Chapter 1507 - Dimwitted
The 99th Divorce
Ye Qianqian was drinking when Shen Zhilie said that. She suddenly choked on her beer and began coughing violently The beer in her mouth came spraying out and landed on the dishes on the table in front of them.
Shen Zhilie couldnât bear to keep looking. He pulled a piece of tissue out and handed it to her, saying, âYou should have been more careful.â
Ye Qianqian took the tissue from him and asked, âAre you f*cking crazy? How can we live together?â
âWhy not? Itâs not like weâll be sharing a room anyway.â Shen Zhilie looked her up and down in disdain. âDonât worry, I have no interest in you. Itâs just that itâs been too hard to find a place, and your home is coincidentally near the hospital. That makes it perfect. Iâll be able to sleep in a little more in the mornings.â
Ye Qianqian laughed mockingly, âArenât you rich? Just rent an apartment of your own in the same compound.â
âThatâs troublesome,â Shen Zhilie said. âIâd still have to go shopping for furniture, décor, and a whole lot of other miscellaneous stuff. If I were to go straight to your place, everything there is what you use. At the very least, itâll be clean.â
âThat does make sense. After all, there arenât many people in this world that are as much of a stickler for cleanliness as I am,â Ye Qianqian mused aloud. âBut, I still think that it isnât very appropriate for us to be living together. After all, you used to be my sisterâs brother-in-law. Things will get so awkward if my sister were to come over.â
âWhatâs wrong with that? Itâll be fine. Youâre worried about that?â Shen Zhilie took a bite of the meat skewer and commented contemptuously, âI thought you werenât afraid of anything! Yet, youâre afraid of awkwardness?â
âItâs you Iâm worried about,â Ye Qianqian said. âIâm afraid itâll get awkward for you.â
âItâs fine. I donât mind.â Shen Zhilie grinned. âItâs settled then. Iâve been living in a hotel lately. Itâs so inconvenient.â
âWhat? Youâre living in a hotel?â Ye Qianqian was shocked. âYour hospital even arranged for you to have your own car. Why didnât they arrange for you to live in the employee dormitories?â
âThe living standards of the employee dormitories are horrible! Itâs so crowded, and itâs stinky and dirty. I couldnât take it.â Shen Zhilie handed her a lamb skewer. âI end work early, at around 5 p.m. I can do the grocery shopping and cooking, and you can have dinner when you get back.â
Ye Qianqianâs eyes lit up. That is a huge advantage indeed!
Although Shen Zhilieâs cooking wasnât as good as Yu Liliâs, it was still leaps and bounds better than hers.
âWell, Iâm not paying for the groceries. You can treat that as your rental payment.â Ye Qianqian didnât bother standing on ceremony and took a bite out of her lamb skewer. âYou have to remember to purchase all the miscellaneous stuff too. Washing detergent, paper towels, and everything else in between. You have to remember that. In the past, it used to be Lili who bought it, then it was Youyou. I... Iâm very busy!â
Shen Zhilie laughed. âJust admit that youâre dimwitted. Donât give me excuses that youâre busy and all that!â
âRegardless, Iâm still busier than you! Youâve now risen to the f*cking top and can afford to relax. Iâm still struggling at the bottom rung of the ladder!â Ye Qianqian bit off a huge chunk of meat and washed it down with beer. âBesides, this is what you should be doing anyway! Iâm the homeowner, and that makes me your landlady!â
âAlright, alright! Whatever you say! Eat up!â Shen Zhilie shoved another skewer into her hand and snatched her beer bottle away. âDrink less.â
âWhat the h*ll do you know? Drinking a little alcohol is good for the skin. Look at how good my skin is! Itâs soft and smooth.â Ye Qianqian complimented herself as she stroked her face.
âThatâs because your face is oily,â Shen Zhilie plainly stated.
Ye Qianqian glared at him and decided to ignore him after that.
After finishing the skewers, Ye Qianqian could hardly walk. Her stomach was filled to the brim. She held Shen Zhilieâs arm for support all the way to the car.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When they reached her home, Ye Qianqian thought that Shen Zhilie would return to the hotel. Unexpectedly, he took out a luggage from the car trunk and said, âLetâs go.â
Ye Qianqianâs jaw hit the floor. âYou had it all prepared already?â
