Ye Rouxin knew that she was still bothered by what had happened before, so she sincerely apologized, "I did not handle things well before. I don't know what was wrong with me during that time. I couldn't control my emotions and did some things that I shouldn't have told you. Please don't hold it against Mom. I won't do it again."
Ye Xinning casually mentioned that so much time had passed, and if she were still angry about it, wouldn't she be making things difficult for herself?
"I was just saying it casually, you don't need to be so nervous."
Hearing this, Ye Rouxin's expression softened slightly.
"By the way, has Shen Lin been very busy lately? Why isn't he back yet, it's so late?"
"It's almost the end of the year, so I'll probably be quite busy."
Ye Rouxin nodded, "That's true. Your relationship is stable now. What are your thoughts on the idea of having a child, which I mentioned to you before?"
Want a child?
Ye Xinning froze, remaining motionless.
Ye Rouxin continued, "Having a child now is a good idea for you. You're at the right age, and in other aspects, it's a perfect time."
Ye Xinning was in a state of turmoil. Whenever it involved her child, she couldn't maintain her composure and remain calm.
"We will make our own decisions, you don't need to worry about it."
Ye Rouxin knew that she was stubborn and couldn't be explained in just a few words, so she gave her a few more instructions before leaving.
After Ye Rouxin left, Ye Xinning remained seated in the same position.
Do you want children? She really hadn't thought about it.
There are still many unstable factors in her current relationship with Shen Lin. Not only is Jiang An still causing trouble, but she and Shen Lin still haven't completely trusted each other.
It's not really the right time to have a child.
When Shen Lin returned home that evening, Ye Xinning was still sitting on the sofa in the same position.
It was getting late, and it had started snowing again outside. It seemed like there was a lot more snow than usual today. Shen Lin walked into the living room, took off his coat and handed it to Aunt Ning. He frowned when he saw Ye Xinning still sitting in the living room with her computer.
"Why are you still in the living room so late?"
Ye Xinning looked up when she heard the voice and subconsciously reached out to hug Shen Lin, but Shen Lin lowered his voice and said, "I'm cold, and you've just recovered from your cold."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and chuckled, "I'm not that delicate."
"You fainted while sick, and you still say you're not that weak?"
Unable to argue with him, Ye Xinning changed the subject, "Why are you so late?"
"Something came up at the company."
Ye Xinning responded with an "oh".
"I heard from Aunt Ning that Mom came by?"
"Mm." Ye Xinning responded, thinking of Ye Rouxin's purpose in coming here, "It's my grandfather's birthday soon, and she wants me to go with them to pay my respects."
"Shall we go?" Shen Lin felt her body temperature rise, pulled her into his arms, and played with her hair as he spoke.
"I'm not going with them, I'm going by myself. I don't want to see Kenneth Fok."
Shen Lin had no objection. "I'll ask Wen Zhu to free up her time sometime then."
Next Saturday.
"Okay, shall we go in the afternoon or in the morning?"
"This afternoon."
"good."
Seeing how cooperative he was, Ye Xinning felt an overwhelming warmth in her heart.
...
The following week, Ye Xinning was very busy. After being promoted to director, she had a lot more things to do, and Shen Lin was just as busy.
On Saturday morning, Shen Lin left home very early. Ye Xinning didn't have any work today, so she went out early to order flowers.
She went to the temple again, something she does every year: to copy scriptures for her grandfather and donate things the temple needs.
Meanwhile, at the Shen Group, Shen Lin was sitting in his office when Wen Zhu knocked on the door and came in.
"President Shen."
Shen Lin looked up, glanced at her, then looked away and continued what he was doing.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Zhu hesitated for a moment, then Chen Lin frowned and said, "Speak your mind."
"When Madam and Huo Yanzhi were at the hospital last time, President Shen asked me to investigate something, and I found it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin put down what he was doing.
"explain."
Wenzhu recounted all the findings of her investigation to Shenlin.
"That night, after leaving home, Madam first sent a package to Beicheng. We don't know who it was addressed to; we can't find out."
"What happened next? Why did she go to the Ye family, and why did she have a conflict with Huo Yanzhi?"
“Wen Yu,” Wen Zhu continued, “that night Wen Yu received a phone call, and the person involved in that call was someone President Shen also knew—Chen Chen, Xie Zhou’s wife from Yecheng. Five years ago, Chen Chen had an abortion performed on his wife.”
As Wen Zhu finished speaking, Shen Lin's expression completely changed. His eyes were filled with an unyielding gloom, and a chilling aura gathered in them, as if it would erupt at any moment.
"What?"
"Five years ago, Madam appeared at the hospital. Huo Yanzhi bribed Chen Chen to make Madam abort the child in her womb. Madam was unaware of all this until that night when Wen Yu investigated the inside story. Only then did Madam go to the Huo family. After experiencing the pain of losing her child, Madam was very emotional, so... that's why the things that happened with Huo Yanzhi later occurred."
Shen Lin's gaze was chillingly cold, and the veins on his hands hanging at his sides bulged. He had considered a hundred possibilities, but he never imagined that Ye Xinning had actually been pregnant with a child.
Whose child is that? Is it Huo Yanzhi's?
If it was Huo Yanzhi's child, why did Huo Yanzhi abort it?
She never told him any of this.
Shen Lin felt an unprecedented anger. At that moment, he was filled with immense jealousy. He couldn't remain rational and couldn't accept that Ye Xinning had once been pregnant with another man's child.
Shen Lin pushed the chair away forcefully, stood up angrily, grabbed the car keys, and walked outside.
He messaged Ye Xinning, learned her location, drove all the way, and finally stopped his car in front of the temple.
When Ye Xinning received Shen Lin's message, she didn't think much of it and assumed that Shen Lin had just finished his work and was coming to pick her up.
Seeing the familiar car parked at the door, Ye Xinning stepped forward and was about to take Shen Lin's arm when the man took a step back.
Ye Xinning was stunned. It was only then that she noticed the coldness on the man's face.
She didn't know what was wrong with him, but she could sense that Shen Lin was angry, and... very angry.
“Sinking down.”
She had just opened her mouth and called his name when Shen Lin reached out, pinched her chin, and spoke in a low voice.
"You were ever pregnant?"
Ye Xinning was shocked, her pupils dilated, wondering how Shen Lin knew.
"You investigated me?"
"Yes, luckily I checked, otherwise how would I have known that my wife had been pregnant with another man's child?" Shen Lin's words were full of sarcasm.
