The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 59 Locked the door behind his back
We have plenty of money at home, and we buy similar items in bulk, just in case we don't have enough to go around when guests come.

Gu Lanxi found the words somewhat familiar, and after a moment's thought, she realized that these were the exact words she had spoken to Lu Nanting just a few days ago.

I was speechless for a moment, but I couldn't say anything.

Lu Nanting was just unsure which set of bedding Gu Jiayi used when she came over, so he brought a new set. Gu Jiayi, however, took it as him treating her with great respect.

Although it's a bit late to get back to Baoding, there are hotels everywhere outside.

She didn't even ask to stay overnight, but her brother-in-law offered to make up her bed. Gu Jiayi decided to stay there for the night before leaving.

After all, her ex-boyfriend was incredibly gentle and refined before he was exposed. Who knew he would suddenly transform, hitting people whenever he wanted and becoming violent whenever he wanted?

These days, there are too many people who are two-faced.

Although Lu Nanting performed quite well, she still wanted to take the opportunity to observe him more closely.

There was no way around it; her daughter was just too naive. How could she know the countless tricks and deceitful faces men possessed?
The two had always slept in separate rooms, but Gu Lanxi never expected that this guy would be so good at seizing opportunities! He took the chance to move his room.

She was afraid her cousin would find out they weren't sleeping in the same room, so she didn't dare say a word.

How to describe the timing?

Just one word, absolutely!

Lu Nanting quickly tidied up the second bedroom and even patted the new pillowcases he had just put on.

"I don't know what kind of pillow you like, we have both high and low ones."

The air conditioner was blasting air, and the effect was quite noticeable. Lu Nanting remained calm and explained to her with a smile:

"The house has been uninhabited for a long time, so it's quite dusty. These past few days, because of the news about my wedding, I haven't dared to hire a cleaning service. My wife is also too busy, so I've been cleaning it myself, which might not be as thorough."

Lu Nanting moved so quickly that Gu Jiayi didn't know he had been staying in this house for the past few days, and just thought he was enthusiastic and hardworking.

Good guy!
Not only do they make the beds and cook, they also clean the house!
Thinking back to that shrimp salad, she had previously thought he was being clever by using ready-made vinaigrette dressing to make something to fool her, but she had been eating a diet for years and could tell at a glance that he had made the dressing himself.

This is indeed a nutritious and healthy dish to eat on a summer night, and it doesn't take long to make. It's made with real care.

Gu Jiayi's affection for her brother-in-law reached its peak!
He comes from a good family, has a good temper, is capable, and so far, he doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives.

After all, since she entered the room, Lu Nanting's gaze had never lingered on her face for more than a second; instead, his eyes kept drifting towards her sister.

The first impression was absolutely fantastic!
Gu Jiayi finally smiled: "I came in a hurry and didn't know you two were getting married. I'll make up for it with the gift later."

Lu Nanting tugged at the blanket one last time, a gentle smile on his face:
"No rush, we're both fully booked with work this year and don't plan to have children anytime soon, so we've decided to postpone the wedding."

Fearing she might misunderstand, Gu Lanxi quickly said, "It was my idea. I've already discussed it with his family."

Gu Jiayi nodded, "That's fine too."

Knowing that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and worried that Gu Jiayi would feel uncomfortable, Lu Nanting said, "You two have a good chat, call me if you need anything," and then went to the gym for a jog.

It's fair to say that she has a lot of self-awareness as an artist.

Gu Jiayi didn't praise her husband in front of her cousin, but waited until they entered the tea room before quietly asking her:

"Manman, how's the dowry preparation going? I have a list here, would you like to take a look?"

Judging from Lu Nanting's words, the wedding is going to be a big event, so the Gu family can't lose face.

My cousin is young, and although she has plenty of money, she might not be very clear about what to prepare for her wedding or what the procedures are.

She didn't tell anyone about the marriage, which shows that she didn't want the elders in the clan to handle these matters for her, so she didn't bring it up.

