Ye Qianqian’s curious voice could be heard over the phone.

Shen Zhilie’s heart was practically in his mouth. He hastily replied, “How’s that possible when I’m in the Capital? Talking about that, what has Fang Tongtong been up to lately?”

Ye Qianqian chuckled along. He was right. How was that possible?

Shen Zhilie was in the Capital while Fang Tongtong was here in Kingstown.

When Ye Qianqian heard that question, she tucked a lock of hair behind her ears and couldn’t resist smiling as she answered, “Well, I think that girl has fallen in love. She leaves the house humming happily to herself every day and only comes back after dinner. I’ve been resigned to having dinner on my own lately. I’m just glad that the age-old spinster is finally going to get rid of her single status. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief for her.”

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he turned his eyes toward Fang Tongtong.

Hearing Ye Qianqian’s words made him feel extremely guilty.

What would Ye Qianqian think if she found out that Fang Tongtong had been coming to the hospital to hang out?

Shen Zhilie suddenly regretted his decision.

Ye Qianqian interacted with Fang Tongtong every day. They were staying together and eating together. It was hard to guarantee that Fang Tongtong wouldn’t accidentally give something away.

Although there was absolutely nothing between them, judging from Ye Qianqian’s voice, he could tell that she was confident Fang Tongtong had fallen in love recently.

If Ye Qianqian discovered that the man Fang Tongtong had supposedly fallen in love with was really Shen Zhilie, weren’t the consequences going to be disastrous?

“What are you doing?” Ye Qianqian asked when she noticed that Shen Zhilie wasn’t speaking.

Shen Zhilie immediately regained his wits about him and chuckled. He replied, “Nothing. My grandmother was just talking to me. While I’m not there, you have to remember to eat your meals on time. Have you been very busy at work?”

“Yeah. It’s been crazy at the office. I had to finish all my back-logged work. Yesterday was Friday, and I worked overtime until 10 p.m. It was fortunate that Fang Tongtong already had her dinner by the time she came back. Otherwise, I’d really have become a sinner!”

“Sigh...” Shen Zhilie’s heart went out to her.

Ye Qianqian was usually very sharp-tongued. However, Shen Zhilie knew that her bark was worse than her bite. In reality, her heart was softer and kinder than anyone he knew.

It was precisely because of this attractive trait of hers that he was so bewitched by her.

Tenderheartedly, Shen Zhilie took a deep breath and said, “Don’t tire yourself out too much. If you can’t handle your workload, get Lili to help you. After all, isn’t Lili spending her days awaiting her baby’s birth? She must be bored.”

“I can’t! She’s a pregnant woman. If Ou Ming were to find out, he’d kill me!”

Shen Zhilie chuckled and glanced at the stationary Fang Tongtong in the corner before stating, “That makes sense. I’ll talk to you again later. I have to attend to something.”

“Alright.” Ye Qianqian had no choice but to begrudgingly disconnect the call.

Ye Qianqian hugged the stuffed toy that was on the couch and rolled around. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. It ached and itched at the same time.

“You’re always so busy! You’re busy in Kingstown and busy in the Capital too!” Ye Qianqian bit the stuffed dog’s nose. “Are you so busy that you don’t even have time to talk to me? Bastard!”

But she was going to be able to see him soon.

A huge grin appeared on Ye Qianqian’s face as she turned around to pick her cellphone up.

Fang Tongtong placed the breakfast down and carefully walked over.

The look on her face betrayed her uncertainty as she asked, “Did I speak too loudly just now?”

The gentleness that had been present on Shen Zhilie’s face when he was speaking to Ye Qianqian disappeared and was replaced by a dark look.
