Mu Yinjing didn't say her name, only the character "he," but Ye Xinning knew perfectly well that she was referring to Huo Yanzhi.
"It's been so long, and you still haven't let go?"
"Don't talk about me, you've come full circle and ended up back by Shen Lin's side."
Ye Xinning lowered her eyes and smiled gently, "That's true. Everyone thinks about love differently. I shouldn't assume that others think the same way I do just because I think about it."
Mu Yinjing didn't speak, and Ye Xinning didn't want to beat around the bush either. Her relationship with Mu Yinjing wasn't good enough for them to sit down and chat.
"Tell me, what brings you here?"
“After your accident, he donated blood to you and then fell seriously ill. He hasn’t shown any signs of getting better lately. Even if you don’t care about him, shouldn’t you go and see him?”
Ye Xinning was unaware that Huo Yanzhi was ill. "So, did he send you?"
"If he had actually asked me to, I might not have come. But he never intended to tell you from the beginning."
Ye Xinning lowered her head and chuckled softly, "I didn't realize that your trip abroad had made you seem a little more insightful."
“I don’t know what you mean by ‘thorough understanding,’ and I don’t know what’s going on in your minds. I’m simple-minded, or you could call me stupid. I’m here just hoping you can go and see him.”
Ye Xinning was surprised that Mu Yinjing could say such things.
As for going to see Huo Yanzhi...
She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. "How could you possibly think I would go see the person who killed my child?"
Mu Yinjing's eyes widened, not expecting Ye Xinning to respond like this after she had said so much.
"So you still hate?"
Ye Xinning's voice was very calm. "In the past, I felt hatred because if I hadn't met Huo Yanzhi, I wouldn't have had to go through so much sorrow in my life. But later, many things taught me to let go. My hatred for him was also a way of punishing myself."
Mu Yinjing's gaze became complicated. She pursed her red lips several times, but didn't know what to say.
In front of Ye Xinning, she usually couldn't find the words to refute him, nor could she change Ye Xinning's decision.
"Sometimes I don't understand why he would love such a boring woman."
Before Mu Yinjing left, he said this.
Ye Xinning does not deny that, as Mu Yinjing said, she is not an outstanding person in every aspect. She is easily trapped in her own emotions and is not a forgiving person. She cannot forget the past, nor can she ignore the hurt from the past.
“Go back now, and don’t come here again. Huo Yanzhi and I are even. He gave me a blood transfusion to save my life, and I won’t seek revenge. This is the most I can do.”
Ye Xinning stood at the door, looking at Mu Yinjing. These were her last words. After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Mu Yinjing and turned to go back into the house.
Mu Yinjing stood there, watching her back with a complicated expression.
...
Ye Xinning returned to the living room, and Aunt Wen looked at her and said, "Actually, Miss didn't need to come down. I could have just sent her away."
Ye Xinning walked to the sofa and sat down. "Aunt Wen has been entangled with her for so long, but she hasn't let her leave. This shows that she won't leave until she sees me."
"I really don't know how these people have the nerve to say those things to Miss. Do they think they didn't hurt her enough back then?" Aunt Wen said angrily when she talked about this.
Ye Xinning gently patted Aunt Wen's hand and said soothingly, "This is the last time. Their affairs have nothing to do with me from now on. Aunt Wen, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Seeing her like this, Aunt Wen said indulgently, "I was just thinking that Miss would be in a bad mood if she saw those people."
"Won't."
"It's good that Miss won't be affected by these people."
Ye Xinning thought of Shen Lin, "By the way, Aunt Wen, let me tell you something first."
"Yes, Miss, please speak."
"You don't need to tell Shen Lin about Mu Yinjing's visit here."
Aunt Wen was somewhat surprised that Ye Xinning emphasized this point separately. "Why? Does Miss not want Mr. Shen to know?"
“He had always been wary of my relationship with Huo Yanzhi. Although he said he had amnesia at the time, he didn’t tell him to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Aunt Wen naturally followed her arrangements.
...
Ye Xinning rested at home for a few more days, spending her days sleeping, talking to Aunt Wen, and reading. These monotonous days gradually became unbearable for her.
That evening, when Shen Lin returned, Ye Xinning sat on the bed, watching the man take a shower and then watch him make a phone call.
Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Chen Lin, I'm actually all better now."
Shen Lin had just hung up the phone and didn't hear what she said.
"Wife, what did you say?"
"I told them I wanted to go to work tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin frowned. "So anxious? Shen Nanxing said that your injury requires a long period of rest."
Ye Xinning, "..."
"Nanxing said it would take about a week. I was discharged from the hospital four days later and recovered very well; I'm completely healed."
I'm worried about you going to work, let's wait and see.
Ye Xinning knew he would say that. She leaned forward and took the initiative to hug Shen Lin's waist. "I really didn't lie to myself. I'm all better now. Please let me go to work. I'm all alone at home every day. You have no idea how bored I am."
It was rare for her to speak to him so affectionately. Shen Lin hugged her tightly. Her gaze was gentle, and there was nothing in her eyes but him.
Shen Lin suddenly felt a strong urge to kiss her.
In fact, that's exactly what he did.
Ye Xinning waited for a long time for his reply, and just as she raised her head to ask, a handsome face suddenly loomed in front of her, filled with deep affection in his eyes. Then, his thin lips pressed down and landed on her soft lips.
Ye Xinning was stunned for a second, wondering why this person had suddenly kissed her when they were talking about something else.
She wanted to push him away, but as soon as her hand touched his chest, she felt reluctant to let go. She sighed softly, lowered her hands, and stopped refusing, letting him take what he wanted.
Shen Lin kissed her earnestly, his hands gradually moving from her waist, one hand to her chin, the other supporting him on the bed. His warm breath was so close that Ye Xinning felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Shen Lin's kiss was too aggressive, as if he wanted to devour her whole. Ye Xinning's breathing became heavier and heavier. Shen Lin's hand had somehow moved to her front and landed on the button of her pajamas...
His kiss continued, and Ye Xinning felt dizzy.
Time passed second by second. She didn't know when Shen Lin had pushed her down onto the bed. Shen Lin leaned over her neck, panting, his voice low and hoarse.
"Ningning, shall we have a baby?"
