Ye Xinning asked slowly, her eyes half-closed, with an unusually languid air.
"What?"
"Huo Yanzhi and Mu Yinjing are getting married, and it's scheduled for the end of this month."
Ye Xinning opened her eyes instantly, not because she was particularly concerned about what Ye Xiaoxiao had said, but because...
I didn't expect that.
"When was this news published? I haven't seen it at all."
"It's normal that you didn't see it, sister. If you had, my brother-in-law would probably be jealous again."
Ye Xinning, "..."
"It's the news I saw this morning. The Huo Group had encountered a lot of problems before, so Huo Yanzhi's choice to marry Mu Yinjing at this time makes some sense. Although the Mu family is not as powerful as the Shen or Ye families, it is still a well-known group in Nancheng. A marriage between the two families can help the Huo Group to some extent."
Ye Xinning fell silent. She could never fathom Huo Yanzhi's thoughts. She had always thought Huo Yanzhi was crazy, both in the past and now.
"I understand. Thank you. It makes no difference to me whether I know this or not; I won't have any contact with him anymore."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she could clearly feel Shen Lin's gaze coming from the side.
"Alright, knowing that you and your brother-in-law are loving, Huo Yanzhi is definitely not important anymore. I'm telling you this so that you can rest assured and be with your brother-in-law in peace from now on."
Ye Xinning nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'm on my way to the law firm now. We can talk about the rest when I get there."
"Okay, sis, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone with Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Xinning turned her head to look at Shen Lin.
The man was looking straight ahead, driving attentively.
Ye Xinning smiled, but he didn't ask.
We arrived at the law firm's entrance this way.
As Ye Xinning unbuckled her seatbelt, she said, "Then I'm off. Be careful on your way back to the company. See you tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xinning unbuckled her seatbelt and made to get out of the car, but Shen Lin grabbed her hand just before she got out.
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
Ye Xinning turned around and saw the man's barely suppressed displeasure. She thought to herself, "I knew it! This guy was really something. He'd been curious ever since she hung up the phone, but he only asked this question now."
"I thought you could just hold back and not ask."
"Who was he that you were talking about just now?"
"Nobody, it was just Xiaoxiao who called me and said that Huo Yanzhi and Mu Yinjing have announced again that they are getting married."
"Why did Ye Xiaoxiao insist on calling you about this?" Shen Lin was a little jealous. Ye Xiaoxiao had called Ye Xinning to tell her about Huo Yanzhi's marriage to Mu Yinjing.
"She wanted to tell me that I should live a good life with you, and that Huo Yanzhi would not bother me again this time."
Ye Xinning knew what Shen Lin was thinking without even having to guess. She reassured the man, "Huo Yanzhi and I have never had any feelings for each other. You don't need to be jealous of him in the future."
"I can't pretend that this didn't happen, just because I think about how much he coveted you."
Ye Xinning chuckled and said, "We all live in the South City, and we'll see each other all the time. If you get angry like this every time, who knows how many more times you'll get angry in the future?"
"Then I can't help but get angry whenever I hear his name come out of your mouth."
Ye Xinning sighed, cupping Shen Lin's face in her hands, utterly bewildered as to why a man could be so jealous.
"Do you think I'm being a bit paranoid?"
"Um."
"Won't that annoy you?" Shen Lin asked.
Ye Xinning blinked her eyes, and before she could say anything, Shen Lin pulled her into his arms and kissed her without warning.
Ye Xinning's eyes widened. After the kiss ended, Shen Lin's voice was even deeper than before, "No matter what you think, I'm just jealous. Call me obsessive or domineering, but I just can't accept any man coveting you. I love you so much that I can't tolerate even the slightest imperfection."
Ye Xinning should have felt pressured by these words.
But after Shen Lin finished speaking, Ye Xinning didn't feel sad at all. On the contrary, she felt more at ease.
“I’m not angry, Shen Lin. I know you’re unhappy. Actually, I wanted to tell you when I hung up the phone with Xiao Xiao, but seeing how curious you were but didn’t ask a single question, it was… kind of cute. So I thought I’d tease you a bit.”
"Cute?" Shen Lin frowned. Did he even have anything to do with that word?
“Yes.” Ye Xinning smiled, her eyes crinkling, and leaned forward to kiss Shen Lin’s thin lips.
"I will definitely keep my distance from Huo Yanzhi. I won't meet with him unless it's absolutely necessary. Are you relieved to hear that?"
"Um."
Shen Lin tightened his grip.
Ye Xinning chuckled softly, "Since it's settled, Mr. Shen, can you let go now? If I don't go in soon, I might be late again."
Even after Ye Xinning finished speaking, Shen Lin still didn't let go of her hand. Just as she was about to speak again, the man finally released her.
See you tonight.
"Okay, see you tonight."
...
In the evening, Ye Xinning received a call from Ye Rouxin, asking if she was busy and if so, to bring Shen Lin home for dinner.
Ye Xinning thought about it and agreed. Huo Qijun went inside, and Huo Yanzhi stopped staying at the Ye family's house. Only Ye Rouxin was left in the entire Ye family. She really should go and see Ye Rouxin.
After hanging up with Ye Rouxin, Ye Xinning called Shen Lin.
The phone rang for a long time before Shen Lin answered. Ye Xinning slowly asked, "What's wrong? Are you busy?"
"Yes, we're in a meeting."
"Oh, in a meeting?"
Ye Xinning was surprised to learn that Chen Lin was in a meeting. "Then you keep busy, I'll hang up now."
"It's alright, go ahead."
Ye Xinning, "..."
"My mom just called and said we should come back to the Ye family home for dinner. Do you have time?"
"Okay, I'll go over after this meeting. I'll have Wenzhu pick you up and take you to Mom's."
Ye Xinning refused Wenzhu's offer to come over, saying, "It's inconvenient for you to be away from your meeting. You don't need to come pick me up. I'll go with Xiaoxiao."
Before Shen Lin could say anything more, Ye Xinning said, "Don't worry, I'm with Xiaoxiao, aren't you comfortable with that?"
After hesitating for a while, Shen Lin agreed.
"Okay, go wait for me at Mom's."
"good."
...
After get off work, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao went to the Ye family home together.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Xinning was looking at the news on her phone and chatting casually with Ye Xiaoxiao.
Just then, a text message from an unknown number came in on my phone.
Ye Xinning opened the message out of curiosity. The message contained only one sentence.
—You are so lucky right now.
