The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife
Chapter 315: A Husband’s Delight
CHAPTER 315: A HUSBAND’S DELIGHT
Ye Feimo tore off the tag and put the watch on. It fit perfectly and felt great. When he was in Rome and went shopping with Wen Nuan, they had passed the Vacheron Constantin store. He had actually considered buying this watch, which he had seen in a magazine.
However, he was afraid that Wen Nuan would overthink it, so he decided not to buy it.
He didn’t expect her to buy it for him. The fact that they had the same taste was something Ye Feimo found very rare, as rare as Mars colliding with Earth. After all, Wen Nuan would never agree with his spending habits.
It was just like his mom and dad; their spending habits were also on completely different levels.
So, Ye Feimo had a question.
"Did you read the price wrong? Did you miss two zeros?" Ye Feimo made a reasonable and logical guess based on his understanding of Wen Nuan. She had even said "wedding gift" through gritted teeth.
"Two zeros?" Wen Nuan was angry. "Does he have to be so dramatic?"
Ye Feimo misunderstood and affectionately stroked her face. "So you didn’t read the price wrong after all. I’m so relieved. That’s so good of you. Why did you suddenly decide to buy such an expensive watch?"
Second Young Master Ye was beaming.
A feeling of happiness welled up in him. Cai Xiaojing’s understanding of him was spot on. He believed that the more expensive the item Wen Nuan was willing to buy for him, the more she loved him. This was a very accurate assessment.
Because that’s what Second Young Master Ye believed.
She only had so much money, and she spent it all on a watch for him. What else could that mean but love?
The more he thought about it, the happier he was. Ye Feimo’s eyes were almost squinting into a line.
Wen Nuan suddenly felt guilty. Should she tell the truth? If she did, Ye Feimo would definitely be unhappy, but she didn’t want to lie to him. She had indeed read the price wrong, but it wasn’t as exaggerated as he thought.
A watch was just a decoration and didn’t need to be too expensive. It was an inanimate object. Even as a gift between a husband and wife, a 230,000-dollar watch was excellent.
It wasn’t that she was unwilling to spend money on Ye Feimo. If it were something good for his stomach, she would be willing to spend all her savings on it. But a watch was just a luxury item, not a necessity. A few hundred thousand dollars for a good watch was more than enough. Most luxury watches were around that price.
A several-million-dollar watch was too much. She would rather spend that money to travel the world with Ye Feimo for a year than on a watch. No matter how rich you were, you had to spend money wisely.
"Feimo, do you like it?" Wen Nuan asked with a very sweet smile.
Ye Feimo nodded. "I love it. This is the same watch I saw in a magazine. If you hadn’t bought it, I might have had someone send it to me in a few days. It’s rare for me to like a watch so much, and since it’s from you, it means so much more."
Wen Nuan felt even more guilty, and she couldn’t bring herself to tell the truth.
Cai Xiaojing’s words flashed through her mind, and Wen Nuan thought, "Maybe it’s better to just let Feimo think this."
"Feimo, don’t get angry when I tell you this, but I really did read the price wrong. I missed a zero," Wen Nuan decided to come clean. She couldn’t lie to him. She had made a mistake.
Ye Feimo wasn’t angry. He just smiled at her. Wen Nuan was afraid he would be angry, but when she saw him smiling, she was confused. "He’s not angry?"
"I could tell from your hesitant expression that you bought it because you misunderstood something," Ye Feimo said. Wen Nuan was an actress, so she should be good at hiding her emotions. Her acting skills were well known.
However, she was completely open in front of the people she trusted.
The girl couldn’t lie, or at least he could see right through her.
"You’re not mad?"
"No, I’m not. 230,000 and 2.3 million are the same to me. It’s the most expensive luxury item you’ve ever bought," he said. He wasn’t the kind of person who would get angry just because Wen Nuan didn’t buy an expensive watch.
She wouldn’t even spend 100,000 on a watch for herself, but she was willing to spend more than double that on him. That was already very special.
Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and was happy again. She held his hand and admired the watch. "I have such good taste. It’s so beautiful, and it looks good on you."
"When did you buy it?"
"I bought it this afternoon," Wen Nuan said. Ye Feimo ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "From now on, when you see something you like, use my card."
"No, I have my own card. Why would I use yours?"
"Wen Nuan, you’re my wife now," Ye Feimo said seriously. "It’s your right to spend my money. Why not? Is what’s mine not yours?"
"It’s not the same," Wen Nuan said, not knowing how to explain. "When I buy a gift for you, of course, I have to use my own money. Otherwise, it would be like giving away someone else’s flowers to show your affection."
"Then from now on, for the things you like, use mine. For clothes, jewelry, and daily necessities, use mine," Ye Feimo said. He was very firm about this. "What’s the point of marrying a wife if she doesn’t spend your money?"
Wen Nuan thought for a moment. "Is this the benefit of being a sugar baby?"
Ye Feimo laughed and hugged her. "I like the feeling of someone helping me spend my money."
This way, it would feel like they were one and the same, with nothing to separate them. This would give him a sense of happiness. Otherwise, there would be no difference between being married and not being married.
"What if I max out your card?"
"Don’t worry. If you max it out, it means the bank has no money, not that my card has no money," Ye Feimo said with a laugh, looking like he had all the money in the world. Wen Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she nodded heavily.
"Spending his money means she could save hers as her own personal savings. That’s not a bad idea."
"How was the audition today?" Ye Feimo asked with a smile while drinking his milk tea. The audition wasn’t that important anyway. It was just a publicity stunt for *Liang Hongyu* and a way to promote Wen Nuan.
Lin Ning probably wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
"The audition today was a little interesting. I acted with Han Bi," Wen Nuan said with a smile. Seeing that Ye Feimo didn’t have any special reaction, Wen Nuan told him all about what happened today. Ye Feimo shook his head. Lin Ning really had a twisted sense of humor.
"How did you feel acting with her?"
"She’s very good. I don’t have her level of skill yet. It will probably take me several years to get to where she is," Wen Nuan said honestly. Ye Feimo ruffled her hair. "Take your time. Everyone starts from being unknown."
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded. His encouragement was very helpful.
"Alright, speaking of that, let’s go shopping at the nearby mall later. It’s my parents’ wedding anniversary soon, and the son-in-law should prepare a gift," Wen Nuan said, winking playfully.
"When is it?"
"Next Thursday."
"Okay, let’s go pick out a gift," Ye Feimo said, standing up and putting on his coat.
"Are you skipping work?"
"I’m the boss. I can leave whenever I want."
Wen Nuan, "..."
