The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 176: A Night at the Movies

"Since they’re already bought, they’re on me."

"Nonsense, of course they’re on you!" Wen Nuan accepted it without batting an eye. As the two playfully walked out, everyone came to their senses. They were truly a perfectly matched couple, even more striking than celebrities.

"Their faces look so familiar..."

...

Wen Nuan left the boutique while Ye Feimo went to get the car. She ran across the street to buy two bubble teas: one strawberry, one taro. Ye Feimo didn’t like bubble tea; for Young Master Ye Er, it was junk food.

But when Wen Nuan bought it, Young Master Ye Er was more than happy to indulge.

He asked for the taro flavor. Wen Nuan hesitated; she had initially wanted the taro and planned to give the strawberry to Ye Feimo. After a moment’s thought, she handed the strawberry cup to Ye Feimo. "Here, the taro flavor."

Ye Feimo smiled and took it. Wen Nuan blissfully enjoyed her taro bubble tea. It was late at night, and the weather was a bit cool, so a hot, steamy bubble tea was pure happiness.

"This is taro flavor?"

"Yes!" Wen Nuan nodded, her face unwavering, her heart steady, her eyes unblinking. "What’s wrong? Does it not taste good?"

"Are you insulting my intelligence? This is strawberry flavor, isn’t it?"

"How many times have you had bubble tea? They all taste pretty much the same," Wen Nuan argued. Ye Feimo looked at his identical cup, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, not exposing her.

Wen Nuan mumbled, *What a miscalculation! This guy doesn’t even drink bubble tea, yet he can still taste strawberry? Ugh.*

By the time they reached the cinema, the movie was just starting.

This movie was incredibly popular recently; even at the midnight showing, the seats were fully packed. Wen Nuan bought a large bag of popcorn and a bottle of cola, and the two settled down to watch the film.

Their seats were in the middle, right in the center, offering an excellent view.

There were hardly any children watching movies at midnight, mostly couples or pairs. At a glance, the age group was mostly between 20 and 40, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

*King Without a Crown* was a lighthearted romantic comedy starring many famous actors. It kept the audience laughing from beginning to end, with bursts of laughter periodically erupting in the cinema. It featured several big-name comedians, creating a lot of comedic effect.

This film was different from the previous comedy film, which couldn’t withstand scrutiny; its plot was terrible, the storyline was outlandish, and its reputation was awful—purely a movie for entertainment’s sake.

This one was also a comedy, but it also expressed the self-respect, self-love, and resilience of modern urban women, conveying love and warmth within relationships, family, and friendships.

It was a comedy with substantial content.

No wonder it was so popular.

Wen Nuan really liked the movie. Although the production wasn’t particularly lavish, it exuded a very warm feeling.

For a New Year’s film, that’s exactly the kind of feeling you want.

She started to worry a little about *Beauty’s Allure*. *Beauty’s Allure* was a blend of commercialism and art. While heavily commercial, it also pursued artistic merit. Compared to this kind of lighthearted rom-com, *Beauty’s Allure* was a serious drama.

Serious dramas historically didn’t fare well in the New Year’s film market.

"Do you like this movie?" Ye Feimo asked.

Wen Nuan nodded. "Yes, I love it! Look at the audience’s reaction, it’s so good. They’re laughing from beginning to end. This movie makes people happy."

"Is it that funny?" Ye Feimo asked expressionlessly. Wen Nuan realized she hadn’t heard Ye Feimo laugh at all throughout the movie. *Awkward. His laugh threshold must be incredibly high.*

Wen Nuan tilted her head to look at Ye Feimo. In the darkness, his eyes were dark and bright, like a deep pool, making one want to get lost in them. Wen Nuan coughed a few times, then pursed her lips and asked, "Aren’t you enjoying it?"

Ye Feimo suddenly grabbed Wen Nuan’s hand, pulled her closer, and kissed her lips. "I’d be even happier if I could kiss you like this from beginning to end."

Wen Nuan burst into a giggle, unable to resist pulling at his hair. "Shut up! Eat popcorn."

Ye Feimo hummed, then obediently ate popcorn.

*What’s so good about this stuff? It tastes like nothing. Everything I’ve eaten tonight is junk food.*

There were many couples in the cinema, and a fair number were being intimate while watching the movie. A couple in the row in front of them was kissing throughout the film. Ye Feimo was incredibly envious. His attention was completely on Wen Nuan. Watching the movie? No interest anymore.

*After all, they came out on a date.* ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

With that thought, Ye Feimo also openly and frequently flirted with Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan indulged him, and conveniently, no one in the cinema noticed.

After the movie, it was past one in the morning. As they left, Ye Feimo held Wen Nuan’s hand, walking behind the crowd. She intentionally listened to the audience’s reviews; everyone felt they wanted more.

Unanimous praise.

Although the movie had a few scenes that were rather daring, the audience indicated they were acceptable. This cinema was owned by Huayun, and for promotional purposes, there were reporters outside interviewing audience members for their feedback.

Consistently positive reviews.

Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo avoided the commotion, walking around the reporters.

Having watched a comedy, both were in good spirits. Ye Feimo wanted to take Wen Nuan out to play, but she considered that he had to work tomorrow and decided to go straight home.

She was a relatively traditional girl. Although people in the entertainment industry often partied wildly, Zhuo Bingbing, Chen Hang, Li Chengming, and others would sometimes invite her out for dinner, dancing, or to bars.

But Wen Nuan didn’t like any of it. Aside from necessary activities, announcements, TV shows, filming, and recording songs, she hardly ever went out, unless it was a dinner invitation she couldn’t refuse.

She preferred to stay home, watch movies, listen to music, read books, or work out at the gym.

Ye Feimo had a sensitive stomach, and staying up late was already unhealthy for him. If he were to go out and party until dawn, and then still have a day of work followed by a preview screening that night, he wouldn’t be able to handle it. She always thought Ye Feimo was an iron man.

Sleeping only a few hours a day with such a heavy workload, and yet he managed to pull through.

"Are you feeling sorry for me?"

"Do you have to be so smug?" Wen Nuan proudly turned her face away. Ye Feimo smiled. Of course, he was smug. Enjoying Wen Nuan’s concern was a very smug-worthy feeling.

The two chatted and laughed all the way home.
