CHAPTER 366: CONFLICTING FEELINGS

"With Little White Mo here, I think it’s going to be a fun time on set this time," Wen Nuan said. Everyone she liked was working together. She had worked with the crew before and had a good relationship with them. She really liked Ye Yan, Pei Jun, Chen Xueru, and Peng Shuyao, and she knew she would learn a lot from working with them. They were all very experienced, and acting opposite them would help her gain more knowledge on her acting career.

Ye Feimo smiled slightly. "As long as you’re happy."

"You don’t like that Little White Mo is in this movie, do you?" Wen Nuan asked after hesitating for a moment.

Ye Feimo frowned and looked at Wen Nuan. He smiled. "Why do you ask?"

"You just look a little unhappy."

"I wouldn’t be happy no matter who it was," Ye Feimo said calmly. A hint of darkness flashed in his deep, dark eyes. It seemed to take him a long time to say this. "I don’t like you acting."

When he said this, his tone was very normal, as cold and indifferent as usual. There was no emotion in it. But Wen Nuan felt a little scared. She remembered what Lin Ning had said to him a few months ago: If you want to be with Ye Feimo, you have to leave the entertainment industry.

That was the general idea. She had always known that Ye Feimo was prejudiced against artists.

She couldn’t blame Ye Feimo. He was the president of Anning International and had so many artists under him. His past relationships were so complicated. Many artists would do anything to achieve their goals, and they would often trade their bodies with him. He was in this industry, so even if they weren’t artists from Anning, anyone in the entertainment industry knew that Ye Feimo was the king of the entire industry. As long as there was an opportunity, men and women would trade with him. He was used to it, numb, and had long since become desensitized.

Because of Han Bi, he had never liked artists. After he took over Anning, he disliked them even more, and his prejudice grew deeper. Wen Nuan knew that Ye Feimo had been holding back his temper recently. He didn’t like her acting, her filming commercials, her attending events, her being in the public eye, her socializing, and especially her coming home late.

He didn’t like anything she did.

Simply put, he didn’t like or support her career.

He was tolerating her, but she didn’t know how far that tolerance would go.

Being an artist always came with some ambiguous rumors. She had been linked to Zhou Chengge, Chen Hang, and Fang Liucheng. Even after she was married, if she had dinner with a friend, it would be reported in the newspapers. If it was a man, they would write something outrageous, and it would be in the magazines.

He would be very unhappy when he saw these things. He was used to being cold, and he wouldn’t show it on his face. He would hold it all in. She knew he was unhappy, so she would make time to be with him and try to reduce unnecessary social events.

Even so, she still felt that Ye Feimo didn’t support her continuing in the entertainment industry.

But he also knew that she loved acting and that it was her hobby. So, on one hand, he disliked it, but on the other hand, he was conflicted and protected her, paving the way for her and promising that she could do whatever she wanted.

He was so conflicted, and so was she. She clearly loved acting and her career, but she also didn’t want to make Ye Feimo unhappy. Neither of them could find a way to solve this.

Ye Feimo held her hand as if nothing was wrong, his expression calm. "Wen Nuan, I was just saying. Don’t look so sad. I won’t stop you from doing what you love."

"But you don’t like it." Wen Nuan gave a faint smile. It wasn’t just dislike, it was disgust. This was the biggest conflict between her and Ye Feimo. They couldn’t get on the same page.

She was very busy during the day and didn’t have time to think about these things. When she got home, she was sometimes too tired and would fall asleep right away. Being an artist meant that her schedule was often turned upside down. Her life was very irregular. When her workload was heavy, her life was also very stressful, and she didn’t have time to pay attention to these things. But sometimes, when she saw Ye Feimo’s deep eyes, she would feel scared.

He was so disgusted by her career. Would he eventually become disgusted with her, too?

She usually didn’t dare to think about this question. When it popped up in the middle of the night, she would immediately push it away, not daring to think deeply. She was very conflicted about her career and her family.

Giving up her family was impossible.

Giving up her career was also impossible.

Having both might be possible, but it would require great wisdom. How to balance Ye Feimo’s disgust had always been a concern for Wen Nuan.

"Then would you give up this job for me?" Ye Feimo asked, his expression very serious, as if he were asking if she would marry him.

Wen Nuan was stunned. After a long time, she shook her head.

Ye Feimo had expected this and didn’t say anything more. "Then it’s fine. If you like it, then continue."

"Why can’t you change your perception of artists?" Wen Nuan asked. She had been holding this question in her heart for a long time. Han Bi was the cause, and after being in the industry more, she understood. But not everyone was like that. "I know the environment is bad now, and many girls need opportunities and will actively fight for them, using their bodies to get what they want. I also know that the entertainment industry is a mix of good and bad people, and those who stay in it for a long time will gradually lose themselves. Money and fame can corrupt a person’s original nature. Just like Han Bi, she was once a pure and happy girl. But Feimo, not every woman is like that. My teacher, Cheng Yu, also came up one step at a time. Sister Xueru also came up step by step. She survived all the ups and downs. Why do you have to generalize and judge everyone?"

Ye Feimo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, showing his displeasure. The two of them would occasionally have small arguments, but this was the first time they were arguing about their careers and ideals. She looked at his cold and heartless face and felt her heart turn cold.

Ye Feimo said, "Wen Nuan, Cheng Yu only made it because someone supported her. Without that, she wouldn’t have made it. The same goes for Chen Xueru back then. It was because of Gu Rui... when they started out, they all had people helping them behind the scenes, and you..."

He suddenly stopped and looked at Wen Nuan. Her expression had changed.

"Nuan, let’s not fight over this, okay?" Ye Feimo got up and held Wen Nuan’s hand. Her fingertips were as cold as ice. Ye Feimo suddenly regretted saying all of this to Wen Nuan. What was wrong with him?

He shouldn’t have said any of this.

Even if he didn’t like it, he would try his best to be tolerant of everything about her, including her career.

"So in your heart, I’m that kind of woman, too, aren’t I?"
