The dark alley was unusually quiet at this moment, so quiet that only slow sobbing could be heard. A faint voice was crying, and Xu Fan stepped forward.

"Sister, I'm sorry," she said softly, gently holding Zhao Liqin's shoulder.

"Get out, get out!" Zhao Liqin's tears streamed down her face, and her sobs grew louder, so clear in the dark alley.

"Sister!" Xu Fan didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only gently touch his head to the top of Zhao Liqin's head.

"Go away! Go find your beautiful experiences, go! Don't worry about me." Zhao Liqin pushed Xu Fan's hand off her shoulder, sat on the ground, hugged her knees, put her head in her knees, and tears slowly fell.

"Sister," Xu Fan knew that when he got into Xia Ziying's car earlier, she had seen it. He really didn't know what this meant, what their relationship was. Perhaps only they themselves knew, or perhaps they didn't even know themselves.

"Lin, you don't want me anymore, do you? You don't want your sister anymore, do you?" Xu Fan gently placed his hands on Zhao Liqin's shoulders again and gently hugged her. Zhao Liqin suddenly turned around and hugged Xu Fan tightly, sobbing as she spoke.

From a distance, Sun's mother rushed over anxiously, calling out, "Yan!" But before she could finish, she heard Xu Fan and his companion's conversation and stopped speaking. Instead, she stood at the corner, quietly listening to their exchange.

"How could that be? You're my sister! How could I not want you?" Xu Fan hugged Zhao Liqin tightly, tears streaming down his face. Their feelings for each other were always intertwined, and it was still the same at this moment. However, it was true that the two of them could no longer live without each other.

"I'm not your sister, I'm not!" Suddenly, Zhao Liqin released her grip on Xu Fan, clutched her head, and shouted loudly. In the darkness, her voice echoed across the land, clearly reverberating in every corner.

Boom! Xu Fan's head was spinning. What did this mean?

"I'm not your sister, I'm just an adopted child, I'm not your sister!" Zhao Liqin hugged Xu Fan again, tears welling up in her eyes like a fountain, unstoppable.

In the distance, a tear welled up in Sun Qing's eyes and finally fell. Yes! Zhao Liqin was not her biological daughter. 21 years ago today, because they were unable to have children, they accidentally had a baby and brought it home. That child was Zhao Liqin. That day was also Zhao Liqin's birthday. Today is that same day.

Sun Qing felt a pang of guilt. Perhaps her husband and she had talked about the child at some point, and the child had overheard them. But the child's life was so hard! Sun Qing slowly left that place and returned home to pour tea for Xia Ziying.

"Sister!" Xu Fan gently called out in Zhao Liqin's ear. He knew that his sister must have suffered some kind of blow at this moment. She had never told him about these things before, and he could imagine how much pain she was in.

"Happy birthday, sis," Xu Fan said softly. "Don't cry, okay? I have a birthday present for you."

"You haven't forgotten?" Zhao Liqin asked softly, her pure eyes glistening with tears of longing.

"How could that be?" Xu Fan chuckled, then helped his sister up. "At home, it will definitely surprise you."

The room was very comfortable. Sun Qing and Xia Ziying chatted for a while. When they walked into the courtyard, Xu Fan smiled gently and said, "Sister, your eyes are covered."

"Why are you blindfolded?" That's how girls are; they cry nonstop when they're crying, but they can stop just as quickly.

"You'll find out soon enough." Xu Fan didn't explain, but simply chuckled softly.

In the distance, Sun Qing and Xia Ziying came out after hearing the sound. Xia Ziying walked quietly to Xu Fan's side. Zhao Liqin only had her mother in front of her, and her eyes were closed tightly, looking forward to the birthday gift that Xu Fan would bring her.

"Happy birthday," a soft voice uttered by Sun Qing, each word striking Zhao Liqin's ears and heart.

"Mom!" Zhao Liqin's eyes snapped open.

In that instant, all of Zhao Liqin's grievances seemed to turn into tears; in that instant, all of Zhao Liqin's sadness seemed to disappear; in that instant, Zhao Liqin cried tears of joy, quickly ran up, and hugged Sun Qing tightly, tears streaming down her face.

