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

Guan Juer's two colleagues were very happy.

Their faces lit up with smiles, and they hurriedly thanked them, saying, "This is too kind of you. It's not appropriate for us to receive such an expensive gift on our first meeting."

However, that's what they said.

But he never put down the gift bag in his hand for a moment.

Li Haoyu just smiled.

"This is nothing special, so please accept it without worry. However, if Guan Guan needs your help with anything at work in the future, I still hope you can help her."

One of the girls nodded in agreement, her eyes fixed on the gift in her hand.

Li Haoyu felt that if he hadn't been there...

She must have been itching to open the gift a long time ago.

Guan Juer's company is, after all, a top-tier financial institution, so they have a certain level of sophistication. The other party clearly knew that his gifts were all designer brands.

The other, prettier girl was noticeably calmer in the face of the gift.

However, Li Haoyu realized that she was pretending to be calm.

Because her eyes betrayed her.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Haoyu's Bentley.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the Bentley logo.

She was about to say something.

Li Haoyu simply waved goodbye and took his leave.

They really think they're something special, not even considering their own looks.

Besides, even if she were beautiful enough, Li Haoyu wouldn't want to make a move on her.

He is never short of female company, and the women in the finance industry are indeed a mixed bag.

The general impression people have of women in the finance industry is:

They may be beautiful, but that makes them mere playthings in the hands of powerful figures. Being a person is hard, being a woman is hard, and being a woman in the financial world is even harder.

What frisbee, paddleboard, high-end game?

There are also those large-scale financial parties that have been low-key for a long time but still have a market presence.

Even men in the finance industry are saying: "Don't marry a woman in finance." After all, nobody wants to run into their girlfriend in a commercial karaoke bar at two or three in the morning.

Isn't Guan Juer appealing?

Guan Juer, in the passenger seat, saw Li Haoyu return.

She couldn't help but say, "How come you prepared gifts in advance, and even gifts for my colleague?"

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "It's a little secret. I'll tell you later if you behave well."

He deliberately didn't say it.

There are techniques to getting along with your partner, and keeping things fresh is of utmost importance.

Actually, there's nothing special about gifts.

It's not that he had some kind of precognitive ability.

But years of life experience taught Li Haoyu one thing.

Just like never going to someone's house empty-handed.

The same applies to dating; you can't be completely indifferent. Even if the other person doesn't ask for or need it, giving them a small gift each time you meet is always a heartwarming gesture.

The value of the gift itself is not important.

You don't even need to ask the girl what she likes. A flower by the roadside, a bottle of yogurt you buy casually, or a serious photo you take of her will all do.

If you do it once or twice, the other person might say you're faking it.

But as long as you persist, no girl, no matter what kind, can remain unmoved.

Li Haoyu always keeps a variety of gifts in his trunk, so he can easily accommodate multiple girls and any anniversaries that might be forgotten.

Guan Juer is currently wearing a pair of blue jeans.

Simple yet flattering, her delicate face, without much makeup, wore a smile.

"Fine, don't tell me then. It's been so long since I've seen you, but you still love to keep me in suspense."

Li Haoyu glanced at her calmly.

"Your attempt to provoke me is quite obvious. I told you, once you satisfy me, I'll tell you anything."

"Hmm, so why did you come to see me in such a hurry?"

"What exactly are we supposed to do?"

Li Haoyu's expression turned serious: "You'll find out when we get there."

The atmosphere suddenly became quite awkward.

Li Haoyu had been in charge of the previous chats.

But this time he didn't bring up the topic himself, which made Guan Juer seem a little embarrassed.

After a while, Guan Juer suddenly asked casually.

Can I ask you a question?

"Speak?"

Li Haoyu was focused on the car and only glanced at her.

He then focused his attention back on the steering wheel.

"What exactly is our relationship now?"

Guan Juer asked.

As expected, Li Haoyu handled the situation with a series of cold treatments.

Even Guan Juer, who has always been as calm and composed as a chrysanthemum, has some minor emotional outbursts and a sense of crisis that she is unaware of.

Li Haoyu parked the car on the side of the road and then looked at her and said.

"What do you think?"

Guan Juer hesitated.

"I used to think they were a couple, but now I'm not so sure."

"We've already kissed, so of course we're a couple. Otherwise, what do you think our relationship is?"

