He didn't blame her, only finding her more adorable.

In the end, it was he who was late.

Even though he was her fiancé, he arrived too late in her life. Du Di was confident that if Warm had met him before Ye Feimo, he wouldn't have been late. Unfortunately...

The timing wasn't on his side.

He couldn't blame others.

Seeing a trace of pain in Du Di's eyes, Warm found it hard to speak up. Du Di smiled and asked, "Do you have something to tell me"

Warm felt guilty as she lowered her head. The charm in Du Di’s eyes dimmed bit by bit. Gathering her courage, the girl spoke calmly: "Du Di, I'm not the right person for you; don't wait for me anymore."

Du Di bitterly smiled, "Even if it means quietly waiting for you like this, you still don’t want that"

"I don't want to lie to you, Du Di. Although feelings are a matter of mutual willingness, I can't bear the thought of making you wait knowing that I cannot fall in love with anyone else again. What's the point of waiting for me when you know this It’s wrong for you to think your feelings justify ignoring how I feel. How could I ignore my own feelings I know you’ve done a lot for me and treated me very well, but it makes me more exhausted. I wish I could repay you even a little, but I can't. You’re a good man who is kind to many women, perhaps even more of a prince charming to them than Ye Feimo, the ideal husband they dream of. But I belong to Ye Feimo for this lifetime and beyond, though we are separated now. My heart still lies with him. If he doesn’t survive, I don’t know what state I'll be in. If he can live healthily, watching his happiness throughout my life would satisfy me. I don't want to carry on the burden of love anymore, so Du Di, please let me go."

Emotions cannot be right or wrong; she couldn't bear delaying Du Di any longer either. She had repeatedly told him not to wait for her and that she didn’t love him, but Du Di stubbornly continued waiting, knowing he would get hurt.

Just as she knew Ye Feimo would suffer from her actions, yet remained stubborn in hurting him and leaving him.

She was already suffering enough inside and didn’t want to bear any more.

Even if someone else willingly offered, she still wouldn’t accept.

Tu Di’s deep eyes were covered with a thin layer of pain. Warm had not been the first time expressing her attitude; these words did not catch him off guard, but they still made him feel hurt...

A dull ache.

He had never felt this kind of pain until now, and it was brought on by her.

Was this how she rejected him

"I understand," Tu Di said. He was a gentleman who always maintained his composure, smiling slightly and politely, "From today onwards, we’ll be friends. I will keep to the boundaries of friendship, and we won’t mention our past any longer, okay"

Warm smiled, "Thank you."

Tu Di raised his glass, lowered his eyes as he took a sip, not allowing the bitterness in his eyes to show. The once sweet red wine now tasted bitter, just like his mood.

A layer of sourness and bitterness welled up in Warm’s heart as she silently apologized to Tu Di.

When someone you love does something for you—even if it’s as simple as taking your bag from your hands—it feels sweet. But when a man who doesn’t love you does everything he can, all you feel is gratitude and nothing else.

Warm suddenly realized why she had never loved Duo Di.

He was too rational; even in such moments, he remained a courteous gentleman, concealing his emotions so well that it amounted to him not needing her at all. He could handle everything on his own.

He always gave her the impression of being clean and logical, leaving her without a sense that Duo Di needed her even a little bit.

But Fei Mo was different.

Ye Fei Mo, though also rational, occasionally acted like a big child in front of her. Although he always seemed to control their relationship, she could deeply feel his need for her. For instance, when he had an episode of stomach pain and appeared incredibly vulnerable, despite usually being so strong-willed, he needed her protection then.

Just as that time when she was upset and made him clean the floor; seeing her smile, he cleaned every corner immaculately to win a smile from her. How could one not be moved and care for such a man, even if he had a bad temper or was suspicious and unpredictable She felt happy with him.

Duo Di probably couldn't do these things.

Or perhaps she wasn't the right person for Duo Di. That’s why he always remained so rational in her presence; there were more responsibilities between them than genuine affection, liking rather than love before, and duty after learning about her identity.

Unfortunately, she didn’t need that.

Right now, she sincerely wished Duo Di could meet a girl who would have the playful side unique to future Mrs. Duo Di.

When Long Chengtian returned and sensed something was amiss between them, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened Why are you both so silent"

warm said it was time to ask them while they were all present, "Brother Chu, Didi, can't we find a way to break the curse on our family"

Didi and Long Chengtian exchanged glances; both their expressions changed slightly. No one spoke, but Warm saw a hint of hope in that brief moment.

"Is there any way" Warm asked anxiously, her pale face seeming to glow with excitement.

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

"Brother Chu, I've seen the family records. The longest living woman in our family was only 30 years old. Do you want me to live no longer than that"

"Nonsense!" Long Chengtian shouted abruptly; many people in the restaurant turned around to look at them. Long Chengtian and his group paid no attention, but Didi tried to calm things down for a moment. Then Long Chengtian said, "Little sister, let's not talk about this issue anymore."

"You're all lying to me," Warm gritted her teeth, saying, "It’s clearly something related to me. You’re taking advantage of the fact that I wasn’t raised in the Dragon family from a young age and therefore don't know everything. Why won't you tell me about my own matters"

"Then why didn't you tell Ye Feimo that your leaving was for his health" Long Chengtian asked sharply.

Warm felt hope rise in her heart; tears welled up in her eyes as she ignored the meaning behind Long Chengtian's words and hurriedly asked, "So there is a way to break the curse then"

After reading the family records, Warm couldn't understand why their women’s fates were so harsh, always tied to curses that harmed others and themselves.

Long Chengtian secretly cursed himself for his slip of tongue; with her intelligence, he could no longer keep anything from her. He recalled Wu Shuang's Sea Blue Heart and felt an unease deep in his heart, making him even more unwilling to speak. As Warm continued pressing the issue, Didi said, "This isn't a place to talk about this. Let’s go back first."NimiaoHe had a great talent for jewelry and clothing.
