After the kiss ended, Ye Xinning lay beneath Shen Lin. The body's reaction to such a passionate kiss was the most honest one, and they both reacted. Ye Xinning's chest heaved, and her breathing became somewhat labored, while Shen Lin was no better off. His hand rested on her collarbone, and with such an intimate gesture, what was about to happen was self-evident.
On the hotel's large bed, the two were locked in a passionate embrace. Their bodies were perfectly in sync, and they were both very enthusiastic about it, especially Shen Lin, who tried all sorts of different things. When it was over, Ye Xinning felt completely exhausted and utterly drained.
Shen Lin kissed her forehead, looking at how tired she was, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he was in a very good mood.
"Your health is that bad?"
Ye Xinning, “…” How many people could withstand the torment he puts on?
Seeing that she was too tired to speak, Shen Lin couldn't bear to do anything for her.
"I'll carry you to take a bath."
When he said he wanted to carry her to take a bath, Ye Xinning's first reaction was to shake her head.
What a joke! How could she not know what happens after each bathroom incident?
An accidental discharge...
entangled desperately...
There was never a time when Shen Lin could control herself from simply taking a shower.
"I'll wash it myself."
She threw off the covers and got out of bed, but the next second her legs went weak and trembled, and she almost couldn't stand up.
Shen Lin also got off the bed. He came to her side from the other side of the bed, took her hand, and picked her up by the waist.
As she was lifted into the air, Ye Xinning instinctively grabbed his neck; she really didn't want to fall on the spot.
Shen Lin had already started walking towards the bathroom. "Don't worry, I won't do anything, I'll just help you take a bath, okay?"
His voice was deep, and he spoke the words "don't make trouble" with particular force, yet with gentleness.
Ye Xinning compromised.
As Shen Lin said, he only helped her take a bath and did nothing more. Although it was inevitably time-consuming and his hands were a bit restless, he did help her take a bath in the end and then carried her back to the bedroom.
Later, Ye Xinning was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, and she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
...
The next morning.
When Ye Xinning woke up, Shen Lin was no longer in bed. She picked up her phone and habitually turned it on.
The above is a message from Shen Lin.
"Awake? I'm going out to work. Mrs. Shen, please get some rest."
Going to work?
Ye Xinning looked at the text message and replied.
—You're awake. Is there anything you need from me?
Shortly after the message was sent, Shen Lin called.
"Just woke up?"
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement. "Aren't you working? Why are you calling?"
"Halftime."
Ye Xinning, "..."
All right.
She sat on the bed, momentarily at a loss for words.
"I'll have someone send food up at noon. There's a dinner party tonight, and I'll arrange for Wenzhu to pick you up when it's almost time. Please prepare in advance."
"Okay, sure."
There was someone talking on Shen Lin's end, probably because he was busy. Ye Xinning didn't want to delay him, so she said a few words and hung up the phone.
After getting up, Ye Xinning tidied herself up briefly, and then it was time for breakfast.
Hotel staff brought lunch, and Ye Xinning ate while watching the latest news.
She received a text message on the phone; it was from "him".
Ye Xinning put down her chopsticks and raised the corners of her lips.
—The family you helped before has seen their situation improve.
Ye Xinning thought of the little girl she had met in Beicheng before; it was good news that she was getting better.
Thank you for your help with this.
There's no need for thanks between us. That family wants your contact information, do you need to give it to them?
So, you messaged me just to ask about this.
—Hmm, I'd like to ask for your opinion.
Ye Xinning stared at the screen, imagining the expression on the other person's face when they said those words; it must have been very serious.
She smiled and shook her head. She should get used to it; he had always respected her wishes.
—No need to give it to them. I didn't mean it. Besides, the person they should really thank is you. I should thank you too. Without you, how could their family have seen any hope?
——Okay, I won't give it to you.
They chatted for a few more minutes before Ye Xinning had to end the conversation because he had something to do.
However, this contact reminded her that his birthday was only about a week away.
It's time to put preparing gifts on the agenda.
...
In the evening, Shen Lin's men came to the hotel to pick up Ye Xinning for a dinner party.
After what Madam Qin had done last time, Ye Xinning had an indescribable feeling about this dinner party and didn't really like it.
Shen Lin waited for her at the door, then put his arm around her waist and led her inside.
"What did you do this afternoon?" he asked in a low voice.
Ye Xinning replied lazily, "Nothing much, just going to sleep."
Are you still feeling unwell?
Ye Xinning understood in a second what kind of discomfort he was referring to.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't answer, mainly because she didn't know how to start the conversation.
Shen Lin lowered his eyes and saw her shy expression, which made him smile instead.
He discovered that whenever this topic came up, even her usually indifferent personality would reveal a different side of her.
He really liked this side of him.
"Do you need to buy some ointment?" The more embarrassed she was, the more he wanted to tease her.
Ye Xinning looked up and gave him a look that revealed his wicked sense of humor.
Shen Lin didn't stop there; instead, he asked seriously, "Mrs. Shen, you need to be more clear about what you mean. I don't think I understand what you mean with just that look."
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Xinning raised her hand and pinched his waist hard.
She was the one who pinched people, yet she was also the one smiling brightly.
"Mr. Shen, try saying something else."
Shen Lin moved his lips, but seeing that he was being pinched and still wouldn't stop, Ye Xinning became even more distraught. This time, her hand was no longer on his waist, but covered his mouth.
As soon as he made the move, laughter came from behind him.
"Mr. and Mrs. Shen are so loving."
Shen Lin raised his hand and grasped her slender, soft hand. "I'll play with you again when we get back to the hotel. Someone will say hello."
Ye Xinning, "..."
She was so angry that her cheeks puffed up.
So, was Shen Lin just making a fuss about all that?
She was clearly very angry, okay?
With her head down, she idly fiddled with her fingers. She didn't recognize any of Chen Lin's business partners, and there was no need for her to greet them.
In other words, all she needed to do was quietly be a decorative vase by Shen Lin's side.
But what Ye Xinning didn't know at that moment was that this dinner party had unwittingly made her the most important person in the eyes of some people.
