As Gu Huanhuan had won the Best Actress Award, many directors came knocking on their doors. Sister Gao sifted through the proposed roles and scripts, shortlisting only those that met her exacting standards.
It was lonely being the only one at home. Gu Huanhuan had never felt this way in the past while she was still single. It was amazing how much her life had changed since they wed; now, she felt uncomfortable if he was absent for too long!
She could not help but reminisce about the day she was supposed to send him off.
Perhaps it was because she had slept late the night before, so when she woke up sometime after nine oâclock, Wen Chi had already left.
Gu Huanhuan could not help but be annoyed with herself. Why did she have to sleep like a pig?
Why didnât Wen Chi wake her up?
She only saw a note under a glass of water on her bedside table, which read: âHoney, Iâm off! Take care of yourself and donât forget your meals. Iâll be back as soon as possible. Love, your Hubby.â
His words warmed Gu Huanhuanâs heart.
Wen Chi had only been gone for a day, yet Gu Huanhuan missed him so much as if they had been apart for much longer.
When Wen Chi arrived, he immediately initiated a video call. Gu Huanhuan chatted with her husband for a long time.
She did not sleep well that night; the next day, she had panda eyes.
Shen Weiwei had invited her out shopping, so she had to leave the house.
Since she was going to be in public, Gu Huanhuan spent some time disguising herself. If word got out of her presence, it would become rather troublesome.
She still enjoyed leading an ordinary life, particularly when not acting.
It was almost eleven oâclock when she left the house.
Shen Weiwei was already waiting at the place they had agreed to meet.
The first thing Shen Weiwei did when they met was to scold her. âGood job. Youâve kept your marriage a secret for quite a while, huh? Not bad!â
âI tried to keep things low-key; it didnât go quite as planned, so I can only do what I can to manage the situation,â Gu Huanhuan mumbled helplessly.
âThatâs for sure. I must admit how much I admire you. You chose to get married just as your career was on track to the summit.â Shen Weiwei felt that Gu Huanhuanâs actions were not those any female celebrity would have had the courage to do. After all, oneâs youth is fleeting and quickly spent.
âBah! Thatâs nothing. Happiness means more to me than anything else. Besides, I want people to acknowledge me for my acting skills, not how I conduct my private life,â Gu Huanhuan declared firmly.
âYes, but seeing how compatible and loving you two are, Iâm so envious,â Shen Weiwei said mournfully. Finding that special someone for oneself is harder than ascending to the heavens.
âIâm sure youâll find your match in time.â Gu Huanhuan patted her on the shoulder, hoping to cheer her up.
âI hope soâ¦â Shen Weiwei took Gu Huanhuan by the hand and led her into the mall.
Shen Weiwei glanced at Gu Huanhuan, who stood by her side. She wore a formfitting sports outfit with a large, wide-brimmed sun hat, light makeup, and trendy sunglasses. Although dressed casually, Shen Weiwei exuded the aura of a celebrity.
Some people were just so lucky. She was the type to chance upon happiness, whereas all others chased it desperately. Even then, those who did gain this poisoned happiness would likely have had to pay a huge price.
Susie was one such example.
âYouâve heard about Susieâs incident, havenât you?â Shen Weiwei asked.
âYes, itâs a pity.â Gu Huanhuanâs tone conveyed her sincerity.
âWhat do you mean itâs a pity? She asked for it!â Shen Weiwei huffed, not a trace of remorse in her callous words.
Gu Huanhuan could not help but look at her. âWhy do you say that?â
âThis is her former sugar daddy. He has always been in a relationship with her. A while ago, she hooked up with Young Master Wang and thought that he would be a good match for her. She wanted to break up with her sugar daddy, but he refused, so she went to negotiate with him. The two discussed the conditions and were about to return when they were photographed.â
Shen Weiwei was quite clear about this matter because one of the artists in Susieâs company was a good friend, so she was well-informed.
