Chen Xueru pushed open the door of the private room. Cai Xiaojing was already singing, with Mandong and Gao Chunmiao accompanying her. The atmosphere was lively and warm. Chen Xueru sat down next to them. They finished a song and turned down the volume slightly.

Gao Chunmiao, wearing short sleeves, had sweated through her clothes despite A City's mild climate in February. She sat down casually and opened a beer, saying, "Warming, you left with Ye Manager yesterday, did anything happen I mean, that thing..."

Warming blushed, "It looks like you all planned to interrogate me. You start off by asking without any tact."

"What's the point of being tactful, we know your ways too well. Come on, come on, come on. Why did you want to be together again Back then when you divorced nobody could convince you to stay, now you're back. What happened at that time" Gao Chunmiao said; she was extremely curious about Warming's love life. One might even say everyone in A City was curious about the rumors surrounding Ye Family Wife and Second Young Master.

Warming didn't want to talk about such matters, as they would only think her foolish. She simply stated that losing a child made her depressed and unable to forgive Ye Feimo, leading to their divorce. She didn't elaborate further.

Cai Xiaojing said, "When you were planning your divorce, Manager Ye was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Anyone who knew the circumstances thought it was because of his illness that you left him. Now coming back, there's a lot of gossip."

Since Ye Feimo’s condition had improved, Warming returning now would naturally invite speculation and criticism, but she wasn't afraid. She anticipated such reactions and was willing to bear the pressure.

No matter what, she was going to spend her life with Ye Feimo from now on. As long as he remained devoted to her, no matter how many obstacles or inner demons there were, she would overcome them all.

Warming said, "What others say is irrelevant to me; I can't control it. All that matters is what I know."

"You've been away for a year and yet you're so sure about Ye Manager Do you know that Xu Wenhui..."

Cai Xiaojing nudged Gao Chunmiao with her foot from behind, to which she frowned and replied, "Cousin Xiaojing, why did you step on me As a friend, I naturally want to tell Warming everything. I’m not sowing discord; it's the truth. Telling Warming will give her an idea of what’s going on, making it easier for her to think things through. If she truly wants to be with Ye Manager, shouldn't she clear this up If she doesn’t want to know, there’ll always be unresolved issues. Why hide if you’re willing to act"

Chen Xueru drank a glass of beverage while Warming smiled faintly. Cai Xiaojing shook her head and Tang Mandong said, "Spring Seed is right, Warming. Back then, Ye Manager took Xu Wenhui to the hotel on Christmas Eve; they spent a whole day together."

Cai Xiaojing said calmly, "I think you two young girls are just naive kids. After a divorce, each person lives their own life separately. Even if Mr. Ye really did have something with Xu Wenhui, so what"

Warming smiled and lowered her head. She indeed couldn’t force anything. Gao Chunmiao pursed her lips. Warming said with a smile, "Alright, don't talk about this anymore. He told me yesterday that I'm not bothered by it."

Cai Xiaojing clapped her hands and said, "Then everyone is happy. By the way, before we left today, Lin Ning asked you if you had any interest in filming a TV drama based on 'The傾城美人'"

Tang Mandong particularly loved 'The傾城美人'. Upon hearing this, she became very excited and pulled Cai Xiaojing to ask, "When did this happen Is it true Are you sure I love that movie so much."

Cai Xiaojing nodded. Chen Xieru didn’t know about the news either and asked Cai Xiaojing, "Is Lin Ning directing Didn't he say he wouldn’t direct TV dramas"

"It's Director Chen, the extraordinary one. He has been very successful in directing this type of TV drama. Currently, they are raising investment funds. The script was co-written by Lin Ning and Chen Xiaoyue. He asked me to ask you if you have any interest since it’s your project." Cai Xiaojing said, but honestly, she didn’t agree with Warming taking on another TV drama role. People who stepped onto the big screen would focus solely on movies; they wouldn’t touch small screens anymore. She had never seen a big star continue to shoot TV dramas after getting used to filming movies. Warming’s direction was quite clear, but since Cai Xiaojing wasn’t her agent anymore and Warming was no longer part of An Ning Entertainment, she didn’t say anything further.

Chen Xieru said, "That's odd; I didn't know Lin Ning wrote TV drama scripts."

"He does write them. He never signs his name; it’s under Chen Xiaoyue," Cai Xiaojing explained. Everyone knew that Chen Xiaoyue was a talented female scriptwriter in the TV industry, and her dramas always topped the ratings with good reviews. No one knew that Lin Ning had been involved until Cai Xiaojing told them; they found out that Chen Xiaoyue is actually Lin Ning’s cousin. Chen Xieru shook her head and said with a smile, "He really keeps his talents hidden. He writes movie scripts smoothly and TV drama scripts just as well. No wonder I occasionally feel grandiose when watching Chen Xiaoyue's work."

Tang Mandong said, "I’ve graduated, and my internship is almost over. Can I be the director"

Everyone was speechless.

