The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 211: A Conversation in the Garden

Han Bi thought painfully, "What is Ye Feimo doing now? Is he with Wen Nuan? What are they doing where I can’t see them? Is Feimo smiling at her, feeling content?"

He said Wen Nuan made him happy in a way she never had.

He was wrong.

She, too, had once wanted to make him happy, happier than anyone.

"Han Bi, don’t be sad anymore. Let’s go back, okay?" Linda comforted her. They were already downstairs from his apartment, and he had made himself clear. There was no point in staying; they might as well go back.

Han Bi wiped her eyes, staring blankly at the watch in her hand. Back then, to choose this watch, she, who wasn’t financially well-off, chose the best brand because Ye Feimo already wore a famous watch.

He usually dressed very simply, but the watch on his wrist was priceless.

Unfortunately, that watch had accidentally broken.

Ye Feimo had said it was a watch his mother gave him, and he was heartbroken when it broke, feeling gloomy for days. Seeing his unhappiness, she went to the mall to buy a watch. This watch was all of her savings at the time.

Cheng Anya said that she didn’t love Ye Feimo back then.

She was wrong. How could she say she didn’t love Ye Feimo?

She used all her savings to buy Ye Feimo a watch. Her intention was simple: she just wanted to make him happy, to stop him from being gloomy. Someone who was always careful with money, if she didn’t love him, how would she go to such lengths to make him happy, or spend all her savings just to buy an expensive watch?

Ye Feimo knew this back then, which was why he cherished the watch so much.

These past few years, despite their separation, he had never worn another watch. He wore it to events, on magazine covers. Han Bi was both relieved and happy; he hadn’t forgotten her after all, hadn’t forgotten her devotion.

But now, he had returned the watch to her.

"I won’t give up just like that, never," Han Bi vowed. Linda was about to leave when a taxi pulled up downstairs. Linda squinted, seeing it seemed to be Wen Nuan.

Han Bi also saw her; it was Wen Nuan.

A City was a bit cold this year. The evening temperature was only around ten degrees Celsius, and a biting wind blew. Even wearing a trench coat, one felt incredibly cold, unable to withstand the chill.

Wen Nuan pulled her hat lower, about to enter the lobby, when she suddenly heard Han Bi’s voice. She turned to see Han Bi standing behind her.

Han Bi’s romantic curly hair was slightly disheveled by the wind. She wore a purple wool coat, a beautiful purple scarf, and a purple gemstone sweater chain around her neck. On her feet were crimson knee-high boots. She looked incredibly stylish, with an almost perfect beauty. Her porcelain-like skin seemed thinly gilded by the dim garden lights, infinitely delicate and charming, exuding the aura of a big star.

Wen Nuan pursed her lips. Was she here to see Ye Feimo?

At the thought of what happened this morning, Wen Nuan’s expression subtly darkened, but she couldn’t say anything. Seeing Han Bi walk over, Wen Nuan smiled. She wouldn’t lose face. Since Han Bi had sought her out, she didn’t want to lose her composure. freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Are you here to see Ye Feimo?"

Han Bi nodded, abandoning her usual assertive arrogance, and said faintly, "Miss Wen, would you mind walking with me in the garden? Just ten minutes. I have something to say to you."

Wen Nuan sneered inwardly. "Miss Han, I don’t think we have anything to talk about."

"Why wouldn’t we? You and I love the same man. If I hurt tenfold, you must hurt fivefold. How could we have nothing to talk about?" Han Bi said meaningfully.

Wen Nuan pulled her trench coat tighter and squinted at Han Bi, leading the way towards the garden.

Famous City Apartments consisted of four buildings, occupying a vast area. Only the wealthy and influential lived here. The property prices in this prime location were exorbitantly high, making it one of the top ten garden apartments in A City.

The landscape design was also excellent. Magnolias and kapok trees intertwined, and the fountains, distant views, rockeries, small gardens, pavilions, and artificial ponds blended seamlessly. It was designed by a famous international landscape designer. Wen Nuan also usually liked the garden at Famous City Apartments. In the summer, many people would relax in the garden, chatting and relieving boredom. Recently, it had been colder, and fewer people were coming and going; at night, there was practically no one.

An international superstar and a rapidly rising new star walked silently in the garden. Han Bi was slightly taller than Wen Nuan, and her attire was a bit more mature than Wen Nuan’s. From behind, they looked like sisters strolling in the garden, especially since Wen Nuan was wearing a white knit hat, making her appear much younger than Han Bi.

Of course, she was naturally five or six years younger than Han Bi.

She was sensitive to the cold. After walking for a few minutes, she was terribly frozen, but Han Bi didn’t utter a word. Wen Nuan wasn’t an impatient person, but Han Bi’s silence made her somewhat displeased.

The weather was cold.

"Miss Han, what exactly do you want to say? Ten minutes will be over soon if you don’t speak," Wen Nuan stopped.

On the path, beside the streetlamp, two slender figures stood less than a meter apart, coldly facing each other. The wind lifted Wen Nuan’s dark hair, seemingly adding a calm anger to the cold breeze.

Han Bi looked at her. This was the woman now in Feimo’s heart.

Not a stunningly beautiful woman, but one who was very comfortable to look at and enduringly attractive.

It was said that Wen Nuan was a "little Han Bi," but in truth, she only resembled her slightly in her eyebrows; her facial features were not similar. Their appearances differed greatly. Han Bi had sharp, distinct features, very three-dimensional and beautiful. Wen Nuan’s facial lines were gentle, exuding a classic grace, and she had a pair of sparkling, charming peach blossom eyes, full of spirit, a very typical East Asian beauty.

Han Bi still believed that Ye Feimo was attracted to Wen Nuan only because of the slight resemblance in her eyebrows.

That night, when she asked Ye Feimo, he didn’t deny it.

He silently admitted the fact.

Wen Nuan looked at her, puzzled. Han Bi took a small square box from her pocket and handed it to Wen Nuan. She took it and opened it, her eyes seemingly swept by a strong wind, raising a dull, bitter pain.

That watch.

The watch Feimo always wore.

It was indeed with her. Wen Nuan pursed her lips and smiled. What was Han Bi doing? Instead of giving it directly to Ye Feimo, she gave it to her. Was this a challenge?

"You don’t seem surprised at all," Han Bi said with a faint smile.

Wen Nuan’s gaze fixed on her. Han Bi showed no triumph, only a faint smile. Wen Nuan had always been unable to guess this woman’s intentions, so she simply said, "No, not surprised at all. Ye Feimo told me today."
