Henceforth Ardent

That night, at the celebration banquet, Wen Zhenni, as the lead actress, was taken by the vice president to meet investors. Amidst the glamorous crowd, she looked solely at Ci Heng, seated at the m...

Chapter 41

Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the basement and parked in the parking space.

Wen Zhenni unbuckled her seatbelt and rubbed her aching neck. "We're finally home."

Before her fingertips touched the car door handle, an arm reached over and suddenly pulled her into a strong embrace.

Strong and powerful arms trapped her between the seats, and her forehead hit his jaw without any defense, causing a dull pain.

"What are you doing?" Wen Zhenni rubbed her forehead, her voice filled with fear. "Are you trying to sneak attack me?"

The space in the car was small and enclosed, filled with the amplified breathing sounds of the two people.

The low pressure from the man enveloped her completely. "Let's discuss this rationally. It's a physiological liking."

Ciheng ripped off her glasses and threw them into the armrest. Then he pinched her face with his thumbs, forcing her to turn towards him. "Remember this feeling. It might be useful when you're filming."

The next second, his lips pressed down, so strong that no resistance was allowed.

Wen Zhenni's back sank into the backrest, her breaths intertwined, and her mind was in a chaos.

After a moment, he stepped away, gently pressed the corner of her lips with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Are we filming a rooftop kissing scene today?"

“No.” The photos were all taken of shopping malls.

...No, why did he suddenly bring up the kissing scene?

"Are you jealous?" Wen Zhenni held his face and was originally trying to tease him, but her words were cut off by a deeper kiss.

She moaned a few times, her fingertips curled up and clenched the fabric on his back.

The car windows blocked out the outside world, and only faint sounds could be heard in the small space.

I couldn't tell whether it was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other or the sound of kissing.

Wen Zhenni's eyelashes trembled, and the facial features of the person in front of her gradually overlapped with the face of the boy in her memory.

When she concentrated to see clearly, Ciheng's outline became blurred, but Qiu Sicheng's face became clearly enlarged.

With a "click", the clapperboard fell, instantly pulling her out of the car and back to the set.

"Okay, this one passed." The director clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Everyone, take a break."

Wen Zhenni took a deep breath and slapped her face with both hands to wake herself up.

"Sister, sister." Orange trotted over with an umbrella, handing over a cup of water, "Drink some water."

Wen Zhenni was drinking water from a cup. Qiu Sicheng followed her and gave her a thumbs-up. "Ni'er, you've made rapid progress today. The look in your eyes just now almost made me think you were in love with me."

"It's just so-so. It's all thanks to the good guidance of Teacher Qiu." Wen Zhenni said modestly, but in fact, the corners of her mouth could hardly be suppressed.

It's not improvement at all. It's clearly because the memory of last night was so deep that I was too involved today and couldn't help myself and forgot I was filming.

But you know what, putting it into practice is more effective than figuring it out on your own.

Wen Zhenni's face flushed a little, and she quickly changed the subject, "Brother Cheng, have you seen the dress?"

Qiu Sicheng nodded: "I checked it this morning, and the size needs to be adjusted."

His studio accepted clothing sponsorship from Nan Guo Ji. Qin Qing felt that it was a rare opportunity and quickly finalized the cooperation.

So that night, Xi Miao sent the pictures of the alternative dresses to the costume designer for selection, and the next morning, the finished dresses were delivered to her for her to try on.

The filming for the next few days shifted to the campus, focusing mainly on the heroine's youthful and ignorant student days.

In fact, it was just the innocent throbbing of young boys and girls. The so-called kissing scene was pure nonsense made up by Qiu Sicheng, who deliberately tried to annoy Ciheng.

Because the student scenes were crucial, filming continued until the end of the month.

At the end of the month is the Celebrity Night Gala, held in the heart of Tianhai City.

On the day of the event, the team asked for leave from the crew, and Wen Zhenni got up early in the morning to do her makeup and prepare her look for the red carpet shoot.

This time, she chose a pine green ten-broken skirt for her traditional Chinese style look, paired with a plain white tube top and a string of lustrous pearls around her neck. It was gentle and elegant, different from her previous style.

Qiu Sicheng wore a white Tang suit with bamboo patterns embroidered with silver silk thread on the shoulder line. Metal airplane buttons replaced the traditional button design, which was different from those regular suits and dresses and had a more casual feel.

The triple-Award-winning actor and the top female star's appearance on the red carpet together is already quite eye-catching.

It just so happened that both of them wore dresses sponsored by Nan Guo Ji. The style was the same, and they were not couple outfits, but the visual effect looked like couple outfits.

Anyway, as soon as this group debuted, they stunned the whole audience and took the lead in hot searches and discussions.

In the car, Ciheng's eyes casually swept across the giant screen and could see the red carpet scene scrolling.

"My wife sang two songs and won the Potential Performer of the Year award."

Lu Fangyang, who was sitting next to him, was scrolling through the trending searches, watching them with great interest.

"Everyone says they're a perfect match. Hey, they even have CP fans."

"You know what, this snapshot is quite atmospheric, it really looks like it's happening."

He was buzzing like a fly, and even asked the man next to him, whose face was getting darker and darker, "Boss Ci, don't you have any sense of crisis?"

"Respecting your wife's career pursuits is a fundamental quality for a husband." Ci Heng glanced at him coldly. "You're over-interpreting normal business interactions between colleagues. What kind of nonsense is going on in your head all day?"

Well! If he weren't the head of the group, he wouldn't have such a broad mind.

