"Why are you still lying then?" Ye Qianqian sounded indignant. "The terms would be different for another company."
"Well..." Shen Zhilie held his wife close to him. "You do have a point. But I think there must be some misunderstanding between her and my brother. My brother has been quite depressed lately. Now he's busy taking care of his child and rarely works in the research laboratory."
Ye Qianqian noticed the change in him too.
But was it appropriate to lie to Shen Manting?
"What if she thinks we conspired to lie to her? Won't that place Big Brother in an awkward position?"
Shen Zhilie thought her point made sense.
But once the deed had been done, could they take it back?
It was too late.
It was now up to Shen Manting to decide whether to accept the offer or not.
Shen Zhilie was tired. He closed his eyes and was soon fast asleep with his wife in his embrace.
