Jiang Fei glanced at Qin Mo in front of her, pursed her lips, and turned to walk towards Yan Yunzhou, who was not far away.

"Jiang Fei." Qin Mo grabbed her wrist almost immediately, with great force, as if he wanted to squeeze her into his bones.

He couldn't bear to watch her walk away to another man.

Yan Yunzhou still smiled faintly, glanced down at Qin Mo's hand, then looked up with gentle eyes and said quietly, "Feifei, come here."

Jiang Fei's wrist trembled slightly as Qin Mo gripped hers, and she placed her other hand on the back of his hand.

Qin Mo held her tightly: "Jiang Fei, how dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Fei pried his hands off.

“Mr. Qin, Miss Ye is still waiting for you.” Jiang Fei walked step by step toward Yan Yunzhou.

Qin Mo watched her back as her hands, which had been pried open, hung at her sides, clenching into fists for a long time, trembling slightly from the force.

She was his woman, his fiancée.

But it was also he who pushed her away from his side.

Jiang Fei had already walked to Yan Yunzhou's side: "Mr. Yan, let's go."

Yan Yunzhou nodded.

Jiang Fei smiled, but hesitated for a moment as she turned around, as if she couldn't bear it and wanted to turn back.

Qin Mo's breath hitched as he stared intently at her retreating figure. She... still cared about him after all.

Yan Yunzhou turned to look at Jiang Fei, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, before calmly taking her hand and walking towards the banquet hall entrance.

This time, there was no stopping.

Qin Mo's favorability rating: 75.

...

On the way back, Jiang Fei was still slightly drunk. Yan Yunzhou held her hand tightly and never let go, so she simply leaned on his shoulder and pretended to doze off.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Fei felt a hand creep up her cheek, gently stroking under her eyes.

Jiang Fei opened her eyes, rested her chin on his shoulder, and asked in the dim light of the car interior, "What?"

Yan Yunzhou shook his head and said in a low voice, "I was just thinking, Qin Mo is quite smart, how could he be so easily fooled by your tears?"

Jiang Fei chuckled softly, her eyes lazily half-closed: "Translated, wouldn't this be 'I'm jealous when Qin Mo touches you'?"

Yan Yunzhou paused, his hand stroking her eyelids, then casually withdrew it, put his arm around her shoulder, and let her lean against him. After a while, he sighed softly, "You..."

Jiang Fei nestled quietly in his arms without responding.

Yan Yunzhou then asked, "Have all the resources been selected?"

Jiang Fei perked up this time and sat up straight from his embrace: "I've made my choices, but there are several that I really like. Can you help me decide?"

Yan Yunzhou looked at her, a smile in his eyes: "Do you want me to help you make a decision, or should I give it all to you?"

Jiang Fei laughed heartily: "If your idea is to give them all to me, of course I won't refuse."

Yan Yunzhou chuckled and pulled her back into his arms.

Outside the car window, the streetlights flickered and receded, making Jiang Fei feel dizzy and actually drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, a low male voice suddenly came from above: "Six months."

Jiang Fei, puzzled, said in a soft, nasal voice, "Hmm?"

Yan Yunzhou said slowly, "The doctor said I probably have about six months to live."

The ending I've been waiting for since childhood is finally almost here.

"Oh," Jiang Fei replied casually, "That's enough." There are still six months to go.

After saying that, she changed her position in his arms and continued to sleep.

Yan Yunzhou paused slightly, then laughed out loud, his chest vibrating slightly. Even through the partition, Assistant Wang couldn't help but look back. He couldn't hear what was said, but it seemed like a long time since he had heard Mr. Yan laugh so happily.

Yan Yunzhou looked down at the woman in his arms.

Only Jiang Fei is so carefree.

He couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching her cheek.

Jiang Fei didn't move.

The car was parked in front of a luxurious villa.

Assistant Wang got out of the car and walked to the back door. Just as he was about to open the door, it was already opened from the inside.

Yan Yunzhou got out of the car quietly, while Jiang Fei remained asleep.

"I'll help Miss Jiang in..." Assistant Wang had just started to speak when Yan Yunzhou glanced at him indifferently.

Assistant Wang's outstretched hand paused, and he stiffly withdrew it.

Yan Yunzhou stepped forward, saw that Jiang Fei was still asleep, couldn't help but smile, picked her up and carried her into the villa.

Assistant Wang, watching from behind, couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Yan in a good mood today?"

