know why.

"Am I really useless right now? I can't do anything right."

Lu Nanting took a deep breath, secretly regretting that he had avoided the topic earlier. He quickly pulled her into his arms and sat her down, peeling chestnuts for her while apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I've been a bit too nervous lately. You know, this is the first time I've encountered something like this, and I was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable or unhappy. I didn't know what to do, so I kept thinking, if I did everything for you and made things easier for you, would you feel better? If I spent more time with you, would you be less scared? If..."

Lately, he's been sticking to Gu Lanxi whenever he has free time. He's also taken over the affairs of their entertainment studio, not letting the staff bother him. As for family matters, he hasn't let her get involved at all.

In his mind, it would be wonderful if people who are busy all year round could lie down and enjoy a period of peaceful life without having to worry about anything.

But they forgot to ask Gu Lanxi herself what she really thought.

“Since I’ve been with you, I don’t have to worry about anything except work. You’ve taken care of everything at home and outside. I feel incredibly happy and my life is so peaceful. I want you to have the same kind of life, which is why I’m doing this.”

Tears wouldn't stop, like a broken faucet. Gu Lanxi covered her face, listening to his constant apologies and explanations. She wanted to say it was okay, that she was just being dramatic, but she could only sob and couldn't say it.

Lu Nanting knew that this was probably the situation everyone was talking about, so he didn't say anything more, but just pulled her closer to his arms and let her rest her head on his shoulder.

After he had peeled all the chestnuts out of the small bag, he saw that Gu Lanxi had already cried herself to sleep.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, and carried her upstairs.

At two o'clock in the morning, the group chat for Lao Lu's family, which was full of men, started ringing again.

What can I do to make her happy?

What should I eat to avoid vomiting?

[When you were pregnant with Wei Chen, what did you like to do most? What did you like to eat most?]

[@SecondBrother, where's Second Sister-in-law?]

[@Old Lu's Dad, what happened when Mom was pregnant with the three of us?]

……

Having two older brothers to cause trouble and a dad to bother is really great.

He can be a strategist when pursuing his wife, and he can continue to shine even when she is pregnant.

Everyone is so lucky to have such a youngest child.

Haha.
