Shen Nanxing introduced herself in a generous manner, and the man next to her nodded to all of them as a greeting.
"Zhou Jiamu?" Chi Zhao spoke up at this moment, "Where did you find him? He's not from your hospital, is he?"
Shen Nanxing smiled and turned to look at Chi Zhao, "I'm really sorry to disappoint you. He's not from our hospital, he's someone I met on a business trip. He's a photographer, isn't he amazing?"
"Oh ho, you're into art? Shen Nanxing, haven't you heard the saying? People who play with art are all very good at playing."
Chi Zhao's words were barbed, and Ye Xinning could sense that the atmosphere was not right.
"Really? That's still better than some people who are like cold-blooded animals."
The "some people" being referred to are none other than Chi Zhao.
Ye Xinning couldn't help but chuckle softly, "I've noticed that the Shen family really knows how to hit the nail on the head, and we Nanxing people really do have a personality that never lets ourselves suffer a loss."
Shen Lin lowered his head, looking at her with a smile, "Do we Shen family members speak our minds?"
"Um."
"For example, when did I make you feel that way?"
"Many times."
Ye Xinning said those words unconsciously.
Shen Lin held her hand, and as they talked, his gaze inadvertently drifted downwards. But when he saw the familiar bracelet on Ye Xinning's wrist, Shen Lin's breathing slowed down.
He stared intently at the bracelet on Ye Xinning's hand, his eyes filled with disbelief. For a moment, he even wondered if he was seeing things.
Ye Xinning noticed Shen Lin's gaze and looked at her wrist.
Needless to say, she knew what Shen Lin was looking at. She subtly pulled her clothes down to cover the bracelet on her wrist.
At this moment, Shen Lin stood up, took her hand, and led the group outside.
"Hey, big brother, where are you taking Ningning?"
"I have something to say to her. You guys eat by yourselves, don't worry about us." After saying this, Shen Lin ignored Shen Nanxing and strode outside.
Shen Nanxing watched the two leave, completely bewildered. "What happened? I called these people, how come he just took them away so brazenly?"
"Your affairs are not as important as your brother's. Didn't you see that when your brother took Ningning away just now, Ningning didn't resist?" Shen Ting added slowly from the side.
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanxing sat to the side, seriously recalling the state of Shen Lin and Ye Xinning just now, and it seemed that...
Ye Xinning did not resist!
“It would be strange if she could see now; she’s blind,” Chi Zhao said at this moment.
Shen Nanxing was wondering about the recent situation between Ye Xinning and Shen Lin when she heard Chi Zhao say this. She was furious and said, "Chi Zhao, are you out of your mind? What kind of skill is it to make personal attacks?"
"Aren't you blind?" Chi Zhao pushed back his chair and stood up, his gaze falling on Zhou Jiamu. After looking him over, he said coldly, "If I weren't blind, would I have fallen for someone like this?"
After saying this, Chi Zhao pushed back his chair and strode away.
Shen Nanxing stood there, so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
"Is he sick? Did I offend him? Why is he saying this about me?"
Shen Ting looked at Zhou Jiamu, then at Shen Nanxing, "You didn't provoke him, but in his mind, you did."
Shen Nanxing: "What do you mean? Speak like a human being."
Shen Ting didn't say much more, "Figure it out yourself."
Shen Nanxing, "..."
...
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin left the restaurant and went outside. Shen Lin held her hand tightly, and they finally stopped in the central square.
"That bracelet..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Ye Xinning knew what he was going to say. "Yes, it's been repaired. It's the bracelet you gave me five years ago."
He saw it all, so Ye Xinning had no reason to hide it.
Shen Lin pursed his thin lips. "Where's the scar on your wrist? How did it disappear?"
"Huo Yanzhi had the doctor forcibly remove it."
Ye Xinning spoke calmly. In fact, so much time had passed that she was already able to speak frankly about the past.
But Shen Lin was heartbroken beyond measure.
If he hadn't lost his memory, if he had stayed by her side, would none of this have happened?
Their child wouldn't have been lost, and she wouldn't have suffered so much.
Shen Lin reached out and hugged Ye Xinning in his arms, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Shen Lin had said the same thing many times. Ever since he regained his memory, he felt guilty and remorseful whenever he thought about how much suffering Ye Xinning had endured because of him.
But more than anything, it's a feeling of powerlessness.
He knew that such words sounded particularly weak, but he had no way to change time. If he could go back to the day of the car accident, he would stay by her side and not go anywhere else. That way, he wouldn't have had the accident, and none of the things that happened afterward would have happened, and he wouldn't have let her miss him.
"You don't need to apologize. For me, many things are already in the past."
Faced with Shen Lin's apology, Ye Xinning looked into the distance and said casually.
Shen Lin held her hands, looking into her eyes, "Then can you tell me why you... put this bracelet back on your wrist?"
When he asked this question, Shen Lin's voice was very low and soft, filled with extreme caution.
Ye Xinning could sense that she was looking at Shen Lin for a long time before looking away, and said casually, "There's no reason, I just wore it because I wanted to."
Ye Xinning's evasive attitude made Shen Lin pause.
He recalled how she had taken the initiative to talk to him earlier, and how she hadn't resisted when he hugged her just now.
These actions, when connected, suddenly made Shen Lin realize something.
He pulled Ye Xinning into his arms again. "Ningning, so are you willing to give me another chance?"
Ye Xinning looked up at Shen Lin. As their eyes met, time seemed to slip away. Ye Xinning noticed a mixture of nervousness, caution, and undisguised anticipation on Shen Lin's face.
She knew that this moment was different for Shen Lin.
As for Shen Lin, after saying that sentence, his gaze remained fixed on Ye Xinning. He waited for Ye Xinning's reply, and every second before Ye Xinning opened her mouth to speak was a difficult waiting process for him.
Like a prisoner waiting to be declared guilty, he awaits that one sentence that can decide his life or death.
Time ticked by, and Ye Xinning finally opened her mouth.
She neither said yes nor no, but smiled faintly and said softly, "Chen Lin, I'm hungry. Can we go eat first?"
