Chapter 432: What Was It All For?
Wen Nuan pretended not to understand what Cheng Anya was talking about. Cheng Anya didn’t push it. Wen Nuan was a kind person at heart, and Cheng Anya felt conflicted herself, so she didn’t interfere in Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo’s relationship.
"Bai Ye’s medical skills are unparalleled. Other doctors have a 50% chance of curing Feimo, but he definitely has a 100% chance," Cheng Anya said, trying to encourage Wen Nuan and herself. It was important to stay positive.
Wen Nuan smiled and asked, "Mom, are you really that confident?"
"Yes!"
Wen Nuan chuckled softly. "If you were really that confident, why are you so afraid?"
Cheng Anya was stunned. She hadn’t expected Wen Nuan to see through her fear.
She was afraid.
She said she was 100% sure, but in reality, that wasn’t true. She couldn’t guarantee that Bai Ye would be able to cure Feimo. No one could.
She thought she had hidden it well, but Wen Nuan had seen right through her.
"I’m afraid, but not because I’m afraid Feimo won’t be cured. I’m afraid..." Cheng Anya looked at Wen Nuan and trailed off. She didn’t say anything else. "Never mind. I won’t say anymore. Just spend more time with him."
Wen Nuan lowered her head, not answering or refusing.
His condition was now under control. Bai Ye and Liu Jiaming had a conference call and managed to stop the cancer cells from spreading for the time being. Bai Ye was preparing a new medicine for Ye Feimo, which would take more than ten days, so he couldn’t come to A City right away.
As long as he ate well and took good care of himself, Ye Feimo would be fine for a few months.
Wen Nuan came to the hospital every day. Ye Feimo didn’t have many friends. Only Lin Ning and Tang Shuwen and a few others came to see him almost every day. Everyone was concerned about Ye Feimo’s health.
Chen Xueru saw that Wen Nuan had been very quiet these past few days and couldn’t help but ask, "Are you afraid his condition will get worse?"
Wen Nuan shook her head and just smiled.
She didn’t talk much no matter what Chen Xueru asked. In the end, Chen Xueru didn’t say anything else.
Ye Feimo didn’t ask Wen Nuan anything either. As long as she was with him, he was content.
Her mother and father also came to see Ye Feimo every now and then. They were much more enthusiastic than Wen Nuan. He didn’t like being treated like a patient. Even though he looked haggard, his elders and friends understood this and just treated him as if he had a normal illness, afraid of making him unhappy.
Ye Feimo was truly afraid of Cheng Anya’s cooking, so while he was in the hospital, Wen Nuan was the one who made him porridge. Ye Feimo felt like he was back in the good old days of being fed by Wen Nuan. He was living well. Wen Nuan could make him whatever he wanted to eat.
So while he was in the hospital, his face got rosy and he was living it up.
Not only did she make him healthy and delicious food, but she also fed him herself. Every day, Ye Feimo looked forward to lunch and dinner. Their life was so sweet.
It was as if the tension between them no longer existed.
He knew that the tension was still there, but because of his illness, Wen Nuan had no time to worry about it. He was even willing to be sick for a little longer so that Wen Nuan would stay with him for a little longer.
"Wen Nuan, I’m getting discharged the day after tomorrow. Will you come home?" Ye Feimo asked tentatively. He was counting on Wen Nuan’s love for him. He was betting on her unwillingness to be cruel, even if it meant risking his health.
The surgery was scheduled for more than ten days later. He didn’t want to keep staying in the hospital. Liu Jiaming approved his discharge for the day after tomorrow.
Wen Nuan, who was cutting an apple for him, paused. "I want to stay with my mom. You can go home. Mom will take good care of you."
Ye Feimo lowered his head, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.
Wen Nuan still didn’t want to come back.
Cheng Anya didn’t dare to let him live alone in Mingcheng. Ye Feimo couldn’t win against her, so he had to go back to his parents’ house. After his health stabilized, he went back to work as usual. All the speculation from the outside world died down.
Wen Nuan also took on some work recently. She was appearing on TV to promote *Liang Hongyu*.
The movie was scheduled to be released in December, and there was already a lot of publicity online. The momentum was huge. Her condition wasn’t great, so Cai Xiaojing didn’t accept any acting jobs for her, just some events and a few commercials.
Ye Feimo hadn’t expected Wen Nuan to ask him to dinner.
He had asked her a few times after he was discharged, but Wen Nuan had made excuses and didn’t want to have dinner alone with him. Ye Feimo was genuinely surprised that she had asked him out.
She asked him to meet at a restaurant they often went to.
It was not far from Anning Group.
After attending an event that day, Wen Nuan waited for Ye Feimo at Anning so they could go to dinner together.
To avoid any interruptions, Ye Feimo had reserved the entire restaurant. When they arrived, there were only waiters and a pianist. Ye Feimo requested a jazz-style piano piece. The restaurant was filled with beautiful piano music, and everything was wonderful.
"I’ve always wanted to ask you, why do you like to eat at this restaurant?" Ye Feimo asked. They often went to this restaurant after they got together.
Wen Nuan said calmly, "I like the food here."
It was a good mix of light and rich flavors.
Ye Feimo didn’t ask anymore. Wen Nuan was quieter than usual tonight. She kept her head down and only answered when he asked her something. Most of the time, she was lost in her own world, as if she had separated herself from the rest of the world. No one could enter.
This feeling of a vacuum made Ye Feimo feel like something bad was about to happen.
The food was served quickly, and they ate in silence.
Wen Nuan occasionally asked about Ye Feimo’s health. Ye Feimo just said he was fine. She would nod and not say anything else. He frowned, looking at her. He felt that she was acting strange, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
She didn’t have much of an appetite, and she didn’t eat much. Ye Feimo was trying to figure out what was on her mind, so he didn’t eat much either. After the main courses were cleared, the waiter brought out dessert and coffee. Wen Nuan drank her coffee quietly.
"Do you have something you want to tell me?" Ye Feimo asked. He was used to being in control, but when it came to Wen Nuan, he was always so passive. It was because she was the person he loved most, and he couldn’t force her.
Wen Nuan looked at him deeply. The restaurant was dimly lit, and the mirror wall next to them reflected a soft light, flickering across her face, adding a touch of sadness he couldn’t explain.
He felt a sense of dread. He instinctively wanted to leave. He regretted asking that question.
He had a feeling that whatever was coming next was something he wouldn’t be able to accept.
Wen Nuan lowered her head, slowly took a document out of her bag, and handed it to Ye Feimo. She had a faint smile on her face, trying to maintain her composure. Ye Feimo frowned, took the document, and was struck as if by lightning.
It was a divorce agreement.
