After saying this, Ye Xinning ignored the old lady and turned back to her office.

The old woman watched her turn and walk away, and shouted angrily, "Do you think I won't do a paternity test? By the time you give birth to the child, will it be too late? My poor grandson has been deceived by you for so long."

Ye Xinning turned a deaf ear.

She realized that she really couldn't understand Shen Lin's grandmother. Sometimes she felt that Shen Lin's grandmother was very clear-headed, but other times she felt that the old woman was mentally unstable because of the things she said. Otherwise, why would she use such vicious words to speculate about her?

"Grandma, I'll say it again: if you think Shen Lin and I aren't a good match, then go talk to Shen Lin. If you think the child in my belly isn't Shen Lin's, then go convince Shen Lin. As long as he believes what you're saying is true, then I will definitely divorce him without hesitation. Until then, please don't bother me at work anymore."

After saying this, Ye Xinning ignored the old lady and turned to leave.

...

Back in the office, just as I sat down, Ye Xiaoxiao came over. "What's wrong, sis? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

"It's nothing." Ye Xinning rubbed her temples, feeling only annoyed.

"Did that old lady upset you again?" She was unwilling to say, so Ye Xiaoxiao could only guess at some possibilities.

"Grandma Shen Lin felt that the child in my belly was not Shen Lin's, which was an insult to me. I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but she saw me hugging Ji Jianshen that day and she wouldn't let it go."

“I said this old lady is crazy. Why does she talk to you like that? No way, I have to go and argue with her. Seriously, how can an old lady say such hurtful things?”

Ye Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was about to walk outside.

Ye Xinning spoke, "Come back."

Ye Xiaoxiao asked incredulously, "Sis, you can tolerate this?"

"She is Grandma Chen Lin. No matter how angry I am, there's nothing I can do. Let it be. At worst, we can just avoid contact in the future."

Ye Xiaoxiao knew that Ye Xinning was only doing this from Shen Lin's perspective. If the old lady were someone else, they wouldn't have put up with it.

...

When Ye Xinning was leaving get off work, she originally planned to go straight back to Ming Mansion with Aunt Wen, but she received a call from Shen Lin while packing her things to leave the office.

"Are you off work yet?"

Ye Xinning was surprised that he would call at this time. "What, aren't you busy with work? Why are you calling at this hour?"

"I'll call you no matter how busy I am."

Ye Xinning felt a warmth flow through her heart, wondering when this person had started to speak so eloquently.

"I'm leaving get off work now, I can't talk to you anymore. You go ahead and do your work, see you at home tonight."

"good."

Ye Xinning hung up the phone, packed her things, and walked out of the office.

Just then, we ran into Xiao Chen. "Are you leaving?"

"Hmm." Ye Xinning looked at the documents in Xiao Chen's hand. "What's wrong? Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

"Yes, there's a case I'd like to ask for your thoughts on."

Ye Xinning figured there was nothing else to do, so she went back to the office with Xiao Chen and talked about the case for a while.

When she finally walked out of the law firm again, half an hour had passed.

It wasn't a big deal at first, but as soon as I stepped outside, I saw that familiar car parked at the entrance.

She stood still, and the security guard said with a smile, "Director Ye, Mr. Shen is here to pick you up. He's been here for quite a while now."

Ye Xinning nodded to the security guard, and the people in the car got out and walked towards her.

"Goodbye, sir." Ye Xinning greeted the security guard and then walked back with the man.

"Were you already there when you called me?" she asked with a smile as she followed Shen Lin.

"Um."

"Why didn't you tell me you were at the door on the phone? That way I could have come out faster and you wouldn't have had to wait so long." If she had known he was waiting at the door, she wouldn't have lingered so long and would have come out sooner.

Shen Lin secretly tightened his grip on her hand, "I'm willing to wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

"But I don't want to keep you waiting any longer."

After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he could clearly sense the change in Shen Lin's emotions.

After getting into the car, Shen Lin pulled Ye Xinning over directly, no longer wanting to hold back, and leaned down to kiss her.

His kisses were always domineering, and even his occasional tenderness left Ye Xinning feeling like she had nowhere to retreat.

At this moment, Ye Xinning's thoughts were also affected by him. She would slowly respond to him and also have some very primal reactions to his actions.

After the kiss ended, Ye Xinning's breathing became a little erratic. Shen Lin didn't say anything, but simply held her in his arms to rest.

A long time passed before Chen Lin finally lowered his head and asked, "Grandma came looking for you, didn't she?"

Ye Xinning didn't want Chen Lin to know about this, "Xiaoxiao told you, didn't she?"

"Yes, she said you felt very wronged at the time."

Ye Xinning knew that Ye Xiaoxiao would definitely tell Shen Lin.

"I feel wronged, but Grandma is old, so I won't hold it against her."

"You should have told me about this," Shen Lin said tenderly, kissing her forehead.

"I knew I'd be putting you in a difficult position if I told you, so I didn't say anything."

"Do you lack confidence in me?"

"no."

Ye Xinning was thinking about how to explain things clearly to Shen Lin.

Shen Lin sighed softly, "I know Grandma has put you in a difficult position. Next time she comes to see you, don't see her. Once she's feeling better, I'll discuss with Dad about sending her abroad to recuperate."

The old lady was Shen Lin's grandmother, a relative he valued highly. Hearing him say that made Ye Xinning feel very content.

As for the old lady, just like she had told Ye Xiaoxiao before, she would ignore her no matter what the old lady did.

"Okay, you can arrange everything," she replied softly.

Looking at the soft and gentle person in his arms, Shen Lin couldn't help but kiss him again.

After another kiss, Shen Lin started the car and asked Ye Xinning, "Tomorrow is the weekend, Xiao Chen didn't arrange any work for you, did he?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"That's good."

Ye Xinning felt that Shen Lin was acting mysteriously and didn't know what he was up to.

"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me. Why are you asking me this?"

"I'm going to take you somewhere tomorrow."

"Where?"

After Ye Xinning asked that question, Shen Lin simply held the steering wheel with one hand and her hand with the other, saying, "It's a secret."

His words made Ye Xinning even more curious, wondering where he was going to take her.

But no matter how she asked, Shen Lin wouldn't tell her, only saying, "You'll know tomorrow."
