Cao Yuan was taken aback, then chuckled twice, "Yes, Yongnian is also one of my students!"
The two chatted as they went upstairs, leaving Zhu Chengye's daughter behind.
Even so, Zhu Chengye didn't say anything, and instructed the waiter to send up a pot of good wine.
When the wine was served, Cao Yuan was taken aback and looked at Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi didn't say anything, but told the waiter to leave. She picked up the wine pot and poured two cups, saying, "Since you're not here on official business, it's alright for you to have a few sips!"
Cao Yuan did not refuse, and took the wine that Wan Qiqi poured, but said, "I remember Yongnian didn't like you drinking?"

Cao Yuan took another sip of wine. "Even if you get involved, he will find a way to protect the person you care about."
"He is him, and I am me. There's no conflict!" Wan Qiqi tilted her head. "I don't want to regret remembering this!"
How could she not know that Fang Ziming would definitely leave himself an escape route?
Even if things don't go perfectly, he will at least give Fang Luxue a way out.
However, Xie Xing was no ordinary person.
Fang Ziming has a weakness, and Xie Xing will use that weakness to threaten him and make him give up the struggle.
Perhaps Fang Luxue will eventually get out, but she will suffer greatly.
Wan Qiqi understood Cao Yuan's meaning, and she understood Wan Ziyan's meaning even more, but she really couldn't ignore it.
