Chapter 423: Chapter 423

After dinner, when Shen Bin went to return the meal box, he called Shen Chun over to take her to her berth, since it was in a different carriage. After delivering her, he told her to stay put and not overthink things, before heading off to wash the meal box and return it to the dining car.

When Shen Bin returned and wanted to talk to his wife, he found she was already lying down with her back to him, asleep. Shen Bin knew she didn’t want to acknowledge him, and since they were in the carriage with everyone else sleeping, he didn’t dare to disturb her. So, he lay down. Ye Ling, listening to him lying down from her berth, also let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried he’d come over to push her. Now that she heard him lie down, she reminisced about how Shen Bin was in their previous life too, feeling at ease yet a bit disappointed.

In a hazy sleep, Ye Ling did not rest well. Until she was gently pushed awake, she opened her eyes to meet Shen Bin’s serious gaze, and instantly became alert, sitting up, "What’s wrong?"

The sky outside was just beginning to brighten. Some people inside the carriage were still asleep, while others were whispering quietly, and at the end of Shen Bin’s berth, Shen Chun was sitting with her head down.

"In the middle of the night, when the train stopped, Shen Chun tried to sneak off the train and was stopped by the train police, who brought her to me." Shen Bin spoke softly about the situation.

The train police, who had issued the extra ticket for Shen Chun, knew she was supposed to travel to Da XingAn Ridge. Upon seeing her trying to get off midway, and thinking she had sneaked onto the train earlier, they stopped her and brought her over to Shen Bin.

Shen Chun sobbed, "Brother, sister-in-law, I just didn’t want to cause you any trouble."

Shen Bin furrowed his brows, keeping silent, but his gaze was fixed on Ye Ling. The most update n0vels are published on ⓝovelFire.net

Ye Ling got out of bed, put on her shoes, and said, "Let Shen Chun sleep in my berth, I’ll go sleep in hers."

That was truly what Shen Bin had woken her up for, wasn’t it? Seeing Shen Bin , Ye Ling felt all the more disappointed and didn’t hide it, showing it plainly on her face, "You could have just told me your thoughts directly, there’s no need to make me guess. Is it fun for a husband and wife to play guessing games ?"

Shen Bin, who had just risen from his berth, stiffened slightly. After standing straight, he seriously looked at his young wife in front of him, feeling an indescribable pain, "Ye Ling, I’ll explain everything to you when we get there."

Ye Ling shook her head, "No need to explain. If you keep acting , I don’t think any explanation will matter. You say one thing but your actions say another. I understand your concern for Shen Chun, but I can’t understand your actions."

As she was about to leave, she added, "Towards my actions."

Ye Ling knew Shen Bin had only this one sister, who looked to him since childhood, which is why he took such great care of her. She could understand this, but she couldn’t accept constantly accommodating the sister for this reason alone.

"Brother, it’s all my fault." Shen Chun gently tugged Shen Bin’s sleeve, "You should go explain to sister-in-law."

"You stay here." Shen Bin said briefly, striding out to catch up.

At the junction between carriages, he rushed from behind to grab Ye Ling’s hand. Ye Ling flung his hand off, turned around, and glared at him with anger, "Why are you grabbing my hand instead of talking?"

"Ye Ling, we’re husband and wife." Shen Bin helplessly looked at his enraged wife, meeting her fiery gaze, "I know you’re angry now, I can explain all this to you. I also know there are many things I didn’t handle well today, but time is tight, and Chun’er is . I can’t speak with you in front of her since it would also hurt her feelings."

When he took a step forward, Ye Ling took a step back.

Shen Bin had no choice but to stop, "When you got angry just now, Chun’er was also very worried. I won’t talk much with you now. Wait until we get there and arrange everything for Chun’er, then I’ll explain it all to you. Go sleep in berth five of carriage eleven. Come over early tomorrow for breakfast."

Having a falling out with his newlywed wife upset Shen Bin as well, but over there was his sister, the one who’d been with him since they were kids and had no one else to rely on. If anything really happened to her, he would never forgive himself. For now, he could only inconvenience his wife.

Ye Ling was unwilling to look at him acting like he was the one wronged, "I’ll have breakfast by myself tomorrow, you don’t have to worry about me. Just take care of your sister."

"Comrade Ye Ling, you’re the sister-in-law; you can’t throw a childish tantrum." Shen Bin remarked upon seeing her refusing to dine with him.

Ye Ling cast him a glance, "I’m not your employee, and since I’m always causing your sister to cry, I’d better stay distant."

She managed a broad smile, but her lips immediately dropped, and Ye Ling turned and walked away briskly. After reaching the carriage, she looked at the untouched quilt and clean berth, feeling even more agitated. She pulled the blanket over herself and lay down. Having spun her mind all night, by the time the carriage was bustling and the sun was fully up, Ye Ling hadn’t risen. She slept till almost noon, then finally yawned and sat up, leaning against the train’s side and gazing out in a daze.

This was only the second day of marriage, and things were already . Ye Ling never imagined it would happen this way. Her stomach grumbled in protest, and without a mood to think more, comfortably knowing her money was close at hand, she had brought nothing more with her, fearing no theft. She directly headed to the restaurant carriage. Seeing there were morning buns, albeit cold, she ate two. With a full belly, she returned to her berth, only to find Shen Bin sitting there, waiting for her, with a face as cold and hard as if someone owed him a fortune.

Ye Ling remained standing and asked him, "What do you want?"

"Come here." Shen Bin commanded, taking big steps ahead.

Ye Ling ignored him and sat back on her berth. After a few steps, Shen Bin realized there was no movement behind him, turning to see she had sat down again, which angered him. But with all the people in the carriage watching, he couldn’t shout at her loudly. He also recognized that his wife was now truly mad at him; he should have spoken softly earlier. Now things were worse, his wife wasn’t giving him any chance.

Ye Ling looked up to see Shen Bin returning to sit on the berth, and she reminded him, "Aren’t you worried about leaving your sister by herself over there?"

"There’s no station stop coming up." Shen Bin replied nonchalantly.

Ye Ling nodded, acting as if a serious issue was about to come, which made Shen Bin feel he’d said the wrong thing again. Previously, he wasn’t this clumsy. How did he become so tongue-tied after getting married?
