The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 174: Lingering Doubts and Reassurances

Wen Nuan’s eye twitched, and she had no choice but to walk over. Han Bi glared at her resentfully. Wen Nuan smiled sweetly as she bypassed her. "Where’s Mrs. Ye?"

"My dad picked her up," Ye Feimo replied.

Han Bi suddenly said, "Feimo, that night in F City, you..."

Ye Feimo turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over her. Han Bi was so startled by his look that all sounds caught in her throat. Wen Nuan’s smile stiffened slightly. Ye Feimo said in a low voice, "Han Bi, you’ve been in America for a few years. You haven’t improved your other skills, but your tactics certainly have."

She detected his sarcasm, feeling a pang in her heart, her eyes welling up as if about to cry. Gu Rui walked over, as if to say something, but Han Bi stopped him. Wen Nuan rested her chin on her hand and called out, "Ye Feimo, are you leaving or not?"

"Leaving!"

Han Bi watched their departing figures, her gaze cold and sharp. She bit her lip unwillingly. "Gu Rui, I’m not resigned. I truly am not. He clearly loves me and hasn’t forgotten me all these years. How could he fall for Wen Nuan so quickly? I’m really not resigned."

Gu Rui frowned. "Han Bi, Ye Feimo isn’t the only man in the world. Why are you so fixated on him?"

"You don’t understand, you don’t understand... I truly love him."

Gu Rui’s gaze darkened, recalling Chen Xueru from years ago. Back then, there was a woman who loved him with such devotion. He treated Chen Xueru ruthlessly, breaking her heart, and now another woman was breaking his heart in the same way.

*Heaven truly is fair.*

Wen Nuan felt restless. What did Han Bi mean by that? Had she and Ye Feimo been together again? Yet... she secretly glanced at Ye Feimo. He seemed very calm, very composed, as if he had nothing to hide.

She thought that Han Bi was referring to F City during the film festival. At that time, she and Ye Feimo had not yet established their relationship. Whatever he did with Han Bi, even if they spent the night together, it wasn’t her business, was it?

After all, she wasn’t new to the fact that Ye Feimo was a womanizer.

If Han Bi threw herself at him, he certainly wouldn’t refuse, especially since she was his former lover.

Wen Nuan couldn’t remember where she had read it, but some men deep down always consider their ex-lovers as their own, having once possessed them. That’s why girlfriends often harbor an inexplicable hostility towards their boyfriend’s exes.

Because that person holds an unusual place in her man’s heart.

Wen Nuan actually didn’t mind Ye Feimo’s past with other women. If she did, she’d be consumed by jealousy. But with Han Bi, she truly did mind, even though it was before she and he had established their relationship.

She had no right to demand Ye Feimo’s purity before yesterday, so Wen Nuan simply remained silent, although Han Bi’s words had quite an impact on her.

"Don’t overthink it," Ye Feimo said lightly. "Han Bi and I are over."

"Oh..." Wen Nuan hummed, looking down to count her fingers. *Over, over... What’s over? It ended seven years ago, and you still can’t forget her.*

Women are naturally a bit narrow-minded and cannot tolerate another’s presence in their man’s heart.

Wen Nuan herself wasn’t sure if he loved Han Bi more or her more. She felt a sense of crisis.

Han Bi loved him, without a doubt. Although she didn’t know why they broke up, now Han Bi was pursuing him relentlessly, and he still harbored lingering affection for her.

Old flames were the easiest to rekindle.

They say that when a woman pursues a man, it’s like a thin veil. With Han Bi pursuing him so passionately, and she being a woman he once possessed, how could he not be tempted at all, especially since he was a bit of a womanizer?

Wen Nuan silently teared up.

Ultimately, she still didn’t quite trust Ye Feimo. frёeωebɳovel.com

Or perhaps, she felt a little insecure. After all, Han Bi had been with him for so many years, and she had only been with him for such a short time. Moreover, Ye Feimo’s initial attraction to her was because she resembled Han Bi.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me directly," Ye Feimo said.

Wen Nuan pouted. "No."

"You say one thing and mean another." Ye Feimo freed one hand and pinched her ear. "When I say it’s over, it’s over. Don’t overthink it."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!"

Wen Nuan smiled radiantly. Then she had no more questions.

Ye Feimo sighed. Wen Nuan was truly an easily satisfied girl. Just then, they stopped at a traffic light. Ye Feimo unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and kissed her deeply on the lips.

Wen Nuan tried to push him away, but he held her captive, kissing her until she was flustered.

Horns honked behind them. Ye Feimo reluctantly released her lips and continued driving. Wen Nuan’s face was flushed, as if it were on fire.

"In the future, if you have any doubts, you can ask me directly."

Wen Nuan chuckled mischievously, a little excited, "If Han Bi comes to challenge me, can I loudly declare that Ye Feimo is my boyfriend?"

"Actually, I’d be happier if you said Ye Feimo is my husband."

Wen Nuan: "..."

Miss Wen haughtily turned her face away. Ye Feimo smiled faintly, saying nothing.

Soon, the car reached Central Road. Wen Nuan asked, "Aren’t we going to watch a movie? Shouldn’t we go home and change first?"

"It’ll take an hour to go home from here. We can just buy an outfit directly," Ye Feimo said. Two hours round trip, and then what movie? They parked on Central Road, and Wen Nuan led Ye Feimo into the Bread & Butter boutique.

Wen Nuan loved the clothes of this brand the most. The style suited her well, and the clothes weren’t expensive; a whole outfit cost just over a thousand, a price she could afford. Since it was getting late, there weren’t many people in the store, only three girls shopping. As soon as Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo entered, they immediately stood out, looking so exceptionally bright and dazzling.

Ye Feimo initially wanted to book the entire store, but Wen Nuan shook her head. She had a good figure, so choosing clothes was easy. The store manager was about to come over to assist, but Ye Feimo frowned and coldly dismissed her. He personally helped Wen Nuan pick out clothes.

As the CEO of Anning International, his businesses—jewelry, perfume, and entertainment—were all connected to the fashion industry. Ye Feimo had excellent taste from a young age and a keen eye for fashion, never needing guidance when picking out clothes.

He initially thought of picking out a sexy dress for Wen Nuan, paired with a watermelon-red long coat. However, Wen Nuan wanted something more student-like. Ye Feimo looked at his formal attire. She wanted a student style?

*Was she deliberately implying that he was an old cow eating young grass?*

Young Master Ye Er said nothing more, picked out a few dresses and coats for her, and directly pushed her into the dressing room to change.
