Chapter 1816 - Get the Hell Away from Me!
Ye Qianqian gazed at him wordlessly.
“When you said that you wanted to meet me, I felt as if I was about to lose my mind. At that point, I had two patients waiting for treatment. I still went straight to the airport without any hesitation and bought a ticket for the earliest flight back to Kingstown.”
Ye Qianqian was moved, but as she looked at Shen Zhilie, he suddenly felt like a stranger to her.
In the past, Shen Zhilie would never utter such words.
Put another way, Shen Zhilie never used to be that emotive.
What is going on?
What is going on today?
“When I landed in Kingstown, I didn’t call you. I just waited in the apartment until you came back from work. The whole time, I felt like an outsider.”
Shen Zhilie caressed her jaw gently and continued, “Including when I made love to you last night…”
His use of the words “made love” made Ye Qianqian stiffen. Goosebumps rose all over her skin, and her ears turned red.
“I felt as if I were raping you rather than f*cking my woman.”
Ye Qianqian rested her hand on his waist gently and asked, “What made you think that?”
“Ye Qianqian, I’m utterly and irrevocably in love with you.” Shen Zhilie held her hand tightly as he looked deeply into her eyes. He replied, “I had no idea how you truly felt about me, but I still took the ring out for the last time. If you agreed to marry me, we’d be together forever. If you didn’t…”
“What would you do?”
“I’d go back.” Shen Zhilie held her by her chin and brought his face close to hers. “I’d never come back to Kingstown again. I would have never seen you again.”
Shen Zhilie gazed at her. The expression in his eyes was somber.
Ye Qianqian’s heart twisted in panic.
“So, this was the last time.” Ye Qianqian cupped his face in her hands. Raising herself on tiptoes, she kissed him on the lips. “Let’s get married,” she said.
Shen Zhilie’s heart soared. His arms circled her waist. He backed her against the wall and fulfilled his uncontrollable desire for her.
The couple tumbled around on the mattress for a long time before finally stopping.
Ye Qianqian was late for work without a valid reason yet again.
The chief editor stood at the entrance of the office with an ugly expression and yelled, “Ye Qianqian! You’re going from bad to worse! Do you even know what you’ve done? Just count for yourself how many times you’ve been late this month! Don’t you even know how many days you’ve taken off from work? Your work isn’t even finished! How do you expect me to pay your salary at the rate you’re going?”
Ye Qianqian didn’t dare say a word and lowered her head.
The chief editor grew even more infuriated looking at Ye Qianqian’s demeanor and said, “Don’t think for a moment that just because you were outstanding in your past achievements you can do as you please! Plenty of people are outstanding in their achievements! Don’t assume that just because you’ve fallen out of love, I won’t be able to do anything to you!”
Ye Qianqian swallowed nervously and said, “Well, the things is… I’ve patched things up with him.”
“You’ve patched things up?” the chief editor questioned in disbelief. “Didn’t you tell me that you’d broken up?”
“Ahem… Yeah. But, that doesn’t mean we couldn’t make up…”
“You went to him on your own accord?”
“Um… He came to look for me yesterday.” Ye Qianqian’s face was quite red as she glanced up at her boss.
The chief editor took one look at the evident love-bite on her neck and immediately understood.
The chief editor’s expression turned dark. “Did you guys shag and make up?”
“Ahem…”
The chief editor saw the expression on Ye Qianqian’s face and knew the answer. Pointing at the door in annoyance, she said, “Get the hell away from me!”
