Chapter 1683: So Sick of It
“When would that have been? You should have told me the moment you had a boyfriend.” Ye Zhenhua looked at her with admonishment in his eyes.
As he spoke, he turned his eyes toward Shen Zhilie. The more he looked at him, the more handsome he found the guy to be.
His facial features were distinctive and proportionate. He had thick brows, round eyes, red lips, and white teeth, which were all complemented by a straight and sharp nose. He could tell that this lad was destined for a life of wealth and riches.
But... What on earth was he thinking by dating that daughter of his?
“I couldn’t! What if we broke up?” Ye Qianqian asked as she slowly infused the tea. “We’ve only dated for such a short time. We haven’t even discussed our horoscope compatibility yet.”
Ye Qianqian’s words were blunt. Shen Zhilie felt a little embarrassed in front of her father.
He interrupted her and asked, “Why would you even think that? Since I’m in a relationship with you, I obviously intend for us to be happy together for a long time. Why would I suddenly break up with you? You’re overthinking it.”
“Well, can’t I be the one to break up with you?” Ye Qianqian began to feel a little annoyed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been barely half a month since they’d gotten together and here he was coming to see her elders. Why was he in such a rush?
Was he afraid that she’d run off?
Heh heh!
Alternatively, had he treated all of his ex-girlfriends the same way? Was each one he managed to nab a potential bride in his mind?
What a douche!
“If there’s something about me that you do not like, I’ll just change. Won’t that do?” Shen Zhilie moved a small stool over and sat beside Ye Qianqian.
Ye Qianqian was holding a teacup with a pair of bamboo tongs. When she heard his words, her hand suddenly trembled. She almost dropped the teacup.
The hot water in the cup spilled out. Shen Zhilie immediately reached his hand forward to protect Ye Qianqian’s body from it. He said, “Be careful.”
Fortunately, most of the water remained in the cup.
Ye Qianqian’s face gradually heated up. She pushed his hand away and continued rinsing the cups.
Ye Zhenhua observed it all. Shen Zhilie’s attitude toward Ye Qianqian was clear as the light of day.
From what he could see, Shen Zhilie did indeed treat Ye Qianqian well.
“Shen, who else is in your family?”
“My parents, grandmother, and an older brother.”
“You’re already 27. Your brother is probably older than you by a few years. Is he not married yet?”
“Um...” Shen Zhilie instantly felt awkward.
He suddenly remembered that Shen Luo’an’s ex-wife was Ye Qianqian’s younger sister.
And it was a biological sister!
After some thought, he vaguely replied, “He was married and divorced. Irreconcilable differences.”
“I see...” Ye Zhenhua nodded his head and suddenly turned to Ye Qianqian, “Qianqian, what would you like to eat for dinner tonight?”
“Whatever.”
“What is whatever?”

“What about you, Shen?”
“The same goes for me, Uncle. I’m not a picky eater. But since I’ve already come all the way here, please let me prepare dinner tonight.” Shen Zhilie smiled dazzlingly. Under the sunlight, he looked even more exceptional.
Ye Zhenhua was further surprised and asked, “You can even cook?”
“I know how to make a few simple home-cooked dishes, but I’m not sure if it’ll be to your liking.”
“No. Don’t cook.” Ye Qianqian looked at him in disdain. “My father’s cooking tastes better. You cook the same few dishes every day! If it isn’t stir-fried shredded pork, it’ll be stir-fried eggplant. If it isn’t steamed egg custard, it’ll be steamed egg with minced pork. I’m so sick of eating that!”
“You might be sick of it, but your father has never eaten it before. Give your father a chance to taste my cooking. Otherwise, how would he know if I’m qualified to take care of you in the future?” Shen Zhilie answered with righteous indignation as he pulled her in front of himself.
Ye Qianqian looked at him with faux disdain as she commented, “Yeah, right! Like I need you to take care of me!”
“Are you going to take care of me then? You can’t even take care of yourself!”
“Bullsh*t. I’ve managed well enough on my own for so long. It’s only after you appeared that I’ve not been able to have any peace!”
