"Sis, when are we going back to Nancheng?"
After finishing discussing the cooperation with the client, Ye Xiaoxiao took Ye Xinning's hand and asked.
"You want to go back?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning looked at Ye Xiaoxiao beside her and lowered her voice to speak.
"A little. Thinking about how long I've been here, I miss the days back home."
Upon hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words, Ye Xinning immediately understood something. "Do you miss life in China, or is there someone you care about there?"
Upon hearing Ye Xinning's question, Ye Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned slightly red.
Ye Xinning was now completely convinced that she had guessed correctly.
"No, no, sis, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Xinning said slowly, "The more eager you are to deny something, the more likely it is to be true. So, do you really have someone you like?"
"It's not that I have to be with this person, it's just that I find them quite interesting right now, so I'll get to know them better and see how they go."
"Yes, it's right to continue learning. No matter what, you must be absolutely rational when it comes to relationships."
"Sister, you sound like you've been through a lot."
"I'm just telling you from someone who's been there, no matter what, follow your heart. Also, I hope you can avoid some of the misfortunes I've gone through."
Speaking of these things, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of Shen Lin.
"My sister hasn't visited her husband lately. Has she completely let go of him?"
“I’m busy, and I know his injury has healed. Under these circumstances, I think it’s better for us not to see each other right now, so that we don’t bother each other.”
"Sister, you make it sound so easy. Every time you call Gu Shilin to ask, you ask such detailed questions, as if you're afraid of missing a single detail. You care about this so much, but you don't even let Gu Shilin say it. Sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking. You care so much, yet you still made this choice."
Ye Xinning smiled gently at Ye Xiaoxiao's words, "You don't understand yet that feelings can't be explained in just a few words. You'll understand when you're older."
Ye Xiaoxiao laughed suddenly, "Sister, I won't go through as much as you. I hope my love life will be very smooth. I'll find a suitable person to date, get married at the right age, and then have a child. There will be arguments in marriage, but I don't care. Aren't all marriages like this? I don't really care if my future partner is outstanding. It's not a necessity for me. A warm and loving family is enough for me."
Ye Xinning listened to Ye Xiaoxiao's words with a gentle smile on her face.
This is the kind of marriage Ye Xiaoxiao wants, but what about her?
What is it that she wants?
Actually, she thought the same thing as Ye Xiaoxiao, but she met Shen Lin and began this bumpy road of love. Looking back now, perhaps it's just a saying: many things in life are predetermined.
"If you want to go back, then let's leave tomorrow night. Give me some time to talk to the people here properly."
"good."
...
Back at the Song family home that evening, Ye Xinning sat and chatted with Grandma Song. When she learned that Ye Xinning was going back to Nancheng, the old lady grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "Why do you still want to go back to Nancheng? Haven't you already come here?"
“Grandma, my job is in the south of the city. I have to go back to work. I’ve already missed a lot of things since I came here.”
"Work is not important. You can stay here and help your father. That's good too."
Ye Xinning knew that the old lady wanted her to stay by her side. "Grandma, I do have a lot of things to take care of in Nancheng, so I have to go back. How about this, I'll come to see you again when I have time in a while, okay?"
How could Old Mrs. Song not know the reason behind her persistence?
She held Ye Xinning's hand and said earnestly, "Actually, Grandma knows that you can't stay here forever if your mother is in Nancheng. I know that you and your mother must have a very good relationship."
Ye Xinning did not deny that her mother was in Nancheng and that Xia He was with her. She didn't know what her purpose was, so she had to go back to Nancheng to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Grandma, I'm already so happy to be here and see you. I promise that if I'm not too busy with work, I'll come back to see you as soon as possible."
"Alright, alright, I know I can't stop you, so I'll let you go back to Nancheng. But remember, this is your home too, understand?"
Hearing what Grandma Song said, Ye Xinning felt very grateful. She couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment, but she was very happy.
The old lady liked her, which was a kind of affirmation for her. Perhaps it was because the old lady Song was about the same age as Shen Lin's grandmother, and she couldn't help but make some comparisons and wonder why Shen Lin's grandmother disliked her so much.
She hadn't actually done anything wrong. In fact, when she first married Shen Lin, she even tried to please him. But all Shen Lin's grandmother ever gave her were cold and harsh words. Compared to that attitude, she felt extremely disheartened.
"Ningning."
Grandma Song spoke, bringing her back to reality. "Yes, Grandma, please speak."
"I just want to ask you, your father said before that you got married and divorced, so now, do you have anyone you'd like to date?"
"Why did Grandma suddenly ask that?"
Ye Xinning did not answer directly, but instead asked this question with a light laugh.
"There's no other reason, I just want to pay attention to your relationship. Grandma is getting old and doesn't know how many more years she can keep going. She wants to see all of you children happy."
"Thank you, Grandma. I don't plan to look for a new job yet. I'll wait a bit."
Just as Old Mrs. Song was about to ask her why, a maid came forward and said, "Miss, a gentleman has come to see you."
Ye Xinning looked up and asked the maid, "Who is it?"
"He said to call him Mr. Shen."
Mr. Shen...
Ye Xinning could think of no one else but Shen Lin.
She just didn't know why Shen Lin had suddenly come.
"Grandma, I'm going to go see her. You sit here."
"Who is it?" the old lady asked curiously.
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and said, "A friend."
She can't exactly say it's her ex-husband; it just doesn't seem appropriate.
"Okay, friend, you go ahead, I'll just stay here and get some fresh air."
"Um."
Ye Xinning followed the maid to the door and stopped in her tracks when she saw Shen Lin standing outside holding a bouquet of flowers.
