Chapter 1688: Sleeping... or Not...

Shen Zhilie was elated at her reaction. His smile revealed his white teeth as he asked, “Would it still be a surprise if you knew about it?”

“Damn it! Are you serious?” Ye Qianqian began bouncing around giddily. “Oh my god! I thought I wouldn’t be able to go any longer! Ha ha!”

When Shen Zhilie saw her acting in this manner, the smile on his face deepened. “You’re happy, aren’t you?”

Ye Qianqian was so happy she could go crazy.

With grocery bags in both hands, she pulled Shen Zhilie’s face close and gave him a huge kiss. “Your reward! Ha ha! Let’s go home!” she declared.

With that, Ye Qianqian turned around and skipped off in the direction of her home.

Shen Zhilie was stunned, but he soon broke out in laughter.

He watched her from the back and laughed aloud. He ran up to her and stated, “You’re taking liberties!”

Ye Qianqian acted as if she hadn’t heard a word he said and yelled out loud, “I’m going to Venice!”

Shen Zhilie rejoiced inwardly. Evidently, what he had done was the right decision.

When they reached home, they found Ye Zhenhua in a conversation with Ye Qianqian’s grandfather. Grandfather was laughing so hard that his face was scrunched up.

When he saw Qianqian return, he remarked, “Qianqian, you’re back!”

Ye Qianqian was in a wonderful mood. She laughingly replied, “I’m back!”

“Whoa! Why are you in such a good mood? Did you pick up treasure along the way?” Ye Zhenhua stood up and relieved them of their grocery bags.

Ye Qianqian laughed out loud and replied, “I did indeed pick up treasure! Father, I’m going back to Kingstown tomorrow. I’ll be going overseas the day after tomorrow!”

“Why will you be going overseas? How long will you be?”

“For leisure. For holiday! Right, when will we be coming back?” Ye Qianqian looked to Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie replied, “I applied for half a month’s visa.”

“What?” Ye Qianqian was confused and replied, “But my ticket is only for five days and six nights. Please don’t tell me you didn’t use that ticket and bought another with your own money!”

Indeed, he had.

When Shen Zhilie saw the expression on Ye Qianqian’s face, he quickly changed his tune and replied, “The visa doesn’t conflict with the travel vouchers.”

Ye Qianqian was reassured when she heard that. “Oh, that’s good, then,” she replied.

“Are the two of you going together?” The expression on Ye Zhenhua’s face was a little strange.

Ye Qianqian didn’t see anything wrong with it and answered readily as she tidied the table, “Yeah, we’ll be able to keep each other company that way.”

“Oh. How many rooms did you reserve?” Ye Zhenhua asked.

Shen Zhilie was shaken when he heard that and quickly looked at Ye Qianqian.

As expected, Ye Qianqian looked at him when she heard the question.

When she saw the look of anticipation in Shen Zhilie’s eyes, she blushed.

She quickly looked away and replied, “Of course we reserved two rooms! Isn’t that a given? We don’t sleep together.”

Shen Zhilie felt Ye Zhenhua’s gaze on him and quickly nodded his head. “Of course! That’s right,” he concurred.

“Hmph.” Ye Zhenhua carried the grocery bags into the kitchen with the same expression on his face, but he didn’t say another word.

Ye Qianqian saw that Ye Zhenhua had left. Left in the sitting room were only Shen Zhilie and herself—the only clearheaded ones—and an old man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

It did feel a little awkward.

Ye Qianqian glared at Shen Zhilie and demanded, “What the hell are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?”

“Ouch.” Shen Zhilie quickly looked away and covered his eyes. He remarked, “What a red hot chili pepper you are! I can’t afford to offend you!”

When Ye Qianqian heard that, she bent over in a bid to remove her slippers.

Shen Zhilie immediately ran off and dashed straight into the yard.

The smile of Ye Qianqian’s face widened when she saw that. She harrumphed happily in self-satisfaction.

The old man saw Ye Qianqian’s demeanor and burst out in laughter. “Qianqian is happy today,” he said.