In that instant, when Zhao Liqin heard his mother say "Happy Birthday," he felt like the happiest person in the world. In that instant, he felt that heaven was still looking out for him. In that instant, he realized that there was a kind of feeling called motherly love.

"Mom! You're finally awake." Zhao Liqin said, sobbing as she hugged Sun Qing tightly, a hint of happiness in her eyes.

"Yes, my Yan'er has lost weight." Sun Qing pretended not to hear what she had just heard, gently patted Zhao Liqin's shoulder, her nose tingled, and tears fell again.

"Mom!" At this moment, perhaps only calling out to her mother could express that feeling; there was no other way! Because everything else seemed so superfluous; only those calls of "Mom" resonated in Sun Qing's ears, truly conveying her longing.

"Sister Yan, don't cry." Xia Ziying walked up gently and leaned against Zhao Liqin. Her voice was so beautiful and alluring, like heavenly music, that even Zhao Liqin's heart trembled.

She nodded, sobbing, and let go of her mother. She looked at Xia Ziying, but tears still streamed down her face. Sun Qing and Xia Ziying were both puzzled, their eyes filled with questions.

"Are you Manager Xia?" Zhao Liqin asked, still harboring her doubts. After all, her brother was her brother. It was good that he had a girlfriend. This Xia Ziying seemed quite nice. Zhao Liqin comforted herself with these thoughts, though only she knew what she truly felt.

"Yes, you can call me Ziying." Xia Ziying smiled gently. Sun Qing, who was next to her, said, "Yan'er, Ziying is a miracle doctor. She cured my illness."

Ah! Zhao Liqin was clearly a little surprised. My God, such a beautiful woman is actually a miracle doctor? How is that possible? This afternoon, Xu Fan and Xia Ziying left together, just to treat patients. And I was actually jealous here. Cough cough, I guess you could call it jealousy.

Zhao Liqin suddenly realized that Xu Fan had just mentioned giving her a birthday present, which turned out to be her mother waking up. This present was too expensive.

"Thank you," Zhao Liqin said sincerely to Xia Ziying.

"Hehe, Sister Yan, no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your brother!" Xia Ziying added with a light smile, "She's the one who helped me heal her. Auntie was able to wake up because of Xu Fan."

A hint of sadness flashed across Zhao Liqin's eyes, though she couldn't quite explain why. Xu Fan walked up to her and said softly, "Happy birthday," before adding, "Go inside! You can't just stand at the door."

The group exchanged smiles. The house was filled with warmth and comfort, finally feeling as comfortable as before. Even though they were dirt poor, everyone had a smile on their face. Perhaps this was happiness!

The group chatted for a while, and as night deepened, it was already midnight. Xia Ziying looked at the sky outside, stood up, and said to Sun Qing and the others, "Auntie, Sister Yan, Xiao Linzi, I have to go!"

"It's so late, don't go back." Sun Qing stood up and said, but then suddenly thought of the situation at home and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Auntie, I'll definitely stay next time. You and Sister Yan want to chat tonight, so I won't disturb you." Xia Ziying smiled gently, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"I'll see you off." Xu Fan stood up and followed. Xia Ziying smiled gently and didn't refuse. A fleeting hint of melancholy, unnoticed by others, flashed in Zhao Liqin's eyes.

"Oh! By the way, Sister Yan." Xia Ziying turned around suddenly as she walked out the door, giggling, which startled Xu Fan.

"Hmm?" Zhao Liqin asked, puzzled.

"Your birthday present tonight was pretty good, wasn't it? If you'd like, you can repay me with your body. Goodbye," Xia Ziying said jokingly, then turned and walked away without looking at Zhao Liqin's reaction. Zhao Liqin blushed and said softly, "I'm his sister!" Sun Qing stood there without saying a word, letting things take their course.

“She’s my sister,” Xu Fan said softly as he escorted her to the door, to the red Audi.

