Ye Feimo was driving while Wenrui was playing with her phone. As soon as she went online, news about today's film critics' awards in City A covered everything. Wenrui frowned and closed her phone again. Ye Feimo glanced at her; just then, Wenrui looked up, smiled slightly, and closed the webpage.

The car stopped downstairs from their apartment building. As soon as Ye Feimo unbuckled his seatbelt, Wenrui came over and hugged him affectionately by holding his arm, then nuzzling her head against his shoulder, "Ye Feimo, thank you."

Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow and stroked her hair with a smile on his face. “Thank me for what”

"Everything!" Wenrui smiled. Ye Feimo was in high spirits; he jokingly arched an eyebrow and ran his gaze over her body, then darkened slightly as he looked into her eyes. "I don't mind if you choose a different way to thank me."

Wenrui raised her head and glared at him angrily; this man had always been thinking about such things since becoming a sex addict.

However, she smiled with narrowed eyes and leaned in close to his ear. "Sure, I can do that... but this time it's my turn."

The light of understanding shone into Ye Feimo’s eyes as he said, “Good girl, now you know about the concept of meat payment. Your lord will indulge you for once, however you want.”

...

Tang Shuwen and Chen Xier talked about the Golden Seal Awards on their way back; from Tang Shuwen’s tone, it seemed that Wenrui wouldn’t have any problems getting those two awards at the Golden Seal Awards, with Best Actress being almost certain.

Still, for her to win an award in the first year of the Golden Seal Awards was already a great honor for Wenrui.

This kind of glory was rarely seen by others.

Tang Shuwen laughed and asked, “How about you Best Supporting Actress”

Chen Xueru shook her head and said with a smile, "There's no need to worry about it. Annie can't monopolize all the awards; you would feel awkward if she did that. I've already won Best Supporting Actress once, so there's no need for me to win again. Besides, whether or not I get an award doesn't really matter."

Her current life was peaceful and happy. The only drawback was that her son wasn't well yet. She didn't place much importance on awards; it would be good if she received recognition, but even without it, there wouldn't be any loss.

Different from Warming, who was in the rising phase of her career and was a new talent, Chen Xueru had already passed that stage.

"You don't need one"

"No, I really don't need it," said Chen Xueru with a faint smile. Tang Shuweng smiled and, thinking of the lunar New Year Eve, asked, "XueRu, the Lunar New Year's Eve is approaching; do you want to go pay respects to your parents"

Chen Xueru had a tragic background, her parents having passed away early. To avoid making her sad, Tang Shuweng usually didn't ask about her parents and didn't know much about them. During their marriage, he hadn't gone to pay respects to his in-laws either; yet, it was only natural to go on New Year's Eve.

In A City, there was a custom for married women to bring their husbands back to their parents' home for a day a few days before the lunar New Year. Since her parents were no longer around, going to offer them incense would be good.

Chen Xueru looked at Tang Shuweng in surprise as if she was very surprised that he would suggest visiting her parents; Tang Shuweng felt a pang of heartache and casually asked, "What's wrong Is there something incorrect"

"Oh, nothing," said Chen Xueru with her head lowered. Their marriage had gradually entered a comfortable phase; there was no dramatic romance or grand vows, and any pre-marriage animosity seemed to have dissipated as well. Life now was peaceful.

They would be together for the rest of their lives.

She began to believe that they were one family.

In her heart, she regarded Tang Si and Warming as family members but had always felt complicated about Tang Shuweng. She dared not invest too much in him, afraid of disappointment, and even more so, didn't dare consider him part of the family.

Over these years, she came to realize that one shouldn't hold out great hope for outsiders.

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

The greater the hope, the deeper the disappointment. Thus, she had grown accustomed to not expecting anything from others; without expectations, there would be no disappointments.

But now, saying that she doesn't expect anything is a lie.

"We're free these days, why don't we take Xiao Nian to sweep the graves tomorrow It will also give Xiao Nian some respite," Tang Shuwen suggested. Chen Xier nodded; whenever her son was mentioned, she agreed with everything.

Tang Shuwen knew exactly where her weakness lay and how to get her agreement.

It couldn't be denied that he was a clever, considerate, and amiable man.

In women's eyes, such men were undeniably princes charming. If she forgot about the unpleasantness before marriage, Tang Shuwen would indeed deserve full marks. She should feel fortunate to have encountered him after going through so much.

As they neared home, Tang Shuwen received a call. Chen Xier saw his brow furrow and heard him say, "I understand," before hanging up; when he put down the phone, his eyes were dark with anger.

Chen Xier rarely ever saw him angry, even less so after marriage than she had seen pre-marriage.

They arrived at Tang's house.

Tang Shuwen said, "Xier, I have something to take care of suddenly, you go home first."

"Okay!" Chen Xier smiled and thought it might be work-related; she didn't ask more questions. Just as she was unbuckling her seat belt to get out of the car, Tang Shuwen suddenly grabbed her hand. She froze and turned to look at him.

"What is it" Chen Xier asked.

Tang Shuwen's grip tightened, a look of unease crossing his face, "Xueru, if anyone ever tells you something one day, you must first verify it with me and ask for my thoughts. You cannot make assumptions about anything on your own, understand"

Although Chen Xieru didn't know what he was talking about, she still nodded her head. Tang Shuwen watched as she entered the house before leaving in his car.

When Chen Xieru returned home, both parents of Tang were in the living room. Seeing her return alone, Wen Lan asked, "Where's Shuwen"

"He had something come up and said he'd be late," Chen Xieru replied as she walked over. Xiaoni was still his usual self; after seeing a psychiatrist, there hadn't been much improvement. Everyone felt helpless, as Xiaoni strongly rejected any help they tried to offer.

“Xiaoni, do you miss Mommy” Chen Xieru hugged and kissed him several times, but Xiaoni's gaze was blank and his expression wooden. Her heart ached, and Wen Lan comforted her, telling her not to rush things. Chen Xieru nodded.

There wasn’t much else they could do.

Outside the Zhao family villa, Zhao Yuning waited for Tang Shuwen with longing. Seeing him from afar, she was dressed in a pink long coat waiting by the door; his expression darkened, making it hard to tell if he was happy or angry.

The moment he got out of the car, Zhao Yuning ran over and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Shuwen, I miss you so much," Zhao Yuning said tearfully as she clung to him contentedly, treating him like a precious treasure that she didn't want to let go of. She cherished him dearly.

Tang Shuwen allowed her to hold on and made no move to push her away.

Zhao Yuning held onto him for quite some time before slowly letting go, tears still in her eyes, looking pitifully beautiful with a charm that was enchanting and easily evoking protective instincts in men. It felt like time had reversed itself before his very eyes.

He seemed to have returned to high school times.

In those days, he was the prince charming who swept through the entire school, and it was said that the beauty queen of the arts class was hard to win over due to her lofty attitude. He deliberately got close to Zhao Yuning with a group of buddies as part of a bet, and eventually won her over.the safety...""Boss Tang has gone crazy!" The black guy was still shaken by what had happened. Long Xiantian and the other four leaders looked at each other in confusion; they didn't know what to do....
