The 99th Divorce

Personally, Yu Lili sympathized very much with Shen Manting. When she heard her words, her heart was filled with compassion. After a moment’s consideration, she agreed to it.

After that, Yu Lili and Shen Manting didn’t really have much to talk about. They randomly exchanged a few more sentences. Yu Lili left Shen Manting’s room soon after.

Yu Lili finally made it to the kitchen for her drink of water before heading back to her bedroom. The more she thought about it, the more she felt as if something was off.

Why would Shen Manting suddenly want to be my bridesmaid for no rhyme or reason? Is she harboring an ulterior motive?

Yu Lili suddenly flipped herself up in bed. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that something was up.

I can’t be blamed for thinking this way. Indeed, there is too much about Shen Manting that makes me uneasy. Is she intending to seduce Ou Ming?

The more she thought of it, the more she became sure of it. Yu Lili picked her phone up and sent Ou Ming a text message.

It was the weekend, yet Ye Youyou didn’t leave the house. She slept in until it was past 10 a.m. By the time she woke up, the sun was high in the sky.

After washing up and having breakfast, she changed into a tracksuit and put on a pair of earphones before heading to the gym. Before she left the apartment complex, she scanned her surroundings.

Shen Luo’an wasn’t aware of her new mobile number, and Ye Youyou had blocked him from sending her any emails. He didn’t know which building she lived in either. Is it possible that he’d just lie in wait for me here?

She scanned her surroundings and realized that there wasn’t anyone around. She released a sigh of relief. At the same time, her heart felt a ridiculous sense of disappointment. He had still left after all.

After her workout, Ye Youyou received news from Shen Zhilie: Sister-in-law, have you reached yet? It’s almost time!

Ye Youyou looked at the odd WeChat message and replied in confusion: ???

Immediately following that, Shen Zhilie called her.

“Have you arrived? Weren’t you supposed to come to the hospital today?” Shen Zhilie’s voice carried a tinge of uncertainty. “She’s emotionally not in a very stable condition today. She might not be able to receive visitors afterward.”

“What? Brother-in-law, did you get the wrong person?” Ye Youyou asked.

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he was even more unsure of himself. He replied, “Didn’t you come back to the Capital together with my brother? Aren’t the two of you supposed to visit Guan Queye at 2 p.m.? Did you change your minds?”

Ye Youyou was silent for a while before she said, “I don’t know. Guan Queye is at your hospital?”

Shen Zhilie replied, “Yeah. Didn’t my brother tell you? That’s weird…”

“No, he didn’t…” Ye Youyou suddenly thought back to the previous day. Was the reason Shen Luo’an came to find her because of that?

She asked a little about Guan Queye’s situation. When she heard that Guan Queye was doing fine, she made a few sounds of assent and hung up the phone.

Guan Queye had finally come around…

It had been seven years. Had she fully regained her consciousness? It was about time she proved Ye Youyou’s innocence.

What happened back then was the thorn that existed between her and Shen Luo’an. If Guan Queye could explain everything, did that mean that everything could be OK between them? She would still be Ye Youyou, and he would still be her beloved Shen Luo’an. Everything could go back to the way they once were…

Ye Youyou’s heart began to burn with excitement. She picked up her phone and booked the earliest flight back to the Capital.

In the small garden, grass was sprouting gently out of the ground as tender green shoots. The temperature was becoming warmer with each passing day.

Ye Tian pushed the wheelchair and took a seat in the garden. When she occasionally saw a bird, she’d laugh gently and point in that direction, saying, “Look, Queye. There’s another bird over there.”

Guan Queye’s face was a little pale. She sat in the wheelchair and gazed in that direction. She took a lot of effort to smile, but her lips wouldn’t move no matter what. Turning her head, she asked, “Wasn’t I told that someone was coming to visit me today?”
