Chapter 1860: How Did Your Belly Grow So Quickly?

When they finally reached Ye Youyou’s home, it had been two full hours since they had set off. A glance at the clock revealed that it was almost twelve.

This was a famous villa estate in Kingstown, and all its residents were either the rich or the powerful. All the cars they passed were luxury ones, and Shen Zhilie’s bright-colored Porsche no longer stood out.

Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian tried to find the place from memory, but after driving in circles, they still couldn’t find Li Jinnan’s home. Ye Qianqian had no choice but to give Ye Youyou a call.

Ye Youyou was in the middle of cooking when she received Ye Qianqian’s call. She burst out laughing unceremoniously and asked, “Where are you now?”

“Um… we’re at number three…”

“My place is number eight. You’ll see a black iron gate with a pot of roses at the entrance. Head south, then head east, and you’ll see it.”

Ye Qianqina was silent for a moment before responding, “Can’t you use left and right in your directions? How on earth am I supposed to know where North, South, East, and West are?”

Ye Youyou laughed aloud. “Isn’t Shen Zhilie with you? Have him show you the way. I’m busy cooking, so I’m going to hang up now.”

Ye Qianqian gritted her teeth when she heard the disconnect tone. Shen Zhilie glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, “Where should I go?”

“Head south, and then east.”

Shen Zhilie stepped on the gas pedal immediately and sped off. Ye Qianqian widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, “You know where that is?”

“Not everyone is unable to identify North, South, East, and West like you!” Shen Zhilie remarked with a sense of self-satisfaction. “I’m not nicknamed ‘The Live Map’ for nothing!”

“Well, I have the GPS to help me when I go out! I just didn’t know the house number!” Ye Qianqian said indignantly. She puffed her chest out and challenged, “I dare you to enter the house number into the GPS system. I can guarantee that we’ll be there in no time.”

“All right! Fine.” Shen Zhilie couldn’t contain his smile. “There’s a box of biscuits in the back of the car. Give that to Youyou,” he said.

“What? When did you buy a box of biscuits?”

Shen Zhilie rubbed his nose in embarrassment before replying, “I’ve had it for a while. My colleague gave it to me a while ago. Since we can’t exactly go to Youyou’s home empty-handed, I brought it along as a gift.”

“Well, she’s my sister. You don’t have to stand on ceremony.” But, despite saying this, she nevertheless turned back to retrieve the box of biscuits.

The biscuits were of an expensive brand and were boxed pretty elaborately. “How long have these biscuits been kept for?” Ye Qianqian asked. “Can they still be eaten?”

“Yeah. The shelf life of such products is at least half a year, isn’t it? I’m sure they can still be eaten.”

Shen Zhilie wasn’t genuinely sure either and quickly checked the expiration date. Only when he had verified that the biscuits were indeed still edible did he feel reassured.

“Here it is!” Ye Qianqian saw a cluster of particularly lush red roses climbing up some railings and fanning out in a floral display.

Behind the black iron railings was a beautiful green yard. One look, and it was obvious that the property was huge.

This wasn’t Ye Qianqian’s first visit, but it still took her breath away. With a tinge of envy in her eyes, Ye Qianqian unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car with the box of biscuits in her hands.

While the envy in her eyes wasn’t obvious, Shen Zhilie noticed it nonetheless. He didn’t say a word and merely parked the car and got out before heading to the entrance and pressing the doorbell.

The door opened very quickly. When Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie walked in, they were greeted by the luxurious yet simple interior of the house. Ye Youyou was in the middle of preparing the last dish when she saw them enter and said, “You’re here! Just in time for lunch! Sister, why don’t you come and help me?”

“Sure!” Ye Qianqian took off her shoes and changed into a clean pair of slippers before heading in. However, when she saw Ye Youyou remove her apron, she asked in surprise, “How did your belly grow so quickly?”
