Chapter 1773: Dutch Courage

Under such circumstances, there was no way for Shen Zhilie to ascertain the extent of truth or falsity behind her words .

Perhaps Ye Qianqian merely wanted to test his faithfulness toward her through such a situation . Or, she might have truly meant what she said .

Even if Ye Qianqian did harbor such a thought, it was without a doubt that it had been completely killed off by his “affair” with Fang Tongtong .

Irritated and vexed, Shen Zhilie took a seat on the sofa and scratched his head as he listened to the dead silence over the phone .

Even if he truly had a chance at the beginning, he had already killed it with his own hands .

Such a feeling was even worse than what one felt when there was no hope to begin with .

Defeated…

Many things had been smooth sailing throughout Shen Zhilie’s life .

All along, he had boasted about his intelligence . This was the first time he had encountered such an awkward and embarrassing situation .

Shen Zhilie tiredly closed his eyes . He did not know how long had passed, but he suddenly heard Ye Qianqian’s voice . “Shen Zhilie…”

Shen Zhilie became alert . He immediately straightened his back . “I’m here!”

The other end of the phone quickly went silent . It was as if what he had heard before were merely words uttered in one’s sleep .

“Shen Zhilie…”

The voice was extremely soft and gentle .

Shen Zhilie listened to the stir on the other end of the phone in silence before he whispered gently, “Qianqian, tell me where you are . I was wrong . I was truly wrong . ”

Muted sniffles could be heard from Ye Qianqian’s end of the phone . She sounded extremely aggrieved, yet she held back her sobs .

“Qianqian…”

With her stomach filled with water, it was not long before Ye Qianqian felt the need to use the bathroom .

She subconsciously sniffed her nose as she got up . She vaguely felt as if she heard Shen Zhilie’s voice .

Ye Qianqian looked around but did not discover anything .

Unbothered, she staggered into the bathroom inside the suite .

She turned on the tap . Her throat felt extremely parched .

As she walked out of the bathroom, she caught sight of a bottle of beer . She took off the cap and threw her head back to gulp it down .

Half a bottle of beer was gone with one swig . Ye Qianqian wiped her mouth as she looked up toward the screen .

The song was still playing, but Ye Qianqian had muted it .

Ye Qianqian played the song again . Shen Zhilie could immediately hear that exaggerated and horrendous melody .

Caught off guard, Shen Zhilie jumped in shock . He took a glance at his phone . When he verified that he was still on the call with Ye Qianqian, he continued to listen .

Ye Qianqian held onto the phone and yelled, “It was my fault that you left so abruptly and deserted me on the way . Why did you realize it so quickly, leading to such an outcome…”

She was barely articulate as she spoke in her drunken slur .

In some parts, she could not even keep up with the tune and read out the lyrics directly .

KTV?

Was she drinking in a KTV?

Shen Zhilie instantly bolted up from the sofa . He opened the door and headed out of the house .

…

Ye Qianqian finished the bottle of beer . Her face was shockingly hot .

Her head was spinning . She grabbed her purse before she teetered her way out .

“I’m going home… Going home… Going home…” Ye Qianqian mumbled repeatedly as she pressed the button for the elevator and headed downstairs .

As a completely drunk lady, Ye Qianqian stood out from the crowd around her .

Her entire body reeked of beer . She held onto her purse as she staggered out .

Ye Qianqian had always wanted to splurge at a five-star hotel for one night, but she could never bring herself to do it .

There was a common saying to act on Dutch courage .

Ye Qianqian’s gaze naturally landed on the signboard of the five-star hotel nearby . Her lips cracked up into a grin . She suddenly exclaimed, “Fight when you have to fight! Charge into the nine provinces like wind and fire!”
