already asking them to leave, but you know how entertainment reporters can be...""Alright, I got it." Ye Feimo said coldly. As he drove through the bustling city center, outside one of the mall buildi...The President's Substitute Ex-Wife

Warming irritably held her head, thinking that perhaps after so many years of infatuation, she couldn't let go easily. Fang Liucheng was the object of her fantasies from middle school through high school and university.

For three consecutive birthdays, she had stood on the tallest mountain in City A, shouting that she wanted to marry Fang Liucheng.

But being someone's bride was Warming’s lifelong wish.

If she hadn’t gotten drunk on her 20th birthday and gone into the wrong room, if she hadn't had anything happen with Ye Feimo, then perhaps she would have taken the initiative to tell Fang Liucheng, “Brother Liucheng, I like you. Let’s be together.”

However, since the day she met Ye Feimo, her dream life began to change beyond recognition.

It really did change beyond recognition.

She seemed… to have developed some feelings for Ye Feimo.

Warming realized that she liked Ye Feimo on the day by Huai River when the lights were sparkling. She was waiting for him, watching the 5203 advertisement rolling across the river opposite her, and she quietly said in her heart,

I love you.

She knew who the object of her affection was better than anyone else.

From that moment on, she realized that she seemed to have fallen for Ye Feimo.

The instant he rushed over by the Huai River and held her, Warmth felt as if fireworks had filled the entire world,燦爛至極。

But Ye Feimo didn’t like her.

Ye Feimo liked Han Bi; she was just a substitute for Han Bi. He never liked her, otherwise he wouldn't have insulted her and been angry at her due to her identity as an artist.

Warmth called Tang Mandong. "Mandong, I was actually going to talk to you about something. Chuniao and some others are singing karaoke nearby; do you want to come join us Some senior brothers and sisters will be there too. Come out and have some fun."

The background noise on the other end of the call was very loud. Warmth chuckled, "Oh my goodness! I actually wanted to talk about something important with you, but it looks like that's not possible now. Enjoy yourself."

"What is it Wait a moment; I’ll come upstairs somewhere quieter," Tang Mandong said. After going up the stairs, she finally found some peace and smiled, "So what’s the matter Is it about today’s gossip It’s nothing big—don’t worry about it. By the way, did you use chili water on the reporters today"

"Mandong, you really understand me so well."

"What kind of person do you think I am Come on, what is it"

“I’m asking for your opinion. If someone likes you but doesn’t like you back and there’s another person who you have secretly liked for years but has hurt you in the past, and suddenly that other person comes around again, and you don't hate him either—would you choose this one or that one” Warmth asked, quite conflicted.

Tang Mandong laughed. "Hey, are you asking the wrong person I’ve never secretly liked anyone; I’m always open about my feelings. So why don’t you just leave these two men alone and find someone who likes you back Isn't that much easier" Tang Mandong gave Warmth a thorough lecture. “Come here, Little White Rabbit. Listen to me: We’re only 20 years old, so there’s no need to rush into love now—there’s plenty of time for us to enjoy our youth later on. Why would you want to jump into the grave of romance at such an early age Live freely and happily. But if you really want to date, it's not impossible. If these two men are both excellent choices but you can't decide right now, why don’t you just leave them be for a while and choose from more options Cast your net wide—maybe you’ll find someone even better.”

Warm was embarrassed, feeling that it was foolish of her to ask Mandong about this.

Yet what Mandong said seemed to make sense too.

"In principle," Tangmandong continued, "I would rather find someone who loves me than someone whom I love but doesn't reciprocate. It's just self-torture. If you want to find a person who loves you, then bully him when he annoys you. But if the person you like dislikes you, it will be him torturing you instead. Since we are not masochists, we should definitely avoid this."

"With Warm's looks and talent, finding an ideal man is too simple. Just take your time to choose; don't stress over it,"

Warm: "…I'm not stressed at all, thank you."

"If you're not stressed, then why did you come to me" Tangmandong asked with a smile. “By the way, I heard that Ye Yan is coming back home to participate in 'Lady Hongyu.' This is your ideal man, Warm. Why don't you go and seduce him They say that Ye Yan likes pure beauties like you. You're perfect for him! Spiritually, I support you. Since it's a movie by Anning, as one of her most popular actors right now, there’s a chance that you can land a small role in the film too. This way, if you act and take your chances, wearing an elegant maid outfit might just hypnotize him."

Warm ignored Tangmandong's words after this and asked about what she heard first: "Is it reliable"

The news had been circulating for a long time without anyone confirming its truthfulness.

"My brother wouldn't lie to me," Tangmandong said. "Having Ye Yan as your goal will help you move on from the others and chase after him instead. Yes, that's how it should be done. I have to go dance now."

Warm weakly replied: "…Alright." She was conflicted; she had felt foolish for asking Mandong about this.

"Sis," Wenjing came running into the garden and said, "Fang Liucheng is leaving. Dad wants you to see him off."

"It's unnecessary to give gifts, the car is right at the door," Warm murmured.

Although she said so, she still obediently stood up.

Warm saw Fang Liucheng out. His car was parked outside. She said, "These many days, I think Dad's happiest today. Brother Liucheng, thank you."

"I don't want your thanks for all that I've done," Fang Liucheng held her hand and said, "Warm, what else do I need to do Why can’t you accept me again"

"Isn't it good enough to be siblings" Warm asked, pulling away from his grip. Fang Liucheng forcibly hugged her back, "No, you know that's not all I want."

"Brother Liucheng, let go of me," Warm was getting a bit irritated and pushed him away. "I don't know how to say this, but now... I truly can’t think about these things."

"Then at least put me first on the list when you're ready to consider" Fang Liucheng said with deep affection in his eyes. "When you have time to consider, will you consider me first"

Warm lowered her head and didn’t answer.

A long moment passed...

She lifted her head and looked deeply at Fang Liucheng. "Brother Liucheng, I don't want to lie to you, but..."

"No, don't say anything," Fang Liucheng's finger touched her lips, "Don’t say anything else, I will always wait for you, until the day when I can."ng onto her, "Did you look at my message""You asked me to answer the call yourself. If I hadn't answered, Han Bi would have told me anyway. Besides, it wasn't intentional; your phone is too sensitive....
