Chapter 10 Reunited
- Cheng Xiangyun had almost lost her mind by now. Hence, she did as she was told by the childish and yet calm voice on the phone.
- At the set, Nan Chen's expression grew impatient as he watched the performance of Luo Fei and her acting partner.
- They were completely overacting with very stiff body language and their eyes looked empty. It was a complete disaster.
- Nan Chen had lost all hope in Luo Fei's acting skills but she did have a huge fan base and could easily rake up a lot of views. So, he decided to give her an opportunity anyway in order to repay her for saving his life back then.
- However, some skilled actors were still required to produce a good film. It would be a very terrible movie if they relied solely on the actors' fame.
- He had hoped for the films invested by his company to sell well but that did not mean he would put up with poor quality work.
- Their company's reputation would be badly affected if they kept producing terrible movies. They would end up losing more than what they had gained.
- As Nan Chen continued watching, he saw that practically none of the candidates that came for the audition were good in acting.
- It didn't matter if they were crying, laughing or even just maintaining a neutral expression. They were all overacting in their own ways.
- Jiang Zhe was getting very nervous as he watched from the side. As he was about to say something, Nan Chen's phone rang.
- Nan Chen frowned and glanced at the stage, then stood up and walked away to a quiet spot.
- When Luo Fei saw that Nan Chen had left, she stopped her acting to follow him.
- She knew Nan Chen was coming for the audition but she hadn't even finished her part in the film which she had prepared for so long.
- But Jiang Zhe stopped her before she could take a step further, “Ms. Luo, please do not disturb Sir Chen.”
- Luo Fei gritted her teeth in anger but dared not take another step. It would not end well for her if she annoyed Nan Chen.
- Nan Chen had walked quite far away before he found an empty spot. His bodyguards secured the area behind him.
- He was about to leave after he finished talking on the phone when he heard a woman's faint cries for help.
- Nan Chen followed the voice and came to a door.
- As he tried to track the voice, it vanished out of a sudden.
- In the room behind the door, Ning Ran wiped her face in despair.
- Her nose and mouth were covered by a handkerchief so she held her breath subconsciously but still inhaled some of the drug and fainted.
- There was no signal on her cellphone.
- Ning Ran closed her eyes. She could hear the voice of her cute angels in her head.
- They had gotten out of bed really early today just to tell her, “Give it your best, Mommy!”
- No, there was no way she would give up now.
- Ning Ran dug out a card from her handbag and tried to unlock the door with it.
- Outside the door, Nan Chen frowned in confusion. Could it be that he had misheard?
- As he was about to leave, he heard a rustling noise coming from behind the door.
- Someone inside was trying to open the door.
- He stopped hesitating, took two steps back and rammed into the door.
- The door suddenly opened from the inside. He couldn’t stop in time and fell on top of the person inside.
- The person had a soft body with a faint scent of orange blossom perfume. It instantly reminded him of that night from five years ago.
- Ning Ran's eyes flushed after being tackled to the ground.
- She struggled hard but the man was so heavy that she couldn't move at all.
- “Let me go! I have to get to the audition...”
- In the dim storage room, Nan Chen felt his entire body getting hotter as the woman struggled beneath him.
- He tried to prop himself up but slipped and fell back onto her.
- Ning Ran was both embarrassed and furious at this point. Then, she felt something hot sticking to her leg.
