The 99th Divorce Chapter 1690 – Strangle Him

Chapter 1690: Strangle Him

The voice suddenly came out of nowhere. Ye Qianqian was shocked out of her wits.

She jumped back in fright before regaining her senses. In a hushed tone, she admonished, “You scared me to death!”

Shen Zhilie got up from the couch. He was topless and looked very cool.

He looked at Ye Qianqian and shone the torchlight from his cellphone toward her as she walked over.

Ye Qianqian tiptoed and said, “I can’t be bothered with you. I’m going to the bathroom.”

“Alright.”

Ye Qianqian found the atmosphere a little peculiar. She was feeling unsettled.

The surroundings were dark and black without any lights switched on. The air carried the smell of damp grass. It was very pleasing to the senses.

When Ye Qianqian heard Shen Zhilie’s reply, she used the flashlight function from her cell phone to light the way to the bathroom.

When she was done in the bathroom and emerged, she found Shen Zhilie seated on a stone stool in the yard.

Ye Qianqian walked over to where he was sat beside him. “Can’t sleep?” she asked.

“Yeah. Perhaps I’m just a little too excited.” Shen Zhilie’s voice was a little raspy. He turned to glance at Ye Qianqian. “Your father seems to like me very much.”

At the mention of that, Ye Qianqian felt even more unsettled. She quickly looked away and came up with an excuse. “It’s my first time bringing a boyfriend back. Even if you were a pig, he’d think you were great. You have no idea how worried he’s been that I might never get married. He was so anxious that he was on the verge of asking Fang Tongtong’s mother to set me up with someone.”

As she spoke, she turned to look back at him.

The air in this small town had remained unpolluted. The moonlight on this summer night was especially bright and clear.

Under the moonlight, Ye Qianqian could clearly see Shen Zhilie’s eyes gazing at her.

Her heartbeat sped up without warning. Ye Qianqian fidgeted at little. With a gentle cough, she said, “Fang Tongtong is the girl you saw earlier today. She’s been my best friend since I was a kid. My BFF, so to speak.”

“Yeah, I could tell that the two of you are very close.”

“Indeed. In the past few years, due to us being in different places, we’ve hardly had the chance to meet up as much. If this had been in the past, we would have gotten physical in our arguments.”

The corners of Shen Zhilie’s lips lifted in a smile. He made a hum of acknowledgment.

That low sound he emitted was unbelievably sexy.

Ye Qianqian was having a hard time suppressing herself. Her heart felt as if it was running on a motor. It kept speeding up and refused to slow down.

If this continued, wasn’t she going to die of a sudden heart attack?

Ye Qianqian stood up and faked a loud yawn. She said, “I’m tired. Let’s talk tomorrow. You should get some sleep soon.”

“Qianqian.”

“Yeah?” Ye Qianqian lowered her head and looked at him. Shen Zhilie sudden reached out and lightly held her hand.

His action was very gentle, almost as light as a feather.

Ye Qianqian felt her face heat up as she looked at him. She took a step back.

What was he up to?

Was he going to kiss her?

It was so late at night, and it was dark out. They were a single man and woman alone…

However, just as Ye Qianqian’s thoughts began veering off-tangent, Shen Zhilie suddenly released her.

“Good night. I’ll sit out here for a little longer.”

That was it?

That was it??

Ye Qianqian felt so flustered at that moment. That was it?

Ye Qianqian felt as if there was a weight on her chest. Without another word, she turned around and stomped back into the bedroom.

Bloody hell! Stupid man!

Her steps were heavy. As Shen Zhilie watched her from behind, the smile on his face deepened.

He turned away and faced the moon with satisfaction brimming in his eyes.

Ye Qianqian had no idea that she had just fallen into a trap laid out by Shen Zhilie. Her heart was feeling empty. She laid in bed and lifted the covers over her head. She kicked the mattress in exasperation. She wanted to just strangle him!

Calm down… Calm down…
