When Warming took a warm bath, she特意仔細看了看自己身上的胎記，栩栩如生，當真是鮮豔至極，紋身做不到這樣的絕美精緻，心中悶悶的，當年母親的巫術為何冇有成功，是心中有牽掛，還是命中註定，不管是哪一種，都造成如今的結局了。

After the bath, she put on light makeup. Long Chengtian took her out for dinner. It was very cold today, so she wore thick clothes. Long Chengtian cherished her and held her close to shield her from the cold wind. During this period of time around the New Year, Long Chengtian had been taking Warming all over Moscow to try its delicacies. However, Warming didn’t particularly like Moscow’s dry and cold weather; she still preferred A City where it was warm year-round, even in winter.

She would spend a little more time with Long Chengtian before returning to A City.

During dinner, Warming recalled the afternoon phone call and told Long Chengtian about it. Long Chengtian was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "It might be Mother."

Among the women he knew, only Wu Shuang and his mother called him by his name; Wu Shuang would call him by both his given name and surname, while his mother called him Chengtian. Warming was taken aback, feeling a pang in her heart—she had just read Mother’s diary today and understood her hardships. Yet when Mother heard it was her on the phone, she hung up. She hung up…

She didn’t even ask why

Was it because she was the successor to the Long family Could that be the reason for her mother’s indifference towards her It wasn’t her fault, yet Warming pursed her lips, feeling somewhat upset; anyone in this situation would feel a little depressed.

"Little sister, don't overthink it. Mother was separated from you since childhood and is quite unfamiliar with you, so she doesn't know what to say to you. She truly misses you in her heart—don’t be sad," said Long Chengtian.

"She doesn't miss me or care about me. What she cares about should be something I don't care about. When we met, she didn't say anything to me and treated me like a stranger. Brother, I really can't understand why Mother dislikes me so much." Warmth asked in confusion. She hadn’t done anything terribly wrong, yet why did her mother dislike her so much She truly couldn’t figure it out.

If it were about the position of heir, that wasn’t something she could decide.

Warmth was a bit sad but didn't overly obsess over this matter. After all these years, their bond as mother and daughter had thinned considerably. In her heart, her mother would always be Mommy in the Wen family.

The favor of giving birth to someone wasn’t necessarily greater than that of raising them. Sometimes, familial ties didn't have much to do with blood relations; it all depended on their fate. The bond formed from living together for over a decade was better than having no contact and everything fading away after many years.

It seemed as if Long Chengtian had understood what Warmth was thinking, because he said indifferently, "Mother has lived a very difficult life. Not only do you not get along well with her; she's also quite cold toward me. She would only call me during the New Year and never invite me to stay when I visit. We don't know what to say to each other after meeting. She feels guilty and regrets, things we can't understand. Her coldness towards us might have its reasons. For all these years, she has lived on the island unwilling to believe that Father had passed away. She lives in their memories and doesn’t like being disturbed. Little sister, don't blame Mother; it really isn't easy for her."

Because of this, Long Chengtian didn’t hate his mother either.

Even though she hadn’t treated him well.

Warmth nodded and the two of them went home after dinner. It was only nine o'clock when they got back so it wasn't late. The butler said there was a phone call from Lady. Long Chengtian glanced at Warmth; she had originally planned to go upstairs, but then changed her mind and sat in the living room instead, asking the butler to bring her a cup of milk tea.

Long Chengtian called back Long Xiushui, and while listening to their conversation that sounded like small talk, Warmth realized how well-behaved Long Chengtian was when talking to his mother. His voice was gentle and calm, showing some concern for her.

The two were talking on the phone. Dragon Chengtian glanced at Warming, who raised an eyebrow. She then heard Dragon Chengtian say "yes". Warming thought that Long Xiushui must be asking whether Dragon Chengtian really recognized her.

"Mother, you can rest assured that I will take good care of my younger sister and won't let others bully her."

...

"I know, I know. Do you want to talk to her for a while..." Dragon Chengtian asked on the other end of the line, it seemed quiet for quite some time, Warming’s heart was lifted up, would Long Xiushui be willing to speak with her

She wasn’t sure; she was feeling anxious when she heard Dragon Chengtian say, "Alright, son understands. You rest well..."

Warming felt a wave of disappointment and slightly clenched her fingers. Long Xiushui didn't want to talk on the phone with her. She suddenly had an impulse to rush over and ask Long Xiushui why she hated her so much; if she hated her, then why did she give birth to her...

But in the end, she did nothing and sat there blankly on the sofa. The butler brought up a cup of milk tea which Warming held in her hands, but it couldn't warm her cold heart. She told herself not to care, not to care...

However, she really cared so much; she wanted her mother’s love as well.

The other side didn’t know what they were asking about either, and Dragon Chengtian said, "Sister has already divorced. She is currently single. Mother, the reason why my younger sister got divorced was because of knowing about the curse. However, she thought it through and plans to go back to her ex-husband. She no longer cares about the curse."

Long Xiushui didn't know what she said, but suddenly Long Chengtian shouted anxiously. Wenran raised her eyebrows, wondering what her birth mother had said to make her brother so agitated, perhaps he disapproved of her returning to Ye Feimo.

So what if he did She was determined to return now.

It's better to cherish the days ahead than to be separated and miss each other every day.

Long Chengtian dejectedly hung up the phone, looking at Wenran. She smiled faintly, "What did Mother say"

"She disapproves of you returning to Ye Feimo, saying she doesn't want the next generation to suffer," Long Chengtian said. "Mother also mentioned that there is no solution to the curse; in the future, if you have a daughter, you will understand what it feels like to worry about her all your life."

Wenran smiled bitterly; did she not want the next generation to suffer

Wasn't she from that very generation Wasn't she his mother's daughter She was already suffering, and did she fear that if she had a daughter who would be an heir like her, she would worry in vain for her entire life and cause her daughter to suffer as well

Such a cycle indeed was painful. But what could anyone say about the future About daughters...

Suspending her hand over her abdomen, she thought back; perhaps once she had conceived a girl but miscarried. Who knew if that would have been an heir
