In which aspect?
Ye Xinning, "..."
She had every reason to believe that the person in front of her was lying; how could he not know what she meant?
"Don't play dumb, I'm really tired, and the doctor also said that it's best not to do that during the first and last three months of pregnancy."
Did I say I was going to do it?
Ye Xinning was amused by his self-righteous words. "Then what is Mr. Shen doing here? I personally think that if Mr. Shen had taken his hand off me before saying this, it might have been a little more believable."
As soon as Ye Xinning finished speaking, Shen Lin's low, somewhat irregular laughter was heard.
"why are you laughing?"
"My Ningning is so adorable when she's trying to reason."
"..."
cute?
This word probably has absolutely nothing to do with her; only Shen Lin could say something like that.
I suspect you're just giving me the runaround.
“No.” Shen Lin sighed softly at this moment, “You are pregnant, and I know that we can’t do it during the first three months. Just holding you, just holding you, is enough to give me a lot of peace of mind.”
Ye Xinning looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"
Shen Lin chuckled and gently pinched her waist, saying in a doting tone, "Really, if I were still thinking about that kind of thing while you were pregnant, would I even deserve to say I love you?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Well, maybe she really did misunderstand from the beginning.
Thinking this, Ye Xinning snuggled closer to Shen Lin. The drowsiness she had felt earlier seemed to have vanished now that she was in Shen Lin's arms.
"What did you talk about with Gu Shilin for so long?"
"It's nothing, I just mentioned my missing cousin."
Ye Xinning only learned about this matter from Shen Lin and Gu Shilin's conversation before. It hadn't been long, and there were still many details she didn't know. Now that Shen Lin was talking about it, her curiosity was piqued.
"I'm very curious, how exactly did my cousin get lost?"
"He went to the amusement park with his aunt. He wanted a toy, so his aunt went to buy it for him. But when his aunt came back, he was gone."
"Did Auntie say these things?"
"Yes, my aunt said it a long time ago. Over the years, this has been a hurdle she can't get over."
Ye Xinning lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Do you think there's a good chance that my lost cousin can be found again?"
"Whether it's big or small, this is something that must be done. No matter what, we can't give up the search. If we give up, it will be a declaration of death for my aunt."
Ye Xinning thought about it and agreed. Although Mu Mingwei didn't like her, she still felt sorry for Mu Mingwei in this respect.
"Should I ask my parents to help look for someone too?"
Shen Lin shook his head and said, "No need, I'll have people keep looking."
After Shen Lin said that, Ye Xinning said nothing more.
Seeing the sleepiness in her eyes, Shen Lin couldn't bear to keep talking to her. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Okay, go to sleep."
"Okay, goodnight, Mr. Shen."
...
The next morning, Ye Xinning woke up and didn't see Shen Lin. After a quick wash, she went downstairs. Aunt Wen was in the living room. When she saw that she was awake, she heated up a glass of milk and brought it to her. "Miss, have some milk."
Ye Xinning took the milk, drank it, and then asked, "Aunt Wen, where is Chen Lin?"
"The gentleman left early, saying there were things to do at the company. He asked me to tell you that he has arranged for Mr. Gu to take you to the law firm."
Ye Xinning glanced at her phone. It was only seven in the morning. Why was Shen Lin leaving so early? Had something serious happened to him?
"Okay, I understand. I'll go to the law firm myself later. I don't need Gu Shilin to take me."
"Second Brother really understands Second Sister-in-law." As soon as Ye Xinning finished speaking, another male voice rang out.
Ye Xinning turned around and saw Gu Shilin standing on the stairs, smiling.
Ye Xinning smiled and said, "Good morning, Shi Lin."
"Good morning, sister-in-law. My second brother really guessed you wouldn't let me take you. He even called me separately and told me I absolutely had to take you to the law firm."
Ye Xinning said with a hint of helplessness, "I can drive myself. Don't listen to him. He's making a big fuss over nothing."
Gu Shilin came down the stairs, shook his head and said, "This is nothing to be alarmed about. Second sister-in-law is pregnant now, and so many things have happened before, so we have to be careful in everything we do."
"You really don't need to take me. If you're worried about me driving, I can just take a taxi."
As soon as Ye Xinning finished speaking, Gu Shilin shook his head, "Second sister-in-law, why are you being so polite with me? I'll take you there, and you can also take a stroll around Nancheng while you're there. It's not a difficult thing to do, so there's no need for you to be so polite."
Now that things have come to this point, if Ye Xinning were to refuse again, it would be somewhat pretentious.
"Okay, let's go together after breakfast."
"OK."
After Ye Xinning and Gu Shilin sat down together, Ye Xinning asked Mu Mingwei, "Hasn't Auntie come down yet?"
“My mom is in the yard outside. She said she doesn’t need breakfast and that I don’t need to worry about her.”
"good."
Ye Xinning naturally had nothing to say. After finishing her meal, she went upstairs to change her clothes. When she came downstairs, she saw Mu Mingwei walking in from outside.
Mu Mingwei was still holding her Buddhist prayer beads, and she simply nodded when she saw her come down.
Since they had run into each other, even if Ye Xinning was still annoyed by what happened yesterday, she had to go up and say hello.
Good morning, Auntie.
"Good morning." Mu Mingwei's reaction was calm, and Ye Xinning didn't say anything more. "Shen Lin and I have to go to work. If Auntie has any problems at home, she can talk to Aunt Wen. If Aunt Wen can't solve them, she can call us."
"good."
"Okay, I'll be going now. Goodbye, Auntie."
"goodbye."
Ye Xinning left and sat in the passenger seat next to Gu Shilin, her gaze still fixed on the back of her seat.
"What is Second Sister-in-law looking at?"
"I didn't see anything."
Ye Xinning naturally wouldn't tell Gu Shilin that she was wondering what kind of person Mu Mingwei really was.
Despite these attempts, she still couldn't see through this elder in the slightest.
On the way to the law firm, Ye Xinning chatted with Gu Shilin, saying a few words here and there, "Isn't it too hard for Second Sister-in-law to work while pregnant?"
Ye Xinning smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's not hard work."
"Actually, I think my second sister-in-law doesn't need to work so hard. Who is my second brother? He's a very famous person in Nancheng. He can make the Nancheng business community tremble with just a few simple words. Can't he support my second sister-in-law at home?"
