Ye Xinning had finally calmed down a bit, but Shen Lin's words made her blush again.
She bit her lip, and her words seemed to come out one by one.
"I'm perfectly fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Shen."
Shen Lin sat in his office, holding a document beside him, and heard Ye Xinning's voice, which sounded like she was gritting her teeth and uttering each word one by one.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Who upset you?"
Ye Xinning held her phone lazily, "What does Mr. Shen think?"
"It couldn't be me, could it? I remember you seemed to enjoy it last night. Or is Mrs. Shen dissatisfied with my performance last night?"
As the conversation on the other end of the phone became increasingly absurd, Ye Xinning couldn't help but rub her temples.
"Stop, stop, Mr. Shen, I personally think we should be more subtle."
This person seems to have unlocked his full potential.
Wasn't I being subtle just now?
"I can tell you with certainty that it's not subtle."
A low laugh came from the phone.
"Then tell me, why are you unhappy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I feel you shouldn't say random things to Mumu in the future, especially... about those kinds of things."
Did she say anything to you?
"They were asking me why I didn't come downstairs for dinner last night."
Shen Lin exclaimed "Oh!" as if he had just realized something.
“Oh, I see. But Ningning, I want the child to know that we love each other very much.”
Ye Xinning, "..."
She strongly suspected that this was just an excuse from Shen Lin. Since they couldn't come up with anything on this topic, Ye Xinning simply changed the subject.
"By the way, is there something you need from my call?"
What are the plans for today?
"I'm going out later. I have an appointment with Xiao Chen to discuss work."
Are you alone?
"Otherwise, who else do you think there is?"
Ye Xinning said this with a faint smile on her lips.
"I'll pick you up later."
"You're busy with work, so don't worry about me."
No matter how busy I am at work, nothing is more important than you.
Ye Xinning, "..."
"That's settled then, I'll get back to you this afternoon."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning was still immersed in what Shen Lin had just said.
No matter how busy I am at work, nothing is more important than you.
It's normal for couples to say things like that, especially since she and Shen Lin are husband and wife.
But for some reason, this seemingly ordinary sentence left her speechless for a long time.
She seemed to be forever subservient to Shen Lin's tenderness and deep love.
...
Ye Xinning arranged to meet Xiao Chen at a coffee shop, but when she arrived, Xiao Chen had not yet arrived.
She wasn't in a hurry and sat down to wait patiently.
Just then, the phone rang. She picked it up and saw a string of numbers that she hadn't saved, but she knew who it was.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Xinning answered the phone.
The call was answered but there was no sound. Ye Xinning wasn't in a hurry; she waited patiently.
Finally, someone spoke up; it was Ji Jianshen's voice.
"I heard from Uncle Song that you went back to Nancheng?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head, rubbing her water glass with one hand.
"Yes, I came back a few days ago." After a pause, she took the initiative to talk about her relationship with Shen Lin, "Shen Lin and I have remarried."
There was silence over there for a long time.
Ye Xinning spoke again, "Ji Jianshen, are you listening?"
"Yes. I'm listening. It's good. You've gone through many twists and turns along the way, so it's only right that you've finally achieved your goal."
Ye Xinning held the phone. Ji Jianshen's voice was very gentle. She smiled and said softly, "Yes, I'm fine. Ji Jianshen, you should be fine too."
"Yes, I'm fine. Take good care of yourself now that you're back in Nancheng. I have other things to take care of, so I'll stop here for now."
"good."
Ji Jianshen didn't say much when he made the call.
Ye Xinning kept thinking about the conversation they had just had and what Ji Jianshen had said.
He was blessing her and Shen Lin; does this mean he has actually let go?
If that's the case, then that's fine too. She'll never be able to reciprocate Ji Jianshen's feelings in this lifetime. It's better for him to let go as soon as possible and start a new life.
...
I met with Xiao Chen and we discussed work.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed that she was back; her return meant he had gained another capable assistant.
I explained the situation at the law firm and discussed the position with Ye Xinning, including the specific start date.
After their conversation, Xiao Chen had other things to attend to, so the two parted ways.
Ye Xinning had planned to go home, but she received a call from Shen Nanxing as soon as she stepped out of the coffee shop.
"Hey, sister-in-law, where are you?"
"I'm outside. I just met up with a friend."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm at the bridal shop. If you're not busy, come and help me choose a wedding dress."
Ye Xinning raised an eyebrow. "Really? Then send me your address, and I'll come find you now."
Shen Nanxing sent over the address, and Ye Xinning took a taxi there.
On the way there, Shen Lin sent her a message asking if she had finished meeting with Xiao Chen. Ye Xinning said she was going to find Shen Nanxing.
Shen Lin was probably busy, as it took him a long time to reply, and he told her to wait for him to pick her up.
Ye Xinning replied with an "okay".
The car stopped in front of the wedding dress shop. Ye Xinning got out and went inside. When she heard that she was looking for Shen Nanxing, the staff led her inside.
