Ye Qianqian was instantly rendered speechless. "What does she mean we can divorce in the future when we want to?" she thought.

Ye Qianqian looked at Old Madam as she flipped through the almanac, and she pursed her lips before saying, "We won't part ways with each other."

Old Mrs. Shen lifted her head up and took one glance at Ye Qianqian before replying, "That would be best. I actually hope that you won't and that you'll stay together in your lifetime. It's not a bad idea to be happy and harmonious. However…"

"It's difficult to change one's fortune and fate!" she thought.

But Old Mrs. Shen didn't say the remainder of this sentence out loud, and merely focused on picking the dates in the almanac.

But Ye Qianqian felt rather uncomfortable. "Does this old madam actually hope that we'll divorce?" she thought. "Hmgh! How irksome!"

Shen Zhilie cut up the fruits in no time, and after pricking through the fruits with a few fruit forks, he took up a slice of apple and passed it to Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian didn't dare to accept it and took a glance at the Old Madam.

Shen Zhilie then said, "Grandmother, the fruits are here."

"Yeah. Go ahead and eat. I'm busy." Old Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes for a moment. Possibly because she couldn't read clearly, she fished out a box from beneath the coffee table and took out a pair of reading glasses from it.

Shen Zhilie shrugged his shoulders and handed the apple over to Ye Qianqian. The sliced apple had been soaked in salt water, and it tasted pretty good. Most importantly, it hadn't oxidized yet.

Ye Qianqian took a bite out of it, and Shen Zhilie, who was seated next to her, asked gently, "What did Grandmother say to you?"

Ye Qianqian took one glance at Shen Zhilie before saying, "She told us to get married."

Shen Zhilie almost choked on his apple. Staring at Ye Qianqian in disbelief, he said, "Really?"

However, before Ye Qianqian could reply, Shen Zhilie had already looked over at Old Mrs. Shen to ask, "Grandmother, you'll really allow us to get married?"

Old Mrs. Shen took one glance at Shen Zhilie, and when she saw the grin of joy on her grandson's face, she laughed and replied, "Yes, aren't you happy and surprised?"

"Argh!" Shen Zhilie was mad with joy. He quickly walked over to Old Mrs. Shen and hugged her ecstatically. "Grandmother, I love you!" he said.

Old Mrs. Shen indulged him in the moment, but she also felt scornful of his behavior at the same time. She pushed Shen Zhilie away before she said with a look of contempt on her face, "You're so annoying. Who needs your love? Go and love your wife!"

Shen Zhilie was on top of the world, and he hopped around before returning to Ye Qianqian's side and kissing her hard on the lips. "I love you, my wife!" he said.

"My wife…" The address made Ye Qianqian's face turn red. Feeling a pang of guilt in her heart, she couldn't help but ask, "So we can really get married?"

"Of course we can. Grandmother already said so, so we can definitely get married!" Shen Zhilie believed Old Mrs. Shen's words without a doubt, and he stood up and said, "Right, let's break this news to your father. He'll be so happy."

As Shen Zhilie said this, he had already started to leave to go and make the call. However, Ye Qianqian moved forward and held him back. "Hang on," she said. "Are you sure that we can do this? Didn't your grandmother and the blind uncle say that I have to wait until I'm twenty-eight years old?"

"Hmgh, when did I say that you would have to wait until you're twenty-eight years old?" Old Mrs. Shen looked slightly aggrieved as she said, "I merely said that there's a possibility that you won't live past the age of twenty-eight."

Ye Qianqian: "…"

Shen Zhilie: "…You might as well say that we can only get married at twenty-eight years old."

Old Mrs. Shen appeared to be in a good mood. She replied, "It's all right. Get married if you want to. Neither of you are young anymore. It's not too late for you to want a child in a few years."

"Yeah…"

Ye Qianqian exchanged a look with Shen Zhilie. They were both unable to comprehend or react to this sudden surprise.
