The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1793: Take Care of Yourself from Now On

“What goes around will come around!”

Those words echoed in Ye Qianqian’s mind over and over.

After Ye Qianqian had her meal, she slept beside Ye Youyou.

As Ye Qianqian was Ye Youyou’s older sister, she moved into the guest room in Ye Youyou’s home without any further thought.

Although Li Jinnan was busy with work, he still came home frequently.

When he saw Ye Qianqian, he would have a short chat with her without being excessively friendly or cold.

After all, he was the husband of Ye Youyou. After Ye Qianqian was reminded of the incident with Fang Tongtong, she did not dare approach Li Jinnan.

Three days like that passed by.

For the past few days, Ye Qianqian would set off for her office at 7 a.m. every day and would only knock off from work at around 9 p.m.

She instructed the receptionist to inform Shen Zhilie that she had taken a leave of absence or say that she had resigned if he came to look for her.

The editor was quite consoled. She event highlighted and praised Ye Qianqian about it during the meeting. The editor presented her with the best employee award. She also did not deduct her bonus for perfect attendance.

Within just a short few days, everyone was aware of the fact that Ye Qianqian had fallen out of love.

The originally lazy performance queen had transformed into a go-getter who worked from morning until night.

It was because of this that Ye Qianqian achieved a stunning performance within just a matter of a few days by the end of the month.

Three days was neither long nor short.

Ye Qianqian did not dare stop. She busied herself with work for fear that she would be reminded of Shen Zhilie and Fang Tongtong, as well as their affair, the moment she stopped.

Ye Qianqian could only hole up in her sister’s home and seek self consolation.

Ye Qianqian did not expect Shen Zhilie to catch hold of her at the foot of her office building, even after she tried to avoid him such an extent.

It was 10 p.m. by the time Ye Qianqian knocked off from work. She grabbed her bag and went down the stairs. Just when she was about to hail a cab after crossing the road, she suddenly felt something tighten around her arm.

Taken by surprise, Ye Qianqian shrieked and jumped back in shock.

“It’s me.” When Ye Qianqian heard Shen Zhilie’s voice, she managed to calm down.

However, she felt terrible. It was as if needles were piercing into her heart.

Shen Zhilie looked extremely haggard from the few days they were apart.

His eyes had dark circles, and his cheeks seemed slightly hollowed out.

Ye Qianqian took one glance at the arm Shen Zhilie was holding onto. With a frown, she twisted her arm and said in a loathing voice, “What do you want?”

“I just wanted to let you know that I’ve moved out. I will not bother you from now on.” Shen Zhilie released her arm. “I’ve removed all of my belongings. I also added a fish tank. Haven’t you always wanted a fish tank? I reared some of your favorite tiny tropical fishes. You can move back home today.”

Ye Qianqian felt as though her heart was hollowed out and slammed heavily by a hammer.

As though her breathing had come to an abrupt halt, Ye Qianqian felt slightly suffocated.

“That’s your house, your home. I’m merely a guest. Don’t be confused.” Shen Zhilie smiled faintly. “Take care of yourself from now on.”

Ye Qianqian pursed her lips together tightly and, to her disappointment, she instantly felt a stinging sensation in her eyes.

She lowered her head down and did not dare look at Shen Zhilie.

“But Qianqian, I’ve never done anything to let you down. It has been like this in the past and present, and the future will be the same.” Shen Zhilie gazed at her intently. “I’ll wait for you to return.”

Ye Qianqian increasingly tightened her grip around the strap of her handbag.

Isn’t this the outcome I wanted?

Why do I feel so sad when I hear Shen Zhilie say such things…

Didn’t I hide and run away from him for such a long time because I was afraid that he would persistently hound me?

Now that he has decided to move out, my heart feels empty…

As Shen Zhilie gazed at Ye Qianqian, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth. His throat choked up.
