Chapter 1499 - Caught A Big Fish
By the time Youyou’s grandfather reached the dining table, Ye Youyou was already seated there. Her clothes were neat and neutral colors, but she looked to be in good spirits.
She apportioned the breakfast into bowls and picked one up. She blew at the surface to cool the food down before walking over to her grandfather.
When he saw Youyou, a smile appeared on his face. “Youyou.”
Ye Youyou replied to him, and his smile widened.
After breakfast, Ye Youyou took the old man out for a walk. When she got back, Ye Zhenhua chased her off.
Li Jinnan’s car was parked in one of the public car parks in Yun Town. It was quite a distance away from Ye Youyou’s family home.
Ye Youyou was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, along with a comfortable pair of sneakers. Compared to most of the locals in Yun Town, her skin was a lot more fair. With Li Jinnan’s outstanding build and demeanor, they attracted many eyes on their walk to the car.
“Hey, isn’t that Qianqian?”
“I don’t think so. Qianqian isn’t that tall. But, they do look very much alike. Who’s the guy?”
“He’s so handsome! That is Ye Qianqian! I just saw her coming out of Uncle Zhenhua’s home with my own two eyes! There’s no mistake.”
There were many eyes on them, and even more talk surrounding them. Although Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou were aware of it, they didn’t mind.
They got into the car. When the crowd saw the car emerge from the parking lot, they were awestruck. “Wow! It’s a Bentley!”
“He’s so rich!”
“Ye Qianqian has caught a big fish!”
…
“Achoo!” Ye Qianqian was sitting in the office minding her own business when she suddenly felt a cold gust of wind blow past and she shivered. “It’s so cold! Could you turn up the air conditioning please?”
“My dear lady, it’s already 78 degrees,” a colleague beside her remarked. “Did you catch a cold last night?”
“Not at all!” Ye Qianqian stood up just as the bell signaling the end of the workday chimed, releasing the workers from their desks. “I’m getting out of here. It’s too cold!”
Before she could get past the office door, she heard her phone ring. She held it up. The caller was someone who hadn’t called in a long time.
Upon seeing the name of the caller, Ye Qianqian was answered the call in surprise, “Hello?”
“Hello, long time no see,” Shen Zhilie said. “Where are you?”
“I’m at the office. I’m just about to go for dinner… Achoo!” Ye Qianqian’s nose was itching, and she couldn’t contain her sneeze.
Shen Zhilie whistled and said, “I think you might need some medications. Come on, if you have a cold, you should eat something hot. How about some hot pot?”
“No way,” Ye Qianqian said. “I’m not having hot pot in such hot weather. Are you crazy?”
“What do you feel like eating, then?” Shen Zhilie was driving and headed toward the office of Eurasian Comics. “I’ll leave it up to you.”
“I want to eat something expensive,” Ye Qianqian said. “Get me a treat with some meat sauce noodles.”
Shen Zhilie was amused. “Could you please be a little more ambitious?”
“Shredded pork in bean sauce, then. I’m not picky,” Ye Qianqian replied.
Shen Zhilie was at a loss for words. He made a U-turn and saw her walking out of the office, so he sounded the horn. Ye Qianqian looked over before walking to the car.
She got into the car without any hesitation and asked, “Where did you get this car from? And, what are you doing in Kingstown?”
“Uh huh, I’ve been transferred to the hospital in Kingstown,” Shen Zhilie said. “This car is provided by the hospital. In the future, you can come and see me anytime.”
“Tch… No way. Yours is a specialist hospital that requires a referral. I’m not going to add on to your ego,” Ye Qianqian said as she buckled her seatbelt.
Shen Zhilie chuckled. “Fine. Don’t come then. Besides, knowing you, I’ll be content enough as long as you don’t drive anyone crazy. I don’t expect to be earning a single cent from you. Have you decided on what to eat yet?”
“Hot pot,” Ye Qianqian said. “Oh, right! I think Youyou’s back. Let me give her a call and see if she would like to join us.”
