Ye Xinning stopped in her tracks again because of Mu Yinjing's words.
She felt that some long-forgotten memories within her body were awakened in that instant.
The negative emotions that had been suppressed in my heart seemed to become uncontrollable at that moment.
She turned around quietly, then walked step by step to Mu Yinjing and looked at her coldly. Perhaps it was because her eyes were too cold and fierce, Mu Yinjing couldn't help but tremble.
"What do you mean?"
Mu Yinjing panicked a little, but she still managed to stay calm. "The literal meaning."
"Mu Yinjing, you need to know that I don't have much patience. Don't you hate me? Don't you wish I were in unbearable pain? Then say everything you want to say. Saying it will stop your pain and you can also get revenge on me, wouldn't that be better!"
Despite her clearly cold words, she coaxed her gently, as if she couldn't wait for her to continue.
Mu Yinjing originally wanted to control herself and not say anything, but looking at Ye Xinning's face, she could no longer care about anything else.
Why is it that Ye Xinning is still doing so well even though she lost everything?
Why should she bear all the sorrow and pain alone?
She didn't want that; she wanted Ye Xinning to endure pain ten times worse than she had.
"Ye Xinning, do you think you're doing well now? Do you think you can live peacefully with Chen Lin like this for the rest of your life?"
What are you trying to say?
Mu Yinjing's face was filled with a maniacal smile as she deliberately guided the conversation, "So many years have passed, do you still think that what you lost in the hospital was just that scar on your hand that represents you and Shen Lin?"
only……
Ye Xinning noticed the unusual way Mu Yinjing chose her words, her gaze turning cold. "Continue on, what else?"
"besides……"
Mu Yinjing stopped mid-sentence, looking at Ye Xinning's expression of wanting to know but having no other way to do so, and felt extremely smug.
"Ye Xinning, you must be feeling bad."
Ye Xinning pursed her red lips tightly. She tried hard to forget what happened back then, but now it seemed that someone didn't want her to forget.
And it's not just about not wanting her to forget, but also about telling her things she never knew before.
"Is it Huo Yanzhi?"
"Who else could it be but him?"
Ye Xinning closed his eyes and said no more.
She turned and left, giving Mu Yinjing only one sentence.
"What you're doing is undoubtedly making it impossible for me to have what I want, but Mu Yinjing, I, Ye Xinning, am not stupid. I am not someone you can manipulate."
Mu Yinjing stood there, furious.
This was completely different from what she had imagined. In her mind, by keeping Ye Xinning hanging like this, Ye Xinning would surely beg her to tell the truth. But Ye Xinning actually left, just like that.
She stamped her foot, feeling resentful but having no other choice.
After Ye Xinning turned and left, her first thought was to call Huo Yanzhi, but just as she took out her phone, she ran into Shen Lin, who was not far away.
Ye Xinning hadn't expected to encounter Shen Lin, and she instinctively stopped in her tracks, her heart pounding with nervousness.
So when did Shen Lin arrive? Did he hear her conversation with Mu Yinjing, or how much of it did he hear?
Ye Xinning was filled with unease, and even the faint smile that she usually wore when speaking to Shen Lin was gone.
"Mrs. Shen is really something. No matter where she goes, she always has someone by her side."
While Ye Xinning was feeling anxious and uneasy, Shen Lin spoke up.
It was still Shen Lin's usual style, full of sarcasm and deliberate mockery.
Ye Xinning remained silent. At that moment, her feelings were incredibly complex; she couldn't tell whether she felt relieved or disappointed.
In that instant, she imagined so many things.
If Shen Lin overheard her conversation with Mu Yinjing, would he ask her about the scars, and why she had scars on her hands?
How should she put it, try to explain to him again, or tell him that she was the one who saved him and that the scar was left for him?
But in the end, I never had the chance to say these words.
Shen Lin didn't hear anything, he heard nothing at all. Ye Xinning suddenly found it a little funny, so was she filming some kind of idol drama? Why was she always just a little bit short? Why did all the arrangements seem like fate was playing tricks on her?
Ye Xinning remained silent for a long enough time before speaking again, her voice surprisingly calm.
"Xiao Chen and I are just working; it's not as complicated as you think."
Hearing her say that her relationship with Xiao Chen was work-related, Shen Lin wasn't too surprised. He knew that she and Xiao Chen only had a working relationship, and he also knew that she had no feelings for Xiao Chen. He was just annoyed that she refused to come to tonight's gathering with him because of work.
In her heart, did her husband still have any status at all, not even as important as some insignificant jobs?
"This job, do you like it so much?" He approached and, before she could react, tightly wrapped his arms around her waist.
Ye Xinning didn't expect him to make such a sudden move. If she remembered correctly, they had been arguing back at the restaurant.
"Is Mr. Shen no longer angry?" she asked.
"So you did know I was angry."
Ye Xinning, "..."
What she wanted to say was that he was like a bomb every day, and could be ignited at any moment. Isn't getting angry a required course?
But if she said that, Shen Lin would definitely be unhappy again. Given the current situation, she had other things to do and didn't want to get entangled with Shen Lin here anymore.
"Mr. Shen, please don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health." She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of reassurance.
Tell me, why am I angry?
Shen Lin took Ye Xinning's perfunctory answer to heart. He asked so earnestly, as if he wouldn't give up until he got a clear answer.
Ye Xinning paused for a second, then thought of the universal answer template in a book she had read not long ago, and tentatively said, "It's my fault, I didn't pay attention to Mr. Shen's good qualities. Mr. Shen, please don't be angry anymore, okay? I promise I won't do it again."
Shen Lin's previously composed face underwent a noticeable change after hearing Ye Xinning's words.
Their relationship had been lukewarm for days, and she was quite indifferent to him. He didn't like this feeling at all.
For days, he tried to ease the tension in their relationship, but she didn't seem to care much, as if she didn't care whether the relationship was hot or cold.
He was also holding a grudge, thinking that if they didn't want to make up, they didn't care.
But just now, her proactive show of weakness made it impossible for him to remain cold. It was at this moment that Shen Lin realized that between him and Ye Xinning, as long as Ye Xinning showed a little tenderness and vulnerability, he would become completely unprincipled...
compromise.
