  Shen Zhilie turned to look and saw a woman in her thirties. She had curly blonde hair, and she looked very familiar.

  At that moment, the woman was looking at Shen Zhilie with ridicule in her eyes. “Oh my god!” she exclaimed. “It really is you! You’re out in public! Can’t you act with a little more propriety?”


  When Shen Zhilie saw that it was her, he rolled his eyes discourteously and replied, “Oh, come on! Can you not ruin a good thing for me? Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to convince my wife to kiss me?”


  Disdain appeared on the woman’s face, and she retorted, “Wife? You’re married? How do I not know about this?”


  “Soon-to-be. I’ll give you a shout-out when my wedding comes.”


  Ye Qianqian was trying very hard to cover her embarrassed face with her hair. Her face was as red as a tomato. She was so mortified that she couldn’t bring herself to raise her head. It was bad enough that they had been caught in the act, but from the tone of Shen Zhilie’s voice, it seemed that he knew the lady well!

  The woman looked at Ye Qianqian and remarked, “Oh my! She’s a beauty! Aren’t you going to introduce us?”


  Shen Zhilie put his arm around Ye Qianqian and said, “This is my girlfriend, Ye Qianqian.”


  When Ye Qianqian heard that, she had no choice but to look up. She offered her hand in greeting to the woman and said, “Hello……”


  “Oh, hello! How are you? I’m Zhuang Caidie. I live next door.”


  Zhuang Caidie looked at Ye Qianqian and a sudden expression of surprise appeared on her face. She said, “Why does your girlfriend look so familiar to me? Have I seen her before?”


  “Of course. Do you remember Ye Youyou?”


  “Oh…… your ex sister-in-law? Of course I do!” With that, realization dawned on Zhuang Caidie, and she said, “I was wondering where I’d seen you before! Are you possibly Ye Youyou’s sister? You look alike, and your names are alike, too.”


  “Yeah…… we’re twins—not identical, but fraternal. That’s why we don’t look identical.”


  “I see!” Zhuang Caidie beamed. “But I must say that you have good taste. Little Shenshen has always been a good kid. He’s never brought any girl home before. You’re the first that I’ve seen.”


  When Shen Zhilie heard that, he looked at Ye Qianqian with an aggrieved expression on his face and said, “I told you so! Even Sister Caidie says so! I’m genuinely good! You’re not to doubt me again in the future! I feel so maligned!”


  Ye Qianqian glared at him, but when she noticed the obscure expression that Zhuang Caidie shot her way, her face reddened, and she said, “I was just joking! I didn’t doubt you.”


  Shen Zhilie was elated when he heard that. He hugged Ye Qianqian’s arms and commented, “That’s the way to go! I’ll never do anything to let you down. I’m very loyal with my feelings! You agree with me, don’t you, Sister Caidie?”


  Zhuang Caidie rolled her eyes at him and replied, “Ugh, enough from you. All right. I won’t stay to chat. My child is alone at home. I’m going back to feed my kid.”


  “Sure. Bye, Sister Caidie.” That was exactly what Shen Zhilie wanted, and he quickly waved her off.

  Zhuang Caidie was infuriated and tickled at the same time as she admonished, “Rascal! How dare you!” She walked forward and said, “Fine, I’m off! Bye, Qianqian.”


  “Goodbye, Sister Caidie.”


  Zhuang Caidie walked over and whispered as she brushed past Ye Qianqian’s shoulder, “If you’re going to marry the guy, be careful of his grandmother. That old lady is really hard to manage.” With that, she resumed her distance and waved goodbye to the couple.

  Ye Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, and she nodded her head immediately.

  “I’m off!” Zhuang Caidie finally left for real.

  Unfortunately, Ye Qianqian’s heart began to feel extremely ill at ease.
