Chapter 405: The Burden of a Curse
No matter how malicious Du Yueying’s words were, Wen Nuan could endure them because the most important thing to her right now was not to let Ye Feimo know the truth about the hotel, nor to let him know she was innocent, nor to mourn the loss of her baby. It was the curse. She was only twenty-one, but Ye Feimo was already twenty-six. There wasn’t much time left.
She believed in the curse from the bottom of her heart.
She wanted everyone to be safe and out of harm’s way.
"Miss Du, what do you want me to do so that you will tell me how to break this curse?" Wen Nuan asked.
Du Yueying laughed maliciously. "I want to see your reputation ruined and you leave the Ye family. Only then will I be satisfied."
Wen Nuan thought Du Yueying had a very serious mental illness. A normal woman would not try to destroy someone else’s family over a small matter like a dress. It was simply insane.
*Wait...* Wen Nuan felt that something was wrong. Du Yueying was an extremely smart woman. She had been in a lot of arguments with people. It wasn’t possible that she would try to destroy the life of every person she argued with.
She was specifically targeting her.
A thought flashed through Wen Nuan’s mind, and she suddenly smiled. "Miss Du, I think I might not need your help. You know, Dudi must know. I’ll just ask Dudi."
"Shut up! I forbid you from going to my brother," Du Yueying’s voice suddenly became sharp and hysterical. Wen Nuan’s lips curled up, then she frowned. Du Yueying and Dudi...
Her attitude was very strange. It didn’t seem like a sister talking to her brother. It was more like...
"Don’t think that just because my brother likes you, you can do whatever you want. I’m telling you, it’s not going to happen," Du Yueying said with a sneer.
Wen Nuan said calmly, "Then it’s simple. Just tell me how to break it."
"I don’t know. I was just tricking you, you idiot."
Wen Nuan thought of her lost baby, and a cold look flashed in her eyes. "I forgot to tell you that I’m with your brother right now."
With that, she hung up the phone.
A moment after she hung up, Du Yueying called again. Wen Nuan ignored it. Just then, Dudi came back with some things. Wen Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. She answered the call but put the phone aside.
"Dudi, what did you get me?" she asked with a smile. Dudi was a little surprised. When he left, she was in a bad mood, but now she was in a good mood. Maybe she was really hungry.
"Cake and milk tea. There’s not much good food around here. I remember you like chocolate and matcha, so I bought both. See which one you like," Dudi said, sitting down beside her.
Wen Nuan took them. "Dudi, did you get these for me because you knew I was your fiancée, so you’re being so nice to me?"
Dudi shook his head. "Am I being nice to you?"
Wen Nuan nodded. "Yes, very nice!"
"That’s because you’re Wen Nuan, not because you’re my fiancée. I only found out not long ago," Dudi said with a gentle laugh. The lines on his face were very soft. He was graceful and noble like a bamboo.
Wen Nuan glanced at the phone screen. Du Yueying had already hung up. Wen Nuan sneered. That woman was jealous and so worried about Dudi. She would definitely come to A City. She didn’t believe that Du Yueying could stay calm.
She quietly put her phone away and took a small bite of the cake. For the past few days, her mother had been making her drink soup, even though she didn’t drink much. Her mother wouldn’t let her eat anything cold. But now that she was eating it, she had a good appetite and finished both pieces of cake.
"I thought you wouldn’t have much of an appetite. I should have bought more," Dudi said with a smile. He was happy to see her eating. Wen Nuan pursed her lips and shook her head. She couldn’t eat anymore.
The two of them talked about a few other things. Dudi asked her what she planned to do in the future. Wen Nuan lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
Dudi understood. "You don’t want to leave Ye Feimo, do you?"
Wen Nuan smiled. "At this point, it’s not a matter of whether I want to or not. There have always been problems between us, but we both pretended there weren’t and just kept up appearances. This incident was the fuse that led to this tragedy. We’re both at fault. Maybe we’re just not compatible. Feimo has been hurt by a relationship before, and I’m in the entertainment industry. He doesn’t approve of my career, and he’s even started to lose trust in me. And I’m not willing to give up my career. It was only a matter of time before a problem arose because we didn’t have a common understanding. I just never expected it to come so quickly or that the price would be so painful. What happened at the hotel is a thorn in his heart. If he hadn’t accidentally pushed me and I hadn’t had a miscarriage, he would have felt guilty and regretted it. He doesn’t want to bring it up for now, but once my pain is healed, he will think about it again, and it will be a thorn in his heart. I don’t know how to solve our problems, so divorce is the best option for both of us. I really love him and want to give him happiness, but unfortunately, it seems I’m not capable of doing so. I always bring him unhappiness."
When she talked about divorce, Wen Nuan’s voice was clearly much softer. Her eyes welled up with tears, but they didn’t fall. She had been holding them back. For the past few days, she hadn’t dared to cry in front of people. She only dared to cry secretly at night, mourning her dead baby and her soon-to-be-dead marriage.
Dudi gave her a tissue and said gently, "Wen Nuan, you can talk to Ye Feimo. Divorce isn’t the only option. If you love each other, why break up? It takes a lot of luck to be able to get married. You shouldn’t make such a rushed decision. Maybe Mr. Ye Feimo doesn’t want a divorce. You think you only bring him unhappiness, but he might not think that. Maybe he thinks you bring him endless happiness. You should believe in yourself."
"Can we still be happy?" Wen Nuan looked at him, her eyes red. Her pale face had no color. "We’re already in two different worlds. There’s so much hurt and so many conflicts between us. I can’t pretend that nothing happened. I don’t want to live a life of keeping up appearances. Dudi, a marriage isn’t supposed to be like this. It’s not supposed to be like this..."
Dudi hesitated for a moment and gently hugged her. Wen Nuan held back her sobs as if she had found the most trusted harbor where she could rest and cry, and let all her sadness and grievances out.
"You need to think carefully and not make a decision you’ll regret," Dudi said. He wanted Wen Nuan to follow her heart and really think about what she wanted.
He knew in his heart that Wen Nuan had said so much about the problems between her and Ye Feimo, and they were real, but the most important reason was the curse.
"Come with me," Dudi said after a long time, finally making up his mind.