Yan Yunzhou paused, his smile gradually fading. Even after placing Jiang Fei on the bed in the guest room, he didn't leave, but simply sat quietly on the sofa, lost in thought with his eyes lowered.

As Jiang Fei struggled to wake up and prepared to remove her makeup, she saw Yan Yunzhou sitting beside her in profile: "What are you thinking about?"

Yan Yunzhou snapped out of his daze and looked at her gently: "Miss Jiang, Qin Mo is not someone you can entrust with your life."

Jiang Fei raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“I didn’t mean to interfere with Miss Jiang’s feelings,” Yan Yunzhou smiled. “Of course, if Miss Jiang is happy, I can’t stop her.”

Jiang Fei asked, "What does Mr. Yan mean?"

“What I mean is, if Miss Jiang meets someone she likes, she can cancel our appointment at any time,” Yan Yunzhou coughed and lowered his eyes. “Of course, if you don’t mind, I also know quite a few talented young men…”

Jiang Fei interrupted him: "So you wanted to introduce me to a man?"

Yan Yunzhou paused for a moment, then smiled faintly: "How is it?"

Jiang Fei considered it seriously for two seconds: "It sounds pretty good. It will probably take another three months after I finish filming this scene."

Yan Yunzhou nodded, stood up, and walked towards the door.

The next second, he thought of something, his hand landed on the doorknob, and he turned to look at Jiang Fei: "Miss Jiang, even if I really wanted to take revenge on someone, I wouldn't use a woman."

After saying that, he gently closed the door and left.

Jiang Fei looked at the closed door, slowly withdrew her gaze, and then smiled.

What a hypocritical, sickly beauty!

His favorability rating is clearly already at 30.

...

The next day, Jiang Fei received a call from Sister Zhang, who said that several top-notch resources had specifically requested them for her, exactly the ones she had previously chosen.

But Yan Yunzhou never appeared again.

After resting for a day, Jiang Fei returned to the film crew.

Cheng Sisi was no longer on the set. As for the reason, the crew kept quiet about it, and she didn't bother to ask anymore.

The filming is in full swing.

That day, Jiang Fei's scenes were concentrated in the morning. After filming, she was just about to return to the dressing room when Sister Zhang told her that someone wanted to see her and was waiting in the dressing room.

Jiang Fei pondered for a moment, then quickly understood.

From the moment she accompanied Yan Yunzhou to the private dinner that night, she guessed that Ye Qingqing would come looking for her.

Back in the dressing room, seeing that familiar face confirmed her suspicions.

"Miss Jiang." Ye Qingqing took two steps toward her and extended her hand.

Jiang Fei smiled and nodded, then lightly shook her hand.

Ye Qingqing paused for a moment before saying, "Miss Jiang and Amo were engaged before, but because of me, Amo broke off the engagement." As she said this, she looked at her and said, "I owe Miss Jiang an apology."

Jiang Fei looked at her and said slowly, "It's all in the past."

Ye Qingqing bit her lip: "Even though it's all in the past, I still want to ask Miss Jiang for a favor."

Jiang Fei nodded: "Go ahead."

"Miss Jiang, please don't see Amo again, okay?" Ye Qingqing looked up into her eyes. "Miss Jiang should know that Amo only approached you because of your face. The person Amo likes is me, and I..."

She paused for a moment: "I like Amo too."

Jiang Fei's smile deepened as she quietly looked back at Ye Qingqing: "Miss Ye, why don't you tell Qin Mo what you just said?"

Ye Qingqing was stunned: "What?"

"He was the one who approached me first, but Miss Ye told me not to get close to him," Jiang Fei laughed. "How interesting."

"You..." Ye Qingqing looked her up and down. She thought Jiang Fei was gentle and wouldn't say such direct things, but she was completely different from the person she knew. Was it because she followed Yan Yunzhou that she was so confident?

"Of course I'll tell Amo too."

“Alright,” Jiang Fei nodded, “I hope Miss Ye keeps her word.”

She turned around.

“Miss Jiang,” Ye Qingqing clenched her fist, “I know you’re with Yan Yunzhou now, thinking he’ll give you everything, but he won’t love you. He’s a heartless man; he can’t love anyone…”

Jiang Fei turned to look at her with a hint of surprise: "Thanks for the reminder."

Ye Qingqing frowned. She wasn't reminding her; she was shattering her illusions.

