The 99th Divorce

When Yu Lili heard the change in the way Ou Ming addressed her, the corners of her lips turned up as her heart soared.

“Then, shall we have French cuisine? It’ll be your wife’s treat,” she said.

Ou Ming loved French cuisine. Yu Lili did too, but she rarely ventured into such luxurious dining places.

Observing her beaming smile radiating with happiness, Ou Ming seized her in an embrace. With a smile on his own face, he bent down to face her. His smile was mischievous and playful when he asked in a low voice, “Are you intending to make a kept man out of your husband?”

“You’re so handsome! It’ll be a pity if you aren’t a kept man!” Yu Lili wiggled her brows. Her smile reached her eyes and turned them into little crescents. “Come along, Kept Man. Let’s go for lunch.”

Ou Ming chuckled and was pulled in the direction Yu Lili was headed.

Just was Yu Lili was about to flag a taxi, Ou Ming stopped her and said, “You drive.”

Yu Lili was surprised. “You drove over here?”

Ou Ming laughed without replying and looked over at a distance not too far off.

Yu Lili followed his line of sight and blinked her eyes. There was a blazing red all-terrain vehicle. It was the Jeep she had always liked. The lines on the vehicle were tough, and its shape was handsome and compelling.

The red Jeep made its way over to them. The driver inside got out.

Yu Lili recognized the person in one glance. This individual was none other Ou Ming’s most capable assistant, Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng walked over to Ou Ming with quick steps and called out, “Master Ou.” As he spoke, he offered the car keys over.

Ou Ming took the keys from him and passed them to Yu Lili. In a warm and gentle voice, he said, “It’s a wedding present. Do you like it?”

A wedding present?

“There’s even a wedding present?” Yu Lili asked giddily. She just looked at the keys and refused to take them. “But, I don’t want it, Ou Ming.”

She hadn’t married him to get a good deal out of him. At this point in time, Ou Ming’s mother probably hadn’t found out that they were already legally and officially married. If she found out about this, wouldn’t that be adding fuel to the fire?

“I’m afraid you can’t.” Ou Ming shook his head and shoved the keys into Yu Lili’s palm. “I can’t drive with my hand in this state. Furthermore, I’m ‘blind.’ Before I fully recover, you’re going to have to drive me around.”

“Did you marry a wife or a driver?” Yu Lili glared at him and didn’t sound too pleased with his statement.

Ou Ming grinned and pulled her with him toward the car as he replied, “Both. The wife must know how to handle a joystick well. Otherwise, how will we be comfortable?”

Xu Cheng’s straight face grimaced a little. His face reddened as he cleared his throat.

Only then did Yu Lili react. She elbowed him softly and murmured, “Stop being such a hooligan!”

To that, Ou Ming turned his innocent face to her. With a hint of helplessness, he asked, “What were you thinking? Your mind is so dirty!”

Yu Lili felt even more awkward and pushed him away. She snatched his keys over and headed for the driver’s seat.

Xu Cheng watched as they drove off. He flagged a taxi and went back on his own.

When they got to the revolving restaurant at the Kingstown Tower, Yu Lili and Ou Ming sat by a window-side table.

The place was quiet. Ou Ming watched as Yu Lili placed the orders before he got up and headed to the washroom.

Yu Lili sat by the window on her own, gazing off into the distance. Her heart was oozing with sweetness. Her face was numb from her uncontrollable smiles.

But, this feeling… felt so good.

Ding! Dong!

The sound came from not far behind her. Yu Lili turned her head and was met with a huge bouquet of bright fiery red roses.
