Chapter 1310 - He Was Wrong For Me; It’s Time To End It
Ou Ming placed his hand on her thigh once more, only to have Yu Lili push it off yet again. He did it again, and she repeated her response. This exchange went on for a few cycles. The both of them clearly found it fun.
Jiao Ziqing found it senseless. With a cluck of her tongue and a shake of her head, she admonished, “The both of you are being silly!”
Yu Lili couldn’t resist laughing when she heard that. When she turned her head, she found Ou Ming’s face beaming with a smile.
How lovely.
This was exactly how she had envisioned happiness would be. How lovely.
…
One month had been enough for many things to change.
It was said that recovery of bones and sinews required a hundred days. On the 30th day of her hospitalization, Ye Youyou was finally able to get discharged.
In the 30 days, Shen Luo’an had never visited. It was Shen Zhilie that showed up regularly.
After Ye Youyou’s mother had gotten divorced, she had married a wealthy businessman in the Capital. All these years, Ye Youyou had grown up in the Capital. After she began earning her own keep, she had bought herself a property in the suburbs of the Capital.
“Heading home to recuperate” naturally meant that she was returning to the Capital.
Ye Qianqian had to report for work. She left Kingstown early in the morning. It was Shen Zhilie who had come to bring Ye Youyou home. When he caught sight of the Shen family’s chauffeur, he instinctively dragged her luggage in the direction of that car.
When Ye Youyou saw that, she immediately took her luggage from his hand.
Shen Zhilie turned to look at her with surprise and asked, “What’s wrong, Sister-in-law?”
Sister-in-law…
Now that she was back in the Capital, Ye Youyou found that form of address unbelievably ironic given the current situation.
“You should go back. I can make my way home on my own.” Ye Youyou’s smile was dull, and the look in her eyes was distant.
This was the way Ye Youyou had been throughout this period.
Shen Zhilie was more or less used to it. When he heard Ye Youyou’s words, his heart ached for her. He eyed the petite lady standing in front of him and tried to persuade her. “Sister-in-law, let’s go home together. Regardless of the circumstances, you’re still my sister-in-law. Your home is with the Shen family.”
Ye Youyou shook her head. “Thank you, Brother-in-law. These few days have been hard on you. But, I still need a little more time to prepare.”
“Prepare?” Shen Zhilie began to see where this was going. “Prepare for what?”
“I was the one who demanded this marriage,” Ye Youyou said. “I am very grateful to Shen Luo’an for fulfilling my lifelong dream.”
He also snuffed out all my hope and light.
“I will divorce him. I hope that we’ll still be able to be friends in the future.” Ye Youyou smiled. With her pale face, she looked like a delicate flower in the night, beautiful but ready to disappear.
Shen Zhilie felt his heart wrench on behalf her behalf. He looked at her and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Ye Youyou carried her luggage and headed toward the taxi stand.
Shen Zhilie watched her back as she left. He could not stop himself from going forward and stopping her in her tracks. He said, “I’ll take you back. It’s hard to get a taxi at this hour. Incidentally, I’m famished at the moment. Let’s grab something to eat together before I take you back.”
When Ye Youyou heard that, she observed the boyish sincerity on Shen Zhilie’s face and nodded her head. “Thank you.”
“Hey, what are you thanking me for?” Shen Zhilie asked. “Get in the car, Youyou!”
When Ye Youyou Shen Zhilie address her by her given name, she was momentarily stunned. Her face quickly broke out in a smile. However, the sorrow in her heart quietly began to spread.
