Ye Xinning didn't want Shen Lin to do it again. Heaven knows how fiercely he kissed her just now; she even suspected that Shen Lin's posture made it seem like he wanted to devour her whole.
"No, no, you kissed me so hard just now, I felt like I couldn't breathe," Ye Xinning said, her face flushed, as she gave in.
Shen Lin, however, remained remarkably calm. He raised the corners of his lips and fixed his deep gaze on Ye Xinning's face.
"Really? I thought you were enjoying it."
Seeing that the topic was about to spiral out of control, Ye Xinning quickly covered Shen Lin's mouth.
She begged this big shot to please stop talking; he was shameless, while she felt she had a thin skin.
Ji Jianshen's reply was that he hoped we would get along well, and he also felt that it was not easy for us to finally get together after all the ups and downs we had gone through.
Ye Xinning slightly embellished what Ji Jianshen had said and told it to Shen Lin, but Shen Lin didn't believe it at all.
"With such deep feelings for you, I don't believe he could say such a blessing to us. What did he actually say to you?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips.
She said that it wasn't just her who found Ji Jianshen's words sudden, but also that Shen Lin didn't believe them.
"That's what he did say. It's strange, but maybe he wants to let it go. But whether he lets it go or not, it won't affect our lives. You really need to change your habit of being jealous."
Ye Xinning couldn't hide her smile as she finished speaking. Shen Lin, however, caught the key point of her words and stared at Ye Xinning, asking further, "What do you mean by 'it won't have much impact on our lives'? I don't quite understand, Mrs. Shen, could you explain?"
Who is Shen Lin? He's the president of the Shen Group, a man whose mere words in this southern city can send shivers down the spine of the business world.
Ye Xinning didn't believe that she couldn't understand what she was saying.
She tentatively assumed that the man was deliberately trying to trick her into revealing information, but even if he did know, what difference would it make? Ye Xinning was still willing to tell him.
She mentioned Ji Jianshen to reassure Shen Lin, knowing that it wasn't just her who needed security, but Shen Lin as well.
“Chen Lin, I have never had any feelings for Ji Jianshen other than friendship or family. I have only ever loved you in my life. It is because of love for you that I chose to leave Nancheng and return to your side once again.”
These words were almost a reassurance to Shen Lin. He appeared calm, but the smile in his eyes and brows revealed his good mood.
He still had his arm around his waist, leaning down slightly, his eyes full of warm smiles.
"I love you, my wife."
"I love you too, my husband."
...
For the next period of time, Ye Xinnian returned to work at the law firm.
Although she had been away from Nancheng for some time, she was still doing what she was good at: the legal profession. So, during the entire adjustment period, Ye Xinning didn't find anything particularly difficult.
However, Shen Lin would feel sorry for her every time he saw her struggling with various cases.
I can't bear to see her working so hard.
Every time she heard this, Ye Xinning would kiss his cheek and say with a smile, "Mr. Shen, do you want to take care of me?"
Shen Lin would look at her seriously and ask, "I want to raise it, Mrs. Shen, will you give me this opportunity?"
Ye Xinning rested her chin on her hand, seemingly deep in thought. After finishing her thought, she said to Shen Lin, "I don't want you to support me."
Shen Lin was just saying it casually; he had no intention of having Ye Xinning stay at home as a full-time housewife.
He knew very well that his wife had a very independent personality, and it was impossible for him to stay at home. What he had to do was to fully support her career.
Regarding Ye Xinning's busy work schedule, Shen Yu and Xi Yuan mentioned it to them tactfully once when they returned to the Shen family's old house for a meal.
The gist is that Shen Lin's status and position mean that Ye Xinning doesn't actually need to work so hard.
Ye Xinning just listened to these words and let them pass; she knew the two elders meant well.
But work brings her more fulfillment and satisfaction. Moreover, with two children at home, she needs to keep her distance from them, otherwise she might have a less than happy childhood, especially for Ye Zhimu.
He can make her angry three or four times a day.
Regarding the matter of children, Shen Yu and Xi Yuan also asked Ye Xinning what she thought and whether she wanted to have another child.
When the question was first asked, Ye Xinning hesitated, wondering why they would ask it.
Xi Yuan just looked at Shen Lin talking to Shen Yu on the sofa and sighed, "Although you have Mu Mu and Mo Jing now, you two either lack one or the other in your childhood, neither of them is complete. If you have another child, you two will have to start from scratch and let Shen Lin take good care of you."
Ye Xinning understood what Xi Yuan meant, but her reaction was to shake her head.
“I’ve already told Shen Lin that neither of us plans to have another child.”
"Why? Why don't you want it?"
“We now have a son and a daughter. Although some of our past memories aren’t pleasant, we are full of hope for the present and the future. Having a son and a daughter makes us very content.”
"Sigh, I think it's because Shen Lin couldn't bear to see you suffer. That's fine too, since you're raising two children, you won't have to go through the pain of childbirth again."
Ye Xinning looked into the distance. Ye Zhimu and Chen Mojing were playing with building blocks. The two siblings got along very well. Chen Mojing was very sensible and would usually give in to Ye Zhimu.
