Chapter 215 Together
Shen Yuling originally thought that the resolute rejection last time was enough to make Ye Jinshu give up.
But she didn't expect that this not only failed to dissuade him, but made him even bolder to approach her.
As a young general, Ye Jinshu would rush to the border and lead his troops to defend his country against invasions from northern tribes.
The rest of the time, he took the initiative to ask for permission to garrison in Nanhai County, and Haiyu City happened to be under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County.
Since then, Shen Yuling's business dealings in Haiyu City have become much smoother.
She knew in her heart that Ye Jinshu's secret help was indispensable behind this.
Ever since Ye Jinshu first met her through Boss Li’s introduction, every subsequent encounter seemed like a carefully planned “coincidence”.
Ye Jinshu was also very considerate. He would deliberately conceal the news of his contact with her. Perhaps he was afraid that as a woman working hard outside, she would already be subject to criticism. If people knew about his dealings with her, it would attract more rumors and add to her troubles.
Time flies, and Shen Yuling spent two years in Haiyu City with Ye Jinshu in a hazy and yet seemingly unspoken relationship.
One evening.
The afterglow fell softly on the earth like golden gauze, and Shen Yuling rode in a carriage to the beach.
She ordered the guards to stop farther away from the beach, and she walked toward the vast beach alone.
The evening sea breeze, with a hint of coolness, gently brushed across her cheek.
As the number of people around her gradually decreased, Shen Yuling felt more relaxed than ever before. She took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the soft sand. The delicate touch from the soles of her feet made her feel happy both physically and mentally.
Recently, the business of Haiyu City has almost been back on track, and she likes to take walks on the beach more and more to enjoy the tranquility and comfort.
Looking at the boundless sea, her thoughts drifted away and she was immersed in the beautiful atmosphere.
Before we knew it, the glow of the sunset gradually dimmed, and the moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the entire beach.
The sound of the waves grew louder.
Shen Yuling took off the veil on her face, put it on her chest, then lifted her skirt and ran freely on the beach.
The long hair that was originally simply tied up scattered as she ran, fluttering in the wind like black silk.
She spun to the rhythm of the waves. Thanks to her previous dance skills, each simple spin was extremely graceful. In the moonlight, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
Just at this moment.
Ye Jinshu rode a horse to the beach.
Whenever he had time, he would ask about Mrs. Shen's news, and these days, she would come here to relax every evening.
So Ye Jinshu also came over after finishing his business today.
As soon as he came, he saw that she was not wearing the veil that she had never taken off in front of him. Her delicate and beautiful white jade face seemed to be glowing in the moonlight.
Dancing to the rhythm of the waves like a carefree fairy, Ye Jinshu placed her hand on her chest, as if trying to calm her pounding heart.
His body moved uncontrollably toward her.
Shen Yuling was tired from dancing, but her body and mind had reached an unprecedented state of relaxation. She slowly lay down, and the soft sand wrapped around her body. Although it was not very comfortable, she particularly enjoyed this feeling.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the quiet moment.
However, suddenly, she felt someone lying next to her.
Startled, he quickly turned to look sideways.
It was actually Ye Jinshu.
Her pupils dilated instantly.
Ye Jinshu turned sideways and looked at her quietly. They were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
The moonlight sprinkled on Ye Jinshu's handsome face, outlining his perfect features. The tenderness between his eyebrows was like the warm spring sun, and there was only her figure in his eyes.
Shen Yuling's heart trembled, as if it missed a beat.
In a panic, she subconsciously moved to the side a little, trying to distance herself from the person in front of her.
"Why are you here?"
Ye Jinshu did not rush to answer her question, but just stared at her with burning eyes.
“It’s been two years, and I still can’t know Mrs. Shen’s name?”
Ye Jinshu originally wanted Shen Yuling to see his sincerity. He was definitely not a man who would play with her because of her identity.
So in the past two years, Ye Jinshu only interacted with her as a friend, hoping that Shen Yuling would trust his character.
But tonight, Shen Yuling was different from the one in the business world, and Ye Jinshu couldn't help but want to get close to her. He wanted to ask her for an identity.
He wanted to be more than just friends with her.
Shen Yuling stood up and gently shook off the sand on her body, trying to calm her inner turmoil.
Ye Jinshu also stood up and stood quietly behind her.
"Ye Jinshu, I will never marry again."
Shen Yuling turned around, looking straight at Ye Jinshu with clear and firm eyes, "If you ask me what's wrong with you, I can't tell you. But I am a very rational person, I can't give you the same love as you."
She paused slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "I don't want to delay you, nor do I want to... owe you."
Shen Yuling is very good at using men's feelings for her to achieve certain goals.
But those men also had their own agendas for her, so she felt no guilt in taking advantage of them.
But Ye Jinshu was different. He loved her wholeheartedly and without reservation. Such pure kindness made Shen Yuling feel conflicted.
If she didn't respond, she always felt that she was too cruel; but if she responded, she was afraid that she could not give Ye Jinshu the love he expected. She was also worried that after trying, if she couldn't go on with him, how would she face the separation.
Ye Jinshu suddenly stretched out his hands, holding Shen Yuling's shoulders, and said earnestly: "You don't have to give me the same love, as long as you don't hate my approach, as long as you like me a little bit."
Shen Yuling lowered her eyes in thought.
Over the past two years, Ye Jinshu has appeared in her life from time to time. His help and kindness, like a trickle of water, have silently but powerfully penetrated into her world.
Shen Yuling had long since lost track of whether her feelings for him were love or affection.
Her mind kept telling her that she should stay away from him, but Ye Jinshu's unconditional devotion made her develop an indescribable possessiveness towards him.
In the past, she might have been able to easily say something to ask Ye Jinshu to like someone else, but now, she couldn't say those words at all.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself.
Is there no need for me to push him away? Can I give him a chance?
She doesn't have to do any missions now, she just needs to live according to her own wishes, right?
Seeing that her eyes were a little dazed and dull, Ye Jinshu couldn't help but reach out his hand, cup her cheek, and gently rest his forehead against hers.
The heavy and hot breath brushed Shen Yuling's face, bringing her back to her senses.
Shen Yuling raised her eyes and met Ye Jinshu's deep and affectionate eyes.
Shen Yuling felt her heart beating rapidly.
"Ye Jinshu, being with me may lead to eternal damnation, are you willing to do that......"
Ye Jinshu's eyes lit up instantly.
He suddenly hugged Shen Yuling tightly in his arms, his voice full of determination and persistence: "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that missing you will leave regrets in my life."
Shen Yuling's hands, which were originally hanging on both sides of her body, trembled slightly, and she raised them with a hint of hesitation.
Ye Jinshu held her in his arms, his arms becoming tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own life.
At this moment, Shen Yuling's heart seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force.
She closed her eyes and felt Ye Jinshu's strong heartbeat. The sound of his heartbeat and the sound of the waves intertwined together, making Shen Yuling intoxicated.
As Ye Jinshu's embrace became more and more passionate, she finally stopped resisting and placed her hands on his back, as if giving him the most gentle response.
But Shen Yuling was in a state of confusion.
Is it really okay to be with Ye Jinshu?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
However, when she raised her head slightly and saw Ye Jinshu's affectionate eyes, all her doubts disappeared in an instant.
She liked the way he looked at her.
It is a pure, unconditional love.
It was not because of her calculations, not because of any interests involved, but simply because he fell in love with her actively and unreservedly.
Shen Yuling leaned on Ye Jinshu's shoulder. Her original decision not to have contact with any man was broken because of Ye Jinshu's two years of efforts.
