d the coffee in front of him. She was still half-asleep and found it hard to believe that Ye Feimo would watch anime instead of the financial channel.He picked up the coffee, took a sip, then slammed...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO Finale 198

"If you can give me a satisfactory birthday gift today, I won't take the endorsement fee for An Ning Jewelry. What do you think" Ye Feimo's eyes gleamed with intelligence as he made a very gentle suggestion.

Warming had been listless like a wilted cucumber but she perked up immediately upon hearing this, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She clung to Ye Feimo's arm and asked eagerly, "How much"

Ye Feimo held up one finger, Warming’s gaze brightened further—was it a million Currently, the highest endorsement fee she had was fifty thousand.

Ye Feimo shook his head. “Ten million!”

Warming was An Ning Jewelry's lowest-paid endorser; this couldn't be helped as her market value differed from Hollywood stars'. This amount was a bit high for her.

But Ye Feimo reckoned that within another year, her endorsement fee would certainly reach ten million.

After the broadcast of Beauty Captivates the City, her endorsement fees would definitely rise tenfold. The price being offered to her was reasonable.

"Wow! Young Master Second, you're so awesome. Oh my, it's actually this high" Warming didn't expect it herself; Cai Xiaojing had said that An Ning Jewelry’s endorsement fee was very high.

She thought at most it would be a million.

Who knew it would actually be ten million. Her eyes were filled with gold, Young Master Second was so awesome, super awesome!

"If you want this amount, give me a birthday gift," Ye Feimo said. If she gave him a satisfactory gift, he'd pay her the full endorsement fee; originally, he didn't have to spend any money for his own company's products.

But if that made her happy, so be it.

"It's midnight now, which store should I go to find a gift" Apart from 24-hour stores, most shops would be closed. Warming suddenly had an idea and brought over the bottle of stomach medicine and said excitedly, "Young Master Second, happy birthday! This is your birthday present; look how considerate I am."

Ye Feimo: "...".

She was quite resourceful.

"Not satisfied!"

"I'm not satisfied with the donuts, and also not satisfied with the stomach medicine. What do you want then I see that you're deliberately making things difficult for me." Warming pouted and looked at the advertisement on the opposite building; she wasn't happy.

No, even if it’s unpleasant, I have to think about it. For ten million yuan, I’ll do whatever it takes!

Presents, presents...

Ye Feimo glared at her without saying a word or showing any expression. Warming thought and thought but couldn’t come up with a good present for him. Ye Feimo had an icy expression on his face, clearly indicating that he wouldn’t give the endorsement fee if she didn’t buy him a birthday gift.

"Think about it carefully. The artists from Anning International already endorse our products for free. If you want this money, then think of a birthday present," Ye Feimo said with an air of generosity.

Warming wanted to strangle him.

"Close your eyes. I’ll conjure up a birthday gift for you."

Ye Feimo wasn’t someone who listened obediently; instead, he stared at her with big eyes. Warming was furious and said, "Then there won’t be any gift."

"That’s simple. Then I’ll just consider this ten million yuan as my year-end bonus." Ye Feimo said it calmly, looking like the matter didn’t concern him at all, as if what Warming had suggested was exactly what he wanted.

Warming gritted her teeth and suddenly cupped his face. In Ye Feimo’s smiling gaze, she kissed him heavily, "Is that enough now"

Ye Feimo wasn’t entirely satisfied, “I want a French kiss.”

Warming was furious, “A French kiss it is then; I’m not the first to give you one.”

To get those ten million yuan, Warming threw caution to the wind. She cupped Ye Feimo’s face and gave him a fiery French kiss. Ye Feimo took charge of the situation, tugging at her tongue until she was nearly breathless.

By the time he stopped and let go of her, several minutes had passed.

Warming wanted to stomp on his feet.

"Are you satisfied now" Warming asked with a flushed face. Ye Feimo seemed like he still wasn’t entirely happy. Warming was thoroughly angry, "If you dare be unsatisfied, I’ll never let you kiss me again."

“Very satisfied!” Ye Feimo answered quickly.

Satisfied, Warming thought she could already see the ten million yuan coming her way joyfully. Her eyes seemed to be spilling out gold coins.

Ye Feimo looked down on her.

After causing a disturbance all night, the two of them finally quieted down. "I'm so tired, let's go home."

The evening breeze made her eyelids feel heavy.

"Let’s wait to see the sunrise."

"No way, I haven’t slept all night, and I’ll be too exhausted to work tomorrow."

Ye Feimo thought about it and really didn’t want her to be too tired. He could only take her hand and lead her up. They probably got home around 4 AM; she would have to get up again in a few hours to go to the set, as was typical of an artist’s fast-paced life.

Wenran walked two steps but turned back to pick up her dropped keys, almost forgetting about them. Ye Feimo naturally reached out his hand, and she placed hers in his palm, letting him lead her toward his car.

