The 99th Divorce

There was a very handsome lad.

Gu Yuansheng spotted Fang Tongtong and introduced himself, “Hello. I’m Gu Yuansheng.”

Fang Tongtong reacted immediately and nodded her head. “Oh, hi. I’m Fang Tongtong, spelled T-0-N-G.”

Gu Yuansheng chuckled. He saw the black bag in her hands and asked, “Are those Brother Shen’s clothes? Let me help you with them.”

“Yeah. I just took a few pieces at random. I have no idea what he usually wears. I’m just staying at their place temporarily.” Fang Tongtong handed the bag over.

Gu Yuansheng brought Fang Tongtong to the hospital room that Shen Zhilie was in. Shen Zhilie was on a drip and receiving an anti-inflammatory treatment.

His face was pale. He sat on the bed as he looked at his cellphone. When Shen Zhilie heard the door open, he raised his head and looked up. The sight of Fang Tongtong entering made him jump out of his skin.

“Why are you here?” Shen Zhilie asked in shock as he quickly rose from the bed.

That movement suddenly caused him to suck in a breath.

Fang Tongtong hadn’t expected to see Shen Zhilie in this state and was stunned. She observed his unusually pale complexion and was horrified.

Fang Tongtong moved her gaze and looked at Shen Zhilie’s arm.

His arm was wrapped tightly in bandages, but blood had seeped out from the wound. It was obvious that the injury was extremely severe.

“How did you get yourself into this state?” Fang Tongtong asked. “This looks horrible! If Ye Qianqian were to see this, she’d be so brokenhearted! No… I have to call Qianqian. This situation you’re in is too terrifying.”

As Fang Tongtong spoke, she took her cellphone out and found Ye Qianqian’s number. She made a move to press the call button.

Shen Zhilie was taken aback and quickly protested, “No! Don’t call her! Dr. Gu, stop her quickly! You’re not to call my woman!”

Gu Yuansheng had not expected this woman to be so quick in her actions. She had barely been there for a few moments and was already picking up her phone.

When he saw how Shen Zhilie was panicking, he rushed up to stop Fang Tongtong. He said, “Miss Fang, please don’t do that. It’s precisely because Brother Shen doesn’t want his girlfriend to find out that I chose to tell you about it instead. If you do this, won’t I be the one to get into trouble?”

Gu Yuansheng’s pleaded earnestly, “Miss Fang, please, please, please, do not act rashly.”

With her phone held immobile by Gu Yuansheng, Fang Tongtong looked at the state Shen Zhilie was in and said, “Qianqian will be worried.” “Qianqian doesn’t know that I’m injured, does she? You didn’t tell her anything, did you?” Shen Zhilie got up from the bed. His arm was painfully throbbing. “I didn’t tell her anything. But given the state you are in, we can’t keep this from her!” Fang Tongtong disagreed with Shen Zhilie. With his arm this badly injured, he needed someone to take care of him.

“I can’t. I told her that I was going to the Capital. If I tell her now that I was lying to her, won’t she hate me?”

“If I don’t say anything, Qianqian will hate me too!”

“It’s not the same for you. You’re her best friend. You mean a lot to her. Regardless of the circumstances, she will never break up with you!” Shen Zhilie reasoned.

Fang Tongtong was dumbstruck. “You’re worried that she’ll break up with you?”

Shen Zhilie remained silent.

“Don’t worry. That’s impossible! Although Qianqian may not say it, she really likes you very much. I’d even venture so far as to say it’s love. There’s no way she’ll break up with you.”

Shen Zhilie observed Fang Tongtong’s actions and was silent for a moment. “No,” he finally said, “you should go back. Just pretend that you don’t know about it. Gu Yuansheng, come here.”
