Ji Jianshen's words stirred up waves in Shen Lin's heart.
His deep eyes stared at Ji Jianshen, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke, his tone extremely domineering.
"Mr. Ji, you're joking. She is my wife, Chen Lin. Ji Jianshen said he'd come to pick her up. I'd like to ask, in what capacity will he come to pick her up?"
"If Mr. Shen feels that I am not qualified to pick you up, you might as well ask Xin Ning's opinion. Someone like Mr. Shen should not stop Xin Ning from leaving if she wants to."
This is Ji Jianshen's way of speaking; he always manages to shut things down right from the start.
Since Shen Lin wouldn't release him at this point, Ji Jianshen naturally had a lot to say.
The two locked eyes, neither backing down. Ji Jianshen was in no hurry and simply waited.
Su Wan spoke up at this moment, "Ji Jianshen, why are you wasting your breath on him? Look at how Ningning has been tormented by him. He even had a child with another woman. And he still wants our Ningning to stay by his side? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
As Su Wan spoke, she helped Ye Xinning put on her coat. Ye Xinning got off the bed, her foot injury not fully healed, and Su Wan supported her from the side.
When Shen Lin saw that she wanted to go with them, he grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her take a step.
Ye Xinning lowered her head and looked at her wrist, which was being held by Shen Lin. She had once thought that she and the person in front of her could go all the way together, but the things that happened later made her realize that she had never seen through Shen Lin.
"Let go, Shen Lin."
Her voice was low, and at this point, her attitude had calmed down. There was no longer the hoarse shouting or resentment she used to have.
Shen Lin looked at her with complicated eyes, and didn't say a word for a long time.
How could Ye Xinning not know what he was thinking at that moment?
However, she did not choose to say much. Instead, she lowered her head and used her other hand to slowly pry open Chen Lin's hand, removing it finger by finger.
"Let's go." Su Wan said, helping her walk outside.
Shen Lin stood frozen in place, watching the person leave, his expression filled with sorrow and pain.
He watched as the person disappeared from his sight, his heart filled with regret and helplessness.
When Shen Nanxing came to the ward, she only saw Shen Lin standing there, and Ye Xinning was no longer on the bed.
"Brother, where is my sister-in-law?"
"Su Wan and Ji Jianshen came and picked her up." Shen Lin took a long time to say this.
Shen Nanxing asked in surprise, "They said they'd pick them up, and you really let them take the person away?"
This doesn't seem like something Shen Lin would do.
"Otherwise what?" Shen Lin said in a low, bitter voice, "Even if I don't let her leave, she won't be happy by my side."
Not only that, but the thought of her putting herself in such a dangerous situation just to leave him and the Ming Mansion made his heart ache so much he felt like he could suffocate.
"But brother, have you ever thought that once sister-in-law leaves, there may never be a chance for you two again?"
"As long as she's still in Nancheng, we have a chance." Shen Lin's gaze was fixed on the distance, his expression resolute.
"She's carrying my child, and I'll do everything I can to make her forgive me."
Looking at Shen Lin like this, Shen Nanxing moved her lips several times, but in the end she could only sigh.
"I hope everything goes as smoothly as my brother wishes."
...
Ye Xinning, Su Wanji, and Jian Shen left the hospital.
Inside the car, Ye Xinning's gaze remained fixed on the scenery outside the window, her eyes filled with melancholy.
Su Wan felt incredibly sorry for her when she saw her like this.
"It's all over now," she said, putting her arm around Ye Xinning's shoulder.
Ye Xinning snapped out of her daze and gave her a faint smile, "It's nothing."
Su Wan knew that no matter how much she said, it would be like scratching an itch through a boot for Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning had to overcome all this sadness and despair on her own.
The car was parked in front of the Ye family's house.
Su Wan helped Ye Xinning out of the car. Ji Jianshen saw that she was having difficulty walking, but in the end he still came over.
"I'll hug you."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Xinning's reaction, he picked her up and carried her horizontally.
Ye Xinning subconsciously put her arms around Ji Jianshen's neck, but she still felt a little awkward. "No need, I can walk by myself."
Ji Jianshen lowered his head. "What's wrong? You look nervous."
"No." Ye Xinning avoided eye contact.
Ji Jianshen said in a low voice, "Don't worry, you said we're family, I know that."
"..."
With Ji Jianshen being so open and honest, any further comments from Ye Xinning would only make her seem overly deliberate.
The three of them went inside together, and as soon as they entered the living room, they saw Ye Rouxin pacing anxiously at the door.
Upon seeing them appear, Ye Rouxin immediately came over to greet them, "Ningning."
Ji Jianshen put the person down and nodded politely to Ye Rouxin.
"Ningning, how are you? Let Mom see if you're hurt anywhere."
"No." Ye Xinning shook her head.
"Shen Lin isn't loving you at all; he's just using the name of love to hurt you. Look how thin you've become."
As Ye Rouxin spoke, her eyes reddened.
Only a mother knows how heartbreaking it is to see her child in such a state.
Ye Xinning comforted her, saying, "Mom, I'm really fine. The fire didn't hurt me. I'll just need to rest for a few days."
Ye Rouxin still felt lingering fear when she mentioned that fire.
"You really scared me to death. Even if you want freedom, you can't take such a big risk. What if Shen Lin doesn't compromise? What if something really happens to you? What will your mother do alone?"
Perhaps this touched a nerve with Ye Rouxin, because her voice choked up.
"Mom has been losing everything her whole life, and she can't bear any more accidents."
Ye Xinning sighed and hugged her mother.
"Okay, Mom, I'm doing just fine in front of you now, so let's not think about those bad things."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Ye Rouxin composed herself.
"Aunt Ye, let Ningning rest first. Her legs can't stand for long."
"good."
Ye Rouxin helped Ye Xinning to sit down on the sofa. Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Ye Rouxin was much more talkative and kept talking to Ye Xinning.
"What's the current situation with you and Shen Lin?"
“I am now free, we will get a divorce soon, and after that, I will have nothing to do with him anymore.”
What about the baby in her belly?
Ye Rouxin wanted to ask Ye Xinning, but when the words reached her lips, she felt she was being too hasty.
So she changed the subject, "By the way, who is this?"
Ye Rouxin's gaze fell on Ji Jianshen.
