Chapter 1711 (1/2)

She braced herself for the pain and quickly sat down in the bathtub in one motion. She turned on the faucet. Warm water began pouring in.

Halfway through her bath, she heard the doorbell ring.

It was probably housekeeping.

After lingering in the bathroom for more than 10 minutes, Ye Qianqian slowly hobbled out.

The bed sheets had been changed, and the bed looked clean and neat.

Shen Zhilie was sitting on the bed. He was dressed in a pair of pajamas.

“Whoa! You’re dressed conservatively!” Ye Qianqian teased as she let her hair down.

“Of course! A middle-aged lady came to change the sheets just now! Was I supposed to give her a peek too?” Shen Zhilie flipped the covers open and patted the empty spot beside him. “Come here,” he said.

Ye Qianqian’s body was feeling somewhat lifeless. She looked at his invitation warily and asked, “What are you up to?”

Shen Zhilie burst out laughing and helplessly replied, “What can I do? We were at it for so long just now that I’m exhausted too! Come here.”

Ye Qianqian made her way over cautiously. Her legs were aching badly. It was a relief when she finally sat down.

Lying back comfortably, Ye Qianqian felt so tired that she knew she’d fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

Shen Zhilie laid down and covered her with the blanket. He stretched his leg out sideways and pinned her down with it. “When we return from this trip, don’t go back to Kingstown. Just go back straight to the Capital with me.”

“What?” Ye Qianqian’s sense of fatigue immediately disappeared. She opened her eyes at looked at Shen Zhilie. “What the hell? So soon?”

“How long were you expecting to wait? We’ve already progressed to this stage. Are you telling me that you don’t intend to marry me?” Shen Zhilie stared at Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian was a little hesitant.
