Chapter 120 - 120 Rape, Is That Fine?
120 Rape, Is That Fine?
The night breeze of the summer night was a little cold as it blew on the hair on Chu Jinchen’s forehead.
The ends of his hair swept across Shi Ran’s forehead, making her feel ticklish.
It also blocked her vision so she could not see anything.
Chu Jinchen looked at her red lips and his eyes darkened.
He let go.
He saw her looking at him with a smile.
In the next second, she stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Chu Jinchen’s body froze.
What was this for?
Their noses touched and their breaths intertwined.
There was a flirtatious smile on her lips. She lowered her voice. “Robbery or rape?”
Her low voice was like a demoness in a myth, seductive and exuding charm.
When she spoke, her breath was clear and sweet, as if she had candy in her mouth.
Chu Jinchen’s eyes darkened.
He had tasted it before. It was sweet.
Seeing that Chu Jinchen did not answer, interest flashed across her eyes.
She leaned closer again. Their lips were no more than a finger apart.
Chu Jinchen’s body stiffened in a daze.
This rare initiative side of Shi Ran made him a little helpless.
He felt his heart palpitate.
His grip on her waist tightened and he pulled her in more.
They were closely wrapped around each other at that moment.
He rubbed the tip of her nose against his and lowered his head, muttering magnetically, “Rape. Is that fine?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Jinchen leaned forward.
Just as their lips were about to touch, she reached out and pressed her index finger against Chu Jinchen’s lips.
She chuckled. “Stop fooling around.”
Chu Jinchen regained his composure regretfully.
It seemed like she was just teasing him.
But…
He did not mind if she did that a few more times.
“How did you know I was here?” Shi Ran asked.
Chu Jinchen walked beside her and said lazily, “The bodyguard took leave, so I’m covering his duty.”
Shi Ran’s eyes darkened.
She had forgotten that Night Four and the others were Chu Jinchen’s people.
Did that also mean that they could report her whereabouts to Chu Jinchen at any time?
Chu Jinchen guessed her thoughts.
“They won’t report your whereabouts to me. They had other missions tonight so they told me your location. I was worried, so I came over.”
Actually, he just wanted to come over and see her.
Because he couldn’t help it, he abandoned his work and came over.
Shi Ran had known Chu Jinchen for a while and knew that this man had always known his limits, so she did not say anything else.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already walked out of the street.
Chu Jinchen stood under the streetlamp at the entrance of the street and looked around.
“It’s so late. What are you doing here?”
If he remembered correctly, the last time she was almost kidnapped, it was also here.
“I met a few people,” she said casually.
She did not intend to tell Chu Jinchen about her investment.
After all, the investment funds were obtained from President Wen. It was not suitable for Chu Jinchen to know.
Chu Jinchen did not continue this topic.
They got into the car.
“Miss Shi.” San Yu, who was the driver, was the first to greet her.
“Hi,” she replied and sat beside Chu Jinchen.
Neither of them took the initiative to speak. They just waited quietly, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all. Instead, there was an indescribable warmth.
After sending Shi Ran home, Chu Jinchen hummed an unknown tune and returned to the car.
San Yu: “…”
...
When would Third Young Master change his habit of singing whenever he was in a good mood?
As soon as they got back into the car, the phone in the backseat buzzed.
Chu Jinchen’s smile disappeared.
With a glance, the words “Chu family’s old residence” were eye-catching.
He picked up the phone.
“Third Young Master, Old Master wants you to come back as soon as possible. President Wen came over and said that it’s regarding what happened this morning.”
Chu Jinchen hung up the phone, and the smile on his lips turned cold.
He sneered. “Old thing, you’re quite good at complaining.”
“Third Young Master, are we going back to the company or…”
“To the old residence.”
…
...
The next day, at the production team.
Shi Ran was reading the script and labeling her understanding of the role.
At this moment, Fang Tongtong rushed over excitedly. “Sister Ran, did you see the trending topic?”
“What’s wrong?” she asked without looking up.
“Yesterday, a heaven-defying rookie appeared in the Battle of the Gunslinger. She’s so strong!!! So powerful!!!” Fang Tongtong exclaimed.
“At first, I thought that Team R was finished. Fortunately, there was that newbie and they finally won.”
Fang Tongtong talked non-stop.
Shi Ran paused and looked up. After some deliberation, she asked, “Why did Team R compete with TNO last night?”
Fang Tongtong’s eyes lit up. “Sister Ran, so you’ve also seen the trending topics! Are you also playing the Battle of the Gunslinger?!”
“I played it once,” she said succinctly.
Fang Tongtong dragged a stool and sat opposite her before saying, “If you really want to talk about it, you have to start from three years ago.”
“Three years ago, Team R could be said to be invincible. They won two championships in spring and autumn in one go and were guaranteed a spot in the global finals.”
“At that time, Team R was very glorious, especially the head of the team, Xi Qing. People called him God Qing.”
God Qing?
She had an impression of this name.
At that time, she had seen the players mention it at the spectator window.
Fang Tongtong cleared her throat and continued, “At that time, Team R had a bright future and many members. They couldn’t even squeeze in another as there were already five official members.”
“Xi Qing, Mu Yang, Jue Mo, Qi Yuan, and Xian Han have unparalleled tacit understanding. They’re the champion seeded team of the global finals.”
“But… they rigged the match.”
“Huh?” She looked up.
“At that time, they entered the finals and were about to win, but in the end, they lost very abruptly. In the end, it was found that the person who threw the match was Xian Han.”
“After that, Xian Han was stripped of his professional qualifications, and Team R’s reputation was ruined. It was also at this juncture that Xi Qing was poached away.”
“After that, the players from Team R left. They were almost all gone. In the end, there were only four people left, and one of them was even a reserve member.”
“TNO had a conflict with Team R previously, but they couldn’t beat Team R. Look, now they’ve found an opportunity. A tiger that falls from grace can be bullied by dogs.”
Fang Tongtong sighed with emotion at the end.
“You know quite a lot,” Shi Ran said with a smile.
“Of course.” Fang Tongtong raised her head. “I like to play ‘Battle of the Gunslinger too, but I felt that it was a waste of time, so I stopped playing.”
Towards the end, Fang Tongtong’s tone became a little depressed.
Shi Ran pursed her lips.
She did not expect Team R to have experienced so much.
Later that afternoon, Shi Ran continued filming. Although she was the second female lead, she had a lot of scenes.
After filming, she returned to the lounge and Fang Tongtong rushed in.
She said anxiously, “Sister Ran, I have something urgent at home. I want to take leave to go back first. Is that okay?”
“Alright, let me know if you need anything,” Shi Ran said.
“Thank you, Sister Ran.”
Fang Tongtong thanked as she left in a hurry.
Ji Wenfeng walked in. “The preview of ‘The Chained Palace’ is out tonight. Although you only had a few seconds of screen time, it’s considered your first movie.”
“Yes.” Shi Ran did not care much.
She was only acting as cannon fodder. How could she be cut into the trailer?
After her scenes at night ended, she prepared to go back.
Just as she finished changing, she saw her phone vibrating on the makeup table.
She picked it up and put it to her ear.
“Sister Ran, save me. I’m at… Beep, beep, beep…”
The other party’s call was forcefully ended.