Gu Jiayi had a previous relationship, and they even went through the betrothal ceremony, but it ended in a breakup. So she was fairly familiar with the basic procedures for getting married, and couldn't help but worry about her:
"Did you two choose an auspicious day to get your marriage certificate? There was no grand betrothal ceremony, no dowry, and you've just started living together like this without any proper ceremony?"

The more she talked, the more anxious she became.

Whether it's respectable or not is another matter; even starting a company requires choosing an auspicious date!
Arranging a marriage between two families is such a momentous event that no amount of caution is too much! This is far too hasty!

Although Gu Jiayi is casual about dating, only caring about feelings and not caring about breakups and reconciliations, she values ​​marriage very much.

After all, marriages in wealthy families involve the division of large sums of money, and various things need to be prepared in advance, otherwise the impact of a breakup would be huge, unlike dating.

"Customs are different here in the capital. What do your mother-in-law and the others mean?"

Gu Lanxi entered the tea room, took a jar of Baihao Yinzhen from the shelf, patiently brewed it, and then answered her cousin's question:
“My mother-in-law’s idea is that she will do the same for us as the two sisters-in-law did. A few days ago, she sent over a list, which should be the betrothal gifts. As for the dowry, in addition to the traditional items, I plan to prepare according to the list.”

The categories don't have to be the same, but the values ​​should be roughly equal.

She didn't need to do that, after all, all the property under her name belongs to her, not her family, and she has no brothers or sisters.

But marriage is a big deal, and she didn't want to be perfunctory and let people look down on her, saying things like "an actress marrying into a wealthy family" or other such nonsense.

Girls who grow up in poverty often have a stronger sense of self-esteem.

Although Gu Jiayi felt that her decision was unnecessary, she thought that no matter how much she prepared, it would be brought into her small family, so she didn't say anything more.

People live for their pride, just as trees live for their bark. Everyone cares about different things. Never teach someone to do something without having experienced their suffering yourself.

The two sisters have a really good relationship, so Gu Lanxi took out the list and showed it to her.

Gu Jiayi read it carefully and let out a long sigh:

"It seems your mother-in-law is very satisfied with you, that's good."

The Zhang family lived just two streets away from the Gu family, and Gu Jiayi naturally knew about this famous man from Guangzhou.

She's even seen Zhang Ruolan occasionally bring her child back to her parents' home!
Rumors circulate about how amazing Mrs. Lu is, and how she treats her daughter-in-law so well and acts with such generosity and open-mindedness. It seems that life will be easy for Manman in the future.

Putting everything else aside, even she herself wasn't confident that her husband's family would immediately give her such a large sum of money after the marriage.

“I’d like to have some gold jewelry made. My neighbor recommended a gold shop. Jiayi, could you take a look and see what you think of these designs the shop sent me?”

There are specific rules regarding what gold jewelry to wear at a wedding.

Lu's mother definitely knew these things, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Otherwise, given Lu's mother's personality, she might think she wanted gold jewelry and buy it for her without hesitation, which would be too embarrassing.

Gu Jiayi quickly leaned over and looked at it carefully.

After they finished reading, they realized it was past eleven o'clock, so they yawned and went back to their rooms.

As soon as Gu Lanxi entered the master bedroom, she saw Lu Nanting come out after taking a shower, wearing only shorts, and tilting his head to dry his hair.

Gu Lanxi chuckled and locked the door behind her.

Lu Nanting was not flustered at all when he saw this.

He didn't turn on the main light, but only the two white jade wall lamps shaped like lilies of the valley by the bedside and the dim floor lamp in the dressing room.

He stood slightly turned to the side at the door of the dressing room, the warm light shining on him, revealing his clearly defined abs.

Hormones are overwhelming.

I have to say, it's really tempting.

Gu Lanxi didn't flinch or avoid him, staring intently at him without blinking, which made Lu Nanting feel uneasy and nervous.

This man needs to be taught a lesson!
Before closing the door, President Gu thought to himself.
