The 99th Divorce

“Hey, you’d better stop showing off! The way you’re puffing out your chest, you might very well break your back!” Yu Lili reached out to touch her waist and commented, “You’ve gotten fat!”

Ye Qianqian immediately hugged her tummy and replied, “D*mn you! You’re the fat one! What I am is curvy!”

“You’ve gotten fat!” Yu Lili adamantly refused to change her stance.

Ye Qianqian laughed and rolled her eyes. “I’m not going to hold it against a pregnant woman! What are we having for supper?”

“Come on. You’ll know when we get there.” Yu Lili pulled her by her hand and quickly made her way out of the hotel.

Ou Ming was seated in front while Yu Lili and Ye Qianqian were seated at the back. The chauffeur drove very steadily. They were soon at the eatery.

It was a restaurant that was luxuriously decorated. With one look, Ye Qianqian knew the meal was going to be really expensive. Since she was there with Ou Ming and Yu Lili, she didn’t bother to stand on ceremony. She entered and ordered a few dishes at random before passing the menu to Yu Lili.

The three of them were quick eaters. It had been some time since Yu Lili and Ye Qianqian had last seen each other. With everything under the sun to talk about, their conversation was lengthy.

Ye Qianqian liked to have an odd drink or two, especially when she was happy. Yu Lili was pregnant, so she couldn’t drink alcohol. As a result, Ye Qianqian only had Ou Ming to drink with.

She ordered a beverage with a low alcoholic content. Even then, her face grew flushed after only a few glasses. It gave her a rosy glow.

Toward the end, when it was getting late, Yu Lili began to feel fatigued. Ye Qianqian suggested they all head home.

The married couple took Ye Qianqian back to the lobby of her apartment building and left soon after.

Ye Qianqian had dressed more elegantly that evening. When the security personnel saw her, appreciation flashed across his eyes. “Miss Ye, you look really good today,” he said.

Ye Qianqian was flattered when she heard him. As she fished around for her house keys, she remarked, “When do I not look good?”

The security guard laughed, but he didn’t dare laugh too ostentatiously either. He replied with a very fake demeanor, “You’re right. You look pretty good every day.”

Ye Qianqian glared at him and asked, “What’s the meaning of this? Why do you have to sound so fake saying it? You’re not going to be left with any friends if you continue behaving this way!”

The security guard laughed heartily and rushed forward to help her press the lift. He said, “Go on up. Your boyfriend was home long ago. He’s probably anxiously waiting for you to go home.”

“No way!” Ye Qianqian grimaced and retorted, “He’s not my boyfriend!”

The security guard clearly didn’t believe her and asked, “Did you two quarrel?”

“Quarrel, my ass!” Ye Qianqian entered the lift. “I’m done with this conversation. Goodbye!”

As the lift doors slowly closed, Ye Qianqian began to feel agitated.

Boyfriend? Since when did Shen Zhilie become her boyfriend? No way!

On second thought, it was only normal that others would think that. After all, it wasn’t common for a man and woman to live together unless something was going on between them. Even relatives weren’t usually that close.

Oh f*ck… So, that’s the reason I’ve been single for so many years! With a man living right in my house, no bees will ever approach my honey! If that is the case, how will I ever leave singlehood? No, this won’t do!

This couldn’t continue. She had to chase him off as soon as possible.

As Ye Qianqian was thinking to herself, the lift reached her floor. She headed to her unit. Just as she inserted the key into the lock, the door opened from inside.

Shen Zhilie’s hair was still damp. When he saw her flushed face, he frowned and sniffed before asking, “Were you drinking?”

For some strange reason, Ye Qianqian began to harbor a guilty conscience and immediately replied, “I…”

At that moment, she regained her logic. She could do anything she wanted to. Who was he to care?

She stood fiercely with her hands akimbo and replied, “Yeah! So what?”

Shen Zhilie didn’t look too happy as he reached out to take her bag from her. “With whom?”
