Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses.

My chest feels tight and I feel uncomfortable.

Even though she and Fu Zhengting weren't in a romantic relationship, she felt as heartbroken as if she had been blocked by her boyfriend of many years.

Didn't he even give her a chance to explain?

Is it really that decisive?

I felt lost, sad, and bitter; I even had an urge to cry.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized how much influence Fu Zhengting had on her.

Even if she didn't want to believe it, the grievances and sadness in her heart at this moment couldn't deceive herself.

Does this mean she's fallen for Fu Zhengting?

It is because of love that one feels sadness.

When exactly did it begin?

We've only known each other for such a short time.

Having never experienced love before, she had no answers and fell into confusion.

I kept looking down at my phone, and my eyes started to get increasingly sore.

She sniffed, rubbed her eyes, went into the bathroom, and washed her face with cold water.

The temperature was low at night, and when cold water was splashed on her face, she shivered.

She wanted to clear her head.

With the tap running, he kept splashing water on his face with both hands.

She only stopped washing her face when it was so cold it felt stiff.

I braced my hands on either side of the sink, looking at my distraught reflection in the mirror.

Perhaps this is for the best, as it can completely sever her hopes.

They were never from the same world to begin with. From now on, Fu Zhengting will go his sunny path, and she will go her narrow bridge.

She went to find a stable job and worked hard to earn money to pay back Fu Zhengting.

As long as everyone is doing well, that's enough.

She tried to comfort herself with these thoughts.

But my eyes felt sore, and my heart ached terribly.

In the blink of an eye, her eyes welled up with tears, and her vision blurred.

When I close my eyes, those sweet images automatically flash through my mind.

In the orchard, a man in a suit stood to one side, smiling at her.

He put his arm around her waist and wanted to kiss her.

I fed her a cream puff.

At the airport entrance, the man turned his head, looking at her with lingering reluctance, and there was that passionate, unforgettable kiss...

Each scene was like a sweet moment from a romantic movie playing back.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sweet, washing away the bitterness in my heart.

But then the scene shifts, and Fu Zhengting looks at her with anger and disappointment before resolutely turning and leaving.

The bittersweet feeling in my heart spread again.

She really wanted to know what Fu Zhengting's feelings for her were.

What was your mindset when you held her and kissed her?

If he's just flirting with her out of curiosity, then she's really pathetic.

She fell for him without even realizing it.

If we hadn't fallen, why would I be so sad now?

Previously, she had never longed for love, believing that she could always remain rational.

But now I realize that feelings are uncontrollable.

She doesn't allow herself to be sad or upset.

She's not Fu Zhengting's girlfriend, so what right or reason does she have to be sad and upset?

Maybe I'll feel better after a good night's sleep and wake up tomorrow.

She didn't even want to take a shower. She left the bathroom, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed.

The room was quiet and dark; you couldn't see anything.

Mu Tiantian closed her eyes, trying to hypnotize herself to sleep, but her mind was a mess, and the sour feeling in her chest was still there, a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe properly, an indescribable discomfort.

This has never happened before.

She tried to turn over to sleep, but no matter how she tried to hypnotize herself, she just couldn't fall asleep.

I tossed and turned several times, and even after closing my eyes for a long time, I still couldn't fall asleep.

She turned around angrily, lay down straight, opened her eyes to the darkness, and tried to clear her mind and not think about anything, but her mind was playing tricks on her, and all she could think about were images of Fu Zhengting.

She tapped her head, took out in-ear headphones from her bag at the foot of the bed, and plugged them in to listen to music.

Some of the songs in her playlist were sad love songs, and listening to the melancholic melodies made the bitterness in her heart spread even deeper.

She was so angry that she searched for a song called "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" and played it on repeat.

Don't let men influence you; making money is the priority.

She listened to music while mentally brainwashing herself.

Tomorrow she'll be working hard to earn money, and once she's busy, she won't have time to think about these trivial things.

Insomnia is a very painful thing.

The first time I had insomnia was because of Fu Zhengting.

This time, she didn't want to relive that pain.

She tried countless times to close her eyes and sleep, but in the end, she couldn't sleep and felt so uncomfortable that she had to open her eyes.

My eyes are sore and sore, but my brain just won't let me sleep.

She gave up and simply started scrolling through her phone.

When I checked the time on my phone, it was already past 4 a.m.

Looking at Fu Zhengting's WeChat profile, one can't help but wonder: Does Fu Zhengting also suffer from insomnia? Or is he sleeping soundly?

Fu Zhengting was still chatting with Huo Qijun.

It had been a long time since Huo Qijun had opened up to Fu Zhengting like this, and once they started talking, they couldn't stop.

Fu Zhengting only then realized that Huo Qijun and his wife's love story had been so tortuous.

We started dating online and have been together ever since, experiencing a blissful period of love like most couples.

Things changed after I got married.

It became a matter between two families, leading to all sorts of conflicts.

Kenneth Fok's parents could never accept their daughter-in-law, who came from an ordinary background. In particular, Kenneth Fok's mother had to balance the relationship between his mother and his wife, and gradually he became annoyed with her.

His wife felt that he was no longer on her side, and they started arguing frequently. There were many rules in wealthy families, and when their daughter, Linglong, was one year old, she finally couldn't take it anymore and left with the divorce papers.

From then on, he vanished as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth; Huo Qijun could not find him no matter how hard he tried.

He could sense Huo Qijun's sadness and grief from his tone.

Even though we've argued so much, we still love each other deeply.

Love that isn't a match made in heaven is destined to go through these trials.

He had this concern when he first wanted to date Mu Tiantian.

But it was just worry, not enough to shake his resolve.

Unlike Huo Qijun, he would stand unconditionally by the woman he had chosen, even if his father and the entire family opposed it.

But now, it turns out that Mu Tiantian's appearance was a lie and a deception.

He glanced at the pale dawn in the sky and gave a slight smirk.

Chatting time flies by so fast.

If it weren't for Huo Qijun talking to him about these things, he wouldn't know how he would have gotten through the night.

Huo Qijun's mood soured when he talked about his wife, and he finished off an entire pack of cigarettes.

He stood beside Fu Zhengting, and together they looked up at the pale dawn sky, their minds filled with the sweet memories of the time they had spent together with his wife.

He couldn't help but wonder what his heartless wife, who had abandoned him, was doing right now, whether she was sleeping soundly.

Does she sleep alone, or in another man's arms?

The thought of the latter made him feel terrible.

I've been searching for her for so long, I'm afraid she's dead!

Fu Zhengting understood Huo Qijun's worries, patted his arm, and promised, "I will use all my connections to help you find her."
