Warm didn't intend to delve deeply into this matter with Mo Baixue, treating it as if neither of them knew about it. Mo Baixue also didn’t force the issue and break the silence. After talking on the phone for more than half an hour, Mo Baixue let out a sigh, "You see how I returned but did not go to pay my respects to the boss first; he must be furious. I need to calm him down. Bye."

"Paying respects" was a teasing term between Mo Baixue and Mo Chen. Every time they had a mission and came back, it was their habit to give a report at Mo Yao's place, which Mo Baixue called paying respects.

Warm naturally knew about this. She really admired Mo Baixue for being so indifferent. Even though she knew everything and saw through the situation, she still acted as if she didn't know anything.

No rejection, no acceptance, no distance, no closeness.

This kind of relationship truly defies imagination.

She then thought about her own relationship with Ye Feimo and felt endless melancholy.

She had considered the possibility that curses might not be effective. However, she couldn't take the risk; she wouldn’t gamble away his life on this uncertain situation. Even if they were separated, as long as he was alive and breathing the same air as her.

When she wanted to see him, she could find him in magazines, newspapers, or news reports.

Even if he had a new wife and a new family, as long as he was happy, losing everything would be worth it for her.

This was how she loved him.

Perhaps not what he wanted, but it was what she insisted upon.

The new term was approaching. Wēn Nuǎn had taken a semester off from school due to illness. With Wēn Bābā's extensive network of contacts, obtaining a medical certificate wasn't difficult and didn't require much effort on their part. However, everyone in City A knew that she had just miscarried. Her marriage was hanging by a thread, and although the Ye family had made it clear that mainstream newspapers wouldn't brazenly spread rumors about her, it was an era of new media.

There were numerous online communication tools, various portal websites, forums, her official website, Weibo...

Every day, there were rumors circulating about her. Recently, these rumors had been mixed with both praise and criticism. But now that she wasn't leaving home or accepting any work offers, more unfavorable rumors were spreading.

The moment she took a semester off due to illness, the media went as far as to claim she was suffering from cancer and didn't have long to live.

Almost every day, there were negative news about her and Hán Bì. The difference was that the media faced more attacks than ever before. Almost all major newspapers and gossip magazines focused on defaming Hán Bì, ignoring the efforts she had made in the past decade. It was clearly a tactic to ruin her reputation forever.

Wēn Nuǎn didn't feel happy or relieved; instead, she felt exhausted.

She truly tired of these kinds of things.

Perhaps her personality really wasn't suited for the entertainment industry. However, she couldn't help but love acting.

Cài Xiǎojìng didn't bother Wēn Nuǎn with work or interviews. She protected Wēn Nuǎn well and handled all public relations matters properly. If Wēn Nuǎn truly wanted to return to the film industry, she could wait until "Liáng Hóngyù" was released without rushing.

Cài Xiǎojìng had slowed down Wēn Nuǎn's pace accordingly.

She incites so much resentment, and Han Bi is so jealous of her, due to Ruan Wen's talent and success.

The moment Ruan Wen mentioned going to Athens to Cai Xiaoqing, Cai Xiaoqing weighed the pros and cons both professionally and personally before deciding to inform Ye Feimo. Since Ye Feimo and Lin Ning are good friends, and she and Ruan Wen are also close, they have all been getting along well for a long time. Cai Xiaoqing did not want to see Ruan Wen and Ye Feimo quarrel.

After learning this news, Ye Feimo didn't read any documents the entire afternoon.

The Young Master Ye only stepped in for him during that period when he was most depressed and temporarily handled some affairs. Ye Feimo isn’t someone who would be defeated by setbacks; soon, he returned to work at An Ning.

But those at the upper echelons of An Ning clearly felt that there was a low-pressure atmosphere circulating in the An Ning Building every day, nobody dared to speak loudly or provoke the president, and certainly not confront Ye Feimo head-on.

An Ning had many capable people, who would argue heatedly during meetings when their opinions differed. This habit was cultivated by Ye Feimo himself. There were instances where someone didn’t care about his face and slammed the table to leave when things got too heated.

Especially at full department manager-level meetings, there were always scenes of great interest.

This time around, everyone seemed to have an unspoken agreement to avoid being a cannon fodder. Their opinions aligned perfectly, making for a very smooth meeting. The president was clearly pleased with their maturity and consideration, but felt unsatisfied that no one would be taking out his frustrations or playing the role of cannon fodder.

When the president is displeased, those below him start speculating that he’s been in bad spirits recently due to marriage troubles; if departments don’t perform well soon, they’ll surely be sent to Antarctica by the president.

So everyone worked hard and put their heart into it for An Ning. Ye Feimo was clearly more idle than before.

Zhang Ling once muttered that as long as President Ye is unhappy, An Ning’s performance will surge straight up because he wouldn’t lose his temper when in a bad mood but would just stare at you with an expression so cold it made your spine tingle. To avoid such a feeling, department managers had to minimize their chances of encountering the president.

Performance is the best proof.

With good performance, there would only be praise and no scolding.

So Ye Feimo spent a lot of time daydreaming. In the afternoon, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling traffic below, his mind racing as he suddenly recalled the scene when Nuwan visited him in his office for the first time.

Back then, he didn't particularly like Nuwan either; he just thought she was an interesting girl who resembled Han Bi. He figured it wouldn't be bad to keep her around for a few days and found it amusing how she tried to appear strong despite being upset.

Who would have thought that his intention of keeping her for a few days ended up completely trapping him.

The irony was, he didn’t even realize when he had invested such deep feelings into her. By the time he discovered it, things were already beyond repair and only getting worse with every passing day; he never wanted to be separated from her in this lifetime.

He’d never imagined that Nuwan would leave him on her own accord.

He was too confident, so much so that he always believed he had everything under control and that he would spend the rest of his life with Nuwan in eternal happiness… But then...

Suddenly, the rabbit that he thought he controlled was about to jump out of his grasp.

He felt anxious, flustered, and at a loss for what to do.
