villa.
Gu Shilin had already arranged for the doctor to be waiting. As soon as the car stopped, the doctor came up and lifted Shen Lin out of the car. Ye Xinning followed step by step, her heart filled with worry.
The doctor led Shen Lin to a room. "Mr. Gu, we need to remove the bullet immediately. Please take this lady out first."
Gu Shilin looked at Ye Xinning and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can go out now."
Ye Xinning stood still, saying, "I'm not going out."
"But my second brother needs to have surgery to remove the bullet, so it's not appropriate for you to be here."
Ye Xinning didn't care about what was appropriate or inappropriate at the moment. She just wanted to stay here and watch Shen Lin get out of danger. He had taken the bullet for her, and he was in danger because of her. How could she leave?
"I'll wait and see."
As she said this, Gu Shilin was still struggling with how to persuade her when he heard Song Zhengchu's voice behind him.
"Let her wait here."
Gu Shilin had no choice but to compromise.
Originally, I thought Ye Xinning hadn't experienced much and couldn't bear to see such a bloody scene, but I didn't expect Ye Xinning to be so determined to stay here for Chen Lin's sake.
The doctor brought by Gu Shilin began the surgery. Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin lying on the bed and was extremely worried when she thought about how his back was covered in blood.
Will he get hurt? What was he thinking when he shielded her from a bullet?
He never imagined that such an action would put him in danger.
Song Zhengchu appeared beside her without her noticing, and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder. She knew this gesture was meant to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Gu Shilin has found the best doctors, Shen Lin will be fine."
Ye Xinning didn't look up. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Dad, I never knew you had these complicated relationships in France."
“I’m sorry, Ningning, Dad didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just didn’t want you to know things that weren’t necessary. You saw it yourself, this happened as soon as you arrived in France.”
Ye Xinning remained silent for a long time before speaking again, her voice even lower than before.
"Dad, let's have a good talk after Shen Lin is out of danger."
Song Zhengchu wanted to see her expression, but Ye Xinning had her head down and Song Zhengchu couldn't see her expression clearly no matter what he did. After a long silence, Song Zhengchu finally spoke, "Okay."
...
While Shen Lin was retrieving the bullet, Ye Xinning sat by his side the whole time, never leaving for a moment.
After the surgery, the doctor came out, and Ye Xinning, Gu Shilin, and the others went up to him. "How was it?"
"You're out of danger," the doctor said.
Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief, finally receiving such an answer.
"Although he is out of danger, the wound is still deep and he is not yet fully awake, so we still cannot be careless."
"Okay, I understand."
After the doctor left, Ye Xinning stood there and softly asked Gu Shilin, "May I go in and see him?"
"Of course, my second brother cares about his second sister-in-law the most. No one is more suitable to go in and see my second brother than you."
"I'm divorced from your second brother, so please don't call me that anymore."
"No, my second brother still cares about you. Without him, I would never change my mind."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Not wanting to talk to Gu Shilin about these things, Ye Xinning turned around and went inside to look at Shen Lin.
In the large bedroom, Chen Lin lay on the big bed, his face pale, his body covered with wounds treated by the doctor.
Shen Lin's eyes were tightly closed; he remained unconscious.
Ye Xinning walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Shen Lin on the bed, her gaze suddenly becoming very complicated.
Shen Lin risked his own safety to save her once again.
At that moment, she thought of Shen Lin five years ago. Five years ago, Shen Lin also saved her, risking his own safety to save her in the same way.
At that time, she was moved by Shen Lin's recklessness and gave him all her love. But later, fate played a trick on her, and Shen Lin forgot about them.
They've come to this point because their fates have been consistently unlucky. If Shen Lin had regained his memory during their marriage, they might not have ended up like this.
So it has to be said, who can predict fate?
What she couldn't understand was why Shen Lin had risked everything to save her without ever considering the possible consequences.
She looked at Shen Lin quietly, and unconsciously reached out to touch his face.
But before she could reach out, she heard Shen Lin, with his eyes closed, whisper, "Ningning, I'm here, don't be afraid."
His voice was very weak, and even when he wasn't fully conscious, he was still muttering his own name.
Ye Xinning sat on the edge of the bed, not saying a word for a long time, just sitting silently beside Shen Lin.
...
Shen Lin woke up the next morning. When she opened her eyes, she was in an unfamiliar room, and every movement caused her excruciating pain.
"Water, water."
Ye Xinning dozed off for a while by the bedside of Shen Lin. When she heard Shen Lin's voice, she looked up and saw that Shen Lin had opened his eyes. Ye Xinning quickly got up and said, "You're awake."
"water."
This time, Ye Xinning heard clearly that Shen Lin wanted water.
"Okay, wait here, I'll go get you some water."
Ye Xinning said she was about to get up to pour water for Shen Lin, but as soon as she stood up, Shen Lin held her hand tightly.
"Don't go."
Ye Xinning turned to look at Shen Lin, who had already woken up. His deep gaze was full of tenderness. "Ningning."
"Yes, you're awake. I..."
Before Ye Xinning could finish speaking, Shen Lin grabbed her hand, propped himself up to sit up, and the next second, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.
Ye Xinning stared wide-eyed at Shen Lin, unable to accept this sudden kiss.
Shen Lin, however, deepened the kiss without regard for anything else.
Ye Xinning wanted to push Shen Lin away, but she was worried that she would touch his injuries. After hesitating several times, Ye Xinning put her hand down and let Shen Lin kiss her.
When the kiss ended, Shen Lin released her, and Ye Xinning's face turned bright red.
"I'll get you some water, let go of me." She made a small movement to try and push him away.
Shen Lin still held her hand tightly, "Are you hurt?"
Ye Xinning shook his head.
"You blocked all the bullets, how could I possibly have gotten hurt?"
"That's good."
Ye Xinning saw the tenderness in Shen Lin's eyes; he seemed to only care about her and hadn't considered himself at all.
“Sinking down.”
Ye Xinning suddenly called out Shen Lin's name.
"Hmm." Shen Lin lowered his head, smiling gently. "What's wrong?"
"What were you thinking when you took a bullet for me?"
