On the way, Zhong Chuhong was rather silent, quietly driving the pink Volkswagen Beetle that Li Xuan had given her. The car soon arrived at the residential area in North Point where she rented a place. She parked the car, didn't even look at Li Xuan, and went upstairs on her own.
Li Xuan knew his girlfriend was upset and closely followed her. The moment Zhong Chuhong opened the door, Li Xuan reached out and hugged her from behind. They quickly entered the room, and without turning on the lights, Li Xuan turned Zhong Chuhong around, pressed her against the door, and kissed her red lips eagerly.
They shared a deep and passionate French kiss, only parting when they were slightly out of breath. Somewhere along the way, tears had streamed down Zhong Chuhong's cheeks.
"Why are you so good to me!"
Zhong Chuhong felt immense pressure from this relationship. Her boyfriend was like a dazzling diamond, earning millions in just half a year, while she was just an ugly duckling, failing one TV drama audition after another, and only able to take on minor roles in small advertisements. She feared that one day he would suddenly tire of her and leave without a backward glance.
Li Xuan looked at her tear-streaked, sad face and felt a pang of heartache. He didn't say a word, just gently kissed away the tears on her beautiful face.
Zhong Chuhong let Li Xuan's tongue trace her face, then suddenly stripped off his jacket and bit his shoulder hard. Zhong Chuhong didn't hold back; her teeth pierced through the thin shirt and bit into Li Xuan's flesh.
Li Xuan seemed to understand the panic and confusion in her bite. Despite the intense pain in his shoulder, he didn't make a sound, just held her tighter.
"I feel so useless. The car is from you, the business at home is run with your help, and even getting roles in movies requires your money!" Zhong Chuhong's voice was very low, "I don't think I deserve you. What if you suddenly don't want me anymore..."
Before Zhong Chuhong could finish, Li Xuan gently covered her mouth with his hand.
"Sweetheart, you are my most precious treasure! Love is about destiny, and if I like you, that's it! Do I have to find a woman who can earn as much as me to be worthy of me?
It seems I can only marry a wealthy heiress and keep you in a secret house! Hehe, actually, I'm quite traditional and have already considered having multiple wives. If you feel you're not enough for me, you can always find a few pretty friends to share the burden!"
Li Xuan laughed, comforting the self-conscious Zhong Chuhong, and playfully pinched her nose. Zhong Chuhong, seeing his playful smile, couldn't help but feel a bit angry and pinched his arm, but her mood was much better than before.
Seeing the wet bite marks on Li Xuan's shirt, Zhong Chuhong felt a pang of guilt and helped him take off the shirt. Indeed, the bitten area was already oozing blood.
"Does it hurt? Why didn't you say anything!" Zhong Chuhong immediately got some disinfectant from the house and used a cotton swab to gently clean the wound, causing Li Xuan to wince in pain.
"You bit me today, and we've let out our anger. Now we need to set some rules! In the future, you must let me see the script before you take on a movie role. No intimate scenes, and no physical contact with other men beyond handshakes and hugs. Kissing must be done with a stand-in. No revealing scenes like showing your back or chest, not even in your dreams!" Li Xuan said in a tone that brooked no argument.
"Hmph, why should I agree to that! Choosing which movies to act in is my decision, and I don't need your approval!" Zhong Chuhong pouted, deliberately arguing.
"Little girl, if I don't discipline you for three days, you'll start climbing the walls. Just wait and see how your husband will handle you!"
Li Xuan laughed wickedly, pulled Zhong Chuhong down onto the sofa. She instinctively tried to dodge, but Li Xuan pinned her down, and his tongue soon invaded her mouth.
Seeing no way to escape, Zhong Chuhong stopped resisting, placed her hands on the back of Li Xuan's head, and her tongue began to respond passionately to his.
Li Xuan's usually mischievous hands remained well-behaved today, gently resting on Zhong Chuhong's waist. His tongue also stopped after a brief exploration, and he gently gazed into Zhong Chuhong's moist eyes, saying tenderly, "I only wish to find one heart, to grow old together! If you don't leave, I won't either!"
"Mm!" Zhong Chuhong, entranced by his sweet words, nodded slightly.
"CUHK has a company management training course. Sign up for it tomorrow!" The two of them were cuddled on the sofa, watching TV, but their minds were elsewhere.
"Why? I'm not as good at school as you!" Zhong Chuhong asked, puzzled.
"Actually, investing in Zeng Zhiwei's movie tonight wasn't entirely for you. I see great potential in the future of Hong Kong cinema, and starting a film company wasn't just a joke!" Li Xuan explained, "Zeng Zhiwei is very shrewd in his dealings but is also very loyal when it counts. He has a wide network in the film industry, and partnering with him is a good choice.
I will provide the majority of the capital for the company, and Zeng Zhiwei can handle the management. I will send someone to oversee the finances. This is a good opportunity for you to learn, observe, and listen. Making movies isn't just about acting; there are many intricacies involved, and the more you understand, the better.
According to my plan, the new company will produce three to five low-budget films each year, and you, as my representative, will gradually learn how to be a boss."
Li Xuan, who grew up watching Hong Kong films, naturally didn't want to miss the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. But he knew his priorities; the electronics company was his main business, and the film company was just a hobby.
Making Zhong Chuhong the boss of the film company had a different significance. It would help her avoid many troubles. Li Xuan never wanted her to be a caged bird. Zhong Chuhong was the brightest star, and without her, Hong Kong cinema would lose much of its luster.
But Li Xuan also knew that the entertainment industry was not as glamorous as it seemed, with countless ugly and disgusting things hidden beneath the surface. He didn't want his woman to be hurt. With the title of a film company boss, the production staff, directors, and producers would treat her differently, and they would be more likely to favor her, perhaps even seek her help for future investments.
"I'll listen to you!" Zhong Chuhong knew Li Xuan was doing this for her.
"Let's go to bed early!"
Seeing Li Xuan get up and prepare to leave, Zhong Chuhong felt a bit disappointed. She was ready to give herself to him completely.
"Sweetheart, I want you to give yourself to me willingly and happily! Don't worry, I'll definitely have you before the New Year, and I've already prepared a place!" Li Xuan whispered in her ear.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to hear it!" Zhong Chuhong's face turned red when her thoughts were revealed, and she pushed Li Xuan out the door, but a hint of sweetness lingered in her heart.
