Ye Xinning and Shen Lin looked up at the same time. When they saw who was standing in front of them, Ye Xinning stood up in surprise, her eyes showing obvious joy. "What are you doing here?"
Mo Zichen stood there, wearing a white coat, tall and elegant, with a gentle demeanor. "I never expected to run into you by such a coincidence."
Ye Xinning was still quite surprised to run into Mo Zichen here.
She met Mo Zichen through Su Wan, and for some reason, she and Mo Zichen always had a strange tacit understanding and common ground. For example, she didn't like to eat celery, and she was allergic to mangoes, which Mo Zichen also had.
Since they met, Mo Zichen has been very good to her. Mo Zichen once said that her personality is very similar to his sister's.
Perhaps it was because of this inexplicable fate that they got along so well.
Before she and Shen Lin got married, she had told Mo Zichen about Shen Lin's situation, and Mo Zichen would give her some advice. Because of this, their relationship got better and better.
Mo Zichen treats her like a younger sister; their relationship is more like that of a kinship without blood ties, just like her relationship with Su Wan.
"Yes, when did you come to Nancheng? Wanwan came before, but she didn't mention it."
"I came here to help an acquaintance see a patient. It was just work, so I didn't expect to tell you."
Oh, so you came here to handle some work.
Ye Xinning lowered her head, "Is it all done...?"
Chen Lin sat in his seat, his chin slightly raised. Ye Xinning and Mo Zichen chatted a lot, laughing heartily countless times. Mo Zichen was composed and refined. Anyone who could see the relationship between the two was very familiar with it.
This feeling made Shen Lin inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Dr. Mo, did you just arrive or have you finished eating?" Shen Lin asked, his tone unreadable.
Mo Zichen shifted his gaze to Shen Lin.
"Just arrived."
"Are you with a friend? If so, we can't keep that friend waiting too long."
The meaning behind his words was crystal clear; anyone who wasn't a fool would understand.
"Of course, but it's really unfortunate that my friend had something come up and couldn't come. I was just deciding whether to eat here or go back to the hotel to grab something to eat."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning replied without hesitation, "Why don't you eat with us? It's not like I'm neglecting you since you've come all the way to Nancheng."
Shen Lin frowned, remaining expressionless.
Mo Zichen nodded, "Alright." After agreeing, he glanced at Shen Lin, as if seeking his opinion, and said, "Mr. Shen shouldn't mind, right?"
Shen Lin's gaze was unfathomable, but his attitude was very casual. "Dr. Mo, please go ahead."
So, the meal for two became a meal for three.
Ye Xinning and Mo Zichen had a lot to talk about, and their interaction was very natural.
Shen Lin's eyes grew darker and darker. Just then, the phone rang.
He stood up with his phone in hand. "I'm going to take this call. Dr. Mo and Ningning, please eat first."
Mo Zichen only looked away after Shen Lin went to answer the phone and his figure disappeared from sight.
He smiled and asked Ye Xinning, "How have things been going with him lately?"
"not bad."
"Not bad?" Mo Zichen's gaze fell on the celery and pork stir-fry on the table. "This is what you mean by 'not bad'?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips.
She knew exactly what Mo Zichen meant. After knowing each other for so long, he didn't even know he didn't like celery. How could this be?
That doesn't quite make sense.
Ye Xinning didn't know how to tell Mo Zichen about her thoughts.
She lowered her head, looking at the tableware in front of her, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Although saying this may make you feel that I am particularly humble, Shen Lin once gave me warmth. He was like a ray of light shining in my heart. The warmth that I could not get from my mother was given to me by Shen Lin. When I was being chased, he also saved me without regard for his own safety."
"He saved you, and you saved him too." Back when Shen Lin had the accident, Ye Xinning disregarded the car that was about to explode and smashed the window to save Shen Lin. In fact, she saved Shen Lin first, and Shen Lin saved her later.
Ye Xinning slowly shook her head, her gaze still fixed on the bracelet on her wrist as she recalled the past. "It's different."
"You say your relationship has improved, but he can't even remember your preferences."
"I know."
She emphasized softly, "But our relationship has indeed improved recently. He explained Jiang An's situation to me, and he's started to care about me and pay attention to me more lately. I think that's a good start. As for those details..."
Ye Xinning paused here, and after a moment spoke again, "I am rather sensitive, but in a sense these are just minor matters. Shen Lin doesn't know them yet, which doesn't mean anything. Even if it means he doesn't understand me well enough, I'm willing to give him time."
Mo Zichen raised an eyebrow; he was somewhat surprised to hear these words from Ye Xinning.
"What's so good about Shen Lin? Sometimes I really don't understand why you have such a deep obsession with him," he said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Ye Xinning said wistfully, "Maybe this is what they mean by 'once someone appears, no one else can catch your eye anymore.'"
Mo Zichen pursed his lips, clearly unable to understand.
"Indeed, people who fall in love lose their intelligence."
Ye Xinning, "..."
This one has a lot of soul.
She teased, "You're not including Wanwan in that, are you?"
“It’s not just Su Wan, but also Xiang Wange, and your little niece Ye Weiran from Yecheng. None of you are easy to deal with.”
"People always say that birds of a feather flock together, and that's probably the truth of the matter."
Mo Zichen, "..."
This topic is no longer suitable for discussion.
"Shen Lin's medication has been stopped. Have you noticed anything different lately?"
When asked about her memories of Shen Lin, Ye Xinning sighed, "No."
“He couldn’t remember when he was taking the medication, but now that he’s stopped taking it, he might remember soon.”
"I hope so."
...
When Shen Lin returned, Mo Zichen had already left.
The conversation with Ye Xinning at the dinner table had already made Shen Lin uncomfortable. Mo Zichen was a sensible man; a man's possessiveness was formidable, so he decided to leave as soon as possible.
Ye Xinning finished eating and was now sitting in her seat looking at her phone.
When she saw Chen Lin return, she asked, "Did you finish the call?"
"Hmm, where is Dr. Mo?"
"He's leaving Nancheng tonight, he's gone first."
Shen Lin didn't say anything more, and Ye Xinning didn't think much of it either. She muttered to herself, "I didn't know he was coming. If I had known, I would have asked him out for dinner earlier."
As soon as Ye Xinning finished speaking, she saw Shen Lin staring intently at her.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Um."
Without saying a word, Shen Lin took her hand and walked out of the restaurant.
Ye Xinning, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm full of anger."
