down! I can clearly tell you that even if you kill him, there's no way out of this predicament. This isn't a personal grudge but a conflict between us and the government."The Tortoise added, "You’d b...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO Steps Closer to His Heart 696

Sensing her thoughts, Ye Feimo held her warm hand and said, "Nuannuan, you're only 22 years old. Being under my protection at such an early age is indeed unfair for you; it makes you a mere ornament. I know you have talent and passion in acting. In the past, it was due to my own issues that I couldn't accept it. Now, I support any decision of yours. If you want to act, go ahead and do it. I won't stop you. Do what you wish to do with peace of mind. The ten-year agreement we had is now nullified. If you want to be an actress, then I will let you thrive in the entertainment industry for your entire life."

"Feimo..."

Ye Feimo smiled and lightly kissed her lips. In the past, he was too stubborn and hadn't realized that Nuannuan was still too young to give up on her dream career just to stay by his side. Over time, she would inevitably feel resentful. By then, their marital relationship might deteriorate irreparably. If she wanted to act, why couldn't he support her This was his world, and if she could freely explore it without getting hurt, there was no need for him to force Nuannuan to give up.

He used to despise the entertainment industry because of a woman. Now, however, he would accept it for another woman's sake, even though it might be dirty and chaotic. This stage belonged to his beloved, and all he needed to do was keep its filth away from her.

"Feimo, thank you," Nuannuan said through her tears as she hugged him tightly. She had already made up her mind that if Ye Feimo really couldn't accept it, she would retreat behind the scenes and never appear in front of the public again. Although this was disappointing, their relationship was more important to her. But unexpectedly, Ye Feimo understood her and agreed to let her continue in the entertainment industry.

This meant more to Nuannuan than anything else.

She used to be really foolish, which led her to hurt Ye Feimo.

He patted her back and said, "When I went to Blueberry Night yesterday, I was thinking about how to tease you and mock you. Even if I felt bad myself, I wanted someone else to suffer too. But it turned out that the sky cleared up after just one day."

"You could have used Xu Wenhui to upset me," Tan Warming joked, then kissed him heavily on the lips. Ye Feimo smiled without speaking; he wasn't afraid of Tan Warming knowing about Xu Wenhui, but was worried that she might overthink it. From her tone, however, she didn't seem concerned, which made Ye Feimo feel at ease.

"She's just a minor person and has no power to upset you." Ye Feimo changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I haven't tasted your cooking in a long time. Let's have dinner."

Tan Warming nodded firmly and jumped down from his legs. Manager Zhang was waiting for him to reply, but Ye Feimo wasn’t in the mood to work at this moment. He turned off the computer and left the study. Tan Warming was looking at some items Cheng Anya had bought on the dining table—some fruits, two kinds of vegetables, fish, beef, and steak. Ye Feimo smiled and asked, "Your cooking skills haven't declined, right"

"In America, I always cook for myself, so there's no way my skills could have deteriorated. My brother even praised my cooking and ate it with great pleasure," Tan Warming blinked her eyes innocently. Ye Feimo smiled slightly; he didn’t mind at all about her little smugness.

Her cooking was indeed excellent. Tan Warming waved the steak in her hand, "Let's have some steak."

Ye Feimo nodded, and Nuanwen went to make the steak. He took out a bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet while she was frying the steak and prepared two side dishes: one with asparagus and another with green peas. The vibrant colors made the food look very appetizing.

Ye Feimo sat still, watching her busy in the kitchen. His heart was filled with deep gratitude and emotion. Nuanwen, warm-hearted; she was his wife. It felt like they had never gotten divorced before, as if there hadn't been a year apart between them, or any emotional wounds in his heart. Even today, he still held some unresolved feelings.

However, nothing could be more important to him than seeing this woman bustling about right now. As long as she returned to his side, he would not mind everything that had happened during the past year—not just because he was trying to convince himself of it.

He walked over and gently hugged her from behind. The smell of cooking oil in the kitchen gave him a sense of security, knowing that Nuanwen was now within his embrace—an incredibly joyful and fulfilling feeling.

"Feimo, what's wrong" Nuanwen asked softly when she sensed his emotional change. "Are you unhappy"

"No, it’s just I haven't seen you cooking for a long time and I miss it," Ye Feimo replied, inhaling her fragrance and speaking gently, "Nuan, would you consider straightening your hair and dyeing it black"

Nuanwen was taken aback. "Why"

"I like seeing your long hair flowing," Ye Feimo said with a warm smile. Indeed, in the past, she had long black hair that he particularly liked; he always enjoyed helping her dry her hair and kissing her strands.

"Okay!" Warm smiled and replied. This was nothing difficult for her; she wanted to return to her original hairstyle as well.

Ye Feimo chuckled, and Warm patted his hand, "The steak is ready."

...

After eating, the two of them cuddled up on the couch to watch TV. Warm received a call from Cai Xiaojing, who said that there was a gathering among some women and asked if she would join. Of course, Warm wanted to go; Ye Feimo unhesitatingly offered to be her driver. When they arrived at KTV, Tang Shuwen dropped off Chen Xiru as well; upon seeing Ye Feimo with Warm, the couple was quite surprised, since men do not participate in women’s gatherings. As such, after Warm and Chen Xiru went inside, Tang Shuwen and Ye Feimo stayed outside.

"You’re together again" Tang Shuwen asked with a smile, already having her answer; Ye Feimo decided to let it go and said, "Let’s go. Come have a drink with me."

When Chen Xiru and Warm entered the venue, they inquired about Ye Feimo's situation. Warm如實告知，陳雪如笑道，“早該在一起了，折騰來折騰去的，感情耗不起。”called Pike to pour out her frustrations.
