"If someone splashes water on you, wouldn't you dodge?"
He was displeased, but he still held her hand tightly, ignoring her warning.
Ye Xinning muttered to herself, "If I saw her about to splash me, how could I possibly let her succeed?"
Shen Lin frowned, glanced down at her, and said nothing.
Ye Xinning was led by Shen Lin to the clothing store. The sales assistant greeted them as soon as they entered.
"Mr. Shen, what brings you here?"
"Pick a suitable outfit for her."
The sales assistant glanced at Ye Xinning, her smile perfectly timed, "Okay, please come with me."
Ye Xinning went with the saleswoman, while Shen Lin sat on the sofa and waited.
The sales assistant was very enthusiastic and recommended some of the latest fashion styles, but Ye Xinning seemed somewhat uninterested.
"Miss, take a look, which of these styles do you like?"
Ye Xinning glanced at the clothes the sales assistant was holding and asked casually, "Do you know Shen Lin?"
“Mr. Shen is a regular here, how could we not recognize him?”
Ye Xinning let out a long "Oh," and then said, "So, all these styles you're holding are ones that Shen Lin often buys?"
"More or less."
Ye Xinning smiled gently. The clothes the sales assistant was holding were all white dresses or clothes that were as plain as could be.
At first glance, it's clear that it's not in the same style as the clothes she's wearing.
"Sorry, I probably don't like any of them."
The sales assistant was somewhat surprised when Ye Xinning said she didn't like it, but they were all shrewd people who had been in the business world for many years, so how could they not know that they had misunderstood?
"I'm sorry, miss, I don't know your style. What kind do you like? I'll go and pick something else for you."
Ye Xinning smiled and declined, "No need."
She wasn't really in the mood, so she just grabbed two pieces and paired them with a black coat.
Sales assistant, "..."
...
Ye Xinning changed her clothes and came out. Shen Lin was on the sofa making a phone call. Hearing the sound, he looked up at her.
His gaze was unreadable, but he looked away in less than a second.
Ye Xinning had no interest in trying to figure out what he was thinking, but the sales assistant just happened to come over at that moment.
"Miss, you have excellent taste. The style you chose is a different style from the one Mr. Shen is wearing, which is unisex. When you wear them, they will be a perfect couple's outfit."
Ye Xinning, "..."
She looked at Shen Lin's clothes again, then sighed and realized she hadn't noticed before.
She turned around, ready to pick out another outfit; she didn't want to wear the same clothes as Chen Lin.
But she had only taken a few steps when her hand, hanging by her side, was gripped tightly. She turned around and saw Chen Lin standing in front of her.
"what."
He said briefly, "I'm leaving."
Ye Xinning was led outside by his hand. "I don't like this outfit," she said.
"You chose it yourself, and now you don't like it?"
Ye Xinning wanted to say, "If I had known that this outfit was a matching set with the one you were wearing, I would have been crazy to buy it."
Before she could even speak, Shen Lin interrupted her, "Ye Xinning, why are you so fickle?"
Ye Xinning was displeased upon hearing this.
"Yes, I'm fickle, unlike Mr. Shen, who has only ever had Miss Jiang."
Shen Lin turned around, looking at her with a stern face, "Have you eaten gunpowder?"
Ye Xinning didn't want to argue with him. She was already in a bad mood because of Mu Yinjing, and now she was even less inclined to do so.
"I'm going back now. Go pick out a gift for yourself."
As she spoke, she shook off his hand and walked out of the mall.
Shen Lin stood there, watching her departing figure, thinking about her attitude just now, and then about how she mentioned Jiang An.
He pondered for a long time before dialing Wenzhu's number.
The call connected, and Wenzhu's voice came through.
"President Shen."
"Where did you buy the clothes for Jiang An before?"
Wenzhu on the other end of the phone was puzzled, wondering why this person would suddenly ask such a question.
"In the xx brand."
Wenzhu announced the name of a brand, and Chenlin fell silent.
Wenzhu was still wondering what had happened when she heard Shen Lin speak.
"That's all, you can rest now."
Shen Lin hung up the phone, leaving Wen Zhu on the other end, looking completely bewildered and wondering what had happened.
Over here, Shen Lin held the phone, looking thoughtfully in the direction Ye Xinning had left.
...
After parting ways with Shen Lin, Ye Xinning felt rather bored. The composure she had displayed in front of Shen Lin had vanished, and she felt inexplicably down.
Before Shen Lin bought clothes for Jiang An, even the sales assistant knew that his appearance meant he was going to recommend certain clothes. Is this a kind of tragedy?
She thought to herself.
Ye Xinning did not go back immediately, but instead went to the mall staff to retrieve the surveillance footage of the scene where Mu Yinjing threw coffee at her.
Emerging from the monitoring room, Ye Xinning put her hands in her pockets, hunched her shoulders, and stared at the man who had suddenly appeared before her.
She hadn't expected Huo Yanzhi to suddenly appear, but then she realized that nothing this man did could be understood with conventional thinking.
With that thought, she looked away, lowered her head, and walked straight ahead, completely ignoring Huo Yanzhi.
As the two passed each other, the man's steady voice rang in their ears.
"She's come looking for you."
Ye Xinning felt that this question was somewhat rhetorical, so she ignored it and continued walking.
Huo Yanzhi reached out to take her hand, but Ye Xinning anticipated his move and dodged in advance.
Huo Yanzhi was not angry when his hand fell empty.
"Are you alright?"
Ye Xinning felt that Huo Yanzhi's hypocritical concern was really too glaring.
"Isn't all of this what you expected? You know Mu Yinjing, you know what consequences your actions will bring, but you don't care at all. That's just you, Huo Yanzhi."
"This is the only way I can break off the engagement with her. I thought you could understand me."
Huo Yanzhi's eyes were deep and his words sincere.
Ye Xinning couldn't help but chuckle softly this time.
But upon closer inspection, one can see that there is no warmth in her eyes.
"Has lying for so long made you mistaken? Huo Yanzhi, who are you to me? Do you need me to understand you?"
Her mockery was so obvious, it felt as if she were slowly torturing his heart.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Huo Yanzhi's eyes, but it lasted only a second before he smiled.
"I'm canceling the wedding with her, Ningning. I'll be a free person soon."
"What does this have to do with me?" She had no intention of saying more to him. Whether he canceled the wedding or did something else, it had nothing to do with her.
She was about to leave, and Huo Yanzhi surprisingly didn't stop her, but his next words made Ye Xinning stop in her tracks.
"You cherished that bracelet so much, but he can't remember it at all. What's the point?"
