While she was looking at the photos, Su Wan kept observing her expression.
"I told you it wasn't true. Shen Lin's expression in this photo looks a bit off. When has he ever been so gentle with a woman? Isn't he always so cold and indifferent?"
Ye Xinning glanced at the photo one last time, then handed the tablet back to Su Wan, speaking in a calm tone.
"Whether it is or not, it doesn't really concern us."
"I said, really? You're so calm, you don't really have no love left, do you?"
"If love could solve everything, then how did things end up like this between me and Shen Lin?"
Su Wan may have been joking, but she still knew about the complicated relationship between Ye Xinning and Shen Lin.
"But have you met Bai Yueshu? Is he a good person? How come such a person suddenly appeared?"
"We've had a few interactions, but we don't know anything about him or anything, and it's none of our business, so you don't need to investigate this."
Su Wan had initially been somewhat interested, but seeing Ye Xinning's lack of enthusiasm, she lost interest as well. Just then, breakfast arrived. After breakfast, Ye Xinning went to work, and Su Wan also had her own things to do, so the two parted ways.
...
When Ye Xinnian arrived at the law firm, Qin Yuchu saw her and said with a smile, "Good morning, Attorney Ye."
Ye Xinning nodded and said, "Good morning."
Seeing the group gathered there, Ye Xinning casually asked, "What are they discussing?"
"It's nothing, I just saw the news about Bai Yueshu and Shen Lin and was a little surprised. I really didn't realize at the dinner table that Bai Yueshu and Shen Lin were a couple."
Ye Xinning didn't want to go from home to the company, and the conversation still revolved around Shen Lin and Bai Yueshu.
She smiled. It turned out that, in the eyes of outsiders, the news about Shen Lin and Bai Yueshu was no longer fabricated, but a fact.
I wonder if Bai Yueshu, who likes Shen Lin so much, is happy to see this news?
She nodded, not joining their discussion, "I'll go take care of something now."
Qin Yuchu was already quite used to her cold attitude.
Since Ye Xinning came to the law firm, she has only focused on her work and has never participated in any gossip or interesting events.
At first, she thought Ye Xinning acted that way because she was aloof, but later she realized that wasn't the case.
That's just their personality; that's what they call doing more and talking less.
Qin Yuchu stopped discussing it and followed Ye Xinning to the office.
Seeing Ye Xinning sit down and start looking at the materials in her hands, she leaned over gossipy and asked, "By the way, is there any new progress between Director Cheng and you?"
Ye Xinning's gaze remained fixed on the documents, and her answer was clear: "It's impossible for me to be with Director Cheng. Attorney Qin, please don't joke about this matter anymore."
"Why? I'm your number one fan! How could you disappoint me? Besides, I think you and Attorney Cheng are a perfect match. Why can't it be possible?"
"Where is it appropriate? Is it my status as a single mother that's appropriate for him? Or is it the difference in status between me as his subordinate and him as the owner of a law firm? Do you think that's appropriate?"
"But Director Cheng never cares about these things. Attorney Ye, aren't you overthinking this?"
"He doesn't care, but I do."
"But……"
Qin Yuchu wanted to say something more, but Ye Xinning interrupted her.
"Alright, Attorney Qin, I have a lot of things to do here. If you don't have anything else important to do, may I work seriously for a while?"
Ye Xinning raised his head and said with a hint of helplessness.
Now, even if Qin Yuchu wanted to say something more, she was too embarrassed to speak.
She shrugged and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. Do you have time tonight? Let's grab dinner together."
"I need to pick up my daughter from kindergarten tonight."
“It’s alright, you can bring the child along. We also want to see if Attorney Ye’s daughter is as beautiful as Attorney Ye from a young age.”
"She's so mischievous, let's talk about her tonight."
"Alright, Attorney Ye, you're busy now."
...
Ye Xinning was getting ready to pick up Ye Zhimu after get off work when her phone rang.
It was Wenzhu calling. Ye Xinning hadn't answered the phone yet, but she knew it was probably about Ye Zhimu.
After the call was answered, Wenzhu's voice came through, "Hello, Madam, this is Wenzhu."
"Hmm, Wenzhu, tell me, what happened? Is something wrong with Mumu?"
"Miss is fine. I called to tell Madam that Mr. Shen asked me to tell you that he wants to take Miss out for dinner tonight, and then take her home after dinner. Would that be alright with you?"
"Want to have dinner together again?" Ye Xinning, who was tidying up her things, sat back down in her chair after hearing this.
"Well, Mr. Shen might be returning to Nancheng in a couple of days and wants to spend more time with Miss. He asked me to inquire about your opinion."
What could Ye Xinning say? Shen Lin was Ye Zhimu's father. If her father wanted to have another lunch with his daughter, it would be a bit unreasonable for her to refuse.
"Okay, I understand. You can take her out for dinner and then bring her back. It's fine."
"Yes, thank you, Madam."
After hanging up the phone with Wenzhu, Ye Xinning sat at her desk somewhat absentmindedly when someone knocked on the office door from the outside.
Qin Yuchu poked her head in and asked with a smile, "Attorney Ye, are you done with your work?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Didn't we say we'd have dinner together? Let's go. Attorney Ye, don't you need to pick up your child? I'll go with you to pick up your child first."
"The child was picked up by his father."
"Oh, I see. Then we can go straight to eat."
"Maybe I shouldn't go." Actually, she didn't really like occasions with a lot of people; it always felt a bit strange. Besides, she guessed that Cheng Yuhuai would probably be there too.
"Come on, come on, Attorney Ye. It's rare that you have time tonight, so let's go out for dinner together. Anyway, we'll all go home after dinner, so please do me the favor."
Ye Xinning wanted to refuse again, but then felt that if she refused again, it would be difficult to explain to Qin Yuchu.
In the law firm, Qin Yuchu was the best to her and had helped her several times.
After thinking about it, Ye Xinning nodded in agreement.
The law firm's dinner party was attended by all the firm's staff, including Cheng Yuhuai. The restaurant was a Chinese restaurant. As the group walked in, Ye Xinning, through Qin Yuchu's arrangement, ended up sitting with Cheng Yuhuai.
Feeling awkward, Ye Xinning realized that neither sitting nor standing up was an option.
Qin Yuchu doesn't seem to have given up yet; she still wants to bring her and Cheng Yuhuai together.
"Everyone, please order whatever you want to eat, don't be shy."
