The 99th Divorce

When Shen Zhilie saw Ye Qianqian’s response, it further affirmed his conjecture that it was highly possible that was what she thought in her heart.

With his teeth clenched, Shen Zhilie was beside himself with rage. His hands balled up into fists as he slammed the table and roared out in a low voice, “Ye Qianqian, what am I to you?”

While Shen Zhilie’s voice was not loud, the one solid punch he gave to the table was.

Many people around them turned to look over. When Ye Qianqian’s eyes scanned across the people around them, she felt her face burn up. She pulled Shen Zhilie’s arm and chided, “What are you doing? Do you want everyone to know we’re in an argument?”

“Well, then tell me what you mean!” Shen Zhilie’s expression continued to remain dark, but he lowered his voice slightly. “Let’s put it this way. You have wanted to break up with me a long time ago, so the incident with Fang Tongtong is merely an excuse.”

When Ye Qianqian heard that, she was instantly triggered. “You’re the one who f*cking cheated on me! Are you trying to pin the blame on me? Shen Zhilie, how can you be so shameless?”

Shen Zhilie’s face became ashen, and his expression became increasingly dark. “I did not. No matter how many times you say it, I did not do it. I don’t know what Fang Tongtong said to you, but even if 10 women like her approached me, the outcome would be the same. I don’t like her kind. I only like you.”

Ye Qianqian pursed her lips. “Tongtong told me that the feelings were mutual between the two of you and that you have common topics of interest when you’re together. Indeed, that was what I saw. You tow get along well. It seemed as if I was the third party who got between the two of you…”

“The feelings are mutual? We have common topics of interest?” Shen Zhilie sneered. “Other than how she tried to suck up to me, what other common topics do we have? Furthermore, if such a thing happened with every single girl I get along well with, I wouldn’t have survived until this age. Qianqian, that is an insult to my moral character.”

“Do you dare say you don’t like Fang Tongtong?”

“No!”

Ye Qianqian pursed her lips in silence. She lowered her head to take a sip of porridge before she pushed the steamed vermicelli roll over to Shen Zhilie without a word.

Shen Zhilie was famished. He had not had a proper meal in over a day. When he saw Ye Qianqian’s expression, his uneasy heart was finally put to rest.

He accepted the food and took his time to eat. Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian remained silent, but the unspoken chemistry meant something.

Shen Zhilie had made his point, and Ye Qianqian should understand.

She understood him like how he understood her.

Ye Qianqian was well aware of the truth in Shen Zhilie’s words.

Ultimately, there was nothing Shen Zhilie could get out of her.

That, of course, was aside from the sexual life they had been deprived of for days.

With what Shen Zhilie had to offer, as long as he made the offer, a countless number of girls would willingly pounce on him. He could easily have his pick.

Shen Zhilie chose Ye Qianqian. He chose to let down his pride, beg for forgiveness, be trusting, and try to suppress his anger to give her an explanation.

Things didn’t have to be like this.

It was because Ye Qianqian was aware of this that her heart sank.

Her bestie, who she had grown up with, had lied to her over a man.

Fang Tongtong never traveled out of Yun Town and didn’t have much exposure to modern society.

Yet, she could be so shrewd and devious. Fang Tongtong knew Ye Qianqian’s personality and character. She also had a good grasp of all of Ye Qianqian’s weaknesses.

She was aware that Ye Qianqian would lose her rationality because of Shen Zhilie’s lies, as well as her words.

Fang Tongtong was wrong about one thing. Ye Qianqian truly loved him. She loved Shen Zhilie.

He was her first man and, hopefully, her last.
