Shen Lin remained silent, simply looking at her.
After a long while, he took her hand and, ignoring her refusal, led her back to the car.
Ye Xinning still had injuries on her hands, so she didn't dare to struggle too much, otherwise she would be the one who suffered.
She looked at Shen Lin, her eyes questioning what he was doing.
"Are you angry that I'm taking medicine?"
Ye Xinning didn't want him to bring it up again. After seeing him like that last night, she originally thought it wouldn't happen again.
She didn't answer, which Shen Lin took as tacit agreement.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and said seriously, "I don't think this is a reason for you to be angry with me, but if you're really bothered by this, I can choose not to eat."
Ye Xinning wasn't really in the mood to talk to him, but upon hearing this, she immediately looked up, her gaze complex as she stared at Shen Lin, trying to determine how much of his words were true and how much were false.
"Ye Xinning, I don't like arguing, and I don't like to quarrel over unnecessary things. If you don't like something, I can change it. Marriage is a process of adjustment. As long as it ends well, it's all fine."
Ye Xinning was stunned by what Shen Lin said.
She could sense the sincerity in Shen Lin's words and knew that he genuinely wanted to talk to her about this matter.
From the beginning until now, Shen Lin has changed, and this change touched her heart. In the past, she never thought that Shen Lin would say these words to her so gently.
“I threw away all those medicines when I got home last night. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Nanxing anytime. I won’t take any more medicines after this.”
Ye Xinning remained silent for a long time after Shen Lin finished speaking. Just as he was wondering whether he should say something more, a woman's gentle voice rang out in the carriage.
"Didn't you say before that I was being unreasonable?"
Shen Lin didn't want her to remember his words so clearly. He shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Do I really have to say those three words to you?"
His hand landed on her waist, pulling her whole body towards him.
The two were very close. Ye Xinning slowed her breathing, her body stiffened, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"What did you say? I don't understand." She pretended to be stupid.
Shen Lin leaned close to her ear, his hot breath mingling beside her. Just as Ye Xinning was about to push him away, she heard the man whisper a sentence.
"sorry."
Ye Xinning had always known who Shen Lin was.
Paranoid and calm, with an extremely strong desire for control, he likes to be in charge of everything and enjoys the feeling of having everything under his control.
Similarly, he was arrogant and domineering. Ye Xinning had never heard him say the words "sorry" to anyone. In her mind, Shen Lin would never say those three words.
But just now...
Ye Xinning couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart, but she was deeply moved.
She remained silent for a long time, her gaze fixed directly into her eyes.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as acceptance, and we'll go home."
Shen Lin started the car, and it slowly left the hospital parking lot. Ye Xinning turned to the side. Shen Lin looked ahead, and she looked away, then looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. Her expression softened unconsciously. So, it seems that her gamble of marrying Shen Lin back then was worth it?
...
Ye Xinning stayed at home for a few more days until her hand injury was almost healed. The day after the stitches were removed, she went to the law firm.
Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't seen her for many days, and seeing her now was like seeing a savior.
"Sis, you've finally arrived."
Ye Xinning put her bag on the chair and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao.
"What's wrong."
"You have no idea how much trouble I've been dealing with all this data by myself these past few days while you were gone. It's driving me crazy."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "After you are officially promoted, you will also have to take on cases yourself, and the intensity will be the same."
"I was thinking of talking about it later."
Ye Xinning shook her head and turned on her computer.
Ye Xiaoxiao leaned closer again, "Sis, wasn't that your husband's car I just saw? Did he drive you here himself?"
"Why do you talk so much?" She touched her nose awkwardly.
Ye Xiaoxiao teased, "Judging from how my sister and brother-in-law are, their relationship must have improved a lot."
Ye Xinning reflected on her time with Shen Lin and realized it was true.
She and Shen Lin have changed a lot since they returned from the hospital that day.
Shen Lin talked to her much more than before. After this incident, she was able to understand Shen Lin's changes even more. Whether it was talking to her or personally taking her to the law firm, these things would not have happened before.
"Alright, alright, stop gossiping and get back to work."
She sent Ye Xiaoxiao away, but the genuine smile on her lips never faded.
After a long day of work, Ye Xinning received a call from Shen Lin in the evening.
He had an unexpected meeting and couldn't pick her up, so he planned to send his driver.
Ye Xinning thought about it and declined.
Since Shen Lin has to work, it would be boring for her to go back to the Shen family home early, so she might as well go shopping at the mall.
Having made up her mind, Ye Xinning took a taxi directly to the mall.
Sitting in the car, she thought about how "his" birthday was coming up soon and wondered what she should give him.
Just then, it started to snow lightly outside. Ye Xinning looked outside with delight and picked up her phone to check the weather in Beicheng.
It's colder in the north than in the south, and the weather forecast predicts heavy snow.
Ye Xinning put away her phone and smiled; she knew what to give.
...
For the next few days, Ye Xinning would go home very early every day, and as soon as she got home, she would go to her bedroom and stay there all night.
After a week of continuous work, I finally finished what I was doing.
Looking at the finished scarf in her hands, Ye Xinning sighed from the bottom of her heart, "It really wasn't easy."
I thought it was too late, but I managed to finish it in a week.
She put the scarf she had knitted herself into the gift box, then, remembering something, went to find the card.
After writing a message on it, I put the card and the gift box together, wrapped it up, and went out with the bag.
As she was leaving, she ran into Shen Lin, who was returning from working overtime. Seeing that she was wearing a coat and carrying a bag, Shen Lin didn't think much of it and simply asked in a low voice, "Going out?"
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, "I'm going out to take care of some business."
Shen Lin turned to see her off, "I'll go with you."
He had just returned, and Ye Xinning didn't want him to go through all that trouble with her. Just as she was about to refuse, Shen Lin's phone rang.
It was Wenzhu calling. Ye Xinning gestured for him to answer the phone. After Shen Lin finished the call, his brows furrowed, as if something had happened.
Ye Xinning knew he had been very busy with work lately and didn't want to delay him. "Wenzhu needs to talk to you. You go ahead and do your work. I'm just going out for a bit and will be back soon."
Shen Lin pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips, saying, "Be careful."
"Um."
Ye Xinning smiled and nodded. The two parted ways, and she went out and got into the car waiting at the door.
