Ye Xinning did not agree immediately, but simply said it in a low voice.
...
Shen Lin's health gradually improved, and after waking up, he was discharged from the hospital after staying for a week.
Because this is Jiangcheng, before being discharged from the hospital, Aunt Xi asked Ye Xinning if Shen Lin could rest at her house for a few days before returning to Nancheng.
Ye Xinning sensed something was wrong, but since Aunt Xi had already said so, Ye Xinning couldn't say anything more.
After being discharged from the hospital, Shen moved into Ye Xinning's home in Jiangcheng.
After Shen Lin moved in, Ye Xinning felt that something was off about everything.
She started going to work, and every day after get off work she would see Shen Lin with her two children. They were living a very good life, and she didn't seem like a sick person at all.
That day, Ye Xinning and Qin Yuchu went to meet with a lawyer representing the opposing party.
But after meeting the person opposite her, Ye Xinning was stunned. She never expected that she would see Xiao Chen again in Jiangcheng, let alone that they would be standing opposite each other in this way.
"Attorney Ye, it's been a long time."
Ye Xinning was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
"Long time no see, Xiao Chen."
Qin Yuchu looked at the two of them and greeted them so naturally, and asked in confusion, "You know each other?"
“Yes, he was my former boss, and also a friend,” Ye Xinning said.
This made the case much simpler.
Soon, the case was over, and Qin Yuchu, seeing that they were friends meeting again, gave them time to catch up.
"Attorney Ye, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. You can talk to Attorney Xiao."
After Qin Yuchu left, Ye Xinning and Xiao Chen sat facing each other.
Xiao Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "Judging from your appearance, you seem to be quite happy here in Jiangcheng."
Ye Xinning smiled, "Yes, it is indeed quite good. However, I left without discussing it with you beforehand, which must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"The troubles are fine, it's just that after you left, no one has ever made me feel completely satisfied."
"There are more and more young people now, and there will be more and more outstanding people as well."
"In the end, I still hope you can come back."
Xiao Chen was quite direct, and in just a few words, he revealed his purpose.
Ye Xinning was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "If Cheng Yuhuai heard this, he would probably be furious."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Chen spread his hands. "You were originally one of my law firm's people."
Ye Xinning smiled faintly, without directly answering the question.
Xiao Chen understood what she meant; her avoidance of answering meant she hadn't decided yet.
"By the way, I heard that Shen Lin was in a car accident in Jiangcheng. How is he? Is he feeling better?"
I heard?
Ye Xinning asked in surprise, "You even heard about Shen Lin's car accident?"
"You don't know, this has spread all over the south of the city. Do you know what everyone's saying?"
"have no idea."
"Mr. Shen, the president of the Shen Group, risked his life in Jiangcheng in pursuit of love."
"..."
Ye Xinning rubbed his temples; this was somewhat of an exaggeration.
"He's much better now and has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate."
"What about you and him?"
Ye Xinning exclaimed "Ah!" without understanding what this meant.
"No plans to get back together?"
Ye Xinning fell silent because of this question, and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing her silence, Xiao Chen continued, "Shen Lin, these past few years haven't been easy for you either. If you can let go, perhaps you can look back at him."
"I'm quite surprised you would say these things."
Xiao Chen crossed his arms, his smile calm. "Just saying. Of course, you've always been a very thoughtful person, so what I'm saying won't have much of an impact on you."
Ye Xinning gazed calmly into the distance. After a long while, she spoke, her tone gentle yet tinged with a smile.
"Back then, when I was in Nancheng, I was very confused and chose to leave. I was thinking that if I did that, would I have a different life? Now, Shen Lin and I still have entanglements, but on the surface, it seems that nothing has changed."
"What do you think?" Xiao Chen asked.
Ye Xinning smiled, "I think it should be different now. At least now, I clearly know what I really want."
"That's good."
...
Ye Xinning went home after having dinner with Xiao Chen. As soon as she opened the door, she heard noises coming from inside.
It was Shen Lin and Ye Zhimu chatting.
"Dad, aren't you busy with work? Why aren't you home yet?"
"I'm not feeling well yet, so I can't go back."
"But I don't think Dad is any problem," Ye Zhimu said, puzzled.
Ye Xinning walked in at this moment, and Shen Lin heard the sound and looked over.
His gaze fell on her, and then he said, "You'll have to ask your mother. I'll leave whenever your mother leaves."
Ye Xinning, "..."
She felt as if those words were said intentionally to her.
Ye Xinning walked over, not looking at Shen Lin, but only at the two children, "Have you eaten?"
"I've already eaten, why is Mom so late coming home?"
“A friend of Mom’s came over, and we had dinner together.”
Shen Lin didn't ask any questions, lowered his head, and continued playing with the two children.
Seeing that the two children were having a great time playing with Shen Lin, Ye Xinning ignored them and went straight back to her bedroom to take a shower.
Ye Xinning came out of the shower, her hair still wet, when there was a knock on the bedroom door from the outside.
She was just about to go and open the door when it was opened from the outside and Shen Lin walked in.
He was holding a glass of water.
"Auntie asked me to pour you some water."
Ye Xinning looked at the person who came in. The neckline of her pajamas was a little low, and she awkwardly took the water from Chen Lin's hand.
"Thanks."
After finishing her water, Ye Xinning looked at the man still standing in her bedroom and said, puzzled, "I'm fine now, you can go out first."
Shen Lin looked at her still-wet hair, said nothing, and went straight to find a hairdryer. The next second, he pulled Ye Xinning to sit down on the edge of the bed.
Ye Xinning belatedly realized that Shen Lin was going to blow-dry her hair.
Her first reaction was to refuse, "I can do it myself, you don't need to."
"Sit still."
Shen Lin's deep voice rang in my ears.
Ye Xinning, "..."
The sound of a hairdryer filled her ears as the man's slender fingers moved gently back and forth across her hair, a movement that felt almost pleasurable.
Ye Xinning sat there silently, not saying a word. Time passed by, and her hair was finally dry. Ye Xinning cleared her throat and said, "Thank you..."
Go out.
Before Ye Xinning could finish speaking the remaining three words, Shen Lin placed his large hand on her waist, and the next second, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Ye Xinning, "..."
She stared wide-eyed at the unexpected kiss.
He exuded a chilling aura, and Ye Xinning blinked, realizing what was happening, and tried to push him away.
"Don't move."
