Jiang Mu hesitated for a while, and seemed to find it difficult to say it.
Seeing her like this, Lu Ran became even more concerned and looked at her with a sullen face, "Why haven't I heard about it before? Didn't you report your relationship?"
Jiang Mu: "No."
Lu Ran frowned, looking very dissatisfied: "Why didn't you report it? Is the other party an outsider?"
Jiang Mu: "No…"
Lu Ran said coldly: "That's someone in the circle, who is it?"
Jiang Mu took a deep breath, and her expression became painful and sad, as if she was thinking of something unhappy.
This was the first time Lu Ran saw Jiang Mu like this, and he could tell at a glance that Jiang Mu was deeply hurt in this relationship. This could explain why Jiang Mu got sick and gained weight before, probably all because of that man.
Lu Ran felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and he couldn't explain why he was so angry.
Seeing Jiang Mu remain silent, Lu Ran wanted to continue asking, but reason told him not to push too hard.
He waited for a while, and Jiang Mu finally spoke.
"It's Qin Che."
After saying these three words, Jiang Mu lowered her head, looking like she was troubled.
Lu Ran's face changed drastically. In the brief few minutes just now, he had filtered through dozens of male artist's names in his mind. He thought of all the male artists he knew who had worked with Jiang Mu, but... he never expected it to be Qin Che.
Jiang Mu and Qin Che actually had a relationship.
If this news gets out, it will probably make the headlines tonight and stay on the hot search list for two days before the popularity subsides.
But why would it be Qin Che?
Lu Ran couldn't imagine that these two people would be together. They had no chance of any contact at all.
Just as he was thinking hard, Jiang Mu lifted the quilt and got up to get dressed.
Lu Ran grabbed her hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Mu whispered, "I should go now."
Lu Ran: "…"
She was leaving before the matter was even finished, and it seemed that she really didn't intend to be with him.
This realization dealt a certain blow to Lu Ran.
His confidence was a little frustrated, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Don't leave yet. You need to tell me what's going on between you and Qin Che. If it's exposed later, I'll be prepared. As your agent, I need to know this."
Jiang Mu looked at him hesitantly and whispered, "But... didn't you just say that you would no longer be my agent and that you would arrange another agent for me?"
Lu Ran: "...What I meant just now was that if I were with you, I wouldn't be your agent, but now I still am."
Jiang Mu pursed her lips and said, "Okay, but I want to put on my clothes first."
Her shy look reminded Lu Ran of last night.
There were still some traces of him left on Jiang Mu's body. Even though he was very careful and restrained, it was still hard to avoid leaving some traces. Seeing this, Lu Ran became a little uncalm again.
Especially the bite mark on Jiang Mu's shoulder, which seemed to indicate that he had left his own unique mark on Jiang Mu, and Jiang Mu belonged to him.
This thought lingered in Lu Ran's mind, and made him very concerned.
Jiang Mu looked around and didn't see her clothes. She asked awkwardly, "Where are my clothes?"
Lu Ran raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Don't you remember what happened last night?"
Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic: "Did I do something last night?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "You didn't do anything, but your clothes got wet, and then... you took off your skirt and left it downstairs."
What Lu Ran said was not entirely true. A hint of sarcasm flashed across Jiang Mu's eyes. The bastard wanted to lie to her.
It was clearly he who took off her skirt himself.
Although she thought so, Jiang Mu's face was filled with surprise and panic.
"I..." Jiang Mu was extremely embarrassed, her face flushed with shame, and she lowered her head, as if she couldn't accept that she would do such a thing, "I'm drunk, sorry."
"No need to apologize." Lu Ran deliberately made his tone sound indifferent, "The main reason we had sex was because of me. I knew you were drunk, but I didn't reject you."
After saying this, Jiang Mu looked at Lu Ran with some emotion. She bit her lip, her eyes were watery and her face was red, which made her look particularly lovable.
Lu Ran felt a little itchy. He haven't wear his clothes yet so to avoid revealing any clues, he had to say, "Wait a minute, I'll get you some clothes."
So he lifted the quilt, stood up, turned his back to Jiang Mu, and put on his clothes first.
While he was getting dressed, Jiang Mu could clearly see Lu Ran's naked body.
Even though she only saw his back, she could tell he had a great body, broad shoulders, narrow waist, nice hips, and a mermaid line...
After putting on his clothes, Lu Ran said to Jiang Mu, "Wait a moment."
Jiang Mu nodded, but her eyes were drooping and she didn't dare to look at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran smiled faintly, knowing that Jiang Mu was still not used to it and it was normal for her to be shy.
After this little episode, Lu Ran thought that he was Jiang Mu's first sexual partner, and he didn't care so much about the fact that she had been with Qin Che.
Being together is nothing. Neither of them has developed to the final step. If you think about it carefully, they are just good friends.
What's more, they have already separated.
Just being separated from Qin Che made Jiang Mu become like that, which shows that Jiang Mu's feelings for Qin Che are very special.
