The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 113: Regret

She never used to wear a bra to sleep, but ever since she started sharing a bed with Ye Feimo, Wen Nuan would always dress completely when sleeping, and wearing a bra was incredibly uncomfortable.

Tonight was an exception.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, remembering the intimacy, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body. It was truly dangerous.

She had truly been taken in by Ye Feimo; her mind went blank, and she was almost completely taken by him. If it hadn’t been for her period, they probably would have gone through with it.

The crucial thing was that she hadn’t even offered any resistance.

How depraved.

It was all because of Ye Feimo’s face. Actually, she rather enjoyed seeing a look of desire on Ye Feimo’s typically ascetic face; that expression was truly exquisite and captivating.

Wen Nuan patted her hot face. *Silly girl, you were almost eaten.*

But then she thought, she had already been "eaten" once. What difference would it make to be "eaten" a second time?

This was a very serious question.

Hearing the rushing water in the bathroom, Wen Nuan’s heart grew even more anxious. She always had a feeling that something was about to burst forth, something both terrifying and alien to her.

Her heart pounded like thunder.

The script she had just memorized was completely forgotten. Her mind lingered on the warmth of her skin. The places he had kissed were swollen and painful, burning as if on fire, terribly uncomfortable.

She thought she also wanted a cold shower.

But she considered her injured arm.

Wen Nuan silently teared up.

When Ye Feimo came out of the shower, Wen Nuan’s heart was still beating rapidly. His face had an inexplicable flush. Wen Nuan thought about what discordant things someone had done in the bathroom just now, and she couldn’t help but imagine that scene in her mind. It was actually quite sexy, wasn’t it?

Wen Nuan couldn’t stand it and hit her head. Ye Feimo got into bed.

A silence filled the air; no one spoke. Wen Nuan buried her head like an ostrich, her back to Ye Feimo, cursing into the corner of the blanket. *Why is he so calm?*

Young Master Ye was truly the king of composure.

"Your heart is beating so fast. What, do you want more?" Suddenly, a voice from behind her spoke, making Wen Nuan flustered. She cursed him, "Get lost!" He had rumors with women every day; why was he still thinking about *this*?

Didn’t anyone else satisfy him?

Ye Feimo coldly snorted, but didn’t say anything more. Wen Nuan thanked heavens. Young Master Ye was a terrifying amalgamation; it was best not to provoke him.

"How many days is your period?"

"Half a month," Wen Nuan answered calmly.

Ye Feimo snorted, "It should end tomorrow, right? We’ll continue tomorrow."

Wen Nuan teared up. "Four days."

*Wah...* So wronged.

Ye Feimo grunted again, silently indicating he had noted it. Wen Nuan weakly turned around. "Ye Feimo, my arm still needs half a month to get the stitches out. Are you really that... that... *that* hungry?"

"What do you mean by ’that, that, that’?" Ye Feimo asked her expressionlessly. Young Master Ye indicated he was very confused.

Wen Nuan teared up again and said nothing more.

Sleep was important.

Ye Feimo shook his head. He wasn’t truly that desperate. Having waited this long without having her, he didn’t mind waiting another half month.

Wen Nuan, on the other hand, wondered if, after the stitches were removed in half a month, she would get injured again while doing wirework and need more stitches.

This was a question worth pondering.

### "Beauty Unparalleled" Press Conference

"Beauty Unparalleled" quickly signed a contract with Wen Nuan. The Tang Group held a grand press conference, attended by Director Lin, Wen Nuan, and the film’s male lead, Zhang Qi, as well as Peng Yuming and Cheng Ying.

The promotional poster had been re-shot with Wen Nuan replacing Bai Xiowen. The poster was magnificent, highlighting Wen Nuan as the female lead, whose role occupied twice as much screen time as the male lead’s. Wen Nuan’s figure was particularly prominent on the entire poster, exuding nobility, grandeur, and astonishing beauty.

This was a stark contrast to the original poster, which featured the male lead, Peng Yuming, and Cheng Ying.

The press conference was held with great fanfare, inviting seasoned entertainment journalists who mostly asked questions related to the film. This movie was originally one of the most anticipated New Year’s films of the year.

Later, due to the Bai Xiowen incident, its reputation plummeted. Unexpectedly, they decided to replace the lead role in a short period.

Because Wen Nuan was a newcomer with no prior works and was starring in such an important film for the first time, public attention was focused on whether Wen Nuan could handle the female lead role and carry the entire film.

The spotlight of this press conference was squarely on Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan had undergone rigorous training on how to answer reporters’ questions in a way that wouldn’t bore them or make her seem aggressive. This was a crucial skill in the game between artists and entertainment journalists.

When Wen Nuan first entered the industry, Cai Xiaojing had trained her in this area, and she had gained some practical experience, so Wen Nuan’s answering skills were fairly well-honed.

Entertainment journalists’ questions always contained traps, always aiming to exploit loopholes in an artist’s words to create sensational headlines and scandals. Yet, they were also very cunning, always knowing how to conceal their true intentions.

