Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Xu Hongdou's words.

Li Haoyu did indeed take it to heart.

The funniest thing was that the two of them sat down to watch the movie again. Surprisingly, it didn't affect their viewing at all, and they could continue watching perfectly well.

Xu Hongdou had already anticipated that Li Haoyu might make some underhanded moves, but she didn't expect his underhanded moves to be so outrageous.

She knew that touching hands was something she couldn't escape.

But she didn't expect Li Haoyu to take her hand away.

Xu Hongdou's cheeks began to burn again at the thought. If she hadn't said those words, Li Haoyu might have continued to move his hand down...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but steal another glance at Li Haoyu, only to find that Li Haoyu seemed to be really engrossed in watching the movie.

In fact, Li Haoyu was really watching the movie attentively.

Especially since this plot is really outrageous.

The female lead effortlessly gains the male lead's devoted and affectionate love, and from beginning to end, she relies on his love to solve all kinds of problems in her life, without showing any self-growth.

Isn't this saying: What's the point of girls studying, working hard, and going out into the world if they can't find a rich boyfriend?

That's absolutely outrageous.

It wasn't that Li Haoyu was truly absorbed in the story; at least, he might have been unable to resist if he didn't find something to distract him. After all, he still had to keep his promise to Xu Hongdou.

He's not the kind of person who goes back on his word.

The torturous movie is finally over. The ending, though melodramatic, was at least a happy one. That's not bad; at least it didn't force-feed me filth.

The two walked out of the movie theater, and neither Xu Hongdou nor Li Haoyu said a word.

Li Haoyu disliked this feeling and broke the silence first. "Xu Hongdou, why are you acting like a wilted eggplant? I didn't do anything wrong the whole time."

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say, "You have the nerve to say that? You were all so full of sweet talk before. But once the lights are off, you become completely inhuman. You really are no good."

Li Haoyu gave a helpless look.

Xu Hongdou said with a surprised look.

"Why are you still so defiant? Am I wrong? You scumbag, it's one thing at home, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant outside."

"snort."

Xu Hongdou's pretty nose twitched slightly. "Let me tell you this properly. I'll let your outrageous behavior in the movie theater go this time, but if you're still like this when we get back to the courtyard, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As Xu Hongdou spoke, she waved her little fist.

Xu Hongdou didn't really know what to do with Li Haoyu, since he was too shameless and wouldn't listen to reason, leaving her with no solution.

Li Haoyu has actually recovered by now:

He said directly, "I don't know what you're shy about. We're a respectable couple, as everyone knows. You're not going to take off your act of pretending to be my girlfriend, are you?"

"Just watch yourself, I don't want to warn you again!"

Xu Hongdou was clearly getting a little anxious.

Her tone also became noticeably stern. Li Haoyu had rarely seen Xu Hongdou in this state before, and to be honest, he had never used it before.

Seeing that Li Haoyu didn't respond, Xu Hongdou became even more arrogant.

Xu Hongdou launched into a tirade against Li Haoyu.

"Li Haoyu, you're truly outrageous!"

Li Haoyu was completely confused.

Xu Hongdou complained, "Besides the maid outfit, are you really not going to care about anything else regarding the startup?"

"Are you talking about the guesthouse?"

Li Haoyu understood.

"Hmm! Otherwise, what did you think I was talking about?"

Xu Hongdou spoke with conviction.

"That doesn't make sense. Didn't we agree to a division of labor? Isn't it good enough that I don't interfere with your running of the guesthouse?"

"You really don't know how lucky you are. Where can you find an angel investor like me who is foolish, rich, and doesn't expect anything in return? If it were someone else, they would have swallowed you whole, leaving not even bones."

Xu Hongdou glared at her. "So what? Did I force you to do this? If you're not happy, you can leave!"

Li Haoyu shook his head helplessly, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Then I'll listen to you."

Li Haoyu discovered that ever since he and Xu Hongdou started dating, there was no logic to it.

It's true that once girls fall in love, they all become love-obsessed, and even a girl with high emotional intelligence like Xu Hongdou is no exception.

Because once they're in a relationship, they stop talking about logic and start focusing on their inner feelings, so there's no need to worry about whether reasoning is wrong.

