q The next day, at the set of Sound of Thunder 2.
Zheng Lunlun and Ning Ran were practicing their lines with each other. Their charming appearances and superb acting captivated everyone.
They were able to complete the filming of a scene with almost zero errors.
During their lunch break, Zheng Lunlun needed to go shoot other scenes, but he insisted on having lunch with Ning Ran first.
Ning Ran laughed at him, âYouâre a huge star and yet you choose to eat the bento provided by the film crew instead of getting some good food outside? How shameless can you get?â
Zheng Lunlun shot back, âKnow your place, woman. Iâm having lunch with you here. How dare you say Iâm shamelessly eating your crewâs bento? I can afford all sorts of luxurious meals out there! I donât need to be stealing your cheap bento!â
âAs if I need your company for lunch! Itâs just bento anyway, you donât have to eat with me!â
Zheng Lunlun got closer, âActually, I have some things Iâd like to ask you about.â
âWhat do you want to know?â
âI heard you went to my uncleâs office yesterday?â Zheng Lunlun asked mysteriously.
âWho told you that?â
âI may not be involved with my uncleâs work, but I do have a few friends in the office.â Zheng Lunlun said with a sly smile.
âYes, I was there. What about it?â
âWhat were you doing there?â
âWhy do you want to know?â
âIâm just curious. Youâre a couple with my uncle Nan Xing, so why did you go to Uncle Nan Chenâs office?â Zheng Lunlun asked nosily.
âThe kids wanted to see him. I was just there to pick them up.â Ning Ran said.
âWhy did they want to see him?â Zheng Lunlun was a real busybody.
âWhat kind of question is that? What reason would the children need to see him? Kids do whatever they like. They donât need a reason for anything, okay?â Ning Ran said.
âAnd I thought there was something going on between you and Uncle Nan Chen.â Zheng Lunlun said.
âThatâs so nasty. What could I possibly want with Poker Face?â
âBut I heard that Uncle Nan Chen had locked himself in his office and refused to come out after you left. Why is that?â
âHe must be working then. Isnât it normal for bosses like them to be working late?â
âI donât think so. Uncle Nan Chen is the CEO, and rarely stays up all night working. Even though he often ended up work late, he treasures his health and wonât pull all-nighters like this. So, what happened last night must have something to do with you.â
âSomething to do with me?â
âYeah. Such behavior is very abnormal for Uncle Nan Chen, and you happened to visit him yesterday, so you must have something to do with this matter.â
Ning Ran stopped chewing her food, and thought about it.
âCould he have been plotting all night to get rid of me from Flower City for good?â
âHe wants to get rid of you? Why?â
âBecause he was fighting with me for custody of the childrenâ¦â Ning Ran suddenly stopped and looked at Zheng Lunlun.
âWhat now?â
âYou wouldnât happen to be a spy sent by Poker Face, would you? Are you a double agent?â
âWhat are you saying? Why am I a double agent?â
âForget it; Iâm done talking about this. I canât trust you right now.â Ning Ran waved her hand.
âActually, what I wanted to ask is if you are dating Uncle Nan Chen?â Zheng Lunlun looked at Ning Ran.
âWhat do you mean?â
âLiterally what I said. Are you dating Uncle Nan Chen?â
Ning Ran broke out into laughter, âMe? Dating Poker Face? Are you kidding me?â
âNo, Iâm not. Iâm asking you this question very seriously. Do you like Uncle Nan Chen?â Zheng Lunlun asked.
âZheng Lunlun, have you lost your mind?â Me liking Poker Face? I wouldnât like him even if he was the last guy on earth!â Ning Ran said as she clenched her teeth.
âNow this, I donât understand. Whatâs wrong with Uncle Nan Chen? Heâs handsome and rich. Lots of women wish they could be with him! Why do you hate him so much?â
âThatâs their problem. I just hate him!â Ning Ran said angrily.
âThen that means Uncle Nan Chen likes you.â Zheng Lunlun shook his head.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Why must I have anything to do with him?â
âIâm not talking nonsense! You went to the office, and Uncle Nan Chen locks himself in his office for the entire night. He mustâve been heartbroken! With his riches and charm, he could have any woman he wanted! But what should he do if the one he likes is dating his brother? He canât do anything about it!
So, he thought about it all night and still couldnât find an ideal solution. What a poor guyâ¦â
Ning Ran nearly threw her lunch box in Zheng Lunlunâs face.
This guy was too good at making stuff up! Heâs wasting his talent being an actor. He should be a screenwriter!
âZheng Lunlun, Iâm warning you! Youâd better stop disgusting me with these silly stories, or Iâll set your blonde head on fire!â Ning Ran said angrily.
Zheng Lunlun touched his hair that had been dyed black, âThe blonde hair is in the past, thereâs no more left now. I didnât mean to disgust you. Iâm just warning you not to play with fire. Even though they are both really handsome, you mustnât get greedy!â
Ning Ran couldnât stand it anymore. She put down her lunch box, and rushed at Zheng Lunlun, âIâll rip your filthy mouth out! That should stop you from spouting nonsense!â
Zheng Lunlun dropped his lunch and ran away while screaming, âHelp! Ding Miâs lost gone mad!â
His cry for help alerted everyone nearby, and made Ning Ran embarrassed to keep chasing after him.
People from the crew commented, âLetâs not get in the way of them flirting.â
âTheyâre both so good looking; they make such a good match!â
âPlease, good looking is such an understatement. With their acting skills combined with their good looks, theyâre practically gods of the silver screen!â
Although a lot of people were talking about it, most of them meant no harm.
On the contrary, they felt that Ning Ran and Zheng Lunlun make a good match despite their age gap.
Luo Fei couldnât stand it anymore. She came out of her caravan and walked straight to Ning Ran.
âNing Ran, are you shameless?â
âNo, why? Are you?â Ning Ran laughed.
âDidnât you promise me that youâd leave Flower City? Why are you still here, seducing young men?â
âI want to leave too, but the Nan family is too powerful, so I have to plan my escape carefully.
Otherwise, if the Nan family catches me, then I wonât ever be able to leave.â
âYouâre full of excuses!â
âBy the way, do you remember that you told me youâd arrange for me to leave? And now youâre blaming me for your incompetence?â
âHow am I supposed to arrange that if you keep hanging out with Nan Xing every day?â
âYou donât have to worry about that. Once youâve made the arrangements, Iâll dump Nan Xing and leave Flower City.â Ning Ran said.
Luo Fei glared at Ning Ran, as if trying to read her thoughts.
But Ning Ran just smiled slightly, and there was no way to figure out what she was thinking.
