Chapter 1891: Awkward as Hell

She was caught by his parents . What was the point of sneaking off to a hotel, then?

Ye Qianqian was reluctantly dragged into the car, and she had no choice but to follow them to Shen’s house .

However, although Ye Qianqian was no longer willing to go there, she still had to fake the appearance of being overly happy and eager to go .

It was very cold in the capital . The plants, trees, and all kinds of greenery nearby were completely bare, and ice still clung to the branches . Even though the festive lanterns were still hanging around, it all had a very monotonous feel to it .

It was indeed cold . Unlike the cold, wet weather in the south, the cold weather here tended to make one feel particularly dried out .

Fortunately, there was a heater in the car, and Ye Qianqian was finally able to sit down .

When they arrived at Shen’s house, they found the old woman sitting on the couch inside . She was twisting a strand of Buddhist beads with Sanskrit engraved on them .

She was a little underdressed . She wore only two black Cheongsam pieces, which were decorated with dark red embroidery . Her short white hair fell over her ears .

She couldn’t help but do a double take when she spotted Ye Qianqian coming toward her .

Old Mrs . Shen sat as still as a statue on the sofa . “You’ve returned,” she said .

After glancing at Shen Zhilie, she said, “All you do is wander about . You went to Kingstown just yesterday, and you’re back today . I thought you were going to celebrate Chinese New Year in Kingstown . ”

Zhilie pulled his luggage inside and said with a smile, “How could I? I still want to stay with my grandmother . ”

“I’m afraid it’s not only me that you want to stay with, is it?” Old Mrs . Shen took a look at Ye Qianqian .

Ye Qianqian felt a little embarrassed and said, “Hi, Grandma . Happy New Year!”

“Happy New Year to you too . Nanny He, why don’t you go tidy up a guest room for her . ”

Nanny He was feeling a little embarrassed . She glanced over at Shen Zhilie, indicating that she was asking for his opinion on this .

Shen Zhilie said, “Why bother? She can just sleep with me in my room . ”

“No, no, no,” Ye Qianqian said . She felt even more embarrassed . “I’d better sleep in the guest room, or I can just leave and stay in a hotel . ”

“What hotel?” Old Mrs . Shen’s tone was a little harsh . She looked up at Ye Qianqian and said, “People who didn’t know better would think that I was abusing my grandson’s girlfriend . Hmph . ”

Ye Qianqian was speechless . She forced a dry smile, feeling utterly embarrassed .

Shen Zhilie noticed and became unhappy . “Grandmother,” he said, “how can you speak so rudely during the Spring Festival?”

“You want your grandmother to speak properly, then?” Old lady Shen looked at Shen Zhilie with contempt . “It’s not like you don’t know what your grandmother is like,” she said . “Aren’t you asking for too much?”

Shen Zhilie thought that she was being completely unreasonable .

Nanny He silently brought Ye Qianqian’s luggage to the guest room, then came back and said, “Miss Ye, I’ll help you tidy up the place . ”

Ye Qianqian waved her hand and said, “I’d better do it by myself . You should go do your own work . I can handle this little thing on my own . ”

Old Mrs . Shen took a glance at Ye Qianqian and relaxed a little bit . She twisted the Buddha beads in her hands without speaking .

Shen Zhilie looked at Ye Qianqian, then went up to her and said, “Let me help you unpack your things . Come on . ”

He walked into the guest room with Ye Qianqian and closed the door behind them .

As soon as Ye Qianqian entered the room, she tried to listen for voices outside . She couldn’t tell if simply no one was talking or if the insulation in the wall was too thick, but she couldn’t hear a single word .

She turned around and glared at Shen Zhilie . She gave him a push and said, “Didn’t we have a deal that I would stay in the hotel first while you took care of your grandmother? Now what do I do? I’m embarrassed as hell!”
