Chapter 363

ing generation gaps just because we're not togetherThis is quite scary, isn't itCheng Anya said with a smile, "Stalking and nagging really works wonders on Nuwan."Her nature was too easy to manipulate...Chapter 363

"That's because you're kind and warm, not because you're my fiancée. I just found out about this recently." Dou Dixin chuckled gently, his facial lines softening, looking as elegant as jade and refined like bamboo.

Wenran glanced at her phone screen; Dou Yueying had hung up already. Wenran sneered inwardly, knowing that woman was jealous and so protective of Dou Dixi, she would definitely come to A City. She didn't believe Dou Yueying could keep calm.

She nonchalantly put away her phone and ate the cake in small bites. These days, Mother Wen had been feeding her tonics. Though she hadn't drunk much, even cold things like this cake were forbidden by Mother Wen. The first bite tasted good to her; she finished both pieces of cake.

"I thought your appetite wouldn’t be very good. If I knew that earlier, I would have bought more." Dou Dixin said with a smile, pleased to see her eating. Wenran pursed her lips and shook her head, unable to eat any more.

The two of them talked about some matters; Dou Dixin asked what she planned on doing in the future. Wenran lowered her head and didn’t respond.

Dou Dixin understood, "Don't you want to leave Ye Feimo"

Wenran smiled, "At this point, it's not about whether I want to or not; there have always been problems between us. We've just pretended they don’t exist and tried to maintain a peaceful facade. This incident is the trigger that led to such tragedy, and we’re both at fault. Perhaps our personalities really aren't compatible. Feimo has suffered emotional pain in his past, while I come from show business, which he doesn’t approve of. He’s lost trust in me, but I don’t want to give up my career. Without mutual understanding, problems were bound to arise sooner or later; it just happened faster than I expected and the cost is too painful. The incident at the hotel has already become a thorn in his heart. If he hadn't pushed me down the stairs accidentally causing my miscarriage, he would feel guilty and regretful, so he's temporarily unwilling to pursue this matter. But once I’m healed, it will resurface, becoming another thorn in his heart. I don’t know how to solve our problems; divorce seems like the best option for both of us. I truly love him and want to give him happiness. Unfortunately, it appears I lack that capability, always bringing him sadness.

"

When talking about divorce, her tone was clearly lower than before, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling. She had been holding them back; these days she didn’t dare to cry in front of others, only weeping secretly at night alone, mourning the dead child and their dying marriage.

Tu Di handed her a tissue and said gently, "Warming, you can talk to Ye Feimo. Divorce is not the only option; if you love each other, why break up People who become spouses have accumulated good karma over several lifetimes—there's no need to make such hasty decisions. Perhaps Mr. Ye Feimo doesn't actually want a divorce. You think you've brought him nothing but unhappiness, but he might not see it that way. He may feel that you bring him endless happiness. Believe in yourself."

"Can we still be happy" Warming looked at him with red-rimmed eyes; her pale face was even more bloodless. "I am already a world apart from him, and so much pain lies between us, as well as so many conflicts. I can't pretend nothing happened. I don’t want to spend my life pretending everything is fine. Du Di, that's not how it works for spouses…"

Tu Di hesitated for a moment before gently embracing her. Warming stifled her sobs, feeling as though she had found the most trusted haven where she could safely pause and cry, pouring out all her frustrations and grievances.

"You need to think clearly; don't make choices that you will regret," Tu Di said, trying his best to encourage Warming to follow her heart and carefully consider what she truly wanted.

Deep down, he knew that though Warming had talked about so many issues with Ye Feimo, the most significant reason was the curse.

"Come with me," after much deliberation, Tu Di finally made up his mind.

Raising her head in surprise to look at Tu Di, Warming didn’t understand why he would make such a request. The man’s eyes were like warm spring water that could melt one's heart; they were sincere and tender with an affection she had never seen before from him. Her breath caught in her throat, startled—when did Du Di start to feel this way about her She hadn't noticed at all.

Up until now, she had always treated Tu Di as a good friend, with no reservations between them because he behaved just like one toward her and never overstepped boundaries. They were comfortable together; Warming had never felt that Du Di liked her, only thought they got along well, especially since they didn't see each other much anyway.

Now it was clear—Tu Di clearly liked her.

When did this start She had no idea at all, completely unaware.

