Chapter 51: Little White Rabbit & Big Bad Wolf

While paying, Cheng Anya noticed that Wen Nuan was using Feimo’s card. She raised an eyebrow. This was unusual. Even if Feimo was reckless, he didn’t seem to give his card to women to use.

These two were living quite like a married couple.

Noticing Cheng Anya’s gaze, Wen Nuan looked at the card in her hand and suddenly felt as if she had been burned. In this short time, she had gotten along quite happily with Cheng Anya.

She didn’t want Cheng Anya to think she was a gold digger, but she didn’t know how to explain the card in her hand either.

She only used this card when coming to the supermarket; she wouldn’t use it anywhere else.

She didn’t have any money on her, so Ye Feimo had to pay for her daily expenses. She had originally planned to pay him back after she started earning money. Seeing Cheng Anya’s gaze sweep over the card, Wen Nuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Cheng Anya also sensed that her gaze had made Wen Nuan uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "Don’t misunderstand. Since you and Feimo are together, it’s only natural for him to pay for your daily expenses. I’m just surprised that he gave his card to a girl for the first time, perhaps."

"Is that so?" Wen Nuan scratched her head.

"It’s his good fortune that someone is spending his money for him," Cheng Anya said playfully. "Otherwise, earning money and not knowing who to spend it on is also a kind of sorrow. You should help him spend more."

Wen Nuan felt even more that this madam was very different from the rumors. Her temper was so good, not at all like the wealthy ladies portrayed in dramas.

Having bought a full eight large bags of groceries, even the two of them felt the weight. Cheng Anya offered Wen Nuan a ride back. On the way, she drove and asked, "Wen Nuan, who is your agent?"

"Cai Xiaojing." Mentioning Cai Xiaojing, Wen Nuan smiled happily. "She’s incredibly capable."

Cheng Anya glanced at Wen Nuan, finding it increasingly odd. "Wen Nuan, how long have you been with Anning?"

"About half a month."

Cheng Anya’s lips twitched slightly. "Haven’t filmed anything yet?"

"No, why?"

"Nothing, I was just asking casually," Cheng Anya said with a gentle smile, her eyes on the road ahead. She had been with Cai Xiaojing since joining Anning. It seemed Feimo intended to promote her.

"Wen Nuan, would you mind if I asked you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Was signing with Anning International and getting promoted a condition for you being with Feimo?" Cheng Anya asked directly, not needing to beat around the bush with a young girl like Wen Nuan.

"No, not at all!" Wen Nuan hurriedly shook her head. "It wasn’t like that. I don’t even know why I signed with Anning International. That day, Director Lin brought me to Anning International and had me sign a lot of documents. I only realized I had become an Anning International artist after I signed them."

"Lin Ning?"

"Yes."

"You know him?"

"Oh, I played a small stunt double role in the Lunar New Year film he directed this time," Wen Nuan said awkwardly, not daring to say it was a nude stunt double.

Cheng Anya nodded and didn’t ask further. They arrived at Mingcheng Apartment shortly after.

"Madam Ye, would you like to come up? He’s home."

"Not today, I wouldn’t want to disturb you two."

"No disturbance at all... it’s me who’s disturbing you," Wen Nuan said.

Cheng Anya smiled. "Can you carry all these things? Call him to come down."

"Forget it. He was just angry with me and stormed off. He’ll definitely give me a cold face later. I don’t want to," Wen Nuan said stubbornly. Cheng Anya smiled and called Ye Feimo, knowing Wen Nuan couldn’t carry so much alone.

Ye Feimo came down quickly, wearing simple off-white casual clothes. Seeing Wen Nuan with Cheng Anya, he was a little surprised. Cheng Anya chuckled. "You’re a grown man. Why did you let her go to the supermarket alone in the middle of the night?"

Wen Nuan hurriedly explained, "I wanted to go myself. It had nothing to do with him."