Returning to the Mansion City apartment, Wenran didn’t even take a shower or change clothes; she fell asleep directly on the bed. After a busy day, it was such a luxury to have a good night’s sleep. Ye Feimo tried to wake her up so that she could change before sleeping again, but as soon as he covered her with a blanket, she had already fallen asleep within five minutes.

He helplessly changed his clothes, and at the same time, Wenran rolled over. Her butterfly necklace was revealed; earlier by the river, he hadn’t noticed what necklace she wore. During that passionate moment, she must have pushed it to the back of her neck. Now, under the dim light, he could see clearly.

As the president of Anning International, Ye Feimo knew a lot about jewelry. He was also aware of Cartier’s latest limited edition butterfly necklace, which had similarities with the 5203 series necklace that his company was planning to release soon.

This particular piece looked majestic and elegant, but this time around, Anning International wanted to take an understated luxurious route. Given Wenran's financial situation, she couldn’t afford such a necklace.

Cartier’s limited edition necklaces were globally exclusive with only ten pieces in existence, priced at a premium. Ye Feimo’s good mood was ruined by this piece of jewelry; there was no doubt that Fang Liucheng had given it to her. This stubborn girl actually spent her birthday accompanying another man and accepted such an expensive gift from him—she deserved every scolding.

Ye Feimo felt jealous.

But then he thought about how she had accompanied him through the night, worried when his illness flared up. For the sake of their doughnut and milk tea memories, he could temporarily overlook Fang Liucheng for now.

Ye Feimo took out his phone and snapped a picture of her sleeping beauty-like appearance.

Fang Liucheng be damned; that was in the past. Wenran lay beside him today, so let Fang Liucheng stay as far away from them as possible.

The next morning, Cai Xiaojing woke Wenran up at 6 AM. Having only slept for less than three hours, she moved like a ghost to the bathroom to wash and get dressed. She felt somewhat more energetic after grooming herself. In her dressing room, she changed into a purple dress and applied light makeup.

The dressing room was connected to her bedroom with wooden stairs leading up to it on the 45th floor. This space of several dozen square meters contained all of her clothes, shoes, and handbags. Wenran chose a purple one-piece dress and put on some light makeup.

The moment Ye Femo woke up after she left the dressing room, Young Master Ye Er was looking coldly at her. He flicked his fingers towards Warmth Past, who was puzzled but obediently walked over. Ye Femo then said, "Ms. Wen, since you are about to be an ambassador for Anning Jewels, I don't want to see any other jewelry on you except for the ones from Anning Jewels, especially necklaces."

"But we haven’t started with the endorsement yet"

“What my boss says goes. If he makes you an ambassador for Anning Jewels and you wear a Cartier necklace on me, are you trying to get yourself killed Even if you want to wear something else, it can only be from street vendors. No branded jewelry is allowed,” Ye Femo said sternly with a dark look. Warmth nearly picked up her bag to hit him.

Ms. Wen turned around and went back into the dressing room to change her necklace. She put on an Anning Jewels purple gemstone pendant, then left the dressing room. Ye Femo was quite satisfied as Ms. Wen walked out of the door.

The General Manager of the Media Department, Zhang, called just after she left, saying, "Mr. Ye, there's a rumor about Warmth. A picture of her kissing Fang Liucheng at Shuxin Hot Spring Club has been posted online. Should we follow up on this"

"What!" Ye Femo’s voice suddenly changed. Hot spring club Kissing

Sh*t!

Ye Femo immediately threw the phone and got up to read the news.

The morning entertainment news hadn’t started yet as it was too early, so Ye Femo went back to wash his face. Damn that Warmth! What did she do with Fang Liucheng yesterday

Kissing

Thinking about Fang Liucheng kissing her made him want to throw Fang Liucheng into the Huai River.

Dare anyone lay a finger on his people, they should live out their lives in hell.

The morning news broadcasted the gossip about Warmth and Fang Liucheng early that day. The photos were blurry but the words "Shuxin Hot Spring Club" were clear enough to be recognized. Because paparazzi might have been afraid of disturbing them, they couldn’t get too close so the pictures were unclear, yet the best part was that it still identified Warmth and Fang Liucheng.

Indeed, the photos captured a kissing scene. From the photographer’s point of view, Fang Liucheng kissed her while his hand embraced her shoulder under the soft lights nearby.

This scene immediately made headlines in various newspapers, as morning entertainment papers had all come out with it.

GK International Media even posted Lin Ning's photos and organized a scandalous gossip story around them. As a result, rumors that Warmth was involved with both men quickly spread.

First she was rumored to be dating Lin Ning, then Fang Liucheng, and now she had been caught kissing him on camera, making her seem like an unfaithful woman who first clung onto Lin Ning and then seduced Fang Liucheng.

Fang Liucheng's status in A City was quite high. He was a popular heartthrob and a handsome young gentleman with no scandals to speak of except for the recent rumors about him dating Han Bi, which had media speculating whether he would end up with her or not.woman's actions at midnight were rather gruesome.
