She was perplexed as to why Brother Ningshen fled so quickly when he saw her. She even prepared a gift for him. Now that he was gone, who should she give his gift to?
“Your birthday is coming soon. Many people will be celebrating your birthday.
I… I’ll give you a gift first.”
With that, she took out an exquisite box and handed it to Shang Ningluo. She had a feeling her brother would take her away after speaking with Shang
Ningyl. sne would not even De able to give ner tne gift tnen.
Sister-in-laws were natural enemies. She had to make her happy first so that she could interact more harmoniously with Shang Ningyi as husband and wife in the future.
Shang Ningluo looked at Xue Fangling, who was fawning over her. It was hard to put into words the mixed feelings she had.
As a fellow woman who was rejected by a man, Shang Ningluo could empathize with Xue Fangling’s feelings. If Qian Yiyun was also at Huayan Peak, she would be like Xue Fangling.
However, she felt sorry for Xue Fangling.
“Thank you, Sister Fangling.”
She accepted Xue Fangling’s gift because she did not want to make things difficult for her.
She would prepare a gift and send it back to Xue Fangling on her birthday. She would not make things difficult for her brother either.
“Thank you for taking the trouble to prepare a gift for me, Sister Fangling.” “It’s no trouble. It’s no trouble.” Xue Fangling shook her head foolishly.
There was nothing troublesome about this. She only had to say a few words. Besides, she was trying to please Shang Ningluo so that she could put in a good word for her in front of Shang Ningyi.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked Shang Ningluo, “Luoluo, how has your brother been recently? Did he talk about me?”
“Uhm!” Shang Ningluo was rendered speechless.
Why would her brother talk about Xue Fangling? It was not like he had nothing better to do!
Even if he had nothing better to do, he would not talk about Xue Fangling. Shang Ningyi spoke most frequently about Qian Jiyun, then An Jiuyue, Qian Jiyun’s wife.
She did not know what had gotten into him. Was there a need to keep mentioning An Jiuyue?
Those who did not know better would think that Shang Ningyi had taken a fancy to An Jiuyue.
In reality, Shang Ningyi had never even seen An Jiuyue. How could he like her?
“My brother has been rather busy recently. I haven’t seen him for a few days.”
She did not know how to respond and had to divert the conversation by using Shang Ningyi’s busyness.
“Sister Fangling, what have you been busy with recently? Has your pill refinement been going smoothly?” she asked.
Xue Fangling knew she had asked in vain and knew Shang Ningyi would not talk about her. She was a little sad and could only speak flatly.
Nothing was going well for her. Shang Ningyi refused to marry her. What was the point of refining so many medicinal pills?
If Shang Ningyi was willing to marry her, she would refine more pills in the future and send them to his camp. Unfortunately, Shang Ningyi rejected all the pills she had refined.
“How’s your pill refinement? Is there anything you don’t know? I can teach you,” she asked Shang Ningluo.
Shang Ningluo raised her eyebrows.
She could not compare to Xue Fangling in terms of medicine refinement. After all, she was from the higher fantasy plane and had a high success rate in medicine refinement.
While she… Forget it. There was nothing to say..