Wen Nuan was a newcomer and hadn’t done many interviews. Besides the "Princess Qinglian" interviews on set, she had only done two one-on-one TV interviews, also on set.

She remained composed and handled herself quite well.

During the previous "Princess Qinglian" New Year’s Eve press conference, many questions focused on Zhuo Bingbing, Chen Hang, and Director Zhang, leaving her with little to do. But today, almost all the attention was on her and Director Lin.

Cai Xiaojing had repeatedly warned her to be careful with her words.

Wen Nuan remembered everything, but there were many reporters present, their cameras constantly rotating, flashbulbs continuously firing. She felt a slight nervousness, though she maintained a smile and showed no signs of it.

The entertainment journalists asked some questions about the movie "Beauty Unparalleled." One reporter directly asked Wen Nuan, "Miss Wen, this is your first movie, and you’ve been given such a great opportunity. What do you think is the reason for this?"

Wen Nuan pursed her lips and smiled. As the flashbulbs flickered, Wen Nuan sweetly replied, "I believe it’s my good fortune. My teacher recommended me, and Director Lin also felt that my acting and appearance suited ’Beauty Unparalleled,’ so I am very honored to have received this role."

"Miss Wen, there were rumors recently that you and Director Lin have a close relationship. What is your relationship?"

Wen Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. She smiled faintly. "Director Lin is my mentor."

"But some people say you two are dating, Miss Wen. Is that true?"

Wen Nuan said, "That’s a misunderstanding. Last time, Director Lin came to the set to arrange a meeting, and I happened to have an accident. Director Lin rescued me, and I’m very grateful to him. Besides..."

Wen Nuan playfully blinked, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Director Lin wouldn’t really be a cradle robber, would he?"

Lin Ning asked the reporter expressionlessly, "Am I very old?"

"Not at all, not at all..."

"Director Lin, you are so handsome and have so many admirers, how could you be old?"

"Director Lin is a handsome director, looking like a young man in his twenties, not old at all."

### Aftermath of the Press Conference

A flurry of compliments for Director Lin filled the air. Cai Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. She was very pleased with Wen Nuan’s performance. During the press conference, reporters asked more questions about the film, which Wen Nuan answered skillfully and confidently, earning her much goodwill from the media.

Someone tried to dig into the rumors about Director Lin and Wen Nuan, but Lin Ning unhappily retorted, "Today is the press conference for ’Beauty Unparalleled.’ No more questions unrelated to the film will be allowed. Anyone who doesn’t want a beating better shut up."

Which reporter wasn’t aware of Director Lin’s fiery temper? They immediately closed their mouths. A few reporters who had a good relationship with Lin Ning skillfully guided the questions, redirecting them towards the benefits of Wen Nuan starring in the film and her acting skills.

The press conference was a great success.

Anning International also cooperated with the promotion, broadcasting promotional clips of "Beauty Unparalleled" during prime time every evening on MBS Television and airing Wen Nuan’s commercials. Various posters for "Beauty Unparalleled" quickly covered shopping malls, subway entrances, and were visible everywhere on the streets.

The promotional campaign for Director Lin’s latest New Year’s film began to spread like wildfire.

Wen Nuan was very busy during this period, working both on the "Princess Qinglian" set and Lin Ning’s set.

On the "Princess Qinglian" side, they had already established a good rapport. Filming proceeded very smoothly. On Lin Ning’s side, filming had just begun, and it was more difficult to get into the swing of things. It took a week for Lin Ning to fully immerse Wen Nuan in the process.

As both sides grew busy, Ye Feimo became extremely dissatisfied with Wen Nuan’s work. An artist’s schedule was truly packed, leaving no time to be with him. Wen Nuan would return home late every night, sometimes even staying at the set. Ye Feimo’s temper had been soaring during this period.

He already regretted letting Wen Nuan enter the entertainment industry.

But despite her busy schedule, Wen Nuan was incredibly happy. Seeing her happiness, Ye Feimo temporarily let her off the hook.

During this time, Cheng Anya invited Wen Nuan for afternoon tea once. Xu Nuo didn’t come. Cheng Anya really liked Wen Nuan, and they had a very pleasant conversation, finding much in common.

Wen Nuan finally wasn’t afraid of Cheng Anya anymore. She just couldn’t understand why such a witty and lovely mother would give birth to a son like Ye Feimo.

Cheng Anya expressed that she also felt quite innocent.

Ye Feimo’s recent scandals had significantly decreased, almost to none. Unable to dig up new news about Young Master Ye, people began to delve into his romantic history, listing out his past beauties one by one, which was quite a spectacular sight.

Recently, the entertainment news had been filled with old news about Ye Feimo. Cheng Anya was very satisfied with this phenomenon, while Wen Nuan was quite puzzled, unable to help but wonder to herself.

*Could it be that he was stifled that night, and some function was impaired?*
