The darkness of night descended, and the glistening moon was suspended in the dark curtain of the night. The glittering stars scattered as specks of light, together complementing the soft moonlight.

A bright starry sky, a glistening moon, and an immeasurable radiance.

Suddenly, a figure resembling a blaze rapidly flew past every roof and arrived at a relaxing and tranquil courtyard.

The refined residence only had a few lights inside. The lights hazily flickered, and out of nowhere, a slightly strong cold wine fragrance momentarily floated the air. The entire residence seemed to be entirely permeated by the seeping intoxicating fragrance.

At this moment, an exceptionally attractive man sitting unmoving on the bedside noticed the strong wine fragrance, his refined eyebrows slightly wrinkling. 

However, when he intended to dispatch his personal attendant, Lu Zhu, to examine after hearing the noises outside, he caught sight of his beloved daughter’s pale complexion as she unsteadily entered. She swayed and staggered, her entire body reeking of a strong wine fragrance.

Startled, he got up and walked towards her direction, his voice brimming with concern: “Luo’er, why are you drinking so much wine again!”

“Father, I…… I don’t feel very good.” The lady’s expression was blurry as she unconsciously whispered to herself. 

“Even you know it doesn’t feel good! Your constitution base isn’t suitable for drinking such heavy wine, yet you still drink so much! Why must you harm yourself!” The man helped her to sit on a stool, took the tea Lu Zhu handed, fed it to her, and repeatedly lectured her: “You’re not allowed to drink so much again next time, you hear me?”

The lady slightly narrowed her indistinct phoenix eyes and lightly opened her lips, quietly drinking the tea her father was feeding her and listening to his naggy reprimanding. The eyes that were looking at him lacked vitality.

Seeing her present state, he softly sighed and put the empty cup on the table, and silently looked face-to-face with her.

Only after quite some time did the lady open her enchanting phoenix eyes, revealing her frailness and grief.

The man felt sorry. All the indignance and anger he just had disappeared in a split second. 

His Luo’er, his Luo’er shouldn’t be dispirited like this. Shouldn’t be lonely like this. Shouldn’t be helpless like this.

“Father, why? In the end, why? He betrayed me.” The lady unexpectedly crouched to immerse herself on his lap. Her deep and cold voice somewhat gave shivers as she muttered: “Am I not good enough for him?”

“Luo’er……” The man’s face was doting as he raised his had to stroke her silky black hair.

He knew. He was aware of everything that happened at the time.

He hated it. Luo’er was his most important child. His treasure. How could Liu Yunxi hurt her like this!

“Father, tell me. In the end, why?” The lady faintly looked up, dazedly gazing at the glittering stars in the curtain of the night, with heavy sorrow hidden deep within her phoenix eyes. “Even though we rarely see each other, but, but every time I came back, the first person I went to see was him. I was even willing to throw you and mother to the back of my mind, just to meet him. Because I had him in my heart. Hence I was desperate. Was he still not satisfied? In the end, why……”

For a while, there was only silence.

“Perhaps……” The man’s voice slightly trembled. “Because he doesn’t know how good Luo’er is. Doesn’t know Luo’er’s deep affection and doesn’t understand Luo’er’s heart.”

After all, he unconsciously thought to himself, thinking of Mr. Li who will be attending to the matriarch tonight, thinking to himself of her heart, of her feelings, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat aggrieved. 

Attendant Lu Zhu, who was standing at the side, watched the inwardly pained father-daughter pair. He softly sighed in his heart. 

Noticing the threads of distress and grief in the man’s eyes, a stab of pain directly struck her heart. She was aware of her father’s distress. She was also aware of her father’s grief.

“Father… Are you happy?” The lady’s hand gently covered the hand he put on his knee. Her phoenix eyes were serene and tranquil, and her expression was as calm as water as she asked him.
