The 99th Divorce

Although Li Jinnan was near her, Ye Youyou felt that his voice was coming from far away and unreal. It made her absentminded. Perhaps it was because of his voice or totally strange hug, but she completely forgot to react.

Li Jinnan noticed that her body was stiff. He held the steering wheel with one hand looked ahead. He soon turned to look at her and had a wonderful feeling.

He gently pushed her away and said, “Seat belt.”

Having escaped, Ye Youyou found out that she had stopped crying. Her face was getting hot. She didn’t need to look at herself in the mirror to know that her face had to be red.

She quickly lowered her head and pulled the seat belt. After fastening it, she sat in the car quietly.

Li Jinnan looked at the rear-view mirror and made sure that Shen Luo’an was unable to catch up. Once he was certain, he slowed down. He glanced at Ye Youyou and handed a few paper towels to her. “Did you have an argument?”

Ye Youyou took the paper towels with her head down. She shook her head and said, “No, I can’t argue with him.”

“So, does this mean that you are running away from home?” he asked.

Yu Youyou didn’t know whether it was an illusion or not, but Li Jinnan sounded like he was a little bit happy.

“If I remember correctly, that person is your husband, isn’t he?” he asked.

“Yes,” Ye Youyou said.

“Why did you quarrel?” Li Jinnan asked.

Ye Youyou did not answer. She looked at him through the rear-view mirror. There was doubt in her expression. Li Jinnan seemed to be calm, as if he had just asked a common question.

She did not want to answer him. She lowered her head and said nothing.

For a time, the atmosphere in the car was indescribably quiet and strange.

“Where do you want to go? I can take you there,” Li Jinnan said.

“You can drop me off here. Thank you.” Ye Youyou turned to gaze out the window. “I still have a lot of things to do, and I have to work. I won’t bother you.”

Her polite words made him feel like she was estranged from him. He looked at his watch and said, “It’s time for dinner. You haven’t had dinner yet, so shall we eat together?”

“I still have work to do and am a little busy, so, I can’t accompany you to dinner today. Can I take a raincheck?” Ye Youyou was upset and a bit embarrassed to be with him.

Neither of them had mentioned what happened that night long ago. She had lost her virginity that day, which was like a thorn in her side and made her uncomfortable.

He carelessly asked, “What work are you going to do?”

“A variety show in Kingstown Television is about to begin,” Ye Youyou said. “I finally have a chance to be on a show with good ratings, so I cannot be late.”

“Oh, I see.” Li Jinnan raised his eyebrow slightly. “A show shoots at this time…” While saying that, he veered the car and drove in the opposite direction.

Ye Youyou was in a daze. She realized that he was trying to figure out where she worked.

I fell into his hidden trap…
