The 99th Divorce

Chapter 2111: Li Jianlin

It was only a dream…

A very realistic dream.

She felt devastated as though the baby had really left her.

Ye Qianqian hugged Shen Zhilie gently, she wanted to say something but she felt terribly choked and her voice could not seem to work.

She could barely say a word.

Shen Zhilie looked at her worriedly before kissing her and then wiping her tears away carefully and tenderly.

Ye Qianqian could hardly conceal the fact that she was on the verge of breaking down and eventually, she burst out into tears.

"There, there," said Shen Zhilie in an attempt to comfort her; he felt as though his heart was being cut up into a thousand pieces. "It'll be fine. He'll return to us sooner or later," said Shen Zhilie.

"Old Shen… Old Shen…" sobbed Ye Qianqian as she hugged him tightly in devastation. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" she continued sobbing.

"What nonsense," said Shen Zhilie, frustrated and angry with himself. "It's not your fault. It's mine. If I had stayed by your side at all times, nothing would have happened to you. You can beat me up, Qianqian. Just don't cry anymore," he said.

Shen Zhilie was also having some difficulties getting a grip on himself, he too sounded like he was choking on his own tears. "Please. Don't cry anymore. You need to be strong, especially at this point in time. How can I live with myself if you go blind from crying?" said Shen Zhilie.

Even if a woman had a miscarriage, she still had to be confined.

This is because, during this period of time, it is the easiest for any lingering ailments to plant its roots.

"Do it for my sake, alright?" Shen Zhilie asked pleasingly as he embraced her. "You have to be strong for the sake of our next child. What if you develop a cataract or glaucoma from crying and pass it on to our child?" he questioned worriedly.

Ye Qianqian had been crying uncontrollably but after hearing what he said, she suddenly burst out into laughter.

She then shoved him aside. Unable to cry or laugh, she yelled out, "Get lost!"

Shen Zhilie, too, laughed and continued to say, "That's right. You should take care of both your mental and physical health. That's the most important thing. So, smile!"

After the hubbub, Ye Qianqian did not feel like crying anymore.

She wiped her eyes and sniffled as she looked at him.

Shen Zhilie then turned serious and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Yes," she replied.

"I'll go grab some supper. I'll be right back," he said.

"Don't go," pleaded Ye Qianqian. As she looked at him, she immediately felt like crying again. "Have you informed my sister?" she asked.

Shen Zhilie nodded and said, "She came to visit you earlier this afternoon and sat there for more than an hour. However, you did not wake you so, she left."

"What time is it now?" Ye Qianqian asked.

"Hmm, it's 9:30 p.m," replied Shen Zhilie after he glanced at his watch.

"Could you call Youyou over then? Ask her to buy some supper too," said Ye Qianqian as she wiped her eyes and sniffled. "Also, ask her if Jianlin's asleep. If he's still awake, then tell her to bring him along as well," she said.

When Shen Zhilie heard this, he said, "Jianlin's still young. Two-year-old kids should be asleep at this time. I'll ask her to bring him over tomorrow. I'll give her a call first."

"Ok," said Ye Qianqian.

Shen Zhilie then called Ye Youyou in the presence of Ye Qianqian.

However, the call was only picked up after a long time.

Li Jinnan, instead of Ye Youyou, was the one who answered the phone.

"Brother-in-law," Li Jinnan called out calmly. "Is Sister-in-law awake?" he asked.

"Yes," replied Shen Zhilie. "If you guys are free, do drop by. Qianqian wants to see your son," he said.

"Alright, wait for us. We'll head over now," Li Jinnan said. "Sister-in-law just woke up?" he asked.

"Yes," said Shen Zhilie.

"In that case, I'll bring some food along as well. It's probably better for her to have some porridge to nourish her. Will porridge be alright?" asked Li Jinnan.

"Yes," answered Shen Zhilie.

"Alright, bye," said Li Jinnan before he hung up.

Shen Zhilie fell silent.

"Was that Jinnan?" asked Ye Qianqian. She could tell the moment she saw Shen Zhilie's expression.

"Yes," said Shen Zhilie. He then looked at her, his face tinted with displeasure. "He's an extremely detailed and thorough person. He even thought of bringing supper before I even said anything," he continued.
