ambiguous. Just as she was about to clarify, she suddenly heard the friendly laughter from the caller, which sent shivers down her spine. "Hey there, what's your name"Nuanwen."What a nice name, do you...285

Ye Feimo's expression was as dark as water, his gaze deep and bottomless like a vast chasm where even the splash of a pebble would be silent. His silence seemed to sentence her to death. Wenran kept telling herself that it didn't hurt, that she shouldn't feel sad.

But her heart began to ache painfully.

In this moment, she was deceiving herself into wanting him to say that what Han Bi said was all lies—that he hadn’t been with her and had not betrayed her. But Ye Feimo didn’t speak a word.

He stared at her with a gaze filled with pain, exhaustion, and a kind of disappointment she couldn't understand.

Wenran felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Why did he always do this If what she said was wrong, he could refute it; if it was something baseless and unfounded, he could loudly declare that it wasn’t true.

But why did he look at her like everything was her fault

This was enough.

She had truly had enough.

She had just been hurt by Han Bi, and now she was about to be hurt again by him. Why must this happen to her

Loving someone truly shouldn’t be attempted.

Having given her heart completely to Fang Liucheng only for him to betray her, and now giving herself entirely to Ye Feimo but receiving no love in return—how could she continue

Wenran slowly moved away from him and left step by step.

Ye Feimo watched her disappearing figure in the night, slowly closed his eyes. Han Bi was right, yet not entirely correct. How could he explain to Ruan Nuan He wasn't good at explaining things.

Indeed, he had no reason to demand that Ruan Nuan trust him implicitly with everything; on some issues, what Han Bi said was factual.

His fist clenched slowly.

Ruan Nuan went upstairs. Her body had been exposed to the cold wind for too long and her head hurt slightly. She wiped away her tears, went into the bathroom, filled it with warm water, and soaked herself until she felt warm again.

Was this over

She didn't know if either of them had ever said "break up." Those words were almost out of her mouth downstairs just now but in the end, she swallowed them back. These two words carried too much weight. She was afraid that once they came out, there would be no way to reverse it.

But what about this current situation What did it mean

Could she truly go along with Ye Feimo in such a compromising manner She couldn't bear living like this. Perhaps both of them needed some time to cool off and consider how they would proceed into the future.

However, trust was like a blank sheet of paper. Once you drew on it, even if you erased it, there would still be traces left behind. Could things truly revert back to how they were before

That seemed unlikely.

It would always remain a thorn in her heart.

Herself being an outspoken and straightforward person, if Ye Feimo had wronged her, she wouldn't have been so indecisive and still hoped to continue on with him. This was how she used to think, but now...

She truly... found it hard to part with Ye Feimo.

From when did his every move and smile become etched in her bones, impossible to erase

Nuanran covered her face to hide the tears she was holding back.

No crying allowed!

There's nothing big about it; what's there to cry over People who break up every day—what's one more person It's just a man. Go and find another, why must it be him

Ye Feimo didn't return, and Nuanran was glad for the peace, sleeping soundly.

Better that he doesn't come back; at least there won't be any arguments.

Nearing New Year's Day, the main cast of the Clear Lotus crew appeared on television. ZHUO Bingbing, CHEN Hang, CHEN Xueru and Nuanran, LI Chengming met again. The filming for this project was nearing completion; the first broadcast rights had been sold to AN Ning, who would be airing it on MBS International Television before it went to provincial satellite TV stations. Originally, they were meant to sell it to the most influential provincial station first, but when AN Ning bought it out, everyone involved was more than happy.

Inside China, besides provincial stations, several major television networks in A City were also very powerful, such as MBS International and ATV Satellite Television; all had very high ratings.

The remaining provincial satellite TV stations didn’t have ideal viewing figures. Selling to AN Ning would definitely give them an advantage in promotion.

This time on television, besides promoting the drama, CHEN Xueru and TANG Shuwen’s marriage was another focus; their wedding was the next day, but they were still rushing around for publicity on this last day of the year. They could almost be called role models in promotion.

This drama had already turned into a period romance show. Six teaser clips had been released and were very exciting, becoming one of the most anticipated TV series of 20XX (Please ignore me; I'm crying).

Due to Nuanran and CHEN Xueru's movie being extremely popular, their popularity soared across the city, leading to a promising future for them as celebrities. This, in turn, boosted the drama’s popularity online.

CHEN Xueru could have skipped this publicity round since she was getting married tomorrow, but actors were supposed to support their production's promotional activities.

She could have skipped this event due to the Tang family's influence, but Chen Xueru didn't want to. Although her status would change from tomorrow onwards, she did not wish for any special treatment. If it weren't for the fact that she was married to Tang Shuwen, she still would have attended this promotional event.

The host asked Chen Xueru, "Chen Xueru, you're getting married tomorrow. How do you feel"

"How I feel Just like any other bride," Chen Xueru smiled as she spoke cautiously, knowing that her words could easily attract unwanted attention or criticism towards the Tang family and herself.

Since the TV series promotion was coming to an end, the host then shifted focus to Chen Xueru's upcoming marriage. The female host asked, "Xueru, I believe everyone is also interested in your love story with Mr. Big of the Tang clan. Did he pursue you, or did you chase after him"

At home watching the show, when Wen Lan heard the host’s question, she turned to look at Tang Shuwen and asked, "What do you think Xueru will say"

"How should I know."

Tang Mandong couldn’t help but speak up, "Brother, I don't recall you liking these kinds of shows. What's different today "

“Shut up,” Tang Shuwen gritted his teeth as Xiao Nian giggled adorably beside him, saying, “Daddy must be watching Mommy.”

Tang Shuwen, despite being quite shameless, blushed at this moment. He glared fiercely at his son who stuck out his tongue and ran to hide in Wen Lan's arms while she laughed teasingly with her grandson. Tang Shuwen harrumphed coldly.

Who was looking at her anyway What did she have that was worth looking at

Still...

She looked rather pretty tonight, the makeup artist really knew their craft well.

Chen Xueru was stumped by this question and didn’t know how to answer it. As an actress, they were trained in various types of interviews and could handle tricky questions with ease.incess' and loved the character of Xiangxiang County Princess.
