Chapter 390: Betrayal
Cai Xiaojing would agree to any film Wen Nuan liked. The main thing was that she liked it. If she did, there would probably be no problems, and Cai Xiaojing would handle all the contract details.
The people involved and the potential of this film made Wen Nuan look forward to it. Although she knew that working with Han Bi wouldn’t be easy, it was a rare opportunity, and Han Bi was the one who suggested it.
It was worth a try.
Han Bi’s smile tonight was elegant and generous. There was no sarcasm or bitterness. She was very graceful during dinner, and her words were polite and appropriate. It was as if she had forgotten all the unpleasant things that had happened between her and Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan had been married to Ye Feimo for a long time, and Han Bi knew this. When she saw how Han Bi was able to face her so calmly, looking noble and elegant with no hostility, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but think that she must have moved on from her past with Ye Feimo.
Fang Liucheng said, "Wen Nuan, what do you think? This is a very rare opportunity, and I sincerely invite you to join us."
Gu Rui and Han Bi were talking about something. Wen Nuan thought for a moment. "Brother Liucheng, I’ll talk to Sister Xiaojing about it later. She’ll handle all the contract details with you."
Her words implied that she had agreed to the film. Han Bi smiled faintly and raised her wine glass. "Then I wish us a happy collaboration, Miss Wen."
Wen Nuan picked up the wine glass beside her, and just as a formality, she touched her glass to Han Bi’s. She was feeling a little unwell and got up to go to the restroom. Fang Liucheng saw her swaying and was worried, so he helped her out.
In the private room, only Gu Rui and Han Bi were left.
"Wen Nuan, are you not feeling well? If not, I can take you home," Fang Liucheng said. Wen Nuan rubbed her temples and leaned against the wall to rest. She really was not feeling well. She had felt this way since she left the golf course. Her head felt even heavier now.
Fang Liucheng wiped the sweat from her forehead. Wen Nuan’s face was sometimes pale and sometimes flushed. It wasn’t normal. After resting for a while, Wen Nuan’s mind became a little clearer. "I’ll go wash my face first."
She had a bad feeling that something was about to happen and that she was powerless to stop it. Because of this thought, her fear grew and grew, almost consuming her.
She took a dry towel from her bag, soaked it in cold water, and put it on her face. She wasn’t wearing makeup today since she had been playing sports, so she wasn’t afraid of it running. The cold water on her hot face made her feel a little better.
Just then, her phone rang. Wen Nuan smiled when she saw the screen. It was Ye Feimo. She answered, and his voice came through the phone. "Where are you? Are you coming back soon?"
"GK... East. I’m coming back soon," Wen Nuan said with a light chuckle. Her voice was very soft, and her breathing was a little heavy because she was so unwell. Ye Feimo frowned and paused. "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, I’m just a little hot," Wen Nuan said. She was about to say something else to Ye Feimo when Fang Liucheng’s voice cut in from outside. "Wen Nuan, are you done? What’s taking so long?"
Wen Nuan said in a hurry, "I have to go. I’ll be home soon."
She hung up, wiped her face, and threw the towel in the trash can. Fang Liucheng was waiting for her outside. "You’re not feeling well. I’ll take you home first."
Wen Nuan nodded. They went back into the private room. Gu Rui and Han Bi were chatting. Gu Rui said he had another business deal to discuss with Fang Liucheng, so it would take a little longer. Han Bi and Wen Nuan sat on the side and waited. Han Bi gave her a drink. Wen Nuan said thank you, took a sip, and put it down. Her head felt even heavier. Han Bi saw that she was unwell and smiled faintly. "Why don’t I take her upstairs to rest? You two can come up after you’re done talking."
Wen Nuan shook her head and took out her phone to call Ye Feimo. Her hand slipped, and the phone fell to the floor. Han Bi picked up the phone and, without a word, turned it off. Han Bi helped Wen Nuan up. "I’ll go upstairs with her to get some coffee and wait for you two. I have something to say to her. Mr. Fang, you can come up later."
Fang Liucheng was at a critical point in his conversation with Gu Rui and nodded. "The cafe upstairs?"
"Yes!" Han Bi said with a smile, helping Wen Nuan out and taking her upstairs.

Wen Nuan felt an unbearable headache. Her whole body felt tired, as if she had been run over by a car. She was so tired and sleepy. She mumbled Ye Feimo’s name and snuggled into the blankets. The room was a little cold, so she couldn’t help but hug the person next to her. With her eyes closed, she asked, "Feimo, what time is it?"
After a long while, no one answered her. Wen Nuan felt that something was wrong. She slowly opened her eyes. The room was dark. It took her a while to get used to the lighting. She suddenly realized that something was very wrong. This was not her home.
This was a hotel.
And the scene in the hotel looked familiar, as if she had been here before.
Wen Nuan was shocked. She looked at the person next to her and gasped. "Brother Liucheng??"
She was so shocked that she sat up from the bed in a hurry, only to realize that she was naked. Wen Nuan’s mind went blank. Just then, there was a commotion at the door. Wen Nuan heard a lot of footsteps, and then she saw the people she least wanted to see right now.
---
Everything that happened next was a blur. Wen Nuan felt like a puppet. She didn’t understand why things had turned out this way. Ye Feimo looked at her with a blank expression. If he had been angry, surprised, or even hit her, she might have felt a little better. But he didn’t do anything. He just stared at her.
The white sheets couldn’t hide the hickeys on her neck. It was clear what had happened since the two naked people had spent the night in the bed. Wen Nuan stared at Ye Feimo in a daze, as if she had been struck by lightning.
She wanted to say something, but all the words were caught in her throat. Her reddened eyes were now empty.
Cai Xiaojing was stunned, but she quickly went over to her, pulling the blanket to cover her body. Fang Liucheng was fast asleep, unaware of what was happening. Cai Xiaojing’s lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Ye Feimo, Han Bi, Cai Xiaojing, and Lin Ning. It was only the four of them. Their eyes felt like they were slowly torturing her.
Han Bi smiled faintly.
Ye Feimo’s face was pale. He stared at Wen Nuan’s eyes. His gaze was emotionless and cold. He looked at her as if she were a stranger, not his wife at all.
Wen Nuan’s back felt cold. Her reddened eyes were filled with tears, but they didn’t fall. She had so many grievances she wanted to talk about, but she didn’t know where to begin. She truly couldn’t remember anything.
