Ye Xinning nodded to Aunt Ning and corrected her, "Aunt Ning, Shen Lin and I have been divorced for a long time. Aunt Ning should call me Miss Ye."
The smile on Aunt Ning's face faltered. Looking at the disappointment flashing in Shen Lin's eyes, Aunt Ning sighed silently, "Okay, Miss Ye."
Ye Xinning turned around and looked at Shen Lin, "You're home too, it's time for me to leave."
Shen Lin held her hand and refused to let her leave.
Ye Xinning frowned, and Shen Lin spoke, with a tentative tone in his voice, "Can you stay and eat before leaving?"
"No, Aunt Wen has prepared dinner and is still waiting for me."
With her distant attitude, how could Shen Lin not know that she was keeping a distance from him.
"You offered to send me back, wasn't it because you cared about me?"
He looked into Ye Xinning's eyes, persistently wanting an answer.
If it weren't for the worry that the conflict between him and Huo Yanzhi would get worse, she wouldn't have been able to send him back.
She should care about him.
Faced with Shen Lin's question, Ye Xinning did not hesitate and immediately answered, "I think you may have misunderstood. The reason why I brought you back is because I don't want you and Huo Yanzhi to continue to quarrel in front of the law firm. Shen Lin, you should You know, what I fear most is trouble."
"So, you just don't want to get into trouble because that's where you work?"
Ye Xinning acquiesced.
Shen Lin smiled bitterly, it was really ironic, but he thought that she came back with him because she was worried about him.
"Okay, let's go." Shen Lin turned around. At this moment, he was stubborn and didn't want Ye Xinning to see the disappointment in his eyes.
Ye Xinning nodded to Aunt Ning and left without even saying another word to Shen Lin.
Aunt Ning couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw the couple they used to be like now, "Miss Ye is completely different."
When Shen Lin heard this, he lowered his head and looked at Aunt Ning, "What's the difference?"
"Compared to before, his eyes are firmer and colder."
Sadness flashed across Shen Lin's eyes.
He went upstairs without saying anything.
After today's incident, one of the questions Shen Lin began to reflect on was that Ye Xinning now...
Do you still have him in your heart?
…
Ye Xinning returned home directly after leaving Ming Mansion.
After dinner, she went to the study to handle the remaining work.
After finishing her work, she went back to the bedroom, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.
Thinking of the fight between Shen Lin and Huo Yanzhi at the door of the law firm today, she only belatedly remembered why Shen Lin was there at that time?
Was he always at the door of her law firm or did he just happen to be there on business?
Ye Xinning couldn't figure it out. When he thought about it again, the only scene in his mind was when Shen Lin beat Huo Yanzhi with a gloomy face.
He also regretted why he lost his memory at that time. If he had not lost his memory, her ending with him would definitely not be the same as it is now. If he had not lost his memory, she would not have lost the child in her belly.
Just thinking about the unborn child made Ye Xinning's heart hurt so much. No matter how long it took, the wound would never be healed.
She and Shen Lin had a past that they couldn't let go of, and they also tortured each other during their short marriage. She once had expectations for Shen Lin, but after being disappointed again and again, such expectations finally no longer existed.
As Su Wan said to her before, the moment she chose to divorce Shen Lin, it meant that no matter whether it was good or bad, painful or happy, she had to learn to heal herself.
…
Early the next morning.
When Ye Xinning arrived at the law firm, Xiao Chen called him into the office.
"What's matter?"
"There is an economic dispute over in France. I want to send you there. How about it? Are you willing?"
"France?" Ye Xinning murmured softly.
Xiao Chen nodded, "Yes, it's in France. Because it's a bit far away, it may take about a week, so I still want to ask for your opinion first."
Ye Xinning thought, her father was in France, and Xia He was also in France before joining the Ye Group. If she went to France, could she take this opportunity to check whether there was a certain connection between them.
"How about it? Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it, I'm willing to go."
After hearing that she said yes, Xiao Chen continued to arrange the next step of the work.
"Okay, let Ye Xiaoxiao go with you. We will set off tomorrow. I will give you all the information about the case later. You can take a look first."
"good."
After getting off work in the evening, Ye Xinning came home and started packing her things.
Aunt Wen looked at her cleaning up and was puzzled, "Is the lady going on a long trip?"
"Well, Aunt Wen, I'm going to France for a business trip. You don't have to cook for me every day these days. Have a good rest and wait for me to come back."
When she heard that she was going to France for a business trip, Aunt Wen was stunned, "Miss, are you going to France?"
For Aunt Wen, she knew very well how much Song Zhengchu in France did not want Ye Xinning to go to France.
"Well, Xiao Chen has arranged a job for me, and it's in France. I'm going on a business trip this time, so I can check up on Xia He's affairs."
"What about Mr. Song?" Aunt Wen asked, "Miss, are you going to find Mr. Song?"
Ye Xinning stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. Aunt Wen, don't tell my dad. I have my own arrangements for my business trip to France."
Ye Xinning said that for this reason, whatever Aunt Wen said would seem a bit redundant.
"After that lady arrives in France, be careful."
"Okay, don't worry, Aunt Wen. I'm just dealing with work and checking up on Xia He. Nothing will happen."
Even though she said this, Aunt Wen still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Miss, you must be careful when you go to France. If you are not familiar with the place, what should you do if something happens?"
Ye Xinning comforted Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, don't worry, smile and come with me, we will take care of ourselves."
"Yes." Aunt Wen felt relieved when she heard that someone was accompanying her.
At the same time, on the other side.
Shen Lin, who learned that Ye Xinning was going on a business trip to France, had a gloomy expression on his face, "Why do you suddenly want to go on a business trip to France?"
"Arrangements from Ms. Ye's law firm."
"Xiao Chen?"
"Um."
Shen Lin fell silent.
As time passed by, Wen Zhu hesitated a little, "Mr. Shen, what are your next plans?"
"Book a flight and I will go to France with her."
"However, Mr. Shen's trip in the next few days is not to France, but to Singapore to attend a week-long meeting to discuss the branch's work arrangements for the second half of the year."
"Cancel." Shen Lin said nothing and asked Wenzhu to cancel.
Wenzhu was in trouble. Do you really want to cancel such an important matter if you just want to cancel it?
"Is Mr. Shen worried about Miss Ye going to France alone?"
