Shen Lin pushed the photo out of sight with one hand.
With my eyes closed, I felt utterly exhausted and helpless.
Seeing that Shen Lin was in such a bad state, Shen Ting thought for a moment before saying, "Brother, if you really miss your sister-in-law, then go and see her."
"What would you say if you met her? All she wants now is a divorce."
Chi Zhao crossed his arms and said, "The moment she aborted the child in her belly, it showed that she really didn't want to live with you anymore. Now that she's filed for divorce, her determination is very clear."
Shen Lin looked at Chi Zhao with a cold gaze, without saying a word, yet Chi Zhao felt a chill.
Chi Zhao spread his hands innocently, "Don't look at me like that. It's not like I told her to divorce you. I'm just analyzing the situation for you. It seems that divorce is the only option for you two right now."
With each word Chi Zhao spoke, Shen Lin's expression darkened further, even though he knew perfectly well that what Chi Zhao said was true.
Ye Xinning wants a divorce, regardless of whether the child is theirs or not; she remains determined to get a divorce.
"Why is she so determined to get a divorce? Before, she minded that the child was mine and Jiang An's, but now, the child is actually mine and hers, and Jiang An is just a surrogate mother at most. Why are they still so insistent?"
When Chi Zhao heard Shen Lin ask him and Shen Ting, he jokingly said, "Do you really want to know our thoughts? Are they of any use?"
Shen Lin remained silent.
After thinking about it seriously, Chi Zhao said, "In Ye Xinning's heart, it's definitely not just about the child. There are too many obstacles between you. To put it bluntly, so many layers of scheming and conspiracy have exhausted Ye Xinning. She can't think of a way to maintain your marriage, and she doesn't know how to let go of the grudges and live with you as if nothing happened."
"What's the meaning?"
"Perhaps, give each other some time."
Shen Lin finally understood what Chi Zhao meant. "You mean, you want me to agree to a divorce?"
"Yes, agree to the divorce, give Ye Xinning some space, and give yourself some time to think about whether you truly love Ye Xinning or just domineeringly want her to remain your Mrs. Shen forever."
Chi Zhao's suggestion was immediately rejected by Shen Lin.
"Impossible, we can't get a divorce. I regretted signing the divorce papers last time, and I absolutely refuse to sign them this time." Shen Lin was so stubborn that he wouldn't listen to anything anyone said.
Chi Zhao and Shen Ting looked at each other and shook their heads. It is difficult to change a person's personality and thoughts in a short period of time.
...
On the other hand, Ji Jianshen's sudden arrival in Nancheng was something Ye Xinning hadn't expected.
She went to pick up Ji Jianshen, and the two met at the airport.
Ji Jianshen looked at her and said with a smile, "You've gained a little weight."
Ye Xinning smiled and said, "I've gained a little weight. It's probably because Aunt Wen's cooking has been so good lately."
Ji Jianshen reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "It's good to be a little chubby. Being too thin isn't good, and people will worry about it."
Hearing this, Ye Xinning knew very well what Ji Jianshen meant by saying such a thing at such a time. He was such a thoughtful person.
Ye Xinning took a few steps back, creating distance between herself and Ji Jianshen, and said something else, "Let's go."
Where to?
"Since we're here, let's not stay at the hotel, let's stay at the Ye family's place."
"Won't this be a bit of a disturbance?"
Ye Xinning smiled faintly, "We are friends and family, there is no question of disturbing each other."
"good."
Ye Rouxin brought Ji Jianshen back to the Ye family. This wasn't the first time Ye Rouxin had seen Ji Jianshen. Seeing Ye Xinning bring Ji Jianshen back again, Ye Rouxin already understood something.
Looking at Ji Jianshen again, one can't help but judge him by the standards of a future son-in-law, and comparing him with Shen Lin, it seems that this one is also quite outstanding.
That evening, Ye Rouxin went to see Ye Xinning and talked about Ji Jianshen.
"You and this man aren't just ordinary friends, are you?"
“He is indeed quite extraordinary; he has helped me a lot,” Ye Xinning said after thinking for a moment.
"Then you..." Ye Rouxin's eyes lit up when she heard Ye Xinning say that.
Before Ye Rouxin could finish speaking, Ye Xinning said, "It's not what Mom is thinking. We're just friends, and that's all we'll ever be in this life."
Ye Rouxin was disappointed. "Really? Actually, I think it's good that you're with Ji Jianshen after you broke up with Shen Lin. At least Ji Jianshen is gentler and more considerate than Shen Lin."
Ye Xinning lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Mom, sometimes you can't judge people like that. There will be no further development between Ji Jianshen and me. My divorce from Chen Lin is simply because I want a divorce, nothing else. You should go and rest."
Ye Rouxin wanted to say something more, but Ye Xinning already looked exhausted.
Thinking that she must be tired after picking up Ji Jianshen today.
"Then you should get some rest, we'll talk about it another day."
After Ye Rouxin left, Ye Xinning washed up and lay in bed, her phone showing unread messages.
It is sinking.
Ye Xinning's finger hovered over the screen before finally clicking on it.
—Ningning, I brought the child home and told Dad and Aunt Xi about the child. They were very happy to know that the child is from me and you.
—Ningning, the child was not very well-behaved today and cried all day. I don't know if it's because she is not used to being in a strange place.
—Ningning, I miss you.
The last message also included a photo of a child.
Ye Xinning's gaze remained fixed on him for a long time.
When she realized she had been holding the same position for a long time, she put down her phone and rubbed her temples.
So what does Shen Lin mean by this? Is this a tactical shift?
...
The next morning.
Ye Xinning went out early to discuss her divorce case with Xiao Chen. Just as she finished, Ji Jianshen called to ask where she was and if they could have a meal together.
Ye Xinning held the phone, paused briefly, and then agreed, giving Ji Jianshen an address. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say some things to Ji Jianshen outside.
When Ji Jianshen arrived, Ye Xinning was sitting in her seat, staring blankly at the people coming and going outside the window.
Ji Jianshen walked over and sat down opposite Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning chose a Chinese restaurant with an elegant decor, and the sound of a guzheng could be heard from time to time.
"Have we been waiting for a long time?"
"fine."
"Hmm, have you ordered?"
"I ordered, but I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just ordered some random things."
"Anything you order is fine."
Ye Xinning's gaze was calm, and her smile was neither deep nor shallow. "The food should be served in a while. Let's chat for a bit first."
Ji Jianshen paused in his pouring of water, then looked up at her gently, "Okay, Xinning, what would you like to talk about?"
