Ye Xinning shook her head. "No, I just wanted to tell you that my relationship with Shen Lin has been filled with pain and despair since we first met. I've been through so much, and I have no desire to start a new relationship. So, Cheng Yuhuai, don't like me. You won't see any future with this kind of liking."
Cheng Yuhuai stared into her eyes, while Ye Xinning looked into the distance, her gaze resolute, showing no sign of what she had been through.
After a long period of being stared at, Cheng Yuhuai finally spoke.
"Some things, how will you know if there will be a result if you don't try?"
Ye Xinning had already said everything she needed to say, but Cheng Yuhuai remained the same, and she really had no way to deal with him.
Since all his efforts to persuade her had been in vain, Ye Xinning stopped talking.
But she began to wonder if she should keep her distance and started thinking about leaving Huanan Law Firm.
Cheng Yuhuai had almost finished his work, but he still had things to do in Jiangcheng, so he returned to Jiangcheng after dinner that evening.
Before leaving, he looked at Ye Xinning with a faint smile, "Xinning, I'll wait for you to come back to Jiangcheng."
Ye Xinning's gaze was complicated, and she didn't know how to reply to him for a moment.
After seeing Cheng Yuhuai off, Ye Xinning prepared to go to the Shen family to pick up Ye Zhimu.
She had just gotten into the car when her phone rang in her pocket. She answered the call, and a deep, attentive voice came from the other end.
"Sister-in-law."
It is a deep listening.
Ye Xinning was surprised that Chen Ting knew her phone number, but thinking about it, it didn't seem strange.
She's back in Nancheng now, so it won't be easy for these people to find out her phone number.
She opened her mouth and reminded him, "Shen Ting, I'm divorced from your older brother, you don't need to call me that."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, Shen Ting still addressed her in the same way, "Sister-in-law, I've said this before. It's troublesome to keep changing how you address someone. I'm used to calling you this. Just treat 'Sister-in-law' as a normal title."
Ye Xinning, "..."
How incredibly carefree must one be to treat it as just an ordinary title?
Ye Xinning was troubled, yet she could do nothing about Shen Ting.
"Did you call me because you have something important to tell me?"
"We're at a bar. Xiangsi's come to Nancheng. Sister-in-law, if you don't have anything to do, come and sit for a while."
Longing?
Su Xiangsi came to Nancheng? So, Shen Ting and Su Xiangsi are together?
"It's so late, and I still need to pick up Mumu, so I won't go."
"Xiang wants to see his sister-in-law. He said it's been a long time since they last met. As for Mu Mu, his sister-in-law will come with us to pick her up later."
Having said all that, it wouldn't be appropriate for Ye Xinning to refuse again.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Ye Xinning called Su Wan on his way to the bar.
They asked about Shen Ting and Su Xiangsi.
Su Wan simply said, "I don't concern myself with matters of the heart. Whether she chooses to be with Chen Ting or someone else, as long as she's happy."
So, have you let go of the past?
Su Wan's voice came from the phone, lazy and somewhat nonchalant.
"Actually, I've already let go. It's just that Xiangsi thought I couldn't let go. I'm her sister, and I want her to be happy more than anyone else."
Ye Xinning knew what Su Wan was thinking.
Before hanging up the phone, Su Wan said, "Ningning, whether it's you or Xiangsi, I hope you'll both be happy. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ye Xinning held the phone and gave a slight smile. "I understand."
...
The car stopped in front of the bar. Ye Xinning opened the car door and got out. She had only taken a few steps when she heard a sound behind her.
"Hello, Mr. Shen." Hearing the voice, Ye Xinning turned around and was slightly taken aback when she saw that the person standing behind her was Shen Lin.
Shen Lin quickly arrived at her side. He probably didn't expect her to come. His gaze lingered on her for a long time.
Ye Xinning was the first to come to her senses. She turned around and stepped inside.
The footsteps behind her grew closer, and soon Shen Lin stood beside her.
"I thought you were still with that guy surnamed Cheng."
The surname Cheng...
Ye Xinning frowned. "His name is Cheng Yuhuai. He has a name. If you don't want to use his name, then don't mention him."
Otherwise it would seem very impolite.
"His name has nothing to do with me. Besides, are you upset because I don't call him by his name?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Forget it, she won't get angry at someone she can't reason with!
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin arrived at the private room one after the other.
The private room was quite lively, with Shen Nanxing and Zhou Jiamu, Shen Ting and Su Xiangsi, and oh right, Chi Zhao sitting in the corner with his eyes fixed on Shen Nanxing and Zhou Jiamu.
"Big brother and sister-in-law are here."
Chi Zhao spoke first, greeting everyone warmly.
Ye Xinning took a few steps forward and stood opposite Su Xiangsi.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Su Xiangsi smiled and said, "Sister Xinning, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see. When did you come to Nancheng? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just arrived last night. I was going to contact you, but I was worried you might be busy. My sister told me you came back because Aunt Ye was sick. Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, I'm already resting at home."
After exchanging a few words, Ye Xinning sat down in the empty seat next to Su Xiangsi. But as soon as she sat down, Shen Lin also stepped to sit next to her.
The two were very close, and Shen Lin's undeniable aura, along with his familiar scent, made Ye Xinning feel somewhat uneasy.
However, the others clearly did not notice any problems.
Shen Nanxing raised his wine glass and said to her with a smile, "Sister Xinning, this is the first time we've gathered here since you came back. Let's have a drink."
Ye Xinning also raised her glass and said, "Mmm."
But the wine glass in her hand was snatched away in an instant.
Don't drink it.
Who else could it be but Shen Lin?
Ye Xinning frowned and tried to take the wine glass back from Shen Lin's hand.
"Seriously, big brother? You're not going to drink with us, and you're not letting Sister Xinning drink with us either? Then next time we don't need to come to the bar, we can just find a teahouse to sit and chat." Shen Nanxing's teasing words rang in my ears.
Ye Xinning noticed that Shen Nanxing said that Shen Lin wouldn't drink with them.
Wasn't Shen Lin the one who could drink the most at parties before?
Ye Xinning had some doubts in her mind and hadn't figured them out yet when the man beside her spoke, his voice deep.
"She's going to pick up Mumu later."
"What does it matter? I have you here."
Without thinking too much, Ye Xinning took the wine glass from Shen Lin's hand, raised it to Shen Nanxing, and took a small sip.
It was just a little drink; it wasn't as exaggerated as Shen Lin thought. Besides, she could make her own decisions.
The group chatted and drank in the bar. Ye Xinning once again felt the ease of friends getting together. She also noticed that Shen Lin didn't touch a drop of alcohol the whole time.
