The 99th Divorce

While Shen Zhilie pitied Yu Lili, at the same time, a weird thought popped into his mind when he witnessed the excitement and expectation written all over his grandmother’s face.

Could it be possible that after so many years of being alone, Grandma has fallen in love with Yu Lili? A May-December romance wouldn’t be too bad! Furthermore, both of them are female!

Shen Zhilie suddenly felt a shiver creep up his spine as goosebumps rose all over.

What a pervert!

Old Mrs. Shen had absolutely no idea of the images and thoughts that were in her grandson’s mind. She was far too preoccupied with looking forward to the night.

As for Yu Lili, after she had gotten into the taxi, she gave Ou Ming a call. He hung up without answering, which shocked Yu Lili.

She tried again. The second time, Ou Ming answered the call. His first sentence was, “I accidentally pressed the wrong button.”

That made sense to Yu Lili. She changed the topic. “Have you eaten?”

“No. I was waiting for you. Where are you?” Ou Ming’s voice was low and carried a tone of reliance. “Did you just wake up?”

“Yeah. I overslept by accident. I’m in the taxi now. I’ll be there soon.” A thought then crossed her mind. “Did you wash up last night?”

“No,” he said.

“Did you wipe your body?” Yu Lili asked.

“No,” Ou Ming said.

“Why not?” she asked.

“I couldn’t wring the towel.” Those few words uttered by Ou Ming hid a hint of grievance within.

He sounded so pitiable that Yu Lili couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Your mom didn’t help you?”

“I’m a grown-up! If I still needed my mom’s help, what would that make me?” Ou Ming asked.

“And, it’s fine if I showered you?” Yu Lili asked, a little unsatisfied with his comment.

“You’re different! You’re my woman,” he replied.

Those few words made Yu Lili’s heart soar. Her face lifted in a smile. “I’m hanging up. I’m almost there.”

The taxi stopped soon enough. Yu Lili paid her fare and got out. When she rang the bell, Jiao Ziqing answered the door.

Jiao Ziqing let out a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Yu Lili and asked, somewhat accusatorily, “Why are you only here now? Don’t you know what time it is?”

Yu Lili became a little unhappy when she heard the tone, but she acted as if she heard nothing. She called out, “Auntie,” before going up the stairs.

“Hold on! Have you eaten?” Jiao Ziqing asked.

Yu Lili stopped mid-step and turned around.

Jiao Ziqing brought a tray of food out from the kitchen. “Ou Ming hasn’t eaten yet. He’s waiting for you. So, I prepared enough for two.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” Yu Lili took the tray over and headed up the stairs.

Jiao Ziqing was about to say something else, but faced with such an approach from Yu Lili, she swallowed her words and kept her unhappiness buried.

The door to Ou Ming’s room wasn’t closed. He was seated on the couch beside his bed. In front of him was a table. On it were a computer and a cell phone.

Upon entering, Yu Lili heard words being read out by the computer. Ou Ming’s hands were flying across the keyboard. The words he typed were all being reflected on the computer screen. There wasn’t a single mistake.

Yu Lili lightly clicked her tongue and announced, “Lunch time!”

Ou Ming’s hands stopped immediately. He turned around. His eyes still remained unfocused and empty. “Did my mom say anything to you?”

“She told me to bring the food up and have lunch with you. She didn’t say anything else,” Yu Lili said.

“That’s all?” Ou Ming asked.

“Was she supposed to say something to me?” Yu Lili asked.

“My mom wants you to live together with us,” he said.