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing much, just finished some charity work with Wen Lan and thought I’d stop by on the way," Cheng Anya said. Ye Feimo wanted to explain his relationship with Wen Nuan, but Cheng Anya didn’t seem interested, waving her hand and leaving.

"Mom, drive carefully."

"I know, you two go back inside," Cheng Anya smiled at Wen Nuan and drove away.

As soon as Cheng Anya drove off, she made a call. After it connected, she said with some excitement, "Ah Chen, there’s some gossip about Feimo. Do you want to hear it?"

"Are you driving?"

"Yes."

"You’re so excited while driving. Don’t gossip about him, or I’ll see your gossip on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow."

Cheng Anya: "..."

Ye Feimo glanced at the bags on the ground and couldn’t help but blurt out, "Are you planning to buy the entire supermarket?"

"Can you not exaggerate so much?" Wen Nuan rolled her eyes, picked up a few of the lightest bags, and gave the rest to Ye Feimo. He glared at her through gritted teeth, picked up the bags, and followed her into the apartment.

"Your mom is so easy to get along with. It feels so comfortable being with her," Wen Nuan said with a smile. Ye Feimo glanced at her sideways. Since she felt comfortable, it seemed his mother liked Wen Nuan.

His mother had a unique way of dealing with people. Those she liked found her company pleasant and comfortable. Those she disliked felt like they were sitting on pins and needles around her. People who fell into neither category found her to be smooth and worldly.

"Little white rabbit."

"Big bad wolf," Wen Nuan retorted, turning her face away.

Ye Feimo’s bad mood unexpectedly improved a little.

Back home, Wen Nuan organized the refrigerator and started cooking. Ye Feimo looked at her in surprise. "Cooking again?"

"Packing lunch for tomorrow."

"Has Cai Xiaojing been mistreating you?"

"Who said that? She’s been very good to me."

Ye Feimo shook his head and went upstairs. Wen Nuan cooked rice, packed two lunch boxes, and also cooked a fish head soup for Ye Feimo to reheat and pack tomorrow. It was already past ten o’clock after she finished cooking.

Wen Nuan went upstairs to wash up. Ye Feimo was looking at reports. After Wen Nuan came out of the shower, Ye Feimo asked, "Cai Xiaojing said you went to audition for the ’Pure Lotus Princess’ drama today. How did it go?"

"Director Zhang said we’ll have the results in three days. Their company will probably release an announcement then," Wen Nuan said with a smile. "I think I performed well. The chances are quite high."

Ye Feimo looked up from the stack of reports and glanced at her sideways. He lazily put down the reports and said coldly, "The entertainment industry isn’t lacking in people who perform well. There are tons of them."

Wen Nuan’s confidence was slightly dampened by his words, and her smile dimmed a little. "I know, can’t you just say something to encourage me?"

"Will encouraging you get you the role?" Ye Feimo scoffed. Wen Nuan simply didn’t understand the rules of this industry. Oh well, he didn’t want her to know too much anyway, lest it tarnish her purity.

"This boss is really harsh," Wen Nuan grumbled. "But I’m very confident."

"This employee is also a real white rabbit."

"Oh right, when are we moving?" Wen Nuan asked.

Ye Feimo turned his head, saying irritably, "Sleep!"

Wen Nuan was speechless.

This man was being moody again. She clutched her pillow, wanting to throw it at him.

The next morning, she woke up twenty minutes earlier than Ye Feimo, went downstairs to heat up the fish head soup for him, packed it, and also prepared a hearty breakfast, changing his coffee to milk.

Ye Feimo pursed his lips, saying nothing, until she handed him a multi-layered lunch box.

"What’s this?"

"Bento. It has dishes, meat, soup. The lunch box has good insulation, so if it gets cold, you can just microwave it at the company. It’s better than takeout," Wen Nuan said with a smile, also taking her own.

Ye Feimo looked at her intently. "You went out late last night just to prepare this?"
