Shen Zhilie took in a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before saying, “Since you haven’t eaten, let’s have a meal together. I’ll show you the proof.”
“You even have proof?” Ye Qianqian’s eyebrows rose a notch. “You’re well-prepared, aren’t you?”
Shen Zhilie felt an onset of anger, but he could not get angry no matter what.
He grabbed ahold of Ye Qianqian’s arm and continued to speak firmly. “Let’s go. What do you want to eat?”
“I’ll just grab a quick bite. I took yesterday off to catch you guys red-handed. Now that the deed is done, I need to return to work, or my boss will get angry.” Ye Qianqian helplessly shrugged her shoulders.
“Catch us red-handed?”
The more Shen Zhilie listened, the angrier he felt. He inevitably slightly tightened his grip on her hands.
Ye Qianqian was hurting under his grip. Her brows scrunched together into a frown, but she did not comment.
Shen Zhilie dragged Ye Qianqian to a breakfast joint nearby. While it served up food pretty quickly, Ye Qianqian did not really like the food served.
She was not usually picky about food, but she had a special dislike for steamed vermicelli roll.
Unfortunately, everything sold in the shop came with steamed vermicelli roll and porridge.
When Ye Qianqian saw what the shop served, she hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, she stepped inside.
Shen Zhilie ordered the food, which suited Ye Qianqian’s tastes.
After Shen Zhilie ordered the food, they found a place to sit. As he looked at Ye Qianqian, he said, “You distrust me so much. Why can’t you suspect your best friend? She was the one who insisted on taking care of me no matter what. I couldn’t stop her no matter how hard I tried. If I gave her attitude, she would threaten me!”
“If you can be threatened, it proves that she has a hold on you! You must have done something against your conscience, didn’t you?”
“Pooh!” Shen Zhilie became anxious. “You are the hold she has over me. You are my Achilles’ heel. The biggest thing I did that went against my conscience was being afraid to let you know I got stabbed and telling you I went to the Capital. God knows how I survived these few days. I’m constantly worried that that woman is going to betray me. If you knew that I had lied to you, I would undoubtedly die a horrible death.”
Shen Zhilie did not forget to look at Ye Qianqian as he spoke.
There was not much of an expression on Ye Qianqian’s face. She stared fixedly at the engravings on the wooden table in the small restaurant.
Shen Zhilie let out a sigh and said, “It’s great now. I’m not worried about being betrayed anymore. Under the current circumstances, I feel even worse than what I would have felt if she had betrayed me. She must have said something to you, didn’t she?”
With Ye Qianqian’s personality, once she was certain about something, it was hard to change her mind. However, it was not a simple feat to convince Ye Qianqian about something.
When Ye Qianqian heard what Shen Zhilie said, the corners of her lips lifted up, but she remained silent.
In Shen Zhilie’s eyes, her micro-expression was as good as a direct acknowledgment.
“Qianqian, we’ve been together for so long. You must have felt for yourself how I have treated you. You also should have known better than anyone else about the kind of person that I am. You cannot give me a death sentence simply based on the one-sided story of someone else.”
“Hello, here is your meal.”
“Thank you,” Ye Qianqian replied and pulled the food over.
Shen Zhilie continued to stare straight at Ye Qianqian with an extremely grim expression. “What you’re doing isn’t fair to me.”
“Tongtong likes you,” Ye Qianqian suddenly blurted out. “She likes you a lot.”
“So what?” Shen Zhilie instinctively rebutted her, but he soon felt a sense of foreboding. He dangerously narrowed his eyes and gave her a sidelong glance as he asked, “Are you intending to let her have your boyfriend?”
Shen Zhilie’s spoke with a hot temper. Ye Qianqian straightened her back.
