A deep voice came from the other end of the phone. Ye Xinning tightened her grip on the phone. Luckily, Ye Xiaoxiao had already left, otherwise the blush that suddenly rose on her face would definitely have been teased again.
"When did Mr. Shen start using such sweet talk?"
"Sweet nothings?" A low chuckle came from the other end of the line. "I think this kind of interaction is just right."
Ye Xinning, "..."
She couldn't keep talking to him about these meaningless things; if she continued, she wouldn't know how to respond.
"Wait at the door for a moment, I'll be right out."
After saying that, she hung up the phone before the person on the other end could speak.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning quickly packed her things.
When she went out, she didn't see Ye Xiaoxiao, so she assumed she had left and didn't linger any longer.
She walked out of the law firm and realized that it was raining outside.
She was in a dilemma; she hadn't brought an umbrella today.
The security guard at the law firm saw her standing there and kindly asked, "Director Ye, didn't you bring an umbrella?"
Ye Xinning nodded. "I forgot to check the weather forecast today."
"I have a spare one here. If Director Ye doesn't mind, you can take it and use it."
The security guard was very kind and kindly handed her the umbrella.
Ye Xinning quickly said thank you and was about to take the umbrella when footsteps approached.
She looked up toward the source of the sound and saw Shen Lin.
He was wearing a black suit, one hand in his pocket and the other holding an umbrella, walking towards her. The man was tall and straight, with perfect proportions and impeccable features. At that moment, Ye Xinning felt as if the male lead in a Korean drama had come to life.
While she was lost in thought, Shen Lin had already arrived in front of her.
"Why did you come down?" she asked softly, but then felt the question was somewhat superfluous.
Sure enough, the next second they heard Shen Lin say, "You're stuck here because of the rain, how could I not come?"
Ye Xinning stared blankly into Shen Lin's eyes, thinking back to the day Xia He kidnapped her, when he said the same thing.
Ye Xinning couldn't describe the feeling; her heart was in complete turmoil, as if something was about to surge out from the depths of her soul, completely beyond her control.
That feeling is the heart's unique way of responding to the person in front of it.
Ye Xinning returned the umbrella to the security guard with a gentle and polite smile, "Thank you for the umbrella, but I don't really need it anymore."
The security guard didn't recognize Shen Lin yet. Seeing such an outstanding man come to pick up Ye Xinning, he asked curiously, "Is this Director Ye's boyfriend?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "He is my husband."
After saying that, Ye Xinning left with Shen Lin, leaving the security guards standing there dumbfounded.
...
Inside the car.
As soon as Ye Xinning got into the car, Shen Lin pulled her into his arms and then kissed her without any warning.
As Shen Lin held the little woman in his arms, wanting to repeat what he had just said about her being his husband, he couldn't help but tighten his grip. She always had this kind of charm; just a simple sentence was enough to fascinate him and make him lose his mind.
When the kiss ended, Ye Xinning's chest heaved violently, still wondering why Shen Lin had suddenly kissed her.
"Could you repeat what you just said?"
In her dazed state, Ye Xinning heard Shen Lin's words, and her already confused mind became even more muddled. "What did you say?"
"It's what you said to the security guard."
"Thank you for the umbrella, uncle, but I don't really need it."
"Not this sentence."
Goodbye, Uncle.
"no."
As Ye Xinning watched the man's gaze grow increasingly profound, something flashed through her mind, and she suddenly understood.
She smiled and reached out to wrap her arms around Shen Lin's neck. "If neither of those are the case, then which sentence would Mr. Shen like to hear? Could you please tell me directly?"
Shen Lin pressed her head down and, without saying a word, kissed Ye Xinning's lips again.
After a while, he looked at her again, his tone threatening, "If you don't tell me, I'll keep kissing you like this until you're willing to talk."
Ye Xinning smiled gently. This time, she stopped teasing him and said softly, "You are my husband, my husband, and the father of my future children."
Shen Lin heard the answer he wanted, and his eyes were filled with warmth.
He held her tightly, and just thinking about her words filled him with warmth.
Ye Xinning nestled obediently in his arms and asked him curiously, "Why do you like what I said?"
Even now, looking back, Ye Xinning still finds it unbelievable.
She simply couldn't understand how such an ordinary sentence could cause such a huge emotional change in Shen Lin.
"That was how you acknowledged my identity, and it was the first time you openly introduced our relationship to outsiders."
"That's why."
Shen Lin's eyes were deep as he asked, "What do you mean by 'just because of this'?"
Ye Xinning explained, "I just thought these were all very ordinary and common things. I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction. If you like, I will introduce you to others in this way whenever necessary."
She was willing, willing to let everyone know they were husband and wife, and willing for those people to be witnesses to their marital happiness.
Shen Lin didn't speak, but held her hand tightly as her answer.
On the way back, Ye Xinning inexplicably thought of Huo Qijun.
"Are you aware of Kenneth Fok's illegal business operations?"
"Um."
Shen Lin's reaction was calm, and Ye Xinning had a strange feeling that something was going on in her mind: "Is it you?"
Does it matter whether it's me or not?
Shen Lin neither admitted nor denied it, but Ye Xinning knew that this was another way of tacitly agreeing to something.
"It really is you."
She had been wondering why Huo Qijun's affair had started so suddenly when she saw it during the day, and now it seemed that she had found the answer.
“I didn’t actually do anything. He himself was dishonest. I just asked Wenzhu to pay special attention to him and collect some information to hand over to the relevant departments.”
Ye Xinning was shocked. She didn't know when Shen Lin had started doing this, but there was no doubt that the purpose of doing so was to help her with the grievances she had suffered.
Ye Xinning was touched, and her tone softened as she looked at Shen Lin.
"Kenneth Fok is dishonest, and he has only himself to blame. It's just that my mother will probably have to worry about this for a while."
"Whether it's troublesome or not is secondary. Moreover, Huo Qijun is a shrewd and calculating man. Who knows if his approach to Mom is true love or if he has other motives?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head, thinking about Huo Qijun and Ye Rouxin.
"Back then, I always found it strange that Kenneth Fok and my mother met."
