Ning Yulan held a bottle of red wine in her right hand and two goblets between her left fingers. She smiled and said, "Are you free? Let's have a drink?"

Ning Xiangcao smiled faintly and said, "I was just about to go to bed, but since you are so interested, I will naturally accompany you."

Ning Xiangcao made way for Ning Yulan, who walked in quickly. She glanced at the vase on the wall and quickly explained, "I accidentally knocked it over just now. It's a pity, the vase is quite old."

Ning Yulan nodded and asked with concern: "You didn't hurt yourself, did you?"

Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "No!"

Ning Yulan smiled and said, "That's good. Things are just external things. If they break, they break. But if people get hurt, that's not good. I'll get you a new vase tomorrow."

Ning Xiangcao and Ning Yulan walked to the sofa. Ning Xiangcao took the glass and red wine from her and poured some. Ning Yulan smiled and said, "Are you afraid of getting drunk? Pour more."

Ning Xiangcao then continued to drink a little more and sighed, "Sis, as far as I can remember, this is the first time we've had a drink together privately this late."

Ning Yulan raised the wine glass to her lips, took a sip, and whispered, "Because I have something hidden in my heart and can't sleep, so I want to talk to you."

Ning Xiangcao showed a look of surprise on her face and asked, "Sister, what's going on?"

Ning Yulan shook her wrist, and the red wine swirled in the glass. She whispered, "I've always been worried about one thing. If Zhicheng marries Xiangcao, you'll be hurt."

Ning Xiangcao paused, raised her voice a little, and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about? Qiangwei and Zhicheng are getting married, this is a happy event that I want to see, how could it hurt me?"

Ning Yulan pointed to her chest and smiled bitterly, "Vanilla, you can fool yourself, but you can't fool your sister. In fact, the old man knows that you and Zhicheng have true feelings. If nothing unexpected happened, you and Zhicheng would be a couple, but it turned out that Zhicheng is from the Su family. In order to make this political marriage become a good match, the old man Ning brought Zhicheng and Qiangwei together."

Ning Xiangcao shook her head and said, "Sister, you think too much. Zhicheng and I are just friends. He saved me once, so I am very grateful to him, but there is absolutely no romance involved."

Ning Yulan stared at Ning Xiangcao's expression carefully, trying to see through something, but she finally let out a breath and said, "No matter whether you and Zhicheng have a past or not, I hope you won't have a future, because that would hurt me too much."

Ning Xiangcao gritted her teeth and whispered, "Sister, don't think too much. I know what's going on."

Chapter 0793: Learn to Transfer Desires

Fang Zhicheng, who was suffocating in the quilt, felt terrible. He was nervous to begin with, and the quilt was not breathable. He was sweating profusely, but he dared not breathe out, so he could only stay stiff. Fang Zhicheng heard the two sisters' words clearly. Ning Yulan was very sensitive. She came here tonight with a clear purpose, which was to warn Ning Xiangcao to stop before it was too late. As for whether she had discovered him in this room, Fang Zhicheng was not sure.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zhicheng felt his body lighten, and the quilt was lifted. Ning Xiangcao looked at Fang Zhicheng with both anger and amusement, and said, "Are you stupid?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled awkwardly and asked, "Where's my eldest sister?"

Ning Xiangcao said: "Of course I left."

Fang Zhicheng wiped the sweat off his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's a bit exciting." Then he pointed to his lips and said, "But it's not a loss, I made a profit!"

Ning Xiangcao's face flushed, she glared at Fang Zhicheng and said unhappily, "Why don't you get out of here right now?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled. He was also afraid that Ning Yulan would make a surprise attack, so he quickly left Ning Xiangcao's bedroom.

After Fang Zhicheng left, Ning Xiangcao sighed and looked at the red wine glass and half a bottle of red wine on the coffee table. She found that Ning Yulan's arrival today made her certain of one thing: lies are lies, and you can't deceive others forever, let alone yourself.

The next morning, after Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei came back from running, they found that Zang Yi had left in advance. They had agreed to go back to Hanzhou together, but he left early. There must be a reason for this. However, Fang Zhicheng did not ask, as he could sense a tacit understanding from Ning Qiangwei's state.

As Fang Zhicheng guessed, Ning Xiangcao and Zang Yi had a long chat. Although Zang Yi tried hard to win, Ning Xiangcao still blocked the door. Ning Xiangcao clearly told Zang Yi that she would not choose anyone for the time being, so she asked Zang Yi to choose someone else.

Although Ning Xiangcao's actions were somewhat detrimental to the interests of the family, Ning Yulan could still understand. After all, this was her sister's life, and she couldn't interfere too much. She had to be satisfied with whoever she chose as her life partner.

After lunch, Fang Zhicheng said goodbye to Ning Qiangwei. Guo Jinyuan went to work a day earlier and came to Yunhai to pick him up and take him back to Hanzhou. The highway was quite congested, and he didn't get home until around five in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Zhicheng took Guo Jinyuan to a restaurant near the community for dinner before returning home.

South Korea also celebrates the Spring Festival, so Park Hyun-ya went back to South Korea with her father. But after the university started, Park Hyun-ya returned to China. Fang Zhicheng took a shower and sat in the living room to watch TV. The doorbell rang. Fang Zhicheng frowned and wondered why someone would come to see him at this time.

Fang Zhicheng opened the door and saw a pretty young woman standing outside. He asked in surprise, "Wen Ling, why are you here?"

Wen Ling was wearing a woolen windbreaker and a wool scarf around her neck. She looked pretty and lovely. She smiled and said, "I knew you were coming back today, brother-in-law, so I came to see you specially."

Fang Zhicheng welcomed Wen Ling in and asked in surprise, "Where's Qin Lang?"

Wen Ling waved her hand and said, "He is still in Yinzhou. His vacation is longer, so I came back early."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and poured a glass of water for Wen Ling. He then realized that Wen Ling was carrying a bag. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Why are you carrying so many things so late at night?"

Wen Ling smiled and said, "My parents prepared these. They said it's not easy for you to be alone. They bought a lot of things during the New Year travel, so they asked me to bring them to you."

Fang Zhicheng packed his bag and turned to go out. He saw Wen Ling had taken off her coat. The air conditioner was on in the room. Wen Ling must be a little hot. Fang Zhicheng walked over to check the remote control, lowered the temperature a bit, and then asked, "What day do you start work?"

Wen Ling said, "I'll go back to work the day after tomorrow. The days after the Spring Festival are relatively easy, so you can just report in."

Fang Zhicheng hummed, in fact, he was hinting to Wen Ling to go back early. It was not a good thing for a man and a woman to be together in the middle of the night.

Wen Ling sat for a while longer, chatting with Fang Zhicheng. Finally, she felt that the time was almost up, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I won't disturb you to rest. I'm leaving now."

Fang Zhicheng took a coat and put it on, saying, "Then I'll see you off."

Wen Ling nodded to indicate her agreement, and Fang Zhicheng took the car keys.

After getting into the car, Wen Ling suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, do you think I'm troublesome?"

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself, you are quite self-aware. Although it is well-intentioned of you to give me the things my parents asked me to do, I still have to drive her home myself. Isn't it tiring to go back and forth

Fang Zhicheng certainly wouldn't say what was in his mind, and smiled faintly: "Why do you think so?"
