Furthermore, Ye Qianqian had only seen Fang Tongtong twice since she was hospitalized.

She was unwilling to meet Fang Tongtong in person or to even offer her a word of comfort.

After Ye Qianqian came to know that Fang Tongtong’s condition had improved, she directly returned to Kingstown. Sometimes, Ye Qianqian also felt that she was a cold-hearted person.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t I even offer Fang Tongtong a word of comfort after such an incident happened to her, when we have been friends for many years? And yet I find it hard to part with a man like Shen Zhilie, whom I’ve known for less than a year, and whom I’ve been together with for less than three months.

Every time Ye Qianqian recalled how she had lost this man because of other people’s slanderous words that were meant to estrange their relations.h.i.+p, Ye Qianqian felt as though her heart was sliced into a thousand pieces.

At that very moment, when Ye Qianqian heard what Shen Zhilie had asked, she said, “This is probably fate.”

Shen Zhilie was at a lost for words and, after a long silence, he said, “Sorry to hear about this.”

Shen Zhilie truly felt a sense of pity. But he didn’t have any other thoughts beyond pity.

“I’m sorry,” Ye Qianqian said softly.

Shen Zhilie fell silent and waited for her to continue speaking.

“Let’s meet up,” Ye Qianqian said.

Shen Zhilie’s heart was instantly put to rest, and he suddenly felt as though he had caught hold of something.

“All right. When?” Shen Zhilie asked, pretending to remain calm.

“This weekend? I’ve taken too many days off lately, and there are quite a lot of things to do. I’ll head over to the capital to look for you on the weekends.”

“That’s not necessary,” Shen Zhilie replied softly.

Ye Qianqian’s heart tightened when she heard his reply, and she said, slightly anxiously, “It’s all right…”

“I’ll go to Kingstown.” Shen Zhilie’s voice was slightly soft and gentle, as if he were testing the waters carefully. “Time will be too tight for you if you come to the capital. Furthermore, you’re so busy with work, so it’ll be too taxing for you to come back and forth within just two days of time.”

“All right…”

“Meals and accommodations included?”

“Yeah,” Ye Qianqian agreed with a flushed face.

When the colleagues around Ye QIanqian looked over at her, they all saw her crimson red face, and they began to smile rather suggestively.

When Ye Qianqian noticed the eyes that were all looking at her, her face turned even redder. Fortunately, her colleagues were still some distance away from her, and they wouldn’t be able to hear her when she spoke.

She then replied softly into the phone, “I learned how to cook curry rice recently. I’ll cook for you when you’re back.”

Shen Zhilie’s lips curled up into a smile, and he replied dotingly in a soft voice, “All right.”

“I’ll head back to work, then. Hanging up.”

“Yeah.”

Ye Qianqian hung up the phone rather reluctantly, and, as she stared at the string of numbers on her cellphone, she decided to change his contact name to: ‘My ex-boyfriend whom I’m entangled with.’

Yes… He’s my ex-boyfriend for now. I’ll change it back if Shen Zhilie agrees to get back together with me someday and put the past behind us.

All of the unhappiness and uncomfortable feelings that Ye Qianqian had acc.u.mulated for so many days seemed to have been released, and she even felt more motivated to work.

Sissi was well known in the chat groups for being proud and cold, but she seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood that day. Not only did she talk more, she even sent out memes!

All of the partic.i.p.ants in the chat groups felt overwhelmed by her unexpected display of affection, and they immediately began to reflect upon themselves to check if this could be a ploy Sissi had devised to trick them into admitting any wrong that they had done to her.

Ye Qianqian: “…”

The amount of work that she had acc.u.mulated over many days could not be completed quickly, and Ye Qianqian worked overtime until 9 p.m. again, as she had antic.i.p.ated.

She took the night bus back home, and just when she had dragged her exhausted body home and opened the door to her house, she realized that the lights were on inside the house!
