Love is not without joy: Nightmare on a rainy night
Final volume: Love is endless but not joyful
Fire turns the core into ashes, light turns darkness into ashes, and one person's longing for another person turns all lights and non-lights into ashes.
I am the lamp ash of the lamp ash, but I can’t tell who it is for.

Love is endless but not joyful: Nightmare on a rainy night
In Paris in June, the weather is neither hot nor cold. As evening approaches, the streets are bustling with people and tourists.
Lan Mufei just checked her account, and it seemed like there was an Atlantic Ocean between her and the cost of the surgery.
"If you miss this opportunity, there will be no need for surgery in the future..."
The doctor's words still ring in my ears. It seems that almost half a year has passed. Although the money I earn from playing the piano in a restaurant is more than washing dishes, it is still far behind the surgery fee. It's a lot...
Standing in this romantic Paris street, she felt deeply powerless and exhausted.
After a fierce ideological struggle, she decided to accept Winnie's suggestion.
…………………………
The restaurant closed at nine o'clock on time. In the changing room, Winnie slowly changed her clothes again. She saw Lan Mufei, who had already changed clothes, standing at the door and not leaving.
"What's wrong?" On weekdays, Lan Mufei would rush home after changing her clothes to take care of the handsome boy with blue eyes.
Lan Mufei's eyes flickered for a long time, and she mustered up the courage to say, "Winnie, I'll go walking in the clouds with you."
Winnie was stunned for a few seconds, then she immediately smiled and said, "Okay. I'll take you to meet the manager tonight."
Lan Mufei nodded.
Walking in the Clouds is a high-end club. Winnie has been selling wine there for a long time and earns much more than in the restaurant. After getting along with Lan Mufei for a long time and knowing something about her, she suggested that she go to Walking in the Clouds with him.
.
She has a good drink capacity and can drink with the guests. Lan Mufei can be responsible for getting the wine and collecting tips. If she drinks too much, at least there will be someone who can take her home, so that at least she won't die drunk on the street.
Lan Mufei refused from the beginning. It wasn't that she looked down on Winnie hanging out in such an environment. It was because she really didn't like that kind of environment. It was too easy for her to make mistakes and lose herself. Moreover, the working environment was very unsafe.
factor.
Winnie told her that Wandering in the Clouds was not what she thought. In Wandering in the Clouds, neither the waiter nor the wine seller could have anything to do with the guests. At most, they could only drink a few glasses of wine. Even if you wanted to have something to do with the guests,
The premise is to obtain permission from the boss, otherwise employees are strictly prohibited from having any sexual disputes with guests.
There is no such thing as romance when walking in the clouds?
This is impossible, but Wandering in the Cloud has a very clear positioning, strict management, and extremely high prices, so the guests we receive are wealthy and well-educated, and will not be dishonorable in public. If they have any needs, they will go through
As for the arrangement of Wandering Cloud, the objects of arrangement are also carefully selected, with different price ranges. Wandering Cloud will draw a certain commission. The higher the price, the more commission will be charged.
The commission method of Wandering Cloud is different from other places. What they draw is not the commission of the princess (those who engage in special services in Wandering Cloud are collectively called: princesses) but the commission of the customers. This is what many princesses want even if they are struggling.
The reason for walking in the clouds.
Lan Mufei is young, has a good face, and is highly recommended by Winnie and the manager. The results are self-evident.
It's not the busy time yet, there aren't many customers, so Winnie takes Lan Mufei to get familiar with the environment.
Bathroom, changing room, dressing room...
Each floor of Wandering in the Cloud has different entertainment facilities. The higher the floor, the more expensive it is, and the salaries of those who work there are also extremely high.
Lan Mufei and Windsor are at the lowest level and have the lowest salary. Compared with the outside world, it is much higher. In addition, when they meet generous customers, their income is very considerable.
She really doesn't like the noisy environment, but she must stay here.
She needs money very much.
