"I'm sober, I'm not drunk." Lu Ran pushed her hand away with a stern look.
"Yeah, right. You're not drunk yet, you're just talking drunkenly now." Jiang Mu smiled, "Brother Lu Ran, what do you want to eat? I'll order takeout for you."
Lu Ran: "No takeout."
Jiang Mu: "Okay then, I'll eat alone."
Lu Ran: "…"
Jiang Mu's attitude made Lu Ran very unhappy.
But Jiang Mu seemed to really intend to order takeout, and picked up her phone as soon as she sat down.
Coincidentally, Xie Qianqian's message also came.
Xie Qianqian: [ I sent it to you, take a look. ]
Above the message were two photos.
One of the photos was a little dark. Under the dim light, there were three or five boys sitting at a table not far away. They didn't look very old, at most in their twenties. They had handsome features, but in Jiang Mu's opinion, they were still not good enough and couldn't arouse her interest.
Jiang Mu replied: [ Yeah, it's pretty good. ]
Xie Qianqian: [ Is there any of your type? ]
Jiang Mu: [ No. ]
Xie Qianqian; [ Okay, you said you had sex with Qin Che last time, what happened afterwards? ]
When Jiang Mu received the message, she suddenly became nervous. She looked up at Lu Ran, only to see Lu Ran standing behind her, staring at the phone in her hand.
Jiang Mu's heart tightened, not knowing whether Lu Ran had seen anything. She deleted the dialog box calmly.
Then she opened the food delivery app.
She spent a long time choosing among various gourmet restaurants and finally chose one. She ordered four dishes, a soup, and three bowls of rice, which should be enough for the two of them.
During this process, Jiang Mu kept receiving messages from Xie Qianqian.
But she didn't click it. Instead, she put the phone aside, stood up and said to Lu Ran, "Brother Lu Ran, do you want to drink some milk? There's milk in the refrigerator. Drink some to sober you up."
Lu Ran: "Yeah."
Jiang Mu: "Then go get it, it's in the refrigerator."
Lu Ran thought she would help him get it, but she asked him to get it himself.
"I don't want to drink anymore."
His tone was a little capricious, and he sat down next to Jiang Mu after he finished speaking.
Many men become completely different people after they get drunk.
The same is true for Lu Ran.
Jiang Mu thought it was quite interesting.
Jiang Mu: "I ordered some food for you, let's eat together later."
Hearing this, Lu Ran felt a little better.
"Okay." His brows relaxed a lot and he leaned on Jiang Mu's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
"Why did you leave suddenly today without saying a word?" Jiang Mu asked softly without pushing him away.
When Lu Ran heard this question, he subconsciously frowned, and all his emotions were written on his face.
Whether he is happy or unhappy, his expressions are very obvious. He may be very relaxed one second and then have a stern face as if he is about to lose his temper the next.
"Because I'm in a bad mood."
He waited for Jiang Mu to continue asking, but Jiang Mu just nodded and stopped talking.
Lu Ran asked: "How long will it take you to finish filming?"
Jiang Mu said: "About half a month, almost there, it's progressing very smoothly."
Hearing that there was only half a month left, Lu Ran's expression improved a little.
"Well, it's almost there. What do you think about next?"
Jiang Mu: "I haven't thought about it carefully yet, but I still want to continue filming. Is there any suitable script?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "I'm keeping an eye out for you. There are a few good ones. I'll show them to you later. They're all big productions.
After saying that, he rubbed his temples, as if he had thought of something, took out his phone, opened his email, and clicked on a document, "By the way, do you know Director Yang Yanqi?"
Jiang Mu: "Of course I know."
A famous director, he has made films of many different styles, many of which have won international awards.
"He is currently looking for a supporting actress for the film Thunderbolt directed by him. I think it's a good match for you. The character is very likable. The script just happened to be sent to my email. You can take a look and see if you're interested."
He handed the phone to Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu took it and read a few pages before her eyes lit up.
The beginning is very attractive, telling a story of solving a crime.
Jiang Mu was attracted by the story after reading a little bit, and devoted herself to reading the script until she was interrupted by the sudden ring of an incoming phone call. She then put down Lu Ran's phone.
"Let me answer the phone first. It should be the takeaway calling."
Lu Ran: "I'll get it for you, you continue reading."
Jiang Mu thought about it and decided, it was okay, it was just a phone call anyway, he couldn't open her phone without the password, and he couldn't see her other things.
So Jiang Mu did not stop Lu Ran.
Lu Ran picked up the phone, pressed the answer button and walked out.
Lu Ran said: "It's takeaway, where are you?"
The hotel has strict management and you cannot take the elevator without a room card, so take-out cannot be delivered to the hotel room and is usually delivered to the front desk.
Lu Ran planned to go to the front desk by himself.
But no one spoke on the other end of the phone.
Lu Ran frowned, feeling a little strange.
"Hello?"
…..
Qin Che lost his cell phone and changed his number temporarily, so he took this opportunity to call Jiang Mu to tell her that he had changed his number.
This matter could have been discussed in a message, but Qin Che still wanted to say a few words to Jiang Mu. The two hadn't been in touch since the last time. Two months had passed, and Jiang Mu hadn't contacted him.
He originally thought that he must be more tolerant than Jiang Mu. If Jiang Mu didn't look for him, he wouldn't look for Jiang Mu either.
Turns out, it's been this long.
Jiang Mu didn't even send him a message. Qin Che felt that if he didn't contact Jiang Mu again, Jiang Mu might have forgotten him.
That's why he made this call.
In the end, the person who answered the phone was not Jiang Mu, but a man.
