The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1694: There Are Children Present!

Ye Qianqian turned her head when she heard that.

Shen Zhilie wasn’t looking at her. It was as if he had simply made that statement in passing.

Ye Qianqian tightened her lips into a thin line before looking away with an air of annoyance. “How shameless,” she commented. “Who’s going to marry you?”

“Ye Qianqian.”

Ye Qianqian turned back to face him. “What now?”

“Ye Qianqian’s going to marry me.” The smile on Shen Zhilie’s face widened. His exquisite and beautiful features carried a hint of yearning in them as he added, “That day will come.”

The golden rays of the sun shined on his face, making it seem as if he were bathing in golden light.

From afar, a church bell rang softly and slowly.

It was sacred and slow and accompanied by the singing of the religious devotees. Everything was unbelievably perfect.

Ye Qianqian stared at Shen Zhilie for a long while and her face gradually reddened. She finally said, “It’s still too early to talk about that now.”

“Not at all. Need I remind you how old you are? At 26, you’re close to becoming an old hag! Isn’t it embarrassing that you still aren’t married yet?”

Instantly, Ye Qianqian’s perfect picture was fed to the dogs.

Ye Qianqian clenched her fists and jaw. She turned to face him as she angrily scolded, “Shen Zhilie! Aren’t you already 27? I don’t see you married with two howling kids! Who are you to judge?”

Shen Zhilie turned his head away in faux disdain when he saw her reaction. He said, “Only leopard cubs and tiger cubs howl. How can you use such a word about human children? How uncouth.”

“D*mn! You’re always itching for the last word. If you have the guts to, bring me two cubs and we’ll see!”

“Sure.” Shen Zhilie pointed to a small boat in the distance.

Ye Qianqian looked in the direction Shen Zhilie was pointing. She found herself looking at a family of three.

A blonde little girl was leaning at the back of the boat looking at them. When she saw Shen Zhilie pointing at her, she laughed out loud and waved at them.

Ye Qianqian found her laughter infectious. She felt her heart go soft. She called out, “Hello!”

It was only then that the parents noticed them. They picked their child up and waved back at them as they tried to teach their daughter what to say.

They spoke in Italian, so Ye Qianqian couldn’t understand a word.

When she saw them smiling, she smiled and waved back at them, nonetheless.

“Do you know what they’re saying, given that you’re smiling at them?” Shen Zhilie interrupted her. He wrapped his arm around Ye Qianqian’s waist and waved at the little kid.

The parents of the child glanced at each other and said something among themselves before breaking out into laughter.

Ye Qianqian found their sudden laughter unsettling. She turned to Shen Zhilie and asked, “What are they laughing about?”

“They’re probably laughing about the fact that we’re acting and waving as if we’re old friends when we clearly don’t understand a word they’re saying.”

“I don’t think so. I think they’re laughing because they find us Chinese very good looking.”

Shen Zhilie leaned over and called out, “Ye Qianqian.”

“Yeah?”

“How are you this shameless?”

Ye Qianqian glared at him and gave him a pinch on his arm. “Are you rebelling?”

“Ouch!” Shen Zhilie howled in pain. “That hurts!”

“You deserved it, d*mn it.”

The child in front of them suddenly laughed even louder. Ye Qianqian turned to look and felt a little embarrassed. She yelled back at Shen Zhilie, “Look! Even the child is laughing at you!”

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhilie reached out and hooked Ye Qianqian’s face closer to his before planting a kiss right on her lip. “She’s laughing at you,” he said.

The kiss was so sudden that Ye Qianqian instinctively pushed him away and protested, “We’re right in the middle of a public waterway! And, there are little children present!”

“It’s fine. This is Italy. The little children are probably used to it by now.”

“Says whom?” Ye Qianqian turned her head back and saw that the other small boat had headed in a different direction. “Look! You’ve scared them off!”
