[World 7] Chapter 181

  At first Xu Cheng didn't quite understand why the man looked at him so strangely, until he saw Lu Ran walking towards Jiang Mu and talking to Jiang Mu, he realized that all this was because of Jiang Mu.

  It's not surprising that a woman like Jiang Mu has several men around her who are jealous because of her.

  Xu Cheng was not too surprised, nor did he feel much. Facing Lu Ran's hostility, he behaved very naturally.

  However, when he heard Jiang Mu introduce: "This is Lu Ran, my agent."

  His expression showed a little surprise.

  The agent falls in love with his artist.

  This is not a good thing.

  Especially for Jiang Mu, it is a big hidden danger.

  When he arranges work for Jiang Mu, he will bring his own selfish motives into play, which may affect her career.

  Xu Cheng thought about it and decided to find an opportunity to talk to Jiang Mu.

  However, he felt that someone as insightful as Jiang Mu should be able to see that Lu Ran liked her.

  …..

  Seeing Jiang Mu's agent coming to visit the set, the director simply asked Jiang Mu to take a rest first. The next scene was more crucial, so it would be better to give her more time to prepare.

  So Jiang Mu went to the RV next to her to rest, and Lu Ran followed her.

  Jiang Mu's assistant was arranged by Lu Ran to buy drinks for Jiang Mu, and there were only the two of them in the RV.

  The moment the car door closed, the atmosphere changed immediately.

  Jiang Mu: "Why are you here today?"

  Lu Ran: "I came to see you, but it seems like I came at a bad time."

  Jiang Mu heard the hidden meaning in his words and knew that he was upset. She said calmly, "Really? I don't think so."

  Lu Ran snorted coldly, "Are you going to film a bed scene later?"

  Jiang Mu: "Yeah, yeah, haven't you read the script?"

  What she meant was, since you already knew it, why are you complaining about it now?

  What's more, he was the one who chose the script for her.

  Lu Ran understood what Jiang Mu meant and also understood the look in her eyes.

  Lu Ran knew that he had shot himself in the foot by arranging for the woman he liked to film a sex scene. This was really ironic.

  If he had known that he would fall for Jiang Mu one day, he would never have let Jiang Mu audition for "Falling".

  But he didn't know he'll regret it when it started, and there is no regret medicine for him to take now.

  Now he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

  "Yes, I have seen it." Lu Ran nodded. Only he knew his mood at this moment.

  Jiang Mu hummed, sat down leisurely, and said, "When will Brother Lu Ran leave? Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

  Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Stay here for one night. I have something to do tomorrow. I've arranged a place to eat."

  Jiang Mu: "Okay, then it's settled. Where will Brother Lu Ran stay tonight?"

  Lu Ran originally booked a hotel in the city center, but he changed his mind and didn't tell the truth, "I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it later."

  Jiang Mu didn't ask any more questions.

  Her cell phone rang. It was her assistant asking her if there was anything else she wanted to buy so she could take it back.

  Jiang Mu said no more, then turned around and asked Lu Ran if he wanted anything.

  Lu Ran wanted to say no, but then he thought about how his cigarettes were so tight that he couldn't smoke them, so he changed his mind and said, "Ask her to bring me a pack of cigarettes, a rare and valuable item."

  Jiang Mu relayed Lu Ran's words to his assistant.

  After hanging up the phone, the two were quiet for a while.

  Jiang Mu lowered her head and looked at the script, as if she was pondering it, occasionally reciting a few lines.

  After listening to a few words, Lu Ran's face turned ugly.

  He had deliberately tried not to think about the sex scene that was about to be filmed, but Jiang Mu kept reciting those lines in front of him.

  Lu Ran stared at Jiang Mu, wondering what she was thinking.

  Jiang Mu did it on purpose. She was laughing in her heart but her expression was serious.

  Just when Lu Ran couldn't help but want to interrupt Jiang Mu, the assistant came back.

  "Sister Mu, Brother Lu, I bought the things."

  The assistant knocked on the car door.

  Jiang Mu put down the script and looked at Lu Ran who was closer to the car door.