He turned around and glanced at the poster of "After Dawn" displayed in the dressing room: "Then I wish Ms. Jiang's new film great success."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Jiang Fei lowered her eyes, then laughed out loud.

For Ye Qingqing, who knew about her past life, the words "I wish her new film great success" carried a hint of irony.

The reason why "After Dawn" failed at the box office in its previous life was not because of its reputation. On the contrary, the reputation was very good. It was just that the pre-release publicity was not good. Only one week after its release, it was hit by the current costume drama with political intrigue starring Ye Qingqing, which was doing a lot of publicity.

In a previous life, this movie was starred by actress Chen Shan.

Let's see how it goes this time.

For the next month, Jiang Fei devoted herself entirely to the film crew, diligently filming when she had scenes to shoot and carefully studying her roles when she didn't.

In her previous life, the original owner's acting skills were highly praised, and she couldn't let the original owner down.

Qin Mo came once, saying he wanted to talk to her again, but Jiang Fei did not see him.

However, the two Yan brothers never showed up again.

...

Nighttime, at a bar.

Yan Wang sat alone in the private room, with a girl dressed as a waiter sitting far away to the side, occasionally glancing at him.

During this period, Yan Wang always came here alone, leaving the girl to sit aside and do nothing but drink.

He drank more than usual tonight. He looked up at the girl beside him and said after a long while, "Sit over here."

The girl was taken aback, then slowly sat down next to him.

Yan Wang squinted as he examined the girl's face, his gaze involuntarily lingering on her eyes, the slightly upturned corners of which resembled hers so much...

Yan Wang snapped back to reality, took a swig of wine, and said slowly, "You're like a person."

The girl paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "I heard Young Master Sun mention you before, is it a Miss Ye?"

Yan Wang's hand holding the wine glass froze for a moment, then he laughed, looking into her eyes with an almost provocative expression: "Of course."

What else?

Will she be like Jiang Fei again?

Yan Wang's heart tightened, then he slowly stood up, waved away the girl's hand that was trying to support him, and walked towards the door.

Today is July 19th, his birthday.

Today means nothing to anyone.

On Weibo and Baidu Baike, his birthday is July 28th. His biological mother changed it for him because when the old man from the Yan family was about to die, he believed in anything to survive, even superstitiously believing that his birthday was auspicious, so he took him back to the Yan family.

His original birthday was considered unlucky.

He was jealous of Yan Yunzhou, who could always live openly and honestly.

Her biological mother ultimately failed to gain power, but received a large sum of money.

He used the large sum of money he obtained in exchange.

Yan Wang sneered and got into a taxi.

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "Where are you going, sir?"

Yan Wang pursed his lips: "The Grand View Winery in the Suburbs..." He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, frowned, and after a long while said, "Go wherever you want."

The driver was naturally pleased to hear this.

Yan Wang leaned back in the back seat, stroking his phone in his hand.

His relationship with Jiang Fei was clearly just a gamble.

All my current feelings are just illusions and resentment.

He paused, then found Ye Qingqing's number and dialed it. The call was answered after five rings.

"Yan Wang?" Ye Qingqing's voice came through the receiver.

Yan Wang squinted and responded softly, "Qingqing."

"Is there something you need?" Ye Qingqing asked softly.

Yan Wang's throat tightened slightly, and he remained silent.

"I have to film a scene later..." Ye Qingqing said with difficulty.

Yan Wang's expression turned cold: "I won't bother you anymore." He then turned to hang up.

"That's right!" Ye Qingqing suddenly exclaimed.

Yan Wang tightened his grip on his phone.

"I remember it's your birthday at the end of this month, I'll definitely go back to celebrate with you then," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

Yan Wang listened to the clear voice on the other end of the line and gave a slight smile: "Okay." Then he hung up the phone.

Suddenly I feel really listless.

His mind was somewhat clouded by the alcohol, and he couldn't help but turn his head to the side and fall over.

The driver was startled by the sight, fearing something might happen to him in his car: "Sir, you haven't said where you're going yet."

"..." No one responded from the back seat, but after a while, a soft murmur came, "Suburban Grand View Hotel."

...

Jiang Fei returned to the hotel after filming a night scene, which was already past 10 p.m.

I didn't have dinner, but as I passed by the hotel lobby, I grabbed a piece of cake from the dinner area.

After taking a shower and applying the medicine, she was just about to pick up the cake to eat when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and was somewhat surprised.

Yan Yunzhou, who hasn't shown his face since he said he would introduce her to a man, has not been seen since.

