Ye Qianqian was truly scared out of her wits.

Since she was a child until now, she had never been shocked like this before. She thought that this type of scenario only appeared in novels and comic books. She never expected that she herself would experience such an incident.

Now that she was actually experiencing what she used to think was impossible, all she felt was fear and nothing else. As Ye Qianqian hugged Shen Zhilie, she looked up and asked with a nervous look in her eyes, “Aren’t you afraid at all?”

It was naturally impossible for Shen Zhilie to be completely unafraid, since it was also his first time experiencing such a situation. However, it was useless for them to worry and feel afraid during a time like this.

“You should feel lucky.” Shen Zhilie sat down and gently played with her hair. “You should feel lucky that we decided to move out for the time being. If we had been in the apartment tonight, something untoward might have happened to us.”

Ye Qianqian was already afraid to begin with, but when she heard Shen Zhilie say this, she almost cried out loud.

Shen Zhilie quickly comforted her and said, “Thankfully we weren’t there. Let’s not go to work tomorrow. We don’t know if you left items from your company behind in the apartment. If that crook saw your name card and went to look for you based on your company’s address, that’s not a joking matter.”

That was when it suddenly dawned on Ye Qianqian that that was a possibility, and she said, “You’re right, why didn’t I think of that? What will happen to my colleagues if he goes to my company?”

“Don’t worry. There are security guards there, and they’re pretty good at what they do, so it’s unlikely that they would allow strangers in.” As Shen Zhilie spoke, he let out a slightly reproachful sigh. “I was stopped quite a few times. Why does your company change security guards so frequently?”

Ye Qianqian relaxed a little and snorted before saying, “Blame yourself for looking shifty-eyed.”

“Shifty-eyed? Have you ever seen a thief or rogue who’s as handsome as me?”

Ye Qianqian’s lips curled up into a smile, and she turned her head aside before she pushed him and said, “Go away. You’re shameless.”

“How am I shameless? Make yourself clear. Aren’t I handsome?”

“No!” Ye Qianqian turned her head away in contempt. Her spirits were obviously much better than before.

Shen Zhilie noticed this and heaved a sigh of relief before saying, “Of course I am. Didn’t I attract you based on my good looks?”

“Pooh. You were merely brazenly shameless!”

“Even still, I managed to attract you.” Shen Zhilie pushed her down. “Open your eyes wider and have a good look. Aren’t I handsome?”

“No, no, no!” Ye Qianqian was in stubborn denial, and she turned her head aside in disdain while she struggled against him.

“You deserve a spanking for being disobedient.” Shen Zhilie smacked her butt.

Ye Qianqian snorted and removed his hand. “How dare you beat me? Even my dad doesn’t do that!”

“Now that you’re grown-up, your dad can’t do that anymore, but your man can.” Shen Zhilie pulled her wriggling body up, and there was a teasing look in his eyes as he said, “If you continue to remain stubborn, I won’t go easy on you.”

Ye Qianqian twisted her body for a moment, and she continued to frown as she said, “Gosh. You’re handsome. I’ll say that you’re handsome for now.”

“You sound forced.”

“Hmm... Old Shen, do you think what’s happening is the great misfortune that Grandmother mentioned?”

When Shen Zhilie heard what Ye Qianqian said, he felt slightly defeated. ‘This woman... To think that I’ve spent so much time and effort to try to distract her, but after going a big circle around the incident, we’re back to square one again.’

Ye Qianqian didn’t notice his strange look and asked, “But didn’t she say twenty-eight years old...”

To marry at twenty-eight years old, to have a mishap at twenty-eight years old. Twenty-eight years old... Everything was supposed to happen at twenty-eight years old.

Ye Qianqian clung onto Shen Zhilie’s neck and said softly in a slightly fearful voice, “Old Shen, I’m afraid of death.”

“Don’t worry. Only beauties are ill-fated. Women like you live to a ripe old age.”
