The 99th Divorce

Lao Zhou couldn’t understand, and, as he listened to the busy tone from the other end of the line, he felt that Shen Zhilie was being ridiculous.

Now that that girl has come knocking at your door, isn’t it obvious enough that her intention is to reconcile? Yet this guy decides to be cocky?

…

After Shen Zhilie hung up the call, he stared fixedly at his cellphone and didn’t continue to eat his food.

Ye Qianqian actually went to look for me in the hospital? Could it be that she’s gotten over it and had a change of mind? But why didn’t she call me or even drop me a text or WeChat message?

Shen Zhilie found it slightly odd, and he grazed his phone with his thumbs with mixed feelings. He could clearly feel an uncontrollable sense of happiness bubbling within his heart, and it was a sense of jubilation that was hard to put a finger on. However, he was also worried that it was his own wishful thinking and that he would be rejected if he called her so abruptly.

Shen Zhilie was a little nervous, and before he could act out his thoughts, someone called him. “Doctor Shen.”

“Huh?” Shen Zhilie lifted his head and looked up.

A pretty, young girl, who appeared to be slightly over twenty years old, had walked in with a lunchbox in her hands. She wore a huge grin on her face as she said, “Doctor Shen, thank you so much for what happened earlier. If it hadn’t been for you, I really wouldn’t have known what to do. Women like that are the most troublesome…”

“You have to settle such matters by yourself next time. I could help you out with such a thing once, but not a second time. I’ve had my share of women like that, and the key is that if a young girl like you has no idea what to say, then she shouldn’t speak so casually.”

The young girl stuck out her tongue and replied, “It’s my fault. But you’re really something. You made that woman shut up with just a few words. I really look up to you!”

When Shen Zhilie heard this, he snorted and turned his head aside as he said, “You can save your boot-licking. Hurry back to work after you’ve finished your meal.”

“I’m saying this for real. I really idolize you. Look how capable you are, and you’re also good looking, too. Don’t you even allow others to speak the truth?” The more the young girl spoke, the redder her face became.

However, Shen Zhilie had a disdainful look on his face. With his head lowered, he continued to eat and replied, “Just bury such honest words in your heart. I’ll be proud if you say what you’re really thinking out loud.”

The young girl burst into laughter before she looked up at Shen Zhilie and asked, “Doctor Shen, I heard that you’ve broken up with your girlfriend?”

When Shen Zhilie heard this, he threw her a harsh look. “Those brats were gossiping behind my back again, weren’t they? I knew that they would definitely stir things up and speak nonsense.”

When the young girl heard his reply, the smile on her face drooped slightly, and she said, “So you guys didn’t break up?”

Shen Zhilie looked up and replied, a forced smile on his face, “Why? Are you hoping that I’ll break up with her?”

“Why would I? Ultimately, you have to be happy. But since things are going well between you guys, why did you change her contact name in your phone?”

When Shen Zhilie heard what she said, he stopped eating for a moment and lifted his head to look at her. There was a sharp look in his eyes. “How did you know?”

The girl appeared rather guilty when she heard this, and she instantly said, “I saw it by accident once.”

“How did you see it?” Shen Zhilie placed his chopsticks down and pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

“I…”

“You looked through my phone?”

“No, your phone is password encrypted, so how could I manage to look through it?”

“How do you know that my phone is password encrypted?”
