The 99th Divorce

Reassured, he relaxed and leaned his body weight back on Ye Youyou’s shoulder. His eyes drifted close lazily.

Ye Youyou didn’t notice the change in Li Jinnan’s expression. After she retrieved his leather wallet, she took out his ID and looked through the compartments.

There were many, many cards. The whole wallet was chock full of cards. There were also a few copies of a very luxurious looking name cards. As for cash, Ye Youyou dug through the wallet and only found a few notes.

“Miss, I will be needing your ID as well.” The front desk receptionist smiled politely.

“I’m only taking him up. I’ll be leaving in a moment. Do you still need it?” Ye Youyou wasn’t keen on providing her ID. It was weird enough checking in to a hotel room with a man. Leaving her personal details behind would make this experience a lot more unsettling.

The receptionist was extremely polite, but she firmly nodded her head and replied, “I do. All guests and their visitors need to provide their ID. May I please have yours?”

Ye Youyou was in a bit of a dilemma, but she still provided her ID.

After registering, Ye Youyou swiped her own credit card and helped Li Jinnan up to look for the room. It was fortunate that the room was easily found. It wasn’t much of a distance away upon exiting the lift.

Ye Youyou unlocked the door. Li Jinnan opened his eyes. Groggily, he reached out and closed the door behind them.

He allowed himself to be led to the bed as he dragged his feet along. At the bedside, when he felt his knees come in contact with the edge of the bed, he tumbled himself forward.

As Li Jinnan fell forward, Ye Youyou was caught by surprise and lost her balance. As a result, she ended up on the mattress with him.

With a beautiful woman in his embrace, Li Jinnan grunted. Whether the grunt was made in pain or in bliss, Ye Youyou wasn’t so sure. Immediately after, he wrapped an arm around her and drowsily opened his eyes.

Ye Youyou was dazed. She instinctively put up a struggle to no avail.

Li Jinnan’s eyes were glazed and bloodshot. His irises were black and blurry. A moment of shock pass thought Ye Youyou, but she regained her senses soon enough and struggled anew. She protested, “GM Li, I’m leaving now.”

He did not move his hand. He continued gazing at her without any further response.

This was the only man apart from Shen Luo’an that Ye Youyou had ever come this close to. She could clearly feel the burning heat that was emanating from his body. His heart was beating strongly through his clothing. Every sensation could be keenly felt by her.

Li Jinnan’s body smelled of alcohol and cigarettes. It was a smell that had never been present on Shen Luo’an’s body.

Ye Youyou realized that his eyelids were slowly closing. She gave up struggling and decided to wait until his eyes were fully closed before sneaking off.

Many minutes passed. Ye Youyou couldn’t take it any longer. She slowly tried to pry his arm off, but the attempt made her realize that she couldn’t even move.

It was as if Li Jinnan’s hand had grown stuck to her body. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t move it off.

Ye Youyou had drank alcohol. Although it hadn’t been much, it was enough to make her head pound.

In exasperation, she couldn’t restrain herself any longer. She harnessed all her energy and called out, “GM Li, I’m going home. Release me!”

The moment she said that, it was as if Li Jinnan had been startled out of his sleep. His eyes abruptly opened. Immediately following that, he snaked his arm around Ye Youyou’s waist and flipped himself so that their positions were switched.

Without warning, Ye Youyou was now pinned beneath him. Her breathing grew labored as she stared at him in disbelief.
