Wen Nuan had another nightmare that night. She dread of the blood-stained butterfly again. She woke up in a cold sweat. Ye Feimo pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. Wen Nuan was shaking all over. It took her a while to calm down.
"Feimo..."
"It’s okay, honey. It was just a nightmare."
---
Wen Nuan didn’t sleep all night. Her mind was restless. Ye Feimo held and comforted her for a long ti, but he couldn’t calm her down.
The next day, her mother asked Wen Nuan to go shopping. Wen Nuan wasn’t in the mood, but she didn’t want to ruin her mother’s day, so she went with her. Ye Feimo wanted to have the Dragon Gate spies look into the island, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
The island was strange, but he didn’t want to investigate further.
He would just let Wen Nuan believe that Long Xiushui was dead and let the matter end there.
When her mother left for a day, a grave appeared. If Long Xiushui was not dead but deliberately created the grave to mislead Wen Nuan, it ant she didn’t want to see her. Her mother loved Wen Nuan so much. A tiger would not eat its cub, so they wouldn’t harm Wen Nuan. If they didn’t want to see her, there must have been a good reason. He didn’t want Wen Nuan to have to face that.
Even if he found out that Long Xiushui was not dead, he might not be able to find out about the curse.
It was better to just let it go.
So things others didn’t want Wen Nuan to know, and he also didn’t want her to know. They were all doing it for her own good.
Her mother was a very ticulous person. Ye Feimo really felt like he had misjudged her before. He had always thought she was just a simple housewife who was spoiled as a child and then by her husband. He never thought she could be so decisive and calm when it ca to Wen Nuan. There were no flaws and no signs of worry. Ye Feimo didn’t know what to say about her.
The three of them stayed in Athens for a few days. Wen Nuan beca quieter and quieter. She rarely spoke and didn’t smile anymore.
The dia in China had changed their tune. Soone had taken pictures of Ye Feimo and Wen Nuan traveling together and posted them online. Originally, the news of their divorce was everywhere, and everyone said it was a done deal. But now, photos of them traveling together in Athens had co out, and the dia had changed their tune, saying that the two of them were in a loving relationship and that their love was stronger than gold.
Wen Nuan knew about this because Cai Xiaojing had told her.
She didn’t feel any particular way about it. Her reputation in the industry wasn’t very good now. Even though she was the second young mistress of the Ye family, many advertisers had canceled their contracts with her because of her previous scandals. Her influence was not as strong as it used to be. Too many scandals always had an impact on her reputation, and even the powerful Ye family couldn’t silence everyone.
The trip to Athens didn’t help the couple’s relationship much. When they returned, Wen Nuan still didn’t have any intention of getting back together, and she went back to her parents’ house.
Her father and Cheng Anya ca to the airport to pick them up. They were all tired from the long flight, so they didn’t have dinner together. Wen Nuan and her mother went ho with her father, and Cheng Anya took Ye Feimo ho.
On the way, Cheng Anya smiled and asked, "So, my son, it doesn’t look like you two made much progress."
Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow. "It’s not that we didn’t make any progress. I was so shalessly persistent that there had to be so improvent. At least Wen Nuan isn’t giving the cold shoulder. At least I know... she doesn’t want a divorce."
Cheng Anya praised him. "Well done. Better than I expected."
Ye Feimo smiled slightly. He didn’t ntion that Wen Nuan knew about the curse. He felt that this was sothing he and his wife could solve on their own and didn’t need to involve his parents. Cheng Anya smiled and looked at Ye Feimo. She was happy to see that he looked very refreshed.
It seed that he had gained a lot from this trip.
"Did you find Du Yueying?" Ye Feimo asked.
Cheng Anya nodded. "We found her. There’s no one your brother can’t find. But that girl is very clever. She was planning on coming to A City, but when she found out that the First Terrorist Organization was looking for her, she went into hiding. And Du Di’s grandfather asked the Zhang family to step in. You know your brother’s relationship with the Zhang family. He had to show them so respect."
"So you let her go back to the Du family?" Ye Feimo’s face imdiately darkened. He was furious. He would never be okay with letting Du Yueying go just like that.
"The Du family has to hand her over. I’ll talk to the Zhang family and tell them not to interfere," Cheng Anya said. "There’s no need to make two families unhappy over one Du Yueying. The best solution is for the Du family to discipline her properly."
After all, the baby was gone. Killing Du Yueying wouldn’t bring the baby back. Besides, Du Yueying’s plotting was just the fuse; the baby was lost because of sothing he and his wife had done.
Cheng Anya’s temper wasn’t as sharp as it was when she was young. Decades had passed, and her sharp edges had long been worn down. She also didn’t want to get involved with the Du and Long families. She and Wen Nuan shared the sa worry: they didn’t want to anger Du Yueying and bring disaster to Ye Feimo.
As a mother, nothing was more important than her children’s safety.
Ye Feimo was very busy after he ca back. Wen Nuan was still not going out and wasn’t participating in any events. Cai Xiaojing didn’t force her to appear in public. Ye Feimo had been in Athens for so long that a lot of work had piled up. On top of that, he had to deal with Du Yueying. He was so busy that he lost track of ti.
He spent several nights at the company and didn’t go back to the Ye family ho or the house he shared with Wen Nuan. It was empty and lonely. He didn’t like that feeling, so he just stayed at work.
Cheng Anya called him a few tis to tell him to rest and eat properly, but Ye Feimo just agreed and didn’t listen to her.
Wen Nuan ca downstairs early in the morning. Wen Jing called her over to watch TV. It was a live broadcast of Ye Feimo at an international cancer foundation event. The Ye family was known for its charity work, and Wen Nuan had also participated in this charity event. Wen Jing was watching with great interest. Wen Nuan smiled and patted her head. "Haven’t you seen your brother-in-law before?"
"He’s handso, so of course I have to look at him more," Wen Jing said mischievously, blinking her eyes.
He was indeed very handso. He had lost a lot of weight recently, but it didn’t take away from his dignified aura.
"Sister, when are you going to forgive your brother-in-law?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just watch the news."
"What do you an, ’little kid’? I’m old enough to be in a relationship," Wen Jing said, puffing out her chest and looking like a grown woman. Wen Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She was about to go to the kitchen to get so juice when she saw a chaotic scene on the TV. Her face changed dramatically.
Ye Feimo had fainted!