After Lu Ran brought the clothes up, he let Jiang Mu change clothes alone inside so that she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
After calming down, Lu Ran is still quite gentlemanly and graceful.
After a night, the skirt was dry. Jiang Mu changed her clothes and went downstairs, and saw Lu Ran talking on the phone with someone.
She didn't call Lu Ran. She went to the bathroom, washed her face, used mouthwash, and tidied her manners before coming out of the bathroom.
Lu Ran had just finished a phone call and was sitting in the living room waiting for Jiang Mu.
After seeing Jiang Mu, he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit down, let's talk more."
Jiang Mu walked over slowly, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to sit opposite Lu Ran. As a result, Lu Ran saw what she was thinking, reached out and pulled her over, and she fell on Lu Ran without any preparation.
She looked at Lu Ran awkwardly, "Brother Lu Ran..."
Lu Ran looked calm and said, "I just asked someone to buy some food. Are you hungry?"
Jiang Mu was indeed a little hungry, "A little bit."
"Eat something since you're hungry. Okay, tell me about you and Qin Che. If I'm not mistaken, you suddenly overeat and gain weight because you broke up with Qin Che, right?"
When Jiang Mu heard this, her brows furrowed, "Yeah."
Lu Ran was mentally prepared, but still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
"Then tell me about your affairs."
Lu Ran wanted to know, not entirely out of selfishness. Since he was still Jiang Mu's agent, he really needed to know this.
If this matter were to come to light, without good public relations, Jiang Mu would be greatly affected because Qin Che has such a large fan base, is very capable, and has never had any scandals.
Jiang Mu took a deep breath and told Lu Ran everything about her and Qin Che.
Lu Ran can become a gold medal agent, so he is also very professional in handling the private affairs of artists. He has handled several crises for his artists before. Not only did he reverse the situation, but he also portrayed the male artist who was about to be criticized by the entire network into a loyal and infatuated person.
Jiang Mu herself was also worried that her affair with Qin Che would be exposed. There had been cases before where celebrities were suddenly exposed to be married after their divorce.
If public relations preparations are not made in advance, it will actually be very disadvantageous to the woman.
But the words she told Lu Ran were basically true after she processed them herself, except for some details she did not go into.
After Lu Ran heard this, his expression became strange.
He thought they were just in a relationship, but he didn't expect they were married and now they are divorced.
This was totally different from what he thought.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "I know what happened. I will take care of it. You don't have to worry about what happens next. I just hope you won't hide anything from me in the future."
Jiang Mu nodded, "I understand."
Lu Ran looked at Jiang Mu's face with mixed feelings. He just felt that he had some feelings for Jiang Mu and was even willing to be with her, but suddenly he learned that she had been married to Qin Che and loved Qin Che so deeply that she even fell seriously ill for him.
Although Jiang Mu has figured it out now, Lu Ran still feels unhappy when he thinks that Jiang Mu once loved another man so much.
Besides, Jiang Mu had just rejected him.
…..
After eating, Lu Ran sent Jiang Mu home. When they arrived downstairs of Jiang Mu's house, Lu Ran said, "Is this the house you lived in together before?"
Jiang Mu nodded, "Yes, but I will move out soon and have already found a new house."
When Lu Ran heard this, he felt better. "Well, when you move, I'll arrange for someone to help you."
Jiang Mu said, "Let's wait until after the audition is over."
Lu Ran: "Well, are you sure about this audition?"
Jiang Mu thought about it and said, "I don't know either."
Lu Ran: "Besides you, there are five other actresses vying for this role. However, I think Director Guo likes you very much. As long as you perform well in the audition, I will help you get the role."
Lu Ran's words showed that he now viewed Jiang Mu as more than just an artist under his command.
He would not make such a guarantee to his own artists.
Jiang Mu seemed not to understand the meaning, she just nodded and said: "Thank you, Brother Lu Ran, I will perform well and try to get the role."
Seeing that she was still keeping a distance from him, Lu Ran felt a little depressed.
Jiang Mu was not like this last night.
He preferred to see Jiang Mu like that.
This made him seem like he was being sentimental. Lu Ran suddenly turned cold and said, "Okay, get out of the car."
Jiang Mu: "Okay, I'll go up first, be careful on the way."
Seeing that there was no reluctance in her tone, Lu Ran snorted coldly. Jiang Mu paused for a moment while unbuckling the seat belt and looked at him in confusion.
Lu Ran got excited and suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Jiang Mu looked at him blankly, as if she didn't understand why Lu Ran kissed her just now.
Lu Ran was a little embarrassed and didn't understand why he did this. He didn't explain, but helped her unbuckle her seat belt and said, "Get out of the car."
His voice was a little cold.
Jiang Mu said hesitantly: "Brother Lu Ran, you should not do this in the future. It is not appropriate."
Lu Ran: "…"
If you continue to be so self-indulgent, I will be a dog.
