The 99th Divorce

Shen Zhilie opened his mouth to reply, “I…”

 When he bent his head to look down, he was met with Ye Qianqian’s confident expression. She gave him a silent look that said, “If you argue, I’ll kill you.” Shen Zhilie chose not to finish the rest of his sentence.

 He pursed his lips and looked toward the estate manager as he asked, “Where’s your car?”

 “Over here!” The estate manager drove the car over and said, “Get in!”

 Ye Qianqian wasn’t heavy, but carrying her for a long time was still tiring.

 The estate manager opened the car door. After carefully placing Ye Qianqian inside the car, Shen Zhilie got in to sit beside her.

 Ye Qianqian turned to look at him and asked, “You’re sitting here?”

 Shen Zhilie looked back at her in befuddlement and replied, “Where else would I sit? Who’s going to take care of you otherwise?”

 “Fine.” Ye Qianqian scooted over to the corner. Her stomach was in knots, and her emotions were in a jumble.

 This guy treated her really well.

 She realized that she was beginning to really fall for him.

 Otherwise, why wasn’t she angry at him for touching her intimate zone?

 Her heartbeat sped up. Ye Qianqian turned her head away to look out of the window.

 The estate manager focused on driving and didn’t dare to look at them.

 Fortunately, it was night, so there weren’t many cars on the road.

 The ride to the hospital was smooth. The soon arrived and got out of the car.

 Ye Qianqian was admitted to the emergency department for a diagnosis. Her ankle was sprained, but it wasn’t anything serious.

 However, she wasn’t going to be able to walk on her own for the next couple of days.

 After the medication was applied and a bandage was put on, Ye Qianqian held on to Shen Zhilie as she hobbled her way out.

 With one hand gripped tightly by Ye Qianqian, Shen Zhilie used his other hand to support her. He asked, “Would you like some supper?”

 “No. Eating supper late at night will make me fat!” Ye Qianqian looked at the floor as she hobbled along.

 Slowly, Shen Zhilie looked at the back of her head. With his hand holding her up by her arm, he said, “You should eat a little more and fatten up. You’re too skinny.”

 “Damn you… How is this considered too skinny! I already have an extra tire around my tummy! I’m not having supper!”

 “It’s useless to have weight around your tummy. It has to be on your chest!”

 “What the hell! No! I’m not having supper!”

 “Fine. Could you please walk faster?”

 “How do you expect me to walk faster with a handicapped leg?”

 Shen Zhilie had no reply. He thought for a while and said, “I’ll carry you.”

 “No! I can walk on my own!”

 When Shen Zhilie heard that, he ignored her all the same. He pulled her over by her hand and scooped her up in his arms.

 His actions caught Ye Qianqian completely by surprise. She yelled out, “Shen Zhilie, are you crazy?”

 She squirmed aggressively in his arms, but Shen Zhilie’s body didn’t budge.

 He tightened his hold around her and said, “Behave yourself. This is the hospital. How are the other patients going to get any rest if you make such a loud ruckus?”

 Ye Qianqian pouted her lips, but she quickly stopped struggling.

 She leaned into his arms obediently. She found that as long as she stared straight ahead, she could see a five o’clock shadow on his chiseled jaw, as well as his Adam’s apple.

 Those only served to contribute to the man’s sex appeal…

 Shen Zhilie could sense Ye Qianqian’s eyes on him. He looked down at her and offhandedly asked, “Are you falling in love with me?”

 “Damn! You’re shameless!”

 “If you aren’t falling in love with me, why are you blushing?” Shen Zhilie narrowed his eyes. “Please don’t tell me you’ve developed feelings for me.”

 “F*ck off. How are you this shameless?” Ye Qianqian vehemently replied in denial, but she could feel her face heating up.

 It was starting to feel hot. It was almost as if a fire had been ignited.

 Shen Zhilie chuckled but didn’t say anything more.

 Ye Qianqian’s heart was beating a mile a minute in her throat. Her whole body was tense. She was nervous.

 Naturally, Shen Zhilie could feel it all. He lowered his voice and muttered, “Stubborn.”

 Ye Qianqian heard him, but she couldn’t be sure whether he had been talking to himself or her.
