The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1463 You’re That Eager For It?

She could only hope. Yu Lili leaned on Ou Ming’s chest. Her heart was still feeling uneasy. The arrival of this pregnancy had been sudden. She was still unable to fully accept the reality of the situation.

–

It was another day of working overtime late into the night. One week had passed since Ou Ming and Yu Lili’s wedding. Throughout the whole week, Ye Youyou hadn’t seen Li Jinnan again.

She had heard that Li Jinnan had been away overseas on business during this period and was very busy. Many others hadn’t seen him either. No one knew for sure where he had gone.

Over the course of the past few days, Ye Youyou was feeling very conflicted. Perhaps it was a common human trait, but it seemed that the heart would instinctively look out for someone with whom the owner had had relations.

Even though she knew that it was impossible between them, not hearing from him at all for so many days filled her with concern. Doing her best to stop thinking about it, Ye Youyou headed outside. She had just gotten a taxi when she received a text message on her cell phone.

It was from a familiar number, Shen Luo’an.

[Are you free over the next few days? I have something to discuss with you.]

Ye Youyou looked at the string of numbers for a long time before closing the message.

The phone vibrated again immediately.

[It’s regarding the divorce.]

Ye Youyou was stunned. Shen Luo’an wants a divorce?

She stared at the words for a while. An unidentifiable emotion appeared in her heart. Am I finally going to be released?

In the deep recesses of her heart, she felt a painful ache. It came in waves and held on to a corner of her heart. It hurt unbearably.

Tears filled her eyes. Ye Youyou gave a humorless laugh. She looked at the words on the screen again and sighed deeply.

So be it! Divorce is for the best! A divorce would benefit everyone.

But, for whose sake was Shen Luo’an wanting a divorce now?

Shen Manting or Guan Queye?

An unpleasant feeling washed over Ye Youyou. She replied, [When?]

He replied, [As soon as possible.]

When Ye Youyou arrived home, she took a shower and stumbled right onto the bed. She slept all the way until morning.

The next day at the office, she applied for leave from the HR department. Once it was approved, she booked the earliest flight back to the Capital.

It was another hazy day. Everywhere she looked was gray and blurry.

This is the Capital! It is exactly like its locals—hard to see through.

She phoned Shen Luo’an. He seemed to be busy. It took him a long time to answer the call. “Hello? You’re here?”

“Yeah, I’m at the airport. Where can I find you?” Ye Youyou didn’t bother to beat around the bush.

Shen Luo’an went silent on the other side of the phone.

Ye Youyou wasn’t in a hurry. She gave it a few seconds before asking, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re that eager for it?” Shen Luo’an voice held a hint of bitterness and an emotion that Ye Youyou couldn’t put her finger on. It made her feel conflicted.

Her heart ached a little. A lump formed in her throat. She had to restrain her tears from falling. Years of emotions and feelings could never be erased just like that.

For so many years, her dream had been to marry her most beloved Shen Luo’an. But, the humiliation that she had suffered over the recent years couldn’t be wiped out just because of that statement of his either.

When he despised her because of Guan Queye… When he neglected her because of Shen Manting… She had hurt badly.

When a relationship no longer held any trust, there was no use in continuing with it anymore regardless of what that relationship was.

Ye Youyou pressed her hand against her mouth and steadied her emotions before replying, “Weren’t you the one who suggested the divorce? Why are you being all emotional now?”