Gao Chunmiao laughed as she pushed her away, saying, "Are you capable of it"

"Get lost!" Tang Mandong was annoyed and said, "My internship performance is excellent, and my academic grades are top-notch too. What can’t I do If not, I’ll have to talk to my brother later and get him to invest in the project so that I can direct it. Isn’t the investment still pending"

Cai Xiaojing said, "The investment isn't in place yet, but for this matter... Are you going to co-direct with Director Chen or take on the role by yourself"

"If I take it on, any losses will be my brother's responsibility," Tang Mandong said. "Oh no, speaking of the devil—my movie won't lose money, definitely not. It'll surely become a hit across China! Have you talked to Lin Ning and Director Chen about this, Sister Xiao Jing"

"It was actually Director Chen and Lin Ning who decided to make it. But Lin Ning hasn’t agreed yet; he’s just writing the script. His plan is to hand over the script to him, and if he likes it, they’ll go ahead with the production. However, since Lin Ning has already asked him to secure funding for it, I think he's implicitly giving his approval. So, you’re asking for a tough favor now, isn’t that right Unless you co-direct with Director Chen, which is not very difficult. Besides, as a newly graduated young woman from the directing program, your heart shouldn't be so big. You should start by honing your skills," said Cai Xiao Jing with a smile. The industry was small and close-knit; if this news spread, it would put Lin Ning in an awkward position. Although he wasn’t afraid of offending people, breaking a promise after agreeing to something never looked good.

Tang Mandong wasn't unreasonable, but she loved that movie so much. "But that's easy! With City at Stake having such great word-of-mouth and the script being written by Big Brother Lin, it’s bound to be excellent. Why should we give a chance to others We should just make it ourselves in Anning. If Director Chen has an issue with this, hey—didn’t Princess Qinglian plan on making a sequel Well then, why not give him our movie for free, or buy his favor and pay us back later As long as I can be part of City at Stake, I'm content. Sister Xiao Jing, could you mention it to Big Brother Lin tonight He knows my abilities; filming a TV drama shouldn’t be a problem for me. Oh yeah, General Manager Ye will definitely agree with me; he's so particular about this movie and only gave me such little funding. If there’s not enough money, I’ll pay out of pocket or ask my brother for it. He'll surely be happy to help."

Chen Xieru was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, while Cai Xiao Jing thought Tang Mandong's idea seemed feasible. "Alright, I'll talk to him later."

Tang Mandong clapped her hands in excitement and turned to snatch Warmth: "Come here; you're the leading lady, no backing out!"

"Me" Warmth pointed back at herself, somewhat reluctant. She hadn’t planned on taking up domestic TV dramas. Cai Xiao Jing noticed this hesitation and explained to Tang Mandong that it would indeed be inappropriate if they were to proceed with their original plans.

Tang Mandong said, "When we declared our majors, you promised me you'd participate in my production. You can't go back on your word now. Plus, starring in a TV drama is also good for maintaining one’s reputation. As it's my first time directing a series, just give me this boost."

Warmth smiled; she knew there was no way to refuse Tang Mandong. "Give me a small role instead, maybe one or two episodes. I'll happily do it as a cameo."

"That's out of the question! Are you really not going to take on TV dramas in the future" asked Tang Mandong.

Chen Xieru said, "Mandong, Warmth graduated only this October; timing might be off."

"Timing works. The script preparation will likely take a couple of months, and casting needs time too. A few more months or even half a year isn't unusual. I’m worried they can’t start filming in October," Tang Mandong insisted that Warmth should still play the lead role.

Having the same main character for both the film and TV series was rare indeed.

"Understood, you don’t need to remind me about it. I’ll think about it later. You try finding someone else first; if that fails, I’ll agree then. Consider me a backup."

“Haha, then it’s settled. What backup I won’t consider others.” Tang Mandong laughed heartily.

Wen Ran pursed her lips and looked at Cai Xiaojing who shook her head with a smile as well. Gao Chunmiao clapped her hands excitedly, wanting to become an extra already. Seeing their enthusiasm, both Cai Xiaojing and Chen Xueru felt extremely envious.

It’s truly wonderful to be young.

The group played until late at night. Ye Feimo came to take Wen Ran back to the Wens’ house; it was already midnight by then, so he couldn’t go inside any further. Holding her hand, his reluctance was evident, reminiscent of their early days in love.

Saying goodbye is always hard and tearful.

"Drive carefully when you get home. I’m going in now; I feel a bit sleepy today."

"Come have lunch with me tomorrow at noon."

Wen Ran thought for a moment, "I don’t really have any plans for tomorrow, but I need to ask Brother first. If he doesn’t need my company, then I’ll come find you."

Ye Feimo was displeased, "Am I supposed to be behind him"

"Why are we in such a hurry It’s rare for Brother to visit; I should properly entertain him. But judging from his demeanor, he probably doesn’t need me." Wen Ran chuckled and Ye Feimo shook his head, giving her a light kiss on the forehead. "Go inside now, see you tomorrow."

"You go first, I’ll enter later."

"You should go in first."

"You drive off first."fe.This was also the proudest moment for him because he had won over his girl.To hold your hand and grow old together, without any regrets.A blush crept onto her cheeks; her ears grew hot. "Husband, c...
