The 99th Divorce

When Ye Qianqian heard that, she straightened her back immediately and asked, “What business of it is yours whom I go out with! D*mn!”

With that, she reached out to push Shen Zhilie away forcefully and barked, “Move aside! You’re blocking my way!”

Shen Zhilie’s brows knitted tightly together as he caught a whiff of alcohol coming from her. He asked, “Is your guilty conscience acting up because you were out with some guy? Moreover, you’re dressed so nicely. Were you out on a date?”

When Ye Qianqian heard him, she actually felt a little sense of glee. She whirled around and fixed her eyes on him. “Did something happen today? How did your eyesight improve all of a sudden?”

Shen Zhilie snorted and rolled his eyes in response to her comment. He held her bag up and said, “One compliment from me and you’re up in the sky. Hey, what is this?”

As he spoke, he reached his hand into the opening of her handbag.

Ye Qianqian’s bag wasn’t closed. The vacation voucher for the five-day, six-night trip to Venice was clearly visible at the corner.

When she saw Shen Zhilie reaching for it, she suddenly panicked and stopped him right away. “Stop! What do you think you’re doing?”

Her words were spoken a moment too late. Shen Zhilie simply pulled the exposed corner of the ticket out. All the details were visible.

“Venice?”

Ye Qianqian was visibly panicking. She rushed up to retrieve her voucher. “Return it to me!” she hollered.

Shen Zhilie’s actions were quicker than hers, and he held it out of her reach. Taking advantage of his tall height, he held the ticket up and looked at the words on it.

“Second Prize for Eurasian Comics Anniversary Party…” Shen Zhilie read the words on the voucher aloud. A realization suddenly dawned upon him. He remarked, “Oh… No wonder! I was wondering why you were dressed up so formally today! It was the company anniversary celebration!”

Ye Qianqian was incensed and said, “Return it to me, you stinking dumbass!”

Shen Zhilie was immune to her insults by now. He simply acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing. Speaking aloud to himself, he said, “Ha ha ha! I knew a woman like you couldn’t have a date with a man! Given the kind of standard you have, it’s not going to be that easy to get out of singlehood. Ha ha ha ha!”

Shen Zhilie teased her without pulling any punches. Ye Qianqian was furious.

She wasn’t very tall, just the average height of a typical Southern girl. As she looked at Shen Zhilie’s obnoxious face, she immediately jumped up.

Shen Zhilie saw that and immediately took a step back to dodge her, but he was too late. Ye Qianqian kicked his knees forcefully. He lost his balance and tumbled back. His bottom landed right on the couch. He was stunned into a stupor.

Ye Qianqian took the opportunity to take her voucher back. She turned and angrily glared at Shen Zhilie before giving him a hard kick. “With such a sharp tongue, it’s no wonder that you’re still single! What the hell!”

With that, she turned and left.

When Shen Zhilie saw how livid Ye Qianqian looked, he started laughing. He felt a little helpless and embarrassed.

He haltingly asked, “Are you really angry?”

He could not tell if Ye Qianqian had heard him or not. When she got to her room, she deliberately and violently flung the door shut.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang. When Shen Zhilie saw that that, he had his answer. Regardless of whether she was really angry or merely faking it, it was a fact that she was in a bad mood.

He got up and used a towel to dry his hair. After weighing his words for a while, he finally went up to her door and knocked on it. He said, “Ahem, my dear Miss Qianqian. I kept some dinner for you. Do you want to eat it?”

It remained silent inside for one second… two seconds…
