Chapter 1234 - Yu Lili’s Identity
When Shen Zhilie noticed that, the weight on his chest increased. He went up to Yu Lili, and stopped her in her tracks, saying, “Hold on.”
“Yeah?” she asked.
“If anything happens, remember to give me a call,” Shen Zhilie said.
“Alright.” Yu Lili smiled at him. With Ou Ming’s hand still in hers, she walked forward and patted Shen Zhilie on his shoulder. She reassured him, saying, “Nothing will happen. If there’s anything that I can’t resolve, I’ll call you immediately.”
“Alright, then. But if this guy here tries to bully you, don’t hold back. Just hit him,” Shen Zhilie said.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Yu Lili pulled Ou Ming along as she walked off, turning her head around after a few steps to wave goodbye to Shen Zhilie.
Once they were out of the hotel, Yu Lili stopped a taxi. She pushed Ou Ming in and climbed in after him.
Shen Zhilie watched on from behind. Yu Lili waved to him until he disappeared from view before putting her hand down.
Ou Ming suddenly pulled her over. She found him sprawled across her. He asked, “You’re still waving? Even a normal man will turn blind from watching that.”
Yu Lili pushed him away with a hint of feigned annoyance and complained, “You’re so d*mn heavy. Get lost.”
“Am I heavy?’ Ou Ming sat up immediately and tugged her over. “Then, you can lean on me instead.”
The hint of annoyance stayed with Yu Lili as she asked, “Are you returning to Kingstown after meeting with Uncle Wen?”
“Nope. Uncle Wen still has some event going on at the Art Association. He’s with a friend that he hasn’t met in over 20 years. They must have much to say to each other. We’ll just find a comfortable hotel nearby and stay there. Together.”
“That’s not appropriate,” Yu Lili said. “I told Shen Zhilie that I’ll be going back.”
“Tell him you’re not going back anymore,” Ou Ming said.
“I can’t,” she said Won’t they then find out that we’re back together again?”
“So what if we’re back together? It’s not like this is the first time that this has happened. What are you afraid of?” Ou Ming spoke openly as he wrapped is uninjured arm around her. “That rascal is still delusional. You’d better clear the air with him sooner rather than later. If he thinks that he still stands a chance, he’s going to linger around you. And, you’ll regret it then.”
“That won’t happen. Shen Zhilie isn’t stupid.” Yu Lili pinched his nose, “When do you intend to come clean? Everyone still thinks that you haven’t recovered. What if they find out?”
“Wait until we have settled the problem with my mother. I’ll naturally recover then.” Ou Ming hugged her and planted a kiss on her cheek. “I want you to be part of my family officially without any opposition from my mother.”
Yu Lili touched her face and saw the knowing look the taxi driver shot her through the rearview mirror. She blushed and pushed Ou Ming away. “There’s someone else here!”
Ou Ming remained impudent. He nibbled the bottom of her face and said, “The taxi uncle has been there and done that. He won’t find this weird.”
Yu Lili’s blush intensified as she pushed him away with both her hands and her feet.
Ou Ming’s laughter diminished. He stopped teasing her. After he released her, he asked, “Does Shen Zhilie’s grandmother like you very much?”
“It seems so. I don’t know why, but for some reason we ended up bonding together.” Yu Lili had mostly been a passive participant in this May-December friendship. “Why do you suddenly ask that?”
“I’m thinking, that since she likes you so much, perhaps we could have her help us with something,” Ou Ming said.
“What?” Yu Lili asked.
Ou Ming didn’t reply immediately. He turned to Yu Lili and said, “I sent someone to look into the details of your identity. After almost half a year, we’ve finally received a lead.”
Yu Lili was stunned. “What lead?”
“I found the person who abandoned you many years ago,” Ou Ming said.
