Seeing his reaction, Ye Xinning became even more certain of her thoughts.

She was so angry at his double standards that she was in a bad mood.

"You've slept with Jiang An, you've been making love to each other, and I don't even find you disgusting. Shen Lin, how dare you look down on me?"

She was very rude, but Shen Lin just frowned and told her not to swear.

Ye Xinning, "..."

She suddenly became curious about something, "Chen Lin, when you're with Jiang An, what's the difference in your mental and physical feelings compared to when you're with me?"

"You want to know?" He suddenly leaned closer, their breaths mingling, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Ye Xinning knew what he was thinking without even guessing, and she pushed him away.

He turned off the tap, turned around and walked out of the bathroom, talking as he went.

"If Mr. Shen finds me repulsive, that's fine too. I find him disgusting as well. Why don't we part amicably and get a divorce sooner?"

Shen Lin followed her to the bedroom. As she passed the large bed, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her onto the bed with force.

Ye Xinning resisted and tried to get up, but he took the opportunity to press down on her.

“Sinking down.”

She pushed him angrily, but he didn't move.

She raised her leg to kick his groin, but Shen Lin seemed to have known her intentions and pressed down on her leg first.

"Trying to use the same trick again?" He bit her earlobe, his voice ambiguous.

Ye Xinning, “…” So this man still remembers what happened last time.

It's her fault for being careless; she should have tried a different approach.

"Chen Lin, I don't want to do it, let me go."

She expressed her thoughts directly. Whenever she thought of Jiang An and the complicated relationship between them, her gaze towards Shen Lin would become much more complex.

Shen Lin kissed her forehead, his hand stroking her hair gently, the gesture carrying an indescribable ambiguity.

"I want it."

With just three words, he conveyed his attitude.

Ye Xinning, "..."

Under Shen Lin's absolute power, Ye Xinning's refusal had no effect whatsoever.

It had probably been a long time since they had done *that*, and Shen Lin was quite restless, not letting go of her until midnight.

The moment she gained her freedom, Ye Xinning felt so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Shen Lin lay on the bed, the little woman beside him breathing lightly, her brows still tightly furrowed even in her sleep.

He reached out and smoothed her brow, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips.

Before going to sleep, he kissed her lips as if possessed.

"I'm not dirty."

...

The next day.

Ye Xinning woke up naturally, and when she opened her eyes she saw that it was already ten o'clock, and she was instantly startled awake.

Shen Lin was no longer in bed. Remembering that there was a routine morning meeting, she hurriedly started getting ready.

It's all Shen Lin's fault. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have slept until this late.

Also, why didn't her alarm clock go off?

Ye Xinning quickly tidied up and went downstairs, where only Xi Yuan was downstairs.

"Good morning, Ningning. I'll have the maid prepare breakfast for you."

"No need, Aunt Xi, I'm going to the law firm. Goodbye."

She was in a rush and flustered state, so Xi Yuan didn't know what to say.

"Okay, then go ahead, be careful on the road."

We arrived at the law firm.

The morning meeting ended long ago, and everyone was busy with their own things.

Ye Xinning sighed, feeling helpless.

She put her things away and went to Xiao Chen's office.

"Knock knock".

"Come in."

She pushed open the door and went in. Xiao Chen was sitting at his desk and seemed a little surprised to see her.

"Didn't you say you were taking a day off?"

Ye Xinning exclaimed, "What? Taking a day off?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Xiao Chen made a connection and understood something.

"Chen Lin called me this morning and said that you have something to do and can't come, so you're taking a day off."

It turned out to be Shen Lin. Ye Xinning frowned, wondering how this man had unlocked her phone.

"What's wrong? Has your relationship improved?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"Are you so happy to be making fun of me?" she said with a hint of helplessness.

Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.

"The morning meeting is over. Is there anything you need to tell me?" she asked Xiao Chen.

"It's nothing, just talking about the upcoming work. You'll be going on a business trip with me, so don't worry about that."

"Okay, I'll go out then."

...

Because she was going on a business trip for the next few days, Ye Xinning quickly organized the cases on her hands and met with the clients she was supposed to meet.

That day, Ye Xinning set off for Beicheng on a business trip. Before leaving, she only told Xi Yuan about the business trip.

Ye Xinning hadn't expected to receive a call from Shen Lin after landing.

Holding her phone, she asked in a calm tone, "Mr. Shen, is there something you need for this call?"

"You went on a business trip without telling me in advance?" Shen Lin remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, his voice cold and deep, revealing a hint of displeasure.

Ye Xinning stood by the roadside, waiting for the car with Xiao Chen.

Upon hearing this, she curled her lips into a smile, her tone unhurried, "Mr. Shen, is there some misunderstanding about our marriage? Do I need to tell you where I'm going?"

Her attitude was very unfriendly; she hung up the phone before Shen Lin could even speak.

Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Xiao Chen glanced at her from the side and asked, "Was that Shen Lin's call?"

Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, thinking the conversation would end there. But then Xiao Chen asked, "It seems like things have calmed down a lot lately. You probably don't want a divorce anymore, right?"

Ye Xinning remained silent, pondering how to answer Xiao Chen's question, when the car that was supposed to pick them up stopped in front of her.

Xiao Chen smiled gently and got into the car first.

And so, the problem was left unresolved.

Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief at the situation, and then pondered Xiao Chen's words. It seemed that he had just said it casually and was not really serious about the matter.

...

After checking into the hotel and resting for an afternoon, Ye Xinning washed up in the evening and went with Xiao Chen to the restaurant to meet their business partner, Mr. Li.

This case is a share inheritance case, which is a bit complicated.

Since it wasn't in the southern part of the city, Ye Xinning couldn't help but pay attention to the special features of this case, and subconsciously made herself more careful with her words.

The other party offered very generous terms, and Xiao Chen handled most of the communication. He originally thought things would go smoothly, but halfway through the conversation, Mr. Li, the partner, received a phone call. After hanging up, when he spoke again, his intentions were completely different from before.

"I apologize to both of you, but I would like to reconsider this matter further, as it is not a trivial matter."

It's not a small matter, so why didn't you refuse in the first place?

Ye Xinning couldn't understand it. After Mr. Li left, she looked at Xiao Chen, and it was clear that Xiao Chen hadn't expected such a turn of events either.
