CHAPTER 221: 221: DRAMA CREW ROMANCE

"Brother Jiang..." Lian Nicang walked up to Jiang Nuo, just about to speak, when she heard "I love you," and her smile froze on her lips.

"Wife, say it too~" Jiang Nuo didn’t notice someone approaching, or if he did, he didn’t care, he was just continually being coy with Mu Qiuniang.

Today his wife finally spoke, how could he miss this opportunity? He should push his luck when he can.

"Don’t push it, do you want me to come see you or not?" Mu Qiuniang seemed a bit exasperated and embarrassed.

This guy, you’d think his face could get thicker through a phone.

"Of course I want to, wife, are you going to come see me?" Jiang Nuo sounded thrilled.

"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang said calmly, "The housekeeper has already booked a plane ticket."

Jiang Nuo thought she was talking about the Mu family’s housekeeper and didn’t think much of it.

"Then I’ll wait for you, wife!" Jiang Nuo said sweetly as he hung up the phone.

As he turned around, he got a fright.

"Why are you like a ghost following me?"

"Brother Jiang, who were you just talking to?" Lian Nicang’s tone was a bit resentful.

Jiang Nuo was baffled: "Of course I was talking to my wife, what’s it to you?"

Of course, his wife, she didn’t seem to have the right to be angry! If he wasn’t calling his own wife, it would be better, then she could righteously scold him, but...

The man she liked, how could he be such a person?

She lowered her head, feeling a bit down: "Break time is over, Director Mu wants to film the next scene."

"Is time already up? I didn’t even notice, time flies when I’m talking to my wife!" Talking about the things Mu Qiuniang mentioned, Jiang Nuo was particularly happy.

But seeing how happy he was, Lian Nicang felt even more despondent. The closer she got to him, the more she discovered his devotion and goodness. The more she was enchanted, and the more she suffered.

Because all his goodness had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Nuo didn’t notice Lian Nicang’s desolation, and even if he did, he probably wouldn’t care.

Is this something he needs to pay attention to?

If you asked Jiang Nuo, he would surely say: "In this life, I only need to pay attention to my wife!"

Lian Nicang’s performance today was particularly bad; she NGed several times in one scene.

Just as they were about to finish filming, such things kept happening, Mu Nan was very angry and couldn’t help shouting at her: "Do you even know how to act? Did you graduate from some obscure university? With acting like yours, even a three-year-old could out-perform you..."

Lian Nicang kept her head down, accepting the scolding: "I’m sorry..."

"If ’sorry’ was useful, why do we need the police? Do you think this is a place to freeload? Apart from your face, what else is good about you? If you can’t perform well, then get out quickly and don’t waste my time, there are plenty of people who want to be in my movie, do you think I can’t find someone else?"

During Mu Nan’s scolding, Jiang Nuo had nothing to do; today his scenes were almost done, he just needed to reshoot a few shots with Lian Nicang.

Jiang Nuo also felt that Lian Nicang was wasting everyone’s time; clearly, she hadn’t performed this poorly before, don’t know why her performance today was so bad, either forgetting lines or her expressions weren’t in place.

This obvious lack of professionalism made Jiang Nuo somewhat unhappy, he hated unprofessional actors the most.

I don’t know if Jiang Nuo’s disdainful look got to Lian Nicang, she suddenly collapsed on the ground and burst into tears: "Wah wah wah... wah wah wah wah..."

Everyone was left speechless: "..."

Because of the director’s relationship, it’s common that Mu Nan scolds people during filming, but no little girl has ever cried like her.

Was Director Mu too harsh this time?

Someone in the crew, feeling some compassion, gave Mu Nan a reproachful glance.

Could it really be that he was too harsh? Mu Nan felt somewhat embarrassed. He was just losing his temper, couldn’t hold back, it was nothing personal.

"If we’re not filming for now, I’ll go back and rest first." It’s not that Jiang Nuo is heartless, it’s just that this girl seems to have a thing for him, and he doesn’t want to engage with her, so he can only avoid her as much as possible.

"Ah, oh, no problem, you can go first." Mu Nan wasn’t called Mu for nothing, seeing Jiang Nuo’s desire to avoid, how could he not understand?

Since Jiang Nuo joined their crew, it has been fraught with challenges, from being kidnapped to unwanted advances, first from Xu Ruoxuan, now another with Lian Nicang.

If Jiang Nuo was actively seeking attention, it would be easier to deal with, but, everyone in the crew knows how devoted he is. Except for his wife, he speaks to other women as little as possible, watches them as little as possible. He’s already avoided them this much, so if there are still advances, it really can’t be blamed on him.

Ah... is it the charm of an international star, or Jiang Nuo’s own allure!

Lian Nicang seeing Jiang Nuo leave, cried even more sorrowfully and desperately. Even now, he doesn’t even come to take a glance at her?

Doesn’t he know how much she loves him?

Really, she never thought of being the other woman, disrupting his marriage. She just wanted to be a little closer to him, even just as friends, she’d be satisfied.

But why, can’t he even grant her this?

"Wah wah wah wah... wah wah wah... "

People who don’t know might think she was crying because the director scolded her, probably only she knows why exactly she’s crying.

The night quickly fell.

Jiang Nuo was in a great mood, humming a tune while showering because he knew that tomorrow Mu Qiuniang would come to see him.

"Wife is number one, husband is number two/You are my heart, you are my liver/I don’t ask you to make money, no need for you to be a government official/This lifetime is destined to revolve around you..."

As he was singing, the doorbell rang, and he was a bit conflicted: Who could be looking for him at this hour?

He quickly dried his hair, put on a bathrobe, and peeked through the peephole to see who it was.

Seeing it was Lian Nicang, Jiang Nuo immediately had the impulse to pretend he wasn’t in.

After spending over ten minutes changing into casual clothes, the doorbell continued ringing every minute, and he had no choice but to open the door, but he didn’t immediately invite her in. He asked from behind the door, "It’s quite late, do you need something from me?"

"Yes!" Lian Nicang replied.

He smelled some alcohol on her and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

"Are you concerned about me?" Lian Nicang, likely slightly drunk, tilted her head and smiled at him.

Jiang Nuo’s expression immediately darkened; there was nothing good about dealing with a drunk, especially a female drunk interested in him.

"What’s your manager’s number? I’ll give him a call."

"No! I won’t tell you, you’ll just have him come to pick me up. You bad guy, why are you so awful! You clearly know I like you..."
