"I hope you don't see him."
"Will you be happier if I promise you I won't see him?"
"No, because I know that would make you unhappy."
Ye Xinning sighed, "Chen Lin, you know everything, so why are you still angry?"
“I can’t control myself. I can’t stay calm just thinking about his love for you.”
Ye Xinning looked at him seriously, "So you doubt my love for you?"
Shen Lin remained silent.
Ye Xinning continued, "If you doubt my love, then perhaps I need to reflect on this. I haven't given you enough security. So, Shen Lin, I solemnly tell you again here, Ye Xinning, from the past to the present, the only person I have ever loved is you."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she could clearly sense the change in Shen Lin's emotions. "Really?"
"If I had intended to lie to you, I would have said much more than just these words."
Shen Lin lowered his head to kiss her lips. His kiss was magical, both gentle and domineering, gradually making her fall into its spell.
After the kiss ended, Ye Xinning leaned against Shen Lin's chest, both of them breathing a little erratically. "There are still nine months to go," she said. "Just thinking about it makes me feel like I can't get through it."
Ye Xinning blushed slightly because of Shen Lin's words.
Shen Lin laughed even more openly. Ye Xinning was thinking about how someone could be so shameless when she heard Shen Lin call her.
Your phone is ringing.
She reminded Shen Lin, and Shen Lin answered the phone only after calming down.
The call was from Shen Yu, who said that the old lady of the Shen family had returned and wanted to see Shen Lin. She asked if Shen Lin had time to take Ye Xinning back to the old house.
Shen Lin responded and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning looked up at him and asked, "Are you going to the Shen family?"
"Yes, Grandma is back, I have to go see her."
"I'll go with you," Ye Xinning said.
Shen Lin held her hand, "No need, I can go by myself."
Ye Xinning was stunned, not understanding what Shen Lin meant by those words.
Shen Lin pressed his forehead against hers, his voice low, "I know you don't want to see Grandma. You're pregnant, and if I can't consider your feelings at this time, then I'd be being a bit too selfish."
Ye Xinning was touched, "Actually, I could have gone. At worst, I could have just ignored whatever she said."
"If you can do all this for me, why can't I do something for you? Anyway, you stay home and rest well, and wait for me to come back."
Shen Lin has made his decision.
"good."
...
When Shen Lin returned to the Shen family home, he had just stood at the door when he heard a series of noisy noises coming from inside.
Shen Lin frowned and walked inside. The further he went, the louder the argument became.
"Do you think you're some kind of clean person? If you didn't have some tricks up your sleeve, do you think my son Chen Yu would even look at you?"
"Yes, I do have my methods, and I have indeed become Shen Yu's wife. Now I am the mistress of the Shen family, so if Mom wants to interfere, shouldn't she first see if I'm willing?"
"Xi Yuan, you..."
"What do you mean, 'I'? Since Mom's words show no respect whatsoever, I don't need to think too much about it anymore. Mom, I'll tell you straight: Ningning is someone I'll protect. If I can't protect her, there's always Shen Lin. In any case, in our family, she's the only one we truly respect."
Shen Lin had already entered the living room by then. He had heard all of their argument, and because he had, there was no smile on his face at that moment.
"So, as soon as Grandma came back, she launched into a tirade against my wife?"
Shen Lin's words drew the old lady's attention to him. Leaning on her cane, she came to Shen Lin and said with tears in her eyes, "My dear grandson, you're finally back. Grandma missed you so much. Let Grandma see if you've lost weight."
Shen Lin looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, it's been a long time. I thought you would try to see things from my perspective, but I didn't expect that what you said would still hurt me so much."
The old woman's gaze was complicated. "How could you be so bewitched by that woman? Let me tell you, that woman is not at all virtuous. I saw her hugging another man during the day."
Shen Lin noticed the key point in the old lady's words, "How could Grandma be there?"
"I was originally going to look for you, but that woman was there, so I didn't show up." The old lady said this with a hint of guilt.
Shen Lin squinted, knowing that what the old lady saw was Ye Xinning holding Ji Jianshen.
“The person standing with Ningning is Ningning’s friend. They are not related. Grandma has misunderstood.”
"That man's eyes are only on her, and you're telling me they're friends? Do you think I'd believe that?"
"Whether Grandma believes it or not is Grandma's business, but I hope that Grandma will not say hurtful things, especially not to Ningning."
The old lady was furious, not expecting Shen Lin to protect Ye Xinning so much.
"I bet you won't even know when you'll become someone's sugar daddy."
Shen Lin came back only because the old woman in front of him was his grandmother, but now, hearing these harsh words, Shen Lin didn't want to stay a minute longer.
"Now that Grandma is back, it's best for her to stay home and rest, and not do anything rash. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you abroad again."
After saying this, Shen Lin nodded to Shen Yu and Xi Yuan.
"Ningning is pregnant, and I'm worried about her, so I'll leave first. I'll leave the rest to Dad and Aunt Xi."
"Go ahead, go ahead, you didn't actually have to come," Xi Yuan quickly said.
As Shen Lin left, the old lady of the Shen family was so angry that her expression was distorted.
"It's all in chaos, all in chaos."
...
Ye Xinning received another text message, just after she arrived at the law firm.
—You must be having trouble sleeping while pregnant, but you should be thankful that you have someone by your side. Unfortunately, I think this time will soon be over.
Ye Xinning had just sat down in her office chair and turned on her phone when she saw this text message.
She looked at the text message, but neither replied nor made a phone call.
After several such attempts, she knew long ago that it was all in vain.
She rubbed her temples with one hand, trying to ease the discomfort caused by the text message.
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the office. Ye Xinning looked up and saw Mu Chaochao standing at the door.
"Come in."
Mu Chaochao pushed open the door and came in, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb Attorney Ye."
"Is there something you need from Attorney Mu?"
