The 99th Divorce

Shen Zhilie received the food and signed his acknowledgment on the receipt before strolling back in. He placed the food on the table.

He had ordered a pizza and two glasses of fruit juice. They had all been chosen according to Ye Qianqian’s tastes.

Shen Zhilie looked at the food and paused for a moment.

He thought of Ye Qianqian’s recent words. “I wouldn’t exactly call you a player. I just feel that you’re not the focused and single-minded sort. Hence, your love life is probably very colorful. After all, you…”

After all, he what?

After all, he was already in his late 20s?

Why couldn’t he bring her home? Why couldn’t he introduce her to his parents?

Normally, if a woman was willing to give her virginity away, didn’t that mean she was willing to be with the man?

If she was indeed willing, why did she not want to go back with him to the Capital to meet his parents and family?

Shen Zhilie could feel a ball of fiery anger burning inside. At the same time, he was feeling upset.

Judging from Ye Qianqian’s attitude moments ago, as well as her attitude when he had made the trip to Yun Town…

She probably had never intended to marry him.

Shen Zhilie sat on the couch. His heart felt utterly defeated.

Just what aspect of him wasn’t good enough?

Was he not handsome enough? Were his abilities not enough?

That couldn’t be it. In the Capital, just the mere mention that his name was Shen Zhilie was sufficient for hordes of women to agree to marry him.

Why was Ye Qianqian so disagreeable to it?

She had no reason to reject him at all!

Shen Zhilie couldn’t help but realize that even from the start, he had always been the one making the first move. He was the only one maintaining the relationship.

Other than making the first move in bed tonight, Ye Qianqian had always been acting in response to his initiatives.

Shen Zhilie’s mind was in turmoil. The thoughts in his mind were enough to torture him and drive him crazy.

Just what on earth were Ye Qianqian’s intentions?

It was a long while before Shen Zhilie finally got up and walked to the bedroom door.

He tried to open it and realized that it had been locked from the inside.

He knocked on the door twice and called out, “Are you hungry? Come out and have something to eat.”

Ye Qianqian was huffing and puffing under the blanket.

When she heard his call, her stomach began to rumble in response.

F*ck!

What reason did she have to torture herself?

After all, Shen Zhilie was the crazy one, not her.

Ye Qianqian flung the covers away and opened the door.

Shen Zhilie was standing by the door. When he noticed her incensed face, he felt a lot calmer.

At the very least, he wasn’t the only one having a hard time.

Ye Qianqian walked out barefoot. Her stomach rejoiced when she saw the pizza on the table.

She headed to the bathroom to wash her hands before opening the bottle of fruit juice and drinking from it thirstily.

Shen Zhilie watched her and rubbed his head.

He walked over and sat by her side. “Ye Qianqian,” he said.

Ye Qianqian refused to acknowledge him. She put on a pair of gloves before picking up a slice of pizza and munching on it happily.

Unfortunately, the pizza was still piping hot. Ye Qianqian couldn’t hold on to it for a long. She quickly placed it back.

“Do you have some misunderstandings with regards to me?”

“Misunderstandings? Not at all.” Ye Qianqian picked up the pizza again and took a bite. “It’s a little hot. Have you washed your hands?”

“No,” Shen Zhilie replied. “I get the feeling that you might have misunderstood something. I did have a few girlfriends before this, but those relationships were just for fun. None of them lasted for more than three months. Later on, I liked Yu Lili, but that was because I admired her. Nothing I felt for her is comparable to what we have.”

Ye Qianqian looked at him as she munched on her pizza.

Shen Zhilie was hungry too. The sight of her eating was enough to whet his appetite.

He moved closer and continued, “You said that my love life is colorful. To be honest, it isn’t all that colorful. You might not believe me, but before I met you, all the other girls were barely passable options.”

Ye Qianqian pursed her lips before taking her last bite. “I don’t believe you,” she said.

Shen Zhilie was speechless.
