The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1472 You Won’t Even Give Me A Chance to Redeem Myself

Ye Youyou was stunned. She stared at Li Jinnan. It seemed that she understood his meaning.

When Li Jinnan caught her gaze, he immediately clarified his words. “Living alone is way too uninteresting. Humans are social creatures. Being alone will bore you to death. You can get a friend to join you.”

“I’ll get a dog and have it watch the sunrise and sunset with me…” As Ye Youyou uttered these words, she couldn’t control her expression. Her hand on the table trembled slightly.

When that time comes, we’ll get a dog together and watch the sunrise and the sunset…

It was almost as if that promise was uttered right by her ear. That same statement now had the “we” replaced by “I.”

Li Jinnan sensed that her mood was off, so he didn’t continue with the conversation. He began to question his actions inwardly. Am I being too impatient?

Ye Youyou’s emotions hadn’t settled yet. Divorcing Shen Luo’an was a huge deal to her.

Shen Luo’an…

Li Jinnan’s eyes were sparkling like the stars in the sky. They slowly darkened as he said, “A dog is not as much fun as a human. A human makes a good pet too.”

An Asian waiter had just arrived to serve them their orders. When he heard that statement, he burst out laughing.

Ye Youyou’s face reddened immediately. She glared at him. Her emotions switched from sorrow to fury as she asked, “Why are you so bad?”

“Was I being bad?” Li Jinnan acted as if he didn’t know what was going on. “What were you thinking?”

Ye Youyou picked up her toast and took a bite in her resolve not to speak to him anymore.

Li Jinnan refused to let her off the hook and remarked, “Why are your thoughts so dirty? And, to think you’re a woman…”

Ye Youyou was so mad that her muscles tensed. She growled, “Wasn’t that what you meant?”

“It was,” Li Jinnan openly admitted.

Ye Youyou choked on her mouthful of bread. She stared daggers into him.

Li Jinnan immediately passed her a glass of water. “Slow down.”

Ye Youyou took two forceful gulps. She was so annoyed that her chest hurt.

“You’re angry?” Li Jinnan chuckle. “That won’t do. We still have to spend the day ahead together. If you’re angry, it’ll be awkward for me.”

Ye Youyou was originally angry. When she heard the humor in Li Jinnan’s tone, she couldn’t bring herself to stay angry. She glared at him and asked sarcastically, “Who’s going to spend the day ahead with you?”

“What? You won’t even give me a chance to redeem myself now?” Li Jinnan gave her a puppy-dog expression of helplessness as he picked up a sandwich and asked, “Would you like a sandwich?”

“No!”

“I want some bread.”

“Order it on your own,” Ye Youyou couldn’t be bothered to be courteous with him. She held on tightly to the bread in her hands.

Li Jinnan stared ahead, but his eyes were not on the bread. They were on Ye Youyou.

The aggressive look in his eyes made he feel a little uneasy. She said, “Stop looking at me.”

Li Jinnan laughed. “You’re nice to look at.”

That compliment was enough to lift Ye Youyou’s spirits. Immediately after that, before she had a chance to react, Li Jinnan leaned over toward her and took a bite of her bread.

His warm and wet lips even slid past her palm. Ye Youyou stiffened and froze in place for that moment.

Li Jinnan chewed his food. As if he hadn’t noticed Ye Youyou’s reaction, he remarked, “It’s not too bad.”

However, nobody knew if he was referring to the hand or bread.
