Not at all!
It had only been half a month since that fateful night. How had he already set his sights on marrying her?
Hold on… Was there an unspeakable and underlying reason as to why Shen Zhilie was in such a hurry?
The more Ye Qianqian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She pulled him over and said, “Shen Zhilie.”
“Yeah?” Shen Zhilie saw the doubt on her face and raised his eyebrows.
Ye Qianqian replied, “This feels too soon for me. We… I think you should go back. This doesn’t feel right.”
“But I’m already here.” Shen Zhilie nudged her gently and said, “Actually, my main reason for coming was to see you. I missed you.”
Ye Qianqian felt her face go hot again.
It was only yesterday that she had arrived from Kingstown. No matter how she calculated it, it had been less than two days. How was he already missing her?
“I came to your old hometown to see you. Since I knew that your father and grandfather would be home too, how could I come empty-handed?”
“You’re not ill or anything…”
“No. Come on, let’s go.” Shen Zhilie was about to turn after speaking.
Ye Qianqian still felt that something was amiss. She held him by the sleeve of his shirt and said, “Hey. Hold on a moment. I would like to ask you something.”
Shen Zhilie paused. In exasperation, he lifted his hands, which had been carrying the gifts, and lamented, “My dear madam, these things are heavy! And the sun is so harsh. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?”
“If this bit of exhaustion is enough to kill you, that just means you’re useless!” Ye Qianqian looked at him in disdain. After a moment’s thought, she forged ahead with her question. “Shen Zhilie, have you ever had any girlfriends before?”
She was asking this question now?
Shen Zhilie felt that something was off. He looked at Ye Qianqian and replied, “I’m already 27 years old. If I told you no, would you believe me?”
“Not at all!”
“Exactly!”
“So… Did you meet your ex-girlfriend’s parents after merely half a month of dating too?” Ye Qianqian was beginning to stammer. She was afraid that Shen Zhilie would take offense at the question.
“Half a month?” Shen Zhilie did some mental calculations. “Oh, it was indeed half a month.”
Ye Qianqian was speechless.
“Are you afraid that I’m fickle with my affections?” Shen Zhilie chuckled and replied, “Don’t worry. I wasn’t serious with my previous girlfriends and never intended for those relationships to last. Naturally, I never met their elders.”
In other words, he was in it for the long haul in his decision to be with Ye Qianqian.
Ye Qianqian was suddenly moved by his words and asked, “Is that so?”
“Of course.” Shen Zhilie narrowed his eyes at her and said, “Although you aren’t as pretty as they were, and your figure isn’t as good, it’s still forcibly acceptable.”
Ye Qianqian’s face turned black. She stomped her foot as she ground out, “Shen Zhilie!”
“Heh, heh… Let’s go!”
Ye Qianqian was so angry that she pinched him on his hand before quickly stomping off in the direction of her home.
Ye Zhenhua was chatting with the old man. The front door wasn’t closed.
The flowers in the yard were in full bloom, and their scent filled the air.
When Ye Zhenhua saw his daughter come back with a man, he was momentarily stunned and asked, “Qianqian, who is this?”
Ye Qianqian huffed and replied, “I picked him up on the road back.”
“What?” Ye Zhenhua didn’t understand.
Shen Zhilie took a step forward and said, “Hello, Uncle. I’m Shen Zhilie, Qianqian’s boyfriend.”
“Qianqian’s boyfriend?” Ye Zhenhua was in shock. “Since when did Qianqian have a boyfriend? Why didn’t I know about it?”
He looked at Qianqian as he asked the question.
“I forgot,” Ye Qianqian replied. “I’ll bring some tea out.”
Ye Zhenhua looked accusatorily at the daughter he had somewhat spoiled before turning his eyes back to Shen Zhilie.
