Shen Lin approached the bedside, saw that she was asleep, reached out and brushed the hair from her face to one side, leaned down and kissed her lips.
Ye Xinning was still pretending to be asleep, but his movement caused his eyelashes to flutter, giving him away.
How could someone as perceptive as Shen Lin not have noticed this detail?
A smile played at the corners of his lips.
The next second, he pulled her into his arms and showered her with domineering kisses.
It was no longer possible for Ye Xinning to pretend to be asleep.
She opened her eyes and met Shen Lin's deep gaze in that instant.
The man didn't stop kissing her; instead, he kissed her even more deeply than before.
After the kiss ended, Ye Xinning was a little out of breath, while the man looked at her with a satisfied smile, "Still pretending?"
Ye Xinning blushed, but still didn't want to admit it. "Where did I pretend? On the contrary, why did you disturb my sleep?"
Shen Lin pulled the person into his arms, his tone even gentler than before, "You sleep yours, I'll kiss mine."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Listen to what they're saying.
What does it mean to say that he kisses his own things while she sleeps hers?
Ye Xinning wanted to pretend she didn't know what Shen Nanxing had said, and that Shen Lin was taking medication, but when she saw Shen Lin, she knew she couldn't do it, and she couldn't really pretend she knew nothing and continue to interact with Shen Lin.
She took out the pills placed on the bedside table. Shen Lin was clearly stunned. He looked at her with deep eyes and unpredictable emotions.
Where did you get it from?
"I'll take it from wherever you put it."
Shen Lin remained silent this time, watching her in silence.
Ye Xinning then spoke up, "This medicine is yours, right?"
Shen Lin remained silent, but Ye Xinning knew the answer to the question perfectly. Based on what Shen Nanxing had said, she repeated it to Shen Lin again, "Nanxing told me that you started taking this medicine about two years ago in order to suppress the reappearance of some scattered fragments of memories."
"That's what she told you?"
Ye Xinning noticed Shen Lin's unusual choice of words. She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and opened her lips again, "Shen Lin, I've told you about what happened five years ago more than once, but you've never believed me. Before I knew you were taking medication, I thought you might be unable to accept such an absurd thing as amnesia and mistaking people, but now I know that it's not that you have no chance of remembering, but that you simply don't want to remember."
Chen Lin remained silent, and as time ticked by, he still did not give Ye Xinning an answer that she could accept.
She gradually became disillusioned, and a sense of desolation overwhelmed her.
She didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she threw off the covers, got out of bed, and prepared to leave.
As he passed by Shen Lin, he reached out and grasped her wrist.
"Are you trying to say again that I have amnesia and have mistaken someone else for someone else, and that you were the one who saved me?"
again?
Ye Xinning noticed the cold expression on Shen Lin's face and the sarcasm in his words when he said them.
Disappointment filled her eyes. She pursed her lips and spoke with difficulty, "Chen Lin, in your heart, have I always been someone who lies to you?"
“You weren’t even in Nancheng five years ago. I told you long ago not to bring this up again.”
Ye Xinning stood frozen in place. At this moment, all she had to do was slightly raise her head to see Shen Lin's indifferent expression.
She lowered her head, thinking about what Shen Lin had said. There was no warmth in her eyes, but she laughed to herself.
Yes, all the evidence shows that she was not in Nancheng five years ago, and all the evidence shows that she was sent away five years ago.
But how could he know that at that time, she was not only in Nancheng, but also almost got attacked because she wanted to see him...
Ye Xinning didn't want to recall any details about what happened in the basement back then.
During this time, she got along very well with Shen Lin. Shen Lin would care about her and explain Jiang An's situation to her. It was these daily interactions, which resembled those of a loving couple, that gradually made her lose herself in this illusion.
She mistakenly thought he had feelings for her, otherwise why would he spend so much time first explaining Jiang An's situation, then taking her on a business trip to Yecheng, then secretly finishing his work and going to Beicheng to find her, and even saving her once again?
But the truth is that she misunderstood again.
Her relationship with Shen Lin might just be one of possession and being possessed; she is Mrs. Shen, which is why Shen Lin does these things.
However, he never believed a single word she said.
Ye Xinning couldn't quite describe the feeling; it was very uncomfortable and she felt helpless.
She shook off Shen Lin's hand, trying to calm herself down. "I need to be alone for a while."
Shen Lin chased after her, not wanting her to leave.
"Can you please stop being unreasonable?"
Making trouble out of nothing?
Ye Xinning originally just wanted to be alone, but hearing this made her even more depressed. She didn't want to say too much. Huo Yanzhi had erased all traces of what happened five years ago, and she couldn't provide any evidence to convince Shen Lin of what she was saying.
She felt powerless and didn't know what to do. Perhaps people are inherently greedy. At this moment, she really minded Shen Lin's denial of his past actions.
She hoped he would remember, but his actions disappointed her and made her even more confused about her relationship with Shen Lin.
She didn't know what kind of attitude Shen Lin had towards her—possessiveness?
Or is it a ploy of giving a piece of candy after a slap?
...
After having a falling out with Shen Lin, Ye Xinning originally wanted to leave the Shen family and stay at a hotel for a night to calm down, but as soon as she reached the stairwell, she saw Xi Yuan and Shen Yu sitting in the living room.
She didn't want to bring this up with her elders, so she turned and went to the guest room.
She didn't go out, but Shen Lin did.
Half an hour later, Shen Lin appeared in Shengshi's private room.
He sat opposite Chi Zhao, listening intently.
Chi Zhao held a wine glass in his hand, swirling it idly as he looked at Shen Lin. "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Ye Xinning?"
Shen Lin glanced at him, noticing the schadenfreude in his eyes, and said bluntly, "The blind date Shen Nanxing went on before was quite nice. Perhaps I can talk to my second uncle and have Shen Nanxing marry that person."
"Chen Lin, be a decent human being."
"Have you even acted like a human being?"
Chi Zhao, "..."
That bastard.
Seeing their "brotherly affection," Shen Ting suppressed a laugh; it was truly an unusually exciting experience.
"Brother, did you upset sister-in-law?" Shen Ting asked as she poured them drinks.
“She got angry for no reason, and I don’t think I did anything wrong,” Shen Lin replied matter-of-factly.
