Chapter 1466 - I Can’t Hold You Back
Li Jinnan looked indifferent. He glanced at her from the side of his eye and replied, “I just happened to pass by.”
Ye Youyou clearly didn’t believe him. She turned to face him. Her complexion was pale. In the palm of her hand was a dark red booklet. The words “Divorce Certificate” on it improved Li Jinnan’s mood considerably.
“Let’s go for lunch. What would you like to eat?” He edged closer to her and held her tightly clenched hand.
Ye Youyou’s hand jerked back in shock, and she instinctively pulled away. However, Li Jinnan tightened his hold. Without waiting for her permission, he plucked the dark red booklet out of her hand and flipped through it.
When he saw the picture of Ye Youyou alone inside the booklet, his heart was reassured.
Ye Youyou watched him as she let him peruse her divorce certificate.
Li Jinnan didn’t look like he was in a good state physically. He had dark shadows around his eyes. The edges in his face were a little more pronounced that they had been a week before. He had lost weight.
In comparison to Shen Luo’an, Li Jinnan was in a much better state.
“I don’t feel like eating.” Ye Youyou turned her head to look out of the car window. She was feeling down and suddenly said, “Oh, GM Li. I would like to resign.”
Li Jinnan paused in the middle of looking through her divorce certificate. He narrowed his eyes and observed her thin figure and delicate demeanor. He closed the red booklet and asked, “Why?”
“I don’t want to do it anymore,” she replied.
“Is it because you feel that you haven’t been treated well?” he asked.
“Not at all. I would just like a change of environment,” Ye Youyou said. “I don’t want to remain in Kingstown anymore. I would like to take some time off for myself and take a trip.”
She gazed out of the window the entire time that she was talking. The scenery outside flew past her. She began to feel a little dizzy.
“Where are you going?” Li Jinnan asked.
“I don’t know,” Ye Youyou turned to face him with a slight smile.
She was probably going to go somewhere a little farther, where no one knew her, to start afresh. In any case, regardless of whether it was Kingstown or the Capital, there was no one who needed her any longer.
Her mother, whom she had initially thought was her most important person, had become somebody else’s mother. Her most beloved man hated her to his bones and was about to marry Guan Queye. She had no emotional connection with the Shen family and none with the Guan family either.
As for Kingstown, it was time for Ye Qianqian to find her own happiness. Besides, Ye Youyou was just taking care of odds and ends in the company and was replaceable anytime. No one needed her any longer.
At that thought, Ye Youyou’s heart began to ache. Her eyes began to sting. Using all her resolve to hold her tears back, she quickly turned to look out of the window.
Li Jinnan could tell that she was feeling very down and out. He shoved the divorce certificate back into her hands. He nodded his head as he said, “That’ll be good too. I’ll go with you.”
Ye Youyou’s heart clenched. She shook her head. “That’s not necessary. Your company needs you very much. I can’t hold you back.”
“It’s fine. I have a brother,” Li Jinnan said. He had absolute faith in Li Sicheng’s ability.
Ye Youyou had no argument. Only after a long moment did she say, “I want to go alone.”
“You can just treat it as if I’m not there,” he said. “If you feel like it, you can acknowledge me every now and then. Otherwise, you can just treat me as if I’m invisible.”
Ye Youyou was speechless. How could such a big guy ever be invisible?
Li Jinnan acted as if he hadn’t sensed her resistance and said, “Do you want to travel within the country or out of it? There’s a starlight reserve in New Zealand. I heard it’s beautiful. In the day, the place is filled with birds and flowers. At night, the whole sky is covered in stars and fireflies fill the air. That place is like a wonderland.”
Ye Youyou momentarily panicked. When she turned her head, she saw the serious expression in Li Jinnan’s eyes.
