The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 119: Ye Feimo Birthday

Fang Liucheng’s wish for her to star in Huayun’s production was impossible.

Not unless she broke her contract with Anning.

"Wen Nuan, do you want to take on this role? This is an opportunity for you. If you want to do it, we can find a way," Fang Liucheng said.

Wen Nuan smiled faintly, with a hint of effortless grace. "What do you mean by that? Asking me to break my contract with Anning? I can’t afford the termination fee."

"I can help you!"

"Brother Liucheng, I like my company. Anning is the best film and television company in the country. I have the best agent, and everything is progressing smoothly right now. ’Beauty of Passion’ is indeed a great opportunity, but that doesn’t mean I won’t get even better opportunities at Anning. Perhaps I’ll get an even better script. This is something Sister Xiaojing needs to worry about. I’m just starting out, and I’m already very satisfied with my current achievements. I’m not in a rush, and I’m still young. Things can happen slowly. If I were to fall out with my agency for ’Beauty of Passion,’ abandoning Sister Xiaojing and all the people who have supported me, I couldn’t do it. If Anning agrees to lend me out for the role, perhaps I would consider it, but if not, then I thank you for your kind offer. For ’Beauty of Passion,’ please find someone else. Huayun has many talented stars who are perfectly capable of taking on this role."

Wen Nuan was not an ungrateful person. She was nurtured and promoted by Cai Xiaojing and Ye Feimo. Cai Xiaojing had put in a lot of effort into guiding her, so it was impossible for her to abandon Anning.

Perhaps for success, one shouldn’t care about these sentiments sometimes, but Wen Nuan was different; she couldn’t be callous.

She was a grateful person and wouldn’t use others as stepping stones.

She disdained doing such things.

Fang Liucheng gazed deeply at Wen Nuan, suddenly wanting to ask if she was truly reluctant to give up Ye Feimo or simply reluctant to give up her current company. He had a premonition that her answer would not please him.

So Fang Liucheng didn’t ask.

"I’ll talk to Sister Xiaojing about this when I get back, and she’ll let you know if there’s any news," Wen Nuan said. "Everything about my current work is handled by her. I believe she truly cares about me."

Fang Liucheng found it difficult to press her further. He nodded, signaling that he understood.

After the meal, the two left the restaurant. The car was parked next to the hot spring resort. Fang Liucheng remained silent. He wanted to talk to Wen Nuan about their relationship, but he was afraid she would be put off, so he kept quiet.

"Nuannuan, is there really no chance for us?" Fang Liucheng finally asked. He wasn’t the type to be indecisive. He admitted that with Wen Nuan, he had always been too confident, always believing that Wen Nuan was a loyal girl who would love one person forever.

But now, with Ye Feimo in the picture, his confidence began to waver.

Newspapers had rumored about Wen Nuan and Lin Ning, but he knew those were false. Wen Nuan wouldn’t have any involvement with Lin Ning.

His biggest concern was Ye Feimo.

"Brother Liucheng, I don’t want to think about this question right now. I’m still young, and my career is just starting. Relationships aren’t within my scope of consideration, so, I’m sorry," Wen Nuan said tactfully. She wasn’t sure if she could accept Fang Liucheng again.

At present, she was deeply wary of relationships and didn’t want to discuss them. Even if she knew that Fang Liucheng might be sincere, she still held a grudge, and then there was Ye Feimo...

Wen Nuan’s eyes widened. "Oh no, Ye Feimo?"

She had arranged to meet Ye Feimo outside the studio today, but she had missed their appointment.

She hurriedly raised her wrist to check her watch, mentally cursing. It was past 11 PM, almost midnight. She frantically rummaged through her bag for her phone, then suddenly remembered that her phone was with Cai Xiaojing.

Wen Nuan muttered a frustrated curse.

"Nuannuan, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I forgot something very important. Brother Liucheng, can you take me home?" Wen Nuan said. Fang Liucheng put an arm around her shoulder. "Nuannuan, I’ll take you home, but first, tell me, how long do I have to wait? Okay?"

Wen Nuan froze. Under the streetlights, Fang Liucheng’s face seemed to be bathed in the glow, as if time had transported them back to their happiest days. Wen Nuan’s heart fluttered, but then Ye Feimo’s face suddenly flashed before her eyes, and her heart nearly stopped.

She was intelligent and quick-witted, but at that moment, she didn’t know what to say to Fang Liucheng.

Seeing her genuine difficulty, Fang Liucheng’s gaze darkened. He embraced her and kissed her cheek. Wen Nuan was even more stunned. Fang Liucheng pressed his advantage, his warm lips brushing hers. Seeing that she didn’t refuse, he was about to kiss her fully when Wen Nuan snapped back to reality and turned her head. Fang Liucheng’s kiss landed on her cheek. Wen Nuan felt anxious, flustered, and at a loss.

"Alright, I won’t pressure you, Nuannuan. I’ll wait for you," Fang Liucheng said, then gentlemanly drove Wen Nuan back to Mingcheng Apartment.

He was smart enough not to ask anything. When he dropped her off downstairs at the apartment building, Wen Nuan rushed to leave but was pulled back by Fang Liucheng, who gave her a goodnight kiss. Wen Nuan waved casually and ran into the building.

Ye Feimo...

Damn it, her memory was terrible! Ye Feimo would definitely be very angry, very angry.

She hurried up to the 44th floor. It was completely dark. Was he not home?

She turned on the lights; no one was there. Wen Nuan inwardly fretted, searching the entire 44th floor but finding no sign of Ye Feimo.

She hesitated, then took the stairs from the dressing room up to the 45th floor.

The 45th floor was also empty and dimly lit. Wen Nuan felt an indescribable unpleasantness. She went back down. Just then, her phone rang. Wen Nuan answered. "My dear girl, you’re finally back! Did you see Mr. Ye?"

"He’s not home. Did he look for you?" Wen Nuan asked worriedly. Ye Feimo hated being stood up the most. Wen Nuan swore she really didn’t do it on purpose. When Ye Feimo called that afternoon, the timing was wrong, she was too busy to pay attention, and her phone was charging with Cai Xiaojing. She hadn’t thought much of it.

If she had remembered her appointment with Ye Feimo, she wouldn’t have missed it.

"How dare you say that? He went to pick you up today! Mr. Ye arrived just as you and Fang Liucheng left," Cai Xiaojing grumbled. "Quickly call him and try."

"He probably didn’t have anything important to do, just dinner. We can eat anytime," Wen Nuan said, also a little curious why Ye Feimo suddenly asked her to dinner.

He didn’t usually ask her.

Cai Xiaojing cursed. "You blockhead! Today is Mr. Ye’s birthday."

Wen Nuan: "..."
