Feng Sihan pushed Shi Nian out of the lounge. Before they reached the hall, Fang Ning's voice came from behind.

"Nian Nian, wait a moment!"

Feng Sihan stood behind Shi Nian, blocking her view.

Shi Nian turned her head and couldn't see behind her, she could only hear the voice.

Seeing that Feng Sihan had no intention of stopping, she quickly said, "Sihan, the senior seems to be calling me."

What Shi Nian could hear, Feng Sihan could naturally hear as well.

He felt a little jealous and stopped reluctantly at Shi Nian's urging.

He turned around and saw Fang Ning walking towards them on crutches.

Feng Sihan said in an unhappy tone, "Aren't you going to stay with your father-in-law and mother-in-law to assist the police in their investigation? Why are you looking for my wife?"

"Of course I have something to ask her."

Fang Ning walked past Feng Sihan, came in front of Shi Nian, and took out a small square box from his arms.

Feng Sihan frowned, and his alarm bells immediately rang.

Shi Nian was also stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Ning blankly, his eyes fell on the box in his hand, "Senior, what does this mean?"

Fang Ning smiled and said, "You have to go back to your residence. I can't wish you a happy birthday face to face at midnight, nor can I send you a gift in time. Fortunately, I will send it now. Nian Nian, happy birthday."

There was a flash of displeasure in Feng Sihan's eyes, and his gaze pierced Fang Ning as if it had substance, swept across his face, landed on the small box in his hand, swayed around, and finally landed back on Shi Nian.

Fang Ning stretched out his hand and said, "Niannian, this isn't a valuable item. Please take it. I can go back to my room."

Shi Nian looked embarrassed and said politely, "Senior, didn't we agree on this on the phone? I accept your blessing, but I don't want the gift."

Fang Ning did not give up. "A blessing is a blessing, and a gift is a gift. At that time, I only said that I would give you the gift in person when we meet again. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to let it go."

Feng Sihan suppressed his emotions and said, "Boss Fang, my wife has already clearly refused, why are you still asking for it?"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold. Shi Nian was worried that the two would quarrel, so he quickly waved his hand to interrupt their staring.

She inexplicably recalled what Feng Sihan had said to her. It seemed that Fang Ning really did care about her... too much.

She pushed the wheelchair back a little distance, putting some distance between herself and Fang Ning.

"Senior, Xinyue is in trouble. I am not in the mood to celebrate my birthday, nor do I want to receive any gifts. Besides, I am already married, and I don't want my husband to misunderstand me. I hope you can understand and respect my choice."

Fang Ning laughed softly twice, "Niannian, what I gave you was not a valuable item like a ring, so how could your husband misunderstand?"

As he spoke, he opened the small box and handed it to her again.

Seeing Shi Nian's eyes lingering inside the box, Fang Ning explained, "This is a souvenir I asked my friend to bring back from abroad. It's just a pair of earrings with ethnic style."

He held it up to show it. "It's made of feathers. There's not a single precious metal in it."

For some reason, Shi Nian felt relieved.

The jewelry box that Fang Ning handed her was so similar to the small box that Feng Sihan had given her for the ring before. When Fang Ning first took it out, her heart skipped a beat.

Feng Sihan was dissatisfied with Fang Ning's gaze lingering on Shi Nian for so long.

He strode forward and stood between the two of them, staring at Fang Ning with his dark eyes. "Boss Fang, you should keep this pair of earrings and give them to your girlfriend when you find one."

Shi Nian quickly agreed, "Si Han is right, Senior, Xinyue also likes this kind of feather products."

"What about you? Don't you like it?"

"I……"

Feng Sihan's voice drowned out hers, "I'll buy whatever Nian Nian likes, so you don't have to worry about it."

Shi Nian was caught in the middle, feeling a little awkward.

She smiled at Fang Ning and said, "Thank you, Senior, but it's really not necessary."

She was worried that Fang Ning would continue to insist, so she quickly said to Feng Sihan, "Sihan, I'm a little sleepy, let's go."

Feng Sihan didn't hesitate for a second. He glared at Fang Ning warningly, pushed Shi Nian's wheelchair, and walked past him.

Shi Nian was a little afraid to look Fang Ning in the eye. She knew he meant well, but she really didn't want Feng Sihan to misunderstand her.

Suddenly, a small box fell in front of her eyes, and Fang Ning's sighing voice came to her ears, "Niannian, what you have, Xinyue also has. She is my girlfriend, how could I not buy it for her? Similarly, you are also my friend, I don't want your relationship with me to become alienated after you get married."

After saying that, he walked in the opposite direction with his crutches.

He entered the lounge and Feng Sihan followed him in.

Feng Sihan walked straight past him, pursed his lips, and put the box of earrings on the table.

Zhao's mother asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Feng Sihan glanced at Fang Ning who was walking slowly towards him, his tone was unremarkable, "Let him explain to you."

He nodded slightly to the two elders, walked briskly, and left the lounge.

Shi Nian was sitting in a wheelchair. When she saw Feng Sihan coming out, she quickly waved at him.

Feng Sihan pushed Shi Nian and walked away. He didn't relax until he had carried her into the car, folded the wheelchair, put it in the back seat, and drove away from the police station.

Shi Nian had mixed feelings. "I didn't expect that the senior would be so persistent. I had already told him I didn't want it, but he still insisted on sending me off."

Feng Sihan suddenly asked, "Do you like feather products?"

"It's OK."

Shi Nian asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"

Feng Sihan said calmly, "Nothing."

The two returned to their residence, and Shi Nian held onto the wall and took two slow steps.

She said in surprise, "Sihan, my ankle doesn't hurt that much anymore!"

"You have to keep applying the medicine even if it doesn't hurt. If you break a bone, you have to recover for a hundred days."

"A hundred days is too long. I think I'll be able to move freely in less than a week."

Shi Nian returned to the bedroom, took a shower, and changed into pajamas.

When she was alone, she couldn't help but think of her best friend.

I don’t know where Xinyue is now, and whether she is safe...

Worry flashed in Shi Nian's eyes. He sighed, but his heart still felt uncomfortable.

She couldn't lie down, so she limped out of the bedroom. Seeing that there was no one in the living room, she turned and knocked on the door of the next bedroom.

"Sihan, can I come in?"

"Can."

Shi Nian heard the response and reached out to turn the door handle.

Just as her fingers were about to touch the handle, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Shi Nian raised her eyes and saw Feng Sihan's strong chest muscles.

She was stunned for a moment, then reacted in an instant, screamed, and hurriedly raised her hands to cover her eyes.

"Si, Si Han, why don't you put on your clothes and let me in?"

Her cheeks burned and turned red in an instant.

The scene that he had just glimpsed reappeared in his mind. Shi Nian swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but narrow his eyes a little and look out through the gap between his fingers.

Feng Sihan had wrapped his bathrobe tightly to block out the spring light.

Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Feng Sihan noticed her subtle expression and a smile flashed in his eyes.
