[World 7] Chapter 184

　　Lu Ran stared at Xu Cheng, his eyes becoming colder and colder, "That's not a good thing."

　　Xu Cheng remained silent, and Lu Ran couldn't see through his thoughts.

　　Soon the elevator reached the first floor, and the two people came out of the elevator one after another. Then they were like two strangers, and no one looked at each other. However, if anyone got close to them, they could sense a creepy aura.

　　Lu Ran returned to Jiang Mu's room with the takeaway. He was almost sober now.

　　At this time, Jiang Mu was still reading the script. During the time when Lu Ran was out, she read more than ten pages and was completely attracted by the story.

　　As soon as Lu Ran came in, she said to him, "I want to try this."

　　Lu Ran: "Do you want to act in this play?"

　　Jiang Mu: "Well, I like this role."

　　The role of the supporting actress was tailor-made for her. She was a villainous scumbag who played the hero and heroine around and even deceived the hero's feelings.

　　Jiang Mu didn't read the end, but she could tell with her toes that characters like this wouldn't have a good ending. Most of the time their schemes would be exposed, or they would be moved at the last moment and put down their butcher knives to become Buddhas.

　　However, the merits outweigh the flaws, and Jiang Mu still likes this role.

　　She was quite looking forward to taking on a new role in half a month, but this also meant that her brief romance with Xu Cheng was about to end.

　　Lu Ran: "Then I'll find a chance to arrange a meeting between you and the director. The female supporting role hasn't been decided yet."

　　Jiang Mu smiled and nodded: "Well, let's eat first."

　　…..

　　While eating, Lu Ran told Jiang Mu about the call he had just received from Qin Che.

　　Jiang Mu showed a surprised look at the right moment, "He called? What did he say?"

　　Lu Ran observed her reaction and didn't see anything wrong, so he said, "He didn't say anything. He said he would call you later."

　　Jiang Mu said, "Then what did you say?"

　　Lu Ran: "I told him not to contact you."

　　Lu Ran did not hide it, but Jiang Mu looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you telling him this? There is no possibility for him and me to be together."

　　"You think so, but Qin Che doesn't seem to think so. From what I see from him, he wants to reconcile with you."

　　Jiang Mu pretended not to believe it and said, "It's impossible. You think too much."

　　Lu Ran: "Am I overthinking it? You will know in a few days. He will definitely come to you again. If you can't handle it well, tell me and I will handle it."

　　Jiang Mu: "Okay, I understand."

　　Lu Ran thought about it and felt a little worried. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. What exactly was it that made him so concerned? Qin Che's words just now seemed to reveal that he and Jiang Mu had some relationship.

　　So Lu Ran asked Jiang Mu: "You won't be soft-hearted, right?"

　　Jiang Mu: "Don't worry, I won't remarry him."

　　This is not a lie, remarriage is impossible.

　　But it is not impossible to develop something else.

　　Anyway, her principle is to take everything and not be responsible.

　　It was just bad luck for Qin Che to meet her. Since he took the initiative to call her, she had to start hanging up the phone.

　　…..

　　Lu Ran stayed in Jiang Mu's room until after ten o'clock in the evening before leaving. He originally wanted to wait for something to happen before leaving, but Jiang Mu was very determined. She said that the last time was just an accident and she had to focus on her career and couldn't make the same mistake with him again.

　　Lu Ran was very depressed after hearing this. This was the first time in his life that he met a woman who rejected him several times in a row. What's more, they had already had sex, but Jiang Mu didn't seem to care at all.

　　It seemed as if it was really like what she said, and she just regarded that as an accident.

　　Jiang Mu refused to listen to any persuasion, and Lu Ran had no choice. Unless he could really harden his heart and break up with Jiang Mu, he could only respect Jiang Mu's choice.

　　He really had no experience. He had never pursued anyone before. The most he had done was to give them some gifts.

　　That's right…

　　Send a gift.

　　Lu Ran suddenly thought that he seemed to have only told Jiang Mu that he wanted her to be with him, but he had never given Jiang Mu any gifts.

　　However, Jiang Mu is not short of money. What should he give to move Jiang Mu and make her change her mind?

　　Lu Ran fell into deep thought.

　　On the way back, he thought for a long time in the car and finally thought of a gift that Jiang Mu would like.

　　Didn't she just say that she wanted to play the supporting actress in "Thunderbolt"? It's not that difficult, he can just get it done for her.

　　In fact, with Lu Ran's ability, let alone the supporting actress, even if Jiang Mu wanted to play the leading actress, he could get it, just to make Jiang Mu happy.

　　It seems that Jiang Mu's birthday is coming soon in a few days.

　　At that time, he will prepare a decent birthday gift for Jiang Mu, and maybe Jiang Mu will understand that he is serious about her and not just playing around.

　　…..

　　After Lu Ran left, Xu Cheng knocked on Jiang Mu's door.

　　Jiang Mu looked at him with a half-smile when she opened the door, "What's wrong? Do you still want to act with me tonight?"

　　Xu Cheng was silent for a few seconds and said, "No."

　　Jiang Mu sensed that Xu Cheng was in a bad mood, so she said, "Then come in first and talk."

　　Xu Cheng: "Yeah."

　　Xu Cheng came to see Jiang Mu because he was feeling unwell.

　　Just now in the room, he kept thinking about what Lu Ran said, about being too immersed in the role and ending his relationship with Jiang Mu after the filming was finished.

　　He pretended not to care at the time, but he was actually deeply touched.

