She knew how serious Ye Feimo's stomach ailment was; he might feel pain if he missed two meals. If he was in a bad mood or under stress, the pain would be even worse. When she saw Fang Liucheng off, she also came here.

Although it showed a lack of backbone, her heart was full of worry and there was no other way around it.

But seeing the lights on the 44th floor warmly lit up gave her some peace. This meant he was at home taking care of himself. Ye Feimo knew his own condition well and thus took better care of his stomach than anyone else would.

She lingered in the garden below her floor, sitting for a while as she counted sheep.

She felt like a fool, unsure what she was holding onto or why she cared. Perhaps he didn't even notice her worries; after all, he didn’t need them.

Maybe he found it annoying.

Wenran looked at the phone in her hand and had been thinking about calling him since she left but couldn't bring herself to do it.

The cold war was on.

Now looking at his silent phone, she wished it would ring; wishing he would call asking why she hadn’t returned home yet or why she hadn’t made dinner for him.

Even if he just asked once that would be enough.

No, even a loud shout from him was better than the current silence.

He didn't need her at all.

Without her, he could still live well and not fall sick. She wasn’t that important to him.

Though she knew this in her heart, thinking about it made Wenran feel sad nonetheless.

The night gradually deepened, and the evening breeze was chilly. Warm had been sitting for almost two hours and felt foolish enough. With the living room light turned off, he might have gone to sleep, allowing her to return home with peace of mind.

Warm stood up and looked at the 44th floor once more, giving herself a mocking smile.

In such coldness and dewiness, for whom did she wait foolishly

This kind of silly self, even she hadn't thought possible.

Warm walked around downstairs before stepping out of the City Apartments to hail a taxi back home.

Cheng Anya shook her head; these two youngsters were truly heart-wrenching. One was mouth-saying-one-thing-feeling-another, stubborn as a dead duck that wouldn't admit defeat, while the other preferred standing in the cold wind worrying about him rather than going upstairs to check on him.

She couldn’t intervene; this was between Fei Mo and Warm’s affair.

Every couple walked through their unique paths:思念、彷徨、不安、傷害、原諒、釋然、深愛……每一種不同的情緒，都是他們每一次成長的必經之路。

(translation for the part above in Chinese: thoughts, hesitations, unease, hurt, forgiveness, relief, deep love... every unique emotion was a necessary step of their growth.)

Without experiencing these moments, how would they navigate future years together

She truly liked Warm and sincerely hoped Fei Mo wouldn’t miss out on her.

The shooting for the 5203 series jewelry advertisement by Warm was scheduled after the promotional activities for 'Beauty Topples City'. Warm joined the main cast of the film crew to promote it in major cities across the country.

Over a period of ten days, they would go on promotion tours to ten different cities.

The itinerary was particularly tight. Warm realized she might be exhausted for these few days.

a City was the primary promotional city and was scheduled at the end. The lineup included Lin Ning, Warm, Peng Yuming, Cheng Ying, and Zhou Chengge, a formidable team. Peng Yuming had good looks while Cheng Ying was a powerhouse actor; Zhou Chengge, the number one male star from BC Television, was currently the most popular TV actor with high recognition in film, music, and television.

Before leaving, Wenran had initially wanted to call Ye Feimo to say goodbye, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. If Ye Feimo didn’t bother to call her, why should she waste her time looking at his indifferent face

When she arrived at the airport, there was a group of fans waiting for her, unfortunately they were not here to greet her but instead had come to welcome Zhou Chengge, as well as Peng Yuming and Cheng Ying. Among them were also some of Wenran’s own fans, though they were easily drowned out by the massive crowd of Zhou Chengge's supporters, making it hard for even their voices to be heard. Even with special access, they were still surrounded.

The publicity event was scheduled in the afternoon. Director Lin brought along Wenran and Zhou Chengge among others to attend a press conference on site. Local media reporters and many who came to do live broadcasts gathered around them tightly. Many fans held discs of Zhou Chengge’s asking him for autographs, making the scene very lively.

