After thinking for a moment, Ye Xinning said this to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen asked again, "Then why do you want a divorce? Didn't you reconcile a while ago?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head and spoke in a very indifferent tone, as if she were talking about something she didn't care about. "Maybe married life is too tiring. I want to experience what it's like to be alone?"
Xiao Chen, "..."
Xiao Chen could tell from her words that she didn't want to reveal too much, and he understood, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Alright, after what just happened, how about I give you a day off?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "No need, it's not a big deal."
Xiao Chen shrugged. Since she was unwilling, he had nothing to say.
"Okay, let me know if you need anything."
"good."
Ye Xinning and Xiao Chen returned to their respective offices. After they left, two people came out of the adjacent tea room.
It was Xia Wan and her assistant.
"Attorney Xia, did you hear that? Director Ye got divorced?"
Xia Wan's gaze was deep; how could she not have heard?
After Ye Xinning gets divorced, will Xiao Chen come back to pursue her again?
Previously, Xiao Chen treated Ye Xinning as a colleague, and Ye Xinning gradually rose to the position of director. If Ye Xinning were to get together with Xiao Chen, would Xia Wan still have a place among the lawyers?
Thinking of this, Xia Wan's gaze turned completely somber.
...
Meanwhile, when Shen Lin returned to the company, Wen Zhu came over with some documents and said, "President Shen is back."
Shen Lin didn't say anything and walked straight towards his office.
"Mr. Shen, the bracelet you asked me to customize for your wife has arrived."
Upon entering the office, Wenzhu cautiously asked, her eyes scanning Shen Lin, "Mr. Shen, what about this bracelet now...?"
Chen Lin sat down, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples. "It's lost."
These words were devoid of any warmth. Wenzhu thought about what had happened today: President Shen had divorced his wife. This gift was really too inappropriate.
This is like rubbing salt into President Shen's heart.
"Yes, Mr. Shen."
Wenzhu didn't dare say anything more and left the office with the gift in her hand.
He was left alone in the office. Shen Lin rubbed his temples, his gaze deep and complex. He sat there for almost an hour before suddenly getting up, throwing back his chair, and striding outside.
Shen Lin entered Wen Zhu's office without knocking. Wen Zhu was still sitting there discussing tomorrow's schedule with a client. When she saw Shen Lin suddenly come in, she paused for a second and asked, "Mr. Shen, is there something you need?"
Where is the stuff?
Wen Zhu paused for a second, not understanding what Shen Lin meant. "What?"
Shen Lin then asked emphatically, "Where's the bracelet?"
"Mr. Shen told me to throw it away, so I threw it away."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's expression turned cold. Wen Zhu belatedly realized something; President Shen had suddenly barged in, in such a hurry...
Wen Zhu jumped up from her seat and said in a flustered manner, "President Chen, please wait a moment, I'll go find it right now."
"Where did you lose it? I'll find it myself."
"The trash can in the hallway outside," Wenzhu said instinctively.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lin strode outside, and Wen Zhu quickly followed.
In the corridor, before Wenzhu could say anything, she saw Chen Lin lower his head and start rummaging through the trash cans without a care in the world.
This action startled Wenzhu. "President Shen, I'm here to find you."
"Need not."
Shen Lin replied indifferently, then lowered his head and continued rummaging through the trash can.
Having finally found the necklace that Wenzhu had thrown away, Shen Lin didn't say anything and simply turned around and went to his office.
Wenzhu watched the person disappear from sight, and the surprise in her eyes lingered for a long time.
For someone like President Shen, who has severe mysophobia, to actually go through the trash can is because he values that gift very much, and that's why he did such a thing in his worry and anxiety.
But no matter what, Mr. Shen and his wife have already divorced. Is it a little too late for him to care so much now?
What's that saying? "Chasing after your wife is like going through a crematorium."
Wenzhu shook her head and turned to attend to her own business.
...
Ye Xinning was quite busy with work today. First, she went out to meet a client, and after returning from outside, she was busy with the documents at hand. In the middle of the day, Xiao Chen came over and saw how hard she was working, so he couldn't help but think a little too much.
"I'm telling you, you're not trying to alleviate your inner pain this way, are you?" he teased Ye Xinning, leaning against the door.
Ye Xinning looked up at him amidst her busy work, "No one has been organizing the case files for the first group. If I don't organize them, I don't know how long they'll pile up."
"Isn't Ye Xiaoxiao responsible for these things?"
"Xiaoxiao went out to run some errands."
Xiao Chen said "Okay".
"Then you continue?"
"OK."
Xiao Chen left with a smile. Ye Xinning lowered her head and continued to process the documents in her hands. The door rang again. She thought it was Xiao Chen returning. "Director Xiao, if you keep coming here a few more times, I won't bother organizing these documents anymore. I'll just keep you company and talk to you."
As she spoke, a sharp female voice rang in her ear, "Your relationship is so intimate?"
Ye Xinning stopped what she was doing, looked up, and saw Xia Wan standing at the door.
She paused slightly before speaking again, her tone even more indifferent than before, "Attorney Xia is here. Is there something you need?"
Xia Wan walked over and sat down opposite her. "Director Ye really has some impressive skills. She's climbed to where she is now step by step. Such ability is something that not everyone can possess."
Ye Xinning knew exactly what Xia Wan meant. She patiently explained to Xia Wan again, "Attorney Xia, I have no relationship with Director Xiao. My position was decided by the law firm, and it was something I couldn't refuse. If you really don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. But please stop coming here to make sarcastic remarks. I don't like this kind of conversation."
After she finished speaking, Xia Wan didn't believe a single word she said. "Xiao Chen likes you. I don't believe you don't know that."
"He doesn't like me, you've misunderstood."
"If it weren't for love, would you believe me if I kept saying that after your divorce, Ye Xinning?"
"How did you know I was divorced?" Ye Xinning caught the key point in Xia Wan's words.
"If you didn't have some other thoughts in your mind, why would you be afraid of me finding out?"
Ye Xinning frowned. Xia Wan's words were too sharp, and she always felt very tired when talking to her.
"Say what you will, my divorce is my own business, and I have never intended to hide it from anyone."
"Did you divorce because of Xiao Chen?"
