I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 295 – You Jing, do you know why I broke up with you? (3)

Chapter 295 – You Jing, do you know why I broke up with you? (3)

Lu Beichuan deeply looked at Ye Zhen and seemed to have thought of something that made him incomparably happy. He put the tablet down on the bed, bent a leg on the bed, and got up close to Ye Zhen with his hands resting on the headboard, forcing her to lean back and look up at him.

Most of the overhead light was blocked by Lu Beichuan and his shadow enveloped Ye Zhen’s figure.

“Brother-in-law?” Lu Beichuan flippantly held her chin. This smile in his eyes deepened. “Rather than Brother-in-law, I rather you call me…” He leaned close to Ye Zhen’s ear and whispered.

He blithely said that word, but Ye Zhen felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She instantly flushed with embarrassment. That embarrassment turned into anger in her eyes. Utterly discomfited, she pushed Lu Beichuan away.

“Shut up! You hooligan!”

Lu Beichuan looked like a serious person, but he was a beast at heart! He was a beast camouflaged in a gentleman’s attire.

Ye Zhen glared at him. She tossed a pillow at him, indicating for him to go sleep in the study.

Lu Beichuan held the pillow. Quitting while he was ahead, he tried changing the topic to calm her anger. “Qin Zhiyin told me today that Qinhua’s Riverside’s filming and its first trailer has already been completed. The post-production is near completion too. How is the review going?”

Ye Zhen still had residual anger, but most of it was embarrassment. In an unhappy tone, she said, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on that.”

From her tone, he could tell that he had annoyed her a lot.

Lu Beichuan put away his smile and said with a businesslike attitude, “I recently received news that the review department has been more stringent with the subject matters in movies. It might be difficult to get approval.”

Once Lu Beichuan said that, Ye Zhen was no longer in the mood to be angry with him. Her focus was completely diverted to the movie. “They’ve gotten stricter again? How come?”

“The people below will put a blanket ban if there’s an order from above. It’s always been like that. Once you’ve come into contact with more things, you’ll get used to the changes brought by the marketplace and government policy.”

Ye Zhen furrowed her brow and didn’t say anything for a while.

She went through the movie’s plot. It didn’t have prohibited plots or explicit s*x scenes, but it had a sensitive subject matter and several adult scenes. If they deleted those scenes, it was bound to cause flaws in the interpretation of the movie.

He could see that Ye Zhen was worried. He tossed the pillow onto the bed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He quietly said, “I’m here. Don’t worry.”

Ye Zhen sighed. “Yeah, let’s worry about it when the time comes. If there are scenes that have to be deleted, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

“When will the trailer be released?”

Ye Zhen mulled it over. “I’ll pay the review department a visit in a few days. If there’s no problem, we should be able to release the trailer before the end of the year.”

Lu Beichuan advised, “If your meeting with the review department doesn’t go well, try having tea with the mayor’s wife.”

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows as she looked at Lu Beichuan. She had almost forgotten about Madam Zhou.

Fortunately, Lu Beichuan had reminded her.

She and Madam Zhou had happily chatted at Madam Zhou’s birthday party. Madam Zhou had also said she could go look for her if a problem came up with the review process of the movie. Later on, she had met with Madam Zhou many times at various functions.

“No problem, I’ll schedule a meeting with her tomorrow!”

With a beauty by his side, it was natural that his mind would roam towards a certain direction. “We can talk more about work during work hours. It’s getting late. Let’s turn in.”

Lu Beichuan made to get in bed. Just after he got under the blanket, Ye Zhen looked over with doubtful eyes. She suddenly remembered what happened recently. With a calm face, she pointed at the door. “You, study.”

Attempt at changing the topic. Failed.

Lu Beichuan carried a pillow and blanket to study. Lying on the small bed in the study, he stared at the ceiling and suffered from insomnia for half of the night.
