The 99th Divorce

Shen Luo’an looked into her eyes with diabolical fury. His grip on her arm tightened as he asked, “Ye Youyou, didn’t you like me very much? Didn’t you love me? You’ve had a change of heart so quickly?”

When Ye Youyou heard that, she gazed into his eyes. The helplessness on her face slowly dissipated.

When Shen Luo’an witnessed the change in Ye Youyou’s expression, his heart gradually froze over. Those eyes used to shine whenever they saw him. Those eyes used to laugh whenever they caught sight of him. How had they changed so suddenly? Everything was no longer as it had been in the past.

Shen Luo’an’s grip on her tightened. An indescribable emotion built up within him.

“Mr. Shen, please watch yourself.” Ye Youyou’s tone was matter-of-fact and distant as she flung his hand off.

However, Shen Luo’an did not loosen his hold at all.

Ye Youyou looked at Shen Luo’an mockingly and asked, “What are you trying to do? Get your ex-wife back? If so, what’s going to happen to the one in the hospital? You know she’s unable to withstand any form of provocation.”

She had heard a little about Guan Queye’s illness. Even under such circumstances, Shen Luo’an was willing to divorce her in order to marry Guan Queye. For so many years, his emotions toward her had to be true love.

Ye Youyou smiled sardonically, causing Shen Luo’an’s heart to ache. Suddenly, there was a bitter taste in his mouth.

Shen Luo’an gazed at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were the same, but the distance between them had become increasingly further apart. Familiar childhood sweethearts had become strangers in the blink of an eye.

“Ye Youyou.” Shen Luo’an’s voice was a little hoarse. The cigarette between his fingers released a string of smoke that curled around his brows. “Do you still love me.”

Ye Youyou stared at him for a long while before replying gently, “I did.”

I did…

Shen Luo’an had his answer. It was what he wanted, except his heart grew emptier and emptier still.

He released Ye Youyou. With a bitter laugh, he flung his cigarette into the rubbish bin at the side. He got into his car and drove off in the direction of the hospital.

Ye Youyou stared at the image of his retreating back. Her heart couldn’t resist quivering.

Do I still love him?

Ye Youyou had asked herself that same question over the course of countless nights.

Do you still love Shen Luo’an? I still do.

But, she could no longer afford to.

Goodbye, Shen Luo’an.

Ye Youyou stood rooted to the spot for a long time before finally taking a step and walking forward. Just as she moved, a black Bentley by the road revved its engine.

Ye Youyou turned her head toward the source. With one glance she saw half a face that was revealed in the window at the backseat. That simple action was enough to make her heart skip a beat.

She walked over. Before she reached the car, the chauffeur got out to open the car door for her.

All the way until she was seated inside the car, not a word was exchanged. The inside of the Bentley smelled of aromatic incense.

Ye Youyou remained seated and looked out of the window instinctively. She knew the surrounding cars that were coming and going carried many already divorced or divorcing couples. She wondered how they felt.

Turning her head back, Ye Youyou looked at Li Jinnan and asked, “How did you know I was here?”

It couldn’t be a coincidence.
