here to drink without even looking around.” His voice was wooden and cold, his expression as sharp and frigid as ice, a chilling ten miles deep. Han Bi, however, foolishly smiled softly, pulling Ye Fe...He didn't blame her; he just found her even more adorable.

At the end of the day, it was my own fault for being late.

Although he was her fiance, Dudi had come into her life late. He was confident that if Wenwen had met him before Ye Feimo, he wouldn't have been late. It's a pity... time cannot be controlled.

He couldn't blame others.

A warmth filled Wen's eyes, she saw a tinge of pain in Dudy's gaze. The words that had been on her lips suddenly became difficult to utter. Dudy smiled, "Do you have something you want to tell me"

Warmly feeling guilty, Dudi's brilliance dimmed little by little. Warmth gathered her courage, the girl's face calm as she said, "Dudi, I'm not the right person, don't wait for me."

"Even to wait for you silently like this, you wouldn't want it" Dudy smiled wryly.

“I don’t want to lie to you, Dudy. Although this is a matter of mutual feelings, I can’t bear it. You know that I can’t fall in love with anyone again, so why wait for me You think your feelings are worth waiting for and that my feelings shouldn’t matter That’s the wrong idea. How can you ignore my feelings I know you’ve done a lot for me, and I know you treat me very well, but this makes me even more burdened. I wish I could repay you, but I can’t. You are a good person, a good man. To many women, you are more like a prince charming than Ye Fei Mo, the ideal husband in their hearts. But I belong to Ye Fei Mo, and I always will be. Although we are apart, my heart is still with him. If he can’t live, I don’t know what I would become. If he lives a healthy and happy life, I would be satisfied for my whole life. I don’t want to carry any more emotional debt, so Dudy, I beg you, let me go.”

Love cannot be judged right or wrong, and she couldn't bear to delay Du Di. She had told Du Di more than once not to wait for her, that she didn't love him, but Du Di never listened. He stubbornly waited for her, knowing he would get hurt.

Even though she knew Ye Fei Mo would be heartbroken and sad, she stubbornly hurt Ye Fei Mo and left him.

She was already suffering enough, she didn't want to bear any more burdens.

Even if it was given willingly by someone else, she wouldn't want it.

Dudu's deep eyes were clouded with a thin layer of pain. Wenwen wasn't the first to express her feelings, and while these words weren't intended to catch him off guard, they still brought him pain...

Painful dull ache.

He grew this big, this pain is what she brought.

So she rejected him that strongly, huh

“I understand,” said Dudley, a gentleman who always maintained such courtesy, with a slight smile and a gentle manner. “From today onwards, we are friends. I will retreat to the boundaries of friendship. Our personal matters will be mentioned no more, shall we”

Warmly smiled, "Thank you."

Dudi raised his glass, lowered his eyes and took a sip, not letting the bitterness in his eyes show. The red wine, which he had originally thought was sweet and fragrant, now felt bitter, just like his mood.

A touch of bitterness mingled with the warmth in his heart, and he silently apologized to Dudu.

A loved one will put in effort for you, even if it's just taking the bag from your hands. They find sweetness in not wanting to burden you. But a man who doesn't love you, when he puts in effort, you feel nothing but moved.

Warmly, she suddenly realized why she had never loved Dudley.

He was too rational, even at such a moment, he remained a courteous gentleman, hiding his emotions so well. To be honest, Dudy didn't need him; he could carry all his emotions alone.

He always gave her a clean, rational feeling. She couldn't feel that Didi had the slightest need for her.

Different strokes for different folks.

Although Ye Fei Mo is rational, she sometimes makes him awkward as if he were a big child. Although he has always led their relationship, she deeply feels that he needs her. Just like the time they confirmed their feelings, his stomach ache was unbearable, his brows furrowed with vulnerability. The usually strong man at that moment was like a child who needed her protection.

Just like that time she was angry and asked him to mop the floor, he saw her smile and mopped the entire floor until it was spotless, all just to earn a smile from her. Facing such a man, how could you not be moved, not cherish him Even if he had a bad temper, even if he was suspicious and overthinking, even if he was unpredictable, she was happy to be by his side.

Those things, Dudu probably wouldn't be able to do.

Or maybe, she wasn't the person Dudi was supposed to be with. So Dudi always remained so rational in front of her. Between them, there was more responsibility. It used to be liking, not love. After knowing her status, it became responsibility.

It's a pity, she doesn't need it.

At this moment, she genuinely wished for Dudi to find a girl who was right for him. And that side of him, the one where a common man shamelessly shirked responsibility—that belonged exclusively to the future Mrs. Du.

Long Chengtian returned and felt the strange atmosphere between them. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened Why is it so silent"

Warmth felt it was time, with them all present. She asked, "Brother, Dudy, I ask you, is there truly no way to break the Dragon family's curse"

Du Di and Long Chengtian exchanged glances, their faces slightly changing. Neither of them spoke. Wen Wen was the first to bring up this question in front of them. Although it was just a moment of surprise, Wen Wen saw a glimmer of hope.

"Is there" Wen Nuan asked urgently, her pale face as if covered with a layer of excited excitement.

Long Chengtian said, “Little sister, let’s not talk about this, okay”

"Brother, I've looked at the genealogy. The oldest a woman from the Long family has lived is only 30 years old. Do you also hope I don't live past 30"

“Nonsense!” Long Chengtian suddenly shouted, causing several people in the restaurant to turn their heads. Long Chengtian and Wen Nuan ignored them completely. Du Di persuaded him for a few words, and Long Chengtian suppressed his anger and said, “Little sister, let’s not talk about this, okay”

"You're all deceiving me," Wen Nuan gritted her teeth, "This is about me, and yet you bully me because I wasn't born in the Dragon Clan. You're all hiding the truth from me. This is my business, why won't you tell me"

"Then why didn't you tell Ye Feimo that you left so he could be healthy" Long Chengtian asked sharply.

A warmth filled her heart, igniting a spark of hope. Tears welled in her eyes as she overlooked the meaning behind Long Chengtian's words, and anxiously asked, "So, there's a way to break the curse, isn't there"

Looking through the family tree, I found it quite chilling how the women in my family suffered such cruel fates, always linked to curses that brought harm to themselves and others.

Long Chengtian secretly hated himself for breaking his promise. Wen Nuan was so clever, he couldn't hide it anymore. Thinking of Wushuang's sea blue heart, Long Chengtian felt uneasy and didn't want to speak. Wen Nuan repeatedly asked, Du Di said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back first."

From the restaurant to home, no one spoke.ss. Tang Shuwen hugged her up and sat her on his lap, smiling and encouraging her to take control of the rhythm. Chen Xue moved clumsily up and down. She was getting sore, but he quickly took over the...
