The clock strikes midnight, it's 12 o'clock, Valentine's Day has passed, Cinderella has woken up from her dream, there is no glass slipper left, only a scarred heart, shattered and can no longer be mended.
The rain outside the window suddenly started to rain heavily. You Tong thought she would cry, but no, at this time she had no tears left. All her sadness turned into powder in an instant, and Nirvana turned into ashes.
Listening to the footsteps of Rong Yuchi leaving step by step in the corridor, she was in a daze. Memories of the past came one after another, flooding into her mind. The sadness and joy, anger and laughter, pain and love between them all seemed to be the same.
Passing by
The strong wind made the window rattle a little. She turned around silently and walked back to the room quietly.
"Baby, it's time to drink milk"
You Tong was holding the milk that had just been soaked before going to bed, huddled on the bedside, and silently drank the white liquid in the cup.
She stroked her belly with satisfaction, as if she could feel the little life there.
She couldn't love him, couldn't hate him, and it wasn't easy to forget him, but life had to go on. After all, she still had a child, which was the most precious treasure God had given her.

Rong family mansion
The dinner party has already ended, and there are only a few servants doing the final cleaning in the huge courtyard.
The old housekeeper had a depressed face and walked towards Rong Yuchi in embarrassment. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Third Young Master, the old master has ordered that no matter what time it is, as soon as you come back, you must go see him immediately."
"I know," Rong Yuchi said in a deep voice, walking towards the third floor slumped.
The living room on the third floor was lit with orange lights. Rong Guosheng had changed out of his formal clothes but was still awake. He was sitting on the sofa with his gold-encrusted crutch beside him and an ancient porcelain tea cup in his hand.
Never had a sip
Hearing the footsteps, he didn't even raise his eyelids, he just said in a deep voice, "Sit down."
Rong Yuchi didn't reply and sat silently opposite Rong Guosheng. His suit jacket was folded in his arms and the collar of his shirt was loose. He looked decadent.
"Ah Chi, my grandpa has loved you the most since I was a child, and you have never let me down. But your marriage can't be delayed any longer. The Rong family is not only our own Rong family, but also has more than 20 branches at home and abroad.
People from more than a dozen subsidiaries are watching. Grandpa is not forcing you, but you should also be aware of the situation. Marriage is the first rule in this circle. February 22 is New Year’s Eve. You must give everyone an explanation before the Spring Festival.
Zhou has already announced that Zhou Yafei will officially take over the company after the Spring Festival. I think you should know what to do."
From beginning to end, Rong Yuchi did not say a word
Outside the door, Rong Chen walked away with gentle steps.

Zhou family
Zhou Yafei put a facial mask on her face and lay on her back on her princess bed. She was bored for a moment, so she grabbed her mobile phone and dialed a familiar number with her eyes closed.
"Cousin, are you asleep?!" Because she was wearing a facial mask, she just pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and her voice was not very clear, but the person who answered the phone only thought she was cute.
"Not yet." No matter day or night, Su Shenxing's voice always sounds so kind and gentle.
"Haha, you're still up so late, Valentine's Day night is very 'busy'?!" Zhou Yafei deliberately teased
Su Shenxing didn't care, and just replied calmly, "It's past 12 o'clock now, and Valentine's Day has passed for you. What's going on? There's no date tonight?!"
Zhou Yafei suddenly sighed. People who wanted to date her had been queuing up since a week ago, but none of them were worthy of her appointment.
"Cousin, what does it mean to like someone?!" she murmured, confused.
On the other end of the phone, Su Shenxing suddenly fell silent. After being silent for a while, he slowly said, "I want to see him but I'm afraid of him. I don't know what to say after I see him. No matter what happens, as long as he thinks of that person, he will feel...
Wen Nuan, knowing clearly that she already has someone she likes, but still can't worry about her. When he knows that she is in trouble, he will still go out of his way to help her, hoping that she will be happy and happy."

Li family
There was silence in the villa. Everyone was asleep. Only Li Yuanhang was sitting alone in the courtyard, drinking half of a glass of white wine in his hand and leaving half of it.
After the storm, the air became fresh, the moon was gentle, the wind was light and the stars were shining. Everything was so calm and peaceful. Only the empty wine bottles at his feet were leaning crookedly. He accidentally kicked one down and made a crisp sound.
Li Yuanhang didn't bend down to arrange the empty wine bottles. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't have the strength. He didn't like all messy things. His room was always tidy and his office was always tidy.
, it doesn’t matter if you say he follows the rules, or if you say he is rigid and boring, he just likes everything to be in order, but his heart is not under control, and he broke free from the prison a long time ago.
He has been sitting in the courtyard drinking for more than two hours tonight. It seems to be the first time in his life that he has been in this situation. He doesn't like drinking, but he urgently needs alcohol to numb himself tonight.
In the restaurant and on the road, he saw a pair of sweet couples. He was envious, even jealous.
He couldn't help but wonder, what is Xiaotong doing today? Is she celebrating with her child's father?!
Thinking of the fact that she was pregnant again, he couldn't help but take another sip of wine.
"Brother..." Li Jiaqi's voice suddenly appeared. She poked her head out of the window upstairs, and then ran downstairs.
"Brother, are you crazy? You are allergic to liquor. You don't know it. Why do you still torture yourself by drinking so much alcohol?!"

The night is long, many people have insomnia this night, but the reason for insomnia is all because of love
But none of them understand why love is a double-edged sword. If it is struck with a sword, it will be either a wound or a scar. It hurts people to the extreme, but they still insist on it.
No matter how long the blackness lasts, dawn will eventually come
