Chapter 1794: I Truly Love You
Shen Zhilie could tell that Ye Qianqian had lost weight since they had been apart.
Her complexion looked bad, and her already petite body frame appeared even frailer and too weak to withstand a gust of wind.
It was early autumn, so the weather was growing increasingly cold.
Ye Qianqian was dressed in a beige, sleeveless short dress that Shen Zhilie had never seen before. It appeared to be very thin.
If it was in the past, Shen Zhilie would have pulled her into his arms and chided her while he warmed her up before he brought her home to snuggle in their duvet.
“But it’s impossible now… Impossible…”
Shen Zhilie stretched out his hand, but he did not reach it over to her.
Ye Qianqian forced herself to appear calm and curl her lips up into a smile. “Thanks, goodbye.”
Ye Qianqian turned around. A sudden gust of cold breeze blew toward her. It made her body gently tremble.
Shen Zhilie’s throat felt increasingly choked up. He felt as though his heart was being smothered by an invisible hand.
He wanted to step forward, but his rational mind stopped him in his tracks.
Ultimately, he could not resist himself from calling out, “Qianqian.”
Ye Qianqian paused in her tracks. Her body stiffened, but she did not turn her head around. Forcing herself to sound calm, she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I truly love you.”
Shen Zhilie’s voice was slightly soft. The biting cold breeze blew next to Ye Qianqian’s ears. However, his faint voice still landed in her ears.
Cold arrows pierced through her heart. They were so fatal and cold that it chilled her body.
Ye Qianqian straightened her back and marched straight ahead.
A cab was driving right toward her. After Ye Qianqian flagged it down, she got into the taxi.
She did not turn her head around to look at Shen Zhilie.
Once I have second thoughts about some people and certain things, I will be caught up in a crazy messy once again.
Let this be it.
It’s enough to experience a bloody betrayal like this once.
After Ye Qianqian reached home and shoved the door open, she caught sight of the pretty fish tank.
It was rectangular and illuminated with pretty and brilliant white filament lights.
There were two thumb-sized tropical fish swimming in the tank. The lush seaweed swayed along gently with the water ripples while dark red corals opened and closed.
It was breathtaking.
Everything was just like how she had imagined.
However, Ye Qianqian felt as though someone had stabbed her heart a few times. Tears uncontrollably flooded out from her eyes.
“I truly love you.”
F*ck your true love. I don’t give a damn! Ye Qianqian squatted down and curled her body up as she loudly bawled.
After a long time had passed, she finally stood up and wiped her eyes dry. She took a shower and laid down in bed.
Go to sleep.
It’ll be a brand new day when you wake up.
Ye Qianqian was woken up by the sound of the buzzing phone in the morning.
It was the landline in her house.
Ye Qianqian got up and lazily dragged her feet over to the phone to answer the call.
“Hello?”
“Qianqian, are you awake?” It was Ye Zhenhua
“I just woke up. It’s a Sunday. I intend to sleep a while longer.”
“Oh. Oh right, did you know that Fang Tongtong returned to Yun Town?”
When Ye Qianqian heard Fang Tongtong’s name, she instantly lost all sense of sluggishness. She focused her eyes and replied calmly, “Yeah.”
“I heard that you broke up with Shen?”
“How did you know?”
“It seems like it’s true then,” Ye Zhenhua sighed. “Shen seemed so honest. I never would have expected him to be such a person. No matter what, Fang Tongtong was your friend and great, yet he actually drove you guys apart!”
After a moment of silence, Ye Qianqian replied, “Dad, what do you know?”
“What do I know? It almost spread across the entire town already! They said that your boyfriend raped Fang Tongtong and robbed her of her chastity. Say, how could he do such a thing!”
When Ye Qianqian heard that, her eyes popped out from her sockets.
