The 99th Divorce

Shen Zhilie’s voice sounded very low and deep, with a strong tinge of sleepiness.

Ye Qianqian looked sideways at him. His eyes were half-closed, and he was breathing steadily.

Slightly turning to the side, Ye Qianqian hugged his head and whispered, “Actually, you know, it’s not that important whether we get married or not. It’s just a certificate and a ritual. It’s not a big deal.”

Shen Zhilie didn’t open his eyes. He silently nudged toward Ye Qianqian and hugged her more tightly.

Ye Qianqian continued, “We’re not married now. What’s the difference between the two of us and a couple who’s married?”

“There’s a difference.”

“No, there’s not much of a difference. We can still be together and eat and sleep together. We can do what other married people do.”

Shen Zhilie looked up at her and said frankly, “Marriage isn’t just about having legitimate sex.”

Ye Qianqian blushed.

“I would also have a legitimate reason to have children with you. And you’ll get to call my parents mom and dad, while I’ll get to be your father’s son. It would make your family my family, and my family yours. By then, you and I will have officially recognized each other as husband and wife. The law will tie us together, and we will never be separated from each other.”

Shen Zhilie’s lengthy and detailed speech made Ye Qianqian chuckle. Reaching for his face with her fingers, Ye Qianqian said, “Are you afraid that I’ll run away with some other man?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t worry.” She kissed him gently on his lips. “Nothing can separate us but death.” She raised her left hand as she spoke. There was a glistening diamond ring on it. “We’re married, just missing a form.”

Shen Zhilie pressed her hand down and clutched it as he whispered, “I want the form.”

Ye Qianqian was speechless. Actually… she wanted it too.

“I’m so sleepy right now. Let me get some sleep,” Ye Qianqian said.

“Okay.” Shen Zhilie toned himself down and held her, closing his eyes.

When Ye Qianqian woke up at noon, Shen Zhilie was in the bathroom, taking a bath.

Ye Qianqian yawned and picked up her clothes. It was already past two o’clock in the afternoon when she finished taking a bath and blow-drying her hair.

When she left the room, she felt a little guilty at the thought of going back. “How about we don’t go back home so soon?” she asked.

They could just pretend that they hadn’t woken up and had spent the whole night out.

Shen Zhilie could see through her thoughts with a glance. He chuckled, “Let’s go eat first.”

“Okay,” Ye Qianqian answered. As she walked, she felt like she was floating in midair.

Leaning against Shen Zhilie, Ye Qianqian felt a little annoyed as she recalled what happened last night. She said, “There won’t be a next time.”

Having endured last night’s abnormal torture, she would really fall apart if there was going to be a next time!

Shen Zhilie pretended he didn’t hear this. He held her and returned to the place where the car was parked yesterday, then drove the car outside.

They found a place to eat, then Shen Zhilie took Ye Qianqian out on a trip again.

Due to the intensity of their little activity last night, Ye Qianqian’s legs and feet weren’t working too well. He took her to play some games that didn’t require much energy or walking.

Mrs. Shen called him several times during this time, but Shen Zhilie kept giving her vague responses.

When they reached home, it was already past 8 p.m. Mrs. Shen and Shen Longyue were sitting on the sofa, watching television. When they saw them come inside, they looked at each other and didn’t say a word. They pretended that they didn’t even see them.

“Hi, Uncle and Auntie,” Ye Qianqian said, feeling embarrassed.

“You’ve come back. Do you want to eat something?” Nanny He came up to her and asked. “I left some food for you. Shall I heat it up for you now?”
