Shen Zhilie was holding the phone to his ear, but Ye Qianqian could hear the voice especially clearly.

Ye Qianqian picked up the bread, took a bite out of it, and didn't speak a word. Shen Zhilie took a look at Ye Qianqian, then stood up and walked to the balcony.

Ye Qianqian looked at him with a feeling of guilt in her heart. Was she being a little selfish? Knowing that Shen Zhilie's grandmother didn't like her, she still wanted to be with Shen Zhilie.

But Shen Zhilie's parents seemed to have had a pretty good impression of her…

Ye Qianqian felt a little torn inside. Watching Shen Zhilie struggling on the phone, a helpless look on his face, she took a sip of milk and stood up.

Shen Zhilie looked at Ye Qianqian with a puzzled face. Instead of walking to him, Ye Qianqian picked up her bag and hung it on her shoulder. "I'm going to work," she said.

"You haven't finished your breakfast yet."

"Yeah…" Ye Qianqian went over and drank up the milk. Then, she took the bread and ate it as she walked out.

Shen Zhilie wanted to speak to her, but there seemed to be chaos on the other end of the phone.

When Ye Qianqian walked out of the corridor, her heart felt empty. She finished the bread in two or three bites, then pressed the elevator button.

No rush, no rush. She could wait for two more years. Who knew what it would be like after two years? Maybe, as Grandma Shen Zhilie said, she would die at the age of twenty-eight. Or, as the blind uncle said, she was going to be tortured by evil people. Or maybe neither of them got it right. Because they had revealed what the universe had planned, the universe would thus change her fate and give her and Shen Zhilie a happy and fulfilling ending.

Ding. When the elevator arrived, there was a man standing inside. But Ye Qianqian didn't notice him. She walked inside, absent-minded. She stood there with a mess of thoughts in her head, but the elevator didn't move. The person behind her suddenly said, "You haven't pressed the button yet."

He sounded like a man in his thirties. Ye Qianqian was startled by the sudden voice. She looked back and saw a man in a black suit and a black cap. He was very tall, and his face was covered by the cap. She could only see purplish acne on one half of his face.

Ye Qianqian suddenly snapped back to reality after taking a look at him and pressed the first-floor button. However, something strange suddenly came to her mind after she pressed the elevator button.

Indeed, she had forgotten to press the button. But the man inside the elevator had obviously been standing in it for a long time and even knew to remind her that she didn't press the button. So why didn't he press it himself in the first place?

Ye Qianqian thought the man was acting a little strange, so she naturally tilted her head and glanced at him.

The man seemed to notice that Ye Qianqian was examining him. He reached out and lowered the brim of his cap. It was like he had deliberately lowered his voice as he blurted out, "What are you looking at?"

'How aggressive!' Ye Qianqian turned back around and stopped looking at him.

Ding. The elevator arrived on the first floor. Ye Qianqian walked out after the doors opened, but before she could take a few steps out of the elevator, the man immediately rushed out from behind.

Ye Qianqian was overcome by surprise. By the time she realized what was happening, the man had already taken quite a few steps away.

There was a small white bag on the ground. Ye Qianqian looked at it and shouted to the man, "Hey, you dropped something!"

When she went to pick it up, the man suddenly turned around and snapped, "Give it back to me!"
