The 99th Divorce

Ye Qianqian’s words had a tone of suggestiveness to it. When Fang Tongtong heard that, she felt a prick in her conscience.

She looked away and didn’t meet Ye Qianqian’s eyes. A little bashfully she said, “Oh my god. What little boyfriend are you talking about? There’s no such thing!”

“No?” Ye Qianqian leaned even closer. “If there isn’t, why are you blushing? Damn! Fang Tongtong gets embarrassed too! Hurry! Tell me! What kind of a person is that guy? Is he handsome?”

Fang Tongtong felt even more unsettled. She turned her head away and replied, “Stop imagining things! It’s not a guy!”

“Do you leave the house early and come back late for someone who isn’t a guy?” Ye Qianqian clearly didn’t believe her. “Yeah, right!”

Fang Tongtong saw how preoccupied Ye Qianqian looked cooking her noodles. Her feelings of emptiness abated a little.

“I have to say, I never imagined that! Just one trip to Kingstown and you got yourself attached! I guess I’ll be seeing a lot more of you in Kingstown in the future.” Ye Qianqian turned off the gas and brought her bowl of noodles over to the couch.

Fang Tongtong’s heartbeat quickened as she gazed at her. When Ye Qianqian finally sat down opposite her, she said, “Actually, I haven’t been going on dates. It’s just that he got injured, and I’ve been going to the hospital to take care of him.”

“He got injured? How?”

“At work. I’m not too sure of the details, but the injury was pretty serious. His arm needed 12 stitches. His artery was severed, and he lost a lot of blood. He’s still in the hospital.”

Ye Qianqian sucked in her breath. “That sounds horrible! Is his arm fine now?”

“It’s fine. Fortunately, none of the nerves were affected. As long as he recovers well, the arm will be fine.” Fang Tongtong looked at Ye Qianqian and smiled. “He’s doing a lot better now.”

“That’s good to hear. What does he do for work? It must have been really dangerous for his arm to suddenly get so badly injured! Will there be any future risks?” Ye Qianqian grew concerned hearing the story. “Life decisions mustn’t be made lightly. When he recovers, you should tell him to change jobs.”

Fang Tongtong’s smile disappeared. “This was an isolated incident. It’s really not dangerous at all. His job is pretty stable.”

“What job is it?”

“He’s a doctor. He recently got into a bit of a scuffle with a patient. It couldn’t be helped.” Fang Tongtong shrugged her shoulders.

A doctor?

Ye Qianqian was surprised. “Seriously? What a coincidence! Haha! Shen is a doctor too! But he’s a psychiatrist and can’t compare at all to the doctors who save lives daily. Introduce him to me if you get the chance.”

“Sure…” Fang Tongtong began to feel guilty and looked down. “I’ll bring him back when he’s fully recovered.”

“That’s a great idea. What does he look like?”

“He looks really good when he smiles. He has straight teeth, loves to smile, and is very tall. He’s fair and clean-looking but very masculine at the same time. He likes body-building and has a very fit physique.” As Fang Tongtong described this person, a faraway look appeared in her eyes.

Ye Qianqian narrowed her eyes teasingly when she saw Fang Tongtong’s behavior. “I guess you’ve fallen in deep this time. The man must be very outstanding for you to take notice of him.”

“Of course! He’s extremely outstanding. I really, really like him.”

“Ha-ha! But does he like you?”

“Of course!” Fang Tongtong felt her face heat up. “An unrequited romance is meaningless for me!”

Ye Qianqian patted her on the arm happily and said, “That’s great. I wish you all the best. When you get married, I’ll be your maid-of-honor!”

The smile on Fang Tongtong’s face widened. She nodded her head. “You said it! Finish your noodles quickly! It’s getting soggy.”
