The 99th Divorce

The marriage they had was a marriage for show, wasn’t it? Other than their marriage certificate, there was nothing else in the marriage that bound Shen Luo’an and her to each other. Nothing at all.

The adoring love she had once harbored for him had slowly dissipated over the years due to his cold treatment toward her.

There was pain in Ye Youyou’s eyes. The smile on her face look indescribably anguished.

Li Jinnan took in her expression carefully. He quickly turned his face back. He warmly said, “Divorce him, and marry me.”

If Ye Youyou had been merely stunned before, she was now horrified. Disbelief was written all over her face as she stared at Li Jinnan. She looked at him as if she were looking at a lunatic.

Li Jinnan was driving. His actions were steady, and his voice was melodious and magnetic, but his manner of speaking was cold. When he spoke, his features did move much, and his face was void of expression.

This… has to be a joke.

Ye Youyou was dazed. She laughed dryly and said, “GM Li, please don’t joke about this with me.”

Li Jinnan turned the steering wheel. The car turned onto a small road. Gradually, the car slowed to a stop. When the car halted, Li Jinnan turned to face her and asked, “Do I look like I’m joking at all?”

Indeed, he doesn’t. Furthermore, since when did Li Jinnan ever joke around? He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who knows how to joke at all. He is a man from the military. He is likely a person who means every word he says. But… Why would Li Jinnan think of such an idea?

Ye Youyou was dumbfounded. She looked at Li Jinnan for a long time without saying a word.

Li Jinnan gazed at her. He took out a cigarette and took his time to light it up.

Ye Youyou looked at the glowing amber on the cigarette in stupefaction as it slowly turned the tip to ash. That was exactly how she was feeling at that moment.

“I’ve never had a girlfriend, and I’ve never touched another woman. That night was your first night, and it was also mine. No matter how I see it, you don’t seem to lose anything.” Li Jinnan took a puff of his cigarette. “Since your relationship with your husband isn’t exactly harmonious, it would be a good idea to divorce him as soon as you can too.”

The only factor in a marriage of convenience was the mutual benefit it brought to both parties. Li Jinnan knew that his qualifications weren’t bad. At least, compared with Shen Luo’an, he was way better.

Compared to that “husband of convenience” who engaged in domestic violence, a fine male specimen like Li Jinnan was naturally a lot more attractive. Any normal woman, regardless of how stupid she might be, would know what the better choice was.

Li Jinnan was very confident of himself in that regard. He didn’t think for one moment that Ye Youyou would reject him.

But, when Ye Youyou heard his words, she felt very uneasy.

Just because it was my first time… Just because I never engaged in relations with Shen Luo’an before, he thinks I am an acceptable candidate for marriage? Is that it? Moreover, it was Li Jinnan’s first time?

Li Jinnan was younger than Shen Luo’an by only one year. He was already 29 years old. How could such a man still be in possession of his virginity be able to lose it to her? Ye Youyou couldn’t bring herself to believe it.

“GM Li, I’ve been married before. With your status and background, you could easily find a young and pretty girl who has never been married.” Ye Youyou couldn’t make out Li Jinnan’s line of thought. “GM Li, if you feel responsible in some way toward me because you took my virginity, I can assure you very confidently that is not necessary.”

When Li Jinnan heard that, his eyes turned bright and alert. With a gentle laugh, he rested his hand that was holding the cigarette on the open window and warmly said, “The wife I want is a real and proper wife, not one for show. And, the only thing I require in my marriage is equality.”
