CHAPTER 380: UNSPOKEN AGREEMENT

Lin Ning’s words caused a huge ripple in Wen Nuan’s heart. He was telling her the truth about the difficult situation she was in. It was as if she was in a dead end, but suddenly someone broke through the wall, and there was a path forward again.

"If I stay in the entertainment industry, Feimo will become more and more unhappy," Wen Nuan said with a bitter tone. "He’s already made it clear that he doesn’t like the entertainment industry, he doesn’t like actors, and he doesn’t support me in this career. Lately, he’s been very unhappy. I don’t want it to be like this. It’s not that I need him to approve of my career, but if he doesn’t, he’ll be sad, and I don’t want him to be unhappy. I don’t know what to do, so I never bring up the topic, fearing a fight. I’ve thought about leaving the entertainment industry, but I don’t want to. I’m only 20, and my career is just starting. If I leave now, what would I do? Stay by Feimo’s side and be a good wife? If I do that, I’ll be unhappy, and if I’m unhappy, he’ll be unhappy, too. We’ll grow farther apart, and it’ll be the same result. Do you all think I should leave the entertainment industry?"

Lin Ning was the first to shake his head. "If I thought you should leave, I wouldn’t be telling you all this. Wen Nuan, you’re a talented and promising artist. In time, you’ll surpass your teachers. So, you have to get through this. As for the problems between you and Feimo, I think it’s not easy for a woman to balance a family and a career, but it’s not impossible. It requires your wisdom. You know what Ye Feimo is bothered by, but you also know how to make him happy, don’t you?"

Little White Mo also said with a laugh, "That’s right, little sister-in-law. My cousin is actually very tolerant of you. If this was in the past, I wouldn’t have believed it. So you have to be tolerant of him, too. You know best how to make him happy. As long as he’s happy, everything will be fine. It’s like my dad doesn’t like my mom traveling everywhere, and he doesn’t like my mom leaving for a few months sometimes... Wait, those two are extreme examples. This isn’t a good example."

Little White Mo seriously thought about a good example but found that there were very few he could use. For example, Rong Yan was a biologist and was very busy, but she was able to balance her career and family, and Chu Li was very supportive of her work. Most of the time, she served the First Terror Organization.

Cheng Anya worked by Ye Sanshao’s side, and they were inseparable, so there were no problems. Ye Wei and Shi Yi were people who didn’t care about anything before or after they were married, especially Ye Wei, but the two Mo brothers doted on them, so there were no problems.

"Don’t use your family as examples. You’re giving me a headache," Lin Ning said, glancing at Little White Mo and then to Wen Nuan. "I’ve told you everything I had to. Think about it carefully."

As soon as Lin Ning finished, Cai Xiaojing opened the car door. Lin Ning had to get back to work, so he got off the car. He also called Little White Mo over. Cai Xiaojing got on. "Did he scold you again?"

"No!" Wen Nuan said with a smile. "Director Lin isn’t really that mean, Sister Xiaojing. Don’t worry too much."

"How can I not worry? Look at how crazy your performance was today. I thought that since you and Little White Mo have been close for so long, you would have some chemistry on set. Why couldn’t you get into character?" Cai Xiaojing asked.

"It’s fine!" Wen Nuan said with a light laugh, resting against the window. Cai Xiaojing was also smart enough not to bother her anymore. Wen Nuan thought to herself, "If I lose my job for the sake of my career, would it be worth it?"

Wen Nuan smiled and stared blankly at the peach blossom forest.

An hour later, they re-filmed the kissing scene.

Little White Mo was smiling charmingly. Chen Xueru was on a break and was watching Little White Mo and Wen Nuan film. Wen Nuan made two mistakes, but Lin Ning was surprisingly not scolding her. Chen Xiuli whispered to Li Yuanyuan, "Director Lin is so nice to her. He didn’t even scold her."

"She has special treatment. We can’t compare ourselves to her."

---

On the third take, Little White Mo told Wen Nuan his gestures and how much pressure to apply. When they took it again, everyone could tell that something was different. Wen Nuan’s eyes were perfect. They weren’t floating around like before. The shyness was natural and fresh, as if she was a girl happily in love. There was no hint of her acting.

Little White Mo’s acting was, of course, impeccable. Lin Ning specifically focused the camera on Wen Nuan and gave her a close-up on her face. When Little White Mo’s lips touched Wen Nuan’s lips, her eyebrows were shy, and she closed her eyes slightly. She was thinking of the time she and Ye Feimo kissed by the river.

---

After a long time, the director didn’t say "cut." Little White Mo moved back. Lin Ning clapped his hands. "Okay, it’s a wrap. You two change your clothes. We’re doing another kissing scene."

Wen Nuan was shocked. Little White Mo said into her ear, "Beautiful Lin wants to film all the intimate scenes on the first day so that if my cousin comes to visit, we won’t get caught and killed."

Wen Nuan was speechless.

No wonder they had to film a kissing scene on the first day. It was because Lin Ning was afraid of Ye Feimo visiting the set.

When she was changing her clothes, Cai Xiaojing came in and asked, "Are you okay?"

Wen Nuan smiled and shook her head. "I’m fine."

She was surprised and glad that Little White Mo was the one to help her with this. If it were someone else, she might have felt more uncomfortable, but she knew Little White Mo had no feelings for her, so they were in a clear position.

Cai Xiaojing raised an eyebrow. After that, Wen Nuan and Little White Mo finished all four kissing scenes. After they finished one, the next few scenes went very smoothly. Even the kiss before Han Shizhong died was very emotional and tragic.

After getting stuck for a while, Wen Nuan’s performance was great. Little White Mo was just a man who would jokingly take advantage of you. He knew who he could flirt with and who he couldn’t.

After the four kissing scenes, they were done for the day.

Little White Mo drove Wen Nuan to Anning because they finished early. Ye Feimo was still at work. Wen Nuan went straight to Anning. Cai Xiaojing also came with her. Wen Nuan was in Cai Xiaojing’s office, memorizing her lines. Director Lin was really afraid of Ye Feimo visiting the set. After they finished the kissing scenes, the next day would be a bed scene. But Wen Nuan no longer had that psychological barrier. A bed scene was relatively easier for her to accept than a kissing scene because there would be good protection. At most, her shoulders and back would be exposed. She had a body double for a bed scene before, so she had some experience. And after getting through this one, it was easier for her to accept it psychologically, and she didn’t mind it as much.

When it was almost time to get off work, Wen Nuan called Ye Feimo. He was about to leave. Wen Nuan went up to the 32nd floor to go downstairs with him.
