Ye Xinning said softly, "I've always known how good Dad is. I've caused you and Aunt Xi so much trouble since I married Shen Lin."
Thinking of the care and concern that Aunt Xi and Shen Yu had shown her in the past, Ye Xinning was sincerely grateful.
"You child, why are you being so polite with us?"
Ye Xinning still sincerely thanked them. No matter what the final outcome was for her and Shen Lin, the Shen family had truly taken good care of her.
"Ningning, I'm sorry about what happened between you and Chen Lin. No matter what happens between you and Chen Lin in the future, this is still your home. You can come back whenever you want, okay?"
"Okay, Dad."
...
After leaving the Shen family, Ye Xinning drove back to Xiangjiang Residential Area.
The phone rang several times during the call, but she ignored it and didn't pick it up until she reached her doorstep.
The call was from Huo Yanzhi, but Ye Xinning didn't know or care what it was about.
She didn't reply, and simply put the phone back in her bag.
As Ye Xinning went upstairs, she had just stepped out of the elevator and hadn't even reached her front door when she saw someone standing there.
Who else could it be but Huo Yanzhi?
Ye Xinning froze in her tracks. She hadn't expected it to be Huo Yanzhi, and she certainly hadn't expected him to come looking for her.
How did Huo Yanzhi know she lived here?
She didn't speak to Huo Yanzhi, but stood there, waiting for him to speak.
After a short while, Huo Yanzhi spoke, his tone as deep as ever, making it impossible to discern his true emotions.
"Where did you go? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Ye Xinning replied coldly, "What does it matter to you where I go?"
Huo Yanzhi wasn't angry at her attitude. "Did you go to the Shen family?"
Ye Xinning knew that this man had many tricks up his sleeve. Since he knew she had moved here, how could he not know she had gone to the Shen family?
Such a rhetorical question is truly disgusting.
Ye Xinning didn't want to say anything to Huo Yanzhi and was about to leave when Huo Yanzhi sensed her thoughts a second before she was about to leave. "You can leave. I can wait here. You know, I never give up on things I want to do."
Ye Xinning was extremely annoyed. She looked up at Huo Yanzhi. He hadn't come for a while, and she thought he had calmed down, but now he was clinging to her again. When would this man finally give her a peaceful life?
"My affairs are none of your business. How many times do I have to tell you, Mr. Huo, before you understand?"
"I told you, it's impossible."
Ye Xinning found it incredibly funny. "Huo Yanzhi, do you know what your appearance has brought me? Annoyance and trouble. Where do you get the confidence that I can forget about my child and forget the beastly things you did?"
"I told you, the past is the past, and I will treat you well from now on."
"The future?" Ye Xinning gave a sarcastic smirk. Where did Huo Yanzhi get the confidence to think that she and he would have a future?
"No need, Huo Yanzhi. If you continue to disturb my life like this, I don't mind calling the police. You are the president of Huo Group, after all. You don't want to cause so much unnecessary trouble, do you?"
“I don’t mind, you can do that, but before that, I just want an answer: why did you move out of Ming Mansion, and what happened between you and Shen Lin?”
"We're getting a divorce. So, are you satisfied now?" Ye Xinning said coldly.
The light in Huo Yanzhi's eyes changed. "What did you say? You and Shen Lin are getting a divorce?"
Ye Xinning didn't speak this time. She pushed Huo Yanzhi aside, opened the door, went inside, and closed the door.
The entire sequence of movements was incredibly smooth; before Huo Yanzhi could even react, she had already disappeared from sight.
He stood there, recalling what Ye Xinning had just said. So, were they really going to get a divorce this time?
Is he finally going to get what he's been waiting for?
...
On Monday, Ye Xinning got up early. She had thought about many things the night before and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
Ye Xinning woke up just as dawn broke this morning. She sighed and, thinking about the divorce certificate she and Shen Lin were going to get today, her mind wandered off to a certain spot.
Last time, she asked Ye Xiaoxiao to go to her house to get her household registration book under the pretext of work, but now she actually needs it.
So is it really all preordained?
As Ye Xinning thought this, she felt a strange mix of emotions. She and Shen Lin had gone through so much trouble, but they had still ended up getting a divorce.
Forced relationships are never sweet. I didn't know that before, but now I know from a painful lesson that what's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be can never be forced.
Ye Xinning got up and tidied herself up, then put on some simple makeup to cover up her less-than-ideal complexion.
As she came out of the bedroom, Aunt Wen had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for her. "Miss, you're up."
Ye Xinning walked to the table and sat down, and said softly to Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, you can make breakfast or not from now on. I don't necessarily want to eat it every day."
For example, right now, she has absolutely no appetite, but because Aunt Wen made it, she can't let Aunt Wen's kindness go to waste even if she has no appetite.
"Breakfast is very important. Miss's stomach has never been very good, so breakfast is a must." After saying that, Aunt Wen thought of what Ye Xinning had said last night when she came back: that she was going to divorce Shen Lin today.
Knowing that Ye Xinning was in a bad mood, Aunt Wen became more cautious in her speech, "Miss, I'll accompany you after dinner."
Ye Xinning paused in her eating, then shook her head. "Thank you, Aunt Wen, but no need. I can manage on my own. I'll go straight to the law firm after I'm done."
"With such a tight schedule, Miss, why don't you ask the law firm for a leave of absence?"
"No need," Ye Xinning said while drinking her porridge. Life is full of ups and downs, and everyone has their own things they can and can't get over. Even though her marriage with Shen Lin has come to an end, life still has to move forward.
After she said that, Aunt Wen couldn't say anything more.
After having breakfast, Ye Xinning drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She arrived quite early; the staff had just opened the door. Upon seeing her come in, the staff exclaimed in surprise, "This young lady is here to get her marriage certificate, right? You're here so early!"
Ye Xinning nodded to the staff member, her tone gentle and her smile warm, "No, you misunderstood. I'm here to get a divorce certificate."
Upon hearing Ye Xinning's words, the staff member's smile froze; they never expected her to be there to file for a divorce.
"Then...Miss...please sit and wait for a while."
After the staff left, Ye Xinning sat there and continued to wait. She had told Shen Lin that it would be in the morning, but she didn't know exactly what time he would come.
