Du Di looked at the warm room in surprise, then turned angry. This thoughtless girl, Ying Ying, actually told Warm these things; no wonder she came to him for verification. What else did she say

"What else did Ying Ying tell you"

Seeing Du Di's expression, Warm was deeply shaken and nervously grabbed the sleeve of his robe. "Tell me this isn’t true, it can't be true. Why am I destined to marry someone who won't live past thirty It doesn't make sense! And what about the curse on my butterfly tattoo on my shoulder Du Di, tell me, I don’t want to be left in confusion. What is going on"

Du Di gently held her hand; despite the hot weather, it was ice cold. Warm must really be worried about Ye Feimo to rush over like this. Looking at her anxious expression, Du Di thought she was truly a kind woman; the heavens were unfair, making her suffer so much.

"What else have you found out"

Warm stiffened. "Is there anything I don't know"

Du Di sighed; it seemed he couldn’t keep things from her anymore. Holding her cold hand, he softly said, “I originally didn’t want to tell you these things, but since Ying Ying has told you, I won’t hide them from you. Yes, your original surname is Long...”

Du Di recounted the history of enmity and reconciliation between the three families—Long, Du, and Bai—and then narrated events from over twenty years ago when Warm was still a child who had no recollection of anything at all. Yet somehow she felt deeply that everything he said was true.

She didn’t know why but believed him wholeheartedly. And when he mentioned the curse, her heart stirred, recalling the bloody butterfly in her dream. The direction of the birthmark on her shoulder felt scorching hot, like a fire burning inside; it was very uncomfortable. She forced herself not to think about that terrifying scene again and only then did she feel slightly better.

Curses.

Dudi asked her that day if she believed in fate and curses

Said she didn't believe in fate, but believed in curses.

In her subconscious, she did believe.

"You said the Aegean Sea" Warm's warm gaze narrowed. The Aegean Sea... every September, shortly after her birthday, her mommy would definitely go to Athens alone... Dad had never gone with her; she would stay for one or two months, saying it was to visit a friend. Warm heard Mom talk about this friend for many years, always describing her as smart, kind, beautiful, and capable. In Warm's memory, Mom's friend was like a goddess, seemingly without any flaws.

But she had never seen Mom's friend.

Her birthday was approaching, and her mother's ticket to Athens was already booked long ago. This year was no exception; despite the major event that happened to her, making her unconcerned about celebrating her birthday, she hadn't heard her mom say she wouldn’t go to Athens this time.

Who is she visiting Who exactly is this friend

Could it be the descendant of the Long Family mentioned by Dudi Her birth mother

If so, why hadn't she come to see her

If so, why haven't there been any messages all along.

Too many questions were hidden in her heart, making her instantly confused. She didn’t know what to believe and what not to believe, but after calming down, it seemed that everything was insignificant.

"Is there a solution to this curse Apart from leaving him, is there any other way" Ruan Wen asked Du Di, feeling very nervous with cold sweat on her forehead.

Du Di shook his head and said, "I don’t know."

Ruan Wen’s face turned ashen pale. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she curled the corners of her lips in a half-smile, leaned against the long bench, and stopped talking. It seemed that no topic could interest her anymore.

Du Di explained everything about the Long family to Ruan Wen as clearly as possible.

"There are people who can live past thirty years old..."

“Yes,” Du Di said, smiling at Ruan Wen and reaching out once again to hold her hand. “Wenrui, do you know You were my fiancée even when you were still in your mother’s womb. Your mom and mine have been very close friends since childhood, so they arranged our engagement early on. Back then, I was quite looking forward to having a little sister when I saw Aunt Long pregnant.”

"Fiancée" Ruan Wen looked at Du Di in surprise. This point wasn’t mentioned by Dou Yuying; Du Di guessed that Dou Yuying hadn't said it either. He might as well finish explaining everything: "Wu Shuang saw your beautiful butterfly tattoo and got one herself, which my parents noticed. So I guessed that they know about the butterfly thing, but I don’t know anything about it myself. I do know a lot about the Long family and also know about the butterfly curse, but there’s no record of the butterfly birthmark."

He glanced at Ruan Wen with a smile. "Did you know The daughters in the Long family will never show their birthmarks to others; they keep them hidden tightly even on hot days. Only very few people can see it, so I knew that there was a butterfly birthmark somewhere on the body of the Long family’s heir but didn’t know where exactly. When I saw the butterfly on your shoulder back then, I didn’t think much about it and never connected it to this birthmark thing, considering how many people get tattoos these days."

warm smile, birthmark...

Indeed, who would have thought of such a thing.

"Is there really no way to break the curse" Warm asked mournfully. She never expected to encounter something like this; she wished it was her own life that was cursed to end before thirty rather than her husband's.

Du Di didn't speak, and Warm’s expression turned somber.

"You're solely concerned about Ye Feimo, but have you thought about yourself" Du Di asked. It was clear she was heartbroken and distressed over losing their child. Although both of them were at fault, Warm's grief wasn’t any less than Ye Feimo’s. She could forgive so quickly; all she cared about now was whether or not Ye Feimo would die. How much she loved him! Yet this side of her also tugged at people's hearts.

She endured every hardship and pain, remembered good things while forgetting bad ones, and treated everyone with kindness.

"There are priorities in life; compared to one’s life, anything else is insignificant," Warm said indifferently as she gazed at the happy children playing nearby and smiled faintly. "Look how joyfully they’re laughing—every single person only has one life."

Du Di remained silent, and Warm understood his meaning—that there was no way to break the curse.

She clenched her fist tightly then let it go, her expression calm.

"I want to learn more about the Long family. Can you tell me" Warm asked with a smile as she turned her head towards Du Di. He smiled in response; of course he could, since she was originally part of the Long family and had every right to know everything that concerned it.ght succumb to his drug addiction again or do something rash due to his aversion towards drugs, especially since their underworld presence in North America isn’t as strong as traditional gangs, nor do...