………………………………………………………………
In the morning, I teach a five-year-old child to play the violin, in the afternoon I work in a music store, in the evening I go to a restaurant to play the violin, and in the evening I go to Wandering Cloud to help Winnie sell wine.
I sleep less than six hours on average, and I feel tired and exhausted every day, but seeing more and more savings in my account makes it worth it no matter how tired I feel.
She has been working at Wandering Cloud for a month, and it has been smooth sailing. Just as Winnie said, nothing bad has happened. At most, she encountered a customer who asked her to drink, but Winnie blocked her every time. She couldn't stop her.
When she checked in, she gave the guest a sip to save her face, and the guest would not make things difficult for her again.
Except for having to work until three or four in the morning every night, which makes Yun Gu worried, everything else is fine.
In early July, something happened that made her feel uneasy.
When working in the evening, Winnie drank too much and rested on the sofa in the lounge. The guests had almost dispersed and the waiters were doing cleaning work. The manager was about to leave, but left his mobile phone in the office on the 17th floor, and there happened to be another employee.
If he came to see him for something, he would give Lan Mufei the key to his office and ask her to help him get his cell phone from the office.
This was Lan Mufei's first time on the seventeenth floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, the two elevator doors next to him were slowly closing. The corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at familiar and unfamiliar faces, and his spine froze involuntarily.
, when I looked back, the elevator/door was completely closed and was descending.
My heart was beating wildly for no reason, and I almost stopped breathing.
Is it him?
The person who pushed himself into the nightmare seven years ago.
No! It can’t be him! How could someone like him appear in Wandering Cloud!
Even if he...seven years have passed, even if he sees her again, he probably won't remember who she is!
To comfort myself like this, I turned around and went to the manager's office to get my phone and get rid of all the messy thoughts in my mind.
……………………
The elevator descended rapidly, and the silver walls reflected his handsome silhouette. His eyes were deep, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his tall and slender figure was dressed in a black shirt and suit trousers. The whole person gave people an unapproachable feeling.
Strength and distance.
His brows were frowning just now. Hang Hang, who was standing aside, asked, "Earl, what's wrong?"
"Bring me the video from the 17th floor." His eyes were as bright as fire, and he focused on the silver door without looking at Hang Hang.
"Yes, Count!"
The elevator/door slowly opened, and he walked towards the car where the door was opened, while Hang Hang pressed the button for the security room.
Ten minutes later, Hang Hang brought the video from the 17th floor and played it to him.
The clear silhouette in the video completely overlapped with the figure in the memory, and his frown deepened.
Why is she here?
"Earl..." Hang Hang hesitated. If the earl could recognize her, how could he not recognize her.
After all, she arranged everything by herself seven years ago, and he was the person who had the deepest contact with her.
He handed the things back to Hang Hang, and before starting the car, he only said one word: "Check."
………………Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes…………
For a week, Lan Mufei never saw the person in the walking cloud that made her palms sweat, and her guarded heart finally dropped.
Or maybe she really thinks too much.
Time has passed so long, people like her will not be remembered.
Seven years ago, they were separated. Seven years later, even if he still remembers her, there is no reason to trouble her.
Relax and concentrate on your work.
But why do I always feel like there is a pair of eyes in the dark staring at me.
Why do I always have a fuzzy feeling in my heart?!
Soon her bad premonition came true.
As night falls, the streets are crowded with people, the lights are on, and the restaurant is filled with warm light.
Lan Mufei changed her clothes, opened the piano case and took out her violin. The first piece of music today was her violin, and it would be Winnie's piano piece an hour later.
Standing next to the piano in the restaurant, the violin had just been placed on her shoulder. Before she could play it, the waiter came over and told her: "The gentleman over there ordered "Butterfly Lovers"."
Lan Mufei followed the waiter's hand and looked towards the window.
Wearing an orthodox suit with a sapphire blue tie, he has cold eyebrows and sharp eyes. The thin lips under the straight bridge of his nose are pursed in an emotionless arc. His dark blue pupils are calm and calm when they shoot at her, but they are as deep as
The sea is unfathomable.
