He had already walked up to her, his face cold and as if he didn’t recognize her. In the night air, she felt a chill. Since he didn’t say anything and she dared not ask him to check her car—Ye Nimore was very knowledgeable about cars; if he helped look at it, he would be able to tell why it wouldn’t start.

Feeling his coldness, Nuannuan couldn’t bring herself to speak. She simply said, "I called a tow truck."

Ye Nimore didn’t show any expression, and the two of them stood by the roadside as cars passed by. Neither spoke. The courage for her to walk up to him before was completely gone, replaced with caution. After experiencing this incident, she believed that even if they reconciled in the future, there would be scars between them, and Nimore wouldn’t genuinely forgive her past任性.

She sighed softly. For over twenty minutes, no one had spoken. When the tow truck company personnel arrived and completed the procedures, Nuannuan got into Ye Nimore’s car, still sitting in the front passenger seat. The safety charm she had bought during her trip to Rome was still hanging from his rearview mirror, swinging back and forth as if stirring up memories. He hadn’t taken it off. Ye Nimore owned four cars but preferred driving these two. Usually, he went to work in this car. Nuannuan thought that he would have removed the safety charm because she had hung it there forcibly—back then, Ye Nimore had said that it didn’t match his aesthetic or the car and was quite odd-looking. She insisted on hanging it up, so he hadn’t refused.

She never expected that even after all this time, he still hadn’t taken it down.

She also didn’t turn on the music—it was his car now; she no longer had the right to do so. Without any songs playing and in silence, he seemed not to want to say a single word to her. When Nuannuan tried speaking a few times, there was still no response from him. With each rejection, she felt more depressed inside. In the past, when Ye Nimore was angry, he didn’t like talking much either, but after being with her for long periods of time, he would still say a couple of sentences.

Now, it seemed that he didn’t want to speak even one word to her.

He must really dislike her.

But why did he still come to pick her up Man Dong said that she would come over, right There were many questions in Warming's mind, but she didn't ask them out loud.

The two of them arrived at Blueberry Night. Warming got off the car while Ye Feimo parked it. She was originally waiting for him by the door to go inside together with him, but unexpectedly, Ye Feimo bypassed her and walked straight in without even looking at her once. Warming felt a bit sad as she pursed her lips and followed after him.

Sigh, that's just how he is.

Blueberry Night was still noisy and bustling with excitement; the atmosphere was fiery, the songs and dances passionate. The dancers on stage were dancing provocatively, their long hair flowing and waists twisting in a snake-like manner—it was extremely steamy, causing a wave of screams below.

This kind of atmosphere had been missed for so long.

She hadn't visited Tingting once during her year in America and didn't go clubbing; she almost forgot what it felt like.

Lin Ning, Su Ran, Director Gu, Tang Shuwen, Chen Xueru, Cai Xiaojing, and Tang Mandong were all there. Today, Lin Diyun had something else to do and couldn't make it, but they were already gathered around a table drinking, with the fruit platter almost finished—seems like they've been here for quite some time.

Ye Feimo and Warming entered Blueberry Night one after the other. Lin Ning whistled; it had been a long time since he saw them together, and the sight was nostalgic. In the past, Ye Feimo and Warming were always the last to arrive, but they didn't walk side by side like this now. Someone used to霸道地牽著自己的小妻子 (domineeringly拉著自己的小妻子), seemingly afraid that the spicy atmosphere of Blueberry Night would consume his pure little wife.

Now, with one in front and the other behind, one cold as ice, the other smiling faintly; this scene was quite strange indeed.

"You guys are still the last to arrive. We've already had a round of drinks," Su Ran teased, leaning on the sofa while watching them sit down one after another. Warming greeted everyone warmly as usual. As soon as she sat down, Lin Ning grabbed her hand to drink with him. Last time at the premiere party, she didn't come, disappointing his efforts; he had to make her pay this time. Warming's drinking tolerance was already well-trained; she self-penalized by drinking three glasses of beer. Gu Zhipian said, "Now Warming drinks like it's water. Practiced while you were in America"

Everyone laughed; previously when they'd provoke Warming to drink, Ye Feimo would always protect her. Since Ye Feimo had a bad stomach, no one really forced them to drink alcohol, so the two of them rarely drank.

Tang Shuwen said, "After a year apart, you've become more beautiful and mature. I wouldn't recognize you on the street."

Cai Xiaojing sat next to Warming and said with a smile while hugging her, "Big Young Master Tang has big nerve to praise another woman's beauty when Snowy is right here. When he gets home, Snowy will punish him by making him kneel on the abacus."

Chen Xueru smiled gracefully; Tang Shuwen immediately hugged his wife and declared his sincerity: "No matter how many beauties there are in the world, none can compare to my Snowy's beauty."

Tang Mandong wiped away goosebumps, but Chen Xueru ignored her. Everyone chatted warmly with Warming about events of the past year. Chen Xueru watched as Warming laughed and talked; she truly had become more beautiful, exuding international flair.

Although her face remained the same, her demeanor and charm had completely transformed. In the past, she was like a blooming lily, pure and endearing; now that purity had faded, replaced by a mature allure. The innocence in her eyes was no longer there, revealing instead a woman with stories of her own. She had watched one of her performances on a foreign stage where she shone like a fully blossomed rose.

Whereas before she was a bud about to bloom, now she was in full bloom.

This marriage had completed her transformation from a girl into a woman.

In the past, Ye Feimo pampered and protected her, allowing her to do as she pleased without understanding the ways of the world. She was like a greenhouse flower, but now she stood on her own two feet. Was this warmth or misfortune

Yet it had only been a year; maturity seemed to have come so quickly.

Cai Xiaojing could sense something as well: when Warm used to chat with them in the past, her expressions were lively and animated, pouting her lips and batting her eyes. When displeased, she would even wave at people angrily. Now, however, she sat quietly, speaking calmly without rushing; though still warm, there seemed to be a distance that couldn’t quite be bridged. Cai Xiaojing wondered if it was because Warm had just returned or if she was distracted by something else. Since Ye Feimo had a grim expression as he watched the performance on stage and drank occasionally but didn’t speak to them, creating an awkward atmosphere, it made it difficult for Warm to talk freely.

Of course, everyone could sense the oddity between the two of them. Tang Mandong whispered to Warm: "Originally I was going to pick you up myself, but my brother said Ye Ershao hadn’t come either and he asked him on the phone. Since it’s convenient, he’ll bring you over as well. Did you quarrel"

Warm shook her head; if they had quarreled, then indifference would be the most powerful weapon—capable of wounding someone to their core.even during the most brutal training sessions as a child. In recent years, there were hardly any instances of him shedding tears.Moyao's fingers, as if gently wiping away the tear at the corner of his...