Director Lin also responded honestly about the casting change incident. This movie faced numerous issues; they replaced Bai Xiwen involved in a scandal with Wenran who was now embroiled in another one involving being kept by someone else. Many reporters wanted to dig into these scandals for gossip.

Lately, Wenran had been frequently linked with many people in the media, including Director Lin and Young Master Fang. Although it was proven that the rumor about her being kept by someone else was false, many still perceived her through this lens of scandal.

After all, A City was different from other places; it wasn’t Wenran’s hometown, so people only knew about her through newspapers, magazines, and news reports. Most recently, there had been mostly negative stories about her, leaving a bad impression on many people.

However, having an icy and beautiful director with a fiery temper on site could definitely deter some reporters eager to dig up gossip.

Therefore, the publicity event proceeded quite smoothly.

In the afternoon, they did the publicity event. In the evening, they appeared on local television for a program. The programs were live broadcasts with only Director Lin, Wenran, and Zhou Chengge present along with two hosts. Clip teasers from the movie and some short films of behind-the-scenes footage were shown during the program, which was quite successful.

The schedule was packed with activities: publicity events, going to television stations, then rushing to catch flights, and moving on to another city for more publicity events and TV appearances. After five days straight of such a hectic schedule, Wenran’s exhaustion showed in her weight; she had dropped three pounds.

This round of publicity for "Beauty Captivates the City" was very successful, all thanks to Director Lin Ning and the film crew's promotional team. They also coordinated well with local TV stations, making it a vibrant event.

But it was incredibly tiring.

The actors were working extremely hard.

Peng Yuming and Cheng Ying did not participate in the TV station's promotional activities; they had half a day off. However, Wen Ran and Zhou Chengge had to do promotions everywhere without missing out, making them extremely busy.

Tonight, while promoting at a small film festival held in F City, Wen Ran was even caught napping by her fans and the photos were uploaded onto Weibo, causing Wanner (Wen Ran's fan base) great distress. They left supportive comments under her post, worried about her health. Apart from the period when she was sleeping, Lin Ning kept dragging Zhou Chengge and Wen Ran to perform promotional activities throughout, trying their best to boost their fame.

However, what Wen Ran did not expect was that she would run into Ye Feimo and Han Bi at this film festival. As soon as the two entered the venue, flashes went off continuously, drawing everyone's attention.

This was a very eye-catching couple; the man stood tall, delicate yet noble while the woman radiated brilliance and elegance. Many celebrities instantly turned into crazed fans, rushing forward to take photos of them.

There were also some who considered themselves above others observing them from a distance with disdain.

Lin Ning cursed under his breath: "Damn you, Leaf Two, are you here to sabotage the event"

In the afternoon, he had heard that Ye Feimo would come over to participate in this film festival. He was curious as to who Ye Feimo would bring along and didn't expect him to be accompanied by Han Bi. Lin Ning glared at Wen Ran with frustration; it was clearly her fault for not keeping an eye on her man.

Wen Ran remained expressionless, showing no reaction even under the intense glare of the cold beauty. She did not look in the direction of Han Bi and Ye Feimo either, causing Lin Ning to grind his teeth, suspecting that they must have had a quarrel.

Wen Ran and Zhou Chengge always appeared as a golden couple, with her being beautiful and pure while he was handsome and charming. Although their presence lacked some of the imposing aura exuded by Ye Feimo and Han Bi, the two still looked well-matched.

Han Bi held onto Ye Feimo's arm to greet acquaintances, seemingly flaunting a priceless piece of art before everyone with pride and arrogance, making her even more dazzling.

As an international superstar, every move she made exuded the aura of an unparalleled protagonist, surpassing all others.

"You were just sleeping; are you not sleepy anymore" Zhou Chengge asked out of concern for Wen Ran. He was a top-tier actor at thirty-four, looking incredibly handsome in his white suit, complementing Wen Ran's black evening gown perfectly.

Throughout the promotions, Zhou Chengge had been very considerate and gentlemanly; his conduct left an excellent impression on Wen Ran. She knew it was important to maintain connections within this industry, coupled with her favorable impression of him, she smiled at him.
