Ye Xinning chuckled softly upon hearing the man's words, which clearly betrayed his jealousy.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Tell me, do you care about him?"
Ye Xinning chuckled softly upon hearing these words.
"If I cared about him, he would be the one jealous in front of me now, not you."
Shen Lin was finally satisfied with this answer. He put his arm around Ye Xinning and said gently, "If you want to see Huo Qijun, you can tell me. I'll go with you. We're husband and wife. There's nothing we need to hide. Let's just let this go this time. Don't do it again next time, okay?"
Ye Xinning smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely tell you in advance next time."
"There will be a next time?"
Looking at the man's serious expression, Ye Xinning smiled gently, "I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. There won't be a next time. I was actually thinking of telling you, but after thinking about it, many things happened before I met you, and it's actually a bit awkward to bring them up when you're around."
“We are husband and wife. Is there anything you can’t say? You can’t say these things again.”
Shen Lin pressed his forehead against hers; the two were so close that Ye Xinning could clearly hear his heartbeat.
"Okay," she replied softly. At this moment, it seemed that all she could say and do was to completely follow Shen Lin's words.
Shen Lin lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"Oh, right, Aunt Xi called today and asked us to come back for dinner tomorrow night."
"OK."
Ye Xinning readily agreed, and indeed, she and Shen Lin hadn't eaten at the old house for many days.
...
The following afternoon, Ye Xinning and Shen Lin went back to the Shen residence for dinner. Shen Ting was also at home. She was on the phone when they entered. Upon seeing them, Shen Ting hung up the phone and greeted them with a smile.
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are back."
"Hmm." Shen Lin looked at Shen Ting. "Who were you talking to on the phone?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Chi Zhao said he wasn't feeling well and asked me to go to the hospital with him for a checkup. But it's strange, he only has a slight cold and fever, but he insisted on going to see Shen Nanxing, saying he didn't trust any other doctor."
Ye Xinning stood to the side, listening silently to their conversation. When she heard this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
Shen Lin turned around and saw her smiling. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Chi Zhao is really an interesting person."
Why must we go find Shen Nanxing?
Why did this illness come on so suddenly?
Naturally, as time goes by, one's state of mind will change.
Shen Lin could roughly guess what she was thinking; he had also noticed Chi Zhao's unusual behavior recently.
But Shen Lin didn't want to get involved with either Chi Zhao or Shen Nanxing. One was his good brother, and the other was his sister. No matter what he said, it wouldn't be appropriate.
Since that's the case, let them go their own way and see what the final outcome will be.
"I'm leaving now, elder brother and sister-in-law. When Aunt Xi and Dad come down later, please tell them."
Not long after Shen Ting left, Xi Yuan and Shen Yu came downstairs.
Xi Yuan's complexion wasn't good, which Ye Xinning noticed immediately. Coupled with the fact that they had been upstairs for so long, she was a little worried.
"Aunt Xi, are you feeling unwell? You look terrible."
"It's nothing, my stomach has been a little upset these past few days, it's nothing serious."
"Have you had it checked out? What's the situation?"
"We've gone to see the doctor. He said it was something unclean he ate. He's fine. You're all here now. Where's Chen Ting? Wasn't she just sitting in the living room?"
"Chi Zhao called and said he had something to do, so he took him away."
"Alright, since everyone's here, let's get ready to eat."
"Okay," Ye Xinning replied.
Everyone was at the dinner table when Shen Yu mentioned something halfway through the meal.
"I have to go abroad tomorrow. Your grandmother is not well, so I'm going to visit her."
When Shen Lin's grandmother was mentioned, Ye Xinning paused in her eating.
After her divorce from Shen Lin, she had no further information about Shen Lin's grandmother. Later, she met Shen Nanxing by chance, who said that the old lady had been sent abroad to recuperate. At that time, she thought that perhaps this was the part of Shen Lin that made her satisfied.
She didn't get along well with the old lady, but sometimes she wondered if she was asking too much of Shen Lin. The old lady was Shen Lin's grandmother, and sending her abroad must have made Shen Lin feel very bad.
"Okay, sure."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, Shen Lin didn't say much more, just this one sentence.
Ye Xinning sat to the side, subconsciously glancing towards Shen Lin.
Shen Lin noticed her gaze but said nothing. He simply started picking out her favorite dishes for her.
With just this one gesture, Ye Xinning seemed to immediately understand what Shen Lin meant.
“Ningning, your Aunt Xi hasn’t been feeling well these past few days. If you’re not too busy with work, you can come over and keep her company.”
"Okay, Dad."
After those few words, everyone started talking about other things and quickly shifted the topic to something else.
After the meal, Shen Yu probably had something to say to Shen Lin alone, so the two went to the study together.
Ye Xinning and Xi Yuan sat on the sofa and talked.
“Ningning, we’ve seen what happened with Huo Qijun, so your mother shouldn’t be involved, right?”
Ye Xinning nodded and thanked Aunt Xi, "Thank you, Aunt Xi. Huo Qijun did all of this on his own, it has nothing to do with my mother."
"Well, it's good that it's alright. I was just thinking that if your mother gets involved, you'll probably be busy again."
No.
Xi Yuan then asked, "You haven't been too busy with work lately, have you?"
"It's alright, not too many."
Ye Xinning put it rather tactfully. During this period, the law firm had a lot of cases, and in addition, they had not yet found the right person. She still had a lot on her plate. But as much as she had, it was only natural that she would take time to accompany Xi Yuan when Shen Yu was going abroad.
Ye Xinning thought to herself that after she said that, Xi Yuan would ask her to come to the old house.
But the next second, Xi Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Since you're not busy, shouldn't we also make arrangements for the child?"
Ye Xinning was drinking water when Xi Yuan's words almost made her spit it out. It seemed that all those words were just to urge her to get married.
"Aunt Xi," she said softly, a little embarrassed.
But Xi Yuan held her hand and said, "Don't be shy, it's time for you and Shen Lin to have a child."