"They can't be lovers, can they?"

Li Haoyu's tone was very confident.

His tone was also full of unquestionable authority.

Guan Juer was taken aback at first.

Then I heard what Li Haoyu said.

She couldn't help but pout.

"But you haven't contacted me in so long. Not even..."

Guan Juer couldn't continue speaking.

What she really wanted to say was that Li Haoyu hadn't formally confessed his feelings to her yet.

However, Guan Juer was still too embarrassed to say it aloud.

That would make it seem like she was actively seeking pleasure.

She couldn't bring herself to say it to Li Haoyu.

This made Guan Juer miss the times when the two of them chatted by typing.

The Li Haoyu we chatted with was completely different from his current aggressive self. He was not only witty and humorous but also offered comforting words. When Guan Juer was being scolded by her boss, Li Haoyu would even tell some corny jokes.

For example, a shark stuns a female shark and takes two photos. When he gets to the police station, the officer asks him why, and he says, feeling wronged, "I just wanted to take two photos of her stunning the shark."

To be honest.

When Guan Juer first heard this lame joke, she didn't find it particularly funny.

She was amused by what Li Haoyu said next.

At that time, she asked Li Haoyu, "I understand the wedding photos, but why take thirty-eight?"

Li Haoyu explained to her, "It's International Women's Day!"

"To make you laugh, I even used a taboo pun in a corny joke. That would get me docked pay in a stand-up comedy performance."

There are many similar cases.

There's never a dull moment when chatting with Li Haoyu.

The only downside is that sometimes she gets so into chatting that she stays up too late. Guan Juer has had trouble getting out of bed several times and almost missed her appointment.

Li Haoyu looked at Guan Juer's hesitant manner.

He put his hand on Guan Juer's shoulder.

"You don't miss me too much, do you?"

Guan Juer blushed.

She retorted, "I didn't, I just felt like I was missing a confession."

Li Haoyu said with a hint of smugness, "So that's the simple reason. Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation. But that's a matter for later."

"But something surprised me; I didn't expect you to also value a sense of ritual."

"If two people have feelings for each other, do they need all this fancy stuff?"

Guan Juer was speechless.

She felt that Li Haoyu was making excuses.

Guan Juer originally had a lot to say.

But he still didn't say a word.

Guan Juer was very upset.

It would be too embarrassing to bring it up now.

But... it would be too embarrassing to say nothing at all.

…………

Confessing his feelings was actually no challenge for Li Haoyu at all.

Is love a war? Does confessing first mean you lose?

This is not without reason.

It wasn't that Li Haoyu was too embarrassed to admit it.

After all, he has done countless things that are even more shameless than this.

Li Haoyu felt that dating was simply dating, and there weren't so many rules and regulations. To put it bluntly, it was about first being attracted to someone's looks, and then sparks flying.

Instead of overthinking, let's just go for it.

Only in that way can you be sure of your truest feelings.

Confessing one's feelings is a natural and inevitable thing that happens when both parties have deep enough feelings for each other; there is no need to force it.

So even if you genuinely like a girl, it doesn't prevent the two of you from having intimate contact.

If you can hold hands, then hold hands; if you can put your arm around someone's shoulder, then put your arm around them; if you can kiss, then don't hesitate, just go for it.

There's nothing unreasonable about booking a hotel room when things get heated.

If they haven't slept at all, and they're still spouting lovey-dovey nonsense, that's just ridiculous.

Isn't that just a self-hypnotized simp?

However, aside from a brief kiss.

Li Haoyu has never done anything excessive to Guan Juer.

It's because Guan Juer is a good girl. She's neither as open-minded as Qu Xiaoxiao, nor does she use her beauty as a bargaining chip to change her fate like Fan Shengmei.

That's why he didn't touch the fatty meat that was already in his mouth.

At least that's the case for now.

However, Guan Juer herself hadn't realized the crisis, and was even actively courting it. Wasn't this a test of her willpower?

Li Haoyu was thinking all this, but he still had a smile on his face.

He glanced at Guan Juer again.

She is still very beautiful.

The most prominent feature is that her skin is really white.

The kind that's so white it practically glows.

With her delicate and refined features, she really looks like a Barbie doll. Especially in a place like a car, she appears even more beautiful and charming.

She is truly a beauty blessed by nature.

