"Mr. Ye..." Wen Nuan called out softly, shattering the silence that Ye Feimo had created. The tenderness that had filled his eyes moments ago ebbed away bit by bit,
like the receding tide, replaced by an extreme coldness and ruthlessness. His gaze was so icy that it made people dare not look directly at it.
Ye Feimo slowly lowered his head and gently pressed his lips against hers. This time, his kiss was so tender that it was almost intoxicating, completely devoid of the previous roughness. Wen Nuan couldn't help but have an illusion that she was being cherished. However, this tenderness was fleeting. Soon, he gently pulled away from her lips.
Ye Feimo got up and sat on the carpet, leaning lazily against the sofa with his back. Wen Nuan was slightly startled.
Then, she quickly sat up and grabbed a bath towel, tightly wrapping it around her body.
At this moment, the atmosphere all around was as silent as death.
Ye Feimo closed his eyes, leaning against the sofa with a look of fatigue. There seemed to be an indelible gloom knitted between his brows, along with a faint... loneliness. In this quiet night, this sense of loneliness was particularly intense, as if he was a person abandoned by the world.
Wen Nuan couldn't help but chuckle to herself. He was born into a wealthy and prominent family, possessing talent,
good looks, and wealth. He had everything that ordinary men had, and even many things that most men dreamed of but couldn't obtain.
If it weren't for his unbearable and awful personality, he would be almost perfect. How could such a person be abandoned?
"Be my woman!" Ye Feimo repeated this sentence again.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked straight at Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan accidentally met his astonishingly bright eyes. She was so startled that in a flurry, she quickly turned her face away and lowered her head.
Wen Nuan felt a bit annoyed. She wondered to herself, who on earth was she a substitute for?
"I sell smiles, not my body." Wen Nuan said this with a smile on her face. It was really a freezing - cold joke. How could a "
Cinderella" like her expect a prince? Princes only existed in fairy tales. Even if she was a Cinderella, she was a Cinderella with backbone.
This incident happened last semester. At that time, she accompanied her senior sister to Huayun Entertainment for the audition of a spy - war drama. It was a big - budget production.
When the director first saw her, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
Then, he gave her a chance to audition for a minor role. The character only appeared for three minutes in the play and was a dance - hall girl in old Shanghai who made a living by selling smiles.
However, that audition director was simply a scoundrel. After the audition, he invited them to a hotel, claiming that he wanted to discuss the details of the role.
Wen Nuan was naive enough to believe his nonsense at that time and really went with her senior sister. But when they arrived at the hotel, she found that what awaited her was the unreasonable demand of sleeping with the investor.
The absurdity and filth of the entertainment industry far exceeded Wen Nuan's imagination. She never thought that one day she would also encounter unspoken rules.
That greasy - looking man even wanted to have a three - person affair. Wen Nuan was instantly filled with anger. She coldly threw out a sentence, "I sell smiles, not my body," and then slammed the door and left.
In the end, her senior sister got the role. After the movie was released, it received an excellent response. Her senior sister's acting career became much smoother, and now she has become a fairly well - known new actress.
Although she lost such an opportunity, she has never regretted it.
