Chapter 306 Going out alone without an acquaintance
Ye Xinning naturally knew what kind of identity Shen Lin had.
"Whether I work or not has nothing to do with whether he is a business tycoon in Nancheng. I choose to work because I like it. I like the feeling of being devoted to work. And it's just that I'm pregnant. I've seen so many Even if you are pregnant with a child and go to work, it will be fine."
"Hey, if I were the second sister-in-law, then I would just sit around at home and do nothing. Since I have such a powerful husband, I should be able to sleep peacefully."
Ye Xinning lowered his head and smiled silently, "Maybe everyone has different choices."
…
Gu Shilin walked Ye Xinning to the door, "Second sister-in-law, we're here, how about I pick you up later in the afternoon?"
"There is no need for you to run out again in the afternoon. My sister Ye Xiaoxiao also works here. She can just send me off."
"Then let's watch this afternoon. If my second sister-in-law needs anything, just call me directly."
"Well, okay, then I need you to answer the phone and call you again."
After Gu Shilin left, Ye Xinning turned around and went to the law firm.
It was another busy afternoon. It was said to be busy, but most of the time Ye Xinning just gave Ye Xiaoxiao some necessary guidance. Ye Xiaoxiao was in charge of the process of most cases.
However, it is worth mentioning that Mu Chaochao came to her office in the afternoon.
I sent some exquisitely packaged small cakes, saying that I wanted to thank her for lending her a utility knife to open the express delivery that day.
"Lawyer Mu is too polite, it's just a small effort." Ye Xinning tactfully expressed that he didn't need it.
But Mu Chaochao still said enthusiastically, "With a little care, Lawyer Ye is welcome. We will all be colleagues from now on, and there will be a lot of things we can do together."
Hearing this, Ye Xinning couldn't help but continue to refuse, "Thank you then."
"You're welcome, I heard from Director Xiao that Lawyer Ye is pregnant?"
Ye Xinning did not expect that Mu Chaochao would ask about this matter, nor did she expect that Xiao Chen would be so loud and tell the truth about her pregnancy so quickly.
"Yeah." She had no choice but to say frankly.
"Lawyer Ye, please pay more attention. If you need anything at work, let us know. In special times, you must be careful in all aspects."
Ye Xinning nodded and said thank you to Mu Chaochao.
"Then I won't disturb Lawyer Ye."
"Well, Lawyer Mu is going to do his own work. We will have time to have dinner together another day."
"good."
After Mu Chaochao left, Ye Xiaoxiao said with a half-smile, "What did I miss? When did you, sister, become so familiar with Lawyer Mu?"
"It's nothing. It's just that when you were away that day, she came here and borrowed a utility knife to open the express delivery."
"That's it?"
"Otherwise, what else do you think?"
"I thought that giving a gift so politely would be a big help, but I didn't expect it to be such a small thing. To give a gift because of this matter, Lawyer Mu is really a good person."
Ye Xinning is not a fool. How could he not understand the deeper meaning behind Ye Xiaoxiao's words?
"Don't think too much. We are all colleagues. Maybe this is how people behave."
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said nothing more.
…
When he got off work in the evening, Shen Lin called and said that he had encountered a difficult matter at work and might go home later in the evening.
Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao went back together.
Because there was a little accident when I went home with Ye Xinning last time, so Ye Xiaoxiao drove very seriously this time.
The car stopped at the entrance of Ming Mansion. Ye Xiaoxiao left because she had other things to do. Ye Xinning watched her leave before walking in.
She walked into the living room. There was no one in the living room. Gu Shilin was not there, and neither was Mu Mingwei.
Aunt Wen saw her coming back and came forward to take the bag and other things from her hand.
"You must be hungry, miss. The food in the kitchen will be ready soon."
"Um."
Ye Xinning glanced upstairs, "Where's my aunt?"
"Mrs. Gu is resting upstairs."
"Rest? Have you been resting since we went out?"
"No, Mrs. Gu went out during the day."
Have you ever gone out?
This actually surprised Ye Xinning.
"Then did aunty say what she was going out for?"
"No, Mrs. Gu didn't tell anyone when she went out. She called a car herself."
Ye Xinning nodded, understanding.
Mu Mingwei would go out alone without anyone around her. Ye Xinning was wondering, when was this going out?
…
When Shen Lin came back in the evening, Ye Xinning was still reading a difficult case in the study. After Shen Lin came back, he looked around before he saw her in the study.
Seeing how seriously she was handling her work, he walked over and took her and the chair into his arms.
"Why so much work to do?"
Ye Xinning heard the sound, turned around and looked at the man behind him, "Should I say this to Mr. Shen who has only come back now after being so busy?"
A smile appeared on Shen Lin's eyebrows, "Mrs. Shen said this because I'm busy with work and don't have time to spend time with you. Are you unhappy?"
"Am I such an ignorant person?" Ye Xinning has known about Shen Lin's busy life from a very early age. Outsiders only know that Shen Lin is glamorous. They know that he is the president of the Shen Group and that he has a huge wealth, but they don't know that he is the president of the Shen Group. Being in a high position also puts you under a lot of pressure.
Shen Lin pulled her up from her position and sat down, letting her sit on his lap.
"Sometimes I would rather you weren't so sensible."
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin doubtfully.
"If you were more aggressive and not so considerate, then I can still say that you don't dare to come home late when your wife is at home."
Ye Xinning was amused by Shen Lin's words, "If I say this, others will think that I am an unreasonable person."
"You can be unreasonable here."
Ye Xinning leaned into his arms, "I don't want it."
Shen Lin's doting laughter came from above his head. The two talked for a while, and Ye Xinning suddenly thought of what Aunt Wen said before.
"Shen Lin."
"Um."
"Auntie, do you have any close friends in Nancheng?"
Shen Lin looked at her seriously, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Ye Xinning couldn't figure out why Mu Mingwei didn't tell Shen Lin about this, so she didn't directly say, "It's nothing, just asking."
"My aunt rarely comes to Nancheng. She came more often when I was young and my mother was still alive. Later, after my mother passed away, she came very rarely. Basically she only came here on the anniversary of my mother's death. Sometimes even the death anniversary doesn't come. Do you really think there are any close friends here? Then I really don't know."
Ye Xinning nodded after hearing this and did not ask any more questions.
So, what was Mu Mingwei going out for?
Shen Lin saw Ye Xinning lowering his head and not speaking, and was about to speak when Ye Xinning's phone rang.
