CHAPTER 1046: CHAPTER 1046: CHU XIAORAN RUNS IN TEARS

Just as Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing were passionately kissing, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the room. Chu Xiaoran burst through the door and ran in, laughing heartily.

"Sis, I’m back."

However, after saying that, Chu Xiaoran froze, staring at where Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing were, her eyes slowly widening.

"Ahem."

Xiao Zheng awkwardly coughed, separated from Leng Ruobing, feeling quite frustrated inside. Just when he was getting romantic with Leng Ruobing, Chu Xiaoran barged in and interrupted.

Thinking about the charming sweetness of Leng Ruobing’s lips and teeth, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but reminisce about that indescribably wonderful taste.

But Xiao Zheng quickly pushed down the chaotic thoughts within him. After all, he hadn’t seen Chu Xiaoran in a long time and really missed this girl. A small smile appeared on his lips.

Looking at Chu Xiaoran, about to speak, Chu Xiaoran pouted, as if she was about to cry. Without saying a word, she ran over and tightly hugged Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng was stunned.

"Stupid Ah Zheng, where have you been all this time! You wouldn’t answer calls, couldn’t be reached by any means, I thought you were never coming back." Chu Xiaoran cried, her little head buried in Xiao Zheng’s broad chest.

Xiao Zheng’s gaze softened, and he reached out to stroke Chu Xiaoran’s hair, smiling slightly, "See, I’m back now? During this period, I had something very important to take care of, so you couldn’t reach me temporarily."

It was only now that Xiao Zheng understood why both Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran had such strong reactions upon his return. They genuinely thought he had disappeared.

After all, during that time, he was engaged in a battle with the Demon Shield Bureau and Kun Gu Ni’er had blocked all technological devices, so there was no way the two girls could contact him.

Chu Xiaoran rubbed her little head against Xiao Zheng’s chest fiercely, and finally raised her head, her eyes were red.

Then, her gaze suddenly became wary, glancing at Xiao Zheng, then at Leng Ruobing, wrinkling her nose, "What were you two doing just now?"

Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing blushed.

Xiao Zheng bitterly smiled inside, thinking that this little girl had forgotten about it. He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, as soon as she recovered from that state of grievance and sadness, she brought up this topic.

Leng Ruobing, on the other hand, was no longer as cold and proud as before. Her face was blushing, feeling a bit embarrassed under Chu Xiaoran’s gaze.

Xiao Zheng coughed dryly and laughed, "Well... just now, your sister accidentally bit her lip, and I was just checking the wound."

"Really?" Chu Xiaoran squinted her eyes, her gaze falling on Leng Ruobing’s open shirt, "Does checking a wound require unbuttoning clothes?"

"Ah."

Leng Ruobing exclaimed softly, only now realizing that she was so nervous earlier that she completely forgot about her shirt situation. She glared at Xiao Zheng, then hurriedly reached out to pull up the neckline of her shirt.

"This shirt is a bit small." Leng Ruobing explained, somewhat lacking confidence.

Chu Xiaoran puffed her cheeks, "Hmph, adulterer and whore!" At the same time, she glanced at Leng Ruobing’s two snow-white bulges, then looked down at her own, feeling a bit melancholic.

Xiao Zheng laughed and tapped Chu Xiaoran’s head, "What are you thinking about? Why are you off work so early today? I remember you’ve been busy with the movie lately."

Xiao Zheng cleverly changed the topic.

Chu Xiaoran naturally understood Xiao Zheng’s intention, but she didn’t want to dwell on the matter either, so she just glared at Xiao Zheng.

"The movie was finished a long time ago!"

"What?" Xiao Zheng was surprised, "The movie was finished so quickly, and it’s been less than three months, right? If I recall correctly, making a movie usually takes a long time."

Chu Xiaoran proudly pointed at herself with her fair finger, "It’s mainly because of my professional competence. Most of the scenes were shot in one take to meet the director’s requirements, and Director Wen Cheng is also very skilled. The shooting efficiency was especially high, and before filming started, a detailed work plan was established. Plus, this is a mid-to-low budget drama, unlike those big-budget special effects films that require complicated post-processing."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded, although it felt fast, it was normal. Some famous directors in Xiangjiang used to be able to make a movie in just a dozen days, and they often created works that remained classics for decades.

As a top-tier director in Hua Country, with a big company like Qianqiu Group backing them, Wen Cheng had a lot of resources at his disposal. Filming a movie in such a short time was normal.

Xiao Zheng smiled, "When will your movie be released? I am, after all, the project manager and would like to see it."

Chu Xiaoran snorted, "You have the nerve to say that. Nominally you’re the project manager, but you’ve been absent most of the time. Sister Mu and Ah Bai handled all the work."

Xiao Zheng could only grin sheepishly.

He indeed had been a somewhat unfit boss.

"Our movie will be released tomorrow." Chu Xiaoran finally said with a smile.

At this time, Leng Ruobing also spoke, "We really have to thank that person you contacted last time, the head of the super chain cinema Jiuzhou Film Company, Chen Enjiu. After our movie was completed, it was sent to him, and he went above and beyond, securing us a decent number of screenings."

"It seems Chen Enjiu is quite reliable," Xiao Zheng said with satisfaction. Jiuzhou Film Company was the company Xiao Zheng had negotiated with Mu Yiqing the last time. During that time, a fire broke out in the building where Jiuzhou Film Company was located, and Chen Enjiu’s wife and children were trapped inside. Xiao Zheng rescued them, so Chen Enjiu was always very grateful.

"Hmph, when you bring this up, it makes me angry!" Chu Xiaoran suddenly said angrily, "That film invested by Zhonghai City’s richest man, Shen Yuancheng, starring Park Eun-si, the same person we had a conflict with last time, is also going to be released, with even more screenings than us!"

"Park Eun-si?" Xiao Zheng paused, if he recalled correctly, she should be a small Korean star whom he had chased away before.

Unexpectedly, she stayed in Zhonghai and caused a stir.

"Yes, that’s him!" Chu Xiaoran said angrily, "He’s been so arrogant lately, and during his movie’s roadshows, he often badmouths our film and says that their box office will definitely surpass ours."
