This year's attendance was destined to be an extraordinary night. When every household was full of laughter and chatter, and the years were calm and peaceful, she could only silently sit alone in the glass room, looking out the window at the brilliant fireworks.

She remembered that when she bought the lanterns, the merchant had given her a lot of fireworks. No matter what, this was the first New Year she had brought Tony back to China, so she shouldn't let him be alone.

"Master and Young Master returned to the study room. It doesn't seem to be pleasant." Aunt Zhang frowned.

"Hey, Old Lin has already brought Young Master out and let him go. Why don't you go take a look?"

"Alright." Chen Xi slightly smiled, then stopped her steps as she spoke to Aunt Zhang seriously.

Aunt Zhang, happy new year. Thank you for taking care of our lives.

Aunt Zhang's eyes immediately reddened. She knew that Chen Xi had suffered, but was unable to do anything.

"Happy New Year, ma'am. Let's go play." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Chen Xi nodded before turning around to leave. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the Uncle Lin holding Tony and releasing fireworks. Tony was extremely happy, and she couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Uncle Lin, do you still have more? Give me one. " Chen Xi stepped forward and said.

"Yo, madam, come come come come. There's more, let me light it for you." Uncle Lin smiled brilliantly, then casually lit a pipe for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi received it with a smile, and then said loudly.

"Happy New Year in Uncle Lin, Happy New Year in tony..." Brother Yiran, happy new year, happy new year for Qingxia, and my beloved Hongbo, happy new year, Chen Xi silently said in her heart.

It was as if he would truly be happy if he said it out loud.

"Mummy, happy new year. I hope that you get more beautiful the more you grow." Tony held onto her firework and said happily to Chen Xi, who smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Thank you, darling."

This kind of atmosphere finally had a bit of the flavor of a new year. The dazzling fireworks made her temporarily forget about her unpleasantness, allowing her to truly smile happily.

Looking back at what had happened that year, she suddenly felt as though she was dreaming. From France to home, Duan Wenyu's various frame-up, Rong Xuan's betrayal, Chen Yiran's past with Meng Qingxia, the incident of the fake jewellery, Tang Weixu's return, the Duan Clan's collapse, and Meng Qingxia's unconsciousness after being injured …

Duan Wenyu was no longer the Duan Wenyu of the past, she had become more insidious, cunning, and vicious. Until now, Meng Qingxia's life or death was uncertain, and many things had changed stealthily. She was no longer the Duan Wenyu of the past.

Just as Chen Xi was lost in thought, she suddenly saw a figure flash past not far away. That figure was extremely familiar, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Uncle Lin, I'll take a walk over there." Uncle Lin, I'll take a walk over there. Chen Xi said.

"Yes, ma'am." Uncle Lin replied.

Chen Xi couldn't help but wrap the shawl around her body tightly, and then walked towards the figure. However, when she walked over, she didn't discover anything, other than that her shadow was elongated by the light of the lamp outside the door.

She shook her head, thinking that she had seen wrongly and was about to go back, but then her eyes suddenly went cold.

"Halt."

When the other party heard this, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned around. Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised when she saw who it was, and asked subconsciously.

"Rong Xuan, why are you here?"

When Chen Xi saw Rong Xuan appear at her doorstep on New Year's Eve, she couldn't help but feel that it was extremely strange. Looking at him, she realized that he, who she hadn't seen for a long time, seemed to have become a lot more haggard.

"You, why are you here?" Chen Xi changed her tone and asked softly.

Rong Xuan suddenly laughed.

"I thought you wouldn't be discovered. I thought you wouldn't call me by my name again."

Chen Xi's face stiffened as she continued.

"You're looking for me?"

Rong Xuan shook his head when he heard this, and then replied calmly.

"I came to look for A Yu, and today is New Year's Eve. I thought she might come to look for you, so I came to try my luck." Rong Xuan's words made Chen Xi feel strange.

"What makes you think she'd come looking for me?"

"I don't know, but it should be intuitive. After all, the Duan Clan has already …" Rong Xuan did not continue, but Chen Xi knew what he meant.

Looking at Rong Xuan's decadent appearance, Chen Xi felt slightly sad in her heart. This man had once been elegant and graceful, a carefree youth, yet she chose to walk on a path filled with thorns.

"It seems that you must love her very much." Chen Xi seemed to be muttering to herself.