The most important thing is to connect with them emotionally, address their inner feelings, and figure out how to speak in a way that makes them willing to listen.

Li Haoyu said, "Then I'll go take a look with you. It should be almost finished with the renovations by now. What do you think?"

"Hmph, if I weren't angry, would you not have come with me?" Xu Hongdou said, a little annoyed.

Li Haoyu complained, "How can these be the same thing?"

"How can it not be the same thing? You're never really using your mind for anything worthwhile!"

"Hey, I just have basic human needs like food and sex, isn't that normal?"

Li Haoyu said with a smile.

Xu Hongdou was furious and was about to strike Li Haoyu's waist. However, Li Haoyu was prepared this time and naturally wouldn't let Xu Hongdou succeed so easily.

Xu Hongdou said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's take a look now. ☺👤 ❻❾s𝓱ยЖ.ς𝔬ϻ 🍫👑"

Li Haoyu said with a grin, "Judging from how anxious you are, do you want to recount what happened there last time?"

Xu Hong stomped her feet in anger, "Don't bring up what happened last time again, or else... or else I'll make you regret it."

"Okay, fine. I'll agree to your request this time because I feel sorry for you. Get in the car and I'll take you to see the guesthouse."

"Hmph, I'll make you pay after this is all over."

Li Haoyu said, "Then I'll go get the car. You stay here and don't move. I'll go get the car and come over."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu. "I'm not your daughter. Don't make these silly jokes anymore. Do you really think I've never seen your back?"

.........

Not long after that.

Li Haoyu then took Xu Hongdou there.

From the outside, the coffee shop on the first floor looks like it's almost finished being renovated, and the newly purchased coffee equipment is mostly in place, but the packaging is still intact.

Li Haoyu lay face down on the table, sunlight streaming in.

It made him feel lazy and listless.

Xu Hongdou was much more excited than Li Haoyu: "I have to say, the renovation team you found is pretty good. The decoration here is quite stylish."

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at Xu Hongdou without saying a word.

Isn't that obvious? He hired the best design team in the country. If they can't even run a coffee shop properly, they might as well quit.

Xu Hongdou nudged Li Haoyu on the table and said, "Don't just stand there, give me some advice, okay?"

Li Haoyu looked up and said, "How about we get two cats? Don't you think it'll be too lonely otherwise?"

Xu Hongdou was a little unresponsive now.

"Getting a cat? It doesn't seem like a bad idea. But why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"

Li Haoyu nodded: "Because people are getting lazier and lazier nowadays, they don't have the time or energy to raise cats themselves."

"If you can go to a coffee shop where you can pet cats and drink coffee at the same price, why not?"

Xu Hongdou lowered her head helplessly after hearing this: "I thought you were so kind-hearted, but I didn't expect you to still be thinking about making money."

Li Haoyu couldn't take it anymore.

He sat up from the table.

"I don't like listening to you talk like that. You were the one who said I wasn't interfering, and now that I'm offering such a constructive suggestion, you're criticizing me too."

"Being a man is really hard, but being Xu Hongdou's man is even harder," Li Haoyu complained with a long face.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, I admit you did a good job this time. But I have a question: why do you insist on keeping it at the shop? We could have our own cat, couldn't we?"

Li Haoyu shook his head like a rattle drum.

"I can barely support you, why would I need a cat? If you keep cats in the shop, I can even pay the staff extra to take care of them."

"But if it's just the two of us raising a cat, I can already foresee the future."

"That means you get to do all the dirty and hard work, you're responsible for petting the cat, and I have to punish the cat when it does something bad. What's most infuriating is that the cat might only be affectionate towards you."

"Isn't that right?"

Li Haoyu said.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, you're quite honest. It's true that getting a cat will lower your status in the family. I didn't expect you to be so self-aware in this regard."

"That's why I won't create a competitor for myself," Li Haoyu said seriously.

Xu Hongdou said something that revealed Li Haoyu's hidden thoughts.

After saying that, she went to inspect the results of the renovation.

Xu Hongdou looked through the entire room, not even missing a crack in the floor in the corner. She found a cushion, knelt down, and examined it for a long time.

