CHAPTER 374: LATE-NIGHT TALKS

The whole group ate, played games, and sang until 11 p.m. before everyone left. The men had a lot to drink, but thankfully, the women could all drive, so Ye Feimo didn’t have to drive anyone home. Wen Nuan and Chen Xueru had already cleaned up the kitchen and the dining room. There was nothing much to tidy up, so Wen Nuan just mopped the floor and took out the trash. Ye Feimo helped her, and they finished cleaning the apartment around midnight.

After taking a shower, Wen Nuan dried her hair and wanted to go to bed early. Tomorrow was the first day of filming for *Liang Hongyu*, and she had to be prepared. Her second movie was officially starting. Her TV drama’s ratings were soaring every day and had already achieved great success, and now she was about to start filming her second major movie. Wen Nuan felt that everything was going too smoothly.

Ye Feimo had been following a detective novel that was being serialized in a magazine. It was extremely popular. He had already bought the film and television rights to the first book. The author was a newcomer, so the cost would be low, and it had great potential for adaptation. The romance was a little unique—a complicated love story between two men over a span of ten years.

He was very interested in buying the rights and giving it to another one of Anning’s star directors. This director’s style was completely different from Lin Ning’s. He was an art film director who won awards every year, both at home and abroad. Most importantly, the director was gay and would likely have a deeper understanding of this type of film.

Wen Nuan saw that he was interested in the book, and she was, too, but today she was more interested in something else. "Feimo, is there something between Little White Mo and his brother?"

She tried to find a word to express her confusion but couldn’t.

Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow and looked at her. He thought to himself that Wen Nuan’s observational skills were very impressive. She had figured it out. He knew she had sensed something was up when she said that Little White Mo’s girlfriends all looked like Mo Yao.

*She’s not a lawyer, but her observational skills are really strong.*

"What do you want to ask?"

"You know what I want to ask. Is Little White Mo in love with his brother?" Wen Nuan asked directly. Ye Feimo smiled and looked at her. Wen Nuan scratched her head awkwardly. "I was just guessing. I looked at his username from back then and then at the women he’s dated, and it seemed like there was a hint. Is it really true?"

"You guessed wrong," Ye Feimo said calmly. Wen Nuan was surprised. *I guessed wrong?* Ye Feimo closed the book. "It’s not Little White Mo who loves Mo Yao, it’s Mo Yao who loves Little White Mo."

"Oh..." Wen Nuan’s mouth hung open in shock. She had always seen Mo Yao as a cold and heartless person, even more so than Ye Feimo. She couldn’t believe he would be in love, and with his... cousin?

Ye Feimo lifted her chin to close her mouth. "Everyone knows that Mo Yao loves Little White Mo."

Wen Nuan was very surprised. "I thought Little White Mo loved Mo Yao. I got it wrong. I really didn’t expect that. What about Little White Mo? Does he not love Mo Yao?"

"If you ask Little White Mo, he probably wouldn’t even know." To be precise, Little White Mo was trying to make Mo Yao give up. For all these years, he never went without a girlfriend. He dated one after another, just to show Mo Yao that he liked women, not men. He wanted to make Mo Yao give up, but who knew that after all these years, Mo Yao was still willing to wait.

Anyone who fell in love with Little White Mo, whether they were a man or a woman, was destined to have their heart broken.

Little White Mo was the most heartless person Ye Feimo had ever met. Mo Yao had done so much, and even a heart of stone would have melted, but Little White Mo pretended not to know and never took it seriously.

However, he couldn’t blame Little White Mo. It’s not wrong to love someone, and it’s not wrong to not love someone.

"Then does Little White Mo know that Mo Yao loves him?" Wen Nuan asked. This was a taboo. Their fathers were identical twins, so genetically, they were half-brothers. This was not something a normal person could accept, especially since one of them was straight.

"He knows." They grew up together. No matter how well Mo Yao hid it, he couldn’t hide it from them. When you live with someone every day and you love them deeply, no matter how much you try to suppress it, the way you look at them will give you away. What’s more, their parents were very smart and had seen it from a young age.

At first, everyone thought that Mo Yao was just confused or that he had a delusion because he had been around Little White Mo for so long. For a while, they even separated them, but it didn’t work, so they just let it go.

Little White Mo knew exactly what Mo Yao was feeling, but he just pretended not to know and never said anything. He dated one girlfriend after another. Mo Yao never said he loved him, and Little White Mo never directly said he didn’t love him. He just used his actions to tell Mo Yao in a more heartless way that he, Little White Mo, didn’t love him.

Wen Nuan rested her head on her hand. *Mo Yao hides his feelings so well.* At the very least, she only thought the two of them had a strange vibe. She originally thought that Little White Mo loved him, so he dated women who looked like Mo Yao to fill the void. Who knew that wasn’t the case at all?

"It’s so complicated."

"What does it have to do with you?" Ye Feimo said with a laugh. "They’re adults. They can handle it themselves."

"What if Little White Mo doesn’t return Mo Yao’s feelings? Won’t that be awkward for everyone? They live in the same castle. They see each other all the time. Is there no awkwardness at all?" Wen Nuan couldn’t understand this. "If I didn’t love someone, and I lived under the same roof as them, ate breakfast and dinner with them, and they were very good to me, I would feel guilty and awkward because I couldn’t repay them."

Ye Feimo scoffed. *Guilty? Awkward?* "Don’t use a normal person’s way of thinking to guess what’s on Little White Mo’s mind. It would be a miracle if he knew what guilt and awkwardness felt like. He’s as thick-skinned as a dead pig. It’s impossible for him to be awkward over something like this. Don’t even dream about it."

"So in that case, Mo Yao is so pitiful. He has to watch the person he loves and not be able to love them back. He must be suffering."

"Save your sympathy. Do you think everyone is like you? Someone who can’t even be in a proper relationship. Mo Yao has many ways to make Little White Mo unable to escape. My aunt and Wushuang have already made a bet that Little White Mo will never get married," Ye Feimo said with a faint smile.

Wen Nuan’s face was covered in sweat. *What a pair of parents and sister.* They were truly something else.

"You have no sympathy. That kind of feeling must be terrible. Love isn’t a business transaction. It’s not about how many tricks you have up your sleeve or how much you scheme to get a return. If the person you love can’t return your feelings, and you have to see them every day, it must be very painful," Wen Nuan said with some emotion. She couldn’t help it. She was touched.

Mo Yao was so devoted. She couldn’t believe he could love Little White Mo for so long.
