Chapter 292: 292: Men who Live Off Women (80 Monthly Tickets for Additional Releases)
She didn’t care about others’ opinions, but Jiang Nuo...
Mu Qiuniang hesitated: "But you’re a big star!"
"So what about being a big star? Aren’t big stars human too? We have emotions and desires, happiness and sadness, so what’s wrong with expressing personal preferences? In relationships, one side will naturally be stronger and the other weaker; absolute equality isn’t possible. You’re more capable and have achieved more than I have, so what of it? Does that mean we can’t be a couple or love each other?" Jiang Nuo laughed, "Or are you saying you don’t love me anymore? Do you think I’m not worthy of you?"
Mu Qiuniang was a bit surprised: "No, I think you’re great; otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you back then."
"Exactly, so there’s no need to care about others’ eyes. In my work, I’m an actor, and my job is to act well; in life, I’m your husband, and my job is to cherish you. These roles don’t conflict with each other."
Here, it was all tenderness and affection, but over there, Lian Nicang was burning with anger, comparable to Hell.
Is it that difficult to talk to Jiang Nuo? Why does it always feel like forced to swallow a dog food moment every time we talk?
Can’t we go back to that moment when we first met?
At that moment, the way he looked at her was different; at that moment, he was very willing to talk to her.
"Jiang Nuo, you can reject my feelings, but you can’t insult the love I have for you," Lian Nicang said.
Jiang Nuo was a bit stunned. When did he insult her love?
"If there’s nothing else, I’d like to take my wife home first, we’ve been filming all day, and my wife is tired."
"No way! You can’t leave without clarifying things." Lian Nicang finally caught him; how could she let him go easily?
Jiang Nuo is a busy man, and it’s not easy to find him at the best times, not to mention he’s been deliberately avoiding her. She has no idea where to find him.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Jiang Nuo was exasperated.
Why did he feel like he was having a conversation with an alien, completely from different worlds?
"I like you, I want to be friends with you."
Jiang Nuo, Mu Qiuniang, and everyone from the crew: "..." Is she really out of her mind?
In the end, Lian Nicang was taken away by her manager.
This manager was clearly not the same one as before, and he had brought two bodyguards. Rather than taking her away, it was more like forcibly "escorting" her away.
Even so, poor Jiang Nuo still had a few strands of hair pulled out during Lian Nicang’s departure, leaving him a bit upset. What is with this woman? Did she escape from a madhouse?
Once in the van, the team of "We’re in Love" continued filming.
Jiang Nuo recalled that Mu Qiuniang had medical skills and asked if she could tell what was wrong with Lian Nicang.
Mu Qiuniang shook her head: "I can only treat physical illnesses, not mental ones."
"Maybe, she should see a psychologist. Making a fuss like this is not a one-time incident."
Assistant Xiao Qian added, "Maybe she’s just happy to!"
"What’s so enjoyable about this?" Jiang Nuo laughed.
"Brother Jiang, that’s not how it works," Assistant Xiao Qian said, driving, "You know who you are, right? An international superstar. Just getting close to you, the hype shoots up like crazy. Who knew about Lian Nicang before? But after last time, who doesn’t know her? A few more mentions, and she could be almost A-list."
Jiang Nuo was a bit speechless: "Though fame from controversy is still fame, it’s a bit terrifying, isn’t it?"
"What’s there to fear, just clean up the image afterward!" Since they were filming, Assistant Xiao Qian didn’t mention that this was how the entertainment industry worked nowadays.
Whoever it is, as long as they become popular first, they can clean up their image if it gets negative. Not everyone can be like Brother Jiang, honest and upright from the start.
"It’s late today, here are some snacks Sister-in-law Jiang made, bring some home. No need to come in too early tomorrow, I’ll be resting in the morning." Jiang Nuo handed a glass jar about 20CM high to Assistant Xiao Qian.
"Is this the candied fruit Sister-in-law Jiang made?" Assistant Xiao Qian was delighted and quickly took it, "Hehe... Last time I took some home for my mom, she loved it, said it wasn’t too sweet or greasy, just perfect, loved it so much, she kept it for herself, and I barely got any."
"It was because you kept mentioning it. That’s why Sister-in-law Jiang specially kept a jar for you; the rest was already divided among the younger ones at home."
The younger ones at home referred to people like Murong.
Assistant Xiao Qian had been around for a while and understood right away, "Thanks a lot to Sister-in-law Jiang, I was just mentioning it casually, yet she remembered." He even added, "The dried fish from last time was also good, my girlfriend liked it too."
Jiang Nuo laughed, "Why don’t you mention that you like it too?"
"Hehehe... Everyone loves it!"
"Your Sister-in-law Jiang always says I’m thick-skinned; you’re not too far off either."
"Didn’t I learn from Brother Jiang? Without thick skin, how can you find a wife?"
"Get lost!"
"Alright, see you tomorrow, Brother Jiang!" Assistant Xiao Qian stepped on the gas and drove off.
Perhaps being with Mu Qiuniang and getting used to being an elder, Jiang Nuo now unconsciously treated young people like Mu Bai and Murong as if he was their senior, doting on them.
Sigh... Look at how spoiled his assistant is, daring to joke with him!
Jiang Nuo laughed and shook his head, "One by one, they’re all getting bolder!"
"Aren’t you the one who spoils them?" Mu Qiuniang said.
"Me spoiling them? Wife, they all know I’m completely under your control. As long as you don’t get angry, they aren’t worried about anything, no matter how mad I get, because they know you’re there to keep me in check."
Mu Qiuniang was speechless for a moment, "Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"
"How isn’t it? That’s how it is, wife. Seeing how pitiful I am, shouldn’t you compensate me a little?" As he spoke, Jiang Nuo’s eyes glowed, and he held Mu Qiuniang’s hand and gave it a kiss.
Mu Qiuniang: "..."
Just now, wasn’t this topic not what they were discussing?
"It’s getting late, let’s film tomorrow." Not as thick-skinned as Jiang Nuo, Mu Qiuniang quickly requested to stop filming for the day.
Next to her, Jiang Nuo made a silly face at the camera and couldn’t stop laughing.
The crew kindly remarked: It’s late, we also need rest, let’s continue filming tomorrow!
Disperse.
Jiang Nuo picked up Mu Qiuniang and charged into the house.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Mu Qiuniang kept her voice down, nearly screaming. Could he not do these sudden attacks? She hadn’t exactly "starved" him, right?
"Honey, this is an urgent matter, how can it not be urgent?" Jiang Nuo slammed the bedroom door shut.
What happened inside wasn’t clear, only Mu Qiuniang’s exclamations came through, telling him not to mess around, followed by Jiang Nuo’s patient coaxing, saying he wasn’t messing around, just learned a new move and needed to practice with her.
"You don’t need to, what you learned before is enough!"
"No way, to serve my wife well, I must uphold the spirit of continuous learning and improve further!"
