LTPC Chapter 72 Extra I: Love is a Long Road

It took Gu Tingchuan's nearly a year and a half to film Anthology of Life. Since Yi Ran personally teamed up with him to complete the film, she spent most of her time with him and his group. When they finally returned home, they had their second wedding in Hawaii. 

Life gradually returned to its normal rhythm, and Mrs. Gu returned to teaching. 

As for why Yi Ran decided to go back, it was because she wanted to work as a teacher for a few more years while she was still young. For this decision, her fellow teacher friends toasted her with an evening cup of wine. 

It didn’t take too long after their marriage for Mrs. Gu to become spoiled and proud. Whether at home or in front of Director Gu, she became increasingly lawless. 

For example, one day, Director Gu had to film a movie and wasn’t able to return home until deep into the middle of the night. He was expecting his wife to eagerly hug him but, instead, he found Mrs. Gu playing happily in front of the computer. She didn’t even pay him any attention at all. 

…What happened to being gentle and considerate and loving? 

This was not the most important thing. After discovering this situation several times, Gu Tingchuan lectured her seriously, "Don't always stay up late. Wasn’t this what you told me before?" 

Yi Ran felt that she shouldn’t be at fault here. Who let this new online game be too easy and addicting? It was simply poisonous!

“Before, you were overworked. As for me, it is only because this game was too exciting. It’s different.”

Gu Tingchuan rubbed his eyebrows, holding back the words he wanted to say. Yi Ran only continued to stare at the computer screen without looking back, her two hands flying on the keyboard, and he knew that even if he said too much, his words would be regarded as wind. 

During the next day, Director Gu personally cooked a table full of food and had dinner with Yi Ran. 

He moved his chopsticks over to give her some food and said as mildly as possible, “When did you sleep last night? Haven’t I said that you’re not allowed to play so late into the night?”

She was usually fine when he's home at night, but as long as he was away for long, she would just stay up all night and play games. 

Yi Ran only said, “Oh,” stuck out her tongue impishly at him, and continued to enjoy a delicious dinner. After eating, she sat on the sofa and brushed Weibo with her legs crossed. Gu Tingchuan cleaned up the table, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and came out to see this scene. He couldn’t help but have some inexplicable thoughts. 

“Yi Ran, let’s go for a run.”

“Ah? But I have an appointment with my friends, and they’ll be waiting.”

Gu Tingchuan's expression seemed calm and quiet at first glance, but it was like the peace before the storm. 

Sure enough, there was a sudden glint in his eyes and he issued an “Emperor’s Order” to her, “Teacher Yi, I’m going to confiscate your phone, and I’ll unplug the network cable at 8 o’clock sharp, regardless of whether you’re ready or not.” . 

Yi Ran's parents hadn’t done this to her since she was a child, but now this man suddenly came up with such a trick. She's eyes widened in disbelief.
