Ye Xinning nodded, Shen Lin looked reluctant, and Shen Nanxing joked, "Alright, your wife isn't going to get eaten by me here, why are you being so cautious? Go answer your call."
Shen Lin said nothing more, pulled the blanket up for Ye Xinning, and then walked outside.
After Shen left, Shen Nanxing bent down to look at Ye Xinning's wound, "Is there anything that's particularly uncomfortable?"
"No, it's normal for the wound to hurt; there will be a recovery period," Ye Xinning said to Shen Nanxing with a smile.
Shen Nanxing sat down by the hospital bed and slowly said, "Luckily, nothing serious happened to you, otherwise my brother probably would have killed me."
Ye Xinning was surprised, "Was he very worried about me yesterday?"
“It was more than just worry. When he brought you to the hospital covered in blood, he didn’t even want to leave the emergency room. He wanted to stay by your side every moment.”
Ye Xinning kept her head down; no one had told her these things, and she was completely unaware of them.
"Sigh, my older brother has really fallen for you. Before you, I had never seen him care about someone so much."
Ye Xinning smiled and said, "I'm very happy to have met him."
Looking at the happy smile on her face, Shen Nanxing naturally knew how deep her feelings for Shen Lin were. "Anyway, you two are finally together, and everyone is happy for you. It's just... there's something you might not have had a chance to know yet. I've thought about it, and I think I should tell you about it."
Shen Nanxing's sudden formality made Ye Xinning take it seriously. "What is it, Nanxing?"
“When you came to the hospital yesterday, you had lost a lot of blood, and someone gave you a blood transfusion.”
Ye Xinning's expression froze for a moment. "Who?"
Shen Nanxing thought for a moment, then said truthfully, "Huo Yanzhi."
Huo Yanzhi...
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
Shen Nanxing continued, "Actually, I've heard a bit about what happened between my sister-in-law and Huo Yanzhi. I didn't want to tell her these things, but when Huo Yanzhi was alone in the hospital bed looking at you while you were unconscious, there was love in his eyes."
Ye Xinning and Huo Yanzhi knew each other a long time ago, when she was still in school. At that time, she was a quiet and reserved person who didn't pay much attention to the people around her. So even though she and Huo Yanzhi were in the same school, she didn't say more than a few words to him.
Later, I started to pay attention to this person because I learned about Huo Qijun's relationship with Ye Rouxin.
She hated Huo Qijun. At that time, she thought Huo Yanzhi was extremely wicked. He came to the Ye family with a purpose and ruined the relationship between her father and mother.
As a result, this dislike extended to Huo Yanzhi as well. She refused to speak to Huo Yanzhi, and every interaction between them resulted in either arguments or veiled sarcasm.
So when Huo Yanzhi later said he liked her, she only felt disgusted and resistant.
Later, so many things happened between her and Huo Yanzhi. Huo Yanzhi selfishly imprisoned her, beat her child, and caused her to miss out on being with Shen Linsheng.
She no longer believed in Huo Yanzhi's so-called love, because in her heart, loving someone wasn't like that; Huo Yanzhi's so-called love was based on deception.
Now, when Shen Nanxing said these things to her, Ye Xinning, for some reason, actually felt that what Shen Nanxing said was right.
"Huo Yanzhi loves you, but perhaps no one has ever taught him how to love someone properly, which has led to his obsession."
"Actually, I've never had any feelings for him, plus there are so many obstacles between us."
Shen Nanxing naturally knew that Ye Xinning had no place for Huo Yanzhi in her heart, and that she was just saying those words.
"Sister-in-law, don't overthink it. I'm telling you this without any other meaning. Just listen and know that he's giving you blood transfusions."
These words amused Ye Xinning. "You're Shen Lin's sister. Aren't you afraid he'll cause you trouble by telling me these things?"
"So what if he causes me trouble? Besides, I think that since my sister-in-law likes my brother so much, even if I say these things, it won't affect your relationship at all," Shen Nanxing joked.
Shen Nanxing was right. Her relationship with Shen Lin was very stable, and nothing could shake it.
"I know that Huo Yanzhi gave me blood. No matter what his feelings for me are, it doesn't matter to me anymore. He hurt me before, but this time he gave me blood. Between us, neither of us owes the other anything."
Ye Xinning remained silent for a long time before speaking softly.
Shen Nanxing hummed in agreement, "Sister-in-law, you've already made your decision, so whatever you say is fine."
...
Shen Nanxing stayed in the ward for a long time until she received a work-related phone call, at which point she got up and left.
Not long after Shen Nanxing left, Shen Lin returned.
He sat down by her bedside, took her hand, lowered his head, and gently kissed her palm. "What did you say? You talked for so long."
"It's nothing, just chatting."
Ye Xinning did not elaborate on what they had just discussed, and then changed the subject.
"What about you? Why were you gone for so long? Was it an important phone call?"
"It's Director Chen on the phone."
Shen Lin's words reminded Ye Xinning of Ye Rouxin, "Where's my mother?"
"The person has been released and is at the Ye family's house."
Hearing Shen Lin say this, Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Ye Rouxin was back home; the thing she had been worried about had a good ending.
"Mom said she wanted to come see you, but I told her to go home and rest first, and come another day."
"Um."
Ye Xinning nodded in agreement and said, "You did the right thing. Mom has just gotten out of a difficult situation, so she must not be in good condition. It's good for her to go back and rest first."
“I told her, ‘I’m here for you,’ and she said she felt very reassured.”
Ye Xinning looked up, her gaze falling on Shen Lin's face, sparkling. "Really? Mom seems to like you a lot more than before."
"Isn't it good?"
Shen Lin got up and sat on the hospital bed. This change made Ye Xinning lean against him. "I just don't know if there will ever be a day when you are more important than me in Mom's eyes."
Shen Lin chuckled softly, his hand landing naturally on Ye Xinning's waist. "Jealous?"
Ye Xinning denied it, saying, "That's not true at all."
Shen Lin chuckled, "What a hypocritical little thing."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Where is she being hypocritical?
"By the way, Xia He, is there any news?" Ye Xinning asked.
Shen Lin said softly, "Director Chen arranged for people to search, but the sea area is too vast, and they couldn't find them. Most of the people on Director Chen's side probably didn't survive; they were probably swept away by the sea to other places."
