Chapter 439: What We Do For Love
After the divorce, Wen Nuan didn’t go back to the Mingcheng apartment to get her things. Her phone was ringing nonstop with calls from reporters. Without Cai Xiaojing to help her, she didn’t panic. She got a new SIM card. She blocked all calls from everyone except for a few people. She also didn’t answer any unknown numbers.
She was now a free agent. People from Huayun and Yaowei came to persuade her to join them.
Fang Liucheng had a very good relationship with the executives at Huayun. They even used him to try and persuade Wen Nuan, but he didn’t agree. He knew that Wen Nuan was planning to go abroad to study and was already in the process of getting the paperwork done.
He didn’t stop her.
However...
"Do you really want to give up your career?" Fang Liucheng asked.
Wen Nuan shook her head. "Who said I’m giving up my career? I’m just taking a break to improve myself and start over. My reputation isn’t very good in the country. It’s not too late to leave after people have forgotten about me. The public is fickle. If I disappear from the screen for a while, no one will remember me. By then, whether the news about me is good or bad, it won’t matter anymore."
Fang Liucheng agreed with Wen Nuan. But was it necessary to go so far away to America?
She was clearly trying to run away from Ye Feimo.
Fang Liucheng looked at her deeply. He knew that he and Wen Nuan were not meant to be, and he had completely moved on. He now saw her as a sister. Some things that happened just happened. You couldn’t pretend that they hadn’t.
If he didn’t set boundaries, he wouldn’t even be able to be her friend.
He just wanted Wen Nuan to be happy.
He didn’t care who she was with, as long as they could make her happy.
"I support any decision you make. Going to America to study is a good thing. It’s a fresh start. I know a few big Hollywood directors. I can recommend you to them." Fang Liucheng said sincerely. Even though Wen Nuan had only been in the entertainment industry for a year, she had built a strong network. Several big directors in the country thought highly of her. She was also very famous abroad because of a few commercials. A few Hollywood directors had also wanted to invite her to join them.
Wen Nuan wasn’t in a hurry. To be more precise, she didn’t like the idea of working in Hollywood. "Many big Hollywood movies rely on special effects and don’t care much about acting. Also, Asians in Hollywood are always cast as martial arts fighters, no matter who they are. I don’t think it’s for me. There’s no rush. I’ll take it slow. I need to rethink my future path."
Fang Liucheng nodded. It was Wen Nuan’s life, and she had to make her own choices.
"As long as you’re happy. It’s good to take a break for a while. What do your parents say?" Fang Liucheng asked.
Wen Nuan sighed. Ever since the divorce, her father had been very angry and hadn’t been talking to her. Her mother was also in a bad mood. On top of that, they found out that Wen Nuan had secretly applied to schools in America. They were even more confused by her actions.
Her parents’ confusion, Ye Feimo’s hatred and indifference, and her friends’ bewilderment were all suffocating Wen Nuan. But what could she do? She had made these choices herself, and she couldn’t blame anyone else.
"Don’t talk about it if it makes you sad. Everything takes time. It’ll be fine after a while. After all, you’re family," Fang Liucheng said, trying to comfort her. Wen Nuan nodded. She understood.
Ye Feimo was hospitalized again.
Wen Nuan was on the phone with Cai Xiaojing, talking about her future plans. Wen Nuan said she was applying for a visa and getting her paperwork ready to go to America to study. Cai Xiaojing accidentally let it slip that Ye Feimo’s condition had gotten worse and that he had been in the intensive care unit for a few days.
Wen Nuan felt a cold shiver run from her feet to her heart.
"Wen Nuan, are you really not going to care about him now that you’re divorced? He’s very sick this time. He’s been in the intensive care unit for a few days. Are you really... so heartless?" It was very difficult for Cai Xiaojing to say that.
Wen Nuan’s heart had long gone numb. She said calmly, "Xiaojing, my mom... Mrs. Ye is taking care of him, and there are so many good doctors. I’m sure he’ll be fine. I’m sorry, I have to go."
Cai Xiaojing didn’t expect her to hang up so quickly. Before she could say anything, there was a dial tone. Her face fell. Lin Ning, who was next to her, said, "Don’t call her again. If Wen Nuan wants to see him, she’ll go to the hospital. If she doesn’t, nothing you say will make her go. Just give up."
"I really don’t understand why they ended up like this," Cai Xiaojing said with concern. "Wen Nuan isn’t a cold and heartless person. Even if they’re divorced, Mr. Ye is someone she loved. How can she be so indifferent? It’s not normal. What exactly happened between them? Can Wen Nuan really not forgive him for the baby?"
She tried to think about it, but she couldn’t figure out why Wen Nuan was so heartless.
Lin Ning looked at her deeply. Cai Xiaojing was completely lost in her own world and couldn’t focus on work. The office was brightly lit, but Cai Xiaojing’s face was as white as a sheet. Just a while ago, they were all so happy and had said that they would be happy forever.
Now Ye Feimo and Wen Nuan were divorced, and all the rumors were about Wen Nuan.
But who remembered that at the Golden Statue Awards ceremony, a man had put everything on the line and, in front of everyone, gave an award to a woman? He was arrogant and domineering. He used all his power to overcome all obstacles, just to make her smile. "It’s unbelievable that people who loved each other so much can break up. No one knows what will happen next," Cai Xiaojing said softly, sighing deeply.
Lin Ning’s playful smile appeared on his face. "Cai, let’s go get married!"
Cai Xiaojing was stunned, and her face flushed. Who proposes like that? Did he even sound like he was proposing? She looked at him from the side, thinking he was joking, but she couldn’t find a single hint of a joke on his face.
Cai Xiaojing was suddenly a little afraid of this side of Lin Ning. She would rather he always be the carefree, arrogant, and wild guy he was. She didn’t want him to be serious.
When she thought about her original motive, Cai Xiaojing felt ashamed.
She had wanted to make Lin Ning fall in love with her and then dump him so he could feel what it was like to be dumped by a woman. But now... she couldn’t do something that would hurt them both.
Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo’s situation had given her a new perspective and taught her a lot.
Their friends knew that their relationship was irrational and confusing, but they still supported them and cheered for their love.
Who still remembered how much they used to love each other?
She remembered clearly how they looked under the bright lights on stage. Their eyes were filled with the most beautiful smiles and happiness.
