Chapter 1658: Subtle Interactions

Ye Qianqian’s reaction was so drastic that it made everyone look at her .

Ye Youyou’s eyes carried a hint of suspicion . Li Jinnan glanced at them meaningfully .

Everything was still in a blur for Shen Zhilie . He looked at Ye Qianqian, clearly not understanding the reason for her outburst .

Ye Qianqian laughed sheepishly as she met the gaze of the three individuals . She was feeling so awkward .

Her face began to heat up for no reason . Ye Qianqian laughed dryly as she tried to backtrack . “Is that not the case?” she asked as she looked to Shen Zhilie .

Shen Zhilie was still in a confused state . So what if they were living together? It wasn’t as if they were sleeping in the same room and sharing a bed!

Looking at Ye Qianqian’s expression, Shen Zhilie decided to change his tune and replied, “Yes, indeed . ”

With one look at them, Ye Youyou knew there was something fishy going on between them . No matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t imagine what it is .

It was said that a single pregnancy could dim a woman’s mind for three years . Her pregnancy had barely begun, yet her mind was already slowing down .

Ye Qianqian looked down and didn’t utter another word . Her eyes kept moving as she flipped through the menu .

Li Jinnan picked up the teacup and took a sip . He looked at Shen Zhilie and asked, “Has it been busy for you lately? You’ve had to shuttle between the Capital and Kingstown . On one side is your family, and on the other…”

At that juncture, Li Jinnan deliberately paused . No one could tell from his tone whether it had been intentional or not .

The small pause got Ye Qianqian all flustered again .

“On the other side is work . ”

As Li Jinnan completed his sentence, Shen Zhilie clasped his hands together with his fingers entwining each other and replied, “It’s manageable . I applied for leave recently since the hospital isn’t exactly busy right now . The shuttling to and from is indeed quite tiring . So, when you two intending to get married?”

The change in topic was a little abrupt, but Ye Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief .

“Soon . We’ll be going to the Bureau of Civil Affairs on Monday . ” Li Jinnan had everything planned out . “I intend to act first and announce it later . We’ll have the marriage registered before I take her home to the family . ”

“Won’t your mom kill you for that?” Shen Zhilie laughed and said, “I’ve heard that your mom is very conservative in her way of thinking . Does she know about Youyou’s situation?”

“She does . That’s why I have to act first and announce it later . ”

“When that time comes, if you need any help, just call me . I may just come in handy, especially when it comes to cleaning up the corpses . ” Shen Zhilie guffawed at his own joke and turned to look at Ye Qianqian . “Is this task too hard for you? Are you done choosing the dishes yet?”

Ye Qianqian’s train of thought had long gone off-track . She hadn’t been concentrating on the menu at all .

Upon hearing Shen Zhilie’s words, she was suddenly stunned and jumped out of her skin .

She was about to lose her temper at him . When she saw the looks that the other two at the table were giving her, she held it in .

While still looking at the menu, Ye Qianqian bit the bullet with a grimace and called out, “Waiter! I’d like to place my order!”

The waiter arrived quickly . After Ye Qianqian had ordered a few random dishes, Shen Zhilie suddenly said, “I want a steamed egg . ”

Ye Qianqian’s expression was one of disdain as she remarked, “Aren’t you sick of eating steamed eggs every day?”

“I like it that way . And a plate of stir-fried shredded pork . ”

“No . We’ve been eating that every day! You might not be sick of it, but I am! I’d like a portion of braised pork belly and double-boiled soup… One portion for each person . Right, do you serve fried vermicelli here? One portion of that too . ”

Shen Zhilie listened sulkily as she rattled on and added to the waiter, “One steamed egg . ”

The waiter knew that Shen Zhilie wasn’t the one calling the shots at the table . He looked to Ye Qianqian for confirmation .

Ye Qianqian quickly replied, “Just ignore him . That’ll be all for now . Please hurry with the food . ”

“Right away . Please wait for a moment . ”

It was only after the waiter left that Ye Qianqian noticed Ye Youyou’s expression . She found herself unable to explain .
