The 99th Divorce

Ye Youyou’s heart almost stopped. She quickly turned her head to look. Only when she saw that it was Li Jinnan did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Jinnan seemed to hear the silent commotion. His brows knitted together as he opened his eyes to look over.

When he saw Ye Youyou’s shocked expression, he immediately woke up. He sat up and looked at her as he asked, “You’re up?”

“You…”

“I couldn’t find your bag,” he said. “The hotel would only allow one room per passport, so…”

Ye Youyou felt a little embarrassed. She stood up and said, “GM Li, thank you.”

“Not at all,” Li Jinnan looked at the time. “Let’s go for breakfast.”

Ye Youyou had slept really well. On the other hand, the shadows under Li Jinnan’s eyes had gotten darker.

Well, considering that he had spent the night on the couch…

Ye Youyou began to feel the pricking of her conscience, but she didn’t say a word. She headed into the bathroom to wash up.

Li Jinnan was on the phone when she came out of the bathroom. When he saw her, he didn’t really react. Instead, he said to the person on line, “Got it. That’s all for now. Bye.”

Ye Youyou was a little surprised. Being in the same bedroom as Li Jinnan gave her a very strange feeling. It felt as if she were having a torrid affair.

Even though she was already divorced from Shen Luo’an, perhaps it was because this feeling had already taken root long ago, she found herself unable to shake it off.

No! No! No! What torrid affair?

Although she and Li Jinnan had shared a room, nothing had transpired. Ye Youyou gave herself some encouragement.

Li Jinnan was already ready. “What would you like to eat?”

“I’m fine with anything.” Ye Youyou was extremely agreeable as she headed down to the dining room with Li Jinnan.

There were many Caucasians in the dining room. Ye Youyou’s feelings of familiarity toward Li Jinnan subconsciously intensified.

“Are you used to this?” Li Jinnan casually asked as he opened the menu.

“I’m fine. It feels quite comfortable here,” Ye Youyou looked around at her surroundings. She felt cheery.

Li Jinnan looked up and glanced at her. The corners of his mouth lifted. It was clear that he was in a good mood. After placing his order, he returned the menus to the waitress.

Interlocking the fingers on both his hands with each other and placing them on the table, Li Jinnan looked at Ye Youyou as he asked, “Do you have any plans for the future?”

Ye Youyou thought about it for a moment and shook her head. She replied, “Not at the moment. I would like to enjoy myself for a little longer before thinking about it. This world is big, and I’d like to explore it a little.”

“Hmm…” Li Jinnan lowered his hands. He nodded his head as he replied, “Such a life is naturally good. But, I still think that young people should challenge themselves more. Given your age and condition, this is the best time to fight for your dreams.”

Ye Youyou knew what Li Jinnan was trying to get at. She asked, “Are you trying to get me to act?”

“Recently, there have been a few good roles…”

“GM Li.” Ye Youyou interrupted him and said, “I don’t want to continue in this industry any longer.”

This statement took Li Jinnan by surprise. “Why?”

“It’s too dark, too tiring, and too complicated.” Ye Youyou smiled slightly. “I think a simpler life would suit me better. After I finish my vacation, I would like to go back to study and improve myself. When that’s over, I’ll find a nice place to settle down and live a normal life.”

Such a life was poetic and perfect.

“Would you mind an extra person?”
