She had always been puzzled as to why Shen Lin's grandmother disliked her so much.
Later she learned that when Grandma Shen Lin was young, the person she liked was her maternal grandfather. However, her maternal grandfather and grandmother were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged since they were young. They were very much in love.
Grandma Shen Lin married Grandpa Shen Lin through a business marriage because she couldn't have the one she wanted. But it was this disappointment of not getting what she wanted that made Grandma Shen Lin hate the Ye family from top to bottom.
Especially her and her mother.
Not long ago, Grandma Shen Lin was unwell and left Nancheng to seek medical treatment and recuperate, which gave Ye Xinning a period of respite. Now that Grandma Shen Lin has returned, Ye Xinning sighed silently as she thought of the unpleasant times they had spent together in the past.
Even before meeting the person, she could already imagine the tense atmosphere that would ensue when they were together.
"Tomorrow, your Aunt Xi and I are going to see an old friend and we won't be able to come. You and Shen Lin will pick up your grandma in our place."
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Yu and Xi Yuan in surprise, "I'm going with him to pick them up?"
"Hmm, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ye Xinning had barely asked the question when Shen Yu asked in confusion.
Ye Xinning, "..."
All right.
What is she supposed to say?
Does that mean she doesn't get along well with Grandma Shen Lin and is unwilling to pick her up?
She couldn't bring herself to say it to Shen Yu.
"Okay." She seemed to have no other choice but to agree.
...
When Shen Lin returned home that evening, he entered the bedroom and saw Ye Xinning sitting alone, looking extremely depressed. Upon seeing him return, she immediately got out of bed.
"You're back?"
"Mmm." Shen Lin walked over, pulled her into his arms, and left a kiss on her forehead.
"What's wrong? Are you tired from work? You look so listless."
Seeing that he didn't mention picking up his grandmother at all, Ye Xinning asked, "What's wrong? Didn't Daddy and Aunt Xi tell you?"
If he had spoken up, he shouldn't have acted that way.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Shen Lin asked.
"Dad and Aunt Xi have something to do tomorrow, so they asked me to go with you to pick up Grandma. Grandma will be back tomorrow."
"Oh? What's going on with them? They're not even going to pick up my grandma? Aren't they afraid she'll cause a huge scene when she gets back?"
Ye Xinning felt that his focus seemed a little off.
Do you remember your grandmother's relationship with me?
"You don't like her?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
She now understood what it meant to turn the tables and shift the blame.
"It's not that I don't like her, it's that she doesn't like me," Ye Xinning muttered under her breath. "If she were as easy to get along with as Aunt Xi, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
"You have to understand, she's getting old."
Ye Xinning muttered softly, "I understand. If I didn't understand, how could I have tolerated her until now?"
When she first married Shen Lin, Shen Lin's grandmother disliked her very much. Not only did she often make things difficult for her, but she also brought other young ladies from prominent families to the house in front of her several times, telling them what kind of daughter-in-law she preferred.
However, because Shen Lin said that his grandmother had taken care of him and loved him when he was a child, she convinced herself not to argue with an old woman.
"Then I'll have to trouble Mrs. Chen a little more and go to the airport with me tomorrow." He said, while playing with her hair.
Ye Xinning took her hair out of his hand and whispered, "What if she's unhappy because I picked her up?"
No, it won't.
Ye Xinning found Shen Lin's words utterly unbelievable.
"If she's unhappy, then I'll leave first, and you can wait for her yourself."
"good."
Ye Xinning was satisfied after receiving this affirmative answer.
She pushed Shen Lin away, "Go take a shower quickly."
Shen Lin put his arm around her waist, lowered his head, and pressed his nose against hers intimately, saying, "Let's do it together later."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Before she could speak, Shen Lin's kiss landed on her lips.
Then a kiss gradually turned into a journey to the bed, to the bathroom... By the time Shen Lin finished, Ye Xinning had no strength left.
This man has really shown absolutely no restraint lately.
...
The next day.
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin set off together to pick someone up at the airport. Ye Xinning was wearing a white down jacket. The weather outside was very cold, and a coat alone was no longer enough for her.
Although she loves beauty, she doesn't want to freeze herself to death just because of it.
But when she saw that Shen Lin was also wearing a white down jacket, she was instantly stunned.
So, does this count as matching couple outfits?
As she was thinking this, Shen Lin had already come to her side. The clothes he was wearing were from the same brand as hers, and they were even a couple's style.
She had her maid pick this dress up for her when she injured her hand last time. It's from her favorite brand, and they call her every season to check out their new arrivals. But when she got the call, she wasn't really in the mood to look at anything, so she just told her maid to pick out a few suitable pieces.
But now, Shen Lin is wearing the same style as her...
Ye Xinning was still very surprised, and this surprise kept her silent for a long time.
How did you get these clothes?
"Can't I have it?" Shen Lin's rhetorical question successfully shut down everything she wanted to say.
Yes, maybe it's just a coincidence. How could someone like Shen Lin really buy an outfit just to match her style?
"I'm going to change my clothes."
She was walking toward the dressing room when Shen Lin pulled her back after only a few steps.
"There's no time! Grandma just got back. Do you want to be late?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Although she felt that Grandma Shen Lin's dislike for her wouldn't change because of her lateness, she had promised to pick her up, and being late wouldn't be good either, so Ye Xinning compromised.
The two went downstairs. There weren't many people around. Shen Lin asked, "Didn't Shen Ting come back last night?"
"No, the second young master hasn't been coming back much lately."
Shen Lin frowned. Ye Xinning knew that Shen Ting hadn't been back much lately, so she asked, "Should we invite Shen Ting to come along?"
"No need," Shen Lin replied. "They're probably still drunk."
"What, drinking?"
"Otherwise, why do you think he didn't come back?"
Ye Xinning realized that Shen Tingjiu had rarely returned since Su Wan's last visit, so it all came down to Su Xiangsi.
Let's go.
Shen Lin and she set off for the airport together.
The two arrived at the airport and didn't have to wait long before they saw the old lady coming out of the VIP lounge. The old lady was elegant and noble, wearing sunglasses and walking in a very high-profile manner, which made it clear that she was either rich or noble.
Ye Xinning was about to follow Shen Lin to greet them, but the person who appeared in front of Shen Lin's grandmother the next second made her stop in her tracks.
