CH 126.1

Cheng Tong hung up the phone and sat in the living room, screening the scripts while waiting for Nie Zhen'er to return.



The film that Nie Zhen’er participated in has just finished, so Cheng Tong hasn’t arranged another job for her for the time being and gave her a week off. Today is the first day of the break. Nie Zhen’er said that she wanted to go out shopping while she wasn’t famous yet. However, Cheng Tong still had work and couldn’t accompany her.



At nine o'clock in the evening, Luan Qing Xiao drove Nie Zhen'er to her apartment. Nie Zhen'er had unbuckled the seat belt and was about to get out of the car when Luan Qing Xiao hugged her, "Stay with me for a little longer."



Nie Zhen'er hugged Luan Qing Xiao back and whispered softly, "We have plenty of time in the future. Tong jie will suspect me if I go back too late."



"At least kiss me before you leave." Luan Qing Xiao let go and gazed at Nie Zhen'er deeply.



Nie Zhen'er touched her lips with the tip of her tongue, "sssi!" All the little nicks were caused by Luan Qing Xiao, "No way, my lips can’t handle even another kiss."



"I’ll only gently peck you." Luan Qing Xiao's low hoarse voice enticed Nie Zhen'er.



Nie Zhen'er looked into Luan Qing Xiao's eyes and blushed, lowering her gaze to Luan Qing Xiao's lips, "You promised, only a gentle peck."



Facing Luan Qing Xiao’s aggressive gaze, Nie Zhen’er closed her eyes in embarrassment and slowly approached Luan Qing Xiao. The moment her lips touched a soft spot, Nie Zhen’er moved away and opened her eyes, “All done, I really have to go now."



Luan Qing Xiao touched her cheek. There was still the feeling of Nie Zhen'er's lips lingering, "Although you kissed the wrong place, I’ll reluctantly let it pass."



Nie Zhen'er could leave now, but she felt reluctant and the hand holding Luan Qing Xiao's hand wouldn’t let go.



"I can't bear to leave you~" Nie Zhen'er pressed her cheek against Luan Qing Xiao's body and drew circles on the palm of her hand.



Luan Qing Xiao was getting worked up by her actions and rubbed the top of her hair, "If you don't go now, you will regret it tomorrow. Go on now, for your acting dream."



Nie Zhen'er raised her head, "You’re right, I really have to leave this time." Her first sentence is correct, but she isn’t doing this for her acting dream. It was to be with Luan Qing Xiao in an open and honest manner, so she was working hard to become a true Phoenix.



Nie Zhen'er walked back into the apartment building, turning back every few steps. Next, she rode the elevator to the outside of her door and took out the key to unlock the door. Then, she opened the door and changed into indoor slippers.



Turning the corner to the living room, Nie Zhen’er found Cheng Tong sitting on the sofa with arms crossed in thought, with laptops and tablets around her.



"Tong jie." Nie Zhen'er walked over and looked at the lit screen, "Is there a good script?"



Cheng Tong heard Nie Zhen'er's voice and recovered her senses. She relaxed her arms and leaned on the back of the sofa, raising her hand to look at the time on the watch, "It's half past nine, I remember you said you’ll be back at nine o'clock."



Nie Zhen'er blushed. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Cheng Tong, saying nothing.



She'd been in the car with Luan Qing Xiao, nuzzling her for half an hour, which was why she came back late.



"Did you drink?" Cheng Tong suddenly smelled a faint scent of alcohol.



Nie Zhen'er immediately raised her index finger, "I only drank a little bit and didn’t get drunk."



"Who did you go shopping with today?" Cheng Tong patted the position next to her, motioning to Nie Zhen'er to sit down and talk.



Nie Zhen’er sat down next to Cheng Tong, blinking her clear almond eyes, "With my friend, the friend I told you who was going to rent the apartment to me two days ago. I have known her for five years and met before signing into the company. She is a woman, not a man."



Cheng Tong: "... …" Alright, at least you know you can't be with a man.



"En, I won't intervene any more with your friend. I know you’re a well-measured good girl."



"By the way, the general manager called me today and said that the company has rented you a new apartment and wants you to move in as soon as possible."



"Tong jie, what about you?" Nie Zhen’er asked.



