Chapter 531
returned! Did you see Mr. Ye""He's not home. Has he called you" Warmth asked anxiously. Ye Feimo despised being stood up the most. She swore that she hadn't intentionally done it; when Ye Feimo had ph...Chapter 531
The heartbeat in his heart thumped wildly, unable to be suppressed no matter how hard he tried. It seemed like it wanted to jump out of his chest and could not be contained. He was wearing a set of iron-gray西裝 (suit), with an exquisite sky-blue袖釦 (cufflink) on the cuffs, looking very elegant. His gaze was intense as he stared at her, reminding her of Ink's fiery look from last night.
Her body suddenly heated up; wherever he had kissed or touched turned scalding hot, as if endless heat seeped into her skin. Her pale face also blazed with red clouds.
She lowered her head and dared not meet Ye Nimo's gaze.
The shadow slowly moved away, and Warmth's fingertips trembled slightly. Ye Nimo sat next to her and ordered a pot of Pu'er tea as well.
Warmth’s heart felt like it was being boiled in hot and cold water alternately, her face turning green then white. Tears welled up in her eyes; the man who had loved her last night and said he couldn't live without her now looked at her with indifference, like a stranger.
It seemed as if looking at her one more time was beyond his tolerance.
Tears of grievance welled up in Warmth's eyes. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head even further, afraid that if she looked up, Ye Nimo would see the tears in her eyes. She held back her tears, which fell onto her hand, slowly sliding down無聲無息 (without a sound).
He sat across from her on a neighboring seat.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Brewing tea is an art講究 (requiring meticulousness), but at the moment, Warmth didn't care. She lost all sense of propriety and did not want to leave; she poured herself a cup of tea directly into her mouth without tasting its aroma or noticing that it was somewhat bitter.
She drank hastily, and the moisture in her eyes gradually dried up, no longer dripping tears. Warmth felt slightly better inside, turning her head to watch the vehicles passing by below. The tea house played soft music that was soothing and elegant, very fitting for nighttime listening.
The sudden ringtone of her phone startled her. It was her song, one she had sung for Princess Qinglian in a drama series that became immensely popular after its broadcast. The catchy tune won the hearts of many.
Ye Feimo had always used this song as his ringtone. She thought that since they were divorced and she had treated him so cruelly, he would surely hate her by now. There was no way he would still keep anything related to her.
But the ringtone remained unchanged.
Cheng Anya's call came through, and Ye Feimo’s elegant deep voice warmed her heart as she heard his familiar tone at last. It differed slightly from the one that had called out to her name last night.
The Feimo of then was hers alone.
But now he seemed back to his normal self.
He chatted with Cheng Anya for a while before falling silent again, slowly savoring his tea. A message came through from Cai Xiaojing, saying that Ye Feimo was in Washington. Warmth typed out several characters: He’s sitting right across from me.
Slightly raising her head, she looked at him. He turned to look out the window, seemingly lost in his own world. The blue sapphire on his cuff emitted a soft blue glow, like that of deep ocean waters.
It was beautiful.
The events of last night were as fleeting as spring dreams; nothing mattered to him anymore. Even their passionate embrace and intimate moments meant little to him.
He didn’t say a word, leaving Warmth feeling somewhat sad and self-deprecating. She had pushed him out of her life herself—what was there left for her to complain about
But on that Christmas day, hadn’t he said he missed her
Last night, he clearly said that he loved her. How could a person change so drastically overnight She didn't quite understand Ye Feimo.
She also didn't understand herself.
Ever since Christmas Day, everything seemed to have gone off track.
What did she want, and what had she regretted
The text message tone rang again; Tang Mandong sent over: "Sweetie, come up, tackle me down, eat me."
Warmth smiled warmly. Ye Feimo slightly turned his head; Warmth was smiling sweetly while texting someone. He hadn't seen her smile like this in a long time. When he stood before her just now and saw the surprise in her eyes, she avoided him. He thought that she definitely didn’t want to see him, which is why she lowered her head to avoid him. He wouldn't go out of his way to make things awkward between them.
Who was she texting right now Why was she smiling so sweetly
It seemed as though she had forgotten about him; she forgot that he was sitting across from her, whom was she talking to then
A slight shadow of malevolence crossed his face. If he were a man with more backbone, he would have already left without looking at her overly sweet smile, which only made him feel uncomfortable.
Warmth replied to Tang Mandong’s text message: "The person is keeping me at arm's length."
This was just playful banter between them. They all knew about the situation with her and Feimo, that she had decided firmly to divorce him. The text from Man Dong was meant to tease her; Warmth replied in kind.
They didn't know what happened on Christmas Day or last night, nor did they understand her change of heart.
Gao Chunmiao replied, "If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain."
Cai Xiaojing also retorted, "Manager Ye is just a paper tiger in front of you; you can boldly confront him."
Wenran smiled continuously. Her sour and bitter mood felt somewhat lighter due to their witty remarks. She wondered if Lin Ning and Tang Shuwen had ever made Mo Y墨(此處保留原文中的“非墨”以避免可能的混淆)happy when he was in his brooding state.
Given how introverted and stiff he usually is, it must be quite challenging to make him happy, right
Lifting her gaze, she saw Ye Feimo looking at her. There wasn't enough time to evade his eyes, so she decided not to avoid them. The two of them stared at each other without averting their gazes; the surroundings were oddly silent. Wenran picked up her handbag, and Ye Feimo's expression darkened as if sensing that she wanted to leave.
But then, unexpectedly, Wenran brought a tea set over and sat across from him at his table.
Ye Feimo placed his hands under the table and narrowed his eyes. A scorching light flashed in his deep eyes before slowly receding, leaving behind an unreadable expression. What did she mean to do
Wenran smiled and asked, "When did you start liking tea"
"After the divorce," Ye Feimo's voice was stiff and cold.
This made Wenran feel awkward; it seemed he harbored a lot of resentment towards her. However, Ye Feimo's thoughts were incredibly complicated—He never liked drinking tea or soda, only coffee. On the other hand, Wenran loved tea, especially green tea.
As an actress, she needed to maintain her figure and thus always drank tea to stay slim. She had various kinds of teas and teaware at home, but he never showed any interest in them. Occasionally, though, he would watch her brew and sip tea from the side.small potted plant stood by the side of the window.
