Chapter 191: 191: Newcomer Lian Nichang

Mu Nan joked, "A Nuo, I never thought the day would come when even your charm would fail?"

Jiang Nuo rolled his eyes at him. It’s not like he’s a hundred-dollar bill that everyone needs to hover around.

Besides, he’s a married man now and needs to keep his distance from other women. It’s nice that this Lian Nicang is sensible.

It was clear in the morning, but by evening, a light rain had suddenly started.

Luckily, the scenes at night were indoors; otherwise, Jiang Nuo would have had a headache. He’s busy with filming now and can’t afford any delays.

Today was the scene between Jiang Nuo and Lian Nicang. Bai Niangzi accused Fa Hai in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva of unjustly killing demons, and Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared to question Fa Hai, who was meditating in his room.

"Cut!"

With Mu Nan’s voice ringing out, a day’s shooting finally wrapped up.

"Alright, this scene’s done. Xiao Lian and A Nuo both performed well. We’ll add some extra to your late-night snack."

"Director Mu, you can’t be biased, right? We’ve all been busy till late night. Shouldn’t we all get some extra snacks too?" Xu Dachang leaned over and laughed.

"Add, add, add. Can’t have you going hungry now, can we?" Mu Nan laughed.

"Director Mu, you’re such a nice person!"

"Go! Isn’t the ’nice person’ card usually given when someone’s confession fails? Are you cursing my love life with that?"

Xu Dachang joked, "Hehe! Who dares to curse you? You’ve never been short of girlfriends, right? If anyone’s lacking, it’s me..."

"Oh, so you’re lamenting that you don’t have a girlfriend? But what’s the use of lamenting to me? I’m just a man and can’t conjure up a girlfriend for you. If you must lament, you should lament to Manman, right?" Mu Nan teased Wei Manman, "Right, Manman?"

No matter how blunt a boy is, they’ll get shy over their relationship issues. Wei Manman said embarrassedly, "Director Mu, you can’t just push a joke onto me like that. I haven’t done a thing, yet I’m getting a reputation. How unfair is that?"

"Unfair? Isn’t having an extra boyfriend a good thing? I wish someone would gift me a girlfriend, but I don’t have such luck."

...

Lian Nicang hadn’t been with the crew for long and wasn’t too sure of the jokes between people yet. She asked Jiang Nuo quietly, "Brother Jiang, why does Director Mu joke like that? Isn’t he worried about rumors spreading in the crew?"

Her expression was very innocent, as if she was a little worried about rumors being stirred up. "The crew shouldn’t need to exploit such rumors, right?"

"Huh?" Jiang Nuo hadn’t even noticed she was standing right next to him, let alone expect her to take the initiative to talk to him, "It’s fine, those few have been close for a long time and often joke around, so don’t take it to heart."

Besides, what’s a joke about this? Who doesn’t know that Xu Dachang is clearly showing his interest in Wei Manman and plans to pursue her?

Mu Nan generally doesn’t make these jokes, but this time he’s just trying to help Xu Dachang out.

"Then I’m relieved." Lian Nicang smiled shyly, "Sorry, since I’m a newcomer, my agent told me to avoid stirring up rumors, so I’ve been really cautious."

But why did she have to explain to him? Jiang Nuo didn’t understand, but he didn’t say anything either.

The crew’s late-night snacks were basically barbecue, accompanied by some beer. Of course, if you don’t drink or don’t want to, no one will force you.

Because he’d see his wife the day after tomorrow, Jiang Nuo was in a good mood and had a little more to drink.

"Brother Jiang, you’re drinking too much, you’ll get drunk."

Just as Jiang Nuo was feeling a bit tipsy, he suddenly heard a voice by his ear say.

He turned his head and saw a face as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal’s. Those eyes, like clear springs, if they happened to fall upon you, made you feel like you were sitting in a sauna, so relaxed.

Jiang Nuo blinked. Those long-arched eyes blinked just like they were sparking electricity, making people’s hearts melt. Especially since Jiang Nuo was a bit drunk, his gaze was slightly unfocused, seeming to not recognize who was in front of him.

"Wif... Wife? No, my wife doesn’t look like this..." He shook his head to refute himself.

Lian Nicang blushed slightly, "Brother Jiang, you seem drunk. Should I call your manager? To come pick you up?"

"No need, I want my wife to come pick me up..." Once his wife was mentioned, Jiang Nuo seemed to feel wronged.

Whenever his wife went to the Capital City, she stayed for several days without coming back to see him, which was too much.

This childish side of Jiang Nuo only surfaced in front of Mu Qiuniang, but this time, he had drunk too much.

"Then call your wife and tell her where you are..."

"She’s not here, she won’t come pick me up." Even though he was drunk, Jiang Nuo’s logical reasoning still had a bit of clarity, he wasn’t completely blackout drunk.

"She’s not here, where is she?"

"Went to the Capital City... I’ll be going the day after tomorrow, their family is having a big birthday celebration..." As he spoke, Jiang Nuo leaned on the table, about to fall asleep.

"Whose big birthday is it?" Lian Nicang was about to ask when Lu Mingchen appeared, travel-worn.

As soon as he came in, he saw his man clearly being "taken care of" by a female celebrity and had a moment of not knowing what to say.

Isn’t Jiang Nuo usually cautious? Ended up coming here and getting drunk?

He frowned slightly but didn’t say anything, instead, thanked Lian Nicang.

"Jiang Nuo, Jiang Nuo, Jiang Nuo, do you still recognize me?" Lu Mingchen turned his head to see if he was still conscious.

"Oh... Brother Lu... what’s up?" Jiang Nuo’s eyes were groggy, wanting to sleep but being kept awake, not happy, "I want to sleep."

"Alright, alright, I’ll take you back to sleep." Lu Mingchen greeted Mu Nan and the others, ready to take him away.

Lian Nicang seemed a bit worried, "Do you need help? He looks really drunk; I can help you carry some stuff..."

The enthusiastic girl said as she picked up their things.

"No need, I’ve got my..." But Lu Mingchen’s refusal had no effect as others were already heading out of the shop.

Once outside, Lian Nicang smiled apologetically at him, "Sorry, Brother Lu, I deliberately used you just now. Shooting all day is exhausting, and I wanted to rest early, but seeing how Director Mu and the rest seemed like they would drink for a long time, I felt embarrassed to leave... Just as you arrived, so I used that as an excuse."

Lu Mingchen gave an understanding smile, "That’s how filming is, with all kinds of engagements. You’ll get used to it."
