The 99th Divorce

Ye Qianqian immediately felt an inexplicable sense of surprise, especially when she saw Yu Lili’s serious expression while giving that answer. A strange and indescribable feeling came over her heart. This had to be the legendary feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

“Enough!” Ye Qianqian couldn’t take it any longer. She stuck both hands out and pushed Yu Lili away contemptuously with a look of disgust on her face. “Enough of your talk. Your entire being is emanating vibes of love. It’s so disgusting!”

Yu Lili shook her head in sympathy. She pulled the covers over her head and turned to face the other direction, commenting, “The anger of a singleton.”

When Ye Qianqian heard that, she glared at Yu Lili and burrowed deep into the covers. With both hands, she pinched Yu Lili at her waist.

Yu Lili yelped out loud in surprise before quickly bursting out in guffaws. “What are you doing?”

“The singleton isn’t angry, she’s jealous! He’s already an ex-boyfriend, and you’re still so hung up on him! What a love you have!” Ye Qianqian stopped tickling Yu Lili and hugged her shoulder from behind. “But, I have to say, that ex-boyfriend of yours looks like he wants to get back together with you very much. You didn’t see his expression just now. He really looked like he wanted to tie you up!”

Hearing Ye Qianqian’s words made Yu Lili reveal a smile.

“Given how he treated you before, if he were to really ask to make up, you mustn’t give in too easily,” Ye Qianqian said. “You mustn’t show your hand that he’s your one and only.”

Yu Lili felt awkward upon hearing that. With her back toward Ye Qianqian, she didn’t dare to turn around and asked, “Why?”

“What do you mean by ‘why?’” Ye Qianqian asked. “You’re a comic artist. Shouldn’t you be well-versed in the ways of such feelings? Men are all the same. If something is gotten too easily, they won’t treasure it. You must keep him on his toes. Don’t let him feel that you’re cheap. Otherwise, once he starts treating you like an old and broken shoe, your status won’t be as stable anymore!”

Yu Lili began perspiring inwardly. Toward Ye Qianqian’s discourse of relationships, she had no reply.

At the same time, she found that her words made a lot of sense.

“Then what should I do…” She had already…

Ye Qianqian was completely in the dark. “Actually, humans are all the same. We all have our bad habits, especially men! Men like Ou Ming who are rich, powerful, and good-looking all have something huge in common. They are despicable!”

“What?” Yu Lili was surprised.

“The more they can’t have it, the more they want it. At the beginning, this feeling is fueled by simple desire. That will change over time. If they can’t get it, that feeling will evolve into that of possessiveness. If they’re still unable to obtain it, then it will become a conquest to them.” As Ye Qianqian spoke, she stuck her hand out and slowly clenched it in front of Yu Lili into a fist. “Once it’s at the conquest stage, that feeling will slowly become a habit. When that time comes, they will think ‘wow, this was really hard to get! I must treasure it!’ Do you understand me?”

Yu Lili listened as Ye Qianqian talked circles around her. She turned to face Ye Qianqian, looked at her in surprise, and began to clap in sarcastic admiration, “You’ve never even been in a relationship before! How is your imagination so active? It’s awesome!”

When Ye Qianqian heard that, she hit Yu Lili’s hands down and resentfully pushed her away. “F*ck you. I may not have been in a relationship, but I understand men better than you do! You’re so easily swayed by love that I’m afraid you won’t be thinking clearly when the time comes! So, I’m giving you a heads-up!”
