Shen Ting, “…”
Isn't that obvious? In all this time, when have we ever seen them appearing together in love? It's either a cold war, a big fight, or them being indifferent to each other and ignoring each other.
Of course, Shen Ting wouldn't say that.
"Brother, I don't think it's a good thing for you and your wife to keep arguing like this."
Chi Zhao also secretly added, "If you ask me, why don't you just divorce her? That way, you won't have to drown your sorrows in alcohol, and Ye Xinning will be happy too."
"Brother Chi Zhao, isn't it said that you should advise reconciliation rather than separation? Why do you always try to make my brother and sister-in-law divorce?"
Chi Zhao replied, "Look at the kind of lives they're living now. One of them is having an affair with another woman who's pregnant with his child, and he can't explain it away. The other one is utterly disappointed, and there's a high-quality man who's been devoted to her for years. In this situation, isn't it only a matter of time before they break up?"
Shen Ting, “…”
Upon closer examination, it does seem to make sense.
"Brother, Huo Yanzhi likes your wife so much, and now that he's called off the engagement with the Mu family, don't you feel any sense of crisis?"
As Shen Lin listened to their back-and-forth chatter, he frowned in annoyance. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
What he said was all nonsense; not a single word was what he wanted to hear.
Chi Zhao laughed even more, and said sarcastically, "What we said is true. Actually, if you think about it carefully, Huo Yanzhi's claim is not bad. He is the president of Huo Group and knew Ye Xinning before you. Even if it's about his brother and Ye Xinning's mother, if they really wanted to be together, they could live abroad and avoid these so-called worldly matters, and they could live a very good life."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's expression was no longer calm, but rather terrifyingly so.
"She's my wife now, so even if I wanted to, it's impossible."
“But you don’t love her,” Chi Zhao continued, following his words.
"You still feel you don't love her?"
Shen Lin lowered his head, his voice indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
"I don't love it."
Chi Zhao, "..."
"Then why don't you divorce her?"
"No one has ever said that love is necessary to maintain a marriage."
"That's nonsense. If there's no love, why would someone spend their whole life with you? That's just being unreasonable."
“We got along very naturally before, and there were no such problems. You’re not married, yet you talk as if you know more than me.”
Chi Zhao, "..."
"You deserve to be drinking alone. I think Ye Xinning is right to want a divorce from you. I would want a divorce from you too."
That's some serious venom.
Shen Ting, who was listening to their conversation from the side, was so frustrated that she almost burst out laughing.
One was stubbornly refusing to admit it, while the other deliberately made some joking remarks.
"Alright, let's get back to the problem we're talking about, bro. So, what's your plan now?"
"What do you mean, what to do?"
"You can't keep arguing with your sister-in-law, can you?"
“I didn’t want to argue with her; she’s the one who made me angry.”
"Brother, haven't you ever thought about why you're so angry?"
"She's my wife. She's constantly getting involved with other men. Don't I have the right to be angry?"
Shen Ting, “…”
Okay, he figured it out. No matter what, this person wouldn't consider this feeling as love.
Shen Lin came here to drink and relieve his boredom, but after listening to their conversation, he became even more depressed.
Unable to stay any longer, he got up to leave.
Shen Ting called out, "Brother, are you going back?"
"Okay, I'm leaving."
After leaving Shengshi, Shen Lin drove on the road. At first, he didn't intend to go back to the Shen family, but as the car drove along the road, he unknowingly stopped in front of his house.
He glanced at the time; it was already past midnight. Standing at the bedroom door, he remained silent for a long time before finally opening the door and going in.
In the bedroom, only the bedside lamp was still on. The woman on the bed was breathing steadily, her brow relaxed, and she had fallen into a deep sleep.
He quietly gazed at the woman's face. A lamp was left on by the bedside, seemingly to draw her light. Since their marriage, she had never turned off this lamp, whether she was awake or asleep.
Thinking of what Chi Zhao and Chen Ting had said, he placed his hand on her face, very gently.
Do you love me?
Since marrying her, he has never thought of falling in love with anyone else. Everyone says that love is gentle and restrained.
But he never had those feelings for her; in fact, when they first got married, he only felt disgust towards her.
He had never told anyone that he had a strange feeling about marriage, as if he was waiting for someone.
When he married Ye Xinning, he spoke harshly to her, and this was the reason why.
After marriage, they didn't get along very well most of the time. If there was any time when they were most harmonious, it was probably only in bed.
Before getting married, he thought he would never touch her, but after having sex with her while drunk, he developed a different kind of interest in her body.
Why are you unhappy about her meeting Huo Yanzhi?
Why are they unwilling to get a divorce?
Shen Lin attributed all of this to possessiveness.
He could never find another person in the world who was so compatible with him, and subconsciously, he just didn't want to divorce her.
Since he doesn't want to, who in the entire South City can force him?
As for whether or not there is love...
Shen Lin thought that wasn't important.
After figuring this out, Shen Lin suddenly bent down and kissed the woman's lips. The soft touch satisfied him greatly. After a series of kisses, he turned and went to the bathroom.
...
The next morning, Ye Xinning woke up on the big bed and stretched her limbs, but bumped into a wall. She turned to the side and saw Shen Lin sleeping soundly.
Did Shen Lin come back last night?
She was surprised that she knew nothing about it.
Wasn't he very angry when he left last night? Why is he back?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, the person in front of her opened their eyes, and she froze for a moment.
He coughed lightly, as if by instinct, and turned around.
A large hand landed on her waist from under the covers, and the next second, their bodies were close together, making it impossible for her to leave.
"Mrs. Shen, is it beautiful?" A deep, resonant voice rang in my ears.
Ye Xinning looked him up and down, but refused to look at him. "You've misunderstood. I wasn't looking at you."
"Saying one thing and meaning another?"
Ye Xinning retorted, "I wasn't looking at you, I was just spacing out."
"Daydreaming? What are you thinking about?" he asked, but his hands were restless. Ye Xinning grabbed his wandering hands.
"I wasn't thinking about anything." He didn't mention yesterday's events at all, as if they had never happened.
This attitude left Ye Xinning extremely puzzled.
As she remained silent, the hem of her clothes was lifted, and the icy touch sent a shiver down her spine. Her voice rose even louder than before, "Chen Lin!!!"
