Shen Lin took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her.
Even without saying a word, Ye Xinning could tell that he was urging her.
...
Inside the car.
Ye Xinning and Ye Zhimu sat in the back seat, while Shen Lin drove himself.
During this time, Ye Zhimu kept talking non-stop, while Ye Xinning responded lazily. It was unclear what was going on, even though she clearly didn't intend to disturb Shen Lin and was going to the Shen family alone.
She rubbed her temples, thinking that it must have been the Shen family who notified Shen Lin, since this was Ye Zhimu's first time visiting the Shen family.
Shen Lin is the father; he should be present no matter what.
The car drove on and finally stopped in front of the Shen family's house.
Shen Yu and Xi Yuan were already waiting at the door, along with Mo Jing, who was being led by a servant.
Silent Jing was dressed very formally today, in a little suit and tie. The noble and refined demeanor of a young master from a wealthy family was evident in him at such a young age.
He became even more nervous as he watched his mother get out of the car and his younger sister, who was wearing a princess dress and had her hair in a bun, beside her.
After getting off the bus, Ye Xinning immediately greeted the two elders.
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Xi."
Xi Yuan held Ye Xinning's hand, her emotions running high. "Oh, Ningning, you've become even more beautiful in four years."
"Aunt Xi too."
“Ningning, welcome back to Nancheng,” Shen Yu said.
Ye Xinning bowed slightly to Shen Yu, "Uncle Shen, how have you been these past four years?"
“Okay.” Shen Yu’s gaze was somewhat complicated. Four years ago and four years later were different. Four years ago, Ye Xinning still called him Dad.
After greeting everyone, Ye Xinning then introduced himself.
"Mumu, these are Grandpa and Grandma."
"Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma."
The two elders took an instant liking to Ye Zhimu.
"Oh, hello, hello, you're Mu Mu, right? You're so adorable," Xi Yuan praised sincerely.
After the two elders spoke a few more words to Ye Zhimu, Ye Xinning turned her gaze to the silent Jing to the side.
Looking at Mo Jing, Ye Xinning felt a little nervous. Under this tension, she loosened her grip and slowly spoke, her voice very soft, "Mo Jing, hello, we've met before, do you remember me?"
The silent tourist nodded; of course he remembered.
"Hello, I brought you a gift. Take a look, do you like it?"
Ye Xinning took out a gift, which was an architectural model. Over the past four years, she had often received photos and videos in which Chen Mojing was studying architectural models. After asking Xi Yuan, she confirmed that this was a gift that Chen Mojing liked.
"Thank you," Silent Jing said politely, but didn't say anything else.
Ye Xinning knew that this was their first formal meeting, and she couldn't ask for too much.
"You're welcome." She cautiously reached out her hand, and only touched his hair when she saw that he didn't object.
"Mumu, this is your brother. Come here and call him brother."
Ye Zhimu obediently called out "Brother," "Brother."
Hello, little sister.
Ye Zhimu didn't speak, and Ye Xinning looked down and saw her staring intently at the silent scene.
"Mu Mu!" she exclaimed, afraid that Ye Zhimu would frighten Chen Mojing.
"Mom, my brother is so handsome!" Ye Zhimu said with a smile.
Ye Xinning, "..."
This remark made everyone present laugh.
"I didn't realize our little Mu Mu was such a sucker for good looks," Xi Yuan said with a smile.
Ye Xinning rubbed his forehead.
But it was indeed because Ye Zhimu said those words that the atmosphere became less oppressive.
This large-scale family reunion ended with Shen Yu saying, "Everyone, please go inside and talk."
Everyone went into the living room together, and on the sofa, Ye Zhimu kept Xi Yuanchenyu company.
Ye Xinning sat next to Shen Mojing. Compared to Ye Zhimu's liveliness, Shen Mojing was really too quiet.
Ye Xinning tried to say something to him, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know what to say.
In the end, we had no choice but to give up.
Ye Xinning stayed at the Shen family's house all morning. After lunch, she received a call from Qin Yuchu.
The materials for the case she was assigned to handle have been compiled, and she needs to review them as soon as possible. If there are no problems, she will meet with the client as soon as possible.
Ye Xinning knew this matter couldn't be delayed, so after hanging up the phone, she told Shen Yuxi that she wanted to leave.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
Ye Xinning was very embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Aunt Xi, Uncle Shen, I'll come over next time regarding work-related matters."
"I was hoping you could eat here," Xi Yuan said reluctantly.
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Yu, who also seemed to want them to stay.
Ye Xinning hesitated for a moment, then finally decided, "Mumu, why don't you stay? Grandpa and Grandma will find someone to bring you back tonight, okay?"
“Okay.” Ye Zhimu had already become very familiar with the place by the end of the morning, so staying to spend the afternoon with her grandparents was no problem for her.
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Xi, let Mu Mu stay here. I'll go back first."
"Okay, okay, okay," Shen Yu replied repeatedly.
Ye Xinning stood up, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Mo Jing reached out and tugged at her hem.
Are you leaving?
Ye Xinning squatted down and held Chen Mojing's small hand, "I'll come see you again next time."
When is the next time?
"How about this weekend?"
Today is Wednesday. She has finished her work and met with her clients these past few days, and she should be able to come to the Shen family's house by the weekend.
"Okay." Hearing this answer, Mo Jing finally let go of his hand.
Ye Xinning left the Shen family, and Shen Lin followed her out. She took one step, and he took one step.
Finally, Ye Xinning could no longer bear it and stopped. She turned around, tightened her clothes in the cold wind, and spoke in a harsh tone.
"Mr. Shen."
"Um?"
Shen Lin's attitude was indifferent, as if she was the only one who was furious and the only one who was in the wrong.
Ye Xinning felt a headache coming on. "Why are you following me?"
"I'll take you back."
She knew it.
Ye Zhimu was here when I arrived. After all, he is Ye Zhimu's father. She was being too obvious and it would be inconvenient for the child.
But now that Ye Zhimu wasn't around, she didn't want him to take her. "No need, I'll take a taxi myself."
When have you ever seen a place around here where you can hail a taxi?
"Wait a little longer, it will come eventually."
Shen Lin stared at her for a long time before speaking, "I want to talk to you about Mo Jing."
"What?" Ye Xinning quickly asked back when the silence was mentioned.
Shen Lin walked towards the car before her, saying, "Let's talk in the car."
Ye Xinning, "..."
She went over, stood in the back seat, and reached out to pull the car door, but nothing happened.
The car window rolled down, and Shen Lin's face appeared before them. "I don't have the habit of driving for others. Sit in the front."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Okay, for the sake of the silent Jing, she will endure it.