"Why are you explaining to me? Anyway, you're my secretary now. Remember to come to work tomorrow." Xia Ziying smiled lightly, ignored Xu Fan, got into her car, and sped away without even waving goodbye. Xu Fan watched the red shadow slowly disappear. It seemed that his position had really changed from today onwards. Life is truly unpredictable, always becoming unpredictable and always deviating from one's expectations.

Xu Fan returned to his room, chatted for a while, and then got up to go to sleep. Zhao Liqin and his aunt were very talkative, and he, as a boy, felt embarrassed to share secrets.

In an elegant villa, on a pink Simmons bed, the girl tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She didn't know what she was thinking about. Ever since she met that boy, she couldn't help but think about him. What was this?

*Snap!* The beautiful woman, rolling around in a loose, light yellow nightgown, looked incredibly sexy and alluring, making everyone's imagination run wild. However, she accidentally bumped into her own phone.

I opened my phone, opened my contacts, and flipped through them one by one, only to find that I had no one's number to call. I was stunned by one number, a smile suddenly appeared on my lips, and I gently pressed the call button, but then immediately hung up.

She patted her heart anxiously, thinking that the other person might be asleep, but the beautiful woman still couldn't help but type a few words and send them via text message.

Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!

As soon as he entered his room, his phone rang. Zhao Liqin glanced at Xu Fan but didn't say anything. Xu Fan took out his phone, lay down on the bed, and turned it on. It was Xia Ziying calling.

"Male secretary, are you asleep?"

Uh! Xu Fan was a little surprised. What's going on in the middle of the night? Don't make me go to her now, that won't do. Although it's okay to have a secretary, I still need to sleep. I can't let her have sex with me. Cough cough, Xu Fan's mind wandered again, but he still replied.

"Go to sleep right away. What about you? When did you get home? Why aren't you asleep yet? Is something wrong? Are you tired today?"

A text message came in a moment later, and Xu Fan was dizzy looking at it.

"So many questions, which one should I answer? Okay, I'll answer them one by one. I got home early, and you're only asking now. It seems my secretary still doesn't care about me. Remember, a secretary must care about everything in my life. Cough cough, don't overthink it. I can't sleep! Silly, it's more like I can't text you unless there's something wrong. I'm tired, especially getting acupuncture. You have no idea how much energy that takes."

Xu Fan looked at the reply, his face darkening at the word "idiot." His mind went completely blank; he couldn't understand anything. Looking at that single word, he couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. Sometimes, Xia Ziying wasn't just pretty; she was actually a really nice person. She always wore a faint smile, and was always so calm and composed, no matter the situation.

===Chapter 1023 System Secret Techniques===

"If you're tired, get some rest. You have to go to work tomorrow." Lying in bed, Xia Ziying was quietly anxious when her phone suddenly rang. She opened it, snorted inwardly, "I told you I couldn't sleep, and you still won't chat with me for a while. Humph."

"Oh, okay, got it. Thanks for your concern. Get some rest, see you tomorrow." Xia Ziying snorted and typed a few words.

Then, seeing the simple two words "Goodnight" in the reply, I felt a surge of joy, a slight smile appeared on my lips, I closed my eyes, and soon fell asleep. Sometimes it's like this: we've been busy all day, and in the end, what we really need most is someone to care about us, someone to say goodnight at the end.

Sometimes all we're waiting for is just those two simple words, but everyone knows that these two times are too much to ask for; no one is willing to repeat them to you every day.

"Sis, get up and go to work." As always, Xu Fan got up early in the morning, made breakfast, and called out. The two of them always took turns making breakfast, which was something Xu Fan specifically requested, because he didn't want to see his wife working so hard all the time.

"Xiao Fan, can you help me ask for a day off? I'm so tired today!" A lazy voice came from inside the house. Xu Fan knew immediately that his aunt and cousin must not have slept at all last night, otherwise their voices wouldn't be so weak.

Xu Fan agreed, "Okay, I understand. Breakfast is on the table. Heat it up yourself after you get up. Auntie is feeling better and shouldn't move around too much."

Xu Fan ate something quickly and then set off for work. He went to the bus stop alone. At that moment, Xu Fan was suddenly filled with many feelings. He suddenly felt empty beside him. Every morning at this time, he should be with his cousin, but today he was all alone.

