The next day, at the set of Sound of Thunder 2.
Zheng Lunlun and Ning Ran were practicing their lines with each other. Their charming appearances and superb acting captivated everyone.
They were able to complete the filming of a scene with almost zero errors.
During their lunch break, Zheng Lunlun needed to go shoot other scenes, but he insisted on having lunch with Ning Ran first.
Ning Ran laughed at him, “You’re a huge star and yet you choose to eat the bento provided by the film crew instead of getting some good food outside? How shameless can you get?”
Zheng Lunlun shot back, “Know your place, woman. I’m having lunch with you here. How dare you say I’m shamelessly eating your crew’s bento? I can afford all sorts of luxurious meals out there! I don’t need to be stealing your cheap bento!”
“As if I need your company for lunch! It’s just bento anyway, you don’t have to eat with me!”
Zheng Lunlun got closer, “Actually, I have some things I’d like to ask you about.”
“What do you want to know?”
“I heard you went to my uncle’s office yesterday?” Zheng Lunlun asked mysteriously.
“Who told you that?”
“I may not be involved with my uncle’s work, but I do have a few friends in the office.” Zheng Lunlun said with a sly smile.
“Yes, I was there. What about it?”
“What were you doing there?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“I’m just curious. You’re a couple with my uncle Nan Xing, so why did you go to Uncle Nan Chen’s office?” Zheng Lunlun asked nosily.
“The kids wanted to see him. I was just there to pick them up.” Ning Ran said.
“Why did they want to see him?” Zheng Lunlun was a real busybody.
“What kind of question is that? What reason would the children need to see him? Kids do whatever they like. They don’t need a reason for anything, okay?” Ning Ran said.
“And I thought there was something going on between you and Uncle Nan Chen.” Zheng Lunlun said.
“That’s so nasty. What could I possibly want with Poker Face?”
“But I heard that Uncle Nan Chen had locked himself in his office and refused to come out after you left. Why is that?”
“He must be working then. Isn’t it normal for bosses like them to be working late?”
“I don’t think so. Uncle Nan Chen is the CEO, and rarely stays up all night working. Even though he often ended up work late, he treasures his health and won’t pull all-nighters like this. So, what happened last night must have something to do with you.”
“Something to do with me?”
“Yeah. Such behavior is very abnormal for Uncle Nan Chen, and you happened to visit him yesterday, so you must have something to do with this matter.”
Ning Ran stopped chewing her food, and thought about it.
“Could he have been plotting all night to get rid of me from Flower City for good?”
“He wants to get rid of you? Why?”
“Because he was fighting with me for custody of the children…” Ning Ran suddenly stopped and looked at Zheng Lunlun.
“What now?”
“You wouldn’t happen to be a spy sent by Poker Face, would you? Are you a double agent?”
“What are you saying? Why am I a double agent?”
“Forget it; I’m done talking about this. I can’t trust you right now.” Ning Ran waved her hand.
