The old lady grabbed Shen Lin's hand, and Shen Lin's voice turned cold.
"Grandma, I've been here all night. My body is a body too, and I'm very tired."
The old woman persisted, saying, "I don't care, you can't leave."
Shen Lin's patience quickly ran out. He held Ye Xinning's hand tightly, ignoring what others were saying, and looked at the old lady, saying, "Grandma, you are an elder, and I can't ignore you. That's why I came last night, even though it was New Year's Eve. But my patience has its limits, and I hope Grandma can know when to stop."
After saying that, Shen Lin ignored the old lady's roars behind him and left with Ye Xinning.
Seeing this, Shen Nanxing also quickly slipped away.
Outside the hospital, Ye Xinning kept her head down and held Lin's hand tightly. Ye Xinning thought about the experience of coming to the hospital on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which was really not good, and her mood also sank.
"What are you thinking about?"
When Shen Lin spoke to her, it took her a moment to process what he said. "It's nothing. Why did Jiang An fall?"
Shen Lin brushed it off with a casual remark, "I don't know, maybe I just didn't notice."
Ye Xinning responded with an "oh".
Shen Lin didn't want to discuss Jiang An, so he quickly changed the subject.
Where do you want to go later?
"I don't want to go anywhere." As she said this, she looked up at Chen Lin. He hadn't slept all night, so he should go back and rest.
"I'll take you to meet a friend," Shen Lin suddenly said.
Ye Xinning asked in confusion, "What friends are you meeting? Is it really that important? Is it more important than going back to sleep?"
"You'll see when you get there."
As Shen Lin said this, he opened the car door for her.
Ye Xinning was curious about his mysterious behavior.
The car drove on and finally arrived at the seaside.
Shen Lin opened the car door for her and took her onto a cruise ship parked by the sea.
The cruise ship is double-decker and white overall, but it looks exceptionally luxurious when combined with other colors.
Ye Xinning didn't know why Shen Lin suddenly thought of bringing her here. She got out of the car with Shen Lin and walked inside.
I had just reached the door when I heard a sound coming from inside.
"You're so late. I thought you were too busy with a beautiful woman in your arms to go out."
Ye Xinning looked at the person who spoke. The man was wearing a red coat, and his blue hair stood out brightly in the winter. He had very handsome features, and the corners of his lips were curved in a just-right arc. He had a kind of magic that made people unable to look away.
Ye Xinning didn't know who this person was, and just stood silently in front of Shen Lin without saying a word.
"Something came up and I was held up."
Shen Lin led her to the man, whose gaze fell on her, scrutinizing her so openly that Ye Xinning felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Second brother, aren't you going to introduce him?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Shen Lin said, "Gu Shilin, my aunt's son."
Ye Xinning was surprised, not expecting that the person in front of her was a blood relative of Shen Lin. Ye Xinning had never met Shen Lin's aunt, but she had heard Shen Lin mention her before, and it seemed that she had been living abroad for a long time.
"Hello, I am Ye Xinning."
Gu Shilin smiled meaningfully, "You don't need an introduction, I know you. You were quite something to get my second brother to marry you back then."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips, understanding the meaning behind those words.
When she married Shen Lin, everyone said it was a scheme of hers.
Shen Lin frowned, standing to the side. "Gu Shilin."
Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, Gu Shilin realized he had just said the wrong thing. The couple was currently in a loving relationship, and such words were indeed inappropriate.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
Ye Xinning looked up and met Gu Shilin's gaze, a perfectly timed smile on her face, making it impossible to tell whether she was angry or not.
"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."
Whether she truly didn't care or not, no one could tell, including Shen Lin.
He gripped her hand tightly, but Ye Xinning didn't react much, just kept her head down and listened to their conversation.
Gu Shilin's cruise ship is very large, with a clear layout and everything you could need.
The three chatted for a while, and then a few more people came out.
They were all people brought by Gu Shilin. They all called Shen Lin Second Brother and also politely called her Second Sister-in-law.
Ye Xinning responded politely, without much emotional fluctuation throughout.
Later, Shen Lin was called away by someone, leaving only Ye Xinning and Gu Shilin.
Gu Shilin leaned back and looked at her lazily, "It's a real pity that I'm only meeting my second sister-in-law now, after so long since she and my second brother have been married."
Why do you call him Second Brother?
Ye Xinning asked the question that had been puzzling her for a long time.
Gu Shilin smiled and said, "I also have an older brother."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, but unfortunately, my older brother went missing when he was a child and was never found. My parents miss him, so they have been calling him that all these years."
Ye Xinning hadn't expected this reason when she got lost as a child. "Not a single trace?"
"No."
Ye Xinning didn't know what to say anymore, after all, this was a serious injury.
"Second sister-in-law."
Gu Shilin suddenly called out, and Ye Xinning looked up at him, her eyes expressing her confusion.
“We haven’t seen our second brother for a long time. He sent us to Nancheng this time. Does your sister-in-law know why we were sent here?”
Ye Xinning shook his head.
Gu Shilin raised an eyebrow, "Second sister-in-law, guess?"
Ye Xinning lowered her eyes, a slight guess forming in her mind.
Gu Shilin could tell from her expression that she was smiling nonchalantly, "Because my second brother said he wanted to introduce his wife to us."
Ye Xinning had guessed it, but she was still somewhat surprised to hear Gu Shilin say that.
"When we first learned that my second sister-in-law and second brother were getting married, people from our area suggested that we meet her. But my second brother said it wasn't necessary. Now, after such a short time, he has taken the initiative to bring her to us. What does that mean? My second sister-in-law should understand by now."
Ye Xinning understood what Gu Shilin meant by those words. Gu Shilin was using this incident to tell her that Shen Lin cared about her.
...
After having dinner with Gu Shilin and the others on the cruise ship, Ye Xinning and Shen Lin left. As they were leaving, Gu Shilin said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law and second brother should hurry up. I hope that next time we meet, we can see your child."
Ye Xinning blushed and lowered her head.
Shen Lin didn't say anything, only whispered, "I'm leaving."
After the two left, Shen Lin's phone rang several times on the way back, but he did not answer it.
He spoke casually to Ye Xinning in the passenger seat, "You didn't eat much tonight, was it because it wasn't to your liking?"
Looking outside, Ye Xinning replied calmly, "Do you know what I like and what I don't like?"
