Shen Lin didn't say a word and kept holding her hand until he came to the bathroom corridor.
Before Ye Xinning could react, he pushed him against the wall.
The two people's postures were very ambiguous, and Ye Xinning could only maintain such an action.
Shen Lin finally spoke, his tone extremely low and frightened.
"So, you are satisfied with our relationship now?"
Such a nonsensical sentence, Ye Xinning didn't think clearly what he meant at first.
Until the conversation at the dinner table just came to mind.
——We are doing well.
This is what she said at that time.
But what is the problem with her words?
"Don't like my answer?" she asked him, her tone was very calm, just wanting to get a definite answer from him.
Shen Lin paused for a moment because of her rhetorical question, and then let go of her hand.
"Thinking too much."
"Am I overthinking? Weren't you the one who questioned me just now?" Ye Xinning found it a little funny. He was the one who forcefully dragged her away from the dinner table just now, and now he is the one who told her that she was overthinking.
There is a huge difference between the attitudes before and after. What is this if not irony?
Shen Lin had already let go of her hand. He lit a cigarette and started smoking on his own.
"Ye Xinning, do you need me to tell you? You are not qualified to question me like this."
Not qualified?
Ye Xinning stopped talking this time and took steps forward. Instead of having some meaningless conversation with Shen Lin here, she would rather go back to the dining table.
As he passed by Shen Lin, he grabbed her wrist.
"Didn't Mr. Shen say that? I am not qualified to question you. In this case, please let go of my hand."
She was angry, and she couldn't control her emotions anymore.
"There is a party tonight, you can go with me then."
Ye Xinning refused without even thinking, "I have something to do tonight, so you can find someone else."
After she finished speaking, she threw away his hand and left quickly without stopping for a moment.
Returning to the dining table again, Ye Xinning lowered his head and said nothing.
Ye Xiaoxiao noticed the change in her mood and lowered his voice and asked her, "Sister, what did my brother-in-law say to you? I think you don't seem to be in a good mood."
Ye Xinning held the cutlery in her hands and ate seriously. She was particularly calm when answering Ye Xiaoxiao's question.
"It's nothing, just eat quickly. We have to go back to the law firm after eating."
Ye Xiaoxiao originally wanted to ask something else, but seeing Ye Xinning being so cold, he couldn't speak anymore, so he had to lower his head and eat seriously.
After a while, Shen Lin also returned to the dining table. No one among the four people spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
After the meal, Ye Xinning thanked Shen Ting, "Thank you for the meal. We have something to do and will leave first."
Shen Ting waved her hand indifferently, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. Do you need me to send you off?"
"No, let's drive, that's it, goodbye."
Ye Xinning said goodbye to Shen Ting without saying a word to Shen Lin the whole time.
After saying these last words, he left.
Shen Ting stared at the direction they left and asked Shen Lin doubtfully, "Brother, did you have a fight?"
"A quarrel?" Shen Lin snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards his car.
Shen Ting, "..."
So was this a quarrel or not?
…
Back at the law firm, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao had just walked in when they met Xiao Chen coming out of the tea room.
"I'm back." Xiao Chen greeted them with a smile.
Ye Xinning nodded.
Xiao Chen looked at the watch on his wrist and asked again, "Have you eaten?"
"Um."
"We are here to discuss work expenses, remember to pay the bills." Xiao Chen reminded her kindly.
Ye Xinning, "..."
Before Ye Xinning could say anything, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and reported to Xiao Chen, "Mr. Xiao, there is no need to pay the bill. My sister and I ate with my brother-in-law and the others."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Ye Xinning, and smiled, "Really? That's because I'm disturbing you."
Xiao Chen's teasing words made Ye Xinning hold his forehead. Thinking of the complicated relationship between himself and Shen Lin, he felt a little headache and helpless.
"It just happened that Shen Ting was here, so I couldn't refuse."
"It's okay. You don't need to explain to me. Noon is your own time to eat. It's free."
It was okay if Xiao Chen didn't say this, but Ye Xinning felt very strange when he said it.
She pursed her lips and wanted to say something else, but Xiao Chen spoke first, "Okay, you go and do your work."
Xiao Chen walked towards his office with a coffee cup in hand. After a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Ye Xinning, "By the way, don't forget the party tonight."
"Um."
She remembered.
…
In the evening, after Ye Xinning finished packing, Xiao Chen came over and knocked on her office door.
Ye Xiaoxiao noticed it first, "Mr. Xiao, are you here to see my sister?"
Xiao Chen nodded, his eyes fell on Ye Xinning inside, and he raised his voice again, "Lawyer Ye, can you leave?"
Ye Xinning raised his head and saw Xiao Chen coming, and then realized that he had been too serious about sorting out the case just now, and he didn't even hear the sound.
She quickly took her keys and bag, but she didn't forget to ask Ye Xiaoxiao about her arrangements, "Xiaoxiao, Mr. Xiao and I have work. You just came back, what are the arrangements?"
"Sister, you and Mr. Xiao are busy, don't worry about me, I will make the arrangements by myself."
Seeing what she said, Ye Xinning didn't force it, "Then remember to tell me if you have anything."
"good."
After explaining to Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Xinning and Xiao Chen left together.
On the way to the destination, Ye Xinning drove the car and Xiao Chen sat in the passenger seat.
Originally, Ye Xinning wanted Xiao Chen to sit in the back, so that it was polite to clean up, but Xiao Chen said that he had something to tell her, so Ye Xinning had to throw the bag in the passenger seat into the back seat to make room for Xiao Chen Come.
"How is Miss He's case going?" Xiao Chen asked on the way, and Ye Xinning replied in a low voice, "If nothing happens, we should be able to settle it out of court, and we can also help Miss He to obtain the maximum benefit."
"This case was originally a bit difficult, but I didn't expect you to handle it so quickly." Xiao Chen smiled softly, with a lot of approval in his voice.
Ye Xinning was very modest, "It's just luck, I happened to find that loophole."
"You always like to say that."
Ye Xinning was a little embarrassed when Xiao Chen said something. She was afraid that Xiao Chen would misunderstand her about Versailles, so she considered what to say.
Before he could speak, Xiao Chen asked, "How are you and Shen Lin doing lately?"
"It's pretty good." Ye Xinning put his hands on the steering wheel, and when he said this, he smiled silently in his heart.
So what day is it today? Why do they come to ask her the same question one by one.
She answered Xiao Chen as she had answered Ye Xiaoxiao in the hotel before. She originally thought that the topic would end here, but she didn't expect that Xiao Chen would continue to speak.
"Then if I ask you to take charge of a case related to the Shen Group, will you be willing?"
