The 99th Divorce

Ou Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Uncle Wen is stout, not fat. That’s just the way middle-aged men are. Uncle Wen has, in fact, maintained himself very well.”

Yu Lili shook her head. “In any case, we just don’t look alike! Furthermore, I don’t look anything like Chi Xian. Everyone said that it was only after interacting with me for a while that they sensed the similarities. They keep referring to my temperament. But, a temperament is nurtured. I’m guessing that Chi Xian and I may have grown up in a similar environment, and that’s what accounts for our similarities!”

The more Yu Lili thought about it, the more likely it seemed. “That’s what probably happened. Otherwise, it’s impossible that such a coincidence exists. There are so many orphans in the world, and even more who are looking for their biological parents. I’ve been down on my luck since I was a kid. How could I suddenly just get lucky and find my parents so easily?”

Ou Ming stopped laughing. He stroked her hair gently and objected, “It wasn’t easy at all! I took a really long time!”

“Really?” Yu Lili still felt it too good to be true. “How can you be sure that what that person was true? Chi Xian has been dead for so many years. Just based off the photograph that you showed her, she couldn’t be certain that the lady who hired her for surrogacy back then was Chi Xian. I don’t think she’s reliable at all.”

Ou Ming felt helpless. He pulled her over and pushed her down onto the chair. “You don’t need to find her reliable. Regardless, the blood test results will come out tomorrow. When the time comes, if you’re neither Zhen Xianlang’s nor Uncle Wen’s daughter, you can be certain that you aren’t Chi Xian’s daughter either.”

“Aye. What if they both come back positive?” Yu Lili looked up at him. She burst out laughing as she said, “If both are positive, what happens then?”

Ou Ming remained straight-faced. “You’ll probably get dissected by someone at the Science Academy.”

Yu Lili retorted, “I’ll have you dissected instead!”

“OK…” Ou Ming’s eyes twinkled with laughter. He spread his arms wide and said, “You may dissect me. I won’t resist.”

“F*ck off!” Yu Lili replied.

“A daytime f*ck?” Ou Ming teased. “I don’t mind at all…”

Yu Lili replied, “F*ck off back to your office! Have you finished all your work that you have so much time on your hands to be horny?”

Ou Ming turned around and hugged her. His lips widened in a smile as he chuckled ominously. His eyes were playful as he said, “What’s wrong with being horny? This is the pinnacle of bliss in life, to be doing something happy with your beloved.”

Yu Lili was being led in circles by his twisted logic. She turned away and refused to acknowledge him.

Ou Ming lowered his head to kiss her check, but she ducked away.

He kissed her neck, only to have Yu Lili shrink back. His laughter deepened. He stuck his tongue out and licked her gently on her skin.

Yu Lili’s body shuddered instinctively. She pushed him away. In a whiny voice, she said, “No, I’m so tired. Come back again tonight.”

Ou Ming had just been out to tease her anyway. His eyes turned down in a smile. “Kiss me.”

Yu Lili turned her head and gave him a quick peck on his lips. Before she could leave, her head was held immobile by his hand. He deepened the kiss with his tongue.

Ou Ming’s actions were gentle and wild at the same time. He felt Yu Lili being stirred up by his actions, which made him feel as if he were flying. His heart felt at ease, and his spirits were rising.

When the kiss ended, Yu Lili was panting. She wrapped her arms around him.

Ou Ming wanted to tease her further, but he suddenly noticed that her eyes were red. Alarmed, he sat up with her in his arms. “What’s wrong?”

“Ou Ming, what are we to do if I can’t conceive…”
