someone like you" Fang Liucheng sneered, curling his lips cruelly, his cold appearance even more heartless: "You are not worthy."Though she understood his thoughts and endured his coldness, she was st...The Substitute Wife of the CEO: Complete 176

"That's too kind of you, Miss Cai. You've been busy running around and are probably tired now. Warm already causes you so much trouble; I can't ask for more from you. I'll stay with her while you go home to rest." Auntie Wen is a very traditional lady who insists on staying the whole night when her children get hurt, and she doesn't want to inconvenience Cai Xiaojing.

Warm often tells her mother that Cai Xiaojing has been so nice. She's really grateful for what Cai Xiaojing does.

"Auntie, you're too polite. Just call me Xiaojing. I'm her manager and it's my job to take care of these things. Auntie, if any reporters come in the middle of the night, you won't know how to handle them. It would be better if I stay here while you go home for some rest. Warm is fine; I don't want you to tire yourself out."

Warm cleverly added, "Yeah, Mom, why don't you go home and get some rest You won't sleep well in the hospital anyway."

Auntie Wen considered for a while before nodding. She gave them some instructions before leaving the hospital.

"Xiaojing, did we cause any trouble to the production team"

"How could that be The schedule was already tight with 'Beauty's Captivating Charm' coming up, and Director Zhang is worried sick. But don't worry about this now. Focus on getting better first." Cai Xiaojing said, "It was just an accident caused by the stunt team adjusting their angle wrongly."

"Okay, I understand." Warm wasn't bothered but felt a bit depressed that she'd caused more trouble for the production.

Warm asked in confusion, "Isn't 'Beauty's Captivating Charm' only ten minutes of footage Why do we need to shoot for half a month" Lin Ning said Bai Xiwen had only ten minutes worth of scenes. It seemed unbelievable to her that a two-hour movie with the title 'Beauty’s Captivating Charm' would have its main character in just 10 minutes, almost turning her into an extra.

The other actors’ parts were already set; she just needed to act it out and it would be done. It shouldn’t be that difficult since this was part of the post-production process.

Cai Xiaojing shook her head, "Originally, the main character of 'Beauty Topples the City' had 90 minutes of screen time in the script. The fact that it was cut down to 10 minutes is purely because Lin Ning isn't satisfied with Bai Xiwen. You re-shot what was cut from Bai Xiwen's scenes; although there were only 90 minutes, the requirements for movies and TV dramas are different, making filming more difficult and time-consuming."

Wen Ran flicked her uninjured hand, hesitating for a while, "When can I be discharged according to my doctor"

"You need one week. You also have to undergo another detailed brain examination," Cai Xiaojing said.

Wen Ran shook her head, "I plan to check out of the hospital and return to set tomorrow. The injury on my forehead isn't serious; it should be swelling down by tomorrow anyway. With makeup, no one will notice anything wrong. Besides, there’s no need for full-body shots. I just want to shoot some individual scenes and emotional ones."

"You’re crazy!"

"It's okay, I can manage..."

"Who said you could" Ye Feimo's cold voice cut in the hospital room; his tall figure stood at the door, giving Wen Ran a cold, piercing look with his dark eyes filled with hidden meanings.

Wen Ran was taken aback—she hadn't expected to see Ye Feimo here.

Cai Xiaojing tactfully left the hospital room.

Ye Feimo had never left. When Wen Dad and Mom arrived, he and Lin Ning had no choice but to leave. Afterward, when Lin Ning returned home, he drove around near the hospital before coming back and waiting downstairs.

He only came upstairs after Wen Mom left.

When Warming told him she was planning to check out of the hospital to continue filming, he became worried and angry, causing his tone to become rather cold.

The two didn’t speak to each other after arguing that night. In the morning, they ran into Ye Feimo and Han Bi in the apartment elevator. Warming assumed Ye Feimo had rekindled his old romance with Han Bi last night and they must have been on fire.

Thus, she wasn’t very friendly to Ye Feimo, "I’m planning to check out of the hospital to continue filming. It’s just my arm that is injured; I can still work."

Ye Feimo came closer and looked down at her from above. This stubborn girl made him want to bash open her head to see what was inside as she seemed to be getting dumber by the minute.

"Before you decide to act like a hero, please read through the contract with Anning International. All work must follow orders; if I tell you to stay in the hospital, then you should remain there until your stitches are removed and not go anywhere else," Ye Feimo said coldly, his tone suppressing his anger.

Warming thought of Han Bi’s face when she spoke about her before and huffed indifferently, "What right do you have to tell me what to do"

The expression on Ye Feimo’s face immediately darkened as he suddenly lowered his head. His face was so close that Warming could count his eyelashes clearly; it frightened her a little when she saw the depth of his cold eyes staring at her, "What are you fussing about"

"Who is fussing" Warming dodged him as Ye Feimo had come too close for comfort. His breath was on her face and this kind of intimacy made her feel slightly uneasy, even though they’ve done intimate things before.

Her heart suddenly started racing.

Ye Feimo said in a deep voice, "If you are not fussing, then just stay in the hospital to recover."

"I’ll be holding up the progress of my shooting," Warming said coldly as she stared at Ye Feimo. "You hate it most when employees use their illness as an excuse to delay work, don’t you"

Ye Feimo was speechless when he was met with warmth's sharp words; that damned brat could be so sassy at times.

"Oh, why are you here in the hospital so late" Warmth looked at him and asked quietly. "You didn't come to see me, did you"

Ye Feimo was frustrated. He had already made an appearance here, yet she still asked such a foolish question. Was that normal Enraged, he said in a low voice, "Who would specially come to see you I came to visit an uncle and happened to stop by."

Warmth let out an "oh" and smiled sweetly. "I'm not going to hold you up any longer since you've already visited that person. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye. I feel truly honored."

"Warmth, are you still upset about what happened on that night" Ye Feimo suddenly asked. Warmth's words felt like thorns, pricking him painfully; she certainly didn't know all the things he had done behind her back.

"No, I've already forgotten," Warmth said innocently and guiltlessly.

Ye Feimo was at a loss for what to say next. Both of them fell silent. Warmth felt somewhat uncomfortable but couldn't pinpoint the reason why; she sat there with a frown on her face.

The pain in her heart was worse than the wound on her arm.

Recalling this morning's scene where he and Han Bi were seen together, she felt as if she had swallowed a bone.

Neither of them spoke. Ye Feimo stared intently at her, making Warmth feel extremely uncomfortable; even the dead would be resurrected by his gaze.n't I say them These things really happened; I didn’t deceive Warmth. I thought you had forgotten that we once had a child.""Enough," Ye Feimo snapped. "Han Bi, I don’t deny that I loved you in the pa...