"I’ll still live here." Cheng Tong looked at Nie Zhen'er's unrestrained smile and couldn’t help smiling as well, "You want to live by yourself that much?"



"Yeah, it's more comfortable to live by myself." Nie Zhen'er said, "After I move, Tong jie can live by yourself. You also must be very happy now."



Cheng Tong nodded, "That is right."



"I just skimmed a few scripts, and one of them seems decent. I'll send it to you later since you look like you can't even keep your eyes open anymore. Go and rest, just read the script tomorrow."



Nie Zhen'er went out for a date with Luan Qing Xiao early this morning. The two went shopping, watched a movie, ate and played at an amusement park for a whole day. If it wasn’t for her great body constitution, she would have been dead tired by now.



Returning to her room, Nie Zhen’er clicked on WeChat. Luan Qing Xiao sent a message five minutes ago saying that she had arrived home.



Nie Zhen’er immediately pressed the video call sign. It took more than ten seconds for Luan Qing Xiao to accept it.



"Zhen’er." Luan Qing Xiao's background is in the bathroom. She was currently lying in the bathtub with a layer of fine bubbles on the water surface.



Nie Zhen'er lay on the bed and turned sideways to hold her mobile phone. "When I came back, Tong jie told me about moving and she said that the general manager personally called her. You were probably behind this, right?"



"My cousin and your boss know each other pretty well. They often hang out together, so I had my cousin bring it up with him."



"But I’ll still be in the danger of being discovered if I move out. If Tong jie comes over and sees everything in the house is in pairs, we will definitely not be able to hide our relationship." Nie Zhen'er exclaimed in distress.



"Relax, I already thought it out for you. The apartment is a two-family condo. I bought the entire flat. You can move your things to Apartment 01, while we can live in Apartment 02 together. Don't worry, before you become the film queen like you deserved, I will definitely help you keep us a secret."



Only now was Nie Zhen'er relieved.



Early the next morning, Nie Zhen’er checked the time as soon as she woke up. Seeing it was half past eight, she sent Luan Qing Xiao a good morning text and got up to freshen herself.



After breakfast, Nie Zhen'er went to the study to examine the script that Cheng Tong sent her.



Nie Zhen'er first skimmed the plot once to see if it was good before she began to read it carefully in more detail. This script was adapted from an online novel. Nie Zhen'er became interested and went to the website to also read the novel. The day passed by just like that.



During dinner, Nie Zhen’er said to Cheng Tong, "Tong jie, I think the script is not bad."



Cheng Tong smiled, "I knew you would like it. Which role do you want? The director wants you to play Fang Fei, but I think you can try to challenge the role of Xing'er."



"Tong jie, you really know me too well. I also want to play Xing’er." Nie Zhen’er was a little hesitant though, "But the director wants me to play another role. Will he disagree if I want to play Xing’er?"



Cheng Tong confidently smirked, "He can disagree now, but Tong jie will persuade him otherwise. You just wait for the good news." Their Zhen’er was a natural actress. As long as she wants to act a role, she’ll give her the role she wants.



"En!"



On the other side, Wen Mu's situation is really terrible.



On the day he returned home, he not only found that he had an extra brother that both his parents spoiled, but also found that his bedroom had become his brother's playroom, causing him to be infuriated.



He had to check all the rooms on the second floor before finding his own room. His bedroom was actually moved to the dark side!



Originally, the master bedroom on the second floor was occupied by Wen Qi and Shui Yan Xin, while he lived in the secondary bedroom. However, now a partition was added to the master bedroom and a small bed was included for Wen Cheng. The secondary bedroom was changed to Wen Cheng’s playroom. His secondary bedroom was changed to the smallest and shadiest room.



Wen Mu thought a lot while waiting for Wen Qi and Shui Yanx Xin to come back.



Initially, he wanted to wait for them to come back and throw a huge tantrum to express his dissatisfaction and sadness with them. But then he thought, if Wen Qi and Shui Yan Xin only had one son, they might have a little compassion and love facing the hysterical him. Yet now, they have a candidate to replace him. If he argues with them, they’ll only say that he isn’t "filial", which will give them an excuse not to let him inherit the company, or even not give him any inheritance to leave everything to Wen Cheng.



This is something he never wants to see!
