Outside the restaurant, when she saw the bright red palm print on Shen Mulin’s face, Fang Yan worriedly asked, “Are you OK?”
“I’m fine. Thank you for earlier.” Shen Mulin calmly thanked.
“I never thought Mrs. Lin would be this type of person. Say to strike and strike. What rich debutante, what precious madam! She doesn’t have any inner quality. She hit so hard, it’s already swollen.” When she saw the handprint on her face, Yu Weiya couldn’t help but complain about her.

“I don’t think you should go back to work. Go back home and rest.” Fang Yan looked at her face and could obviously see that handprint.When she saw Fang Yan staring at her intently, Shen Mulin unconsciously touches her cheeks. Earlier, she wasn’t paying attention to it so she didn’t notice the scorching pain from her right cheek until now. It looks like she can’t continue with her work today. Actually, this isn’t the first time that she has been dealt a blow from Chen Hanyin, so she has been numb to the pain.
She ignored the pain on her face and sincerely thanked them, “Thank you for today.”
“Why don’t we send you back.” When she saw her like this, Yu Weiya couldn’t help but enthusiastically said.
“No, no need.” She is not used to other people being so nice to her. Although they had worked together for several years, she isn’t very close to them so it would be troubling them for what happened today.
“Then you go home and rest, we have to get back to work.” Fang Yan could see that she is embarrassed and some time alone.
Shen Mulin nodded her head at them and turned to leave.
“Who would’ve thought the arrogant, serious, and blunt-speaking Secretary Shen would be beaten to the point where she can’t retaliate.” Yu Weiya said as she stares at her retreating back.
She must be someone with a story. Fang Yan thought. She turned and said to Weiya, “Alright, don’t look anymore. Let’s go, lunch is about to end.”
Shen Mulin doesn’t know where to go. It's only now does she realize that she doesn’t even have one person to go to when she is sad and in pain.

She suddenly thought that it would be strange that she didn’t return to work in the afternoon, she took out her phone and dialed someone. When the call connected, she didn’t give any greetings and went straight to the point, “I have some personal business I have to take care of this afternoon. You have an executive meeting at 2:30. At 4, you have an appointment with Zhongwei’s Director Zhang. You have a charity ball at 7 in the evening. If you can’t remember, I have your schedule on my desk so you can go and look. Also, I have to turn off my phone later so if there is anything you need to ask, then ask now.”“You...are you okay?” Zheng Weiqian was frightened by her sudden words. Shen Mulin had been working by his side for three years and had always been serious and responsible, never doing anything wrong. As more time goes by, he is willing to treat her as a friend, not only because of her relationship with Lin Yifan, but because Shen Mulin was originally his junior sister in school and he was the one who played matchmaker between them.
“I’m fine.” She Mulin doesn’t want to tell him what happened today because telling him would be the same as telling Lin Yifan, “I’m just a little tired.”
“En.” Seeing as she doesn’t want to talk, Zheng Weiqian didn’t ask any further, “Rest well.”
After she hung up the phone, Shen Mulin doesn’t know where to go. Perhaps she should go home and hide as she slowly licks her wounds, but she doesn’t want to go back to that house that has no warmth.
She looked up at the sky. Perhaps that is the only place that can shelter her wandering heart.
Shen Mulin stood in front of the orphanage, this is the place where she spent her first eighteen years. Yes, she is an orphan, with no father to spoil her or a mother to love her.
“Lin jiejie” A sweet and crisp childish voice pulled her from her memories.
“Huihui?” Shen Mulin turned and saw a 5-6-year-old girl pulling her sleeves.
“Today is not Saturday, why is Lin jiejie back?” In her pretty little head, she remembered that his beautiful sister always comes on Saturday and Sunday. Also, every time she comes, she would bring back a lot of delicious candies or beautiful dolls and toys. So, this child always looks forward to the arrival of the weekends.
“Yes ah, today isn’t Saturday, how come Huihui is not at kindergarten?” Once she picked up the little girl, all her unhappiness disappeared. Yes ah! This has always been the place to provide her shelter.
“That is because Huihui caught a cold so Shen ma helped me take leave. I didn’t mean to not go to kindergarten.” The little child explained, trying to prove her innocence because she remembered Lin jiejie likes kids who study hard.
“Then why is alone Huihui outside? Shouldn’t you be inside resting?” Looking at her adorable little face, she couldn’t help but pinch her nose.

“Because...because...Huihui is bored staying in the room alone…...with no other friends….” Huihui bowed her head and wrinkled her brows and pouted. Her expression makes it seemed as if she was wronged, making it hard for people to blame her.“Alright, don’t pout anymore. Why don’t we go look for Shen ma okay?”
“Okay,” Huihui revealed a lovely smile and then nodded her head.
When they went inside the house, they saw a woman folding some kids clothes, it seems like she has gotten more white hair. When the woman saw them come in, she put down the clothes in her hand and smiled at them.
“Shen ma” Huihui called out.
“Good.” She kindly rubbed her head. “Help Shen ma put away the children’s clothes. Shen ma and jiejie need to have a chat.”
“Okay.” Huihui adorably replied.
After taking care of Huihui, they took a stroll outside.
“Why did you come today?” She warmly smiled. Shen Mulin really needed that right now.
“No reason, I just suddenly want to see you.” Shen Mulin smiled. She doesn’t want to tell her about her troubles because it would only increase her worries.
However, even though she doesn’t say it, it doesn’t mean that others can’t see it. Although the red handprint on her face is faint, it still hasn’t dissipated. Shen Quici looked into her eyes. She knows that she is being stubborn and doesn’t want her to worry. But how could she feel rest assured after seeing her in this state?
“Tell mom what is making you unhappy.” Shen Qiuci said in anguish.
“There’s nothing. Even if there is, when I see you, all my troubles would be gone.” Shen Mulin coquettishly said. Only in front of her would Shen Mulin remove her facade, showing a bit of bashfulness.
If you don’t want to talk about it, then we won’t talk about it. If you’re unhappy then come back.” Although Shen Qiuci is reluctant to drop the topic, seeing that she doesn’t want to talk about it, she doesn’t want to make her more upset.
“Thank you, mom.” Mom is this type of person, she would accept everything about her even though they have no blood relation.
“Silly girl.” Shen Qiuci hugged her.
“I want to stay for dinner.” Shen Mulin wiped away her tears and smiled.
“Okay.”
Happy Chinese New Year! Thanks for the update
