Ye Xinning was so angry at Shen Lin's narcissistic and domineering words that she almost laughed.
She looked at Shen Lin, saying nothing, but trying her best to break free from his grasp.
"Let go of me."
After several fruitless attempts, she felt somewhat helpless.
Shen Lin refused to let go no matter what.
“If you don’t want to go back to the Shen family, I’ll take you back to Ming Mansion and bring Dad and Aunt Xi over.” Shen Lin thought this was a compromise.
But Ye Xinning felt that this was blurring the key point.
She stood there, her eyes meeting Chen Lin's, and after a long while she spoke.
“Chen Lin, I think I can tolerate it once or twice, but this has happened so many times. Everyone has their limits. Do you understand what I mean?”
Shen Lin remained silent, staring intently into Ye Xinning's eyes, seemingly expressing his bewilderment with this attitude.
Now that things have come to this point, Ye Xinning had already mentally prepared herself for many things to say.
She looked at Shen Lin, took a deep breath, and finally said those words.
"Shen Lin, after careful consideration, I think we should get a divorce."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin froze on the spot, his breathing becoming erratic.
He stared at Ye Xinning in silence for a long time before finally speaking.
"What did you say?"
His voice was several decibels lower than before, and it was clear that he was suppressing his anger.
In the past, Ye Xinning might have pondered whether she had acted impulsively because of Shen Lin's opposition.
But this time she was absolutely certain that she and Shen Lin had indeed reached this point.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Chen Lin, one thing I've been thinking about these past few days is whether it was right or wrong for me to disregard everything and marry you, starting this tragic marriage. But whether it was right or wrong, it's already begun. My pride doesn't allow me to say I regret it, but if I could do it all over again, I certainly wouldn't be so impulsive. I should analyze the reality more rationally. For example, you don't love me, and in your heart, I'm a ruthless person. I once thought that with the passage of time, I would eventually move you, and you would eventually remember my goodness. I don't mean unconditionally trusting me, but at least being able to examine our relationship as a wife would."
Ye Xinning paused briefly as he composed himself. He used to think that it didn't matter whether he said these things or not, but now that he had laid everything out in his mind, he felt inexplicably sad.
"But I was wrong. There are too many problems between us. Unequal love between us can't go far. I always have some inexplicable expectations of you, and then I get disappointed because these expectations don't meet my needs. Some emotions accumulate in my heart and eventually erupt like a volcano. I admit that I am not a person who can tolerate endlessly, and I also admit that I am somewhat extreme in handling things most of the time. I have thought too much. I don't want to continue this marriage that has no goal and no hope. So let's get a divorce. You are free and I am free. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on. You don't have to let my emotions affect you, and I will no longer have too many hopes for you because of my subconscious thoughts."
Ye Xinning spoke at once, explaining her truest thoughts and the reasons behind her desire for a divorce.
After she finished speaking, Shen Lin remained silent for a long time. Just when Ye Xinning thought she would never hear him speak, he finally spoke.
"Is this the result you've considered? Divorce? Ye Xinning, what do you take marriage for? A game?"
Ye Xinning took a deep breath.
“I have never taken marriage lightly. Whether it was our marriage of convenience or my decision to end this relationship now, it has been a well-considered decision.”
"Your so-called 'deliberate consideration' is leaving home after an argument, then not contacting anyone, refusing to communicate with me, refusing to come home with me, and then directly filing for divorce. Ye Xinning, I always thought your profession would allow you to remain calm, but now I realize I was wrong. You acted too impulsively."
If Ye Xinning had heard Shen Lin say these words before, she might have been angry, but now she felt no emotion whatsoever.
“I have never acted impulsively. The divorce is a well-thought-out decision, and I hope you will consider it carefully as well. Let’s stop here for today. If you have any other opinions later, I will find a lawyer to talk to you. You should also find a lawyer as soon as possible.”
After saying this, Ye Xinning turned around and headed upstairs.
But Shen Lin rushed to her in three quick steps, ignored her objections, picked her up by the waist, and carried her towards the car.
Startled by being suspended in mid-air, Ye Xinning immediately pushed Shen Lin away, saying, "Shen Lin, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
"You're not thinking straight right now, I'll take you home."
Shen Lin ignored her and simply left her in the car.
The person then sat in the driver's seat and locked the car door.
Ye Xinning found it absurd. Did Shen Lin think that everything she had just said was irrational?
She tried her best to keep her emotions relatively calm.
“Chen Lin, I’ve said I’m serious. Open the car door and let me out.”
Shen Lin started the car without even looking at her. "I said I was going home."
Ye Xinning hated Shen Lin's whitewashing attitude the most.
She could no longer control her emotions, and her voice broke down.
"Shen Lin, I told you I don't want to go back to the Shen family. Can't you understand human language? Let me down."
Shen Lin remained silent, driving the car at breakneck speed.
Ye Xinning gripped the handrail tightly, fearing that she would join Shen Lin in the afterlife at any moment.
Despite Ye Xinning's resistance, Shen Lin finally parked the car in front of Ming Mansion.
The car stopped, and Ye Xinning swiftly opened the door to leave.
But Shen Lin quickly caught up, and as domineering as before, he swept the person up in his arms. The two walked through the living room, and the servants greeted them respectfully as soon as they saw them return.
"The master and mistress are back."
Without saying a word, Shen Lin took her back to the bedroom on the second floor. Once she was free, Ye Xinning raised her hand to slap Shen Lin.
But Shen Lin didn't dodge; the slap landed directly on his face.
"Is this interesting, Shen Lin?"
“Interesting.” Shen Lin replied in a serious tone, which almost made Ye Xinning furious.
