When she returned home in triumph, she was bound to face her father's disapproving looks again, but she chose to ignore them. She seemed to have a knack for ignoring her father's anger and was already used to it.
That evening, she answered Duan Mu's call. Lying comfortably on the bed, she said with a grin, "I was going to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me instead."
"Have you eaten?" Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Duan Mu looked at the night view outside and couldn't help but chuckle softly, imagining how adorable she would be when she spoke to him.
Looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, Feng Guang said softly, "Duan Mu, I miss you."
“I’m thinking about Fengguang too.” He lowered his voice, which sounded exceptionally charming. “Fengguang, after I finish filming the movie ‘The Third Dead Man,’ I plan to retire from the entertainment industry.”
Feng Guang was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to be joking. She sat up abruptly on the bed and asked uncertainly, "Are you going to retire from the entertainment industry?"
“Yes,” he said softly, “After all, I also want to live a normal life with Fengguang.”
She was initially touched, but then couldn't help saying, "Duan Mu, even if we're together, you don't need to give up the career you love..."
“Feng Guang has misunderstood. I’ve never been very interested in acting.” He chuckled. “Back then, I only accepted Yao Feng’s invitation to enter the entertainment industry for financial independence. Now that I’m saying I’m leaving the entertainment industry, it’s not like I’m giving up a career I love.”
Duan Mu never deliberately developed his career, nor did he ever think he would become a multiple-time winner of Best Actor and Best Television Actor. He always let things take their natural course. His initial plan was simply to earn enough money to support himself and, ideally, save up some money. When he got tired of it, he could use that money to open a flower shop or do some other small business.
Therefore, the media always likes to write that he would have some negative emotions because of Yuwen's rise to fame and the fact that he even stole the Best Actor award. In fact, he has always felt very calm about this matter because he has never cared about it at all.
I wonder if other people in the entertainment industry will be so angry they'd vomit blood if they knew what he was thinking. It's truly speechless that someone who does whatever he wants has won Best Actor and Best Television Actor awards for so many years.
Listening to the voice on the phone, especially when she heard him say that it was for financial independence, Feng Guang suddenly felt a pang of sadness. "Duan Mu...did you have a bad childhood?"
"Being able to eat and dress warmly every day isn't so bad, but... there are always some things I want that my parents can't give me."
Feng Guang consciously assumed that it was because his family was not wealthy and could not meet his needs. As far as she knew, Duan Mu did not go to university, perhaps also because of his family. This topic was not a good thing for him. She smiled and changed the subject, "Since you said you want to leave the entertainment industry, then I will support you. Anyway, I can afford to support you."
"If I'm no longer a big star, and I'm no longer surrounded by so many accolades..." he asked softly, "Will Fengguang still like me?"
"Of course!" she said loudly. "I like you not because of your status, I like Duan Mu, not the big star Duan Mu, but you as a person."
There seemed to be a moment of silence over there.
