Qiao Zhan then brought both children into the film set.
The two of them looked so distinctive; nobody could forget what they looked like after one meeting.
Nobody dared to stop them when they arrived, and this was how they broke the rules and entered the film set.
However, Dabao had learnt from their last mistake and was now watching Erbao, making sure she didnât take a peep. All they did was stand a distance away and watch the filming quietly.
The scene they were watching was a love scene between Zheng Lunlun and Ning Ran. Even though it was not an intimate scene, both the set and the atmosphere were made to look rather ambiguous.
Erbao immediately reached out to close her eyes with her hands. âOh no, what is Blondie doing with Mommy?â
âThis is Mommyâs job. She is acting out a story with Blondie. This is not their real behavior.â
Dabao described the action deftly and explained everything calmly to his sister.
âI know, they are just acting for television,â Erbao said.
âYes, so donât call out to Mommy. If you affect her work, we will get into trouble again,â Dabao said.
âI know what to do now, Brother,â Erbao replied obediently.
However, Erbao still ran up to them after the scene was done. âMommy! Blondie!â
Zheng Lunlun was overjoyed to see Erbao. He picked her up to lift her up high.
Ning Ran quickly said it was too dangerous and instructed him to quickly put her down.
âYouâve grown prettier, but you are plumper too. Have you been eating meat every day?â Zheng Lunlun pinched Erbaoâs chubby cheeks.
âI havenât grown plumper. In fact, Iâve lost weight.â Erbao has always denied putting on weight.
She could accept looking rich, but the word âplumpâ did not exist in her vocabulary.
âOh, youâve lost weight? Look at how thin you are, poor child, you need more nutrition.â Zheng Lunlun burst out laughing.
Erbao was unhappy with that. How could Blondie laugh at me for being plump in front of so many people?
âI donât like Blondie anymore.â She pouted huffily with her puffy cheeks.
âAll right, all right, I was wrong. Erbao has lost weight. However, you really are prettier than before. You are now a beautiful young girl.â
âHrmph!â Erbao turned her face away from him.
âI heard thereâs a new desserts cafe that has just opened near my house, and that it is really good. I wonder if anybody would be willing to go and give it a try with meâ¦â
âMe!â
Erbao immediately fell into the trap and raised her hand.
Dabao looked at his sister helplessly.
Zheng Lunlun laughed out loud, âHahahaha, all right, thatâs the way.â
âBlondie, so when are you bringing me there?â Erbao has always been a fan of desserts.
âRight after we finish our work,â said Zheng Lunlun.
âCaptain Qiao, why did you bring them here? Iâve said that I didnât want the kids here to affect our work,â Ning Ran chided.
âIâm here to bring you and the kids for a meal. I did not do my job properly, so Iâd like to buy you a meal as a sign of my apology,â Qiao Zhan said cautiously.
âNo, there is no need, itâs all in the past. Captain Qiao, you were just doing your job, and we can hardly blame you. There is no need for dinnerâ¦â
âHey, what no need? There is a need. I want to eat, and if Captain Qiao is treating, thatâs even better.
Iâll go too,â Zheng Lunlun quickly said.
He had been prepared to have dinner with Ning Ran after work. Now that the two kids were here, itâd be even better.
âOh, you have a dinner appointment? Letâs wrap up for the day then.â The director came over as well.
âThere is really no need. Weâve all agreed to put in additional hours to pick up our speed. How can we wrap up so early?â Ning Ran cried out.
âNo worries, itâs not like we can catch up in one day anyway. Lunlun has just come in today, so we shouldnât tire him out. Weâll just add onto his workload slowly. So yes, go and grab dinner, you guys,â
The director said with a chuckle.
âYes, yes, Iâve just arrived today, so I canât be too tired. If I burn out again, itâd be worse for our schedule,â Zheng Lunlun continued.
Ning Ran rolled her eyes at Zheng Lunlun.
