single-handedly Moreover, why would I want to spread my legs eagerly for someone to take me like you do"Bai Xiwen was so angry that her face turned ashen. She tried to hit Warming again but missed whe...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO - Completed Chapter 361

Warm often felt as if there were eyes watching her from behind, which made her feel uncomfortable. When she turned around to look, however, no one was there. She was feeling uneasy and since her skills weren't very good to begin with, they became even worse when she wasn’t focused. Su Ran criticized her harshly, leaving her in shreds. Even Tang Mandong couldn’t tolerate her poor technique anymore, but Du Di kept smiling at her.

Tang Mandong and Su Ran both gave up on her, pairing her with Du Di instead. Now her sense of discomfort was even stronger; she felt extremely uneasy. Maybe because the sun had been too strong, she began to feel dizzy.

Du Di suggested that she take a rest. Seeing only Du Yueying in the resting room, Warm firmly shook her head. Du Di smiled and understood her thoughts. He said, "My parents indulge Yingying greatly since childhood, so she's quite spoiled. Don't be bothered by it."

"It’s fine. By the way, how do you call them dad and mom It sounds rather strange," Warm chuckled.

Du Di explained, "Calling them dad and mom or parents is all the same. Just go with what feels comfortable to you; it's just a term."

Warm nodded in agreement. She had been filming both movies and TV dramas set in ancient times, so calling people 'dad' and 'mom' felt quite natural. Once she called her mother “mom” over the phone, scaring her half to death.

The few of them kept playing on the field until evening. Su Ran had something else to attend to and left early. Tang Shuwen and Chen Xier planned a candlelit dinner together. Tang Mandong intended to send Warm home but Fang Liucheng came looking for her, wanting to discuss cooperation.

Warm raised an eyebrow. "Brother Liucheng, what kind of cooperation"

The matter was usually handled by Cai Xiaojing.

Fang Liucheng smiled and said, "After 'A Woman of Wind and Moon,' I plan to produce a film set in the Republican era. Han Bi is quite interested too; it's about two female protagonists who are both friends and rivals. One of them would suit Han Bi very well, while the other... Han Bi suggested that you could give it a try. She seems to want to compete with you on equal footing. Are you interested It's quite an interesting challenge."

Wen Ran was surprised; she and Han Bi were going to be co-stars in a movie

Han Bi recommended her

This really shocked her because she thought that Han Bi definitely wouldn't want to see her.

Han Bi walked over, elegant and graceful, exuding an imposing presence. "Are you willing to take on this challenge"

Wen Ran smiled faintly and said calmly, "It's not about whether I dare or not, but if I want it. It's a great honor for me to work with you."

Han Bi shrugged her shoulders. "Then that makes things simple; let's talk while we eat."

"But..." Wen Ran was puzzled. As an actor of An Ning Entertainment, the likelihood of her collaborating with Hua Yun would be small if Fang Liucheng went solo this time as a producer. Fang Liucheng smiled and said reassuringly, "Don't worry; I'll take full responsibility for this film and won't collaborate with Hua Yun. Regarding your contract issue, I will discuss it with Gu Xiaobei. It shouldn’t be a problem."

Wen Ran pursed her lips in thought; if she accepted Fang Liucheng’s movie project which would likely be shot at Jingde Film City as a Republican era film, then she could decline the film that she liked and wouldn't have to spend several months in Paris.

No matter from the perspective of production scale or team members, or even co-acting actors, Fang Liucheng’s idea seemed more challenging.

To go onstage and compete with Han Bi, she was really looking forward to it.

"Okay!" Warmth cheerfully agreed. Others might not believe him, but Fang Li Cheng was someone she trusted; he wouldn’t lie to her. Tang Mandong also felt that if Warmth were to collaborate with Han Bi, it would be a highlight. Moreover, for Warmth herself, this would be an opportunity for growth. There wasn't really anything against it.

"Alright then, Warmth, why don’t you call your old man to pick you up later I’ll go home."

"Okay!"

Tang Mandong left after that, and the Du siblings also took their leave as they saw that Fang Li Cheng and Tang Mandong had something else to discuss. Warmth rode in Fang Li Cheng’s car while Han Bi was picked up by Gu Rui. On the way, Warmth gave Ye Feimo a call to say she would be late home due to some matters. Fortunately for her, Ye Feimo happened to also be working overtime today. Checking the time, she estimated that she could get back at around 9 pm and reminded him not to skip dinner before hanging up.

Fang Li Cheng was driving very attentively all this while. Suddenly, Warmth felt it might have been inappropriate for her to call Ye Feimo like that just now. Seeing that Fang Li Cheng didn’t say anything about it, she decided against bringing the matter up.

"I thought you wouldn't want to collaborate with Han Bi," Fang Li Cheng said coolly and smiled wryly. "No hard feelings I saw how tense things were between you two."

"Not really that bad. Actually, Han Bi is a truly excellent artiste; it’s an honor for me to work with her. Why shouldn’t there be no issues when collaborating with someone of her caliber Besides, performing together with Little Han Bi is also a rare opportunity."

"If you can joke about it like that, then I guess everything's fine. You…" Fang Li Cheng smiled, "Have you been working really hard recently Your face looks rather haggard."

“It’s okay, in a few days I’ll go home and let my mom give me some nourishment.” Warmth said as she rubbed her temples; for some reason, her head was starting to hurt with an odd numbness that felt very uncomfortable.

Fang Liucheng had been watching her movements all along. When they stopped at the traffic lights, he worriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell"

"I have a slight headache... I’ll be fine after some rest," Nuwan forced a smile.

“Alright!” Fang Liucheng was filled with concern as Nuwan closed her eyes. He gently touched her forehead and found it slightly warm, but she didn’t seem to be running a fever. Her cheeks were abnormally red. Fang Liucheng frowned but didn’t dwell on it.

Nuwan felt much better after resting for a while. Fang Liucheng parked his car at the GK Oriental Hotel.

This was Nuwan’s first visit to the GK Oriental Hotel since that night, and incidentally, this was also where she had her initial encounter with Ye Feimo. It felt rather special but the only regret was not seeing him on that day; if they had met and been hit by his rejection, it probably wouldn’t have been such a pleasant place.

Han Bi suggested having dinner at this hotel because it was quite tranquil. Everyone went up to floor 24 and reserved a private room.

The four of them ordered some food and opened a bottle of fine wine. Fang Liucheng and Gu Rui drank rather heavily, while Nuwan pretended she wasn’t feeling well and only ordered a cup of coconut milk. Both Fang Licheng and Gu Rui were gentlemen and didn't press her to drink more; Han Bi wouldn’t either.

Discussing the collaboration, Fang Liucheng wanted to produce a story about two sisters who were dancers in old Shanghai. The older sister was like both a mentor and a friend to the younger one as she guided her into the industry. The younger sister was youthful and attractive with an aura of charm that seemed poised to overshadow the elder. Both women had complex relationships with a returning officer, but eventually, the younger one fell genuinely in love with him while the older sister deliberately sabotaged their relationship due to jealousy. In despair, the younger sister threw herself into revolution work, while the officer died heroically during anti-Japanese resistance. The older sister then married the officer as she wished and moved overseas; years later, they met again at a rebuilt stage in Shanghai.

The story was good with clear plotlines and the production team was sincere about it. Nuwan seriously considered taking on the role of the younger sister as both sisters were main characters with an equal amount of screen time. Moreover, this character offered ample room for performance from her perspective.
