Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Yuwu kept her promise and brought Lin Xiaowan over.

The male celebrity naturally knew Gu Yuwu. Perhaps he was rather famous so his attitude toward Gu Yuwu was more casual. He was not like those people earlier who were clearly more flattering.

Gu Yuwu introduced Lin Xiaowan. Since she had worked with the male celebrity many times, she was also not reserved. She said, “She’s a very good friend of mine. She’s just like a sister to me. She likes your movies very much.” The male celebrity had won the Best Actor award last year, and his popularity had risen since then. However, he did not put on any air. Although he was serious, he would smile as he spoke. Not only that, but seeing that Lin Xiaowan was a little embarrassed, he even took the initiative to stand next to her so they could take a photo together.

Lin Xiaowan could smell the faint fragrance when he stood next to her.

After the photo was taken, the male celebrity asked, “Do you want an autograph as well?”

Lin Xiaowan looked down at her empty hands. She even left her phone in the car. In short, there was nothing for the other party to sign at all.

Upon seeing this, the other party laughed and said, “It’s okay. I’ll sign a movie poster for you later and I’ll pass it to Madam Gu.”

After a while, Gu Yuwu led Lin Xiaowan to the front row.

The moment Lin Xiaowan sat down, she understood why Gu Yuwu had said that the seats were not comfortable. They were hard.

After settling down, Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “That famous male celebrity from earlier is clearly much older than you. Why did he address you as ‘Madam Gu’?”

“Age is not an indication of seniority in the entertainment industry. His form of address to me is a way to show respect and humility,” Gu Yuwu explained.

“I feel like that makes you sound older,” Lin Xiaowan said.

Gu Yuwu leaned over and said teasingly, “Then how do you think they should address me so that I sound younger?”

Apart from addressing Gu Yuwu by her name, Lin Xiaowan could not think of another answer to Gu Yuwu’s question.

Gu Yuwu continued to say teasingly, “Nicknames can make one sound younger. If you think ‘Madam Gu’ makes me sound older, why don’t you address me as Sister Yuwu? I’ll sound younger that way.”

In fact, Gu Yuwu had a younger half-sister. However, her younger half-sister was especially good at causing trouble and was quite evil. She liked to act pitiful and had a belly full of bad ideas. As such, Gu Yuwu could not help but feel disgusted whenever she saw her half-sister.

On the contrary, Gu Yuwu liked Lin Xiaowan very much. Lin Xiaowan was cute and innocent. She was very happy to be Lin Xiaowan’s elder sister.

“Sister Yuwu…” Lin Xiaowan called out tentatively, “I’m not used to calling you that way…”

“You’ll get used to it eventually. In any case, I told people that you’re like my younger sister. It’s only normal for you to call me ‘Sister Yuwu’,” Gu Yuwu said.

Lin Xiaowan nodded, feeling that Gu Yuwu’s words made sense.

The two continued to chat.

At the same time, the celebrities began to take their seats as well now that they were done walking the red carpet.

The members of the media also entered the hall, waiting for the event to begin.

Lin Xiaowan looked around. Since there was a show to watch, she wanted to eat something. However, when she looked around, she discovered that no one was eating. There were many beautiful women and handsome men, standing and sitting. It was truly a feast for the eye. However, no matter how good-looking they were, none of them was eating. Finally, she asked Gu Yuwu, “Can I get something to eat here?”

“Sure. What do you want? I’ll come with you,” Gu Yuwu replied.

“But no one’s eating here. Will it be strange if I eat here?” Lin Xiaowan asked as she looked at the familiar faces she commonly saw on the screen.

Gu Yuwu said with a smile, “There are members of the media here after all. Celebrities are very mindful of their image. It’s only natural that they’re not eating.”

After that, Gu Yuwu led Lin Xiaowan to the side room as she said, “You can do whatever you want. There’s no need to care about other people. You don’t know them, and they don’t know you.”

After a brief moment, Gu Yuwu asked, “Do you know why so many people came over to greet me, but they looked a little afraid of me?”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head.

Gu Yuwu smiled brightly as she patted Lin Xiaowan’s head and said, “That’s because I’m domineering enough. They know that they can’t afford to provoke me so they don’t dare to provoke me.”

Lin Xiaowan was speechless.

“What kind of expression is that? What I mean is that you should be more domineering as well. You have the support of Second Young Master Huo after all. What are you afraid of?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded before she said seriously, “Okay. Then I want to eat that honey-glazed fried potato!”

“Honey-glazed fried potato? What kind of flavor is that?”

Lin Xiaowan was also afraid it would not taste good so she only picked up two sticks of potatoes to taste them first. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up, and she brought one to Gu Yuwu’s lips as she said enthusiastically, “It’s delicious! Try it!”

Gu Yuwu’s expression was a little skeptical and reluctant as she took a bite. Apart from honey, there was also the taste of cheese and cumin. Seeing that Lin Xiaowan liked it, her expression was a little strange as she said, “Your taste is a little strange.”

After returning to their seats, Gu Yuwu left to bring Lin Xiaowan a cup of fresh jasmine tea, worried that the latter would be thirsty.

When she returned to their seats, Gu Yuwu saw a female celebrity dressed in a plunging black dress sitting next to Lin Xiaowan. She was famous in the industry for her seductive figure and fox-like eyes. At this moment, she was staring at Lin Xiaowan with bright eyes.

Lin Xiaowan felt her hair standing on end when she sensed the other party’s gaze.

Gu Yuwu was quite familiar with the female celebrity, and she knew that the latter’s sexual orientation was not clear. She said teasingly, “Hey, hey, that’s enough. This young woman is already taken. Stop looking at her like that.” Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan looked at Gu Yuwu as though she had seen her savior. Emboldened by Gu Yuwu’s presence, she finally had the confidence to look at the person next to her.

The female celebrity smiled, thinking that Lin Xiaowan was really cute. She said, “I was just curious. Is she a newcomer? Did she just debut? It doesn’t look like it though…”

“No, she’s my sister.”

The female celebrity was obviously stunned by Gu Yuwu’s response. She looked back and forth between the duo before she said hesitantly, “Your… sister?”

Lin Xiaowan recalled Gu Yuwu’s earlier words so she raised her chin slightly to look confident as she said, “That’s right. Don’t I look like my sister?”

Gu Yuwu tried to hold back her laughter. She was thoroughly amused by how cute Lin Xiaowan was. Then, she turned to look at the female celebrity as well.

The female celebrity did not know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “Yes, yes, you do look alike…”

Naturally, the two women did not look alike. Their eyes, noses, and lips were completely different, but since they had already spoken, what else could she do? She could only agree and nod..
