When Ye Qianqian heard Shen Zhilie’s words, she didn’t say a word, and merely raised her head to glance at Ye Youyou.
Ye Youyou shrugged and commented, “I agree with Zhilie that you’re worrying needlessly. You’re so frightened that you’ve scared yourself into believing that it might come true. Change your point of view, and everything will become much better.”
“Change my point of view?”
“Yeah.” Ye Youyou looked at Ye Qianqian as she took a spoonful of soup and said, “This could very well be a lie that the old lady from the Shen family cooked up in order to have an excuse to object to your relationship with Zhilie. Have you ever considered that everything she said was done for the sole reason of frightening you off?”
“But Uncle Blind Man in our town said the same thing, too!”
“Who’s Uncle Blind Man?”
“He’s a blind man in Yun Town who is possessed by a deity. Although he’s older than Dad by only about ten years, he looks a lot older. You’ve probably seen him before.”
“I see…” Ye Youyou nodded her head and thought to herself for a moment before saying, “Well, it’s possible that the old lady anticipated that you would look up Uncle Blind Man and was in cahoots with him right from the start!”
“How is that even possible?” Ye Qianqian found the theory too far-fetched.
“Why wouldn’t it be? Didn’t you say so yourself that this blind man is possessed by a deity? The old lady calls herself half a celestial, too. Maybe they had some secret form of communication that took place in a world we can’t see, and they hatched a plan to join hands to deceive you.”
Ye Youyou’s words brought shivers down the back of everyone present who was listening. Li Jinnan began to feel very unsettled and cleared his throat uncomfortably before placing some food on her plate. “Eat up,” he said. “And stop being superstitious.”
“Exactly!” Shen Zhilie likewise placed some food in front of Ye Qianqian and said with a somber expression, “We are now in an era of science. Don’t go around believing in such unsubstantiated things. So what if it turns out to be true? Given the current advancement of medical technology, if you want to conceive, there will be plenty of ways for you to.”
What he said made sense, and Ye Youyou nodded her head firmly. When Li Jinnan observed that, he chimed in as well and said, “At most, you can always make a test-tube baby. The child will still be yours.”
Ye Qianqian’s face fell when she heard his words. Ye Youyou nudged Li Jinnan and glared at him before turning to Ye Qianqian and consoling her. “Don’t listen to my husband, and stop scaring yourself. If these deities were of any use, why would we need science?”
“Yeah, Youyou is right. Eat up. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Shen Zhilie picked up the bowl and placed it in Ye Qianqian’s hands.
Only then did Ye Qianqian fall silent and lower her head to eat. Ye Youyou was in the midst of drinking her soup when she turn to Li Jinnan and asked, “I heard that our company is in the middle of preparing for a drama that’s been adapted from a novel. What’s it called?”
“‘Ninety-Nine Days of Hidden Marriage,’” Li Jinnan replied immediately. “It’s the story of a lady from the mafia who is framed and ends up becoming a mute after her tongue is cut off. Later on, she marries her prince charming. Three years later, after getting pregnant, she gets abducted, killed as a hostage, and reborn.”
“Oh my god… no way! Her husband didn’t save her?”
“Nope. He was out on an illicit date with his lover.”
“No! Wasn’t she pregnant with his child?”
“It was rumored that the child wasn’t his, but his brother’s. So…”
“F*ck! That man is such a scumbag!” Ye Qianqian huffed angrily. “When is the drama airing? I’m definitely going to post my opinion!”
Li Jinnan smiled. “We haven’t even started filming yet. You’ll just have to wait.”
“If such a man exists in reality, he probably deserves to die,” Shen Zhilie added.