After just a second of looking at each other, Lan Mufei quickly lowered his eyes. His back was soaked with cold sweat, and his legs were so weak that he almost collapsed on the ground.
That man was a nightmare for her. Just hearing his name could make her heart tremble but she couldn't help but grit her teeth and resent him!
Louis the widow!
The first thought is: run.
But thinking about the expensive surgery fee...
Resisting the thought of running away in a hurry, he stood under the fierce eyes of those eagles and began to play "Butterfly Lovers".
The meal Louis Ingone ordered has been served, but he has no intention of eating, and he has not even touched the glass of water in front of him.
His eyes were focused directly on that graceful figure.
For seven years, I never thought there would be a chance to see me again.
Compared to seven years ago, her facial features have become much longer and less youthful. Her brows occasionally show a childlike stubbornness. Her height of 1.78 meters is extremely slender, so thin that she can be blown away by a gust of wind.
The skin has an abnormal whiteness, like a sickly pale color.
His cold eyebrows slowly wrinkled, and his eyes darkened.
Lan Mufei played the plaintive "Butterfly Lovers" in several wrong places when she was flustered. However, the customers who came here to eat were attracted by the atmosphere. Few people who really knew the violin would not bother to pay attention to whether she had played the violin.
Wrong pull.
Before the last word could be heard, Lan Mufei bowed to the customer, not even daring to look at the figure, and hurried towards the changing room.
Winnie had just arrived and changed her clothes. Seeing that her face was pale and a little green, she couldn't help but ask: "Fei Fei, are you okay?"
Lan Mufei sat on the stool and looked down and saw that her hand holding the bow was shaking violently. She reacted in a moment: "I, I'm fine."
"Winnie, could you please help me and the manager ask for leave? I'm feeling a little uncomfortable and want to go home first."
Winnie nodded: "Of course. You don't want to go walking in the clouds at night?"
Lan Mufei nodded, put down the violin, and quickly began to change clothes, "Thank you, I will work hard for you to last the whole performance tonight!"
Winnie smiled nonchalantly: "No problem, then you go back and have a good rest."
After saying that, she had to appear immediately to prevent the atmosphere in the restaurant from cooling down.
Lan Mufei changed her clothes and didn't even dare to go through the front door with her violin in hand. She hurriedly ran out of the back door of the restaurant. As soon as she reached the street, a man wearing black clothes and sunglasses stopped in front of her.
She subconsciously turned around and ran back. Unexpectedly, there was a man behind her, and she knew this man.
Her nails were almost digging into the violin case, and she tried her best to maintain her composure, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Hang Hang looked relaxed and thought she was too nervous.
"The count wants to see you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and pointed towards the intersection, where a black car was parked, "Miss Lan, please."
She has no right to say "no"!
Hang Hang was very polite to her. He politely opened the car door for her and invited her to come in and take a seat.
Lan Mufei stood at the door of the car and refused to get in. To her, the seemingly luxurious car was like a dragon in a tiger's den. Louis Ingone's innate indifference and powerful aura were incomparable. Even standing there
You can also feel it at the car door.
Resigned to her fate, she got into the carriage and Hang Hang closed the door. Lan Mufei's heart tightened and she subconsciously wanted to leave, but the cold voice made her body stiffen instantly.
"I won't eat you!"
The cold voice belonged to Louis Young, who was sitting by the car window. A pair of blue eyes looked at her calmly, as if he was dissatisfied with her reaction.
Lan Mufei clutched the strap of the piano case tightly, bit her lip tightly, and said nothing.
In other words, she didn't want to say a word to this man!
He stared at her, as sharply as if he wanted to see through her whole being, her soul, and nothing could be hidden.
Lan Mufei didn't know where she got the courage. She raised her head and looked at him with starry eyes, unwilling to be outdone.
Her reaction made Louis Ying's eyes darken again. He remained silent for a long time but still did not speak. He just took out a check from his arms and handed it to her.
