Starting a second career in the entertainment industry

Wenrou didn't want Xiao Zhan to say sorry, because after hearing it too much, it seemed that saying it would increase the distance between the two of them.

Wenrou: "I never blame you. If I had cared about the family differences between us, I would not have fallen in love with you."

But this is a topic that cannot be avoided in the relationship between the two.

Wenrou was in a good mood originally, she just wanted to be a little sad for a while. After all, she was a delicate girl, so it was okay for her to be a little pretentious occasionally.

But when she heard what Xiao Zhan said, her gentle eyes blurred and hateful tears flowed out, dripping down.

Wenrou didn't want Xiao Zhan to find out that she was crying, but her tears kept flowing. If she let the tears continue to flow, she would probably start to have a runny nose.

Wenrou could only silently pull out a tissue from the coffee table in front of them and wipe her tears.

The gentle action caught Xiao Zhan's attention. Looking at the girl's tears falling, Xiao Zhan's heart suddenly ached.

Xiao Zhan quickly took more tissues and gently wiped her tears: "Don't cry, it's my fault, I'm too fragile." Feeling that verbal comfort was not enough, Xiao Zhan embraced the tearful tenderness.

He remembered that Wenrou liked to hug him the most, and now Xiao Zhan hoped that the hug could give her some comfort.

Leaning on Xiao Zhan's shoulder, Wenrou held back her tears: "Then what do you think? Will our family make you give up this relationship one day? Actually, I don't blame you completely. After all, I was the one who provoked you."

Xiao Zhan sighed, a trace of self-blame flashed in his eyes: "It's my fault, it seems that my practice has to continue. Although most men in Chongqing are jokingly called 'henpecked' and women are the main force in the family, I don't know when I became like many men, too concerned about the so-called face."

He shook his head, wondering how come the more he lived, the more he went backwards.

“Okay, stop crying, okay? Your eyes that are full of stars shouldn’t be clouded over.” Xiao Zhan comforted Wen Rou patiently, and the care in his tone made it easy for people to fall into it.

Xiao Zhan: "I was also confused, women can be housewives, but men who are gigolos are criticized, this is so unfair. Now I understand, those people are just jealous."

Wenrou burst out laughing: "Why, do you want to be a gigolo too?"

Wenrou looked at Xiao Zhan's smiling face and found that his eyes were full of concern for her.

Xiao Zhan nodded in response: "Yeah, that's about right. But I still have to work, otherwise I will become decadent. If a person wants to degenerate, he will fall to the bottom."

She nodded gently in agreement. It is difficult to climb up and it is also difficult to become excellent, but it is very easy to fall.

Since we are talking about this, Wenrou talked about some things about the Lan family, letting Xiao Zhan know. As their relationship deepens, it is inevitable for him to know more about his own family: "Have you heard about the Lan family? The current head of the Lan family is my aunt. She and my uncle are in a business marriage. In the previous generation, my grandmother and grandfather were also in a business marriage."

"However, to outsiders, my grandfather and my eldest uncle were married into the family. Alas, the complexity of this matter can be explained in a few words. However, women who are in charge of the family have to pay a lot. My grandmother and grandfather were fine because they had an emotional foundation. But my eldest aunt's family was in a very difficult situation at the time."

"Is this ancient title still used now? Patriarch, it doesn't sound that powerful." Xiao Zhan felt like he was watching a costume drama. "Although the status of women has improved, people still don't treat women on the same level. Compared to your grandmother, your aunt and others have paid a lot."

Today, Xiao Zhan saw that Aunt Wenrou and uncle-in-law were getting along very well, but since Wenrou said that, there must have been a lot of twists and turns at that time.

Wenrou: "Yes, being the head of a family is too tiring, and most people can't do it. I don't think I'm cut out for it, and my mother gave up a long time ago, so there's no need for me to be a villain and earn something."

"I am actually very satisfied with my current life, but I also know that I can't do nothing to maintain my high quality of life, so I am willing to protect the interests of the Lan family and maintain the results of my parents' hard work."

Xiao Zhan expressed his understanding. If Wenrou was a completely careless person, they might not be together. She is the natural owner of the Lan family. It is impossible for her to only enjoy the benefits brought by the family and not give anything. So does she need a marriage?

Xiao Zhan asked the question that confused him: "Then, you don't need to arrange a marriage, right?"

Wenrou: "Don't think too much, this is not something I consider. My cousin will take over the Lan enterprise in the future, and the maintenance of the family will all be done by him. Even if he doesn't want to, he can't marry an ordinary person."

"The Lan family's former maternal family, my grandfather, and my great uncle's family, the Lan family's own relationship maintenance is not a small matter, so, can we find an ordinary person? This is obviously impossible, otherwise some people in the Lan family will not be convinced."

"It's so complicated..." Xiao Zhan could only say this sentence. He really enjoyed a life that ordinary people could hardly reach, but he also paid a lot.

Wenrou also felt that, but aren't ordinary people's trivialities complicated? She would rather deal with the current complexity and not bear the feeling of powerlessness in the past.

Wenrou looked directly into Xiao Zhan's eyes and asked firmly, "Zanzan, I'll ask you this once. Do you really not mind me taking a leading role in your future life? Because of the Lan family's relationship, I might be the one to attend some social events outside."

Xiao Zhan: "I know your difficulties, just like your cousin, he can't marry an ordinary person. You must have paid a lot for choosing me. This is our real life, how can we do whatever we want."

"My idea is that we understand each other. Just like you support my work and dreams, I also can't bear to let you ignore your family. From the moment we became lovers, we were already one party."

Wenrou breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I feel like I was so hypocritical just now, which is a bit unlike me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Xiao Zhan rubbed her head again and comforted her: "After all, you are also a girl, it is normal to be a little sentimental. People are complicated by nature, and thinking too much is not necessarily a bad thing."

"For example, just now, someone said a bad word. That's awesome."

Wenrou's mind buzzed, and she quickly remembered the swear words she had just used: "Hehe, this is the real me. I also have an inappropriate side. I'm not the best at fighting or swearing, but I will never let anyone bully me."

Looking at the person who had given up on everything, Xiao Zhan felt that he had seen another side of her. She was no longer the flawless and unattainable eldest daughter.

"That's perfect. I was also naughty when I was little, and I don't have a very good temper when I grew up. Now I have the nickname Chongqing Hot Pepper in the circle, and it's even circulated among fans."
