Jiang Anzhi knew that he had been too intense, so he lightened his tone and continued, “I know that you do not feel secure given my job. And we also did not build our relationship the regular way. That is why every time something happens, you feel like backing away. This is normal, and I don’t blame you for that. But my promise stays the same. I will not step out of line in our marriage. This is your bottom line, and it is also mine.”

“But feelings are the hardest to control…” Even if one could control one’s body, they could also cheat emotionally… Feng Lanchu thought to herself.

“Do you need love?” Jiang Anzhi asked, looking at her with deep dark eyes.

Feng Lanchu paused. She shook her head honestly. “Love is too troublesome.”

She had indeed thought of leaving Jiang Anzhi, but she had never thought of finding another hole to jump into.

She knew that there was no one else like Jiang Anzhi who could give her the same freedom. Furthermore, her EQ was really low. She was not interested in a lovey-dovey relationship at all.

A hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Anzhi’s eyes. He sighed.

“It’s the same for me.”

What did he mean? Feng Lanchu was perplexed.

“The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. It is not as great as everyone thinks it is. There are complicated and tangled lines between capitalism and the powers behind it, and it cannot be explained in just a few words. Even though I cannot avoid having contact with women because of my job, I can control my will and freedom. I will not fall for anyone in the entertainment industry.”

“Then the two of us shall just make do together, shall we?”

Feng Lanchu felt something warm on her forehead as she listened to him speak. It was Jiang Anzhi pressing a kiss to her forehead. Then, he lay down and did not release her from his embrace. He adjusted his position to hugging her as his bolster and prepared to go to sleep.

Just great. She had now turned from a pork hock to a bolster. Feng Lanchu felt rather frustrated.

Jiang Anzhi had given her too much information that night, and it took her a long time to digest all that.

She woke up in Jiang Anzhi’s embrace the next morning.

Mr. Movie Star had slept very well, but she was exhausted.

The two had been married for three years, but the amount of time they had slept together in the same bed probably amounted to less than three months when added together. Other than the night they had spent together on their wedding day, they had not had any other intimate physical contact. The refined movie star had always treated her politely and with respect. The most he had done was to grab her wrist when he slept.

But to tell the truth, even though she was a wildlife specialist and knew that physical relations were natural to human beings, her first time had hurt too much. After that, having a baby had hurt even more. That had resulted in her not being interested in intimate contact. Coincidentally, Jiang Anzhi did not have any improper requests, so she was happy to pretend to be unaware.

Yesterday night had been the first time she had fallen asleep in Jiang Anzhi’s arms. The movie star’s physique was indeed great. And he was hot. It was just that his arms were wrapped around her extremely tightly. And it was in the middle of summer. She couldn’t even move, even if she wanted to.

She had finally made it until daybreak. Feng Lanchu clambered out of the movie star’s arms silently, and as usual, she placed her pillow into the movie star’s arms. This time, this did not comfort him. Jiang Anzhi frowned and opened his eyes with difficulty. He had woken up. He asked in a husky voice, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. You go back to sleep. I will go and make breakfast.” Feng Lanchu patted his arm comfortingly.

“Don’t tire yourself out.” Jiang Anzhi said perfunctorily. He held her wrist in his pams out of habit and rubbed the pads of his fingers over her smooth and soft wrist. His breathing evened out as he stroked her wrist.

Alright, so her claws could put him to sleep.

While Feng Lanchu might complain about this, she did not retract her hand immediately. She waited until Jiang Anzhi was deeply asleep again before she withdrew her hand and left the room.

The two had come to a consensus. However, no one could predict what would happen to their relationship in the future. She felt that she had to make a backup plan. Having backup plans and contingency plans was her style.
