The 99th Divorce

Oh my god! That is awesome! That is so f*cking awesome!

Ye Qianqian suddenly felt like an old mother hen as she watched Yu Lili glowing and radiating with joy. Seeing Yu Lili look that happy and carefree made her heart indescribably relieved.

Finally!

Her dearest sisters had finally carved something for themselves. Yu Lili was married and pregnant, and Ye Youyou was living with Li Jinnan.

Now, all that was left in that house was the singleton that was her. Wait, that wasn’t right. Other than her, there was also one psychiatrist whom she had kindly adopted.

After her superior was done speaking on stage, it was Ou Ming’s turn. When he was done talking, he passed the microphone to Yu Lili.

Yu Lili looked at Ye Qianqian and asked with a huge grin, “I’m guessing that everyone here knows me, right?”

The colleagues who had worked with Yu Lili in the past suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and gratitude at her acknowledgment.

When they heard Yu Lili’s question, many of them chuckled. They replied in unison, “Yes, we do!”

“That’s great!” Yu Lili’s smile widened even further. She declared, “Bonuses for everyone at the end of the month!”

The audience erupted in cheers and exclaimed, “Way to go!”

Yu Lili had only spoken a total of two sentences, but she had managed to elicit the biggest reaction.

Ou Ming smiled and whispered into her ear, “How’d you do it? You’re awesome, my wife.”

“Well said. Well said, indeed.” Yu Lili smiled and said, “I’m going to look for Qianqian. Let go of me.”

“Let’s go together,” he said.

Ou Ming didn’t find anything inappropriate about it. With his hand resting on her waist, and his gaze fixated on her abdomen that was slowly growing, he found himself in an extremely good mood.

Ye Qianqian watched as the two lovebirds made their way toward her. She shook her head and asked, “May I ask if both of you are here to show off your love for each other to me?”

“Of course not,” Ou Ming replied good-naturedly. His eyes sparkled brightly with happiness and earnestness. “Are we such shallow people in your eyes? We’re clearly here to show our child off to you!”

Ye Qianqian was incredulous. “I’m so heartbroken,” she teasingly said.

A laugh escaped Yu Lili. She said, “Don’t listen to him. The child isn’t even all that big yet. What’s there to show off?”

“Alright, enough,” Ye Qianqian said. “Your mere existence is already a form of harm to me. Are you ganging up to bully this singleton?”

Ou Ming narrowed his eyes at her and asked, “Still no progress?”

“What bloody progress are you talking about? There’s none at all.” Ye Qianqian’s expression was full of grievance. “I’m already at this f*cking age. Why won’t heaven give me a man at all? Am I meant to live out the rest of my life in solitude?”

“You’ll step out of singlehood once the time is right. What are you nervous about?” Ou Ming drily commented. “It’s too noisy here. Shall we move to somewhere that is quieter?”

“Where are you intending to go? The lucky draw has only just begun! In so many years, I’ve never won a prize before. I have to at least try my luck this year!” Ye Qianqian reached out to pull Yu Lili along and said, “There are too many people here. Let’s move to somewhere less crowded and find a seat.”

With that, she pulled Yu Lili with her to a corner and stared up at the screen.

Everyone present was eligible for the lucky draw event. The number of employees in the company wasn’t exactly huge, but it wasn’t small either. Waiting for each and everyone’s turn required some time.

Ye Qianqian watched in envy as other people came down with huge prizes. She looked at Yu Lili and said, “Hey, the grand prize for each year’s lucky draw is always bigger than the last. Last year was a notebook computer. This year it is amazing! It’s a holiday package! Ah! A five-day, six-night holiday package to Venice! I want to go so much!”
