CHAPTER 340: A QUESTION OF THE PAST

Wen Nuan was stunned.

The trophy in her arms was so cold it almost froze her skin. It was heavy, as if it were pressing on her heart. For a moment, her mind went blank. The word "child" was like a curse, clutching her throat.

A child of Ye Feimo and Han Bi...

How old was he?

Wen Nuan thought of Cheng Anya. She and Chairman Ye were separated for seven years, and then she came back with a genius little boy. Han Bi and Ye Feimo had also been separated for seven years. Could it be that Han Bi also came back with a child, following in the father’s footsteps?

Wen Nuan’s face was terrifyingly pale. Han Bi smiled faintly and turned to leave.

"Stop right there!" Wen Nuan heard her own cold voice. Han Bi turned to the side. The two of them were two meters apart, their eyes locked in a silent clash. A hint of gunpowder filled the air. Han Bi looked down at Wen Nuan, with a look of vengeful satisfaction.

She had finally torn off the mask from Wen Nuan’s face. She always smiled so calmly. Now you also have a day when your mask is ripped off.

Wen Nuan, you’re not as kind and easy to bully as people think.

Reporters were already watching them, taking pictures. Wen Nuan forced a stiff smile. "Explain yourself!"

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Han Bi sneered. The reporters were getting closer. Cai Xiaojing was faster than anyone. She quickly walked over to Wen Nuan, held her arm, and said in a low voice, "Wen Nuan, are you crazy?"

Wen Nuan looked at Han Bi with cold eyes, doing her best to suppress her anger. Han Bi smiled faintly. A reporter asked, "Han Bi, Wen Nuan, are you two arguing?"

Han Bi laughed. "How could Wen Nuan and I be arguing? We were just deciding where to go celebrate her big win tonight. We had a little disagreement, that’s all."

Wen Nuan stood there stiffly. Cai Xiaojing pulled her. Wen Nuan forced a stiff smile. It was the first time she had ever hated being a celebrity. In public, no matter how angry you were, you had to maintain your composure and keep smiling.

It was the height of hypocrisy, but this was the path she had chosen, and she had to bear it.

Han Bi left with a smile. Her agent, assistant, bodyguards, and a large group of people left with her. Wen Nuan was pulled to the side by Cai Xiaojing. Ye Feimo, who had seen the whole scene from a distance, no longer cared about their secret marriage and rushed over. Wen Nuan gave him a hard look and walked quickly away without waiting for him. Cai Xiaojing hurried after her. It was the first time she had seen Wen Nuan so out of control.

Ye Feimo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and he followed them out.

Chen Xueru looked at Wen Nuan’s retreating back with concern. "What did Han Bi say to her? Why is she so angry?"

"What could Han Bi say to Wen Nuan? It’s probably about her and Second Young Master Ye’s past, or that Wen Nuan got this award because of connections. What else could it be?" Tang Shuwen said nonchalantly.

Chen Xueru shook her head. "No, if it was just that, Wen Nuan wouldn’t be this angry."

"They have little fights all the time. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine," Tang Shuwen said, leading Chen Xueru out as well.

In the parking lot.

Wen Nuan got into Cai Xiaojing’s car and immediately said, "Drive!"

"Nuan..."

"Drive!" Wen Nuan said sharply, throwing the trophies into the back seat. Cai Xiaojing had no choice but to drive. Ye Feimo happened to arrive at the parking lot and stood in front of the car with his arms spread out. Cai Xiaojing slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped an inch away from Ye Feimo. Wen Nuan, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, bounced forward and almost hit her head. She held her forehead and looked at Ye Feimo in front of her with anger. Through the glass, she saw his eyes were cold and distant, with a hint of anger and danger, like a ghost.

Cai Xiaojing was startled. Ye Feimo had just come from the elevator. If she hadn’t seen him...

"Wen Nuan, whatever you and Mr. Ye have to say, say it at home. Don’t cause a scene here," Cai Xiaojing said. Ye Feimo walked over, opened the car door, and commanded coldly, "Get out of the car!"

Wen Nuan stayed put. Ye Feimo sneered coldly. "Do you want to announce our relationship to the world?"

People were coming and going in the parking lot. They were some of the first people to come down. The interviews were still going on, so more people would be coming down soon. Wen Nuan gritted her teeth and got out of the car.

As Ye Feimo was about to leave, Cai Xiaojing handed him the trophies.

Wen Nuan got into Ye Feimo’s car. The two of them didn’t say a word to each other. Wen Nuan looked out the window. Her anger had gradually subsided. When Han Bi talked about a child with that attitude, she was indeed very angry. Her anger had made her impulsive.

She was usually a calm person who got more composed when faced with danger and pressure, but when it came to Ye Feimo, she always lost control. She just couldn’t change that.

She was feeling insecure.

Perhaps her happiness felt too unreal, and she was always afraid of losing it.

Han Bi’s provocation had made her sensitive. *A child.* If they really had a child, Feimo would have told her. So it was possible that Han Bi had deliberately provoked her, wanting to make her lose her composure in public.

It wasn’t true.

It had to be a lie.

Her anger slowly died down, but her heart was in turmoil. She didn’t want to say a word to Ye Feimo. She turned her head to look out the window. At a traffic light, Ye Feimo stopped the car and turned his head to look at her. Wen Nuan’s face was hidden in the darkness, and her expression was unclear.

Ye Feimo guessed what Han Bi had said to Wen Nuan. It was probably about the dress. What else could Han Bi have said to make Wen Nuan so angry? It was a good thing for his wife to be angry and jealous. It showed that she cared about him.

However, he didn’t want Wen Nuan to be so unhappy. He liked to see her smiling and happy.

They went home. Ye Feimo put her trophies on the shelf in her study. Wen Nuan had already changed into casual clothes and let her hair down. Then she went to the living room to get some water.

He stood in the living room and watched her. His eyes were cold. Wen Nuan treated him as if he were invisible. It was as if he wasn’t even there. She drank the water, pretending not to see him, and walked past him into the bedroom. Ye Feimo gritted his teeth. *This brat is always pretending to be cold when she’s angry...*

"What are you so angry about?" Ye Feimo followed her into the room. Wen Nuan looked up at him, sat on the sofa, and didn’t say a word. Ye Feimo grabbed her hand. Wen Nuan tried to pull away. He held on tightly. She looked at him with anger. Ye Feimo said softly, "I designed that dress. A long time ago, Han Bi received an invitation to the Golden Chapter Awards. She was very happy. At that time, she didn’t have much savings because she was saving up to buy me a gift. She was worried about her dress for the Golden Chapter Awards, so I designed this dress for her. I was going to have it made at Anning and send it to her, but who knew... The design was left with her. I didn’t expect her to keep it and wear it tonight."

She looked at Ye Feimo with a cold expression. It was just a dress. She had already guessed that. There was nothing to be angry about. Wen Nuan looked at Ye Feimo and asked in a low voice, "Ye Feimo, do you and Han Bi have a child?"

Ye Feimo’s face changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes...
