The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili had never entered the room before, so didn’t know what the inside looked like. Upon stepping in, she was stunned by the scene that greeted her.

Surrounding them was a sea of blue. Light glistened in the water. Many fish, both big and small, were swimming around lazily. There was even a gentle breeze that blew across, as if it was really in the middle of the sea.

Gurgle. Gurgle.

The sound of water echoed from all directions, immersing the spectators in the setting. At the same time, it aroused a sense of crisis in them.

The little girl was standing on flat ground, but this inexplicable sensation of floating on nothing triggered a sense of trepidation in her. Li Jianyue instinctively grabbed Li Sicheng’s huge hands and moved behind him in apprehension.

However, her big round eyes remained curious as she stared down at the fish swimming all around. Soon, the endless streams of water were enough to wash away her fear and replace it with excitement.

Below their feet were pretty corals and seaweed swaying in the water. Each wave of water glistened with light, making for a beautiful feast for the eyes. Stunning tropical fishes in their many colors gently waved their tails and gave off bubbles with their mouths.

Li Jianqian and Li Mosen were mesmerized by the fish swimming to and fro. It was almost as if they fish were real. They reached out their hands in an attempt to touch them, but their hands went right through them.

Su Qianci sighed with pleasure and amusement at the sight.

Ou Ming looked at the reactions of the children before focusing his attention back on is woman. Yu Lili was staring intently at a shell below. It was opening and closing in an attempt to move. It looked very much like it was laughing.

Yu Lili’s lips began to lift in a smile. “Come and look at this!”

Li Jianyue started to shriek with laughter. She tugged on Li Sicheng’s hands and yelled out, “Daddy, can I come here often to play?”

“You’ll have to ask your Uncle Ou about that,” Li Sicheng said.

When Li Jianyue heard that, she turned to face Ou Ming. Blinking her shiny round eyes, she asked, “Uncle Ou, may I?”

“Of course you may! Anytime!” Ou Ming stroked Li Jianyue head gently. “You can get your brothers to bring you over.”

“Yeah!” Li Jianyue was elated. “Thank you, Uncle!”

“Alright, it’s time for us to go back,” Li Sicheng nudged Su Qianci. “They just got married today.”

Su Qianci immediately understood. Her cheeks blushed slightly as she elbowed him imperceptibly. Nevertheless, she gathered the children.

The children couldn’t bear to leave, especially Li Jianyue. Her round eyes trailed around the whole place. She couldn’t contain her excitement. Regardless of unwilling she was to leave, she still got pulled away by Su Qianci.

“You’re leaving so soon? Stay a little longer!” Yu Lili protested.

“Nah. The children need to go home to shower and sleep. Their routine can’t be messed up.” Su Qianci waved her hand.

Yu Lili nodded her head. “Alright then. Let me walk you back.”

“That’s not necessary. You should stay. It will only take us a few minutes to walk back home. It isn’t far.” Su Qianci pushed her back and patted her on the back on her hand. “Congratulations on being a newlywed.”

Those words made Yu Lili’s heart warm up with emotion. “Thank you, Qianqian.”

Su Qianci chuckled and waved as she turned around. “We’re going!”

After seeing the family off, Yu Lili closed the main door. When she turned around, she saw Ou Ming in the distance holding on to something as he walked over.

He looked as if he’d been caught in the act. He waved her over. In a voice that permitted no argument, he said, “Come here.”
