Seeing Ye Rouxin's confident expression, Ye Xinning coughed in anger.
"So, you're just going to ignore my feelings like this?"
Ye Rouxin remained calm and composed, as if she had never taken the matter to heart. "Your idea is immature. Besides, Shen Lin's father is a wise man. He knows how to handle this situation."
Ye Xinning's gaze gradually turned cold.
She knew perfectly well that Shen Lin's father was capable of handling things, as she had been aware of when she received his call.
But does she really want to rely on these elders to keep a man who doesn't love her at all?
Or rather, what's the point of leaving Shen Lin behind, leaving behind this tragic marriage?
Jiang An is pregnant with Shen Lin's child. Can she really tolerate Shen Lin loving another woman?
Ye Xinning knew very well that she couldn't do it.
She decided to marry Shen Lin because she was thinking about the Shen Lin of the past, and that he could regain his memories and remember their past.
But after being married for so long, Shen Lin showed no signs of remembering her at all. Not only did he hate her more and more, but he also got another woman pregnant.
Jiang An's appearance brought her to her senses; the Shen Lin she loved might truly never come back.
If that's the case, what's the point of her persisting? Would she just make herself even more pathetic?
Ye Xinning wouldn't tell Ye Rouxin these things.
So many years have passed, and from the time she left Nancheng until now, she is perfectly clear that her mother cannot understand her, nor could she possibly understand her.
"Where's your household registration booklet?" she asked Ye Rouxin.
The reason she chose to come in was because she thought of the household registration booklet.
To get a divorce, she needed to obtain her household registration booklet. Only with the household registration booklet could she successfully complete the divorce proceedings with Shen Lin.
"Are you really going to divorce Shen Lin?"
“I’ve always been serious, but you just take everything I say as nonsense.”
Ye Rouxin scolded loudly, "What is this if not nonsense? Did Shen Lin agree to it?"
"No, but I always have a way to get him to agree."
“He hasn’t even mentioned divorce, so why are you bringing it up? If it’s really just because of that other woman and the child, I’ll call Shen Lin’s father right now and have him handle it.”
"I told you, Shen Lin doesn't love me, we have no feelings for each other. Jiang An's appearance was just a catalyst. It's best to separate now. Why can't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Love is only a small part of marriage. You are too stubborn. I will not give you the household registration book, and I will absolutely not agree to let you divorce Chen Lin."
After Ye Rouxin finished speaking, she turned around and angrily went upstairs.
Ye Xinning sat on the sofa, feeling a terrible headache.
Without a household registration booklet, even if Shen Lin agrees to a divorce now, she has no way to complete the formalities.
Feeling agitated, Ye Xinning got up and prepared to leave the Ye family.
The maid came out of the kitchen at that moment.
"Young Miss, are you leaving? The food is all ready."
Ye Xinning had no appetite. "Thank you, Auntie, but I don't want to eat. Thank you for your trouble. I'll be going now."
"But……"
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Before Ye Xinning could leave, Huo Yanzhi came downstairs and stood in front of her.
She glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Huo Yanzhi wouldn't let her leave and held her hand.
"Eat something."
"I told you I have no appetite and can't eat, can't you listen to me?" Ye Xinning said in an unfriendly tone.
Huo Yanzhi narrowed his eyes, leaned closer, and lowered his voice, "This is the Ye family home. Are you sure you want to talk to me like this? Believe me or not, I'll be carrying you to the restaurant in the next second."
Ye Xinning looked at Huo Yanzhi in disbelief. Had this man gone mad?
In this family, her brother is her future stepfather, and he is her future nominal uncle.
Just as Ye Xinning was being threatened by Huo Yanzhi and didn't know what to do, the servant looked at the door and suddenly spoke up.
"Son-in-law, you've arrived."
Ye Xinning turned around and saw Shen Lin standing at the door, one hand in his pocket, his eyes cold and piercing.
Why is he here? Is he here to see her, or does he have business at the Ye family?
As Ye Xinning pondered, Shen Lin looked down and saw Huo Yanzhi holding her hand; the two were very close.
Shen Lin's eyes darkened further, but when he spoke, his tone was light, with a hint of a smile.
"I was wondering why you disappeared in the blink of an eye. Turns out you came back here. Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Ye Xinning watched as Shen Lin came up to her and spoke to her intimately, a stark contrast to his usual cold and aloof demeanor.
She didn't answer, she just looked at him.
Shen Lin shifted his gaze to Huo Yanzhi.
"Uncle, what's going on?" His gaze lingered on Huo Yanzhi's arm as he held Ye Xinning's, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Huo Yanzhi had no intention of letting go, but Ye Xinning had had enough of the atmosphere.
She pried Huo Yanzhi's hand away, and the next second, Shen Lin reached out and pulled her directly into his arms.
She resisted, but Shen Lin pinched her waist.
Ye Xinning glared at him in pain.
Unfortunately, this man was incredibly strong, and she couldn't leave his embrace at all.
"Thank you for picking Ningning up, Uncle, but she's still sick, and I was worried about leaving her here alone, so I took her back first. I'll bring her back for a short stay when she's better."
After saying that, Shen Lin left with Ye Xinning without paying attention to Huo Yanzhi's expression.
After leaving the Ye family home, Ye Xinning was taken to the car by Shen Lin.
The man exuded a cold aura, and the car stopped after driving a distance away from the Ye family's residence.
Ye Xinning tried to open the car door.
Unsurprisingly, it was locked.
She rubbed her forehead, leaned back in her chair, and said wearily, "So, what do you want now?"
Shen Lin unbuckled his seatbelt and moved closer to her.
Thinking of the forced humiliation Shen Lin inflicted on her after she returned to the Shen family last night, Ye Xinning shrank back, her voice unsteady.
What are you going to do?
Shen Lin grabbed her chin and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Are you so eager to come back with him even when you're sick?"
Ye Xinning stared into his dark eyes, which were filled with obvious anger.
Last night, because of Huo Yanzhi, he forced her to have sex against her will, and now, because of Huo Yanzhi, he is hurling insults and questions at her.
"Shen Lin, don't you think your actions are ridiculous?" She looked up at him.
"You don't love me, yet you're angry that I associate with Huo Yanzhi. This is a very contradictory thing in itself."
Even if I don't love you, you have no right to be intimate with other men.
"Double standards? Your child is due in a few months." She was so angry that she actually laughed.
"What makes you think you can talk to me about equality? Don't forget, you were the one who wanted this marriage in the first place. You were the one who used any means necessary and forced others to do things against their will."
Shen Lin's attitude was already very clear, which added to Ye Xinning's sense of helplessness.
"Chen Lin, tell me, what do you want in order for you to agree to a divorce?"
"You divorced me because you deeply love Huo Yanzhi? Then why did you marry me in the first place?"
