The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1704 - Handsome



Chapter 1704: Handsome

Ye Qianqian sensed his reaction and broke out in a huge guffaw.

Feeling mischievous, Ye Qianqian leaned forward and stole another kiss.

This time around, Shen Zhilie was prepared, and his reaction wasn’t as strong.

He shot a glance as he deliberately kept his face straight and said, “You can choose to either come down on your own and walk, or have me throw you down.”

Ye Qianqian immediately clung on tightly to his neck and squeezed her eyes shut.

Only then did Shen Zhilie take one step after another and walk towards the shore.

As it was already night, the number of water-taxis dropping the passengers off had increased significantly.

Shen Zhilie recited the address of the hotel, and carried Ye Qianqian onto the boat.

But the moment they got on, Ye Qianqian sudden scrambled up, her senses alert. She looked nothing like that drunkard from moments before.

Shen Zhilie laughed in exasperation, and asked, “Did you just fool me?”

Ye Qianqian turned her head and laughed sheepishly in reply.

It was then that Shen Zhilie realized that her face was beet red, all the way from her cheeks to her forehead. This was indeed the reaction from drinking alcohol.

He reached out to feel her face. It was hot to the touch.

Ye Qianqian swatted his hand off in annoyance. She rested her head on the windowsill and looked out in to the distance.

Water taxis were shuttling back and forth all over, and wherever they went, they were met with a glistening sea of lights.

Lights of different colors reflected gorgeously on the surface of the deep and clear water.

The water taxi was going at a very fast speed, and Ye Qianqian felt as if she were in a dream. Her mind remained hazy.

Shen Zhilie propped her up from the back. He was worried that she’d lose her balance and fall over.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qianqian remained steadily seated, facing the window in a daze.

It took them approximately 20 minutes to get to their destination

When Ye Qianqian saw that her surroundings had stopped moving, she turned to look back.

Shen Zhilie paid the taxi fare, and when he sensed her gaze on him, he snorted at her with mixed feelings. Immediately, he turned to open the door.

He helped Ye Qianqian out in an action that could only be described part-carry and part-drag. It wasn’t easy for Shen Zhilie at all.

Ye Qianqian blinked her eyes and asked, “Shen Zhilie, do you find it tiring having to take care of me while on vacation?”

The expression on Shen Zhilie’s face was one of gratification as he stroked her head and nodded. He said, “I’m glad you realized it. Well done.”

“Damn it.” Ye Qianqian smacked his hand off, “You don’t have to carry me if you’re tired. I’ll walk on my own.”

“Hmph,” Shen Zhilie picked her up without any regard for her objections and said, “Even if I’m tired, what other choice do I have? Do you expect me to just ignore you?”

“It’s not as if I’m lame. I can walk on my own.” Ye Qianqian struggled in little in his arms.

But Shen Zhilie held on to her tightly. He said, “Stop trashing around. You’re really heavy. If you continue struggling, I might fall too.”

“Shen Zhilie!”

“Ha ha ha! Just behave yourself!” With that, Shen Zhilie strode right in to the hotel.

The security personnel at the door checked their keycards and led them to the lobby. He pressed the elevator for them and ushered them in.

Ye Qianqian leaned on Shen Zhilie’s shoulder. The eyes weren’t exactly alert, but they weren’t glazed either as she stared intently at Shen Zhilie’s jaw.

Shen Zhilie knew that she was looking at him. He gave her a passing glance and asked, “Am I not very handsome?”

Ye Qianqian’s eyes widened, but she didn’t say a word.

Shen Zhilie felt a bit uncomfortable under her intense scrutiny and observed her from the side of his eye.

“Ding!”

The elevator had arrived at their floor and Shen Zhilie stepped out.

Ye Qianqian automatically reached for the keycard to open the door. She squirmed and said, “Put me down.”

When Shen Zhilie released her and lowered her to the ground, Ye Qianqian made a dash for the bathroom.

Shen Zhilie released a long sigh, and realized that his whole body was covered in perspiration.

He took his coat off, and sat on the couch as he guzzled a bottle of water.

All of a sudden, the sound of flowing water could be heard coming from inside the bathroom.
