When she saw the complicated expression on her younger sister’s face, Ye Qianqian suddenly became aware.

The words she had just spoken seemed to a little inappropriate.

Ye Youyou wasn’t stupid. In fact, she was extremely smart.

Suddenly feeling very unsettled, Ye Qianqian laughed dryly and said, “Our workplaces are very close to each other. Hence, we often eat together. You don’t say! This guy’s cooking skills are pretty good! They are diametrically opposite from his looks!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing that comment, Shen Zhilie grew upset and immediately retorted, “Hey now, that comment was uncalled for! What’s wrong with my looks? I’m handsome, and I can cook! How does that offend you?”

Ye Qianqian silently patted herself on her back for effectively changing the subject.

Hearing Shen Zhilie’s words of obvious dissatisfaction, Ye Qianqian turned to give him a side-eye and contemptuous smirk but didn’t say a word.

Shen Zhilie was so frustrated that he felt his chest constricting. He reached his hand out, wanting to strangle Ye Qianqian.

But he couldn’t bring himself to do it. After a long sigh, he lamented, “Why is my life this hard? You drive me nuts all day, and I still have to wait on you. It’s so tiring for a man like me!”

“Wait on me, my ass! Since when did you have to wait on me?”

Ye Qianqian placed her hands on her hips and angrily demanded. It was obvious from her expression that she was annoyed.

Shen Zhilie sighed faintly and replied, “Didn’t I? I wonder who it was who carried you to the hospital when you were so ill that you were puking your guts out and even stayed by your bedside out of concern that you might just pass away in your sleep...”

“F*ck you!” Ye Qianqian was incensed. She reached out and pinched him hard on his arm as she hollered, “Speak for yourself! I was never about to die!”

Shen Zhilie grit his teeth in pain from the pinch and hastily replied, “Isn’t this the hard fate of the beautiful? The better one looks, the shorter the lifespan. I was just concerned for you!”

Ye Qianqian quickly snatched her hand back.

She looked at Shen Zhilie, visibly touched, and even reached out to soothe the part of his arm that she had just pinched. “Does it hurt?” she asked. “I’m sorry, I used a lot of strength.”

Ye Youyou was speechless.

Li Jinnan was too.

Ye Qianqian gazed into the distance with gratitude on her face and remarked, “It only makes sense that you were concerned. I think it’s a blessing indeed that I have a friend like you.”

“You really took me seriously?” Shen Zhilie shot back.

Ye Qianqian’s expression immediately changed, and she elbowed him hard.

Both Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan couldn’t hold their laughter in and began to chuckle.

“But seriously, when did you fall ill? Was it severe?” Ye Youyou asked as she lifted her teacup.

“It wasn’t anything much. She just caught a chill and suffered from a little dehydration. She recovered after a day on a drip and some medication,” Shen Zhilie stated. “This person here is as strong as an ox. Nothing will happen to her.”

“D*mn you! You’re the ox!”

“It’s a good thing for me to resemble an ox! I’m a man!”

“You’re the one who’s like a man!”

“Hey! I am a man to begin with!” Shen Zhilie retorted.

Ye Qianqian shot him a glare. “Well, you’re like a woman then!”

“Your words don’t even match up! You just said that I’m just like a man, and now you’re changing your words so quickly? Isn’t that inappropriate?”

“I don’t care! I say you’re just like a woman!”

Shen Zhilie waved his hands in defeat helplessly and conceded, “Alright, fine. I’m just a man. Will that do now?”

Ye Qianqian didn’t hear him clearly. Seeing his defeated expression made her laugh in satisfaction. She subconsciously replied, “That’s more like it.”

When she realized what he had actually said, she suddenly exclaimed, “F*ck!”
