My beautiful CEO wife
Chapter 720

Chapter 720: 720

Chu Xiaoran’s wire suddenly snapped, causing her to fall from a height of several meters, casting a look of horror on the faces of everyone at the set, who screamed aloud.

However, at this critical moment, Xiao Zheng sprang forward like a leopard and positioned himself underneath Chu Xiaoran, catching her in his arms, thus preventing her from getting injured.

Originally, the director, assistant director, cinematographer, and others were shouting in terror, but when they suddenly saw Xiao Zheng fiercely leap to catch Chu Xiaoran, they were all stunned.

"Damn, did I... did I see that wrong? Someone fell from a height of several meters, and he actually caught her steadily!"

An assistant director couldn’t help but rub his eyes, disbelieving the scene before him.

Falling from a height of several meters, considering the acceleration, that kind of weight and impact, most people simply couldn’t withstand it!

If someone really tried to catch her, the only result might be getting crushed to death by the falling weight, it would be the same for anyone.

"Not only that, but that person was at least several meters away from Chu Xiaoran, yet, he almost instantly rushed over there. Even Liu Xiang couldn’t have been that fast."

Another person exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone felt that this scene was unbelievable.

At this time, Chu Xiaoran was still tightly closing her eyes, her body trembling. The fall from the height had terrified her, and tears were at the corners of her eyes.

Yet, with her eyes closed and after a long while, feeling as if nothing had happened, Chu Xiaoran felt a bit of strangeness in her heart and couldn’t help but open her eyes, only then did she see Xiao Zheng’s face.

"Ah Zheng..."

Chu Xiaoran cried out in surprise.

Then, she looked around and finally realized that she was securely held in Xiao Zheng’s arms.

"Thank you."

Chu Xiaoran immediately understood what had happened and said sweetly.

However, at this moment, Chu Xiaoran suddenly felt something unusual at her chest. She looked down sharply and realized that two large hands were slowly covering it.

Her pretty face suddenly turned red and she murmured in a barely audible voice, "Ah Zheng, your... your hands, where are they."

In her voice, there was no hint of anger, but rather an extremely enticing shyness, utterly charming.

Xiao Zheng’s heart swayed.

After a moment, he finally realized where his hands were resting, on Chu Xiaoran’s delicate chest, and couldn’t help but his face also turned red. He chuckled awkwardly and quickly moved his hands down to Chu Xiaoran’s slender waist, saying, "Sorry, I was too hasty just now, didn’t notice this."

"It’s okay."

Chu Xiaoran said with a blushing face.

With this incident, the fear from falling high from the sky was almost forgotten.

Xiao Zheng chuckled softly, then set Chu Xiaoran down on the ground.

Just at that moment, the director, assistant director, lighting crew, cameramen, and a host of others came rushing over en masse.

Chu Xiaoran had just positioned herself when she saw the director and others arrive. Thinking they were worried, she smiled slightly, ready to say she was fine and not to worry.

However, before she could speak, the director burst out scolding, "What were you doing just now! Not staying put in the air, why were you moving around? Huh?

Are you a monkey, do you have ADHD? If you hadn’t moved, the rope wouldn’t have broken! Hmph, with that attitude towards acting, even ten years wouldn’t bring you success. Acting requires seriousness, full commitment, understand? Got it?"

Chu Xiaoran was dumbfounded.

She had never expected the director to blame her for the mishap, and anger surged in her heart.

Yet, just as she was about to retort, Chu Xiaoran forcibly restrained herself. This opportunity to act wasn’t easy to come by; offending the director and losing this chance would be too great a loss.

When Xiao Zheng heard the director’s words, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he rebuked, "This director is unreasonable! A problem occurs with the harness, and instead of questioning the prop master, you blame Xiao Ran, what kind of logic is that!"

Hearing this, the director glanced at Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng’s reaction had let him know that he wasn’t someone to mess with, so he dared not be too insolent, but he still retorted with some arrogance,

he said coldly, "So what? I am rebuking my actor. What right do you have to intervene? Even if you are Chu Xiaoran’s boyfriend, you have no say here on set!"

"Hmph!"

Xiao Zheng’s expression suddenly turned cold, and he stepped forward, exerting his imposing aura toward the director.

"It seems reasoning with you is useless. Since talking doesn’t work, I’ll use my fists to teach you some manners."

The director’s face turned pale from the overpowering pressure, his body trembling as he staggered backward, pointing at Xiao Zheng, he stammered, "You... what are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do?"

Xiao Zheng sneered, took another step forward, ready to teach the director a lesson. However, just then, someone grabbed him.

Xiao Zheng was taken aback and turned to look, only to find it was Chu Xiaoran who had grabbed the hem of his clothes, whispering simultaneously, "Ah Zheng, let it go, I really was moving around in the air just now."

Xiao Zheng frowned.

He could see Chu Xiaoran was trying to keep the peace, not wanting to offend the director. She was extremely serious about her first acting role, always ready to bare hardships.

"Oh well, this is ultimately the young girl’s own matter, I shouldn’t interfere too much. Otherwise, it wouldn’t benefit her growth," Xiao Zheng thought and sighed softly, reining in his aura and not pursuing the matter further.

Chu Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the director also shakily stood up, fearfully glanced at Xiao Zheng, and said, "Everyone... let’s take a break. With so much happening, I assume no one is in the mood to continue filming. Let’s rest, adjust our mindset, then continue."

Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed.

Xiao Zheng also gave the director one more look before taking Chu Xiaoran to a shady spot in the woods and sitting down.

Xiao Zheng looked at Chu Xiaoran, noticing her sun-darkened face and the beads of sweat on her forehead, and realized how difficult it must have been while she was suspended in mid-air.

Xiao Zheng felt a pang of heartache and said, "You little girl, why are you so naive? Hanging like that is so dangerous, if others don’t care about you, you must at least take care of yourself."

Chu Xiaoran hung her head, slightly aggrieved, "I just wanted to act well."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head, although Chu Xiaoran was lively, she took her responsibilities very seriously.
