She was an actress who had to maintain her figure, and she always drank tea to keep in shape. There were all sorts of teas and teaware at home, but he never liked drinking tea. Sometimes, however, he would watch her brew and taste tea.

They say that women who can brew and appreciate tea are good-natured, refined, and gentle. She indeed had a scholarly air about her; watching her focus intently on brewing tea was always an enjoyable experience.

He enjoyed the feeling of watching her brew and taste tea but rarely drank with her.

After their divorce, he developed a love for tea and often used her teaware at home, mimicking how she brewed and tasted it. He savored the bitterness and fragrance of the tea, enjoying what she enjoyed, making him feel closer to her.

In one year of marriage, his understanding of her seemed limited, and he had little interest in sharing her hobbies.

Drinking her tea and thinking about her made him feel better inside, with more hope and a hint of happiness.

A momentary silence fell between them; neither knew what to say to break the quietness.

Warmth lowered her head and remained silent. Ye Feimo had finished his tea again and poured himself another cup. Warmth couldn't help but say, "Your stomach isn't good; don't drink so much tea."

He had already drunk half a pot of tea and hadn't eaten dinner yet. Drinking this way would make him feel unwell later. Unable to restrain herself, Warmth wanted to ask him how his health was when she was at the Washington Hospital, whether his stomach cancer had improved.

But she dared not ask.

Fearing that others might know about her still loving him.

Ye Feimo glanced at her and pursed his lips without saying a word. The aroma of tea wafted gently through the air. Warmth tried to find something to talk about but didn't know what to say to Ye Feimo. As divorced spouses, her deliberate distance and cruel words rendered any warm conversation meaningless now.

She awkwardly lowered her head, silent and speechless.

Ye Feimo was never a talkative person; at this moment, he wished nobody had to speak. He feared that if he acted on impulse again, he might say something that would embarrass Nuanwan, causing her to leave angrily. He rarely had such an opportunity to spend time with Nuanwan quietly and enjoy tea together without missing out.

He always couldn't control his sharp tongue. Sometimes, he even hated himself for it because he could be harsh towards anyone else but not towards Nuanwan...

"Oh right, when are you going home" Nuanwan asked with a somewhat awkward smile as she tried to act natural but felt increasingly clumsy.

“Home” Ye Feimo sneered inwardly. A sarcastic remark nearly slipped out of his mouth, but he held it back and replied coolly, "The day after tomorrow."

Nuanwan hummed in response, falling silent again.

"Why are you here drinking tea" Ye Feimo asked proactively.

With a slight smile, Nuanwan said, “Today everyone is free to celebrate, so we were singing downstairs. I came up for some tea since my throat isn't feeling well. What about you”

"Coincidence," Ye Feimo replied simply. He realized she was still having fun without him even when he wasn’t there, suggesting that only he was trapped in the past's pain and couldn't extricate himself.

Nuanwan noticed his displeased expression but didn’t know what to say.

Feimo, how can I make you happier

In the past, she could coax him into submission by acting spoiled or aggrieved. But now it seemed impossible as they were no longer in the same place. She really wanted to ask about that phone call on Christmas Day but didn't know how.

Given his pride, it was already difficult for him to say those words; if she pressed further, he might get furious and ashamed.

Does he really miss her

Judging from his appearance, it doesn't seem like he's thinking about her. Warm smiled bitterly to herself; didn't she know Ye Feimo well enough He had always been insincere with words and expressions, but what was in his heart could be entirely different.

Warm felt a bit sad; the deadlock between them couldn't be broken.

There were too many things standing between them, leaving both of them at their wits' end.

Ye Feimo deeply inhaled the aroma of tea. After the divorce, this was the first time they had interacted so calmly. What made Warm change her attitude and become less cold Was it because of that phone call on Christmas night

If it was, why hadn't she called him back afterward, not even uttering a single word now

Was her initiative to reach out an indication that she wanted to come back to him Ye Feimo felt angry; he really was being cheap, insisting on having Warm alone. There were beautiful and kind women in the world who surpassed Warm in many ways. Why did he fall for Warm

Back then when Han Bi left, he had never thought of begging her to come back so desperately. He had never thought about asking a woman to love him except for Warm.

If lowering himself could move Warm's heart and make her return to his side, he would beg her.

He was already prepared to give up everything; why wouldn't she even give him the slightest hope

Even if it was just a glimmer of hope, he would try.

He had begged her on the phone to come back.

Wasn't that enough

To be in such a lowly state, what else does she expect

"Have you been very busy lately" Warmth didn't have anything to talk about with Ye Feimo, so she asked casually. If he wasn’t busy, he wouldn’t go abroad for work during the New Year.

"Not busy." Ye Feimo replied coldly.

He knew what Warmth was thinking, but how could she know that he wasn't actually busy at all He came to America just because she didn't answer his call on Christmas Day. He wanted to see her once.

Hurriedly wanting to see her once, especially after meeting Xu Wenhui, the urge became even more urgent.

Warmth's face alternated between clear and confused expressions, biting her lip slightly; Feimo wasn't willing to talk about his career or marriage, so what else could they discuss She never knew that silence was so painful.

"Are you spending the New Year alone in America this year"

Warmth shook her head. "I'll be going to Long Villa with my brother in a few days."

Ye Feimo frowned and scoffed, unable to resist scolding Warmth: "They say it’s better to nurture kindness than to repay debts of gratitude; your parents have raised you for nothing."

The color drained from Warmth's face as she bit her lip hard. How could he know that her closeness with Long Chengtian was not only due to blood ties, but also because she wanted to find out about the curse, and who did it all for

Why did he have to portray her in such a negative light

As soon as Ye Feimo spoke those words, he regretted them. Genius, you really are a genius.