  Only then did Lu Ran reach out and open the door.

  The assistant held two cups of packaged fruit tea in her hands, "Sister Mu, this is for you."

  "Brother Lu, this is for you. I don't know what you like to drink, so I just ordered one cup. If you don't want to drink it, I'll have two cups myself."

  The assistant handed Lu Ran a cup. Lu Ran glanced at it and said coldly, "Put it there."

  The assistant noticed that Lu Ran's tone was a bit cold. Not knowing if she had done something wrong, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Mu.

  Jiang Mu didn't look at her. The assistant took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Ran, then said she had something else to do and left quickly.

  Lu Ran held the cigarette and frowned. He suddenly said, "When you shoot that scene later, I'll go over to see it too."

  Jiang Mu looked up and asked in confusion: "What?"

  Although Lu Ran's words just now were not clear, he felt that Jiang Mu should be able to understand.

  "I said, later, I'll watch you shoot the scene."

  Jiang Mu: "No."

  Lu Ran: "Why?"

  Jiang Mu: "The director said that no one who is not related can be here, the area must be cleared."

  Lu Ran: "I am an irrelevant person?"

  Jiang Mu said directly: "What's the point of you being there?"

  Lu Ran: "…"

  Staring at you.

  He thought so in his heart but couldn't say it, so he found a plausible reason.

  "I'm your agent. This is your first time filming a scene like this, so you can't be without someone familiar around you. If anything goes wrong, I can stop it in time."

  Jiang Mu looked confused and asked, "What could be a problem?"

  It's the same thing every time, agent, agent, they say it like it's true.

  Lu Ran looked at her and said firmly, "Anyway, it's better if I'm there."

  Jiang Mu: "I don't think it's necessary."

  Lu Ran frowned.

  The more Jiang Mu didn't want to be there, the more he insisted on being there.

  He turned and walked out of the RV.

  Only after he left did Jiang Mu burst out laughing.

  Once a man falls in love, he will become love-brained.

  There is not even one exception.

  It's really disappointing.

  …..

  Lu Ran came out of the RV and went to find Guo Qiyue.

  He proposed that he wanted to be present during the filming of the next scene, which surprised Guo Qiyue.

  But Lu Ran was worthy of being a gold medal agent. He used his eloquence and said a few words, and Guo Qiyue agreed.

  The main reason is that Lu Ran grasped Guo Qiyue's weakness. After all, Lu Ran is Jiang Mu's agent, and her schedule and work are arranged by Lu Ran. If Lu Ran does not let Jiang Mu concentrate on filming "Falling" and arranges other work for her, then the entire crew will have to accommodate Jiang Mu's time, and the progress of filming will be affected.

  What's more, Lu Ran hinted in his words that he was the investor of the film and had a strong background.

  Guo Qiyue had no choice but to agree.

  "Okay. Since you're Jiang Mu's agent, you can watch from the side later. But one thing is, you can't interfere with the filming."

  Lu Ran hummed, and his expression didn't look much better.

  Although Guo Qiyue didn't know why Lu Ran had such a sour face as if someone owed him money, he was sure it was related to Jiang Mu.

  Thinking of how well Jiang Mu had been performing recently, he said a few nice words to Jiang Mu.

  However, when he talked about Jiang Mu, he mentioned Xu Cheng and praised the two of them together.

  "You know what, they cooperated really well. They weren't even afraid of the intimate scenes. I can't tell that Jiang Mu had never filmed an intimate scene before."

  Guo Qiyue became more and more excited as he spoke. After all, he was the one who discovered Xu Cheng. The same was true for Jiang Mu, because Jiang Mu had previously starred in idol dramas that had not received very good reviews. This was her first time playing the leading role, and she was able to perform so well. This was certainly due to her own talent and hard work, but part of it was also thanks to him.

  So as the mentor of the two, he can't help but be a little proud. "When the movie is released, maybe there will be CP fans. Even I think they are a good match when they stand together. After getting into the role, their eyes are simply amazing. You will see it later. That kind of exciting sexual tension can give people goose bumps through the screen. It's amazing to watch it live."

