The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 121: Gloomy Birthday

"So that’s why he turned his phone off," Lin Ning chuckled heartily. Everyone raised their glasses. Being unexpectedly dragged out for drinks by Ye Feimo today, their spirits were quite high. They usually spent Ye Feimo’s birthdays together, pulling all-nighters, a tradition since childhood.

"Feimo’s coming over," Lin Diyun announced. Indeed, Ye Feimo, having just returned from the restroom, moved through the crowd. A beautiful young woman casually approached Lin Ning, flirting with him. Lin Ning, never one to refuse, gave her a playful kiss on the cheek.

The beauty giggled incessantly, and soon, more beautiful women approached, one for each of the young gentlemen. Among them, a woman in a black, low-cut camisole and black hot pants sidled up to Ye Feimo, her hands creeping onto his chest.

She continuously caressed him, her movements suggestive and alluring.

Ye Feimo’s face was grim. He neither refused nor reciprocated, like a puppet, allowing himself to be played with.

The woman’s soft, full breasts pressed against his chest repeatedly, her hands boldly lingering around his lower abdomen. Ye Feimo drank his wine, his expression blank. Lin Ning and the others watched the alluring scene, shaking their heads.

Ye Feimo’s self-control was truly beyond ordinary people’s comparison.

The girl saw no expression on Ye Feimo’s face, unable to discern his emotions. Her hand boldly teased his most sensitive area through his clothes... Her hazy gaze shimmered with alluring light.

Of course, she recognized Ye Feimo. Few people in A City didn’t know Young Master Ye Er. His frequent appearances, his charm, his prominent family background—which girl wouldn’t aspire to gain his favor?

Moreover, he was so handsome, and his physique had the golden ratio. Even without that golden halo, he was a Prince Charming in the eyes of girls.

The girl herself was young, beautiful, sexy, and alluring, and her actions were even bolder.

Lin Ning chuckled, "Feimo, don’t be so gloomy. It’s your birthday today, after all. Are you attending a funeral or celebrating?"

Ye Feimo’s face remained grim; he said nothing.

Tang Shuwen, being intimate with the girl beside him, also laughed. "By the way, Nuannuan just called Lin Ning, asking for your whereabouts."

Ye Feimo’s gaze darkened. A strange glimmer appeared in his dark, emotionless eyes, yet his face remained expressionless. The girl had been teasing him for a long time, seeing no reaction, and wondered if her technique was faulty.

She grew bolder, attempting to unbuckle Ye Feimo’s belt. Ye Feimo’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He clasped her wrist and threw her hand aside, coldly uttering a single word: "Get out!"

The girl flinched, utterly bewildered as to what she had done wrong.

She looked at Ye Feimo with pitiful eyes. Young Master Ye was as unfeeling as iron, utterly indifferent. A chill spread through the girl’s heart. She stood there, tears beginning to fall.

Su Ran made several sympathetic "ouch" sounds, calling the beauty over to "brother," promising to comfort her.

He reached out and pulled the girl over, playfully kneading her chest, which made her blush. Ye Feimo remained expressionless, as if he felt nothing about Wen Nuan’s situation.

He didn’t care at all what Lin Ning and Tang Shuwen were saying.

Lin Diyun whistled, "Feimo, don’t you care what Director Lin is saying?"

Tang Shuwen smiled continuously. Ye Feimo drank his wine, expressionless. Director Lin said, "I think your bad mood today definitely has something to do with Little White Rabbit, so I deliberately told her you went to the riverside to make her look for you. Thinking about it now, I kind of regret it. Late at night, there aren’t many people by the river, and a little white rabbit wandering around is quite worrying. There are quite a few homeless people there at night, and Little White Rabbit is so fresh and tender... Tsk, tsk, Feimo, I’ve avenged you."

Ye Feimo’s face darkened, his gaze profoundly chilling—a coldness that no one could describe, utterly freezing, like a cold arrow shooting towards Lin Ning, as if to pierce him through.

"What kind of expression is that? Are you feeling bad for her?" Lin Ning asked with a playful smile, looking rather mischievous. "But honestly, your little white rabbit is truly adorable, so sweet and soft."

"Oh, you’ve held her?" Lin Diyun also asked with an improper grin.

"Indeed, I have. You saw, last time I carried her to the hospital, didn’t you?" Director Lin burst into laughter. Everyone commented on his good fortune with women, while Ye Feimo’s face was as grim as Yama.

He suddenly stood up and turned to leave. Lin Ning secretly cheered, "Success!" Suddenly, Ye Feimo unexpectedly twisted around and landed a fierce punch on Lin Ning’s abdomen. The two beautiful women beside Director Lin shrieked. Lin Ning cursed loudly as Ye Feimo nonchalantly turned and left the dance hall.

"Damn it! I helped him, and he still dares to punch me! What kind of world is this?" Lin Ning rubbed his abdomen. "Good thing the beauty’s teasing didn’t get a reaction, or I’d definitely be crippled by his punch."

Everyone: "..."

### A Midnight Search and Unexpected Companions

A City has a very large river that divides it into eastern and western banks. At night, cruise ships and sightseeing boats constantly meander. The high-rise buildings on both banks glitter with lights, making for a beautiful scene.

At night, the riverside was sparsely populated, with only scattered tourists. Most tourists, tired from a day of sightseeing, had already returned to their hotels to rest, and local residents were unlikely to linger so late.

However, there were quite a few homeless people resting on the benches.

In this bustling city, the disparity between rich and poor was vast. Behind the glittering high-rises were humble shantytowns, and behind the dazzling jewels were many homeless people who, with nowhere to go at night, sought refuge on the tourists’ lounge chairs by the river.

The lights on both banks shone brightly, a breathtaking sight.

Wen Nuan anxiously searched along the riverside. The riverside was divided into eastern and western banks, both tourist areas. The western side had a better view than the eastern side. Wen Nuan could only hope and run to the eastern side, continuously searching for Ye Feimo’s figure along the river.

She searched the entire thousand-meter-long tourist area but did not see Ye Feimo.

The midnight wind blew coldly, and her heart felt as though it were immersed in the chilly breeze.

What should she do?

She couldn’t find Ye Feimo.

Had he not come? Wen Nuan had been filming and attending a show all day, then went out with Fang Liucheng, which left her utterly exhausted. Now, rushing to find Ye Feimo, her physical strength was almost depleted.

She sat on a lounge chair. Not far away, a couple was seated.

Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow. It was quite rare to see couples sitting by the river so late. It was already past midnight, a new day had begun, and Ye Feimo’s birthday was over.

She sat and rested, listening to the girl explain that they were college students who had gone to an internet cafe. Their dorms were already locked, and they couldn’t get in. They had nowhere else to go, and as poor students without much money, they were simply sitting by the river enjoying the view.