Lu Fangyang smiled and said yes, tilting the phone towards him, "Boss Ci, look, this photo is pretty good, isn't it?"

Ciheng glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and captured the moment when Wen Zhenni went up on stage to receive the award and Qiu Sicheng watched from the side.

The composition is good, and the sense of story is captured very well, but his assessment is: "average."

Lu Fangyang shook his head. He was saying one thing and thinking another.

Ci Heng was displeased by his understanding expression and frowned as he chased him away. "You don't have a car yourself, why are you riding in mine?"

"Okay, I'll get out right away." Lu Fangyang put away his smile and said to the person in the main driver's seat, "Secretary Lin, pull over right up ahead."

What a coincidence, they are now near the heart of the city, which is also the only way to go home.

After dropping Lu Fangyang off in the car, Lin Nuo started the car and glanced at the rearview mirror. "Boss Ci, the wife is done with her work. Should we wait for her to come back together?"

Ciheng looked out the car window and saw many fans and a large number of media gathered at the venue exit.

He tapped his knuckles on the armrest twice and looked away: "Pull over and wait."

Lin Nuo responded and slid the car towards the temporary parking strip.

After Wen Zhenni finished her business, she took Zhong Xue's arm and chatted for a while before saying goodbye.

After coming out of the passage, she got into the nanny car, and Orange immediately gave her the phone.

After seeing the WeChat message sent by Ciheng a few minutes ago, Wen Zhenni was filled with questions and called back directly.

"I can go back by myself, no need to pick me up."

Ci Heng explained calmly, "I was just passing by and wanted to pick you up from get off work."

Is this just a side trip? Wen Zhenni took a deep breath, "All the major media outlets are here. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare ride in the same car with you."

The other side selectively ignored her words and said simply: "The car is on the opposite side of the road."

Wen Zhenni couldn't do anything about him, "You're a bit overbearing tonight."

Ci Heng didn't mind continuing to be domineering, "You come over here, or I go in, your choice..."

"...I choose one! One!"

Wen Zhenni gave up struggling and took a deep breath. "I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, she quickly changed her clothes, put on a mask and sunglasses, and wrapped her head with a scarf.

Outside, the media was swarming, and everywhere I looked was people. It's true that more people means more eyes, but it's also true that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.

Wen Zhenni covered her brows with a silk scarf and took advantage of the chaotic crowd to leave the passage.

The car was really parked opposite, a third-brand Bentley was just parading around like that, with no intention of avoiding suspicion at all.

Everyone passing by saw it, and many people were secretly taking pictures. Wen Zhenni ran over in embarrassment under the burning gazes and squeezed herself into the back seat.

"What kind of outfit is this?"

Seeing her wrap herself up so tightly that only her eyes were exposed, Ci Heng found it quite funny. "Playing role?"

Wen Zhenni removed all her attire, exhaled through her lips, and said, "If I don't do this, it will be trending tomorrow. I've even thought of the headline: 'A certain actress is suspected of being kept by a wealthy man and is picked up and dropped off in a luxury car late at night.'"

Although she has made preparations to be exposed at any time, having her news exposed on the hot search in the middle of the night will affect her sleep.

"If it's exposed, then make it public." Ci Heng said in an unhappy tone, "Can't female celebrities get married? Or am I just not good enough!"

It seems that he still lacks a clear understanding of his own identity.

Wen Zhenni tugged at his sleeve and said, "Hubby, your golden light is too strong for my fate to suppress. I can only ask you to be subservient to me behind the scenes for a while."

She raised her hands and promised him, "When the time is right, I will openly announce it and give you a name."

The man beside her glared at her and snorted, "Are you not an actress anymore, but looking at your fate? Then tell me which foot will come through the door first tonight?"

This person is usually very frugal with words, but he talks too much in private. It seems that he has not been close to his parents enough.

Wen Zhenni didn't intend to indulge him, so she turned sideways and kissed him directly.

A soft touch suddenly fell on his lips, and Ciheng's head buzzed, and all the blood in his body seemed to flow backwards.

He froze in the wide seat, his pupils slightly dilated, forgetting even to breathe, pinned to the spot by this unexpected kiss.

But it also soothed the melancholy and unhappiness I had just felt.

This was the first time she did something so outrageous in front of outsiders.

He was probably conquered by Wen Zhenni's dominance and didn't say a word along the way.

His mouth is no longer poisonous, but he made a comment quietly afterwards.

When Wen Zhenni found herself on the trending search, she was already in the ancient town.

The filming schedule was heavy, and she estimated she would be here for over a month. She left early in the morning, arrived around noon, and began working non-stop.

When they were having dinner after finishing their scenes, Chengzi suddenly told her that she was on the trending search.

Originally, her and Qiu Sicheng's looks were the subject of heated discussion, but who would have thought that because of a comment, fans of both groups started fighting on the hot search.

Because of an initial account, a sentence was thrown in the comment section of CP fans:

【Qiu Sicheng is the same.】

The other side’s fans were completely furious.

Someone checked the account's homepage and found that the attributes preferred Wen Zhenni, so the anger was naturally directed at Wen Zhenni.

The hot searches were immediately filled with curses, and the Pearls certainly couldn't stand being cursed, so they immediately launched a counterattack.

As time went by, a popular search topic turned into a battlefield between the two companies.

To be honest, it's just an ordinary comment.

Even if it was a big fan who said it without restraint, there are many things that are more serious than this. How come this one comment caused such a big stir?

Wen Zhenni clicked on it and saw that it was Mr. Luanma who looked so familiar.