"It has become a habit to love her. I think you should know best, right?" Rong Xuan replied her indifferently.

Rong Xuan, you should know that she is committing a crime, and if you insist on helping her, you are an accomplice. Do you understand? Chen Xi advised.

"Besides loving her, I don't know what else I can do for her. You keep saying that she is committing a crime, but have you thought about who caused all the things she did? You should understand that besides helping her, I really don't know what else I can do. Including her dark side. " Rong Xuan replied seriously.

Chen Xi felt that she had gone mad, she felt that the entire world had gone mad, how could the current Rong Xuan manage to do such a thing? The former wise and charming man had become so narrow-minded, selfish and unruly, his love for Duan Wenyu could not be considered to be wrong, but at least it was not the right thing to do.

Looking at him, she felt that the current Rong Xuan wasn't pretending to be someone else. She still remembered the scene of him rescuing her from the water many years ago ….

Her feet were empty. Unexpectedly, she was caught off guard and fell backwards.

She had actually forgotten that it was by the river!

"Splash ~ ~ ~" He fell into the water and without giving it much thought, his whole body was surrounded by ice.

The nose, eyes, and ears were filled with water.

The hooligans did not expect this, and immediately panicked, fleeing in all directions in fear.

Duan Wenzhuo did not expect to be able to absorb so much water in one go.

So uncomfortable …. Unable to breathe, his consciousness was gradually dissipating … She was … Am I going to die?

Fine, there's no need to feel guilty anymore, there's no need …

Faintly opening his eyes, Duan Wenzhuo saw that she was surrounded by an unfamiliar environment. Supporting her body, she stood up and swept her eyes once around.

Where is this?

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, revealing a familiar face.

Rong Xuan.

Duan Wenzhuo's frown deepened. What's going on?

"Your body is still very weak right now. Rest well after you eat the medicine." Seeing her act this way, Rong Xuan hurried over and erected the pillow for Duan Wenzhuo to lean on before passing the medicine and water to her.

Although there were many misgivings in his heart, Duan Wenzhuo thought about it and still obediently took the medicine first.

She took a sip of water and pursed her lips before asking, "Where is this place? You were the one who saved me? "

She clearly remembered that she had accidentally fallen into the river.

"I just happened to pass by and saw someone fall into the river. After I rescued you, I realized it was you." Rong Xuan nodded.

"This is my home, don't worry."

Duan Wenzhuo said weakly.

"Thank you."

Indeed, she still had some knowledge about Rong Xuan's personality, and she didn't need to worry.

No matter what, it was still her boss. At least it wouldn't eat her.

"Oh right, how did you end up alone in the middle of the night? Has something happened? " Rong Xuan thought of something and asked worriedly.

Duan Wenzhuo's face stiffened, she lowered her eyes and did not answer. She really did not want to recall those memories.

After a moment of silence, he skipped over the matter and continued.

"Your phone went into the water and I think it's ruined. Your family members should be worried since they haven't returned for the whole night. Would you like to use my phone to contact them? "

Family?

Tang Hongbo's face unconsciously flashed across his mind. He was still her husband in name, but that man wouldn't worry about her.

With a bitter smile, she gently shook her head.

"It doesn't matter."

Maybe he had guessed something, but Rong Xuan did not say much about this matter, and only said passionately.

"If you don't have a place to go, you can stay with me for the time being." Duan Wenzhuo was startled, she raised her head.

"How can I be embarrassed..."

"It's alright. Leave when you're better. Health is the most important thing." Rong Xuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "Of course, if you feel uneasy, I can go and stay at a friend's home for the next few days."

This was the Rong Xuan who was kind to him back then, and would think of others, but he was no longer him, and had lost his nature to being confused by Duan Wenyu.

Chen Xi thought for a moment, but did not refute what Rong Xuan had said.

"I heard you're getting married?"

Rong Xuan was obviously startled for a moment, and then suddenly replied somewhat panickedly.

"Those are just rumors. I won't marry, the only person I love is A Yu, how can I marry another?"

Chen Xi frowned.

"Ah?" You, didn't you say that you want to marry Miss Wang? I heard that you've already chosen the day. Chen Xi asked in confusion.

I would never marry Miss Wang. I love one person in my heart, so how could I marry another woman? But you, no, you should be Tang Hongbo, he and I are the same kind of person, right? "" You … "" You … .
