The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili burst out laughing. Ye Qianqian and Ye Youyou couldn’t hold back their smiles either.

Su Qianci put her palm to her forehead. In an exasperated voice, she yelled out, “Li Ersu!”

Li Jianyue heard her mother yell and shrunk her neck into her shoulders. Hugging her father tightly by the neck, she mumbled in a voice filled with grievance, “I didn’t say a word to Daddy. I told it to Older Brother…”

Su Qianci stormed up unhappily. Li Jianyue grew frightened. Still hugging on to her father’s neck, she almost burst out in tears as her body stiffened. She cried out, “Daddy, save me! Sob! Sob!”

Li Sicheng’s brows creased together as he looked at Su Qianci and asked, “What happened?”

“Nothing…” Su Qianci replied.

“It’s possible that Qianci hasn’t been resting well, or perhaps it was because of low blood sugar, but she almost fainted in the hot spring just now. It was a good thing that Youyou was there to support her. Otherwise, she would have gotten seriously injured.” Yu Lili wasn’t one bit frightened. When she saw Su Qianci glare at her, she stuck her tongue out in reply.

Li Sicheng handed his daughter over Luo Zhan and walked over to Su Qianci’s side.

Su Qianci gave Yu Lili a look of resentment and took a step back. She looked at Li Sicheng and said, “They’re just exaggerating. It’s not as bad as that. I’m fine.”

Li Sicheng ignored her words. He reached out to touch her forehead and asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m not feeling unwell at all. I…” Su Qianci felt a little embarrassed with so many eyes looking over. She blushed as she continued, “I am fine. Everyone came out here to enjoy themselves. Don’t let me rain on the parade.”

“Tell me where you’re feeling unwell.” Li Sicheng took her hand and forced her palm open. He took a look at it and then looked at her face again. “You look pale. Come, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up.”

Embarrassment caused beads of perspiration to appear on Su Qianci’s forehead. She snatched her hand back and replied, “Without makeup, of course I’ll look pale. Stop making a mountain out of a molehill.”

“Let’s go.” It was as if Li Sicheng had no idea what that phrase meant. “Third Brother, Luo Zhan, help me keep an eye on the kids.”

“Why don’t I drive you and Sister-in-law there, Second Brother?” Li Jinnan walked over. His back was straight, and his brows were knitted together. It was obvious that he was worried.

Ye Youyou saw it all clearly. She suddenly felt sympathetic toward Li Jinnan.

Why did it have to be her, of all people?

But, it had to be said that Su Qianci was indeed a very good woman.

“Oh my god! Brother-in-law, why are you contributing to this?” Su Qianci’s face reddened even further. Held firmly in Li Sicheng’s arms, her face was buried in his chest. Her heartbeat quickened as she mumbled coquettishly, “You’re really good at making much ado about nothing. I know what the reason is. I just wasn’t too sure.”

Her voice was very soft. Only Li Sicheng and Su Qianci herself could hear what she said.

When Li Sicheng saw how red her face had become, his heart began to settle. Her reaction meant that what happened wasn’t all too serious.

With that in mind, Li Sicheng felt a sense of relief. He stroked her face and commented, “It’s all family here. What’s there to feel embarrassed about?”

Su Qianci didn’t want to react that way either. With so many people watching, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. Furthermore, she didn’t dare speak of her speculation without confirmation, and she had been debating whether or not to say anything.

“It’s great if everything’s fine. Second Brother, you’re really good at making a huge fuss over nothing. Sister-in-law is very healthy. Come, let’s have something to eat!” Luo Zhan spoke up loudly. “Come on, Misses Yes and my dear sister-in-law Ou!”

The group of people that had been called by Luo Zhan walked over. The three children were led off by Li Jinnan.

The Li couple stayed behind. When he watched the rest walk off into the distance, Li Sicheng bent his head and asked, “So, just what was the reason? Could it be that…”