His serious expression left Li Haoyu speechless.

He didn't even dare to imagine whether Xu Hongdou would turn into Sherlock Holmes after they got married. Li Haoyu waited for more than two hours before Xu Hongdou completed the entire inspection of the first floor.

Xu Hongdou nodded in satisfaction, finding no fault with it.

She nodded. "This place is really nice. I didn't expect you to handle this so well."

Li Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief; it was really not easy to satisfy Xu Hongdou.

He waved his hand, about to take Xu Hongdou away.

Xu Hongdou remained completely still.

This puzzled Li Haoyu. "Isn't there no problem? Why aren't you leaving?"

At this moment, Xu Hongdou suddenly spoke up.

"I knew you'd waste money. Here, don't look at it like that again next time."

Xu Hongdou took out a bank card and placed it in Li Haoyu's hand.

Li Haoyu asked curiously, "What do you mean by this? I already accepted the previous transfer, so why are you giving me money again now? Do you have too much money to burn and want me to go out and have some fun?"

"Please, do you really think I'm stupid? I've been in the hotel industry for so many years. I've done the inspections several times, how could there be no problems at all?"

"The biggest problem is that this situation is not a problem."

"This level of construction quality is clearly not what we agreed on beforehand. I know you have too much money to burn, but I really don't have any."

"This is my last little savings account, my last reserve. If you do this again, I really won't be able to survive."

Xu Hongdou said somewhat angrily.

Li Haoyu looked at the bank card in his hand, then at Xu Hongdou, who was standing to the side, fuming.

He couldn't help but laugh; he hadn't seen such a silly girl in ages. While other girls were worried their boyfriends wouldn't spend enough money, Xu Hongdou was the complete opposite.

She had always hoped to weather the storms with her loved one. Although Li Haoyu hadn't checked the balance in his bank card, he knew perfectly well that there wasn't much money left.

After all, if Xu Hongdou had enough savings, she wouldn't have borrowed money from Xu Hongmi. Li Haoyu might not know the rest, but Xu Hongdou was looking forward to the day she would borrow money from Xu Hongmi.

Li Haoyu witnessed the whole thing. Xu Hongdou paced back and forth in the living room for a long time, then sat restlessly for a whole pot of water, and then spent another half hour preparing.

Only then did I muster the courage to call and ask to borrow money.

Therefore, Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou with eyes full of tenderness.

"What kind of look is that? It's so cheesy, it's giving me goosebumps."

Xu Hongdou looked uncomfortable.

Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou's funny appearance.

Li Haoyu laughed and said, "Then I'll have to come back a few more times, and you'll really go bankrupt. You won't be haggling with me forever, and that won't be a sure-fire way for me to make a profit."

"Get lost, you're always full of bad ideas."

Xu Hongdou couldn't stand Li Haoyu's cheesy talk anymore and quickly interrupted him.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but pat Xu Hongdou's head.

"Otherwise, are you still thinking of running away? Do you think you'll ever meet a man as outstanding as me again?"

"Just talk, don't touch me, especially don't rub my head!"

Xu Hongdou issued a righteous and eloquent protest.

After saying that, she put up a fierce resistance.

The two then started playing and joking around.

Xu Hongdou's height is a huge disadvantage; she's all over the place, all baring her teeth and brandishing her arms.

Li Haoyu only needed to press a finger against Xu Hongdou's forehead, and all her attacks missed. Xu Hongdou was really getting angry, so she simply headbutted Li Haoyu.

In the end, Li Haoyu still blocked me. It's so infuriating!

Xu Hongdou wasn't one to give up so easily. She suddenly exerted her strength, trying to break free from Li Haoyu's grasp. The result was predictable; Li Haoyu's physical strength, enhanced by the system, was no joke.

Let alone a weak woman like Xu Hongdou, even a strong man wouldn't be able to do much better.

Li Haoyu casually and easily resolved her error correction. But after a while, Li Haoyu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

How can it be so soft?

This feels wrong.

Li Haoyu looked down and saw that Xu Hongdou's expression had changed drastically.

She stared intently at Li Haoyu, furious!
