"Really?" Su Wan asked curiously, "When you met, you didn't talk about anything else; he just gave you the bracelet?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning actually knew what Su Wan wanted to ask by probing in such a roundabout way.
"Actually, I never thought that Ji Jianshen had romantic feelings for me. I felt that my relationship with him was more like a protective bond between family members. When I suddenly found out about his feelings for me, I was more surprised than anything else. I really never thought that our relationship would be like this."
"Are you trying to tell me that you only have familial feelings for him, and no romantic feelings at all?"
"Um."
"Sigh, feelings are never something that can be explained in just a few words. If you don't like someone, you just don't like them."
Su Wan said this.
Actually, Ji Jianshen never intended to keep Ye Xinning by his side or forcefully possess her.
"Even so, I still feel a little sorry for him, and I'm a bit confused, as if I don't know how to get along with him in the future."
"What's so difficult about this? Besides, didn't you say that you have the feelings of family? There's no need to feel guilty."
Su Wan offered so much advice simply because she hoped Ye Xinning wouldn't distance herself from Ji Jianshen just because she couldn't reciprocate his feelings.
Ji Jianshen... has suffered so much. You could say that meeting Ye Xinning was a kind of salvation in Ji Jianshen's life.
"Um."
After talking so much with Su Wan, the things that Ye Xinning couldn't understand gradually became clearer.
"Thank you, Wanwan." Su Wan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Why are you thanking me? What kind of relationship do we have?"
"Too."
"By the way, Wanwan, has Ji Jianshen told you what his identity is?"
"What identity? Isn't he just Ji Jianshen? A sickly man who is passionate about charity."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Ye Xinning had originally wanted to learn something about Ji Jianshen's hidden identity from Su Wan, but after hearing Su Wan's words, she understood.
Su Wan was the same; she was also kept in the dark along with her.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If Ji Jianshen told Su Wan, what difference would it make from telling her? After all, Ji Jianshen knows very well how good their relationship is.
That evening, Su Wan stayed at Ye Xinning's place and didn't leave until early the next morning.
After Su Wan left, Ye Xinning went to the study to handle some work.
When Shen Lin called, she was busy with work.
"Hello."
She answered the phone and spoke to the person on the other end.
"What are you busy with?"
Shen Lin's voice came through the phone, deep and as charming as ever.
"Taking care of some work."
Ye Xinning told the truth.
"Could you come downstairs for a moment?"
Ye Xinning was about to ask what they were going downstairs for, but before she could even speak, her mind reacted first.
Shocked, she left her desk and went to the French windows. Sure enough, she saw the car parked downstairs. Who else could it be but Shen Lin's?
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"
"It's not too late to fight now, so, Mrs. Shen, may you come downstairs?"
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar address from Shen Lin, Ye Xinning's cheeks flushed slightly. "Don't call me that. We haven't remarried yet. I'm not Mrs. Shen yet."
“In my heart, you have always been, and in this lifetime, the only person who can sit in the position of Mrs. Shen is you.”
Shen Lin's voice was firm and resolute, giving Ye Xinning an indescribable sense of security.
"Wait for me downstairs, I'll be right down."
After saying this, Ye Xinning hung up the phone, went back to her bedroom to change into a beige dress, and then went downstairs.
She had just stepped out downstairs when Shen Lin got out of the car.
Instead of standing still and waiting, he walked towards her step by step and finally stopped in front of her.
He stretched out his hands, and Ye Xinning leaned into his arms with a gentle laugh.
When did you arrive?
"I've been here for a while. Come on, I'll take you to eat."
"But Aunt Wen said she would cook."
"Message Aunt Wen and tell her we're going out to eat, no need to bother."
Seeing that Shen Lin had already arranged everything, Ye Xinning stopped being coy.
The two got into the car, with Ye Xinning sitting in the passenger seat and Chen Lin driving.
Ye Xinning originally thought that Shen Lin meant to eat out, but unexpectedly, Shen Lin's car ended up stopping in front of the Shen family's house.
Ye Xinning looked at the familiar scenery outside the car window, then turned her head and her gaze fell on Shen Lin's face. "So when you said you were going to eat, you meant we'd eat here?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning lowered her head, pondering how to bring it up with Shen Lin, but Shen Lin seemed to know what she was thinking and spoke first.
“Ningning, you may think I’m doing this too quickly, but this is the only way I can find. Only in this way can I truly feel that we are really back together. And my dad and Aunt Xi like you so much, they will be very happy to know about us.”
Ye Xinning understood what Shen Lin was saying.
She was initially a little hesitant to go back to the Shen family with Shen Lin so soon, but after hearing what Shen Lin said, she didn't feel nervous at all.
Shen Lin held her hand, and the two walked together toward the Shen family's living room.
In the living room, Xi Yuan was knitting to pass the time. Hearing the sound, she didn't look up, but just said softly, "Who's back?"
