Ye Xinning was truly surprised that Shen Lin could stop and ask this question at this moment.
She looked into the man's deep gaze, smiled, and nodded slightly.
After receiving a response, Shen Lin was noticeably more anxious than before.
Ye Xinning grabbed his mischievous hand, not forgetting what they had just discussed.
"I want to go to work. My injury is completely healed. Is that alright, Mr. Shen?"
Her gentle tone sounded especially nagging at that moment.
Shen Lin couldn't hide his amusement. "Whether you can go to work or not depends on your performance tonight."
Ye Xinning, "..."
...
afterwards.
Shen Lin carried Ye Xinning to take a bath. Ye Xinning was too tired to move, but someone's hands were still restless.
Ye Xinning gave him a reproachful look. "Mr. Shen, moderation is a good word. I hope you can learn from it."
A smile flickered in Shen Lin's eyes as he looked at the weak woman in his arms, leaned down, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Being hungry for too long doesn't count as being undisciplined."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Is it okay to say "I've been hungry for too long"?
Ye Xinning's blush hadn't faded yet, and after what he said, her face turned even redder.
Seeing how shy she was, Shen Lin stopped teasing her.
After quickly finishing his shower, he carried her back to the bedroom and kissed her hair again. "Okay, let's go to sleep."
Ye Xinning was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, but she was still thinking about whether she could go to the law firm tomorrow.
"So, did I do a good job?"
Ye Xinning closed her eyes and groped her way to wrap her arms around Shen Lin's neck, snuggling into her embrace.
Even the most resolute attitude would have to surrender to Shen Lin's gentle approach.
Are you sure your injuries are completely healed?
"Yes, I'm sure."
She was so persistent that Shen Lin couldn't do anything about it.
"I'll take you to the law firm tomorrow."
Finally receiving a satisfactory answer, Ye Xinning hummed in agreement and finally fell asleep peacefully.
...
The next day.
Ye Xinning went to work with Shen Lin. Shen Lin drove her to the lawyer's office, still worried, and said, "Don't lift heavy things. Try to get help with things like pouring water or coffee. If you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell me and I'll come pick you up immediately."
Ye Xinning still felt that Shen Lin's behavior was somewhat exaggerated. She patted his hand and said, "Alright, I know. You should go to the company now, it's getting late."
"Um."
After Shen left, Ye Xinning turned and walked into the law firm.
They bumped into Xiao Chen and Ye Xiaoxiao as soon as they went in.
Xiao Chen knew yesterday that she was going back to the law firm, so he wasn't too surprised to see her now. "You're here."
"Um."
Ye Xinning nodded and said with a smile, "Have you been having too many headaches lately? You don't look too well."
"Stop talking, if you come, my stress will be reduced by more than half."
"So it turns out I was the one who delayed things during that period, and even made you work so hard."
As Ye Xinning said this, the corners of her lips curved slightly. They were both joking, and even Ye Xiaoxiao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xiao, if my brother-in-law saw you and my sister getting along like this, he would probably be jealous."
"Is President Shen really that petty?" Xiao Chen asked, but in his heart he already agreed with what Ye Xiaoxiao said.
He remembered the last time he called Ye Xinning to discuss a work-related matter, the call was interrupted by Shen Lin before they could exchange more than a few words.
That guy is incredibly jealous.
"Of course, you have no idea how worried I was about my sister's injury this time."
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao was about to launch into another tirade, Ye Xinning quickly pressed her hand down, "Alright, alright, that's enough. How can you have so much to say?"
"I just wanted to let Director Xiao know how enviable my brother-in-law's feelings for you are."
Ye Xinning smiled silently, "Are the three of us sure we want to just stand outside talking like this without doing any work?"
Xiao Chen also said, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. You guys go do your things."
After Xiao Chen left, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao returned to their office.
Back in her office, Ye Xinning had some recent case leads compiled and given to her, while she went to look at the robbery case that had troubled Xiao Chen last time.
The two of them did their own thing. Although Ye Xiaoxiao had a funny personality, she was also very serious when she worked and had high work efficiency. She finished sorting out the case and handed it over to her in just one morning and one afternoon.
Looking at the large number of cases in her hands, Ye Xinning couldn't help but be surprised, "So many!"
"Of course, sister. Think about it, after Xia Wan left the law firm, we were already short-staffed. And then you took leave, so naturally there were a lot of documents piling up."
"Really?" Ye Xinning frowned as she looked at the many cases in her hands. "Did Xiao Chen say whether we need to add more people?"
"Director Xiao is considering this matter and has also asked the personnel department to draft a recruitment plan, but it is unknown when they will be able to start their jobs."
Ye Xinning wasn't worried about that. The law firm had a good reputation in Nancheng, and with Xiao Chen's leadership, there were still many people who wanted to work there.
"We'll hold on for a while longer before they arrive; there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Um."
In the evening, just as Ye Xinning was about to leave after get off work, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly brought her a tablet and brought it close to her face. "Sister, look."
Ye Xinning looked over curiously. What she saw there stunned her.
— Kenneth Fok, chairman of the Fok Group, has been taken away by relevant authorities for alleged illegal business operations.
"Huo Qijun got arrested, sis." Ye Xiaoxiao saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so she waved her hand in front of her several times.
Ye Xinning took the tablet from Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, still quite surprised.
"How could it be so sudden?"
"Who knows? But I've always felt that Kenneth Fok is dishonest, and now someone has finally caught him red-handed."
Ye Xinning didn't know what kind of methods Huo Qijun had in managing the company, but she knew that she had been in life-or-death situations many times before, and several times she had been involved with Huo Qijun.
The news report didn't specify the reason, so Ye Xinning thought of Ye Rouxin.
"I'm going to call my mom."
Ye Rouxin dialed the number, but no one answered for a long time until it was automatically disconnected.
Just as Ye Xinning was thinking of dialing a second time, her phone rang.
She looked down and saw it was Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning didn't think much of it and answered the phone. When Ye Xiaoxiao saw that it was Shen Lin, she also left the office without disturbing them.
"Hello." Ye Xinning answered the phone.
"I'm at the entrance of the law firm."
When Ye Xinning heard him say he was at the law firm entrance, she was somewhat surprised and said, "Why are you here so early? I thought you would have some time."
"To see you, it's never too early."
