There is a deeper, more subtle meaning in his words.

Feng Guang understood, and her face turned even redder. She raised her hand to cover her face, deeply believing that older men who had seen many storms were even more unrestrained and unconventional when talking about things that were not suitable for children.

Once they reached their seats, Duan Mu didn't put her down. Instead, he let her sit on his lap. He patted her head affectionately, as if comforting a timid pet. Feng Guang glanced at the waiter who came to deliver the food and whispered, "Put me down."

She was sitting on his lap, which made her look like... although she could assure the restaurant staff that they wouldn't dare go out and say anything.

"Doesn't Fengguang like being close to me?" He chuckled and gently stroked her cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin, which seemed to improve his mood. He hadn't known before that teasing her could be such a fun thing.

Seeing another waiter come to bring more drinks, Feng Guang gave up resisting and buried her face in his chest. She sighed, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there are other people around..."

"What's wrong with that? Doesn't this let others know that we have an unspeakable relationship?"

She thought for a moment, then blurted out, "I guess some people will think that you're being kept by me."

Her guess was perfectly reasonable. She was a daughter of a prominent family, while he was just a celebrity, or to put it bluntly, an actor. There were many people in the entertainment industry who had to resort to unspoken rules, and many who were assimilated by the industry. Moreover, the new movie that Duan Mu was filming was invested in by Feng Guang with a large sum of money.

“If that’s really the case…” Duan Mu said, “It seems not bad. If I can be supported by Fengguang, I won’t have to work anymore.”

If other people heard him say that, they would probably call him a gigolo.

However, Feng Guang looked up and asked happily, "Are you really willing to let me support you?"

He paused slightly at her sudden joy, "Why are you so happy?"

“If I support you, you won’t need to act anymore, and you won’t need to act with those actresses.” She grabbed his hand and shook it back and forth. “Duan Mu, although I know acting is your job, I feel uncomfortable watching you risk your life for the female lead in the play.”

He laughed, "When have I ever acted in a play where I'd die for a female lead?"

The characters he plays are mostly people who are emotionally reserved and have a deep mind. As for characters who are emotionally expressive, like those who are about to die, Yao Feng will refuse them without him saying anything, on the grounds that it does not fit his image. This is why he has received a lot of praise for every movie he plays over the years. He believes that when accepting roles, he should not only look at the script but also at the character.

Feng Guang snorted in dissatisfaction, "I've read the script. You're going to take a knife for that princess. Isn't that going to the point of life and death?"

"It's not me, it's the proton."

"Wasn't that your act?"

He said helplessly, "The hostage took the knife to gain her trust, not because he was willing to die as you described."

"But in the end, didn't you still fall in love with the princess because you were moved by her?"

“Fengguang,” he suddenly called her name seriously.

She paused, "What?"

“You have to understand, the character I play is separate from me.” He took her hand in his and gently stroked it. “Look, what you’re touching now is the real Duan Mu.”
