Chapter 1783: Something Is Fishy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The editor had already walked up to Ye Qianqian. Just when she was about to say something, she noticed that Ye Qianqian’s eyes were completely red.

Ye Qianqian stared at the call log on her phone screen. Her eyes inevitably brimmed with tears.

The editor never expected Ye Qianqian to behave like this. Within the three to four years she had worked at the company, nobody in the office had ever seen Ye Qianqian cry.

Ye Qianqian’s tears trickled down from her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away and said, “It’s nothing.”

When they sat down again, the editor no longer maintained the overbearing stance she displayed earlier. Instead, she approached Ye Qianqian and gently asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Qianqian tried hard to force the corners of her lips to curl up into a smile, but the muscles were rigid beyond reason. Her smiling face looked even uglier than how she looked when she cried.

The editor’s heart ached when she saw that. After she pulled out a piece of tissue, she handed it over to Ye Qianqian before she comforted her and said, “Alright, alright.”

Everything was fine before the editor said that. After the words came out of her mouth, Ye Qianqian could feel the gaze of all the people around her.

Ye Qianqian’s lips turned down into a pout. She could not help but weep softly and yell out between her sobs, “I’m fine. Go away, this is so embarrassing.”

The editor was so entertained by her words that she almost burst out laughing. She would have done so if it wasn’t for the fact that she found it inappropriate to do so while Ye Qianqian was crying.

After a gentle cough, the editor said, “In that case, I’ll leave.”

“Wait!” Ye Qianqian blurted out amidst her sobs.

The editor stopped in her tracks. She turned her head around before she asked, “What’s up?”

“I want to take a day off!”

The editor gave in.

…

By the time she took a cab and reached home, Fang Tongtong had already left.

Ye Qianqian called Fang Tongtong numerous times throughout her journey home. Initially, nobody answered the call. Subsequently, the call no longer went through. It was obvious that Fang Tongtong had blacklisted her phone number.

The items that belonged to Fang Tongtong had been cleared away from the house. Ye Qianqian sat down on the sofa and was lost in a trance as she stared at the ceiling above her head.

After she laid down on the sofa for a long time, Ye Qianqian recalled that she had to call Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie answered the call quickly. It was as if he had been constantly keeping an eye on his cellphone. “Hi, Qianqian.”

The familiar voice still sounded melodious. As usual, it stirred up ripples of emotions in her heart.

However, when Ye Qianqian heard this voice right now, she felt a miserable tightening of her heart.

“Shen Zhilie.”

Ye Qianqian’s throat was a little dry, and her voice sounded slightly hoarse.

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he instantly felt that something was amiss. He took one glance at the time. It was 2 p.m.

She must be free since she could call me at a time like this?

“Don’t you have to work overtime today anymore?”

“Yeah,” Ye Qianqian calmly acknowledged. “Shen Zhilie.”

“Yup?”

“Tell me honestly, exactly what is the relationship between you and Fang Tongtong?”

Shen Zhilie was taken aback, but he proceeded to reply, “I thought I made myself very clear this morning that there’s nothing between me and Fang Tongtong. The only relationship is that I’m your boyfriend while she is your best friend. But I feel that your best friend is not a simple person. Why don’t you cut off contact with her?”

“Is that so?” Ye Qianqian felt rather lost. “Something’s fishy about you lately.”

“Qianqian, I didn’t lie to you intentionally. I was merely afraid that you’d be worried.”

“No, I’m not referring to the incident about your hospitalization.”

“Huh?”

“In that past, you would never explain so much about something when you spoke. At most, you would just tell me that she was unrelated to you. Now, you’re telling me to cut off contact from her. What’s the meaning of that?”

“That’s because I feel that she is not as simple as what you think. She might seem like a careless person, but her heart is full of schemes. Qianqian, not everyone is like you, and that is especially true of your best friend. I don’t think that she deserves to be your close friend.”
