"I'm sorry," Shen Lin apologized. "I can't give you a reasonable explanation about the child right now, but you have to believe me. I love you, I only love you, and you've always been the only one for me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning raised her hand and slapped Shen Lin across the face again. "Shen Lin, you've already given birth to the child, and now you're telling me this? What do you take me for, a fool?"

She slapped him twice in a row, but Shen Lin still didn't move aside.

Ye Xinning said in a cold voice, "This is your home, not mine. Get out of my way."

“Your emotions are unstable right now. Let’s talk again when you’re calmer. You haven’t been resting well lately, so let Aunt Ning and the others take good care of you these next few days.”

After saying this, Shen Lin strode out of the bedroom.

Ye Xinning watched Shen Lin's departing figure and shouted loudly, "Shen Lin, come back here! I'm leaving now!"

She was met with silence.

Ye Xinning bit her lip, her gaze fixed on the two female bodyguards standing guard at the door.

"Are you planning to keep guarding me like this forever?"

"Madam, please rest well and don't make things difficult for us."

Ye Xinning laughed, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you, I won't make things difficult for you."

Ye Xinning was furious. She turned around and went to find her phone. Since Shen Lin wouldn't let her go, she would call someone to come and pick her up.

However, Ye Xinning searched the bedroom but couldn't find her phone. It was at this moment that Ye Xinning realized how determined Shen Lin was to keep her from leaving the room.

He even took her phone.

Ye Xinning rubbed her temples, feeling that Shen Lin's actions were far too insane.

At the same time, she also realized a fact: if Shen Lin was unwilling to let go, she would have no way to leave Ming Mansion under the current circumstances.

...

Downstairs in the living room, Shen Lin sat on the sofa, with Chi Zhao sitting in front of him.

Looking at the slap mark on Shen Lin's face, Chi Zhao tentatively asked, "You understand?"

Shen Lin nodded, then said, "Mm."

Chi Zhao was not surprised. If he hadn't known, why would Shen Lin look so worried?

What was her attitude?

"She wants to leave Ming Mansion and wants a divorce from me," Shen Lin said to himself, staring at a certain spot.

Chi Zhao nodded and said seriously, "That makes sense. If she could tolerate knowing you have a child, she wouldn't be Ye Xinning."

After Chi Zhao finished speaking, Shen Lin rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you can't speak properly, you can leave."

"What I said is the truth. You can't deny what I said just because you don't want to hear it. So what are you going to do now?"

"I won't let her leave until I've explained it clearly."

Chi Zhao was taken aback. "No way, you're going to restrict her personal freedom?"

"Given the current situation, I have no other choice, Chi Zhao. You need to know that I will never sign the divorce papers again."

Chi Zhao, "..."

All right.

Both of them were silent for a while before Shen Lin finally spoke, "By the way, have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

"It's been investigated, and the French side has given a reply."

Shen Lin stared intently at Chi Zhao. "What was the result?"

“Your things in France are indeed gone. Jiang An probably got them from there.”
