The 99th Divorce

Ou Ming’s smiled himself silly and rubbed his head as he commented, “I’m going to be a father! Our children have returned.”

When Yu Lili heard that, a grin broke out on her face. She reached out to stroke her belly. The feeling was magical.

She had thought that she could never be a mother in this lifetime. She had never expected it to happen too quickly. This child had arrived even sooner than she had ever imagined.

How wonderful. Heaven is still merciful. It hasn’t taken away my right to be a mother.

When Ou Ming witnessed her little action, he stopped in his steps and embraced her warmly. He whispered, “Don’t think too much. In the future, I’ll be a father, and you’ll be a mother. These five children will all be born safely.”

Yu Lili was tickled by Ou Ming’s words. She reached out and smacked him as she remarked, “What do you think I am? Five children?”

Ou Ming burst out in laughter. He hugged her tightly and kissed her on her face as he said, “Let’s go back, mother of my children.”

“Yes, let’s do that, father of my children,” she replied.

This exchange caused their faces to shine with smiles.

The moment Ou Ming got into the car, he gave Jiao Ziqing a call. It was afternoon, and she was busy with her fitness. When she answered his call, she was in the midst of catching her breath. “Hello? Hurry with whatever you need to say. I’m very busy.”

Ou Ming was laughing as he drove and spoke. “Mom, I have some very good news to share with you! Would you like to guess what it is?”

“What is it? Just tell me what it is! I don’t have time to play guessing games with you!” Jiao Ziqing was getting impatient, panting as she ran.

“Oh my god, why is your temper getting worse as time goes by? Are you reaching menopause?” he asked.

“Get lost! If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up!” His mother was in no mood for nonsense.

“Mom, you’re about to be a grandmother,” he said.

Ou Ming’s words were a little sudden. Jiao Ziqing was stunned. She quickly switched the treadmill off and asked in disbelief, “What did you just say?”

“You’re about to be a grandmother,” he said. “I’m going to be a father. Yu Lili’s going to become a mother! Our family is going to have a little baby soon!”

Jiao Ziqing burst out in laughter and said, “So soon? You rascals are awesome! I had thought it was going to be very hard for Yu Lili to conceive, and your father and I had even prepared ourselves. Now, here you are telling me this!”

Since Ou Ming was on the phone while he was driving, the call was on speakerphone. When the couple heard this, both of them got a shock.

“Mom, how did you know?” he asked.

Jiao Ziqing was in an extremely good mood. She harrumphed and replied, “Did you think that your mother knows nothing? I’ll tell you… I know everything! Did you think that you could hide everything from me? I had my ways of finding out!”

In other words, even though Jiao Ziqing had long known about this issue, she hadn’t used it to cause any trouble for Yu Lili.

Does this mean that Jiao Ziqing has completely accepted me as a daughter-in-law?

The realization of that fact made Yu Lili burst with joy. It was indescribable. The happiness was bubbling forth from the bottom of her heart.

Her eyes began to get misty. She called out, “Mom…”

When Jiao Ziqing suddenly heard Yu Lili’s voice, she grew quiet. Ou Ming was shocked. He quickly stopped the car by the side of the road and consoled, “Why are you crying out of the blue? Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Come on, you have to take good care of the child. Oh dear, my dear wife. Don’t cry!”

However, Yu Lili’s cries intensified. She reached out and hugged Ou Ming and said between hiccups, “I thought Mom would hold it against me if she knew…”
