Ye Xinning's face instantly turned red, mainly because Shen Lin's voice was low and husky at this moment, full of endless... ambiguity.
Ye Xinning wanted to push Shen Lin away, but she hesitated the moment she reached out her hand.
Shen Lin's initial kiss was brief and tentative. Only after realizing that Ye Xinning wasn't so resistant did he gradually deepen the kiss.
He was very patient, taking it one step at a time, keeping the initiative in his hands, and gradually coaxing Ye Xinning to respond to him.
The kiss lasted a long time, and Ye Xinning's breathing became increasingly erratic, and her consciousness became increasingly unclear.
It wasn't until the hem of her clothes was lifted and the warm touch fell on her skin that Ye Xinning's wandering thoughts instantly returned.
She grabbed Shen Lin's hand, her face turning as red as if it were about to bleed.
“Sinking down.”
Shen Lin stopped what he was doing and looked at the woman in his arms, her cheeks flushed and her expression shy. The smile on his lips gradually widened.
He placed his hand on Ye Xinning's face, lifted her chin, and made her look at him.
Ye Xinning wanted to avoid his gaze, but Shen Lin was incredibly powerful at this moment, and he did not allow Ye Xinning to back down in the slightest.
"Ningning?"
Ye Xinning did not respond.
Shen Lin continued, "My living here is not legitimate, so when will you officially make me a permanent resident?"
Ye Xinning pretended not to understand Shen Lin's meaning, "You're almost recovered, and you can go back to Nancheng soon. I'll talk to Uncle Shen and the others to see if they should arrange for someone to pick you up or something."
How could Shen Lin not know that she was deliberately pretending not to understand his meaning?
“Ningning, I’m not going back to Nancheng unless you come with me, with the child, and come back with me.”
Ye Xinning clearly understood what answer Shen Lin wanted. She tilted her head back and remained silent for a long time before speaking, her voice tinged with uncertainty, "Shen Lin, do you think we'll be happy after we get back together?"
Shen Lin held Ye Xinning tightly, his deep gaze filled with unwavering determination.
From the moment he woke up, to the moment Ye Xinning let him stay, the changes made him realize that Ye Xinning had changed compared to before; at least, she was willing to give him a chance.
Now that he heard Ye Xinning ask this question, Shen Lin was basically certain of what Ye Xinning was thinking.
"I love you, now and forever. I will give you everything so that you will not regret your decision now."
"You used to say you loved me, but we still drifted apart."
"I was wrong before, but I won't be like that again."
Ye Xinning lowered her head and remained silent, leading Shen Lin to believe that she did not believe him.
He lifted her head, his eyes filled with deep affection, "Ningning, trust me, okay?"
Their eyes met, and Ye Xinning felt as if her heart had been struck by something. She stared at Chen Lin's face for a long time before gently nodding.
"good."
When she first met Shen Lin, she was still in her early teens. Now, she has a son and a daughter and is soon to be in her thirties.
Time has left too many marks on her relationship with Shen Lin, but even so, she still loves Shen Lin, and Shen Lin still loves her. They should give an answer to their relationship after so many years.
Upon receiving Ye Xinning's reply, Shen Lin's heart raced, his hand on Ye Xinning's waist tightened, and a smile played on his lips.
He pressed his forehead against Ye Xinning's, his voice deep and powerful, "Believe me, in this lifetime, I will love you, cherish you, protect your lifelong peace, make you happy, and bring you joy."
Ye Xinning's gaze fell on his eyes.
After a long silence, she spoke, "I believe you."
Yes, it's about believing.
Despite being separated for four years, he never forgot her and suffered a lot for her.
He got into a car accident while waiting for her and almost never woke up again. He did all of this to win her back. How could she not know?
In the past, Shen Lin may have hurt her unintentionally or it may have been a cruel twist of fate, but it's all in the past now.
...
After Shen Lin recovered, he began to process some documents sent from Nancheng, while Ye Xinning continued to go to work at the law firm every day.
Since their conversation in the bedroom that night, their relationship has gotten better and better. Shen Lin would drive her to work, take her and the children to the amusement park, and take them to the supermarket.
However, Shen Lin never mentioned returning to Nancheng or remarrying.
Ye Xinning understood that Shen Lin was doing this to give her enough time to think.
No one wanted to remarry her more than Shen Lin, but he was able to control his thoughts. He gave her the utmost respect and enough time.
Ye Xinning was aware of all this. Shen Lin was thinking of her, so how could she let Shen Lin bear so much alone?
Within a month, Ye Xinning had finished all the cases she had on hand. When Cheng Yuhuai wanted to give her a new case, she simply smiled and declined, saying that she wanted to take a break.
Cheng Yuhuai wasn't stupid; she immediately understood that once Shen Lin recovered, they would definitely return to Nancheng.
"It's really a pity, I never thought our working relationship would end here," Cheng Yuhuai joked.
Ye Xinning pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said earnestly, "Cheng Yuhuai, I am very grateful to you. Whether it was when I first came to Jiangcheng and you let me join Huanan Law Firm, or later, your care, affection, and trust in me."
People should know how to be grateful. Ye Xinning has always known this saying. She was sorry to choose to leave Huanan Law Firm, but work is only part of it. She got back together with Shen Lin, so it was no longer possible for her to stay.
"If you say that, I won't be willing to let you go."
Ye Xinning knew Cheng Yuhuai was joking. "I don't want to publicize my resignation. I will send your resignation letter to your email. Thank you again for taking care of me over the past four years."
Cheng Yuhuai spread his arms wide. "A hug? Consider it a farewell."
The two stood at the entrance of the law firm. Not far away, Shen Lin sat in his car, waiting for her.
Ye Xinning hesitated for a moment, and Cheng Yuhuai looked in Shen Lin's direction, "No way, he's jealous of this little thing?"
Ye Xinning thought of Shen Lin, her smile widening, and in the end she simply extended her hand to shake hands with Cheng Yuhuai, saying, "Goodbye."
Cheng Yuhuai smiled and said nothing, "Yes, I wish you happiness."
"Thank you, you too. I hope you meet that girl who only has eyes for you soon."
...
Ye Xinning opened the passenger door and got out of the car. Inside, Shen Lin was looking down at his phone. He looked up when he saw her get in.
"Finished talking?"
Ye Xinning found it somewhat amusing, "How did you know I was chatting with Cheng Yuhuai over there when you were looking down at your phone?"
She was determined to expose his feigned indifference.
Ye Xinning noticed, but Shen Lin didn't say anything. He unbuckled his seatbelt and moved closer to Ye Xinning.
The next second, a passionate kiss landed on his lips.
