âDoes the food taste good?â Gu Huanhuan asked in hope of a compliment. Although she could already tell from his expression that he was very happy with the dishes, she still wanted to hear him say it out loud.
Wen Chi nodded and took a bite of the beef before he replied, âItâs so delicious that I bit my own tongue.â
Gu Huanhuan propped her face on her hands and smiled. That was great.
âYou eat some too.â Wen Chi picked up a piece of meat for her.
âI have to attend an awards ceremony on Monday. Iâm wearing a qipao this time, which is very demanding on my figure, so I must eat less.â
Wen Chi frowned. Losing weight again; this was probably every womanâs life mission.
âYouâre very thin. Eat some. Youâll be fine. Youâll always be the best female lead in my heart.â Wen Chi coaxed her. He couldnât help but think that she was ruining her health.
After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of beef and put it in her bowl. Gu Huanhuan did not want to make him feel bad, so she ate it. Indeed, the food tasted really good.
After they finished dinner, Wen Chi volunteered to clean the dishes.
âChichi, do you feel pressure being my boyfriend?â Gu Huanhuan leaned against the kitchen door and asked Wen Chi casually.
Wen Chi nearly choked on the nickname she gave him. He stopped what he was doing before he asked, âWhy are you asking me this question?â
âI just suddenly thought of it since everything about you may be dug out and displayed to the world because of my profession.â Gu Huanhuan said worriedly.
âI donât have any dirty laundry to be aired in public, so donât worry.â Wen Chi said light-heartedly.
Gu Huanhuan walked up to him and hugged his waist from behind. She leaned her face against his back and muttered, âI love you.â
Although she said it very softly, Wen Chi still heard every word. His body stiffened for a moment, and then the corners of his lips curled up.
Gu Huanhuan felt a little shy after she said that; she quickly broke the hug and walked out.

The Golden Bear Awards were divided into eight categories: Best Film, Best Director, Best Scriptwriter, Best Lead Actor, Best Lead Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Newcomer.
The awards were a big deal in the entertainment industry. There was an elaborate selection process every year, where the Chinese audience would do the first-round selection and only five nominees would be shortlisted for each category.
The selection process was open and transparent. Behind the scenes manipulations were nearly impossible.
Therefore, every nominee and award winner were truly well-deserved.
Director Guanâs works had always been beautifully shot, even when it was a period film. Moreover, his stories were usually very touching.
âMeeting by Chanceâ had already received a lot of attention since the cast was announced. And later, with Gu Huanhuanâs relationship coming to light, publicity for the film reached a new height.
With the box office hitting 1.5 billion yuan, the period drama had lived up to expectations when it was nominated for four awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Lead Actor, and Best Lead Actress.
It didnât matter if they won any of these awards. Being nominated was already a clear recognition by everyone. Being able to stand out among so many outstanding films this year was already not an easy feat. Being nominated in one category was already very impressive, let alone four categories.
Therefore, when the director called Gu Huanhuan to congratulate her for being nominated for the Best Lead Actress award, he was grinning from ear to ear.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
