In the end, it was I who arrived late.

Although she is my fiancée, I came into her life too late. Du Di is confident that if Warm had met him before Ye Feimo, he wouldn't have been late. Unfortunately...

The timing doesn't go his way.

He can't blame anyone else.

Seeing the pain in Du Di's eyes, the words she wanted to say became even harder to utter. Du Di smiled and said, "Do you have something you want to tell me"

Warm felt guilty and lowered her head. The sparkle in Du Di’s eyes dimmed bit by bit. Mustering up courage, Warm spoke calmly as a girl. She said, "Du Di, I'm not the right person for you. Please don't wait for me anymore."

Du Di smiled bitterly, "Even if I silently wait for you like this, you still won’t accept it"

"I don't want to lie to you, Du Di. Although feelings are mutual between two people, I can't bear the thought of you waiting for me when you know that I cannot love anyone else again. It's wrong to disregard my feelings and think that your willingness to wait for me is enough without considering how I feel about it. How could you not take into account my feelings I know how much you've done for me, and I also know that you treat me very well, but this makes me even more exhausted. I wish so much that I could repay you in some way, but I can't. You are a good person, a great man who is like a prince charming to many women. But I belong to Ye Feimo for the rest of my life, no matter how far apart we may be. My heart still lies with him. If he doesn’t survive, I don't know what kind of person I would become. If he can remain healthy and happy all his life, then watching him live a fulfilling life will satisfy me. I don't want to carry the burden of this relationship anymore. So, Du Di, I implore you, let me go."

Feelings cannot be right or wrong; she couldn’t bear to hold back Du Di any longer. She had repeatedly told Du Di not to wait for her since she didn't love him. But Du Di stubbornly continued waiting, knowing it would hurt him.

The same went for her when she knew that Ye Feimo would be devastated by her departure but still insisted on hurting him and leaving him.

She was already suffering enough inside without wanting to bear any more.

Even if others are willing, she doesn't want it.

Du Di's deep eyes were covered with a thin layer of pain. Warm had already clearly expressed her attitude before, but these words still caught him off guard and hurt...

A stifling ache.

This kind of pain was brought to him by her.

Does she reject him like this

"I understand," Du Di said. He is a gentleman, always maintaining his composure, with a faint smile and courteous mannerism, "From today on, we are just friends. I will stay within the boundaries of friendship and no longer mention our relationship. Is that alright"

Warm smiled, "Thank you."

Du Di raised his wine glass, lowered his eyes to take a sip, not allowing the bitterness in his eyes to show through. The previously sweet and fragrant red wine now seemed bitter, mirroring his mood.

A wave of sourness filled Warm's heart as she silently apologized to Du Di.

When someone you love makes an effort for you—be it taking the bag from your hand or feeling sweetly that you are spared hardship—it is beautiful. But when a man who doesn't love you makes all efforts, besides being touched, there’s nothing else one can feel.

Suddenly, Warm realized why she had never loved Du Di.

He was too rational; even at such a moment, he remained a courteous gentleman, hiding his emotions so well. To be honest, Dou Di didn't need her; he could handle all of his feelings on his own.

The way he acted around her always felt too clean and logical, leaving her with the impression that he had no need for her whatsoever.

But Nie Mo was different.

Although Ye Fei Mo was also rational, in front of her, he occasionally behaved like a big child. Even though he usually controlled their relationship, she could feel how much he needed her. Like when they confirmed their feelings for each other, and his stomach ailment flared up, leaving him in agony—his expression showed his vulnerability, making the usually strong man appear like a child who needed protection.

Another time, after she got angry at him and told him to clean the floor, seeing her smile made him scrub every inch of it spotlessly. How could one not be moved by such behavior Even if he had a bad temper, was suspicious, or moody, being with him still brought joy.

Those things were something Dou Di couldn't do.

Or perhaps she wasn't the right person for Dou Di. That's why he always remained so rational around her; their relationship felt more like a duty than love. Before, it was liking each other but not loving each other; once he learned of her identity, it turned into a responsibility.

Unfortunately, she didn't need that.

At this moment, she sincerely wished Dou Di would meet his girl who had the unscrupulous and childish side that only belonged to Mr. Future Mrs. Dou.

When Long Chengtian returned, sensing something strange about the atmosphere between them, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened Why are you all so silent"

Warming felt it was time to ask and took advantage of their presence to inquire, "Brother, Dou Di, can we really not break the curse on the Long family"

Tu Di and Long Chengtian exchanged glances, their expressions slightly unusual. Neither of them spoke; this was the first time Wen Ran had brought up this issue in front of them, and though it only lasted a moment, she sensed a flicker of hope.

"Is there a way" Wen Ran asked anxiously, her pale face lighting up with excitement.

Long Chengtian said, "Little sister, let's not talk about this issue, okay"

"Brother, I've looked at the family tree. The longest-lived woman in our family is only 30 years old. Don't you hope that I won't live past 30"

"Nonsense!" Long Chengtian suddenly barked out. Several people in the restaurant turned to look, but Long Chengtian and Wen Ran ignored them. Du Di tried to calm things down a bit, and Long Chengtian, after reigning in his temper, said, "Little sister, let's not talk about this."

"You're all lying to me," Wen Ran gritted her teeth and said. "Clearly, this is something related to me; you've been taking advantage of the fact that I wasn't raised in the Long family since childhood, so you've all been deceiving me. This concerns me, why won’t you tell me"

"Then why don’t you tell Ye Feimo that your leaving is for his health and well-being" Long Chengtian sharply countered.

A glimmer of hope arose in Wen Ran's heart, her eyes brimming with tears. She ignored the underlying meaning behind Long Chengtian’s words and asked urgently, "So there really is a way to break the curse, right"

Wen Ran had examined the family tree but was unable to comprehend why the women in their family were treated so harshly, as if they all had curses hanging over them that hurt both themselves and others.

Long Chengtian secretly berated himself for his slip of tongue; Wen Ran was too shrewd for him to keep secrets from her. Recalling Wu Shuang’s blue sapphire heart, an unease settled in his heart, making him even more reluctant to speak. With Wen Ran persistently pressing the issue, Du Di said, "This isn’t a place for such talk; let's go back first."

The journey from the restaurant to their home was made in silence.Feimo was taken to the hospital. Blacky called Cheng Anya to inform her that since a doctor had accompanied Ye Feimo on the entire flight, his condition wasn't too severe. Upon arriving here, he recei...
