"Mr. Xie, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see, my wife, Chen Chen."
Mr. Xie, Xie Zhou, is in his thirties. The woman standing beside him is his wife, Chen Chen. The couple's actions and gestures are very intimate, and they appear to be very affectionate.
Shen Lin nodded and introduced Ye Xinning, who was standing beside him, to Xie Zhou and his wife, "My wife, Ye Xinning."
Ye Xinning looked up and greeted the couple politely, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Xie, I am Ye Xinning. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As Ye Xinning looked up, Mrs. Xie's gaze fell on her. After a pause, she warmly stepped forward to greet her.
"It's you! Long time no see."
Ye Xinning's hand was held by Mrs. Xie and she couldn't pull it away.
But this very action caused her to show a strange expression.
"Does Mrs. Xie know me?"
Shen Lin also spoke up, "Does Mrs. Xie know my wife?"
Mrs. Xie's expression changed when she saw the couple ask the same question at the same time.
A moment later, she awkwardly released Ye Xinning's hand, a guilty smile on her face. "I'm sorry, I may have mistaken you for someone else. Mrs. Shen looks a lot like an old friend of mine."
Ye Xinning looked at Mrs. Xie. So, did she mistake someone for someone else?
She smiled and shook her head. "Mrs. Xie, you're too kind. Mistaking someone for someone else is common. There's no need to apologize."
Xie Zhou turned his head to look at his wife and apologized as well, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Shen. My wife may have been a bit abrupt because she hasn't participated in social activities for a long time. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, you two don't need to worry about it." After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she looked at Shen Lin, but unexpectedly her gaze met Shen Lin's.
He gazed into her eyes, his deep gaze unreadable, his emotions palpable.
After this little incident, the four of them sat down at the dining table together.
Other partners arrived one after another, and Ye Xinning greeted them one by one with Shen Lin.
Aside from the initial incident where Ye Xinning mistakenly identified someone, the subsequent dinners were all normal. Everyone at the table was very articulate and talked about serious work. The family members were also respectable people, unlike Madam Qin from last time, who had ulterior motives.
When it was over, Ye Xinning and Shen Lin left together. Mr. and Mrs. Xie invited them to visit their home in Yecheng in the future.
After Shen Lin politely agreed, he left with Ye Xinning.
On the way back, Ye Xinning received a call from Xiao Chen, which was about work.
Coincidentally, Ye Xinning also has a business trip to Beicheng tomorrow afternoon.
"Can you make it back in time?" Xiao Chen asked her about her schedule.
Ye Xinning nodded. "That's fine."
She never intended for her work to be affected by accompanying Shen Lin on his business trip.
"As long as you can make it, that's fine. I was thinking that if you can't make it, I'll arrange someone else. But since you can make it, we won't change it. It'll just be a bit more work for you."
"It's my job."
"Okay, then let's leave it at that for now."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning put away her phone. Her hands, which had been resting on her lap, were held by Chen Lin, who asked in a low voice, "Work?"
"Yes, Xiao Chen said I need to go to Beicheng on a business trip tomorrow and asked if I could make it back."
"A business trip?" Shen Lin frowned. "So rushed? Can your body handle it?"
Ye Xinning replied softly, "No problem."
"Okay, then I'll have Wenzhu book the plane tickets."
That's her job. Since she doesn't find it tiring, what he should do is support her.
However, there was one thing that Shen Lin pondered before speaking.
"You really don't recognize Xie Zhou's wife?"
Ye Xinning didn't want him to bring this up, so she hummed in response, "What's wrong? Should I get to know him?"
"It's nothing." He was just wondering if he had really mistaken someone for someone else?
Ye Xinning wasn't stupid; how could she not notice the strange look in Shen Lin's expression?
She laughed and teased, "What, you think I should know you?"
"No." He ruffled her hair affectionately.
Ye Xinning was satisfied with his answer.
She simply doesn't know him; there's no reason for her to lie.
Moreover, she's not like Shen Lin, who, even with amnesia, can't remember the people she used to know.
Back at the hotel, Ye Xinning began packing her things.
At that moment, Shen Lin received a phone call.
After the call ended, Ye Xinning noticed his very serious expression and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"The cooperation agreement was not reached today."
Ye Xinning pondered the meaning behind his words and roughly understood, "Do you still want to stay and continue talking?"
Shen Lin strode over, took the clothes from her hands, and pulled her into his arms.
"This collaboration happened suddenly; we had made a lot of preparations beforehand."
His movements were gentle, and every word he uttered expressed his remorse. What surprised Ye Xinning even more was that he would actually explain things to her in this way.
In the past, she would never have dared to imagine such a thing. Even if she had asked, the old Shen Lin would probably have only given her a single answer.
My affairs have nothing to do with you.
But now, he's actually offering an explanation?
Although her easy satisfaction made her feel somewhat humble and easily satisfied, she had to admit that Shen Lin's explanation did indeed touch her.
She stopped packing her things, took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, and said softly, "I understand that you have your work. Nobody wants unexpected situations. It's okay, you stay and handle your work. I'll go back first, and we'll meet at home when we're all done."
Shen Lin brushed her hair aside and left a kiss on her forehead.
Not satisfied, he kissed her lips again, "How about we ask Xiao Chen to cancel your job?"
Ye Xinning chuckled, "It's not that bad."
I'm worried you're too tired.
She shook her head, and said again sincerely and firmly, "I'm not tired, I'm really not tired."
Seeing her so stubborn, Shen Lin didn't say anything more.
Besides, that's her job.
Ye Xinning left, and Shen Lin saw her off at the airport, watching her pass through security before they parted ways.
On the way to meet the client, Wenzhu sat in the front and noticed that her boss seemed a little absent-minded. She wondered to herself if it was because the president's wife had left early and President Shen was reluctant to see her go, which was why he was so unhappy.
Are they so inseparable, so hard to separate?
Wenzhu smiled, "Indeed, the relationship between real couples is much more endearing."
"asparagus."
The sudden cold voice pulled Wenzhu back to her senses, and she quickly nodded, "President Shen."
"Go and investigate Xie Zhou's wife."
"Mr. Xie's wife?"
"Yes, check if she has had any contact with Ye Xinning, or if she has had any contact with anyone around Ye Xinning."
Wenzhu also witnessed the scene tonight where Mrs. Xie mistook someone else for someone else.
Hearing Shen Lin tell her to investigate, she was puzzled. "Does President Shen suspect that this isn't just a simple case of mistaken identity?"
