Fang Zhicheng sighed lightly, tidied up his desk briefly, and said, "Wen Ling, thank you for your concern. By the way, you came to bring me dinner, where is Qin Lang?"

Wen Ling said: "Qin Lang has been conducting field research these days, so I don't have much to do at home."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It turns out that it's not me who is lonely, but you."

Wen Ling sighed and said, "It's mainly because I haven't been in Hanzhou for long and don't have many friends."

Fang Zhicheng said: "When I first came to Hanzhou, I was the same as you, but after a long time, I got used to it. Qin Lang's grassroots research this time will not take long, so you just have to be patient. By the way, have you eaten?"

Wen Ling shook her head and said, "I brought enough for two people."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Then let's eat together."

Fang Zhicheng thought about it carefully, and he could understand why Wen Ling came to bring him dinner. Apart from Qin Lang, Fang Zhicheng was the only person Wen Ling knew in Hanzhou. She felt insecure and came to him involuntarily.

The food Wen Ling ordered was pretty good, much better than the set meal that Shang Yan or Jiang Pei ordered some time ago. Fang Zhicheng ate a lot. Wen Ling said, "Brother-in-law, there is still half a box of food left. Do you want some?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, I'm full."

Wen Ling bent down to pick up the lunch box and garbage on the table. The two were originally sitting opposite each other, and Fang Zhicheng's angle was just right to extend from her collar to the inside and see the edge of the white semicircular outline of her chest. Fang Zhicheng quickly stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer of the desk, and then took out a cigarette and lit it to cover up the embarrassment.

If it was any other woman, Fang Zhicheng would probably suspect that Wen Ling was deliberately seducing him, but the one in front of him was Wen Ling, and Fang Zhicheng tried to convince himself that it was just Wen Ling's subconscious action. Wen Ling was Qin Lang's wife and the sister-in-law of his girlfriend Qin Yuming.

Wen Ling put all the stuff in a bag and asked Fang Zhicheng, "Where is the trash can?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Just leave it outside. The secretary will take care of it when we go to work tomorrow."

Wen Ling nodded, threw the garbage in the outer room, then turned and went into the inner room, saying, "Brother-in-law, I'll go back first. It feels a bit rainy outside, do you have an umbrella?"

Fang Zhicheng thought about it, thinking that there weren't too many things to do, and some of them could be dealt with tomorrow, so he said, "It's so late, it's not convenient for you to go out and take a ride, can I take you home?"

Wen Ling's tone of refusal was a little weak. She smiled and said, "It's okay. It's only a little after seven o'clock now. The buses don't stop running until half past nine. There's a bus stop not far away. I can go back by myself. I won't disturb you from working."

Fang Zhicheng felt a little embarrassed when Wen Ling said this, so he smiled and said, "I just got off work, it's not a big deal if I give you a ride." After that, he locked several important documents in the drawer and left the office with Wen Ling.

When he was going downstairs, he happened to meet a pretty young woman named Jiang Pei. She was carrying a few packing boxes in her hands, her hair was wet, and she exuded a strong scent of shower gel. Seeing Fang Zhicheng going downstairs side by side with a pretty woman, he couldn't help feeling a little confused and embarrassed.

Fang Zhicheng introduced Jiang Pei and said, "Secretary Jiang, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that I don't need you to buy me food tonight. My sister-in-law brought me food just now."

Jiang Pei knew that Fang Zhicheng was helping a relative with a job, so she understood. She thought to herself that this woman might be the one Fang Zhicheng had helped coordinate the work for. She smiled and said, "So you've already eaten. I'll go back now."

Seeing Jiang Pei's panicked expression, Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that this woman really cared about him and came to bring him food. He asked, "How did you get here? How about I take you back?"

Jiang Pei waved her hands quickly and smiled awkwardly, "It's only a few steps away, I can just walk back." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurried and messy manner.

Fang Zhicheng looked at Jiang Pei's beautiful figure and sighed in his heart. He had deliberately kept a certain distance from Jiang Pei during this period. There were three main reasons. First, Sun Bai almost found out about his relationship with Jiang Pei, which made Fang Zhicheng feel like he was on edge. Second, Jiang Pei was his subordinate and secretary. Although he had a further relationship with her, he still had to keep a certain distance. Otherwise, how could he carry out his work in the future? Third, someone was secretly spreading rumors that he had an improper relationship with the two secretaries. Fang Zhicheng had to pay attention to avoid being talked about.

Wen Ling sat in the passenger seat after getting in the car. She seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, your secretary is so beautiful and looks very young."

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "You are also very beautiful, and younger than her."

"Brother-in-law, are you making fun of me?" A delicate blush appeared on both sides of Wen Ling's fair cheeks.

Fang Zhicheng seemed to hear Wen Ling's disordered breathing, and felt secretly annoyed in his heart, how could he say such frivolous words

The atmosphere in the car was a little strange. Wen Ling felt that her heartbeat seemed to be accelerating, and her breathing became a little heavy involuntarily. Fang Zhicheng felt that the smell of the air had changed a little, with a slightly sweet smell that seemed to touch her heartstrings.

Fang Zhicheng coughed and rolled down the front window a little. The cool wind from outside blew into the car with raindrops. Wen Ling sneezed twice because of the cold. Fang Zhicheng quickly closed the window. Wen Ling said, "It's okay. It's a bit stuffy in the car. Brother-in-law, just open the window."

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled, "Forget it. If it rains hard later, we'll have to close the car windows."

After sending Wen Ling downstairs, Wen Ling was still not getting out of the car. Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Wen Ling whispered, "Brother-in-law, to be honest, I'm a little scared. This morning I suddenly found out that an old man had died next door. I don't dare to live in the house alone. It always feels spooky..."

Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said, "So this is why you are having dinner with me tonight?"

Wen Ling nodded, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Brother-in-law, how about you sit up with me for a while?"

Fang Zhicheng thought about it, and finally said: "Wen Ling, I'm not going up. It's so late, if a man and a woman are alone in the same room, I'm afraid it will cause gossip in the eyes of others. If Qin Lang is at home, there is nothing wrong with it, but now Qin Lang is not at home, I can't go up at this time. I give you a suggestion, when you get home, turn on all the lights, it will be better this way."

Wen Ling's face turned red and white for a while. She was also a smart person, so she could hear the hidden meaning of Fang Zhicheng's words. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll go back."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I'll sit in the car and wait until all the lights in your house are on before I leave."

Wen Ling thought to herself that Fang Zhicheng was quite gentlemanly, so she carried her small bag and went upstairs. After waiting for about three or four minutes, Fang Zhicheng saw that the house where Wen Ling lived gradually became brighter, and finally the light on the balcony also came on, and Wen Ling was seen standing on the balcony, quietly looking at his car.

Fang Zhicheng sighed deeply, then started the car and drove away from the community.

Wen Ling saw the car slowly leaving, and a complex expression appeared on her face. She couldn't tell her actions tonight. She knew that many of her actions were willful, selfish, and immoral, but she couldn't help doing them. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Wen Ling walked over and saw that it was Qin Lang calling. She was filled with guilt.

Although nothing happened between her and Fang Zhicheng tonight, Wen Ling knew that her spirit and soul were on the brink of danger. Just one step away, she might step into the abyss.

"Honey, I just came back from a dinner party. Don't worry, I listened to you and didn't drink..." Qin Lang's voice was very clear and full of concern. "By the way, what did you eat tonight?"

Wen Ling replied softly, "It's good that you didn't drink. Health is the most important thing. I had some boxed lunch tonight. By the way, I ate it with my brother-in-law."
