Ye Xinning naturally knew what kind of identity Shen Lin had.
"Whether I work or not has little to do with whether he is a big shot in the business world of Nancheng. I choose to work because I like it. I really enjoy the feeling of being immersed in my work. Besides, it's just pregnancy. I've seen so many people go to work while pregnant. It's okay."
"Sigh, if I were the second sister-in-law, I would just stay at home and do nothing. Since I have such a great husband, I should just lie down and relax."
Ye Xinning lowered her head and smiled silently, "Perhaps everyone has different choices."
...
Gu Shilin escorted Ye Xinning to the door. "Second Sister-in-law, we've arrived. How about I come pick you up this afternoon?"
"You don't need to make another trip this afternoon. My sister Ye Xiaoxiao works here too, she can take me."
"We'll see this afternoon. If you need anything, just give me a call."
"Okay, then I'll call you when I need you to pick me up."
After Gu Shilin left, Ye Xinning turned and went to the law firm.
It was another busy afternoon. Although it was busy, Ye Xinning mostly just gave Ye Xiaoxiao some necessary guidance. Ye Xiaoxiao handled most of the case procedures.
However, it is worth mentioning that Mu Chaochao came to her office in the afternoon.
They sent over some beautifully packaged small cakes, saying it was to thank her for lending them her utility knife to open the package the other day.
"Attorney Mu, you're too kind. It was just a small favor," Ye Xinning politely declined.
But Mu Chaochao still said warmly, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Attorney Ye, you don't need to be so polite. We'll be colleagues from now on, and there are so many things we can do together."
Hearing this, Ye Xinning didn't refuse any further, "Then thank you."
"You're welcome. I heard from Director Xiao that Attorney Ye is pregnant?"
Ye Xinning didn't expect Mu Chaochao to ask about this, and she was even more surprised that Xiao Chen was so talkative that he would spread the news of her pregnancy so quickly.
"Yes," she had no choice but to admit it.
"Then Attorney Ye, you'd better be careful. If you need anything at work, just let us know. You must be careful in all aspects during this special period."
Ye Xinning nodded and thanked Mu Chaochao.
"Then I won't bother Attorney Ye any longer."
"Okay, Attorney Mu, go ahead and do your work. Let's have dinner together another time."
"good."
After Mu Chaochao left, Ye Xiaoxiao said with a half-smile, "What did I miss? When did you become so familiar with Lawyer Mu?"
"It's nothing. She just came here to borrow a utility knife to open a package when you weren't here that day."
"That's all?"
"Otherwise, what else do you think there is?"
"I thought that such a polite gift must mean that she had done something big, but I didn't expect it to be such a small thing. For someone to give a gift for something like this, Attorney Mu really knows how to treat people."
Ye Xinning wasn't stupid; how could she not understand the deeper meaning behind Ye Xiaoxiao's words?
"Don't overthink it. We're all colleagues. Maybe this is just how they conduct themselves."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said nothing more.
...
When I was leaving get off work in the evening, Shen Lin called to say that he had encountered a tricky situation at work and might get home a little late.
Ye Xinning went back with Ye Xiaoxiao.
Because of a minor accident that happened when she went home with Ye Xinning last time, Ye Xiaoxiao drove very carefully this time.
The car stopped in front of Ming Mansion. Ye Xiaoxiao had other things to do and left. Ye Xinning watched her leave before going inside.
She walked into the living room, where there was hardly anyone. Gu Shilin wasn't there, nor was Mu Mingwei.
When Aunt Wen saw her return, she came forward and took the bag or something from her hands.
"Miss, are you hungry? The food in the kitchen will be ready soon."
"Um."
Ye Xinning glanced upstairs and asked, "Where's Auntie?"
"Madam Gu is resting upstairs."
"Rest? Have we been resting ever since we left?"
"No, Madam Gu went out during the day."
You went out once?
This surprised Ye Xinning somewhat.
Did your aunt say what she was going out to do?
"No, Madam Gu didn't tell anyone when she went out; she called a car herself."
Ye Xinning nodded, indicating that he understood.
Mu Mingwei would go out alone, without anyone accompanying her. Ye Xinning wondered, when was she going out?
...
When Shen Lin returned home that evening, Ye Xinning was still in the study working on a tricky case. After searching around, Shen Lin finally found her in the study.
Seeing how seriously she was working, he walked over and pulled her and the chair into his arms from behind.
"Why is there so much work to do?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning turned around and looked at the man behind her. "Shouldn't I be the one saying this, Mr. Shen, who has only just returned from being so busy?"
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen, are you unhappy because I'm too busy with work to spend time with you?"
"Am I such an immature person?" Ye Xinning had known about Shen Lin's busy schedule for a long time. Outsiders only knew Shen Lin's glamorous life, that he was the president of Shen's Group and that he was very wealthy, but they did not know that he was in a high position and also bore a lot of pressure.
Shen Lin pulled her up from her seat, sat down himself, and let her sit on his lap.
Sometimes I wish you weren't so sensible.
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin with a puzzled expression.
"If you were a bit harsher and less considerate, I could say that I have a wife at home and I don't dare to come home late."
Ye Xinning was amused by Shen Lin's words, "If people say that, won't they think I'm an unreasonable person?"
“With me, you can be unreasonable.”
Ye Xinning nestled in his arms, "No way."
Shen Lin's indulgent laughter came from above. After the two chatted for a while, Ye Xinning suddenly remembered what Aunt Wen had said before.
“Sinking down.”
"Um."
"Does your aunt have any close friends in the south of the city?"
Shen Lin looked at her seriously, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Ye Xinning couldn't figure out why Mu Mingwei didn't tell Shen Lin about this, so she didn't say it directly, "It's nothing, I was just asking."
“My aunt rarely comes to Nancheng. She came more often when I was little and my mother was still alive. After my mother passed away, she came even less often. She usually only comes on the anniversary of my mother's death, and sometimes she doesn't even come on the anniversary. If you ask me if she has any close friends here, I really don't know.”
After listening, Ye Xinning nodded and did not ask any further questions.
So, what was the purpose of Mu Mingwei's departure?
Seeing that Ye Xinning was keeping her head down and not speaking, Shen Lin was about to speak when Ye Xinning's phone rang.
