After Ye Feimo finished his call and arranged things, he returned to the living room. Wenran had already finished breakfast. He said, "We won’t be able to find out about Mom’s whereabouts in a short while. Shall I take you out for a walk"
Wenran originally wanted to stay at home waiting for news from Auntie Wen, but after hearing Ye Feimo's suggestion and considering their current situation and the awkwardness between them, she nodded her head. She went upstairs to change into another outfit and brought her bag downstairs to go out with him.
Athens wasn’t big; houses were closely distributed in a colorful array, quite characteristic.
Wenran mainly wanted to clear her mind by looking at the famous local tourist attractions. Ye Feimo took her to the Acropolis.
The Acropolis had Athens' most famous architectural complex and many other sights worth seeing. For now, Wenran set aside all her heartaches and doubts and toured around with Ye Feimo. Since they were already in Athens, it would be a pity not to have some fun.
Aside from ancient buildings and temples, the blue and white of the Aegean Sea, there weren’t many places worth seeing in Athens.
Ye Feimo was an extremely responsible tour guide; he had encyclopedic knowledge of the local culture and customs. Even a mundane Greek myth that one could get tired of hearing sounded fascinating coming from him.
Wenran enjoyed listening to his stories as they toured, which was quite enjoyable.
The gentle company of this man and his thoughtful explanations temporarily eased her worries about the marital issues and fears brought on by the curse.
They strolled around the Acropolis for a while before enjoying some local snacks. Then they went up to the top of the Acropolis where the Parthenon Temple, one of the world-renowned ancient wonders dating back to ancient times, stood.
Warm captured many photos. To her, this wasn't a particularly beautiful building; it was more of a special one shrouded in myth. It was said that the goddess Athena had once been imprisoned here, making for an incredibly legendary story.
Ye Feimo's narration was captivating, and Warm listened with great interest. She didn't enjoy reading Greek mythology, but her deepest impression of Athena came from *The Saint Seiya* series. Now hearing Ye Feimo recount the myths about Athena, she found it particularly intriguing.
"How do you know so much" Warm asked. Even before marrying him, she knew that Ye Feimo was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding almost everything. She never expected him to be familiar with such topics as well; during their time in Rome and Milan, he had shared a lot about the local scenes, which puzzled her.
"Dad, Mom likes traveling, so she knows quite a bit," Ye Feimo explained. Warm nodded. Both of them were carrying single-lens reflex cameras, taking photos. The difference was that Warm was photographing the scenery while Ye Feimo was snapping pictures of her.
Every photo he took had her in it, whether they were candid shots or stolen moments, and each one was exceptionally good. Seeing him so enthusiastic, Warm also helped take several photos for him. Initially, Ye Feimo wanted someone else to help them take a few group photos, but seeing that Warm was busy photographing the scenery, he didn't mention it.
After walking around the temple for some time, Ye Feimo received a call. He listened for a moment with a grave expression before glancing at Warm who was nearby. After hanging up, she came over and asked, "Did Mom send word Where did she go Who did she meet"
Ye Feimo said, "She went out to sea."
Warm frowned; out to sea
The Aegean Sea
Seeming to understand what she was thinking about, Ye Feimo nodded. Indeed, Warm's mother had gone to the Aegean Sea.
Once out at sea, it's not easy to find someone. She doesn't even know which direction her mother went in since she was on a private yacht. Ye Fei Mo told Wen Ran the truth, and Wen Ran's expression turned solemn.
"Why do you have to know where Mom went Are you hiding something from me" Although Ye Fei Mo wasn’t typically suspicious of people, his feelings were stirred by Wen Ran’s strange behavior this time around.
"What could I be hiding from you" Wen Ran replied and then hesitated before saying, "Do I need to tell you everything"
Ye Fei Mo stared at her for a moment without speaking. Realizing that she might have overstepped with her words, Wen Ran turned away.
In this moment, she had no mood to admire the scenery or visit any historic sites or world wonders. She simply felt nothing.
After wandering around for a while, Wen Ran wanted to leave, and Ye Fei Mo led her down from wherever they were.
He drove her around town before heading back downtown. On the way, Wen Ran thought about many things. This time out was meant to find answers no matter what, "Fei Mo, is there really no way to know where Mom went"
"There's a way."
"Can you help me look into it then"
Ye Fei Mo smirked. "Of course I can help, but how do we settle the payment"
Wen Ran was taken aback, Can you be any more shameless He actually wanted to charge her for his help
Damn!
He was moody a moment ago, and now he’s suddenly acting like a spoiled brat.
"How much"
"I’m the least worried about money. Do you think I lack it" Ye Feimo replied, with interest in his eyes as he glanced at Warming. He said coolly, "You know what I want."
"No idea." Warming answered tersely. Ye Feimo didn’t get angry; instead, he seemed confident that she would agree to whatever he wanted. Without saying a word, he brought her home and took a call halfway through the journey. Leaf Noname let him continue talking, as usual, but since Warming knew nothing about it, she didn’t ask either. She guessed it was related to Ye Feimo asking someone else to look for his mother’s whereabouts; if he had already found out where she was, surely he would tell her soon.
By evening, when Ye Feimo still hadn’t said anything, Warming felt disappointed and anxious. The butler wasn’t at the villa anymore, but the fridge was full to the brim with food. When Warming asked Ye Feimo about Aunt Wen’s whereabouts, he was busy in the kitchen preparing a meal.
He couldn’t possibly be skilled enough to make anything delicious; even something as simple as an egg noodle dish turned out bland and unappetizing. Watching him fumble around awkwardly made Warming’s heart ache with tenderness. She remembered all those times she had washed his hands for him before cooking meals, and the pain in her heart grew sharper.
Why was divorce such a good thing
No more warm hugs from Ye Feimo, no more overbearing protectiveness, no more tenderness either. Nothing would ever be as it once was again.
For whom had she washed his hands and cooked meals Whom did she labor for tirelessly without complaint or regret
The thought of his stomach ailment made Warming’s heart even softer, in a moment." Ye Feimo didn't say anything more before hanging up.Dou Di...I didn’t expect him to come so quickly, even managing to get in touch with Wen Ran before I could.He has always been uncomfortable with t...