"Hello?" Jiang Fei answered lazily from the sofa.

Yan Yunzhou's voice was as gentle as ever: "Asleep?"

"Not yet," Jiang Fei smiled. "Is there something you need, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Yunzhou remained silent for a while before asking, "Do you have time?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Fei asked in confusion. "I thought Mr. Yan didn't want to see me anymore."

Yan Yunzhou chuckled lightly, then coughed twice, covering his mouth: "Recently, a new darling has emerged in the tech industry. He took the initiative to ask me about Miss Jiang. He seems quite interested in her. Shall we get to know each other?"

Jiang Fei chuckled: "Mr. Yan, you seem quite concerned about my affairs?"

Yan Yunzhou paused for a moment, then asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Fei was about to speak: "I..."

A knock came at the door.

Jiang Fei paused for a moment and said into the receiver, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he put his phone on the table without hanging up, got up and opened the door.

Outside the door, Yan Wang's tie was loose, and he reeked of alcohol. He stared straight at her for a while before saying, slowly and deliberately, "Jiang Fei!"

Jiang Fei was taken aback: "What are you doing here?"

The system, which had been silent for some time, suddenly spoke up: "[Today is Yan Wang's real birthday.]"

Jiang Fei understood as she looked at Yan Wang's obviously downcast mood.

Yan Wang did not respond to her, but said again, "Jiang Fei".

Jiang Fei glanced at his obviously drunken eyes, then at the other closed doors in the corridor, and finally let him in.

Yan Wang followed behind her and sat on the sofa.

Jiang Fei poured him a glass of water, then picked up her phone: "Excuse me, Mr. Yan..."

“It’s alright,” Yan Yunzhou quickly interrupted her, “Miss Jiang.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Fei shrugged and turned to look at Yan Wang, who was also looking at her, staring straight into her eyes.

After adjusting her demeanor, Jiang Fei slowly sat down opposite him, looking down with a self-deprecating smile: "I thought you were going to see Miss Ye today."

Yan Wang frowned: "Why should I look for her?"

Jiang Fei pursed her lips: "You haven't appeared during this time. You must have been staying by Miss Ye's side, right? After all, Qin Mo isn't with her now..."

Yan Wangleng.

During this time, he did not attend any events or visit Ye Qingqing; he was simply agitated.

I was annoyed by that kissing scene, and annoyed by the director's words.

“Even so…” Jiang Fei continued, glancing reluctantly at the cake on the table before slowly pushing it in front of Yan Wang. She looked up at him, squinting her eyes and smiling, “Happy birthday, Yan Wang.”

Yan Wang stared blankly at the smile on her face, and inexplicably felt something gently beating in his heart, a strange bittersweet feeling welling up inside.

After a long silence, he lowered his head and said, "I hate eating cake the most."

Jiang Fei was stunned, and looked down with disappointment: "I'm sorry..." As she spoke, she was about to take the cake back.

But it was snatched away halfway through. Yan Wang glared at her, then slowly took a bite of the cake.

It was exactly twelve o'clock.

His birthday has passed.

...

downstairs.

Assistant Wang looked at the man who had come upstairs not long ago and asked in surprise, "Isn't that Mr. Yan?"

Yan Yunzhou stood in front of the car, still holding his phone, his face pale, his eyebrows slightly lowered, lost in thought, his expression blank.

Indeed, it is Yan Wang.

I thought he came here drunk to go on a date, and it really was a date, but it was with Jiang Fei.

Assistant Wang stood cautiously to the side, wondering to himself, "What tech tycoon? Isn't it just Mr. Yan wanting to see Ms. Jiang?"

After standing there for more than ten minutes, Yan Yunzhou coughed, covered his mouth, and turned back to his car.

Assistant Wang asked in surprise, "Mr. Yan, aren't you waiting for Miss Jiang?"

Yan Yunzhou replied, "Back to the hotel."

He couldn't be mistaken about the voice coming from the phone receiver; it was Yan Wang.

His half-brother.

This is the first time I've heard him speak so earnestly.

Jiang Fei let him into her room.

It's almost midnight. How could he not know what it means to let a man into a room?

It's nothing.

But... maybe he shouldn't have agreed to stay by her side in the first place.

We went back to the hotel and went to the top floor.

Yan Yunzhou stood quietly by the window, looking outside. The sofa next to him was already empty.

Of course it should be empty; she's currently in a hotel on the outskirts of the city with another man.

