Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Qianqian suddenly remembered her noodles and quickly looked down. “Ah! My noodles!” she lamented.

As she looked down, Ye Qianqian suddenly thought that the person Fang Tongtong had described resembled Shen Zhilie very much.

He loved to smile and looked very handsome whenever he smiled.

He liked body-building and had a very fit physique...

Every description fit Shen Zhilie to a T!

However, Ye Qianqian immediately rejected that notion with a laugh.

That had to be a coincidence.

Ye Qianqian picked up her chopsticks and took a huge mouthful of noodles.

Fang Tongtong stared at Ye Qianqian as she ate, feeling nervous and excited at the same time.

She felt as if she had just done something bad.

Simultaneously, Fang Tongtong felt herself being drawn into the emotions and could not seem to extricate herself from them.

It was exciting...

–

After finishing her noodles, Ye Qianqian sat on the couch and fiddled with her cellphone.

However, her mind couldn’t stop replaying the scene moments before where Fang Tongtong was describing her boyfriend.

They were both doctors, and they looked alike. As for the injury sustained at work...

Regardless of how busy Shen Zhilie had been in the past, he would always let her know where he was. The other day, Shen Zhilie had suddenly sprung the news that he was going to the Capital. He hadn’t even returned to pack his bags. That was definitely hasty on his part.

Shen Zhilie. Shen Zhilie.

After successively losing a few times at a random game, Ye Qianqian turned off her cellphone screen and looked at her teacup in a daze.

It was fine when she had ignored it. Now that she started thinking about it, she couldn’t stop.

There were some details that couldn’t withstand scrutiny.

Once she considered them seriously, what seemed like nothing moments ago suddenly felt fishy.

Ye Qianqian picked up her cellphone up. After a moment’s thought, she gave Shen Zhilie a call.

The call connected quickly. Shen Zhilie seemed to be watching television. She could hear the television in the background.

“What are you doing?” Ye Qianqian asked.

“Nothing much. Just being bored.”

“Oh...” Ye Qianqian’s heartbeat quickened for some strange reason. “Do you have nothing to do at home in the Capital?”

“Yeah. It’s boring beyond belief, but my grandma refuses to let me go back to Kingstown. She keeps insisting that I stay for a few more days...”

“Why don’t I come to Kingstown to see you? Haven’t you been wanting me to meet your parents and your grandmother? I think I’m ready now.” Ye Qianqian’s heart was thumping wildly. She nervously held her breath.

She thought Shen Zhilie would happily and eagerly agree to it.

Weirdly, Shen Zhilie did not immediately react.

He hesitated for a moment before replying, “They’ve been quite busy lately. My brother’s problems have had the whole family in a mess. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to come at such a time.”

Ye Qianqian was disappointed. She had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. She asked, “Did Shen Manting return?”

Shen Zhilie paused for a moment before saying, “Yeah.”

“Is she pregnant?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, coincidentally, I haven’t seen Shen Manting in a long while. I’d like to visit her.”

Shen Zhilie began to panic. His grip tightened around his phone. He thought for a moment and answered, “It’s up to you. But I have to warn you that Shen Manting hasn’t been very emotionally stable lately, and the family is in a mess. If you come, I may not be able to take care of you. My grandmother and parents are also currently preoccupied...”

In other words, he didn’t want her to go.

Disappointment washed over Ye Qianqian. “Alright, then. I’ll come some other time.”

Following that, as they chatted about something random, Ye Qianqian felt that something was wrong. After disconnecting the call, she leaned back on the couch.

It wasn’t supposed to turn out like that.

By right, Shen Zhilie would have bulldozed his way through all the obstacles and welcomed her with open arms no matter what.

Had everything he said just been an excuse?
