"No night shifts"

"I don't have any, but others do. I finished four scenes today, so I can rest now. Today it's Pei Qing and Xue Ru who are working late," said Warmth with a smile as she tightened her grip on Ye Feimo's hand, feeling more at ease after making up her mind.

Ye Feimo raised his brow to look at Warmth, "Are you very happy today"

"I'm always happy every day," said Warmth as she hugged Ye Feimo's arm. She also wanted to bring joy to Ye Feimo, "Feimo, let's go out for dinner tonight and have a candlelit meal."

Ye Feimo raised his brow with a half-smile, "To be overly kind without reason means you either want something or are up to no good."

"... Then make dinner when we get home,"

"Let's have candlelit dinner instead." Ye Feimo changed his mind decisively and said with a smile, "Which place would you like to go"

"Let's go to the usual one," said Warmth with a smile.

...

After having dinner, Ye Feimo and Warmth didn't drive back home but went to the riverside. The night view was dazzling and picturesque. Holding hands, they strolled along the riverbank. It was still chilly in spring at night, blowing Warmth's nose pink. Worrying she might catch a cold, Ye Feimo suggested going home early. She shook her head and didn't want to leave too soon, "We are usually so busy that it's rare for us to have time to walk around like this. We can go back later.

"Not cold"

"Not cold, very comfortable weather," Warmth smiled warmly and affectionately linked her arm with his. She suddenly pointed to a bench in front of them, "Oh, isn't that the bench we sat on last time Let's go sit there."

Ye Feimo let her pull him down to sit beside her. Warmth comfortably leaned against his shoulder and asked with a smile, "Does this place count as our love nest"

That day, he had hurriedly run over, tightly hugging her. She realized for the first time that she mattered to him, unlike nameless passersby. If he hadn't come that time, perhaps they would have needed a longer period to get together.

"Want another cup of milk tea" Warmth arched an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

Ye Feimo glanced sideways at her, "Revisiting old memories"

"Nonsense, it's not about revisiting the past. I want to wake up every day to a new beautiful dream," Warmth smiled and said, "I'll go buy some milk tea."

As soon as she got up, Ye Feimo pulled her back down and sat beside her, "Don't trouble yourself, you're still a public figure. You shouldn't be running around at this hour of the night."

Warmth thought about it for a moment and acquiesced to Ye Feimo's suggestion, "Isn't the night view in City A really beautiful"

"Yes, very beautiful,"

"Feimo, I got scolded by Lin Ning today during filming. She rained abuse on me," Warmth said with a smiley face. Ye Feimo looked down at her smiling face and wondered if this was the look of someone who had been scolded.

The expression seems to be one of winning a lottery.

"Did you give it back to him" He asked with a smile.

Warmth shook her head, recalling Lin Ning's fierce manner when he was angry, still feeling apprehensive. "I wouldn't dare. On set, Director Lin is the most terrifying person; no one dares to talk back to him. Even if I had a hundred guts, I still wouldn't say anything."

"I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"Does this count as tattling" Warmth teased, "Tomorrow, I’ll tell him that I’ve been reporting on you."

She probably would be asked to do the scene over and over again after saying that.

The two of them chatted casually about daily life. Warmth held Ye Feimo's hand, leaned against his shoulder, and said softly, "Feimo, could you give me ten years Just ten years; I'll completely withdraw from show business and go behind the scenes."

With a decade in the industry, she should have accumulated much experience. When transitioning from being on screen to working behind the scenes, she would do well too. She could take courses to study directing or writing scripts or become a producer—she wanted to do whatever it took, and at that time, she'd manage An Ning alongside Feimo, no longer doing any front-of-the-scenes work. This was her conclusion after careful consideration; she was still young, so giving herself ten years would determine whether or not she could make something of herself. At the end of those ten years, she would willingly step down and go behind the scenes to help him.

"What did you say" Ye Feimo's grip tightened as he looked at her in disbelief. Her smiling face was reflected in his deep eyes, radiant like a flower.

"Give me ten years to make my mark," Warmth said with a smile, "I know you don't like me being an artiste, but I really love acting; it's my passion. I want to do something meaningful in the entertainment industry. But I understand that this will disappoint you greatly, so can you tolerate me for another ten years Let me fully commit myself to this path and when the time comes, I'll listen to your advice and start planning out a new career. I don't want to make you unhappy every time we talk about it; in the long run, both of us will be upset. Think of it as an agreement between us—how does that sound"

Ye Feimo narrowed his eyes, thoughts racing through his mind. "Why do you suddenly have this idea"

"I didn't suddenly come up with this idea; I've been thinking about it ever since our little argument that day. You asked me to quit the entertainment industry immediately, and I can't agree to that. But I also don't want my career to cause a rift between us and make you unhappy. I've been trying to figure out how to balance our differences, but I haven't found any good solutions, so I thought we could make an agreement." Warm said earnestly, "Feimo, I really want to see you happy, but can you please be a little more understanding of my career"

A Ten-Year Pact.

Ye Feimo gave a mocking laugh as he looked down, and Warm's heart sank; her smile froze. She suddenly feared that he would spew out cruel words just like when they first met—without any mercy.

"Warm, I've said before, I don't like your career, but I won't interfere with it. Don't you trust me"

"Who says you're not interfering" Warm countered.

Ye Feimo frowned; Warm stroked his forehead gently, "Look at how furrowed your brow is—does that look like no interference Do you think staying silent and not showing any stance means you aren't interfering Every word and every expression of yours tells me that you don't like it. How can I possibly be happy working under such circumstances"

Ye Feimo held her hand, "Did Lin Ning say something to you"

"He didn't say anything; this is my own decision," Warm said. "Will you agree or not"

At this point, could he refuse

In ten years, with her current potential, Warm would likely be at the height of her career. Can she really give it up then Ye Feimo chuckled lightly; there was a clear difference between working in front of and behind the scenes. Could she who had grown accustomed to being on stage truly switch to the background after ten years He didn't dare say such a thing, but Warm could—so why couldn't he believe her
