“Every man feels he hasn’t done anything wrong when he makes his wife angry,” Chi Zhao added quietly from the side.

Shen Lin gave him a cold look, and Chi Zhao spread his hands, feigning helplessness, "Am I wrong? Explain yourself, and let's see how you precisely stepped on Ye Xinning's landmines this time?"

Under their watchful eyes, Shen Lin recounted what had happened with Ye Xinning that evening.

After listening, Shen Ting and Chi Zhao both fell silent, neither of them expecting it to be because of something like this.

“She somehow found out about this, and she’s been very aggressive all night. She’s very bothered by the fact that I’m taking medication.”

"So, according to you, she once told you that she was the one who saved you?" Chi Zhao asked, squinting his eyes.

"Um."

“But that’s not right. All of us found the same result: she wasn’t in Nancheng at all during that time. Not only was she not in Nancheng, but we could also find information about her overseas at the same time.”

"So it's really baffling." Shen Lin frowned deeply, his tone icy. "She's clearly not even from Nancheng, yet she insists that she saved me. I really don't know what she's trying to achieve by using such scheming tactics every time?"

Chi Zhao toyed with the wine glass in his hand, his gaze deep. "Is it possible that she wasn't lying?"

"impossible."

Chi Zhao's words were immediately refuted by Shen Lin.

“The results from one person’s investigation can be wrong. All the results we’ve found are like this. Could it be that someone really goes to the trouble of fabricating such experiences?”

Chi Zhao thought about it and realized that Shen Lin's words made sense.

I doubt anyone is that bored and has such a scheming mind.

"Let's not discuss that. Let's get back to the point: you're taking medication simply because you don't want to remember?"

Upon hearing this question, Shen Lin lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

"No." After a long silence, he replied in a low voice.

"Why is that? There must be a reason, right?"

About two years ago, every now and then I would have fragmented, blurry images in my mind. I couldn't see anything clearly, there was no information, but these images tormented me. Every time this happened, my head would throb with pain, and in severe cases, I would even lose consciousness.

"Is that why?" Chi Zhao asked.

Shen Lin lowered his head slightly, his expression flickering in and out under the dim lights of the private room.

"After repeating this many times, I discovered..."

After Shen Lin finished speaking, Shen Ting and Chi Zhao's expressions both became serious.

"If that's the case, then it's understandable that you're taking the medication."

“I’ve been taking medication for the past two years, and I never expected her to find out. I’ve never put the medication in front of her.”

"Is something fishy about this?"

"Why did it have to happen now of all times? Why not earlier or later?" Shen Lin's voice was cold.

Chi Zhao gave him advice.

"Perhaps you could investigate who told Ye Xinning."

"Um."

"So what do we do now?" Shen Ting asked. "My sister-in-law is very angry about this. I guess she won't be able to calm down until you give her an explanation."

Shen Lin remained silent, drinking alone. If he knew how to solve the problem, why would he come here to find them?

Although Chi Zhao likes to tease him, he will still sincerely give him advice when things really happen.

"Perhaps you could try stopping the medication and see."

"My brother said he can't stop taking his medicine, why are you making him stop?" Shen Ting asked anxiously.

Chi Zhao rolled his eyes speechlessly. "He already said that it happened two years ago. Two years ago, he and Ye Xinning weren't married yet, and many things hadn't happened. Things are very different now. Who knows, maybe there will be some unexpected benefits after stopping the medication? Don't you think so?"

Shen Lin lowered his head, thinking about what Chi Zhao had said, his expression unfathomable, his gaze thoughtful.

...

The next morning, Ye Xinning got ready to go downstairs, but before she could even open the door, she heard it open.

She turned her head and saw Shen Lin standing at the door, wearing a light gray coat and with one hand in his pocket.

After last night's conversation, Ye Xinning was no longer able to pretend nothing was wrong when speaking to Shen Lin.

She chose to avoid his gaze, grabbed her things, and prepared to go downstairs.

Shen Lin blocked the doorway, preventing her from leaving. Ye Xinning frowned, but before she could speak, she heard the man's voice.

"Your family doctor is busy, I'll take you to the hospital to change your dressing."

Ye Xinning refused without even thinking, "No need to change."

Shen Lin wasn't angry at her refusal. He continued to talk to her patiently, "The doctor said that you have to change the dressing on time, otherwise you'll recover very slowly. Don't you want to go back to work at the law firm?"

Ye Xinning was fuming. He had a firm grasp on her psychology, which was why he acted this way.

In the end, the two still went to the hospital together. Ye Xinning sat in the passenger seat and didn't say a word to Shen Lin from beginning to end.

When they arrived at the hospital, Shen Lin opened the car door, came over to her, and very naturally took her hand and her bag.

Let's go.

After the doctor finished the examination, he changed Ye Xinning's dressing again.

"Mrs. Chen, please rest well. You should be able to have your stitches removed next time you come."

"Thank you, doctor," Ye Xinning said.

The doctor was very flustered. "Mrs. Shen, you're too kind. This is what I should do."

Shen Lin didn't say anything, but took her hand and led her outside.

Leaving the hospital, it was quite windy outside, so Ye Xinning stood still at the door.

Shen Lin turned to look at her, but didn't say anything.

Ye Xinning, however, could understand his meaning from just one look in her eyes.

He asked her why she wasn't leaving.

Realizing that she could guess what Shen Lin meant from just a glance, Ye Xinning felt bitter. So, no matter what, she really couldn't ignore him.

So is this muscle memory that comes from loving someone for a long time?

The differences in anything are only apparent when compared to others.

Over time, her feelings for Shen Lin have grown deeper and deeper, and she has never let go of him.

But Shen Lin, after the car accident, didn't forget anything except the memories he shared with her. Isn't that ironic?

Her long silence prompted Shen Lin to speak again, "What are you thinking about?"

Ye Xinning raised her eyes and looked at him. His handsome appearance remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Xinning was irritated. "I have other things to do. You go to the company. I'll go back by myself later."

"What is it? I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."

Hearing this, Ye Xinning smiled helplessly, "Shen Lin, I'm not a weak and frail person. What are you doing following me?"

Ye Xinning had said something similar before, but last time she was angry with Jiang An. This time, who was she angry with?

Is it her own, or Chen Lin's?

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Shen Lin's next move stunned her...