　　Although he knew in his heart that he was not so deeply involved with Jiang Mu just because he was too immersed in the role. He was really attracted to Jiang Mu, which made him obsessed and agreed to act with her in the hotel room at night.

　　However, after so much time has passed, they have never discussed what to do after the filming is completed.

　　It seems like this is something that doesn't need to be discussed.

　　So what does Jiang Mu think?

　　With such questions, Xu Cheng was in a bad mood and very tormented, so he came here.

　　After entering the room, Xu Cheng saw the takeaway bag on the table at a glance.

　　This must be what Lu Ran brought before.

　　Xu Cheng's intuition told him that Lu Ran's concern for Jiang Mu was not the same as an agent's concern for an artist.

　　"What do you want to say?" Jiang Mu asked after closing the door.

　　Xu Cheng: "Did your agent just leave?"

　　Jiang Mu: "Well, he originally said he wanted to go out to eat with me, but he was drunk, so I just ordered takeout and ate in the room. After dinner, we talked about work, and then he left."

　　Xu Cheng: "Is that so?"

　　Xu Cheng didn't know how to tell Jiang Mu. Originally, Jiang Mu just said at the beginning that it was just a rehearsal and he couldn't help himself and had sex with Jiang Mu. Afterwards, he actually wanted to tell Jiang Mu that they should just get together.

　　However, it seemed that every time he wanted to speak, Jiang Mu would change the subject.

　　Xu Cheng somewhat suspected that Jiang Mu did it on purpose.

　　However, he had no evidence, especially when facing Jiang Mu's delicate and beautiful eyes.

　　His heart was beating wildly and even thinking was difficult.

　　God knows how much control he had to exert when filming to keep his emotions steady and not let Xu Cheng's feelings overwhelm Lin Yuting's.

　　"Are you worried about tomorrow's shoot?"

　　Jiang Mu actually guessed the purpose of Xu Cheng's visit.

　　Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed when he thought about the scenes he was going to shoot tomorrow. "No, there's nothing to worry about."

　　Jiang Mu sighed, "Actually, I'm very worried."

　　After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Cheng, "I'm actually very afraid of the dark. I'm afraid I won't perform well during the filming tomorrow."

　　Xu Cheng: "No, you have to believe in yourself."

　　Jiang Mu shook her head, "I'll try my best, will you help me?"

　　Xu Cheng was interrupted like this and forgot what he wanted to say.

　　"Well, of course I'll help you."

　　Jiang Mu reached out and held his hand. "Xu Cheng, you are so good to me. Without you, I would not have been able to complete it. I really hope that I can continue to work with you in the future. Although you are a few years younger than me, as long as you are by my side, I feel very stable and at ease. I want to rely on you. Do you know that you give me great strength?"

　　Jiang Mu's words made Xu Cheng very happy. He didn't expect that he was so important to Jiang Mu.

　　This made him happy, but also a little embarrassed.

　　"Really?"

　　His cheeks were flushed, his heart was burning, and the heat was flowing through his body. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and he felt that the air he breathed out was hot.

　　"Of course." Jiang Mu looked at him with a smile, the light in her eyes as bright as stars.

　　Xu Cheng mustered up the courage to ask what was worrying him, "Then... after the filming is finished, will you still need me?"

　　Jiang Mu blinked and said in confusion: "Of course, why do you ask? Wrapping up only means that the filming of this movie has been completed, but we will still keep in touch."

　　After hearing her answer, Xu Cheng knew that he had not explained himself clearly and Jiang Mu had misunderstood him.

　　"No, that's not what I meant."

　　He was a little anxious.

　　Jiang Mu patted his back gently, "Xu Cheng, don't think too much. Something is wrong with you today. Is it because you are not acting with me tonight and you are not used to it?"

　　Xu Cheng was stunned, and Jiang Mu quickly hugged his waist, "How about we rehearse tomorrow's scene?"

　　Jiang Mu's breath fell on his ears, feeling itchy and a little hot.

　　"I..." Xu Cheng's breathing became disordered and a series of thoughts began to emerge in his mind.

　　Tomorrow's scene will be the most passionate part of the entire film.

　　Lin Yuting imprisoned Xue Luo, blindfolded her, and drugged her, leaving her weak and powerless, unable to even speak.

　　Lin Yuting was blinded by anger and wanted to take revenge on Xue Luo at first, but he soon found that he couldn't do it because he had fallen in love with Xue Luo.

　　He thought he was going to die soon, so he just indulged himself in the last moments with her. They did a lot of crazy things in the prison.

　　Xu Cheng: "But..."

　　Jiang Mu held his face with her hands: "But what? Don't you want to?"

　　Xu Cheng shook his head, panting, wanting to refuse, "No..."

　　Jiang Mu showed a hurt look, "Okay, if you don't want to, forget it. Sorry."

　　"Don't be sorry, I just think that what we did is not good for you." Xu Cheng hurriedly explained to her, and then whispered: "You... you can tell your agent about our rehearsal tonight?"

　　Jiang Mu shook her head. "No, we agreed that this is our secret. I haven't told anyone else."

　　Xu Cheng hesitated and said, "Aren't you worried that I'll tell others about it?"

　　Jiang Mu found it funny. Of course, I asked you to come because I am not worried.

　　What a lovely child.

　　She widened her eyes and looked at Xu Cheng seriously, "I have never doubted you, I believe you won't."

　　Xu Cheng: "Yeah."

　　Jiang Mu: "You are very strange today, what's wrong with you?"

　　Xu Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly called her name: "Jiang Mu."

　　Jiang Mu: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

　　Xu Cheng: "If I say I like you, will you still do this to me?"
