ttitude firm. Princess Xiangxiang stared at her father with tears in her eyes, her gaze revealing her deep love, pain, disappointment, and helplessness. It was so delicate that it seemed to bring a se...Ye Fei opened the car, Wen Nuann played with her phone inside. As soon as she went online, she saw the news about the a-city film critic award today, which was everywhere. Wen Nuann frowned and closed her phone. Ye Fei glanced at her, just as Wen Nuann looked up, smiled slightly, and closed the webpage.

The car was parked under the apartment building, Ye Fei Mo had just unbuckled his seatbelt when Wen Nuan ran over, passionately hugging Ye Fei Mo's arm, rubbing her head against his shoulder, "Ye Fei Mo, thank you."

Ye Fei Mo raised an eyebrow, reached out to rub her hair, and asked with a smile, "What are you thanking me for"

“All of it!” Wen Nuan smiled warmly, Ye Fei Mo was in a good mood, playfully raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept over Wen Nuan, the dark pupils flashed a hint of depth, “I don’t mind you thanking me in a different way.”

Warmth raised her head and glared at him angrily. This person was obsessed, how could he keep thinking about this.

However, she smirked and leaned in close to his ear, "It could work... but this time, I'm calling the shots."

Ye Fei Mo's eyes lit up, "Good, you understand the price of flesh. Master will spoil you this time, you do whatever you want."

……

Tang Shuwu and Chen Xue ru went back, talking about the Golden Awards all the way. From Tang Shuwu's tone, it sounded like the two awards on the Golden Awards were no problem, and the Best Actress award was definitely in the bag.

However, winning an award at the Jin Zhang Awards in her first year was already an honor for Wenwarm.

This kind of honor is rarely experienced by others.

Tang Shuwu smiled and asked, "What about you Best Supporting Actress"

Chen Xue-ru shook her head and smiled, "There's no need to worry about that. An Ning can't possibly win all the awards. That would put you in a difficult position. I already won Best Supporting Actress, so I don't need to win it again. Besides, whether or not I win an award doesn't really matter."

She is now living a peaceful and happy life. The only regret she has is that her son hasn't recovered yet. As for awards, she doesn't place much importance on them. It's certainly good to be acknowledged, but if she doesn't receive one, it doesn't bother her either.

She is different from Wenwen. Wenwen is on the rise and a newcomer, while she has passed that stage.

"Really not needed"

"There's no need for that." Chen Xue said with a faint smile, Tang Shuwenn smiled back, thinking about New Year's Eve, he asked, "Xue Ru, New Year's Eve is coming soon, would you like to go pay respects to your parents"

Chen Xue was a pitiful orphan, having lost both her parents at an early age. To spare her grief, Tang Shuwu rarely inquired about her parents and knew little about them. Throughout their marriage, he had never visited her parents' graves. Now that the New Year was approaching, it was only natural for him to pay his respects, both out of duty and compassion.

A city has a custom where daughters who are married must return to their parents' home for a day in the days leading up to New Year's Eve, even if their parents are gone, they can still go and pay respects with incense.

Chen Xue looked at Tang Sh yumu with surprise, as if she was very surprised that he would propose to meet her parents. Tang Sh yumu's heart ached, and he asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong Is there something amiss"

“Oh, no.” Chen Xue lowered her head. Their married life was gradually settling into a comfortable routine. There were no grand displays of passion or vows etched in stone. The resentment from before their marriage seemed to have dissipated entirely. Now, their days were peaceful.

Aren't we supposed to be together forever

She started to believe it a little, that they were a family.

She treated Tang Si and Wen Ran as family in her heart, but her feelings for Tang Shuwen were always complicated. She didn't dare to invest too much, afraid of being disappointed, and even more so, she didn't dare to treat him as family.

Over the years, she has come to realize that it's best not to place too much hope in others.

Everything depends on oneself.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so she was accustomed to not expecting anything from anyone. Without expectation, there is no disappointment.

But now, to say I don't expect it would be a lie.

"We've all been free these days, why don't we take Xiao Nian to pay our respects at the graves tomorrow, and let him get some fresh air." Tang Shuwen suggested. Chen Xue ru nodded, she agreed to anything when it came to their son.

Tang Shuwen knew exactly where her weakness lay, and she knew exactly how to get her to agree.

It is undeniable that he is a smart, considerate, and kind man.

Such a man is an undisputed prince charming in the eyes of women. If she forgets the unpleasantness before marriage, Tang Shuwen would truly be perfect. She should be grateful that after going through so much, she could still meet him.

When they were almost home, Tang Shuwen's phone rang. Chen Xueru only saw him frown and say, "I know," and "See you in a bit," before hanging up the earpiece. The moment he did, there was a darkness in his eyes, as if anger had gripped him.

Chen Xue rarely saw him get angry, this scene she occasionally saw before marriage, but never again after marriage.

Arrived at the Tang family's house.

Tang Shuwen said, "Xue Ru, I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Go home first."

"Good!" Chen Xue smiled, thinking it might be something about the company, so she didn't say much. She unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when Tang Shuwen suddenly grabbed her hand. She was startled and turned to look at him.

"What's wrong" Chen Xue asked.

Tang Shuwen's hand tightened, her gaze swept over a trace of unease, "Xue Ru, if one day someone tells you something, you must first ask me for verification and ask about my thoughts. Don't ever speculate on anything yourself, understand"

Chen Xue ru though she didn't know what he was saying, still nodded. Tang Shuwen saw her go in, then drove away.

When Chen Xue-ru came back, both Tang's parents were in the living room. Seeing that she had come back alone, Wenlan asked, "Where is Shuwen"

He had something urgent come up and said he'd be back later. Chen Xue walked over, Xiao Nian was still the same as always. After seeing a psychologist, there wasn't much improvement. Everyone was helpless. Xiao Nian resisted strongly, they felt sorry for her, but could only wait a while longer.

"Xiaonian, do you miss Mommy" Chen Xue's hugged him and kissed him several times. Xiaonian's eyes were empty, his expression wooden. Her heart skipped a beat, Wen Lan comforted her to take it slow, not to rush. Chen Xue nodded.

That's all there is to it.

Outside Zhao's villa, Zhao Yuning waited expectantly for Tang Shuwen. From afar, he saw her standing at the door in a pink long coat, and his expression darkened, his feelings unreadable.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhao Yuning ran over and hugged him, tears streaming down her face.

"Shuwen, I miss you so much," Zhao Yuning said through tears, holding him tightly, as if he were her most precious treasure. She clutched onto him, unwilling to let go, cherishing him dearly.

Tang Shuwen let her hold onto him, without pushing her away.

Zhao Yuning held on for a while, then slowly let go of him. Her eyes were filled with tears, her expression both pitiful and alluring. That kind of charm was captivating, easily triggering a man's protective instinct. Time seemed to rewind before his eyes.

He seemed to have been transported back to his high school days.

Back then, he was the campus heartthrob. It was rumored that chasing after the beauties from the liberal arts department was a difficult feat, as they were aloof and high-minded. He and his group of buddies devised a plan to get close to Zhao Yuning on purpose, and eventually, they won her over.er to talk about business and make Wen Nuan avoid it Should I also avoid it"Having been accustomed to dealing with terrorist organizations, his tone carried more of a command and an air of dominance c...
