Ye Xinning was dizzy from his kiss. Just as she was wondering why Shen Lin had kissed her so suddenly, she heard Shen Lin say, "Someone is looking for you."
Someone's looking for her? Who is it?
Shen Lin ended the kiss, but still held her hand tightly.
"Who's looking for me?" she wondered, wondering who would be looking for her at this time.
"Huo Yanzhi".
Ye Xinning, "..."
She seemed to understand why Shen Lin had suddenly kissed her so hastily.
The kiss came suddenly. She had previously thought that Shen Lin might have been stimulated by something, and now it seemed that he really had been stimulated.
She suppressed a laugh. "So, why did he suddenly come to our house?"
"I don't need to ask you that."
Ye Xinning took the initiative to step forward and gently kissed Shen Lin's lips. "Since we don't know, why don't we go downstairs together and see what he's doing here?"
After she finished speaking, she took his hand and walked out of the bedroom.
Shen Lin's initially bad mood was somewhat relieved by her actions.
In summary, the performance was pretty good.
...
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin went downstairs together. In the living room downstairs, Shen Yu and Huo Yanzhi sat opposite each other, talking about something. It seemed like they were in a very harmonious atmosphere.
"Young Master, Young Madam."
As the maid greeted them, the person on the sofa looked over.
When Huo Yanzhi looked over, Ye Xinning took Shen Lin's arm. To outsiders, the couple seemed very affectionate.
The two of them walked over together. When Shen Yu saw them come down, she didn't say much. She just sat down and told the servants to pour tea for Huo Yanzhi.
As for Shen Lin, he glanced at Huo Yanzhi briefly before looking away, his attitude quite indifferent.
It seemed that Huo Yanzhi's sudden arrival had no effect on his mood.
The three people sat together, none of them speaking, seemingly competing to see who had the most patience.
Ye Xinning couldn't help but chuckle. She took Shen Lin's hand, and the meaning behind this gesture was quite clear, but Huo Yanzhi didn't see it that way.
In the ensuing silent standoff, it was Huo Yanzhi who spoke first.
His gaze remained fixed on Ye Xinning the entire time, without shifting for even a second.
"I heard you were injured, why didn't you tell me?"
"Uncle is worrying too much. I only have a minor injury, it's not enough to alarm you."
With Shen Yu around, even if Ye Xinning didn't want to waste words with Huo Yanzhi, she had to be more hypocritical for the sake of maintaining a calm facade.
"How can you say that? I'm very worried about your injury. We're family. You should have told me about this."
Ye Xinning felt disgusted by the part of Huo Yanzhi's words that was both true and false.
She felt even more depressed when she saw the glaring smile on Huo Yanzhi's face.
"I'm fine. If your uncle only came here to find out this, then you can go back now."
"Alright."
Huo Yanzhi readily agreed. Just as Ye Xinning was looking at him suspiciously, he turned to Shen Yu and said, "Chairman Shen, I haven't seen Ningning for a long time. As an elder, I have a few words I'd like to say to Ningning. Do you think it would be possible for her to see me off?"
Ye Xinning's cold gaze fell on Huo Yanzhi, not expecting him to use Shen Yu as a breakthrough point.
Before she could even refuse, she heard Shen Yu say, "Of course, Ningning, you see President Huo off."
Ye Xinning had no choice but to agree, and before leaving, she whispered to reassure Shen Lin, "I'll be back soon."
Although Shen Lin didn't want her to see Huo Yanzhi off, he felt it would be petty of him to say it now, so he could only nod.
...
Ye Xinning walked out of the Shen family with Huo Yanzhi, and throughout the process she maintained a proper distance from Huo Yanzhi.
"I'm going to eat you?"
Just as she was lost in thought with her head down, the person in front of her stopped at some point.
Ye Xinning didn't raise her head, but spoke in an extremely indifferent manner, "To me, you are more terrifying than a cannibal."
"Is that a compliment?"
Ye Xinning coldly raised her eyes and glanced at him, "You really have no shame."
Huo Yanzhi was not angry or upset by her words. On the contrary, his expression was calm, and even had a warm smile in it.
"Is it because you know I'm very tolerant of you that you act so recklessly?"
Hearing his words, Ye Xinning felt utterly hypocritical. "I beg you, please don't tolerate me. I've seen too many of these pretentious displays of affection; they just disgust me."
After saying that, she lost all interest in seeing him off.
He turned to leave.
But before she could take a step, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and the next second she was pinned under a tree by the roadside.
Ye Xinning stared at Huo Yanzhi in shock, her voice icy, "Huo Yanzhi, are you insane? This is the Shen family home."
"I've gone mad. I went mad the moment I saw you and Shen Lin holding hands. So, is this answer satisfactory?"
Ye Xinning struggled with all her might, but Huo Yanzhi's strength was too great, and she couldn't break free at all.
"You went to the Huo Group before?" Huo Yanzhi asked with a deep gaze.
Ye Xinning didn't expect him to ask about this, so she paused for a moment before readily admitting, "Yes, so what? I went to the Huo Group, what's wrong?"
"Is your business in Canada related to you?"
"Yes, I had it done. Are you angry? Huo Yanzhi, I told you long ago that we can only be enemies. There is no possibility between us. I don't love you, and I will never love you in this lifetime."
Ye Xinning blurted out everything she wanted to say, not caring whether Huo Yanzhi would be angry.
Conversely, if Huo Yanzhi gets angry and furious, he should stop looking for her from now on, which would completely fulfill her wish.
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, Huo Yanzhi stared at her without saying a word.
Time passed second by second, but Ye Xinning's expected anger and resentment did not materialize. Huo Yanzhi simply smiled gently, "You don't love me, you love Chen Lin?"
Ye Xinning had no intention of answering his question. Whether she loved Shen Lin or someone else was none of Huo Yanzhi's business; it was her own affair, and she had no need to give Huo Yanzhi any explanation.
Her silence did not anger Huo Yanzhi; instead, he released her hands, giving her the freedom she wanted.
Just as Ye Xinning was about to turn and leave, Huo Yanzhi slowly spoke, "What's the use of you loving Shen Lin? He'll never remember you in his entire life."
As soon as Huo Yanzhi finished speaking, Ye Xinning stopped in his tracks.
