Shen Lin glanced back and saw it was Jiang An. Without saying a word, he strode forward.
Jiang An was completely ignored.
Upon entering the living room, Shen Lin immediately spotted Ye Xinning sitting on the sofa chatting with Xi Yuan.
Ye Xinning also heard the sound. She looked up and looked towards the door. Shen Lin was standing there, tall and slender with an outstanding temperament. Not far from him stood Jiang An, whose eyes were full of his love.
Ye Xinning couldn't describe what kind of emotion it was. She quickly looked away, and the light in her eyes grew even colder as she lowered her head.
Of all the people present, Xi Yuan was the first to speak. Seeing that Jiang An was behind Shen Lin, Xi Yuan said unhappily, "Miss Jiang, we are a family and need to discuss family matters. You should leave for a moment."
With the old lady not around, Jiang An was curious about Shen Lin and Ye Xinning's sudden return to the old house, but she also knew that she would not gain any benefits from staying here. Without the old lady's support, none of the people in front of her would take her seriously.
Jiang An left, and Xi Yuan invited Shen Lin to sit down.
Shen Lin had just walked over to sit down next to Ye Xinning, but before his bottom even touched the sofa, he saw Ye Xinning move to the side.
Such obvious actions clearly showed that she wanted to keep her distance from him. Shen Lin felt frustrated. They weren't even divorced yet, and she was already so cold, as if she wanted to keep a ten-meter distance from him.
Shen Lin stopped insisting and turned to sit down on the single sofa.
Xi Yuan had originally intended to let the two calm down, but things turned out this way, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Shen Yu also noticed their subtle interaction, sighed, and asked, "Shen Lin, do you know why I called you back?"
"have no idea."
"Ningning wants a divorce from you."
"impossible."
Shen Lin's attitude was cold. He glanced at Ye Xinning, not expecting her to be so impatient and tell her family about this so quickly.
Is she in such a hurry to divorce him?
Shen Lin was very angry. The angrier he got, the less he could understand what he, Shen Lin, had done wrong that made Ye Xinning go to such lengths to divorce him.
Or is it that she wants a divorce but just wants to find another man?
Was it the father of her lost child, or the man who gave her the bracelet?
Every time Shen Lin thought about something further, he felt a terrible headache.
"Ningning, you've seen Shen Lin's attitude, what about you?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head and fiddled with her palm. Hearing this, she looked up at Shen Yu. Her voice was as calm as ever, but her words were firm. "Dad, as Shen Lin's wife, I can't help him with his business outside, and I can't take good care of him and be a good wife at home. Our marriage was impulsive. Let's separate while there's still time."
Shen Lin coldly sneered, "When did I ever ask for any of those things you mentioned? If you want a divorce, just say so. Why all the high-sounding formalities?"
Shen Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He scolded Shen Lin, "Shut up. Who caused this situation? Ningning is only saying this to save face for you."
Shen Lin frowned and looked at Ye Xinning to the side.
Thinking of Ye Xinning's determination and then considering Shen Lin's attitude, Shen Yu realized that this marriage had been fraught with crisis ever since Jiang An appeared.
They had all witnessed the grievances Ye Xinning had suffered. The last time, he had been able to help Shen Lin do things to try and save Ye Xinning and their marriage, but now…
Shen Yu sighed. This marriage had probably really come to an end.
"Ningning, Dad won't ask about Shen Lin, he just wants to ask you, is there nothing left in this marriage that you cherish?"
Ye Xinning smiled and said the same thing again, "Thank you, Dad. I've thought it through very carefully."
Shen Yu understood what she meant, "Then let's arrange the formalities."
When Shen Lin sat to one side, his gaze was colder than anyone else's when he didn't say a word.
When Shen Yu mentioned the paperwork, Shen Lin looked at Ye Xinning and asked, "Is a divorce absolutely necessary?"
Ye Xinning hummed in response, without even looking at her.
Shen Lin jumped up from his seat. "Divorce, huh? Fine, go ahead."
“Shen Lin,” Xi Yuan said, her tone laced with persuasion, “speak properly.”
Shen Lin simply looked at Ye Xinning and said, "Didn't you want a divorce? Ye Xinning, fine, I, Shen Lin, don't need you. I can still live a great life without you. If you think this marriage isn't what you want, then let's see who you meet in the future can compare to me, Shen Lin."
"Perhaps." Ye Xinning's hands were tightly intertwined, then separated, and she looked up at Shen Lin and said this.
Perhaps, in the eyes of most people, this marriage is perfect.
Perhaps most couples in the world have a relationship like hers and Shen Lin's.
Or perhaps, in the long life ahead, she will meet no one as good as Shen Lin.
But whatever the reason, all she wanted at that moment was to divorce Shen Lin.
She wanted to be willful just this once, but at this moment, she was following her heart.
Shen Lin stared intently into Ye Xinning's eyes, and at that moment, all he saw in Ye Xinning's eyes was indifference and apathy.
Shen Lin suddenly realized that Ye Xinning had been looking at him with that kind of gaze ever since when.
This marriage has truly reached a point where it cannot continue.
Shen Lin closed his eyes, then opened them again; they were filled with ice.
"If you want a divorce, fine. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau on Monday. But Ye Xinning, remember this: I'm the one who wants a divorce. I, Shen Lin, have never been someone who can't live without you. If you don't want the title of Mrs. Shen, there are countless others lining up to take it."
After saying this, Shen Lin strode away without lingering for a moment.
Xi Yuan and Shen Yu called out to him, but he didn't pause for even a second.
Ye Xinning sat on the sofa, watching Shen Lin's figure almost disappear from sight, and turned around first.
She told herself that this time, she would control her emotions.
Xi Yuan was very worried about her, "Is Ningning alright?"
Ye Xinning shook her head and comforted the two, "I'm sorry, Dad, Aunt Xi, we've caused you so much worry and trouble."
Shen Yu sighed before speaking.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have let him act recklessly in the first place."
Ye Xinning smiled softly.
As an elder, Shen Yu still hoped that Ye Xinning and Shen Lin would stay together, but now that Ye Xinning insisted on getting a divorce, he had no way to refuse. In fact, Ye Xinning had indeed been unhappy in this marriage too many times.
"Even if the formalities are completed tomorrow, you will still be the daughter-in-law I have chosen. Ningning, if you need anything, remember to come to me, to your Aunt Xi."
