Ling Yichen paused with his hands, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, and put down the tableware. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

He asked seemingly calmly, but he clenched his hands unconsciously and looked at Feng Ning nervously with his warm eyes.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Feng Ning's face, and she didn't pay attention to his expression. She just lowered her head again and bit her lower lip, looking quite troubled.

A big hand covered the top of her head and gently rubbed her short hair. In a delicate and soft voice, he asked with a hint of endearment: "Aning, what's wrong?"

Feng Ning raised his head and looked at Ling Yichen. The person in front of him was gentle and kind. His bright black eyes contained concern and inquiry. His hand was neither light nor heavy, just like his elder brother caressing her head when she was a child.

Suddenly, Feng Ning seemed to have returned to her childhood. When she was wronged and unhappy, her brother would be like now, sitting next to her, stroking her head, and gently asking her what was wrong.

Ling Yichen rubbed her short hair and then retracted his hand. Although he had done this action many times before, after all, he was different now from the 'him' before. His appearance and identity had all changed.

Perhaps his actions made Feng Ning feel familiar. She smiled sincerely and said, "The way you comforted me just now is very similar to how my elder brother comforted me when he was a child."

Ling Yichen's heart trembled. Looking at the person in front of him, he had the urge to tell her that I am your brother!

But he knew that what he said was too ridiculous and unbelievable.

Therefore, he suddenly stopped talking and changed the subject, saying, "Is the matter you asked about today related to Feng Yu?"

Feng Ning was shocked. She didn't expect Ling Yichen to see what she was thinking. She felt quite uneasy, but she didn't know who to talk to.

So, after struggling for a moment, she nodded hesitantly, looked at him and said, "Yes, my brother said that my sister-in-law is back."

Ling Yichen narrowed his bright eyes slightly, made a questioning expression calmly, and waited for Feng Ning's next words.

Now that she had started talking, Feng Ning no longer concealed anything. Her intuition told her that Ling Yichen could be trusted, so she told the story about Feng Yu and An Lan.

"My sister-in-law and my eldest brother grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Later, my sister-in-law married my brother. Everything was going well, but suddenly a lot of things happened. I was in a car accident and was in a coma for several years. When I woke up, I heard that my eldest brother had

My sister-in-law had a conflict, which was pretty intense, and then..."

She took a deep breath before continuing: "Later, something happened to my sister-in-law at home. She was over-stimulated and committed suicide by jumping off the building while she was in the hospital."

Thinking of An Lan's tragic situation at that time, Feng Ning felt a little unbearable in her heart. She bit her lower lip and said: "After my sister-in-law died, my eldest brother's situation was not right... He, he always felt that my sister-in-law's soul was

, is still with him... He even invited Taoist priests and made a specially made coffin, hoping to keep his sister-in-law's body with him forever."

"Later, he finally agreed to bury his sister-in-law. I thought he had let it go. Even if he still thinks about his sister-in-law, at least he would not torture himself like this. But I didn't expect that he actually told me yesterday that his sister-in-law was back to see him!

"

"I can't believe it at all, this is so ridiculous!" Feng Ning shook his head helplessly, with frustration all over his face.

Ling Yichen patted her hand gently to show encouragement, and asked softly: "He thinks the 'person' is back, so where is that person?"

Feng Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You must have no idea who that person is. Brother said that person is Xia Ruoqi."

The expected answer failed, and the stone hanging in Ling Yichen's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He involuntarily shook his head and denied, "No way, An Lan can't be Xia Ruoqi."
