“...That was indeed a pretty horrible thing to say,” Ye Qianqian quipped.

However, Shen Zhilie wasn’t a horrible person. He must have been terribly angry to have said something like that.

Ye Qianqian guiltily stole a glance at Shen Zhilie before she lowered her head to eat, not saying another word.

Shen Zhilie continued eating and said, “In any case, I don’t really like her. If not for the fact that she’s your best friend, I would have driven her out a long time ago.”

His voice still carried a hint of resentment. He looked at Ye Qianqian unhappily and continued, “You, on the other hand, personally welcomed the wolf into your lair and maligned me after that. I will remember that for the rest of my life.”

Ye Qianqian’s guilty conscience reared its head, and she stealthily glanced at Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie looked very upset, and his eating had even slowed down.

Ye Qianqian saw this and mumbled, “You’re a grown man. Why do you have to be so petty?”

“What did you say?” Shen Zhilie looked even more displeased.

“All right, all right!” Ye Qianqian grabbed his hand imploringly. “I’ve already admitted that I was wrong. What more do you want? Didn’t I already admit my mistake? Look at how well I behave now! I’m practically an angel!”

Ye Zhenhua scoffed and gave Ye Qianqian a disdainful look when he heard her say that. “You’re certainly shameless enough,” he remarked as he continued with his meal.

Ye Qianqian stuck her tongue out at him and turned to look pitifully at Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie wasn’t genuinely angry to begin with, and when he saw Ye Qianqian’s demeanor, his expression lightened, and he said, “All right. It’s all in the past.”

Ye Qianqian finally heaved a sigh of relief, and commented smilingly, “Hubby is the best!”

Hubby...

Their marriage hadn’t yet come to pass, and suddenly hearing that word made Shen Zhilie giddy with delight.

His spirits instantly soared, but he kept a straight face and grunted in reply.

Ye Qianqian easily saw though him, and with a giggle, she went back to eating her food.

After lunch, Shen Zhilie escorted Ye Qianqian all the way to the huge banyan tree in front of Fang Tongtong’s shop and specifically instructed, “When you’re ready to go home, remember to drop me a message or give me a call. I’ll come pick you up. You’re not to go back on your own.”

“Got it!” Ye Qianqian pushed him on his way. “Hurry home to do the dishes!”

Shen Zhilie had no other choice. He walked off, turning back every few steps to look at her.

Only then did Ye Qianqian walk past the big banyan tree and make her way to Fang Tongtong’s door. It sounded lively inside, and there were many young people walking in and out.

There were several motorcycles parked at the entrance, and a few young men and women were leaning against their motorcycles while smoking and joking with each other. They looked stylish and youthful.

Ye Qianqian walked over. The group glanced at her, but didn’t pay her any further attention. On the contrary, Fang Tongtong, who was seated inside, had her eyes on Ye Qianqian the whole time.

Only when Ye Qianqian was right in front of her did she finally smile. “You’re here,” she remarked.

“Yeah, I’m here.”

“Mom!” Fang Tongtong yelled. “Qianqian’s here. Watch the shop for me!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“All right!” Mrs. Fang’s voice was loud, and it traveled all the way outside.

Mrs. Fang soon walked out. When she saw Ye Qianqian, she seemed very touched and said, “Qianqian, you’re here. Have a seat inside. I’ll take care of the shop.”

Fang Tongtong pulled Ye Qianqian by her hand without a second thought and said, “Come on. I have a present for you.”

Ye Qianqian instinctively looked down at her hand in Fang Tongtong’s, and an unidentifiable emotion came over her.

Fang Tongtong sensed Ye Qianqian’s gaze and laughed awkwardly before quickly releasing her hand. “Come,” she said.

Ye Qianqian followed her in.

The layout was familiar. It hadn’t changed much in all these years.

Inside was a warehouse and a small family home.
