The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 522: Everything comes at a price

Wen Nuan swallowed hard, the words that had slipped to her lips trembling with fear. She looked at Mo Xiaobai with slight panic, "What do you mean by that? Did something happen to Fei Mo?"

"Little cousin-in-law, you still haven’t answered me," Mo Xiaobai asked cutely, like a child who hadn’t gotten candy and was begging for it, her expression utterly adorable. Wen Nuan’s heart ached. She hadn’t been oblivious to this possibility.

It was precisely because of this fear that she had stayed outside the operating room, afraid to leave. She believed that if she left, Fei Mo’s surgery would be successful, and he would be healthy and fine. This was a deeply ingrained belief she held.

In her most recent phone call with Cheng Anya, she had told her that Ye Fei Mo’s subsequent surgeries had been very successful, and he would likely fully recover within a year, like a normal person, healthy and without relapse. She was overjoyed. Alone in a foreign land, enduring so many disdainful looks, so much loneliness, and the misunderstanding and lack of understanding from many friends, she had finally found a little comfort.

Finally, she felt that leaving Ye Feimo was worthwhile, and her heart wasn’t so sad anymore. After all, as long as Ye Feimo was alright, she thought she would be grateful to God.

Mo Xiaobai asked if something had happened to Feimo.

"I don’t know. I thought Feimo was already recovering. I never thought something had happened to him. He will definitely be safe, healthy, and live a long life," Wen Nuan said firmly. He would definitely be happy.

He had survived when he left Han Bi, and he would definitely survive this time too.

Perhaps in the future, he would meet a cheerful, lively, and simple woman who could give him the warmth she couldn’t. Seeing him happy would be her happiness, her entire happiness. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Everything comes at a price.

She refused to think about the possibility that Ye Feimo might not survive.

"Little cousin-in-law, you must have thought about it," Mo Xiaobai pointed out incisively. Wen Nuan must have thought about it.

Wen Nuan refused to answer, choosing to escape. "I really don’t know, Xiao Bai, don’t force me."

Mo Xiao Bai said, "No one is forcing you. I’m just making a hypothetical scenario. If your departure hastened your cousin’s death, I think you’ll live a peaceful life. Sometimes your thoughts aren’t necessarily your cousin’s. I’ve always believed that two people who love each other should be honest about what’s in their hearts. Of course, if you don’t love your cousin, that’s a different story." If

you love someone, don’t arbitrarily decide things for them. Ask them if they’re willing, if they want it. People’s thoughts are different; your thoughts aren’t necessarily theirs.

So listening to another voice is always good.

But if you don’t love someone, you can choose to escape. No one will blame you because you don’t love them. They can’t force you to love them, and you can’t stop them from loving you. The simplest way is to act as if nothing’s wrong—either enjoy it or refuse.

Wen Nuan clearly loves Fei Mo; why torture each other?

"Has something happened to him?" Wen Nuan asked softly, ignoring the injury on her wrist, anxiously asking Mo Xiaobai, "Is it true? Mo Xiaobai, don’t keep me in suspense, has Fei Mo had an accident?"

"He’s not in danger," Mo Xiaobai said calmly, soothing Wen Nuan’s agitated emotions. "He’s in this hospital."

"What did you say?" Wen Nuan was shocked.

"He rushed to America after receiving the news. His body had just undergone surgery and couldn’t withstand the complex high-altitude environment, causing serious damage. Wen Nuan, he really loves you. Even knowing that flying for more than ten hours would cost him his life, he didn’t care." Mo Xiaobai said somewhat seriously, "How could you bear to hurt someone who loves you so much, and whom you love in return?"

Wen Nuan’s face turned ashen...

She was panicked and at a loss, but hearing Mo Xiaobai say that he was alright, she calmed down. Fei Mo, Fei Mo, why did she have to do this? She thought Fei Mo would hate her. After she said so many heartless things, with his proud personality, he would definitely hate her to death.

"Little cousin-in-law, seeing your pained expression actually makes me feel pretty good!" Mo Xiaobai suddenly said something hilarious. Wen Nuan was feeling sad and couldn’t help but glare at him. No matter if you’re sad or happy, Mo Xiaobai can ruin your mood with just a few words.

"Why are you glaring at me? Seeing you sad makes me really happy because when my little cousin finds out, he’ll be so conflicted and awkward. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Actually, I have no problem with you tormenting him. You have no idea how miserable I’ve been since I was little because of him and Kaka. But, we have to spare his life, right? It’s no fun if he dies. If my little cousin isn’t here, Kaka and I would be so lonely."

"You’re so disgusting. Don’t be so ambiguous with your words, okay?" Wen Nuan couldn’t help but complain.

Mo Xiaobai shook his index finger in front of Wen Nuan and said seriously, "Little cousin-in-law, you’re wrong. I’m just telling you a very serious fact: even if you don’t want your little cousin anymore, there are still men who want him."

Wen Nuan, "..."

She refused to talk about this issue with Mo Xiaobai. She had no pressure talking about his top and bottom roles, but she felt a lot of pressure discussing her ex-husband’s top and bottom roles. Mo Xiaobai, you’re so perverted.

Seeing Wen Nuan’s expression, Mo Xiaobai burst into laughter. Wen Nuan knew he was just trying to amuse her, so she didn’t argue with him. "Is he awake?"

"Who do you mean?"

"Your little cousin!" Wen Nuan blurted out. Mo Xiaobai said, "...Little cousin’s wife, don’t be so funny, okay? Oh dear, I’m scared of you. He’s awake, he’s awake. He’s half-dead upstairs recovering from his injuries. Oh, I forgot to mention, his hospital room is right above yours, just like the layout of your house. I think if you miss him, you can poke the ceiling with something. He’ll definitely feel it."

Wen Nuan looked up at the ceiling, "..."

Mo Xiaobai was excited just thinking about it. "Do as I say, it’ll definitely work. If your little cousin is in a good mood, his injuries might heal even faster, and he might be discharged even earlier than you."

"Go get something and poke him, see if he reacts." Wen Nuan complained expressionlessly, doubting whether Ye Feimo was even upstairs.

"You don’t believe me?" Mo Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, feigning injury. Wen Nuan rolled her eyes, still unconvinced. Mo Xiaobai shook his head, then suddenly ran to the window and shouted, "Xiao Hei, your young mistress is downstairs. Do you want to get something to send a message to your young master?"

Wen Nuan was speechless for a moment. Just as Wen Nuan was about to retort, she heard Xiao Hei’s voice, "The young master said you’re boring." Wen Nuan

was speechless again.
