Huo Yanzhi knew that no matter how much time passed, the answer would be the same.
Over the years, he has stood there countless times watching her leave.
This time is no different.
The only difference is that before, he was determined to have her and believed he could win her over.
This time, he knew that his and her lives would never intersect again.
Mu Yinjing looked at Huo Yanzhi standing there, completely puzzled. "Are you just standing here waiting for her to come out, instead of leaving, to listen to what she has to say?"
Huo Yanzhi withdrew his gaze. "Otherwise what?"
"Are you really not going to say anything about the child she was pregnant with back then? Huo Yanzhi, have you thought this through? If you don't say it now, you won't have the chance to say it later."
Huo Yanzhi remained silent for a long time, but only said one sentence: "Whether I say it or not is not important."
Mu Yinjing's gaze was exceptionally complex as she looked at Huo Yanzhi, "Only she could have made you go to such lengths."
Huo Yanzhi didn't say anything and walked inside.
Mu Yinjing didn't want to see him like this. "Huo Yanzhi, I really don't understand what's so good about Ye Xinning. If you want her, why don't you tell her that the child she was carrying was originally..."
Before Mu Yinjing could finish speaking, Huo Yanzhi interrupted her, "Shut up."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about the frustration in his heart, Mu Yinjing looked at Huo Yanzhi and inexplicably felt a desire not to follow his wishes.
"Only I know about this, you know about it, and the doctor at the time knows about it. If I don't speak up, no one else will know. Huo Yanzhi, are you really willing to let Ye Xinning continue to misunderstand like this? Are you willing to let Ye Xinning return to Shen Lin's side like this? You were thinking about her health back then. That child was an ectopic pregnancy. Even if you didn't do anything, that child wouldn't have survived."
Mu Yinjing practically roared these words, and after she finished speaking, it was clear that Huo Yanzhi's aura became even colder than before. "I told you to shut up."
Mu Yinjing used to think that she could have Huo Yanzhi's love, but after so many things happened between Huo Yanzhi and Ye Xinning, she suddenly didn't understand. So is this what people call love?
"You didn't even tell her this, and you're just letting her misunderstand all this time. Haven't you thought you'd regret it?"
After saying this, Mu Yinjing looked at Huo Yanzhi, hoping to see something else in his eyes.
However, Huo Yanzhi simply walked straight outside.
Mu Yinjing's eyes reddened. "I just don't understand what's so good about Ye Xinning? Is she worth you doing this to her, even refusing to tell her about this? She and Shen Lin are so loving, don't you feel uncomfortable about it?"
"I've already said, my affairs are none of your business."
After saying this, Huo Yanzhi disappeared from sight.
Mu Yinjing stood there, watching with a complicated expression as Huo Yanzhi disappeared from sight.
...
After visiting Huo Qijun, Ye Xinning returned to Ming Mansion. As soon as she reached the door, she heard a series of conversations coming from inside.
Curious, she walked in and saw Shen Nanxing, Chi Zhao, Shen Ting, and others sitting on the sofa.
She looked at them in surprise, "Why did you come over?"
"We just wanted to visit you since we haven't seen each other in a long time. What, are you not welcoming us?" Shen Nanxing spoke first, linking her arm with Ye Xinning's as she spoke.
Ye Xinning smiled slightly, "How could I not welcome you? Please have a seat."
Shen Nanxing looked at Ye Xinning's hand with a puzzled expression. "Sister-in-law, didn't my brother say that you went shopping with Ye Xiaoxiao? Why didn't you buy anything?"
Ye Xinning didn't want Shen Nanxing to ask this question.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "It's nothing, I just didn't like any of the things I saw, so I didn't buy anything."
“Actually, sister-in-law, you don’t need to go shopping yourself. If you like any brand or store, just ask my brother to have it delivered to your home so you can choose.” Shen Ting said with a smile as she sat on the sofa.
"Hmm, I can consider it later."
Shen Nanxing looked at Shen Wenting and said, "You have no idea how happy we women can be when we go shopping."
Shen Ting pursed her lips, "I don't understand, I don't understand."
Shen Lin also came to Ye Xinning's side, "Don't you like it?"
Everyone was focused on her, discussing her shopping trip. Ye Xinning's expression remained unchanged, but she felt a little tormented inside. No matter what, she was lying, and she still felt a little guilty.
"Hmm, it's alright, I'll go check it out another time. By the way, how's the cooking going in the kitchen? I'd like to go take a look."
Shen Lin grasped her hand, "No need, Aunt Wen and the others are in the kitchen. You can sit and talk to Nanxing for a while."
Ye Xinning nodded.
After dinner, Ye Xinning and Shen Nanxing went to the living room to chat. Just as they were having a serious conversation, Shen Nanxing's phone rang.
Ye Xinning turned her head away from her screen.
Shen Nanxing answered the phone and spoke gently to the person on the other end for a while before hanging up.
After the call ended, she saw Ye Xinning staring at her meaningfully.
"What's wrong?"
"Was that your boyfriend calling?"
Even though she had been with her boyfriend for a while, Shen Nanxing was still a little unfamiliar with this form of address.
"Um."
"You two seem to get along quite well. Do you have any plans to get married?"
Ye Xinning spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, this might not be the right thing to say, but I think you might be acting a bit impulsively?"
Ye Xinning's words silenced Shen Nanxing. "What did you mean by impulsive, sister-in-law?"
"I think that what happened between you and Chi Zhao is probably not over yet."
Ye Xinning, with her keen eyes, had already noticed that something was amiss.
Shen Nanxing and Chi Zhao have been appearing together far too often lately.
Moreover, Chi Zhao has always been a very idle person who doesn't care about anything. In the past, among their group, Chi Zhao was the one they saw the least. But recently, Chi Zhao seems to be increasingly eager to make his presence known to them.
Shen Nanxing didn't want this matter to attract Ye Xinning's attention. "No, Chi Zhao and I have never actually started anything. There's nothing between us."
"If you have nothing at all, then do you still have Chi Zhao in your heart right now?"
"No."
Do you believe what you're saying?
Shen Nanxing remained silent for a long time without speaking.
Ye Xinning sighed, "Nanxing, I know you love Chi Zhao."