Guan Juer is wearing no makeup this time. With a little makeup, her beauty would rise even further. In terms of looks alone, she's on par with many female celebrities.

Guan Juer was also pondering what Li Haoyu had said.

She fell silent.

Guan Juer wasn't as shameless as Li Haoyu, who wore his emotions on his sleeve.

A variety of emotions swirled in my mind.

She suddenly raised her head and let out a long sigh, looking at Li Haoyu with pleading eyes, as if she still wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?"

Li Haoyu asked.

"I think... there's a problem with our relationship."

She bit her lip and spoke softly, as if she were pouring out her grievances.

She spoke with a hint of excitement.

"Is it because you've gotten to know me better that you think I'm boring? I admit, I'm just an ordinary girl. If you really don't like me, you can just say so."

"Haha, so that's what you were thinking. No wonder you were behaving so strangely."

Li Haoyu burst out laughing.

Guan Juer became even angrier when she saw Li Haoyu acting like this.

"I used to always doubt myself, thinking no one would ever see me. I finally waited for you, and you wouldn't even confess your feelings to me. Now you're mocking me like this."

"Is it that funny? I know I'm just an ordinary person, I just hope to find someone who truly loves me. Why are you treating me like this?"

Guan Juer's voice trembled slightly with a hint of tears, her tone filled with bitterness.

If we let her keep talking, she might just start crying in the car.

Li Haoyu: ……

His lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

Li Haoyu actually had a lot of questions.

Actually, he really wants to say something to Guan Juer right now.

"Really? I don't believe it."

However, Li Haoyu still retained some rationality.

If that's really the case, even Guan Juer would be tempted to hit him.

Li Haoyu stared intently at Guan Juer for a long time without saying a word.

He really made Guan Juer uncomfortable.

Why are you staring at me?

Li Haoyu smiled.

I wanted to see how someone as beautiful as you could say such outrageous things. If even you are considered ordinary, then I'm no ordinary passerby either.

Li Haoyu reached out and wanted to pinch her cheek.

"You're just a liar; your words are better than your deeds."

Guan Juer looked at him, her face flushed.

She also angrily slapped Li Haoyu's hand away.

However, her face also turned red.

Guan Juer stared straight ahead, not daring to look at Li Haoyu again.

Despite the Bentley having a large interior space, Guan Juer now felt like she had nowhere to escape.

After a long pause, Guan Juer said, "Maybe I should go. Thank you so much for coming to see me today. You even gave my colleague a gift. Consider it a favor I owe you. Now, please take me home."

Actually, she was quite happy when she first met Li Haoyu.

But now, her mood has inexplicably become somewhat heavy.

Especially considering how ordinary she was, while Li Haoyu was not only rich but also looked so dashing, it really seemed like a mismatch.

Guan Juer was very sad.

"I think you might have a misconception. Who said you're a boring girl? It's probably a problem with your own perception."

Li Haoyu still smiled and spoke, his tone becoming gentler.

He was completely devoid of the aggressive aura he had just exuded.

"It's not a good time to chat in the car. Let's get out, take a walk, and then have a proper heart-to-heart talk."

Guan Juer glanced at Li Haoyu; he was a completely different person now, and his calm and composed aura made it impossible for her to refuse him.

Guan Juer replied subconsciously.

"OK."

As soon as she said it, Guan Juer regretted it.

Why did I agree to it again, as if possessed by some strange force?

This left Guan Juer feeling quite helpless.

Most importantly, those were her true feelings that she had kept inside for a long time.

Li Haoyu was completely unmoved.

Guan Juer now felt like she was being looked down upon. Like Sun Wukong in the hands of the Buddha, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape his grasp.

It's just...frustrating.

Guan Juer was no longer sad at this moment.

But she was also holding a grudge, so she got off the bus with Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu glanced back at her, then shook his head and smiled.

He thought to himself, "Guan Juer is still naive; she actually followed along so easily."

"Come on then, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Guan Juer said with a touch of pride.

This behavior is generally considered stubbornness.

Li Haoyu simply reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.

The two already had a significant height difference, which has now become even more pronounced.

Guan Juer was about to ask Li Haoyu what he was planning to do.

She suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder.

It turned out that Li Haoyu had flicked her bra strap.

"Can you cheer up?"

Li Haoyu said with a grin.

Guan Juer: ? ? ?