  Lu Ran's face was as dark as water and as cold as ice.

  "Yeah?"

  Guo Qiyue felt a chill, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Ran, only to see Lu Ran walking away with a sneer.

  Guo Qiyue: "What's wrong with this person?"

  …..

  By the time the filming was about to start, almost all the staff on the scene had cleared out, leaving only the director and a few necessary people, but the only one who was missing was Lu Ran, who was a stranger to everyone.

  Lu Ran moved a chair and sat in the corner. Although it was darker over there, he exuded an aura that no one could ignore. Just sitting there, people couldn't help but look over.

  His strong and gloomy expression just intimidated several staff members who walked past him.

  Everyone was whispering.

  "Who is this person?"

  "I heard he's Ms. Jiang's agent."

  "Ah? Then why is he here? Isn't the place cleared? Is he going to watch here?"

  "That's probably the case. He's probably worried that his artist will suffer."

  "That's quite caring, but there's nothing to worry about. Everyone is so professional."

  "That's true, but the director didn't say anything."

  These people's words were heard by Xu Cheng, who had just changed his clothes.

  Xu Cheng blinked, his eyes flickered, his mouth was pursed, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

  The director turned around and saw Xu Cheng, and shouted loudly: "Xu Cheng, I've been waiting for you, what are you dawdling for?"

  Lu Ran turned around and looked at Xu Cheng, his eyes becoming even colder. When Xu Cheng walked past him, he looked at him.

  Lu Ran held a cigarette between his fingers, but it was not lit. It seemed as if he had been playing with it for a long time. The long cigarette was no longer as straight as when he first took it out.

  Smoking is not allowed here. Lu Ran wanted to smoke but couldn't, so he held it in his hand and treated it as a toy.

  When Xu Cheng looked over, he suddenly broke the cigarette in his hand.

  Xu Cheng's body stiffened, and he froze in shock. He looked at Lu Ran with narrowed eyes. His originally calm and gentle eyes became sharp and cold.

  Lu Ran smiled and crushed the broken cigarette into two pieces, and the tobacco fell to the ground.

  His action was undoubtedly a warning to him.

  But Xu Cheng said calmly: "Don't litter casually, thank you."

  Lu Ran didn't say anything. The look he gave Xu Cheng was clearly indifferent, but Xu Cheng saw a provocative meaning in it.

  "Okay, everyone take your positions on the scene, and we'll start once the actors are ready."

  The director finished speaking.

  Lu Ran whispered to Xu Cheng: "I look forward to your performance."

  Xu Cheng: "There's no need to look forward to it, just don't affect me."

  After saying that, he left without looking back.

  Jiang Mu has already sat down.

  As soon as Xu Cheng and the director shouted "start", he entered Lin Yuting's state.

  There was a cruel smile on Xu Cheng's face. His snow-white skin was bloodless, yet had a strange beauty.

  He pressed Jiang Mu on the bed, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.

  His suppressed desire was like erupting lava, so hot that it could burn people.

  At this moment, he had become the crazy Lin Yuting.

  Lin Yuting looked at Xue Luo, his deep voice carrying a hint of sarcasm and barely perceptible love, "You can't escape."

  …..

  Everyone present held their breath, waiting for Xu Cheng's emotional outburst in the next second.

  Xu Cheng bit Jiang Mu's lips, and their bodies were entangled together.

  At the same time, Lu Ran clenched his fists.

  It was unknown how long the kiss lasted, but Lu Ran felt as if ten thousand years had passed.

  His heart was beating violently and it hurt a little.

  It was hard to breathe and there was a disgusting fishy smell in the air.

  He forced himself to watch what was happening not far away.

  He thought he could look at all this calmly, but it seemed that he overestimated himself and underestimated the importance of Jiang Mu in his heart.

  In this game, Lu Ran knew deeply that he had lost.

  He was completely defeated before the game even started.

  He cursed in his heart and stared at Jiang Mu and Xu Cheng coldly. After a few seconds, he stood up suddenly. His foot hit the chair and kicked it over with a loud noise.
