When Ye Qianqian saw how pleased Shen Zhilie was with himself and his little trick, she was irate.

The waiter soon approached their table with the food. Shen Zhilie couldn’t help but be in higher spirits.

“Excuse me, sir. Your food is here.”

Shen Zhilie picked up his chopsticks and announced, “Awesome! Let’s eat! I’m so hungry. I waited for a particular someone at the airport for over two hours! Oh my god, my legs almost gave way from that much standing!”

Ye Qianqian retorted, “Bullsh*t! Couldn’t you go back on your own? What the hell was with you insisting on someone picking you up?”

“I told you I didn’t have any money with me! Don’t you remember? I was the one who paid for your medical bills! What’s wrong with picking me up from the airport just once?” Shen Zhilie rebutted indignantly with his chest puffed out. It was obvious he didn’t see anything wrong with his words.

Ye Qianqian glared at him and angrily replied, “Are you even a man? Does your future wife know what a calculator you are?”

“Hey! It requires effort to be a calculator! When the batteries run dry, you need to replace them! Besides, I was just mentioning it in passing. How does that make me calculative?”

Ye Qianqian snickered at him and gave him a look of disdain before turning her head away without another word.

“Alright, both of you. Enough. You’re adults! Why are you behaving so childishly? What’s there to argue about?” Ye Youyou chuckled as she placed some food on Li Jinnan’s plate. “Try this,” she urged.

“Oh my god, I can practically smell the love in the air.” Ye Qianqian harrumphed as she looked at them with feigned contempt.

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he paused for a moment and placed the food that he had been about to put in his mouth into Ye Qianqian’s bowl instead. “Try this,” he mimicked.

Thunderclouds loomed in Ye Qianqian’s mind when she saw that. She protested, “Ew! Get lost! That’s disgusting!”

Shen Zhilie didn’t look like he minded her revulsion and laughingly picked up more food with his chopsticks.

As he picked them, he said, “I was only doing that to satisfy you, an old spinster...”

“You’re the spinster!”

“Hey, stop interrupting me all the time. I’m not done speaking yet!”

“Forget it. Stop talking. Nothing good is going to come out of your dog mouth anyway.” Ye Qianqian rolled her eyes at him.

Shen Zhilie replied, “Hey, you and I are birds of the same feather! If my mouth is a dog’s mouth, what does that make yours?”

“Shut your mouth!”

“Well...” Shen Zhilie’s brows furrowed together in concentration. He earnestly asked, “What sort of a mouth is a ‘shut-your’ mouth?”

Ye Youyou couldn’t hold back her laughter. Li Jinnan looked at them and matter-of-factly asked, “Are you two living together?”

At that question, Ye Qianqian’s mind went blank.

She instinctively glared at Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie’s face was a canvas of innocence. He met Ye Qianqian’s killer glare with a shrug of his shoulders.

Ye Qianqian laughed dryly and replied, “What makes you ask that?”

Li Jinnan’s question had been exactly the same question in Ye Youyou’s mind.

When she heard the awkward tone in her Ye Qianqian’s side-stepping reply, she looked squarely at her sister. Curiosity brimmed in her eyes.

“I’m just curious. You two seem very close.” Li Jinnan took a sip of his soup and didn’t look up at all.

“Not at all! You’re overthinking it!” Ye Qianqian bent her head down to eat. Her eyes avoided contact with anyone as she said, “We just meet occasionally for lunch.”

“Is that so?” Ye Youyou’s intuition told her that wasn’t the case at all.

Their relationship looked very close.

At the very least, the dynamics of the verbal sparring that had just taken place couldn’t have developed overnight.

She was beginning to feel that they were somewhat perfect for each other.