With this situation where Zheng Lunlun wanted to leave and that the children were here, it was clearly impossible to continue with the shoot.
âAll right then, weâll put in extra time tomorrow.â Ning Ran had no choice but to agree.
It was supposed to be the directorâs decision, and he had already made the decision to wrap up for the day. It wouldnât change if she was the only one who insisted on continuing.
Qiao Zhan was about to bring Ning Ran and her children to the restaurant, and allow Nan Chen to appear then. However, there was one more person involved in the plan now â Zheng Lunlun.
Young Master Lun was not part of the plan and was not supposed to be at the dinner. However, Qiao Zhan did not dare offend him and did not know how to handle this situation.
âWhere are we going for dinner? We arenât going to Uncleâs company canteen, are we?â Zheng Lunlun asked Qiao Zhan as he sat at the passengerâs seat.
âOf course not. Iâve booked a restaurant that specializes in Hunan food,â Qiao Zhan said absent-
mindedly.
âThatâd be good, I havenât had it for a while.â
âYoung Master Lun, I am here today to bring Ms. Ding out for a meal. Alone,â Qiao Zhan said hesitantly.
âWhat are you trying to say? That I am an extra?â Zheng Lunlun could understand what he was trying to say.
âWhy not I treat you to a meal separately another day, Young Master Lun?â
âNo! Qiao Zhan, are you bullying me here? You are treating her but not me?â Zheng Lunlun was really unhappy now.
âNo, itâs just that todayâs a little differentâ¦â
âWhat special occasion is this? Did you not bring enough cash or what? I know you have always been very tight-fisted, so why donât I just pay for this?â
âI donât mean it that way, Young Master Lun, itâs just thatâ¦â
âFine, I was here to have dinner with them anyway. If you are too stingy to part with your money, Iâll pick up the tab then. Donât even think of trying to get rid of me!â Zheng Lunlun was about to lose his temper.
Qiao Zhan did not dare to say anything else now that Zheng Lunlun was angry.
Qiao Zhan had made quite a good choice of restaurant today.
After all these years of working with the Nan family, his exposure had led him to book a restaurant that was far from being mainstream.
After they settled the children down, Qiao Chan came out to call Nan Chen. âSir Chen, Iâve brought them to the restaurant, but there is an extra person with them!â
âWhat do you mean?â
âYoung Master Lun is here too.â
âGet rid of him,â Nan Chen immediately said.
âNo, Iâve tried it and he refused to leave. In fact, he was about to get angry when I tried to say more.â
Qiao Zhen âThatâs your own business. Get him out.â Nan Chen put down the phone.
Qiao Zhan was now in a quandary. How could he get rid of someone he could not afford to offend?
With his head hung low, Qiao Zhan returned to the private room. âYoung Master Lun, may I have a word with you?â
Zheng Lunlun followed Qiao Zhan out of the room. âWhat do you want this time?â
âYoung Master Lun, can you just leave first? If you donât leave, itâd make things difficult for me.â Qiao Zhan looked very worried.
âHey, whatâs wrong with you? You keep trying to get rid of me! Iâve said Iâll pay for it, so whatâs the problem?â Zheng Lunlun was getting annoyed.
âI donât mean it that way, and I donât mind paying for you. Why not you move to a different room, and Iâll order a separate table of dishes for you?â Qiao Zhan said.
âA separate table for me? Qiao, are you discriminating against me? Do you think I am not worthy to sit at the same table? Or are you worried Iâll spread some disease to you?â Zheng Lunlun was truly fired up now.
âNo! Itâs just that I feel that you shouldâ¦â
âLeave! Iâll pay for it myself, and Iâll buy tonightâs dinner. I donât want to see your face ever again!â
Zheng Lunlun scolded him.
âIâ¦â
âLeave!â Zheng Lunlun roared at him.
âAll right.â Qiao Zhan let out a troubled sigh before he turned to leave.
