Has he really given up drinking?
Ye Xinning thought to himself, "This is indeed surprising."
Because she still had to pick up Ye Zhimu, Ye Xinning didn't want to stay too late. The others also knew that she missed Ye Zhimu, so they dispersed around that point.
When they walked out together, Ye Xinning walked with Su Xiangsi and Shen Nanxing.
"How long will Xiangsi stay this time?"
Ye Xinning rubbed his temples as he asked Su Xiangsi.
Su Xiangsi glanced behind her, and without a doubt, Ye Xinning knew she was looking at Shen Ting.
"So, are you two really together?" Ye Xinning asked with a smile.
Su Xiangsi responded softly, "Sister Xinning, he has never let go of me in the past few years, and neither have I. I tried to let go of him, but in the end I still couldn't do it. After so much back and forth, I don't want to waste any more time. Since I can't let go, I'll take a gamble with myself."
Ye Xinning was somewhat surprised that these words would come from Su Xiangsi's mouth. In her mind, Su Xiangsi had always been a gentle and mild-mannered person, and these words were spoken with great determination.
"You and Shen Ting both made firm choices for each other, which is great. I believe you will be happy." Ye Xinning gently patted Su Xiangsi's hand and said reassuringly.
Su Xiangsi said thank you.
At this moment, Shen Nanxing pulled Ye Xinning aside and said, "Sister Xinning, I have something I want to tell you."
Ye Xinning looked at her and said, "What do you want to say? Go ahead."
Like Su Xiangsi, Shen Nanxing also turned around and glanced back.
Ye Xinning couldn't help but chuckle, "I know that Xiangsi is looking back at Chen Ting, but what about you? Is it Chi Zhao or Zhou Jiamu?"
After Ye Xinning asked that question, Shen Nanxing laughed.
"Why are you making fun of me too?"
Ye Xinning smiled gently, "So, who are you looking at?"
"It's not Chi Zhao or Zhou Jiamu, it's my older brother, Sister Xinning. Aren't you wondering why my older brother didn't drink at all during the whole thing?"
"Is it strange that he doesn't drink if he doesn't want to?"
"It's not that I don't want to drink, it's that I can't drink."
...
On the way back to the Shen family home, Shen Lin drove while Ye Xinning sat in the passenger seat, her mind filled with the words Shen Nanxing had said earlier.
After you left, my older brother searched for you relentlessly. The first year, he was almost frantic, searching the world. The second year, he seemed to accept the fact that he couldn't find you, and he started drinking day and night. Later, he drank until he had a stomach hemorrhage at the villa on the hillside. The next morning, Aunt Xi went to bring him food and found him collapsed in the living room. From then on, he could never touch alcohol again.
— Sister Xinning, Big Brother never tells us to say these things to you, but I think you should know that Big Brother loves you. Although he hurt you, let you down, and was sorry for you in the past, he also had many things he couldn't do.
Shen Nanxing's words made her uncontrollably think about her and Shen Lin's relationship.
She never imagined that Shen Lin stopped drinking not because he had quit drinking, but because he had an accident while drinking.
Thinking about this, Ye Xinning felt dizzy and confused. How did things turn out like this?
How could this be?
She was preoccupied with her thoughts the whole way, and the alcohol she had consumed earlier had caused a flood of memories to rush through her mind.
She didn't say a word throughout the entire process, and because of this, Shen Lin looked at her several times.
She didn't say a word, and Shen Lin couldn't help but think that she had spent the whole day with Cheng Yuhuai.
So it's because you're with Cheng Yuhuai that you don't want to say a word to him now?
Does he really disgust her that much?
The two returned to the Shen family home and picked up Ye Zhimu.
Since Ye Xinning had nothing planned for tomorrow, she asked Chen Mojing if she would like to stay at the Ye family home for the night.
Silent Jing looked at Shen Lin cautiously, "Is it okay, Dad?"
Ye Xinning also looked at Shen Lin, who opened his lips and said in a calm voice, "Go if you want to, you don't need to ask my opinion."
Silently, the tourist nodded and said to Ye Xinning, "Mom, I want to go."
Ye Zhimu took Chen Mojing's hand and said, "Let's go, brother."
Ye Xinning looked at the brother and sister with gentle eyes.
The two siblings got along better and better after spending the last few days together. With more time spent with Ye Zhimu, Mo Jing also became more talkative than at the beginning.
I'm no longer as cautious when talking to people as I was when I was a child, which is actually a good thing.
From the first time she met Chen Mojing, she felt that this child was too cautious. The affairs of adults should not affect a child's entire life.
Let's go.
Ye Xinning bid farewell to the two elders.
Shen Lin spoke up, "I'll see you off."
After hearing Shen Nanxing's words, Ye Xinning now looked at Shen Lin with mixed feelings.
She instinctively refused Shen Lin, "No need, just have the driver take us. It's too much trouble for you to come and go."
"Isn't it troublesome for the driver?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Well, she regretted it. She shouldn't have drunk tonight. If she hadn't drunk, she could have driven herself right now, and she wouldn't have been so taken aback by Chen Lin's words.
In the end, Shen Lin drove them back. Because there were two children with them, the atmosphere wasn't as somber as when they arrived.
The car stopped in front of the Ye family's house. Ye Xinning got out of the car with the child, and Shen Lin followed.
Shen Lin pulled Mo Jing aside and whispered some instructions, such as listening to Ye Xinning, not throwing a tantrum, and being considerate of Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning frowned at Shen Lin's words.
These words might put pressure on Silent Jing.
Ye Rouxin came out when she heard the noise, greeted Shen Lin, and then took the two children inside.
"You should go back too, we're going in," Ye Xinning said to Shen Lin.
Shen Lin didn't move, he just watched her quietly.
Ye Xinning asked curiously, "Is there something on my face?"
Shen Lin shook his head and said, "No."
"Then why are you staring at me?" Ye Xinning asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Lin said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you, when can we give our child a complete family?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
"Don't you find it troublesome to go back and forth like this?"
Ye Xinning remained silent, simply looking at him.
Shen Lin stared into her eyes. For four years, he had wondered countless times if he would never see her again in this lifetime.
Now she stands before him, and this seemingly insignificant thing is something he has waited four years for.
"Ningning." He opened his mouth and called out Ye Xinning's name.
