Chapter 1712
Shen Zhilie’s act of revenge was proving to be unsuccessful. He saw how unrepentant Ye Qianqian looked and could feel the anger rising in his chest.
The anger was weighty, neither moving up nor coming down. It was an unpleasant feeling.
Shen Zhilie turned around and faced his back to Ye Qianqian. He closed his eyes and didn’t utter another word.
Ye Qianqian could make neither head nor tail of Shen Zhilie’s actions. She shook her body loose and turned to look at Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie’s back was to her face. He was curled up with his arms crossed in front of his chest. It was obvious from his posture that he was furious.
What the devil?
She wasn’t even angry! What did this guy have to be angry about?
Ye Qianqian stared at his back and cleared her throat, “What… What’s wrong with you?”
Shen Zhilie inched a little further from her but remained silent.
His action made it more obvious that he was battling with his anger.
Ye Qianqian couldn’t comprehend the reason for his anger. She moved toward him and held on to his arm.
Shen Zhilie didn’t move. Ye Qianqian leaned over again daringly and lowered her voice to ask, “Hey, what’s wrong? What are you angry about?”
Shen Zhilie continued to remain silent. Ye Qianqian lifted a leg and draped it across him. She yelled out loud, “Shen Zhilie!”
No response.
“Bastard Shen!”
Silence.
“Darling.”
A shiver went down Shen Zhilie’s spine. He threw her leg off.
When Ye Qianqian saw that, she immediately pounced over. Her chest pressed against his back. Like an octopus, she tangled her body with his and called out, “My precious little darling.”
Shen Zhilie trembled again. He struggled for a moment and murmured, “Get off me.”
Ye Qianqian was equally disgusted by her actions, but at least they had managed to get a reaction from him.
Ye Qianqian immediately crawled over to his side. Reaching her head over, she kissed him on his cheek.
Shen Zhilie did not react to the kiss.
His eyes remained shut, and his arms remained folded in place. His lips were pressed in a tight line. Not a single word was said.
Ye Qianqian rolled over from behind him to face his front. She kicked him twice and asked, “What’s going on? If you have an issue with something, just say it! You’re not a man if you just keep it all inside!”
Shen Zhilie opened his eyes and looked at Ye Qianqian. He reached his arms out and held her firmly in his embrace. “Are you doubting my manhood? I’m afraid if I were to prove it to you, you wouldn’t be able to bear it!”
That innuendo-laced statement had Ye Qianqian blushing to her ears. She struggled in his arms and retorted, “I can’t stand you! You pervert!”
“You’re the pervert.” Shen Zhilie clenched his jaw and tightened his arms around her waist.
Ye Qianqian was squeezed to her limit. She pushed him away in resistance and yelled, “Shen Zhilie, you’re crazy! Are you trying to squeeze me to death?”
“Hmph!” Shen Zhilie released her and turned around. His back was toward her as he fell asleep.
Ye Qianqian found him unreasonable. She slowly felt her anger rising. She turned away from him, resolved to ignore him.
A few minutes passed. The doorbell suddenly rang.
It was probably room service.
Ye Qianqian’s stomach was growling with hunger. Since she wasn’t wearing any undergarments, it wasn’t appropriate for her to answer the door.
She nudged the person behind her with her bum and said, “Open the door.”
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhilie did not move. He didn’t say anything either. It was as if he were asleep.
Ye Qianqian’s anger rolled through her. She flung the blanket off forcefully and got out of bed, tiptoeing carefully outside.
However, before she could even reach a door, she was pulled back by a large hand.
Shen Zhilie looked half-asleep. His lips were pressed into a thin line. He walked out with an unpleasant expression on his face.
Ye Qianqian was infuriated and yelled out, “Shen Zhilie, you’re crazy!”
Shen Zhilie ignored her and headed to open the door.
Furious, Ye Qianqian turned around and locked the bedroom door behind her. She threw herself onto the bed and covered her head with the blanket.
