Xu Ying pulled Jiang Wanning to sit down, and Jiang Wanning handed her a glass of sweetened milk: "Teacher, if you drink coffee now, you won't be able to sleep well tonight. I packed some sweetened milk for you, would you like some?"

"How did you know I can't sleep well after drinking coffee?"

"I saw it on your Weibo before. You said that after drinking a cup of coffee, inspiration would come, but unfortunately, sleep would be slow to come."

Jiang Wanning continued, "You posted that article at four in the morning. I think you're like me, quite sensitive to caffeine. If I drink coffee in the afternoon, I can't sleep at night, let alone drink it late at night."

"I'll do as you say, I'll drink the milk."

Xu Ying invited everyone to sit down and personally brewed tea for them.

Fu Chenyuan took it: "Teacher Xu, let me do it."

Xu Ying looked at the young couple sitting opposite her and asked with interest, "How did you two meet?"

Fu Chenyuan paused in his hand holding the tea set, and Jiang Wanning subconsciously looked at him as well.

Fu Chenyuan's pause lasted only a second, so long that no one could even sense it.

He smiled and said, "I've known about Wanwan for a long time. I fell in love with her at first sight, and my feelings only deepened when I saw her again. I admire Wanwan and thought it would be wonderful if a girl like her could become my wife. Fortunately, God has given me this opportunity, and I will definitely not let her down."

Xu Ying didn't ask any further questions. As someone who had been through similar experiences, she could naturally understand the affection in Fu Chenyuan's eyes.

A person briefly crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed the thought, not wanting to dwell on it.

Xu Ying held Jiang Wanning's hand, looked her over carefully, and asked who her family members were.

Jiang Wanning replied, "I was switched at birth with the Zhao family. I was reunited with my family recently. I haven't met my grandparents yet, and my parents haven't mentioned my maternal grandparents' home to me."

She was a little confused. If Xia Rushan had grandparents, where would they be when she urgently needed surgery?

They never visited Xia Rushan after her surgery.

She had only been home a short time and didn't feel comfortable asking.

What's your mother's name?

"Xia Rushan." Upon hearing this name, a hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Ying's eyes.

So your surname is Xia? Then that doesn't match up.

After chatting with Xu Ying for a while, seeing that she wasn't in good spirits, Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan tactfully took their leave.

Fu Chenyuan suggested introducing Xu Ying to a doctor, a very famous old Chinese medicine doctor with excellent medical skills.

Xu Ying shook her head: "I know my body well, good child, thank you for your kindness. Be careful on your way back."

After Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan left, Xu Ying could no longer hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"Teacher, isn't that wrong?"

"I don't know. You heard it too, her mother's surname is Xia, which doesn't match up. After my parents divorced, my dad took my sister with him. My surname is Xu, which is my father's surname. My mom originally wanted me to change it to my mother's surname and take hers, but I didn't agree. It wasn't because I still had feelings for that scumbag father, but because I was worried that if I changed my surname, I might miss my sister if we met in the future. Later, I worked desperately hard to become famous so that my sister could see me. Unfortunately, over the years, there have been scammers, but my real sister has never appeared."

Over the years, Xu Ying has never given up searching for her sister, but both her scumbag father and her sister seem to have vanished into thin air.

The two sisters separated forty years ago, and at that time, much of the information was not as readily available as it is now.

Xu Ying also posted missing person notices, but as she became famous, more and more scammers appeared, and her real sister never showed up, so she gradually gave up on the idea.

Xu Ying has remained unmarried all these years, and she has also worked hard to mentor younger generations.

If my younger sister gets married and has children, whether it's a boy or a girl, her age shouldn't be too different from Jiang Wanning's, maybe a few years older, maybe a few years younger.

Xu Ying smiled and shook her head: "I'm really obsessed. I guess I felt a pang of sympathy for her talent, and seeing how well Xiao Ning and I clicked, I thought of that. Did you look up the information I asked you to?"

Li Yixuan handed the documents to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying felt somewhat disappointed.

"Xiao Xuan, go back and rest. With A Fen with me, I'll be fine."

Li Yixuan replied, "Okay, teacher, I'll go back now."

Xu Ying nodded, but called out to Li Yixuan as he turned around.

"Xiao Xuan, did you know Xiao Ning before? Do you like her?"

Li Yixuan was taken aback, then touched his nose sheepishly: "Teacher, you noticed? Actually, it's not quite love yet, just a bit of a crush. I was surprised to see her at the art exhibition that day, and I couldn't help but go up to her. I first met her two years ago, just once, and I've been thinking about her ever since. I was overjoyed to see her again at the art exhibition. But when I saw the wedding ring on her hand, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over me."

Teacher, I know my limits. I haven't fallen for her. From now on, she'll just be my junior sister. She's already married. If I dared to like her, it wouldn't be liking, it would be disturbing her. Besides, my ability to control my feelings is at most a good impression, not love. But Wan Ning, being with her feels peaceful and happy. Even a few words from her fill you with positive energy.

From now on, I know what to do. Teacher, if you like her, I will protect her too. President Fu's behavior towards Wan Ning is different from the rumors. He's not heartless; he's just too affectionate. All his affection is reserved for Wan Ning alone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying patted Li Yixuan's shoulder, as if offering silent comfort.

"It's good that you know. Xiao Xuan, I've practically watched you grow up. If it weren't for your parents' help those years, I wouldn't be where I am today. I don't have children, and although you call me teacher, I've always treated you like my own child. It's too painful to like someone who can never reciprocate your feelings, so I don't want you to go down that path. I've also known over the years that you have high standards, and ordinary girls don't catch your eye. It's already quite an achievement to have you admit to having some feelings for someone."

"Shen Yuan is a good child too; you can't hide the fact that he's in love with someone. You and Xiao Ning can only be fellow disciples in this life."

Yixuan will keep his teacher's teachings in mind.

Li Yixuan left and stood in the night for a while.

He stood under a bougainvillea tree, his slightly long hair tied in a low ponytail, which was being tossed about by the wind.

He was dressed in Hanfu-style clothing, looking like a refined gentleman from a bygone era.

Li Yixuan smiled silently in the night.

Any thoughts that shouldn't be stirred should be nipped in the bud.

Ultimately, he was still a very cold-hearted person.

Everyone thought he was a romantic, but he was actually frighteningly rational.

Unlike Fu Chenyuan, who fell head over heels for Jiang Wanning after meeting her, without holding back and acting like a fool.

But who can say that no one doesn't want to be the fool?

Inside the car, the driver was driving in the front. As soon as Fu Chenyuan got in, he patted the seat next to him, his voice filled with a hint of resentment: "Wife, you're so far away from me."