Yan Yunzhou gave a sarcastic smile.

A person like him has no right to be resentful.

But he couldn't help feeling jealous. He was jealous that Yan Wang had a healthier body than him, and that he could always choose whatever he wanted.

Jealous of him, he's currently in Jiang Fei's room, perhaps even more intimately...

"Cough..." Yan Yunzhou coughed softly, his heart inexplicably spasming, with waves of sharp pain.

He couldn't help but clutch his heart, his back hunched over, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even breathing became difficult. He experienced waves of dizziness and darkness before his eyes, and he couldn't stop coughing so hard it was heart-wrenching.

"Mr. Yan?" Assistant Wang's voice seemed distant, replaced by a strange buzzing sound, and nothing could be heard anymore.

"Mr. Yan!"

...

hotel.

After finishing the cake, Yan Wang looked at the woman in front of him, from the scar on her left cheek to her slightly raised eyebrows.

It was like going back to when she was in the hospital, when she couldn't see and could only rely on him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Fei turned her head and pretended to be uncomfortable.

Yan Wang looked away and was about to speak when his phone rang.

He paused for a moment, took out his phone, looked at the word "Qingqing" on the screen, and quickly looked up at Jiang Fei.

Jiang Fei stared at his phone screen, paused for a second, her unease gradually fading, her eyes darkening slightly: "You answer the phone."

Yan Wang's throat tightened, and he finally pressed the answer button.

Ye Qingqing's voice came through the receiver: "Yan Wang, I'm sorry, I remember you told me your real birthday, but I was busy and forgot." Her voice was gentle as it rang softly in the receiver, "Happy birthday!"

Yan Wang's hand gripping the phone was taut, and the veins on the back of his hand stood out.

He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

He had told Ye Qingqing on his own initiative, but she only remembered it after her birthday.

He hadn't told Jiang Fei, but she knew.

"Yan Wang?" Ye Qingqing called out to him in confusion.

Yan Wang replied softly, "Mm."

"I'm so sorry, it's all because I've been too busy these past few days..." Ye Qingqing was still saying something, but Yan Wang couldn't listen anymore and looked up at Jiang Fei.

She was also looking at him. Noticing his gaze, Jiang Fei forced a smile, her face slightly pale. She took two steps back in a flustered manner and said softly, "Miss Ye called. That's good... You two chat."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang.

As if grasping at a straw, Jiang Fei grabbed her phone and headed for the balcony.

The call was from Assistant Wang.

Jiang Fei answered the phone, and Assistant Wang's voice came through quickly: "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Yan has had a relapse, and it seems... his life is in danger."

Jiang Fei frowned.

Didn't they say there were still six months left? How come it's only been less than two months...?

"System?" she thought to herself, "Why didn't you notify me of the target's physical condition?"

[System: The host possesses the skill of "curing all diseases," I thought the host had victory in hand.]

Jiang Fei: "..."

She turned and walked back to the living room. Yan Wang had already hung up the phone and was standing by the sofa watching her.

Jiang Fei composed herself: "Was that Miss Ye on the phone?"

Yan Wang lowered his head and said, "Mm."

"Are you leaving?" Jiang Fei asked again.

Yan Wang remained silent.

"That's fine," Jiang Fei forced a smile. "Go see her. Qin Mo won't show up." Then she picked up her coat and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Yan Wang stopped her.

Jiang Fei remained silent.

"Jiang Fei," Yan Wang looked at her, "was the person who just called you Qin Mo?"

The question was phrased as a question, but the meaning was one of certainty. Otherwise, how would she know that Qin Mo wouldn't show up?

Jiang Fei smiled and said calmly, "Yan Wang, as you wish, our bet is about to be completed."

Yan Wang froze.

Jiang Fei didn't look at him again, opened the door and went straight to the parking lot.

Just as she drove straight out of the parking lot, a figure suddenly darted out in front of her car and nearly hit her.

Yan Wang.

Jiang Fei looked at him.

Yan Wang walked to the car: "Don't go."

Jiang Fei remained silent.

Yan Wang stubbornly repeated, "Don't go, Jiang Fei."

Jiang Fei lowered her head: "Yan Wang, don't say things that could be misunderstood."

After saying that, he started the car, drove around him, and left.

Yan Wang remained standing there for a long time, then murmured softly, "I'm not going. Jiang Fei, you shouldn't go either..."

Yan Wang's favorability rating: 80.
