The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1929

Chapter 1929: A Friendship for Over More Than a Decade

Fang Tongtong’s home wasn’t actually here inside the shop but in a small villa at the back.

Over the years, her family had become pretty well-to-do. However, most of their waking hours were spent at the shop, which naturally became their second home. Inside was a couch, tea sets, and furniture. It was well furnished.

When Fang Tongtong entered, she took out a package.

It looked to be a jewelry box.

“Here. This is for you,” she said.

Fang Tongton sat on a stool and asked, “What would you like to drink? I recently learned how to brew coffee. Would you like to try some?”

Ye Qianqian also sat down and started opening the present without a second thought. She replied, “No, thanks. I won’t be able to fall asleep tonight if I do. It’s already been a few days. I need to recuperate.”

“Huh? You’re not feeling well?”

“Not at all.” Ye Qianqian finally managed to open the wrapping and said, “We’re trying for a baby, and I’ll be going for a medical checkup when I get back.”

Fang Tongtong suddenly felt sad when she heard this. She looked at Ye Qianqian and asked, “Have you gotten married?”

“Not yet,” Ye Qianqian said, looking at her. “If I were married, wouldn’t you have known about it? I still have to have a wedding.”

Fang Tongtong felt reassured when she heard this. She observed Ye Qianqian’s progress with the packaging and exclaimed exasperatedly, “Can’t you open it? You’re already been at it for half the day, and you still can’t get it open. Let me do it!”

“No!” Ye Qianqian twisted away and held the bag out of reach. “Can’t you be a little more sincere? How can you give someone a gift and then complain that they’re opening it too slowly? You’re so weird.”

Though Ye Qianqian said this disdainfully, Fang Tongtong couldn’t help but laugh.

Ye Qianqian gave her a side-eyed look and muttered, “Crazy woman.”

“You’re the one who’s crazy.”

“I wasn’t even talking about you, so why did you respond?”

“Bullsh*t. We’re the only two people here. If you weren’t talking about me, who were you referring to?”

“I was referring to the air! You have a problem with that?” Ye Qianqian retorted with righteous indignation.

Ye Qianqian finally finished unwrapping the present. It was indeed a jewelry box.

She opened the box and found a ruby inside. It was quite large and was in the shape of a key. There were diamonds around it.

Ye Qianqian was stunned when she saw it.

She looked up at Fang Tongtong and asked, “Did you suddenly strike it rich? Why did you get me something so expensive? What the hell!”

“I didn’t strike it rich.” The smile fell from Fang Tongtong’s face. “I just wanted to apologize to you.”

“Apologize?” Ye Qianqian looked at the incredibly luxurious necklace.

She unabashedly calculated its value in her head. This necklace had to cost at least tens of thousands.

Or perhaps even more.

“Yeah.” Fang Tongtong looked at Ye Qianqian and continued, “I’m sorry about what happened before, Qianqian.”

Ye Qianqian didn’t say anything in reply. She stared at the necklace in her hands and nodded her head in approval. “I like the sincerity of your apology,” she quipped.

“Ha! That goes without saying! This necklace was bought with all my savings from over the years!” Fang Tongtong said ruefully. “D*mn it! I could never stomach buying something this expensive for myself!”

Ye Qianqian closed the box and looked at Fang Tongtong solemnly. “Don’t worry,” she said. “I’ll treasure it well.”

Fang Tongtong glared at her, but soon broke out in a smile.

Ye Qianqian gazed at her, her lips turning up in a smile before she changed the topic.

She had initially thought that it would be very awkward coming here to meet Fang Tongtong.

But she finally realized that regardless of what had happened, their friendship, which was older than a decade, was still strong.

F*ck the awkwardness! It was all in her head!
