"Yes," Aunt Wen answered while busy in the kitchen. "I put it in the young lady's bedroom, but there was no name written on it, so I don't know who it belongs to."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Wen. I'll go check the bedroom first."
Ye Xinning returned to the bedroom. The items were placed on the floor, neither too big nor too small. She picked them up and opened them.
Inside is a humidifier from a well-known brand, and a very cute little desk lamp.
It has to be said that Ji Jianshen has always understood her. Not to mention anything else, she didn't sleep well all night because she didn't have a bedside lamp. Ji Jianshen bought this lamp at just the right time.
She put away all the things Ji Jianshen had given her, and when she returned to the living room, Aunt Wen had already prepared dinner.
"Miss, please wash your hands before you eat."
Ye Xinning nodded and went into the kitchen to get food for Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen didn't want her to do it herself, and said anxiously, "Miss, I can do it. You go and rest."
Ye Xinning shook her head and said to Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, it's just you and me at home, there's no need to be so formal. Hurry up and come out to eat."
"Miss, this is against the rules."
Ye Xinning patted Aunt Wen on the shoulder, "There have never been so many rules here. I can't eat much by myself. Aunt Wen, sit down and eat with me."
Aunt Wen wanted to say something more, but when she saw Ye Xinning's back turn, she saw loneliness in that thin figure.
Aunt Wen felt a pang of heartache. Miss and Mr. Shen's marriage was not going well, and in the end, they still ended up getting a divorce.
If it were someone else's daughter who got divorced, at least she still had her parents' home to return to.
However, the young lady could not return to the Ye family, nor could she tell anyone about this matter; all the pressure fell on her alone.
Aunt Wen sighed, walked out, and sat down opposite Ye Xinning.
"By the way, did Miss go to talk to Mr. Shen about the divorce today?"
Ye Xinning nodded, picked up her rice, and said while eating, "We met today, but because something came up, we didn't continue the conversation."
"I see."
Wen Yu thought for a moment, then asked again, "Miss, are you really sure?"
Hearing Aunt Wen's words, Ye Xinning knew what Aunt Wen was thinking. "Aunt Wen, I'm not acting impulsively. I've thought about this for a long time and decided to get a divorce. It's not a joke."
Aunt Wen sighed again, "I know that Miss cares about Mr., and I also know that Miss is saddened by choosing to divorce. I will support whatever decision Miss makes. Miss just needs to remember to follow her heart."
"Thank you, Aunt Wen." Ye Xinning ate with her head down. She had nowhere and no one to talk to about the bitterness of her divorce from Shen Lin.
She chose to marry Shen Lin, so she should bear all the consequences herself.
Her insistence on divorce wasn't because she didn't love him, but because she loved him too much—to the point that she couldn't accept such an unequal marriage and feared that she would completely lose herself in it.
Leaving Shen Lin was her decision, but when she couldn't fall asleep at night, just thinking about her past with Shen Lin would bring her uncontrollable tears.
She originally thought these things didn't matter, but when Aunt Wen said those words, Ye Xinning couldn't help but shed tears.
Her tears startled Aunt Wen, who quickly got up and came to her side. "Miss, did I say something wrong?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head and held Aunt Wen's hand. "No, Aunt Wen, you're right. I just need to do what I want to do. It's so comforting to have Aunt Wen with me. Thank you, Aunt Wen."
Aunt Wen rubbed her head and said, "Oh, Miss is so good. If the master doesn't cherish her, someone else will."
"Hmm." Ye Xinning said in a low voice, "By the way, have you found out who took the bracelet, Aunt Wen?"
When this matter was brought up, Aunt Wen's expression became somewhat serious. "Not yet."
Disappointment was evident in Ye Xinning's eyes.
"Not yet?" she murmured softly. Although the bracelet was broken and her relationship with Shen Lin had come to an end, the bracelet had been with her for so long and held great significance for her. Even though she had separated from Shen Lin, she still wanted to get the bracelet back. Not to mention anything else, it was a memory for her and something to keep for her.
Aunt Wen knew that she valued the bracelet very much, and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Miss. People can't do things without leaving any clues. We can always find it."
"I hope so."
There's no other way but to think this way now.
She really couldn't figure out who had taken the bracelet. She valued that bracelet very much; it would be worthless to anyone else.
Why would the person behind this go to such lengths to do something like this?
Was it all just to completely sever her ties to the past?
Ye Xinning couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, so he simply let it go.
Just like Aunt Wen said, we'll find out eventually.
...
Famous.
Shen Lin and Chi Zhao sat opposite each other, while Shen Ting listened.
Chi Zhao pursed his lips, held his wine glass, looked at Shen Lin sitting there, and teased with a smile, "What important thing were you doing when you texted me to call you?"
"Is discussing divorce such a big deal?" Shen Lin glanced at him coldly and suddenly spoke.
“Of course it counts, divorce…” Chi Zhao stopped halfway through her sentence, looking at Shen Lin in shock, “What did you say, discussing divorce? It’s not you and Ye Xinning, is it?”
"Otherwise what?" Shen Lin said coldly.
Shen Ting, “…”
Chi Zhao, "..."
Both of them felt this was a big problem, and most importantly, who initiated the divorce?
"No, I've noticed that my brother and sister-in-law have been getting along very well lately. Why did she suddenly bring up divorce? Where is she now? Why don't we go and talk to her?"
It would have been better if this matter hadn't been brought up; the moment it was, Shen Lin's gaze grew even colder.
He picked up the wine beside him and drank it all in one gulp without a second thought. Shen Ting was shocked and couldn't help but advise, "Brother, this wine has a strong aftereffect, you should drink less."
"Anyway, no one cares how much I drink. Didn't you ask me where she is? I don't even know. I was busy at the company all night last night. When I got back this morning, she had taken all her things, leaving only a divorce agreement. Isn't that ironic? The so-called harmony after the New Year was just a deceptive facade. This is just one step in her plan to get a divorce."
Shen Ting moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but then she heard Shen Lin say, "She wants a divorce? Impossible, I will never divorce her in this lifetime."
Shen Ting, “…”