The sudden change of a habit that one has long been accustomed to is always so hard to let go of. Xu Fan suddenly felt that his cousin had drunk again yesterday. She was always so competitive. She never talked about her worries and bore everything alone, never complaining.

Whenever she was too exhausted to bear it anymore, she would numb herself with alcohol. A girl, because she was bearing too much, had no choice but to use alcohol to relieve her boredom.

Xu Fan suddenly felt a strong longing for Zhao Liqin. He couldn't explain why or what the feeling was, but standing at the bus stop and on the bus, he always felt an emptiness around him. Perhaps at this moment, Xu Fan finally understood Zhao Liqin's feelings yesterday!

"Xiao Fan. Is the chairman looking for you?" He had just arrived at the company and went straight to his duty room, but at that moment the fat man came over.

"Ah! Oh!" Xu Fan was a little surprised. Who was he? Who was the chairman? They were people that he, a nobody, could hardly compare to. Why would he suddenly come to him? Of course, Xu Fan wouldn't refuse. Without much hesitation, he walked directly towards the chairman's office.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Xu Fan knocked on the door three times easily, a basic fact he knew. He stood quietly at the door, and a beautiful voice came from inside. It wasn't the kind of voice that was seductive or alluring, but rather a mature and steady one.

"Please come in!"

Xu Fan pushed open the door and entered. Inside was a middle-aged woman. No, actually, that's not quite right, because the term "middle-aged woman" only applies to her age. In fact, the woman in front of Xu Fan looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her face was light pink with a layer of makeup, and her lips were a light red.

He was sitting at his desk, a cup of coffee in one hand, which he sipped and then put down, while the other held a document. He nodded and shook his head occasionally. Xu Fan walked in and saw the chairman busy at work. He didn't say anything and just stood there.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Time ticked by, and Xu Fan had been in the office for over half an hour. If he were to look at the documents, he would have already reviewed all ten of them, but the director seemed to have forgotten about him, ignoring him completely and continuing to look at the documents.

She picked up her coffee, about to drink it, when she suddenly realized the cup was already empty. Without a care, she gently put the cup down and looked at Xu Fan in the distance. Xu Fan was staring intently at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Make me a cup of coffee?"

Ah! Xu Fan's mind went blank. My God, she made him stand here for half an hour just to wait for her to finish her coffee and make her some. My God, this is reality! Naked! Naked reality. Of course, Xu Fan was unaware of any other purpose.

"What? You don't want to?" The boss's face darkened slightly, and Xu Fan instantly snapped out of his daze, swallowed hard, and quickly said, "No, no, it'll be ready soon."

Xu Fan held his coffee cup, making coffee, his heart pounding with fear. He had almost been fired, but thankfully, the chairman wasn't too unreasonable.

Having worked at the company for so long, Xu Fan had managed to learn how to make coffee. He easily made a cup, brought it over, and handed it to the chairman.

Chairman Wang smiled slightly, ignored the coffee, and said softly, "Have a seat!"

Sit? Xu Fan was a little suspicious. Why was he being asked to sit for no reason? Good heavens, was this some kind of prank before firing him? He didn't think he had offended this young and beautiful "middle-aged woman" at all!

"It's up to you whether you sit or not," Wang Qian said casually without explaining.

"Oh!" Xu Fan nodded. "Let's sit down. It's more comfortable than standing."

"Your name is Xu Fan?" Wang Qian asked softly, her tone inscrutable, a calm indifference.

"Mm." Xu Fan nodded.

"Okay, very good, go ahead!" Wang Qian looked him over carefully, nodded to indicate that she understood, and without saying anything more, told Xu Fan to leave.

"Ah! You're fired already? Give me a reason!" Xu Fan was so frightened that he jumped up instantly, hunching over and saying anxiously.

puff!

Wang Qian had just taken a sip of coffee when Xu Fan's words made her spit it out, her eyes red as she glared at him.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Xu Fan was extremely frustrated. He had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead. Although he didn't want to, the meaning was too close to the truth. He had only wanted to confirm, but now, even if it was fake, it seemed real.
