Shen Lin froze, his eyes swirling with emotion.
He knew Ye Xinning well enough to understand what Ye Xinning meant by saying those words.
In fact, from the moment she put on the bracelet and was willing to smile and talk to him easily, he should have known that she had already given him the answer.
He felt his heart beating faster and faster. With trembling hands, he pulled her into his arms again. At this moment, he was no longer the cold and aloof president in the Shen Group office, but an ordinary man who had achieved his wish.
"Ningning, I love you, thank you."
Thank you for giving him a chance. Thank you for letting him hold him in his arms again.
Ye Xinning leaned on Shen Lin's shoulder, listening to his words of love. She could feel the excitement in his eyes when he embraced her, and she could also feel that he truly cherished this opportunity.
Ye Xinning smiled, a genuine smile playing on her lips.
When did you first make this decision?
It probably started from the day Shen Lin's plane crash. Even now, Ye Xinning can still recall how panicked she was when she heard the news that Shen Lin might be in trouble. At that moment, all she could think about was, if Shen Lin was gone, would she still be happy?
It was from that moment that she realized that, apart from Shen Lin, she could never find another person in this world whom she cared about so much and couldn't let go of.
So she made a decision: regardless of whether she could have a good outcome with Shen Lin, at this moment, she chose to follow her heart one more time.
“Sinking down.”
Ye Xinning called out Shen Lin's name.
Shen Lin looked at her gently and said, "Mm."
"This decision was very difficult for me, so can we have a future that's worth my choice?"
"Definitely."
Ye Xinning spoke softly, in a very light and gentle tone, "I hope you won't disappoint me this time."
Shen Lin's eyes were filled with undisguised tenderness. He held her tightly in his arms, and after a few seconds, he placed his hand on her face. The next second, he kissed her as if she were a precious treasure.
Ye Xinning was somewhat surprised by Shen Lin's kiss, but it only lasted a few seconds before she returned to normal.
Shen Lin's kiss was cautious yet overwhelmingly passionate. Ye Xinning's body was initially stiff, but as Shen Lin moved, she slowly closed her eyes and instinctively responded to him.
Shen Lin almost got into trouble. She also experienced several accidents in France. Through these uncontrollable life experiences, she gradually realized that she was just an ordinary person. In this life, which may be long or short, she could not guarantee that every choice she made would be correct. But at this moment, she wanted to follow her heart and love again.
After the kiss ended, Ye Xinning's face was flushed. Even though she and Shen Lin had done things more intimate than this, she still couldn't help feeling a little shy.
Shen Lin looked at the woman in his arms, took her hand, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
"I love you, and I will only ever love you in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning buried her head in his chest.
She is not greedy; having such sincere love is enough for her.
...
After having dinner with Shen Lin, Ye Xinning received a call from Aunt Wen on her way home.
Aunt Wen asked her if she was going back.
Ye Xinning could feel Chen Lin's intense gaze beside her, but she pretended not to notice. "Yes, I'm on my way back."
"..."
"Yes, I know Aunt Wen."
"..."
"Okay, goodbye Aunt Wen."
After hanging up the phone with Aunt Wen, Shen Lin was still looking at her. The red light had turned green, and the cars behind were starting to urge her on. Helpless, Ye Xinning spoke up.
“If Mr. Shen keeps looking like this, I estimate this road will be blocked because of him.”
Shen Lin said, "It's alright."
Ye Xinning, "..."
"Let's go quickly, I don't want the traffic police to come and ask us to get out of the car and have some tea later."
Disrupting traffic order is no small matter, and she doesn't want to become famous for it.
Shen Lin finally looked away and started the car.
Finally, the car stopped downstairs in the apartment building where Ye Xinning lived.
Ye Xinning reached for the car door, but there was no response.
She turned around, looked at the serious-looking Shen Lin, and suppressed a smile. "I've arrived."
"Yes, I know."
"So, Mr. Shen, could you open the car door?"
"cannot."
"Why?"
"I don't want to be separated from you."
Ye Xinning, "..."
She tried to patiently tell Shen Lin, "It's getting late. If I don't go up soon, Aunt Wen will worry."
Shen Lin sighed, unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and pulled the person into his arms again.
"Ningning, we're back together now, so when can we get our marriage certificate?"
Ye Xinning said with some helplessness, "Today and tomorrow are the weekend, the Civil Affairs Bureau is not open. Mr. Shen, even if you are in a hurry, you shouldn't do it like this."
"I'm worried."
What are you worried about?
"I'm worried you'll change your mind."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Shen Lin's hand landed tightly on her waist. Ye Xinning knew that he wasn't just saying it; he was genuinely uneasy and worried that she might change her mind.
“Sinking down.”
"Um."
Ye Xinning pushed Shen Lin away, looked at him firmly, and said, word by word, "What I say is what I've decided. You don't need to worry that I'll go back on my word. If I hadn't thought of it, I wouldn't have given you this answer."
"Really?"
Shen Lin was still somewhat hesitant.
Ye Xinning nodded firmly once again.
"So, I'll go upstairs first, and we can exchange the certificate back when the Civil Affairs Bureau opens, okay?"
"good."
This time, Shen Lin didn't waste any more time. He got out of the driver's seat and opened the car door for Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning got out of the car. "Then I'm leaving."
Shen Lin nodded, leaned closer again, and kissed her forehead.
"good evening."
"Okay, goodnight."
Ye Xinning turned around, ready to leave, but after taking only a few steps, the man behind her suddenly stepped forward and hugged her from behind again without warning.
Ye Xinning stopped and looked at the large hands around her waist. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man bury his face in her shoulder and ask in a muffled voice, "When are you coming back to Ming Mansion with me, Ningning?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Surprisingly, there was a hint of grievance in the man's voice.
Ye Xinning turned around and looked at Shen Lin in front of her. "Shen Lin, I only made this decision today. Shouldn't you give me some time?"
"should."
They promised so readily, but...
"So, why are you being so clingy lately?"
"I can't bear to part with you."
Ye Xinning, "..."