Lan Mufei was stunned for a moment. When she saw the number on the check, it was something she could never earn from working in her entire life, but——
"Crazy!" After dropping these three words, he turned sideways and got out of the car.
He held her wrist lightly, his face looking worse than before, but Lan Mufei's reaction was even greater than before, and she quickly shook off his hand, "Let me go! What on earth do you want to do?"
Everything ended seven years ago. What is he doing with this check now? Is he humiliating her and trampling on her again?
"You deserve this." Louis Yingqi finally spoke, holding the check between his fingers, which was originally intended to be given to her, although the child was gone after all.
"Deserve it?" Lan Mufei sneered, "Earl, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm afraid that if I take your money, I won't be able to spend it."
Not to mention that the child was not born, even if the child was born healthy, she never thought about taking his money. She was not for sale, nor was she a surrogate mother. She needed to sell her body to get the dirty money.
Louis Yingwidow's eagle eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light. Before he could speak, she said: "We were separated seven years ago. It's better not to let people like me get dirty with the car of Lord Earl."
For the best."
Before she finished speaking, her hand had already grasped the door handle. After speaking, she pushed it open, got out of the car and ran away, which even Hang Hang who was waiting outside the car didn't expect.
The bodyguard tried to chase him, but he stopped him with his hand.
Hang Hang bent down and looked inside the car. Louis Ying's face was cold and livid, probably because he was very angry, "Earl..."
This Lan Mufei seems to be too ignorant.
"Since she doesn't appreciate it, it's better to forget it." Hang Hang added.
"I think she made a very wrong decision." Louis Yingqi glanced, and his long and strong fingers had torn the check into pieces and threw it out of the car window.
Hang Hang knew what he meant, "I'll call the manager of the restaurant right now!"
Louis Ying remained silent, looking through the rearview mirror in the direction she had just run away, with a chill between his brows.
……………………………………………………
Lan Mufei ran home panting, but Yun Gu hadn't come back yet. She put down her violin, slumped weakly on her bed, covered herself with a quilt, her curled up body was trembling uncontrollably.
Suddenly there was a thunder outside, and the silver light flashed across her face through the window, making her tremble even more.
Soon it started to rain heavily, and such a rainy night was exactly the same as the night seven years ago.
No, that night seven years ago, the wind was stronger, the rain was faster, and the luxurious and cold villa was filled with the smell of blood.
Less than two hours after the miscarriage, she lay on the bed, too weak to even stand up. Her hair was damp, and she lay on the bed. Even the servants looked at her coldly.
Suddenly, a group of people broke into the bedroom, including servants and bodyguards. The woman standing in the front was graceful, dignified and elegant, and was very well maintained, but her eyes stared at her unkindly for a full minute.
"The child is gone?" She asked the people around her. She clearly didn't want to talk to Lan Mufei, who was full of bad luck.
"Yes, Madam Hong." The servant who had taken care of Lan Mufei for a long time respectfully answered the lady's words.
Madam Hong frowned and immediately scolded her: "Then why are you leaving her here? Do you really think she is a countess?"
"Throw her out!"
"No... don't..." Lan Mufei was so weak that she couldn't even speak. She watched the two burly bodyguards walking towards her. She kept shaking her head: "Don't do this to me... don't..."
The bodyguards had expressionless faces, as if they didn't understand what she was saying. They directly lifted her up and dragged her off the bed, acting rudely and not caring about her frail body.
"Throw it away, don't make the place dirty." Madam Hong covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, despising her dirty existence.
"Don't... wait until I get better, I will leave, and I won't stay here..." Her painful forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Because of the pain, it was difficult to finish a sentence intermittently.
Madam Hong glanced at her contemptuously and gave the bodyguards a look, and the two bodyguards immediately dragged her downstairs.
Although the domestic servants felt sorry for her, no one dared to offend their employer for a woman. Everyone pretended to be deaf and mute and turned their heads away from looking at the shocking blood stains she dripped on the floor.
