The 99th Divorce

Shen Zhilie’s hands were slightly cold, and Ye Qianqian shrunk back.

It seemed that Shen Zhilie also felt it, because he moved his hands back, then held her waist and lifted her up.

Ye Qianqian let out a shriek, but before she could react, she was thrown onto the bed by Shen Zhilie.

Since there was no one living in the room, the sheets, quilts, and pillows had all been put away somewhere else. There was only a mattress left on the bed.

Ye Qianqian thought it was kind of strange, but Shen Zhilie didn’t notice. He leaned against her, his fingers running through her hair as he kissed her gently.

“Mmm…”

Ye Qianqian twisted and turned her head to the side, gasping for breath. “We should make the bed first,” she said.

“Oh…” Shen Zhilie was a little reluctant to do so.

Shen Zhilie was unwilling to stand up, so Ye Qianqian gently pinched him on his waist.

There were clean bed linens in the cabinet. After Shen Zhilie grabbed some, Ye Qianqian brought them over and removed them from the dust bag they were inside.

Shen Zhilie removed the dust sheets from the other furniture in the room, and when that was done, they got quite busy with the chores at hand.

After some time, they finally finished making the bed. After the quilt and pillows were put in place, Ye Qianqian was sweating all over.

Since they were in the North, there was indoor heating. Ye Qianqian hadn’t even taken off her winter coat since she came in, and after all this work, her face was red and sweaty.

She unzipped her coat, but it was still considerably hot, so she also took off her sweater. All she had left on was a white, close-fitting, long-sleeve T-shirt.

Suddenly, she noticed a pair of wolf-like eyes in the nearby mirror. Ye Qianquian turned around just before she was swooped up and pushed onto the bed.

“Oh…” Ye Qianqian tried to reach out her hands but was pinned down before she had time to struggle.

Shen Zhilie hungrily gnawed at her mouth for a while. Then, his hands started to move toward the lower part of her body. But just as he lifted up her dress, they heard a knock on the door.

Ye Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes and forcefully pushed Shen Zhilie away.

Shen Zhilie glanced at the ceiling and sighed helplessly. After straightening his clothes, he got up and opened the door.

Old Mrs. Shen was standing at the door. She looked at Shen Zhilie and said, “It’s time for dinner.”

“So early?” Shen Zhilie wondered if the old lady had knocked at such an inconvenient time on purpose.

“It’s not early. It’s five fifty. If I didn’t think you could manage to finish in ten minutes, I wouldn’t have come here to call you for dinner.”

Shen Zhilie was shocked by what she said. “Grandma, what are you saying?”

Ye Qianqian’s face turned red, and she shrank into the corner of the room.

“What did I do?” the old lady groaned. “I’m sure you’ve finished cleaning after being in there for so long. If you can’t tidy up an entire room in ten minutes, then please finish up after you’re done eating.”

Shen Zhilie was speechless. He thought she had meant something else…

Ye Qianqian’s face was even redder than his. She closed her eyes in grave embarrassment.

Awful…

She thought the old lady knew what they were doing just now. It was so humiliating.

Shen Zhilie smacked his lips and said, “I see. Why don’t you let us clean up a bit more?”

“Hmph. Hurry up.” The old lady said, then turned around and left.

Ye Qianqian had already put her sweater back on. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed that her lips were a little swollen from earlier.

She licked her lips a couple of times and used her fingers to massage them, trying to make them look more normal.

“Time for dinner.”

Shen Zhilie agreed, but he lay down instead.
