"I'm not going."
Ye Xinning answered quickly, almost without hesitation.
"Are you really not going?"
Ye Rouxin asked again, and Ye Xinning gave the same answer, "I'm not going."
Ye Rouxin knew a thing or two about Ye Xinning's personality. If she still refused to go after all this talk, then there was no way she would go.
"Mom, I will not have any contact with Huo Yanzhi in the future. Shen Lin is my husband, and I need to consider his feelings. Moreover, I don't want him to get angry for no reason because of someone else."
Having said all that, Ye Xinning already understood.
Ye Rouxin sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. "It's good that you've made your decision. I won't say anything more. Well then, I'll go and tell Yanzhi that your health isn't what it used to be, so you need to rest more and not work too hard. You should delegate what you can to others."
"good."
"Okay, you should get some rest too. I'll hang up now."
"Okay, Mom, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone with Ye Rouxin, Ye Xinning sat on the sofa, thinking about Huo Yanzhi and Mu Yinjing. It seemed that this time, they were really going to get married.
That's great. Mu Yinjing has liked Huo Yanzhi for so many years, and this marriage can be considered a fulfillment of her wish.
Huo Yanzhi has finally broken free from his own obsession, which is actually a good thing.
...
For the next few days, Shen Lin would drop Ye Xinning off at the law firm every day, and Shen Lin would personally come to pick her up at the law firm every afternoon.
Over time, even the security guard would say to Shen Lin, "Oh, Mr. Shen is here to pick up Attorney Ye again."
Ye Xinning saw all of this and was moved by Shen Lin's thoughtfulness, but at the same time she felt touched, she also felt a little guilty.
Every day after returning home, Shen Lin would work in her study for several hours. Sometimes she would wake up in her bedroom and see that it was already past midnight and Shen Lin was still busy.
She had also told Shen Lin that she didn't need to be picked up; she could drive back herself or hire a driver to pick her up and drop her off.
However, Shen Lin rejected all of them. Shen Lin's exact words were:
—The only person sitting next to you can be me; I wouldn't feel comfortable with anyone else.
Ye Xinning couldn't change it, so she just went along with it.
It seems that the rear-end collision last time really scared Shen Lin. Maybe after a while, Shen Lin will be less persistent.
...
That day, Ye Xinning was busy at the law firm all morning. The afternoon's plan was to meet a client with Ye Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Chen meant that Ye Xiaoxiao should go alone, and that she should rest at the law firm and not go out.
However, Ye Xinning refused. She had only found out she was pregnant a few days ago and didn't have any uncomfortable symptoms, so it wasn't as exaggerated as they said.
Xiao Chen couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he arranged for Ye Xiaoxiao to follow her. Ye Xiaoxiao was basically in charge of everything, and Ye Xinning only needed to make some important additions.
Ye Xiaoxiao drove Ye Xinning to meet her client at a restaurant.
The conversation with the client went very smoothly, and everything was settled in about an hour.
After finishing their business, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao prepared to leave and return to the law firm. However, just as Ye Xinning stood up, she heard Ye Xiaoxiao say anxiously, "Sister, be careful."
Before Ye Xinning could react, she heard the sound of glass shattering on the floor, and the next second she was pulled into someone's protective embrace.
Ye Xinning froze, looked up, and saw Huo Yanzhi's tense jaw.
With the crisis averted, Huo Yanzhi released her and retreated to a position some distance away.
"Excuse me, miss, I didn't know you would stand up suddenly."
The waitress apologized, and Ye Xiaoxiao took her hand and checked her carefully. After making sure she was alright, she said, "Sister, that cup of hot water almost spilled on you just now."
Ye Xinning understood; it was Huo Yanzhi who appeared in time to shield her.
"Be careful next time. Don't be so reckless. If you don't even have basic judgment, then you don't need to do this job."
Ye Xinning's gaze fell on the waiter, a young man. Instead of glossing over the earlier incident, Ye Xinning chose this stern approach.
Huo Yanzhi appeared just in time. What if no one had been there? What if that cup of water had scalded her?
She doesn't have a saintly heart, and she certainly couldn't smile and say she's fine after almost being hurt.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
The waiter was still apologizing, and he seemed to genuinely realize his mistake.
"Okay, go do your own thing."
After the waiter left, Ye Xinning finally turned her gaze to Huo Yanzhi. "Thank you for what happened earlier."
"You're welcome. I'm glad you're alright."
"Um."
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
"Okay, goodbye."
"goodbye."
Huo Yanzhi nodded slightly, took a step, and quickly disappeared from Ye Xinning's sight.
Ye Xinning didn't say a word, but just stared thoughtfully in the direction Huo Yanzhi left.
...
Before long, it was the day before Huo Yanzhi's wedding. After taking a shower in the bedroom, Ye Xinning went to the study.
The door wasn't closed properly, and you could see Chen Lin working diligently inside.
Ye Xinning thought for a moment, then turned around and went downstairs to pour Shen Lin a glass of milk.
Returning to the study door, Ye Xinning knocked symbolically once more. Upon hearing the knock, Shen Lin looked up.
Upon seeing that it was her, he got up from his desk, walked over to her, took her hand, and Ye Xinning followed him inside.
"Is there still a lot of work to do?"
"fine."
As Shen Lin spoke, he gently kissed her lips. "Why did you come here?"
"I'll pour you a glass of milk; you've been working so hard."
Shen Lin was deeply moved that she would personally pour milk for him while pregnant, but he was also a little scared.
"It's fine for Aunt Wen and the others to handle this. What if you fall or get hurt if you go down so late?"
Ye Xinning smiled gently and said, "It's just pouring a glass of milk, it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be."
Shen Lin took the milk from her hand and took a sip.
Ye Xinning stared at him with wide eyes, "Is it good?"
Shen Lin's eyes darkened. "Would Mrs. Shen like to try some too?"
It was just a glass of milk, and Ye Xinning wasn't particularly interested in it at first, but when Shen Lin said that, she inexplicably nodded and said, "Mm."
Shen Lin took another sip of milk, and the next second he kissed her lips. The milk and the different temperature of his lips were so warm that she was almost immersed in this wonderful feeling. Shen Lin kissed her without restraint. He kissed her very seriously and affectionately, and at the same time, he made Ye Xinning feel his passion.
