Upon hearing that she had almost been in a car accident yesterday, Shen Lin's pupils contracted. He pulled her into his arms and checked her over thoroughly, asking, "How did you get into a car accident? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Ye Xinning stood still, while Shen Lin's words were full of worry and anxiety, a state that could not be faked.
She stared at him intently, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke, "Chen Lin, you care about me." She was very certain.
If she didn't care, why would she have been so nervous when she told her that she almost had a car accident?
She had always firmly believed that Shen Lin had feelings for her during their time together, and it was this belief that gave her so much patience with him.
Her words made Shen Lin pause in his actions, then he released her. "You said that just to test me? You didn't lie to me about the car accident, did you?"
When Shen Lin asked this question, Ye Xinning's eyes flashed with a warm smile, "Testing you was real, and the car accident was real too. Yesterday, when I came out of the cemetery, a car suddenly went out of control and drove towards me. It was obviously premeditated. Later, in the blink of an eye, someone else saved me, so I was unharmed."
"Who saved you?" Ye Xinning shook her head. "I don't know. That person drove away afterwards."
Shen Lin frowned; this matter seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
If they didn't know Ye Xinning, they wouldn't have left in such a hurry after rescuing the person; they would have at least said a few words.
If it's someone who knows Ye Xinning, that's even stranger. If they know her and saved her, why didn't they show themselves?
After making his decision, Shen Lin instructed Wen Zhu to thoroughly investigate the matter.
"Any leads on who caused this car accident?"
"No, but I suspect it's related to the Huo family."
"Kenneth Fok?"
"Um."
Shen Lin stopped asking questions, and when the Huo family was mentioned, his gaze turned cold.
Thinking back to what Wenzhu had said before, that Huo Yanzhi had ordered the abortion of Ye Xinning's child, why would Huo Yanzhi do that? Whose child was it? If it wasn't Huo Yanzhi's, then whose was it? How many other people are connected to Ye Xinning?
Shen Lin became increasingly agitated as he thought about it, feeling as if these things were a mystery that trapped him and made him feel like an outsider.
Without saying anything to Ye Xinning, he turned and was about to go inside.
Ye Xinning noticed his movement and reached out to grasp his wrist the moment he turned around.
"Shen Lin," she called his name.
Shen Lin didn't say anything. She took a deep breath and continued, "I know you're unhappy, and I know you can't be careful what I say. So, let me ask you, do you want a divorce?"
Mentioning the word "divorce," Shen Lin's dark eyes blazed with anger. He turned around, his cold gaze falling on Ye Xinning.
"What did you say?"
"Are you doing this to get a divorce?"
Shen Lin grabbed her hand and forced her to look up and meet his gaze. "I told you, I will never divorce you in this lifetime. Ye Xinning, you can't get a divorce if you want to."
Shen Lin was furious; the surge of anger made him lose control of the force in his hands.
Ye Xinning winced in pain, but she wasn't angry.
"If you don't want a divorce, what's the point of you sulking like this, not talking to me, and not going back to Ming Mansion?" Ye Xinning asked.
Shen Lin was speechless, wondering if his actions seemed completely absurd to her. But were he really going to pretend that nothing had ever happened about her past?
He can't do it.
The thought that she had been pregnant with another man's child and that she might have been deeply in love with him drove him to madness. All he wanted to know now was who that man was.
If it wasn't Huo Yanzhi, then who could it be?
Shen Lin didn't say a word, let go of her hand, and strode out of the bedroom.
He couldn't stay calm until he found out who the man was.
As Shen Lin left, Ye Xinning stood alone, the sound of the door closing making her heart grow even colder.
She thought that since she had been so humble, Shen Lin's attitude would be better.
But he remained the same.
Ye Xinning suddenly felt extremely wronged. Clearly, he was the one who had forgotten, he was the one who couldn't remember the past, and she had suffered so much because of this matter, yet she was still the one he misunderstood.
Ye Xinning suddenly didn't want to suppress her temper anymore, so she called Mo Zichen.
The call was answered quickly, and Mo Zichen's voice came through.
"Hey, why are you calling at this hour?"
Ye Xinning rubbed her temples, feeling that this matter was incredibly complicated.
“I have a serious conflict with Shen Lin, and I need him to remember the past.”
"There's really nothing I can do about amnesia. I can only tell you that he might regain his memory, but I'm sorry if you ask me to help you in any way you want."
Ye Xinning remained silent as time ticked by. Just as Mo Zichen was wondering whether to say something to comfort her, she suddenly asked, "What if it's hypnosis?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Zichen on the other end of the phone fell silent.
Regarding this method, he had suggested it to Ye Xinning when Ye Xinning was talking about the situation in Shenlin before, but Ye Xinning refused.
At that time, Ye Xinning's original words were that losing his memory was not what he wanted. In other words, he was also a victim. Forced hypnosis would be too harmful to him. I don't want to use such an extreme method to help him regain his memory.
Now that so much time has passed, Mo Zichen knew immediately that Ye Xinning's sudden mention of this matter meant it was no small thing.
Have you decided to use hypnosis?
Ye Xinning held the phone in one hand, her eyes lowered, a struggle and hesitation in them. "I don't know. Actually, I'm conflicted right now. Before all these things happened, I even thought it didn't matter whether he remembered or not, as long as he had me in his heart, as long as everything was moving in a good direction. But so many things have happened recently that have made me realize that things aren't what I thought. All the warmth between Shen Lin and me now is just a facade. Shen Lin is stubborn and suspicious. Once he's made up his mind, he won't change it. All these things between us are because of his amnesia. The root of all the problems can be solved once he regains his memory."
Ye Xinning said a lot, trying to convince herself with these words, but Mo Zichen clearly knew the struggle in her heart. "But you also feel that doing this through hypnosis will hurt Shen Lin who is currently suffering from amnesia. In fact, from a certain perspective, whether it was before or now, it is still Shen Lin, but it is different for Shen Lin."
