Ye Xinning's expression was cold and stern. She held her phone for a long time before replying to a message.
—You text me but hide in the shadows and don't answer my calls. What kind of skill is that? I can tell from your words that you hate me. If that's the case, answer my call and let me hear what deep-seated hatred we have for each other.
The message was sent, but there was no response for a long time.
Ye Xinning looked up at the roof of the car, trying to calm herself down.
She knew that this text message had once again gone unanswered. The other person had a conflicted mindset, wanting to send her messages but also being able to remain indifferent to everything she said.
She mentally checked each one one by one.
Jiang An? If it's possible that Jiang An sent these messages out of resentment because she remarried Shen Lin and had a child, then it's possible.
Aside from Jiang An, there were Song Xiang and Qin Yu from France.
However, when they met last time, Song Xiang and Qin Yu were the kind of people who acted openly. If they really wanted to do something, they would definitely not simply send her some random text messages.
After thinking about it this way, Ye Xinning was even more convinced that the person who sent her these text messages was Jiang An. Apart from Jiang An, she couldn't think of anyone else who would be so bored as to send these text messages to make her feel uneasy.
Speaking of Jiang An, Ye Xinning thought that it had been a long time since their last meeting.
The last time she saw him was when she broke the bracelet. After that incident, she made up her mind to divorce Shen Lin and never saw Jiang An again.
So, where did this woman get the confidence to jump in front of her again?
Ye Xinning's gaze turned cold.
...
After Mu Mingwei came out of the cemetery, Ye Xinning finally collected his thoughts and got out of the car.
"Mom." Gu Shilin helped Mu Mingwei up. Mu Mingwei's eyes were very red, as if she had been crying.
"Auntie."
Mu Mingwei responded calmly, "Chen Lin, Shi Lin and I are going back to France. You'll be in Nancheng, and you'll have to rely on yourself for everything. Your aunt is getting old and can't help you much."
"Auntie, you're being too serious. I don't need you to worry about me all the time anymore."
"Hmm." Mu Mingwei nodded. "I know you are capable, but I also hope that you won't open your heart to anyone. There are many treacherous people in this world."
"Okay, Auntie."
Mu Mingwei raised her hand and patted Shen Lin's arm. "Take care of yourself. We're leaving."
Mu Mingwei and Gu Shilin left in a car. Ye Xinning was looking down, thinking about the text message she had just received, when Shen Lin took her hand. Only then did she pull herself out of her thoughts.
"Let's go too," Shen Lin's deep voice sounded in my ear.
Ye Xinning nodded, and after the two got into the car, the car left the cemetery.
...
Back at Ming Mansion, Shen Lin had work to do, so he changed his clothes and went to the company. Ye Xinning didn't go to the law firm, but instead went to see Aunt Wen.
In the study on the second floor.
"Did you call me up here for something, Miss?"
"Aunt Wen, can you help me find out where Jiang An is now?"
Aunt Wen found it strange, "Why did Miss suddenly decide to investigate this person?"
"After doing the math, if the baby in her belly is still there, then her due date is just around the corner, so we should keep an eye on her."
"If Miss really cared about the child in Jiang An's belly, she probably wouldn't have waited until now to bring this up."
Aunt Wen immediately saw through Ye Xinning's words as just an excuse.
Ye Xinning had no choice but to admit, "Not long ago, I started receiving text messages from an unknown number. The messages weren't very friendly. I ruled them out and thought it was most likely Jiang An, so I wanted to check where he was now."
"Has Miss told Mr. Shen about such a big matter?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "No, I thought I'd check it out first. Telling him now wouldn't do any good; it would just make him worry."
"But I always feel that it would be better to tell the gentleman."
Ye Xinning thought about it and decided to let it go. "It's just some text messages, so I'll leave it for now. If I really suffer any real harm, then of course I'll tell him."
"Alright." Aunt Wen knew that once she made a decision, it wouldn't be easy to change it, so she didn't say anything more.
...
After becoming pregnant, Ye Xinning's need for sleep increased. Shen Lin was still busy, but no matter how busy he was, he would spend weekends at home with her, either talking to her or going to the screening room with her to watch a movie. In Shen Lin's words, this was called prenatal education.
For example, right now, Ye Xinning is sitting in the study, and Shen Lin insists on playing some very gentle and soothing music for her. She doesn't know what effect this music has. She is only one month pregnant, but Shen Lin is convinced that it will be useful.
“Prenatal education is very important.” Shen Lin put his arm around her waist and played with her hand.
Ye Xinning was still looking at a case when she heard this. She looked up and said with a hint of helplessness, "Mr. Shen, don't you have a job?"
"No."
"But I have it."
"You handle your work, don't worry about me."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Is this something a human being would say?
"Mr. Shen, do you think I can concentrate on my work if you keep bothering me like this?"
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, Chen Lin spoke again, his tone seemingly tinged with pleasure, "Ningning, are you telling me that I can't feel at ease with you around, that you're completely preoccupied with me, isn't that right?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
She refused to answer the question.
When did this person develop the habit of asking questions they already know the answer to?
Shen Lin only said these things to tease her.
"Are you busy tonight?"
"What's wrong?"
There's a party tonight.
What type of party?
"It's a commercial event, hosted by the Chi family, specifically by Chi Zhao's eldest brother. They invited me, and given my relationship with Chi Zhao, it was hard to refuse."
Since Ye Xinning became pregnant, Shen Lin has basically stopped attending parties and similar events, except for work-related matters.
"sure."
Ye Xinning agreed without thinking too much about it.
As Shen Lin said, it was indeed difficult to refuse the request from the Chi family because of Chi Zhao's involvement. She was also feeling a bit bored staying at home, so going out for some fresh air would be a good idea.
...
Later in the evening, Shen Lin took Ye Xinning to the party.
Because of her pregnancy, Ye Xinning wore flat shoes and chose the most comfortable dress. Her light blue dress made her look even more elegant and charming.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Shen Nanxing walking gracefully towards them.
Shen Nanxing wore a lotus-root-colored evening gown and had exquisite makeup on her face. She looked so beautiful.
"Brother and sister-in-law, why are you only arriving now?"
