Top-tier celebrity's nightly pampering, the abstinent doctor loses control and spoils her.

Gu Jinzhou immediately realized he had said the wrong thing, turned to look at Yan Huaijin, and his expression changed from arrogant to ingratiating in an instant.

Her voice softened considerably: "Ah Jin, I didn't mean it that way. I just spoke without thinking, please don't be angry... I know I was wrong..."

As she spoke, she cautiously tugged at Yan Huaijin's sleeve, blinking her eyes like a large dog that had done something wrong.

Yan Huaijin glanced at the person, said nothing, but his expression softened somewhat.

Seeing this, Lu Er couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Gu Jinzhou, could you be any more hypocritical?"

"Teacher Yan gave up his Best Actor status for you, willingly becoming your manager and cleaning up your messes every day. What is this? The ultimate form of being love-struck?"

Gu Jinzhou was speechless after being rebuked. He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but then felt he was in the wrong.

In the end, all he could do was glare at Lu Er and say, "That's different."

"What's different?"

Lu Er raised an eyebrow. "Besides, I'm not giving up my career. I've decided to go back to being a capitalist and stop working for others. From now on, please call me President Lu, thank you."

The turn of events came so suddenly that Gu Jinzhou didn't react for a moment: "What capitalist?"

"Go back to work at your own company."

Lu Er said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it better for me to go back to being a domineering CEO than to struggle in this industry like you?"

Ye Qingge couldn't help but laugh: "So you didn't retire from the entertainment industry to become a stay-at-home dad, you went back to being a boss?"

"Of course."

Lu Er raised her chin, "I want to make a lot of money and raise Dr. Song to be a noble lady."

Gu Jinzhou: "..."

Yan Huaijin took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Actually, I've never really agreed with the current online use of 'love-obsessed' as a derogatory term."

Ye Qingge became interested.

Yan Huaijin said in a calm voice, "In my opinion, only a truly sincere and passionate person will express their love for someone without reservation when they love them deeply."

"This is not naivety or irrationality, but rather the deepest and most earnest expression of emotion, a romance that lasts until death."

Halfway through her sentence, she looked at Gu Jinzhou and said, "Compared to those who dare not love, who are afraid of losing if they take it seriously, I will always applaud the courage in love."

Lu Er nodded: "Indeed. This capacity for passionate love is invaluable in this era."

Ye Qingge took a sip of tea: "Maybe being love-struck will hurt you, it will hurt. But whatever the outcome, it's better than being timid and hesitant, and never having truly loved at all."

Yan Huaijin's eyes held a kind of understanding and blessing from someone who had been through it all: "So I don't think your choice to leave the entertainment industry was because you were love-struck."

"You simply know what's most important to you, so don't be influenced by online opinions."

"It takes immense courage to give up the glory you already have in order to pursue a more authentic life and love."

"Therefore, I respect you. I respect your courage, your sincerity, and your determination to live for yourself."

Lu Er raised her glass and clinked it against Yan Huaijin's, the glass making a crisp sound: "Thank you, Teacher Yan."

A lot of people online were criticizing him for being love-struck, so it was really hard not to be moved by Yan Huaijin's comforting words.

Yan Huaijin smiled and drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Jinzhou bit his lip and raised his glass as well: "I just think it's a pity you're leaving the entertainment industry, but if you feel happier doing it, then go for it."

Lu Er raised an eyebrow: "Oh, so you've learned to speak human language now?"

"snort!"

Gu Jinzhou clung to Yan Huaijin's arm and acted coquettishly, but her words were sharp and sarcastic, "I'm only doing this for A-Jin's sake."

Ye Qingge also raised her glass: "Whether you're an actor or a CEO, I wish you all the best. If you ever sign any artists, remember to contact me!"

Gu Jinzhou chimed in, "Anyway, we're all just working for someone else. If there's a need, count me in."

The four clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Setting down her glass, Lu Er looked at the three people in front of her, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

It's not easy to make true friends in this circle.

He was lucky to have met these people.

Although one of them has a particularly sharp tongue.

"Thank you. Although we'll no longer be in the same industry, I'll remember this friendship. If I ever start an entertainment company, I'll definitely sign you guys."

Ye Qingge smiled and said, "No need to thank me. We're mutually beneficial. You wouldn't treat me unfairly."

"No problem." Lu Er said generously, "I'll definitely give you the highest percentage."

"Don't go back on your word, Mr. Lu, or I'll definitely expose you on Weibo."

Lu Er: "You're so childish."

Gu Jinzhou leaned against Yan Huaijin, like a docile little wolfhound: "I'm still a 300-month-old baby."

Lu Er: When people have no shame, they can be invincible.

Yan Huaijin felt humiliated and helplessly pushed the person off him: "You are a 300-month-old baby, not a 3-year-old baby."

Gu Jinzhou sat up aggrievedly: "You always call me 'baby,' so why do you change your tune as soon as you see Lu Er?"

"Do you still like him...?"

Lu Er: "..."

Yan Huaijin blushed, suppressing the urge to hit him: "In public, can't you think before you speak?"

Gu Jinzhou felt even more aggrieved: "I didn't say... when you like to call me baby."

Lu Er: "..."

Ye Qingge laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "I understand, you don't need to show off anymore..."

When the show ended, Ye Qingge left early because she had a scene to film early the next morning.

Yan Huaijin and Gu Jinzhou were the last two remaining.

Lu Er asked, "Do you need me to take you?"

Yan Huaijin shook his head: "No need, the driver is waiting by the roadside. How are you going to get back?"

"Dr. Song is coming to pick me up; he's already on his way."

Gu Jinzhou started nagging again: "You keep talking about Dr. Song. Would you die without him?"

Lu Er, not to be outdone, glanced at the person clinging to Yan Huaijin and said, "You 300-month-old baby, without Teacher Yan, you can't even walk anymore?"

Yan Huaijin felt a headache coming on: "I think the two of you combined are no more than three years old..."

Gu Jinzhou suddenly stood up straight and looked at Lu Er earnestly: "I'm sorry about what happened before. I sincerely apologize to you..."

Lu Er paused for a moment, then smiled: "Teacher Yan has already apologized for you, and I didn't take it to heart."

Yan Huaijin held Gu Jinzhou's hand and said, "Contact me anytime if anything comes up. Even though we're no longer in the industry, friends will always be friends."

"Thank you, Teacher Yan."

After seeing the two off, Lu Er looked at the city in the night.

The evening breeze was already cool, and it felt refreshing and real on my face.

Take out your phone and open WeChat.

The latest message in the pinned chat box was sent five minutes ago.

Song Jingmo: [Is it over? I've arrived.]

Lu Er smiled and typed back: 【I saw the car, and I missed you.】

Song Jingmo replied almost instantly: 【I miss you too. Be careful, no rush.】

Inside the car, Lu Er leaned back in her seat, her mind at peace.

Song Jingmo handed over the thermos: "There's some hangover soup inside. Even though you didn't drink much, drink some to avoid feeling unwell tomorrow."

Lu Er smiled: "My Dr. Song is so thoughtful."

Song Jingmo affectionately flicked the tip of his nose: "I'm only considerate to you."