She knew that Ye Fei Mo was very sensitive about Du Di's existence. She always thought it wasn't a big deal to have a male friend, and that Ye Fei Mo was overreacting. There once was an occasion where she talked on the phone with Du Di, and Ye Fei Mo said, "Just because you don’t harbor feelings for Du Di doesn’t mean he doesn’t have feelings for you." She didn't think much of it back then, but now she realized that Ye Fei Mo had noticed from early on.

Only she thought they were good friends.

Du Di smiled wryly and asked, "Are you surprised"

Wen Ran nodded. He smiled warmly, elegant as jade, pondering for a while before speaking with difficulty, "Wen Ran, though it might seem like I’m taking advantage of the situation and isn’t very gentlemanlike to say this, I still want to tell you that if you don't want to stay in City A, then come with me. You were originally my fiancée anyway; I am willing to take care of you. Even stepping back, you could be considered returning home. Don't you also want to go to the Long family I can help you."

It was also helping himself because he knew how deeply Wen Ran loved Ye Fei Mo. But no matter how deep feelings were, they would fade over time. Perhaps now that it was their most difficult moment as a couple, what he said did seem like taking advantage of the situation.

However, Wen Ran had already decided to leave Ye Fei Mo.

If Wen Ran hadn’t wanted to leave Ye Fei Mo and if she could be happy with Ye Fei Mo for life, he would have preferred not to say anything at all and ignore the curse.

But now, Wen Ran wasn't happy.

She wanted to leave. In that case, taking her away from suffering could be his responsibility.

"I don't expect you to return anything or demand that we be together. I just hope that if you want to leave, I can take you away as a good friend or like a younger sister and care for you," Dudi said sincerely. The affection he felt for Du Yueying was nowhere near the depth of his feelings for Warmth; he liked this woman, with emotions intertwined with both love and familial warmth. Perhaps due to his upbringing from childhood, he had always treated his fiancée as his wife.

Warmth held her cup of milk tea in her hand, lowering her head seemingly lost in thought. Dudi felt a bit anxious, afraid that she would reject him outright; knowing Warmth's character, he dared not show any hint of love towards her for fear it might jeopardize their friendship.

"Dudi, I'm just your nominal fiancée; you don't need to do this," Warmth said as she raised her head to look at him. "Really, don’t you think I’m a burden"

"No!" Dudi softened his gaze and his tone carried a hint of tenderness. "I see Warmth as someone who brings joy to others; I enjoy being with you and want to take care of you for the rest of my life, regardless of whether you are my fiancée or not. For many years, I've always viewed myself as having a family because my parents warned me early on that I had an engaged woman whom I should find and never love anyone else; thus, I’ve been searching for you. Deep down, I’ve felt it natural to care for and cherish the woman who would be my wife, just like how my father cared for my mother. Before knowing you were my fiancée, I treated you well because I liked you—I intended to court you but then discovered that you were married, so I gave up on that idea. If you weren’t married, I’d compete fairly with Ye Feimo for your affection. But now that you are, I wouldn't want to disrupt your happiness. After learning about our engagement, my feelings remained unchanged; hence, I didn’t tell you anything back then. Warmth, all I care about is seeing you happy; who you’re with doesn’t matter. Even after we start a relationship, if being with me makes you unhappy or if someone else captures your heart, you can leave anytime. Now, I only want to help you overcome this shadow and begin anew. And yes, I know there are many puzzles in your life that you wish to resolve."

His words were logical, tender and sincere; Warmth was moved by his sincerity. She had never known Dudi thought of her like this, nor did she realize he silently loved her with care.

However...

"Sorry, Dudi, I can't accept it," Warmth said with a light smile. "I'm leaving Ye Feimo but don’t necessarily need to be with anyone else; even if I leave him, I wouldn't want to hurt him deeply. If you and I were together because of me leaving Feimo, how could that not devastate him Even if we aren’t together, I wouldn’t harm him—I simply wish...

For him to survive.

I won’t leave City A either; this is where I was born and raised. Here lies all my beautiful memories and happiness, every joy and sorrow, all within these city walls—leaving would be impossible for me."ghts kept flashing – what a warm family of three! Who said they were getting divorcedAfter sitting for a while, Wenran got up with Tianzong in her arms. Ye Feimo took over and held his son as the trio...