"Louis Yingwidow...I want to see Louis Yingwidow...I want to see her!" Lan Mufei knew that he was the only one who could stop this.
Even though he had a miscarriage, he couldn't do this to her.
Madam Hong walked downstairs gracefully. When she heard her calling the Earl by his first name, her face changed instantly and her voice was sharp: "Is this the Earl's name that a despicable person like you can call by his first name?"
"I want to see——Louis Yingwidow!" Lan Mufei said stubbornly.
Madam Hong's eyes swept across her embarrassed face with contempt, "The Count knew that you had a miscarriage and left your affairs to me. Do you think he would waste his time to meet a lowly person like you?!"
Every word was mean and mean, and he trampled her down until she had no dignity.
Lan Mufei's heart suddenly felt cold, and her eyes were swallowed bit by bit by coldness and despair. Her lower abdomen was stinging, almost making her faint from the pain.
The unstoppable bleeding dyed her pajamas red, flowing down from Bai Xi's legs, and dripping onto the smooth floor.
When Mrs. Hong saw the dirty blood, her tone became even colder: "Throw this dirty thing out quickly and clean up the house before the count comes back so that there won't be any more dirty things."

About A Qing & A Li.
Many readers don't understand, so I'll explain it briefly.
From the beginning to the end of yesterday's update, there are hints everywhere that A Qing is not dead.
First: Lin Chen and Lu Ning'an have to wait until A Qing comes back safely before getting married. Of course, this is not obvious.
Second: A Qing dreamed that A Li came to find her and took her home. At the end, A Li said: A Qing, let’s go home.
This is the overlap between A Qing's dream and reality. It is obvious that A Qing is not dead.
As for everyone coming here as a farewell, that's not the case.
The relationship between A Qing and A Li has always been warm, without any ups and downs. This time is considered the biggest ordeal. Buried with you, referring to the fact that A Li’s heart was finally given to Qing Cheng. Qing Feng Xuan Xue does not refer to
The relationship between the two ended in Xuanxue Mountain. In the past, A Qing chased A Li, but A Li's heart was concerned about Fei Fei. But in Xuan Xueshan, A Li admitted that he fell in love with A Qing, and what was frozen was actually the old one.
Only when the old relationship is dusted off can the latest relationship between two people begin. And the presence of these people who are bound to them is a witness and a symbol of a new beginning.
About the divorce agreement.
Lin Chen intended to stop Long Li from going up the mountain, but A Li said: "She is my wife!" Why didn't he say anything else but just said this? It was a double entendre.
1: Hint to Lin Chen that Qingcheng is not only the daughter of the Ye family, but also his wife. 2: When A Qing's life or death is uncertain, he exposed the marriage news, which means that no matter life or death, A Qing will be his wife forever.
(He signed the divorce agreement but did not give it to Chongjian. What he told A Qing that time was obviously to tease her.)
Many people say that this is an anticlimax, but I don’t think so. I have said that there are a thousand and ten thousand endings, and I chose the moment that I think is the most beautiful to end. This also means that the love between A Qing and A Li is perfect.
, is beautiful.
Most readers may want to see the sweet and affectionate scenes between A Li and A Qing. Of course, this will be included and will be left in the follow-up. I did not continue writing because A Li and A Qing were already so happy and sweet at the beginning.
The descriptions in pen and ink are cumbersome and repetitive, endless.
I have been writing for about three to five years now, and the ending of each story repeats the sweetness and childbirth. This pattern has made me tired. In fact, the most beautiful ending is not written by the author, but imagined by the readers themselves. Imagination
, you can be as happy as you want without any constraints.
I have always disliked being restrained and unwilling to give in, whether in writing or in life. There will still be a long time to come, and I may still choose to express the beginning and end of the story in the way I think is best. In many places, I will
Leave it blank and let the readers experience, ponder, and imagine on their own.
I don’t know how many people can be tolerant and accepting, but I still want to say, thank you for liking me and my little bigotry.
Thanks.
