The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 124: Misunderstandings and Heated Words

She had no intention of hiding anything from Ye Feimo; it wasn’t anything shameful.

Ye Feimo pursed his lips. "Isn’t ’Beauty of Passion’ starring Han Bi? Why would it be your turn?"

He frowned in displeasure. Fang Liucheng was quite the dreamer, actually wanting Wen Nuan to star. ’Beauty of Passion’ and ’Liang Hongyu’ had conflicting schedules, so Wen Nuan could only take one role. Han Bi was currently interested in both productions, and she thought she was the internal choice for ’Beauty of Passion,’ which was why she confidently approached him about the ’Liang Hongyu’ role. Han Bi herself never imagined that Fang Liucheng would consider Wen Nuan for the lead in ’Beauty of Passion.’

However, Ye Feimo’s words sounded different to Wen Nuan. Was he implying that if Han Bi could star, she couldn’t? Was that what Ye Feimo meant?

"Why can’t I star in ’Beauty of Passion’? I heard the crew is one of the best in the country; this is an opportunity for me," Wen Nuan said, though it wasn’t what she truly felt. She had already agreed with Fang Liucheng that she would defer to Cai Xiaojing’s decision on this matter, following whatever Cai Xiaojing advised.

But hearing Ye Feimo favor Han Bi, as if she and Han Bi couldn’t be compared, filled Wen Nuan with an indescribable anger.

"What? Someone gives you a boost, and you jump at it like a puppy, clinging to their leg?" Ye Feimo didn’t mean to say that, but the words just came out. He hated actresses who behaved like that.

Wen Nuan was furious. She gave a cold laugh. "Ye Feimo, I think coming out in the middle of the night to find you was an absolute joke."

She pushed him hard. Ye Feimo, caught off guard, stumbled back two steps. Wen Nuan turned and walked away. She never wanted to be with Ye Feimo again. Why had she worried about him and come out to find him?

It was simply idiotic, a laughingstock.

What outrageous things had he said? Ye Feimo cursed under his breath, naturally not letting Wen Nuan leave. He reached out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his embrace. Wen Nuan was furious, like a small wildcat with sharp claws, struggling relentlessly. "Let go of me, you scoundrel!"

Ye Feimo forcibly restrained her. When Wen Nuan was angry, she had surprising strength. Ye Feimo finally managed to grab her hands. "Stop it! I haven’t even settled scores with you for standing me up, and you dare to cause a scene with me? Are you asking for trouble?"

Wen Nuan was at fault for what happened today, and he hadn’t even confronted her about it. Why was she inexplicably angry with him?

Couldn’t she be obedient like other women? But if she were obedient, Wen Nuan wouldn’t be Wen Nuan.

"How dare you say that? You infuriate me! Why would you talk to me like that?" Wen Nuan glared at him furiously. "Ye Feimo, can’t you stop being so malicious? You just curse at me without even asking for clarification. I must be crazy to stand here and let you insult me." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Who told you to stand me up and go out with him in the middle of the night, even having a late-night meal? Do you think I’m dead?" Ye Feimo flicked her forehead with his finger. Wen Nuan cried out in pain and glared fiercely at him.

"I told you I forgot, and I’m sorry. What more do you want?" Wen Nuan looked at him coldly. "Besides, why can’t I go out with Fang Liucheng? He’s someone I like. What’s wrong with me going out with him? Is it illegal?"

"You..." Ye Feimo had originally intended to apologize nicely to Wen Nuan. Although his birthday was over, he was in a good mood after meeting her here tonight and didn’t want to ruin it for no reason. But then Wen Nuan said that Fang Liucheng was someone she liked.

Ye Feimo felt as if he had been doused with old vinegar, and an immense anger flared within him. Her words sounded exceptionally harsh to his ears. It wasn’t a secret that Wen Nuan liked Fang Liucheng.

But hearing her say it aloud made him furious.

"Dare to say that again, just try it!" His voice deepened to a terrifying, profound low. In his dark, deep eyes, frost gathered, making him as cold and sharp as a demon. Wen Nuan suddenly felt a little afraid of Ye Feimo like this.

She had meant to wish him a happy birthday and apologize for missing their appointment today, so why were they arguing by the river?

Just moments ago, they were so intimate, almost setting each other ablaze, but now everything had changed in an instant.

The two stood in cold confrontation, neither willing to yield. Both had stubborn tempers, especially Ye Feimo, who stood there with a cold, unmoving face. If Wen Nuan had simply acted spoiled, he might have considered forgiving her harsh words.

Wen Nuan, however, felt that Ye Feimo was being unreasonable, accusing her for no reason. Why should she apologize?

The atmosphere was tense, as if the next moment would bring a violent clash, a life-or-death struggle.

Suddenly, Ye Feimo clutched his stomach, doubling over in pain. Wen Nuan froze. She remembered that Ye Feimo suffered from stomach problems, and it must have been an attack. At that moment, she couldn’t care less about their argument and hurriedly supported him.

"Ye Feimo, does your stomach hurt? Did you bring any stomach medicine?" She helped him to a nearby bench and searched through his pockets, finally finding a bottle of stomach medicine, but it was empty.

Wen Nuan exclaimed in dismay. Seeing Ye Feimo in such unbearable pain, and being a tall, strong man whom she couldn’t move, Wen Nuan anxiously stood up. "Wait here, I’ll go buy you some medicine."

Wen Nuan hurriedly picked up her bag from the ground. This area was a sleepless city, with businesses open almost twenty-four hours. Wen Nuan knew there was a pharmacy open across the street. She didn’t hesitate, rushing to the pharmacy, giving the bottle to the doctor, and asking for an identical bottle of medicine.

Wen Nuan noticed the strong smell of alcohol on Ye Feimo. She figured he must have drunk quite a bit tonight, perhaps due to being in a bad mood. Drinking without eating, coupled with their recent argument, likely triggered his stomach attack.

She felt very annoyed. She had lived with Ye Feimo for so long but had never seen him have an attack. This was the first time.

Wen Nuan exited the pharmacy. The donut shop across the street happened to be open, so she bought several donuts, two large cups of milk tea, and a bottle of purified water before rushing back to the riverside.

Ye Feimo clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead. All his earlier bravado was gone; he looked almost critically ill.

Cheng Anya had mentioned that Ye Feimo’s stomach condition was very severe and needed careful management.

Seeing him in such agony, as if all his strength had been drained, she felt immense self-reproach, distress, and a pang of heartache. Wen Nuan gave Ye Feimo the medicine. He took it and swallowed it, still clutching his stomach, his body trembling slightly, twitching.

Wen Nuan’s heart also twitched, aching unbearably. She hurriedly put her arms around him. "Ye Feimo, let’s go to the hospital. Let’s go to the emergency room."
