When did you arrive in the south of the city?
Ye Xinning raised his head upon hearing the sound and looked in that direction. He saw the two brothers, Chen Lin and Chen Ting, standing not far away.
Shen Ting came over to Li Zeya with a smile, "Yes, little cousin, when did you come to Nancheng? Why didn't you go home?"
Li Zeya remained as indifferent as ever, saying, "I came with her."
The "she" she was referring to was naturally Su Wan. Shen Ting was very familiar with Su Wan, so she naturally sat down. "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell us you were coming to Nancheng? If we hadn't met you here, we wouldn't have known."
Ye Xinning sat there listening to their conversation until the sofa next to her sank in, at which point she turned to the side.
Shen Lin sat down next to her without her noticing. The two were very close, so close that Ye Xinning could feel the burning heat emanating from him.
She felt a little awkward, but Shen Lin acted as if nothing had happened, behaving with exceptional composure.
Then Ye Xinning thought about it again and realized that she should be more natural and generous, and not act that way.
So she pretended not to care and listened to Su Wan and the others chatting, occasionally chiming in with a few words, but she didn't talk much and only talked about very ordinary topics.
Just as she was wondering when Shen Lin and Shen Ting would leave, Shen Lin suddenly picked up a glass of wine and started drinking it by himself.
Ye Xinning turned her head and looked at him in disbelief. Shen Lin probably noticed her gaze, looked down at her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
She looked at Shen Lin's serious question without noticing anything amiss. She looked away, her cheeks flushed unusually.
So, was Shen Lin completely unaware that the cup he was drinking from belonged to her?
With so many people sitting there, Ye Xinning didn't say much. He simply looked away and sat there silently.
"What has Shen Lin been busy with lately?"
Su Wan's voice rang out in the private room, then she turned her attention to Chen Lin.
"I haven't been busy with anything," Shen Lin replied briefly.
Su Wan raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "Really? I thought you must be very busy lately. After all, Shen Lin, the president of the Shen Group in Nancheng, the dream man of countless girls, is single again. You should have a lot of suitors. The line of people asking you out to dinner must be incredibly long."
Shen Lin remained silent, his gaze falling on Ye Xinning sitting beside him. Ye Xinning had her head down, her long hair obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to discern her current emotions.
After a long silence, Shen Lin spoke, his voice low and somber, "No matter how many people there are, they mean nothing to me. What I've always wanted is just that one person."
As he said this, his gaze was fixed on Ye Xinning.
Everyone present looked at Ye Xinning. At this moment, anyone who wasn't a fool could probably tell that Shen Lin was talking about Ye Xinning.
Su Wan rested her chin on her hand. "Really? You make it sound like you're very affectionate, but I seem to remember there's still another woman carrying your child?"
"It's not mine." As soon as Su Wan finished speaking, Shen Lin spoke up. He looked at Ye Xinning, and it was very clear who he was explaining this to.
Ye Xinning pursed her lips. She knew that Su Wan wanted to stand up for her, and she also knew that Su Wan was deliberately making things difficult for Shen Lin.
"Really? You're really hopeless. You can't even handle something this simple, and you even got outsmarted by a woman?"
