Shen Ting turned sideways and carefully looked at Shen Lin's expression. His eldest brother had not looked at him since he came in. He kept talking to him. Was it a bit redundant?
Shen Ting thought for a while and asked, "Brother, have you eaten?"
"No."
Shen Ting, "..."
"Then how about...brother take my share?"
"good."
Shen Ting, "..."
Hearing Shen Lin's unceremonious words, Shen Ting suddenly felt a little confused.
He just casually asked why his eldest brother, who never eats pasta, agreed immediately.
Shen Ting still didn't react, but Shen Lin had already sat down, took the bowl in front of him, and started eating by himself.
Shen Ting had no choice but to get up and said, "Sister-in-law and brother will eat together. I have eaten anyway, so I will go back to the bedroom first."
After Shen Ting left, only Ye Xinning and Shen Lin were left in the living room.
Ye Xinning didn't say anything since Shen Lin came in. She had always been very calm, and this calmness was even a bit weird.
Shen Lin looked at her while eating noodles.
The two of them seemed to be competing to see who had better patience.
Shen Lin ate the noodles in the bowl seriously. The noodles tasted very good, which was beyond his expectation. This was the first time he had tasted something she cooked after being married for so long.
Thinking of Shen Ting sitting here just now, he was a little unhappy, so she would always cook food for Shen Ting, but he never did?
In her heart, he might as well Shen Ting?
Thinking of this, Shen Lin raised his head again and stared at her for a moment without moving his eyes.
His gaze was direct and hot, and Ye Xinning couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
She raised her head, her eyes calm and unwavering, "What do you want to say?"
"When did you come back?"
"just."
"Where have you gone?"
She didn't say anything. She felt she had no obligation to answer this question.
Her silence made Shen Lin helpless. Knowing that she was unhappy because of what happened when buying clothes, he patiently continued to talk to her.
"I can explain about the clothes."
Ye Xinning raised the bowl, took a sip of soup, and put it down.
He stood up and then lowered his head to look at him sitting at the dining table, "No need."
As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen with the bowl in hand, ignoring Shen Lin who was sitting in front of the dining table.
She didn't think he could explain anything. In that case, why waste their time.
Back in the kitchen, Ye Xinning simply tidied up the mess she had just made. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of the kitchen door being opened behind her. She turned around and saw Shen Lin walking towards her with a stern face. .
She had a vague premonition and wanted to avoid him, but Shen Lin grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
The distance between the two was so close that she could even hear his steady and powerful heartbeat.
Ye Xinning tried hard to stabilize his emotions and not have too many ups and downs.
"Shen Lin, let go of me."
"I said, I can explain."
"I also said that I don't want to hear it. What happens between you and Jiang An is your business. There is no need to explain anything to me."
Shen Lin was so angry at her indifference that anger rose in his chest.
"You were in the mall before, and you obviously cared about it." If it weren't for her mind, she wouldn't have left on the spot.
Ye Xinning narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips, and organized some words before speaking.
"I'm just tired. Can't I leave when I'm tired?"
Shen Lin stared deeply at her face, not missing any expression on her face.
"I have never taken Jiang An to any shopping mall. The shopping guide only knows me because Wenzhu went there to buy clothes for Jiang An."
"Wenzhu is your assistant. If she goes with you, is there any essential difference?"
Shen Lin's jaw tightened and his eyes narrowed. It was obvious that he felt differently on this issue from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Xinning smiled softly, a little sarcastically, "Look, I just said it was not necessary. Shen Lin, your explanation is no different from me saying nothing."
She had no intention of getting entangled with him, and said in a calm voice, "Let go of me."
But Shen Lin tightened his hand and pressed her whole body against the cabinet behind him, "If you don't like it, I won't take you to her house next time."
Ye Xinning was helpless. She didn't know why Shen Lin kept talking about this topic. Did he really not know the crux of their problem?
She didn't believe it.
But looking at his posture tonight, it was obvious that if she didn't follow his words, it would be impossible to end it.
"Yeah." She nodded, her attitude looking particularly gentle.
When Shen Lin saw that she no longer raised all her thorns against him, he felt a little relieved, thinking that she really didn't care anymore.
His hand fell on her waist, which made Ye Xinning feel a little uneasy.
She held his hand and said, "I'm tired and want to go back to the bedroom."
Shen Lin asked, "When did you learn to cook?"
Ye Xinning answered a little perfunctorily, "When I was abroad."
"During those years when you went abroad, you took care of yourself by yourself? There was no one else around you?"
Ye Xinning felt that he had asked too many questions and was very annoyed, "No, I'm really tired. Shen Lin, can you let me go? I'm going upstairs."
This time, Shen Lin easily let go of her.
After getting free, Ye Xinning walked upstairs. Shen Lin stood there, watching her back going upstairs, and did not move for a long time.
It's one person and no one else.
…
Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Xinning arrived at the office, he saw a piece of news.
——Huo Yanzhi, the president of Huo Group, and Mu Yinjing, the daughter of the Mu family, canceled their wedding.
Ye Xinning glanced at a few lines of text, found no interest in it, and closed the web page.
She couldn't even guess Huo Yanzhi's thoughts. She could only draw some summary experiences from some things. Just like Mu Yinjing's case, Huo Yanzhi maybe... never thought about really going with him. Mu Yinjing gets married.
From the day he agreed to marry Mu Yinjing, he might have been planning how to cancel the wedding in an honest way.
In fact, sometimes she felt that Mu Yinjing was quite pitiful for falling in love with such a thoughtful man as Huo Yanzhi, but she didn't know that this man was scheming from the beginning to the end.
Putting away his thoughts, Ye Xinning devoted all his attention to work.
At the same time, in the Mu family's living room, Mu Yingjing slammed the tablet on the table to the ground, and on the screen was the divorce statement issued by Huo Yanzhi not long ago.
Mrs. Mu saw her precious daughter so angry and quickly comforted her.
"Soundscape, baby girl, don't be angry."
Mu Yinjing's voice became even louder, "Mom, he wants to break off our engagement because of that bitch Ye Xinning. He is so determined not to want me anymore."
"He has no vision. Mom and Dad will find you someone 10,000 times better than him, okay?"
"Not good." As soon as Mrs. Mu's voice fell, Mu Yinjing yelled.