When Qin Che heard the voice, his face turned ugly. He suspected that he had dialed the wrong number, so he picked up the phone and lowered his head to confirm the number. After finding that it was correct, he subconsciously clenched his hand holding the phone.
"Who are you? I'm not a delivery man. I'm looking for Jiang Mu." Qin Che said coldly.
Lu Ran didn't recognize Qin Che's voice, and said calmly: "Looking for Jiang Mu, who are you? She's not here now, I'll ask her to call you back later."
Qin Che was silent for a moment, "No, I'll call her later."
He didn't know the other person's identity, so naturally he couldn't tell the other person who he was.
After all, his relationship with Jiang Mu has not been made public yet.
Lu Ran realized at this moment that the voice sounded a bit like Qin Che. He hesitated for a few seconds and took the initiative to say, "I am Lu Ran, Jiang Mu's agent. You can tell me if you have anything to say."
When Qin Che heard that it was Lu Ran, his expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright and he felt much more relaxed.
He originally thought it was some other man, and since he was with Jiang Mu at this time, they might have a close relationship. He thought that there was already another man by Jiang Mu's side.
Qin Che felt very uncomfortable, but when he knew it was Lu Ran, he felt relieved.
And Jiang Mu said that she had already told Lu Ran about what happened with him.
So Qin Che didn't take precautions, but told Lu Ran, "Hello, I'm Qin Che, I have something to talk to Jiang Mu about, please tell her, I'll call her later."
Lu Ran sneered.
Qin Che vaguely heard laughter, but he was not sure if he had heard it wrongly.
Qin Che: "What's wrong?"
Lu Ran said coldly: "What do you want to talk to Jiang Mu about? Just tell me directly. I don't think she wants to have any contact with you anymore."
Qin Che: "…"
There was a sting in Lu Ran's words, but Qin Che was no fool, so of course he could tell something was wrong.
Qin Che was not to be outdone. His tone was cold and hard, not polite at all: "You are just Jiang Mu's agent. You should not make all the decisions for Jiang Mu. I hope you don't interfere too much in the affairs between Jiang Mu and me."
Lu Ran: "What about you? I'm just a manager, so what's your relationship with Jiang Mu? Are you friends? Or just her ex-husband? What could you possibly want from Jiang Mu?"
Lu Ran said this impulsively, but it was also what he wanted to say. Qin Che hurt Jiang Mu so badly, and now he still wants to go back to find Jiang Mu? No way.
Not to mention that Jiang Mu is the one he loves now, even if he is just Jiang Mu's agent, he will not let Jiang Mu have anything to do with Qin Che again.
Qin Che: "You don't have to worry about this, Manager Lu."
Lu Ran: "I'm sorry, as Jiang Mu's agent, I have an obligation to be responsible for her career, so I also have something to say to you."
Qin Che: "I'm all ears."
Lu Ran: "Please stay away from Jiang Mu in the future."
Qin Che: "Then I also have something to say to you - I can't do it."
Lu Ran's eyes became sharp and gloomy. He sneered and hung up the phone directly.
Qin Che held the phone, frowned tightly, and took a deep breath.
He is not a fool. Is Lu Ran targeting him just because he is Jiang Mu's agent?
The dissatisfaction with him and the concern for Jiang Mu in his tone were too obvious.
Qin Che thought a lot and decided to find time to meet Jiang Mu and explain things to her.
He wanted to start over with Jiang Mu and give himself and their relationship over the years a chance.
He wants to get back everything he missed in the past.
As for Lu Ran, no matter what he thought of Jiang Mu, he would not let him take Jiang Mu away.
…..
After Lu Ran hung up the phone, her cell phone rang again. This time it was a call from the takeaway delivery man.
He talked to the delivery man and told him to leave the food at the front desk and leave.
After entering the elevator, Lu Ran was still thinking about what Qin Che had just said.
It seems that Qin Che wants to go back to their old days.
But with him around, there is no way Qin Che would succeed.
However, judging from the way Jiang Mu mentioned Qin Che before, she might still have feelings for Qin Che.
Lu Ran couldn't help but feel annoyed. If Jiang Mu still liked Qin Che and Qin Che wanted to come back, would Jiang Mu be soft-hearted?
As Lu Ran was thinking, he realized that he did not press the elevator button, so he shook his head and reached out to press the first floor button.
But before the elevator went down, the door opened.
Standing outside the door was Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng was about to go out for dinner, and when he saw Lu Ran, his expression changed.
Lu Ran frowned and stared at Xu Cheng without saying a word.
Xu Cheng walked straight in and glanced at the elevator button. He stood straight, his expression calm and a little cold.
The elevator went down from the 16th floor, and no one else got in.
Lu Ran suddenly said, "I heard from Director Guo that you are a natural actor, you can get into the role quickly, and you can interpret the character perfectly."
Xu Cheng: "Director Guo is overpraising me. It's not that exaggerated."
Lu Ran: "Really? I don't think it's an exaggeration, but... for an excellent actor like you, wouldn't it be easy for you to get too deeply into the role and be affected by the emotions of the character you are playing, and not be able to distinguish between the emotions in the play and the emotions in reality?"
There was something else in Lu Ran's words, and Xu Cheng understood it.
He was saying that he fell in love with Jiang Mu because of the drama, but that was just the influence of the role and not real feelings.
Without waiting for Xu Cheng to speak, Lu Ran smiled and said, "Jiang Mu said that the filming will be finished in half a month. Time flies so fast. By then, you should also withdraw from your roles. This process should be difficult to adapt to."
Xu Cheng said calmly: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe there's no need to withdraw?"
