The 99th Divorce

“That should be it.” Yu Lili smiled. Holding Ou Ming’s hand, she said, “I’ll take Ou Ming to rest now.”

“Alright.” Zhen Li nodded his head and watched as the two of them left.

The moment he witnessed Yu Lili and Ou Ming leave, Zhen Li couldn’t sit still any longer. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Wen Fenglin and drove home as fast as he could.

Zhen Xianlang had just reached home and wanted to take a nap. He had left everything else for his son to handle He didn’t expect Zhen Li to be home as well.

When he found his son home, Zhen Xianlang became a little displeased and asked brusquely, “Why are you back? You just abandoned everyone at the Art Association?”

“I asked Uncle Wen to watch over them for short moment. Dad, can you show me the photograph that you showed me a long time ago?”

“What photograph?” his father asked.

“The photograph from many years back. The one of your wife before you married my mother,” Zhen Li said.

…

After Yu Lili led Ou Ming out, he quickly turned his hand over and held her hand in his instead.

His steps were quick, and he looked upset.

“Slow down! Why are you walking so quickly?” Yu Lili began to stumble a little and couldn’t keep up. “Uncle Wen is still in there! Have you even spoken to Uncle Wen yet?”

“No.” Ou Ming’s face remained expressionless. He turned his face toward Yu Lili and snapped, “That man was clearly trying to chat you up, and you still smiled at him?”

“That was an acquaintance of Uncle Wen. He wasn’t malicious. He was just making conversation with me,” Yu Lili said. “He didn’t seem like he had any improper intentions toward me. So many people from the Art Association were present, and so was my boyfriend, it was impossible for him to harbor such intentions!”

“Says whom?” Ou Ming’s face was cold. “From what I saw, he thought that since I was blind, he’d stand a chance with you!” As he spoke, Ou Ming pointed at Yu Lili’s head. Between clenched teeth, he ground out, “You need to use your brain a little more! What the h*ll! That man clearly harbored some intention toward you!”

“Oh my god! You’re thinking too much,” Yu Lili said. “I know the standard of my own looks! It’s impossible that every passing man will take a fancy to me!”

Ou Ming almost blurted out some expletives, but he held his tongue and said instead, “Regardless, if you see that man in future, stay far away from him. Don’t smile at him, and don’t get close to him! Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Yu Lili didn’t know what to do with him. “What shall we do now?”

“What time is it?” Ou Ming asked.

“Three o’clock,” she replied.

“Let’s go boat-rowing then.” Ou Ming pursed his lips after speaking.

“Boat-rowing?” Yu Lili looked at his hand. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah. You’ll row the boat. I’ll sit and watch,” he said.

“No!” Yu Lili couldn’t believe his suggestion.

“Let’s go,” Ou Ming said.

“No!” She exclaimed again.

“Come on, let’s go…”

Yu Lili purchased some snacks and bought the boat tickets. She helped Ou Ming onto the boat. With two hands on the oar, she began to row.

Ou Ming sat on the opposite side of the boat, facing her, and seemed unhappy. He waved her over and said, “Come here.”

“I can’t. If I sit over there, the boat will capsize,” she said.

“It won’t,” he assured her.

“Yes, it will,” Yu Lili said.

“If I say it won’t, it won’t,” Ou Ming confidently stated.

Yu Lili rolled her eyes at him. “If I move over, the boat will capsize, and we’ll die together.”

“Then ,shall I come over instead?” As he spoke, he stood up.

Yu Lili got a shock and yelled out, “Sit down! Stop moving!”

Ou Ming stopped mid-action and pouted his lips. He waved her over and said, “Lean over a little. You don’t have to move.”

“Why?” Yu Lili leaned forward. When she came close, Ou Ming held her by the back of her head and covered her lips with his.
