The 99th Divorce

Gu Yuansheng knew that Shen Zhilie was about to come after him.

He instinctively took a step back and cleared his throat. He said, “Brother Shen, I did this for your benefit! Look! I even had this lady bring some clean clothes over for you.”

As he spoke, he pulled the bag over.

The clothes inside came tumbling out and landed in a heap on the floor.

Fang Tongtong was a little embarrassed. “I took them all from the luggage bag. Last night, Qianqian packed a few sets of clothes for you and placed them in a small luggage bag. I simply opened the bag and moved the clothes over. Since I was in a rush, I scooped them up at random. Honestly, I have no idea what’s inside.”

“Qianqian prepared this for me?” Shen Zhilie stared at the pile of clothes. His heart began to soar.

Gu Yuansheng listened with a mixture of envy and jealousy, “Brother Shen, you’re so lucky! Yet, you still won’t let your girlfriend know! Oh my god, if she were to find out, she’d be heartbroken!”

Ironically, Shen Zhilie felt quite happy hearing that. He did have a place in Ye Qianqian’s heart.

Even though he hadn’t returned last night, she had still prepared some clothes and daily necessities for him.

However, if Ye Qianqian were to ever find out that he was lying to her…

Shen Zhilie sighed again. “Let’s give it a few more days. I’ll let her know when I’m almost recovered. She’s been very busy lately and missed work for a few days too. I can’t have her taking more leave for my sake.”

Most importantly, he didn’t want her to worry.

He turned his gaze to Fang Tongtong and said, “You’d better go back. Don’t tell her anything about this. Just pretend you don’t know anything.”

Fang Tongtong’s brows knitted together in a frown. “How am I supposed to do that?” she retorted. “If I know about it, I know about it. If I don’t, I don’t! It’s fine if you don’t want me to tell Qianqian anything about this. She is, after all, quite sensitive, and she’ll definitely be upset if she were to find out about this.”

“Yeah.”

Shen Zhilie knew Ye Qianqian well. Fang Tongtong knew her even better.

Although Ye Qianqian was usually boisterous and uninhibited, her heart was a lot softer than most other peoples’.

“Why don’t you go back to Yun Town?” Shen Zhilie straightforwardly suggested. “That way, you won’t have to hide anything from Ye Qianqian against your conscience.”

When Fang Tongtong heard that, she became vexed. “Are you seriously telling me to leave you here on your own in the current state you’re in?”

“I have a whole bunch of colleagues here. This is my territory, so what is there to worry about?” Shen Zhilie found it laughable. “Alright, enough. This has nothing to do with you anymore. You should go back.”

“No. Qianqian has been busy lately, and she thinks you’ve gone back to the Capital. I’ve been lazing around all day. Now that I know the state you’re in, I’ll take care of you. The hard work will be done by your colleagues anyway. I’ll just do stuff like bring you some food and pour you your water.”

“That’s a great idea!” Gu Yuansheng immediately piped up. “In any case, Brother Shen, you’re only able to lie down at the moment. It would be good to have Xiao Fang keep you company and chat with you.”

“Damn you. No way. It’s improper for men and women to interact too closely. She’s a single woman. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to be taking care of a man like me. No.”

“Oh my god. Why are you such a prude? She isn’t even complaining, so why are you?” Gu Yuansheng retorted. “Don’t you agree, Xiao Fang?” “Exactly! I don’t mind at all! You’re my BFF’s boyfriend. Relieving my best friend’s burden is part of my responsibility.”
