The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1666: Boyfriend and Girlfriend

Ye Qianqian stared at him in disdain for asking the obvious.

When Shen Zhilie heard her question, he felt a little discomfited. He cleared his throat gently and said, “Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Upon making that statement, Shen Zhilie reached out to hold Ye Qianqian by her arm.

The sensation of suddenly being touched frightened Ye Qianqian and made her insides feel funny.

Shen Zhilie felt a little awkward too, but he couldn’t bring himself to ignore her injury.

He steeled himself and reached out to carry her in his arms.

Ye Qianqian’s first reaction was to struggle in protest, but she quickly changed her mind.

She stayed still in his arms and didn’t say a word.

As Ye Qianqian’s heartbeat began to quicken, she could feel her face heating up.

Shen Zhilie didn’t dare look at her either. Before he could open the front door, they heard the doorbell ring.

Upon opening the door, they found the staff from the estate management standing behind it.

“Hello...”

When he saw Shen Zhilie carrying a woman, the words that he had been about to utter dissipated. “What... What happened here?”

Shen Zhilie didn’t bother with pleasantries as he replied brusquely, “She fell and hurt herself in the shower when the lights went out.”

When the estate manager heard that, he immediately apologized. “I’m so sorry! This was an accident. All the lights on this level went out. I’m am so sorry.”

“That’s enough. I don’t have time to waste with you. I need to take her to the hospital.”

“Of course. Do you need any help? I have a car. I’ll be more than happy to take you and your girlfriend to the hospital. It’s on the way!”

Ye Qianqian turned her head and retorted, “Don’t spout rubbish! I’m not his girlfriend!”

The estate manager grew flustered when he heard that and asked, “Are you his sister?”

Didn’t they have different family names? One was Shen, and the other was Ye.

Moreover, these two individuals did not look like each other at all. How could they be siblings?

“No.” Shen Zhilie stepped forward as he replied, “Thank you for your trouble. Where is your car parked?”

“Oh, it’s in the basement. Let’s go together.”

“Sure.”

Shen Zhilie carried Ye Qianqian in his arms and quickly closed the door behind him before heading straight into the lift.

The atmosphere was uncomfortably quiet.

The estate manager could sense the awkwardness and laughed uneasily as he said, “Miss Ye has lived here for a long time. Never has something like that ever happened. Well, this is the first time.”

“The first time already badly injured me. If this were to recur a few more times, wouldn’t I die here?” Ye Qianqian could feel her blood boiling. “If I were to die, do you think your simple apology would be enough to appease me?”

Ye Qianqian’s words were very harsh. The estate manager felt very awkward. He replied, “I’m really sorry. Luckily, your boyfriend was around and discovered you in time. Otherwise, the symptoms would only worsen as time dragged on.”

What f*cking boyfriend was he talking about?

Ye Qianqian was about to speak when she heard Shen Zhilie open his mouth to reply, “Enough. It’s just good that everything’s fine now. Why are you so angry? All the residents on our level had their lights go out. It wasn’t just us.”

“That’s the responsibility of the estate managers! If they had conducted their maintenance regularly, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“Yes, you’re right. What happened today will never happen again.”

When Ye Qianqian heard how sincere he was in admitting his guilt, she didn’t feel good lashing out at him. She glared at Shen Zhilie instead and hollered, “It’s all your fault! If not for you, I wouldn’t have fallen out of the blue!”

“You’re blaming me again?” Shen Zhilie felt the injustice of the accusation. “You’re being unreasonable! So you fell! Who has never fallen before? How can you hold that against me?”

“I just want to! If you weren’t around, I wouldn’t have had to find my clothes. I would have been able to just exit the bathroom immediately! Dare you say I’m wrong?”
