The 99th Divorce

The color of the fiery red roses burned so brightly they were breathtaking. Yu Lili froze in surprise. She looked up only to see Ou Ming’s mischievous and enchanting face.

His face carried with it a smile. He placed the bouquet of flowers into Yu Lili’s arms as he said, “Here you go.”

Yu Lili’s looked at the huge bouquet in her lap and blinked her eyes.

Ou Ming began to laugh. He lowered his face to kiss her on her lips. In a low voice, he asked, “Are they beautiful?”

Yu Lili was beaming. She bit her bottom lip as she nodded her head and asked, “How did you make them appear so magically?”

“It’s magic. So, how could I tell you?” Ou Ming bent down again and kissed her on the lips.

Yu Lili subconsciously looked around. Her face was furiously blushing. After a moment’s hesitation, she closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

All of a sudden, Ou Ming seized her left hand. A feeling of coldness touched the tip of her ring finger and made its way past her knuckles.

Yu Lili’s heart skipped a beat. She opened her eyes to look down at her hand. Her sudden movement caused Ou Ming lips to land on her face instead.

She looked at the diamond ring on her hand. The style and lines looked familiar. It was the design Ou Ming had left in his study a while back.

“Does it look familiar?” Ou Ming play around with her ring finger and murmured, “This is called ‘Most Beloved.’”

Most Beloved…

Strangely, her nose began to ache with unshed tears. She felt a heat rise up within her. Yu Lili’s eyes began to redden. She looked up at Ou Ming.

“I’d been preparing for a few years. Only now did the opportunity arise for me to give it to you. You were too heartless.” The tone of Ou Ming’s voice harbored a tinge of offence and laughter, as well as an indescribable sense of warmth. “There’s one more.”

He opened Yu Lili’s palm and put a cold little metal circle on it. It was a man’s ring. It matched her ring. The design was firm and manly. It looked extremely pleasant to the eye.

Ou Ming stretched out his injured left hand toward Yu Lili. He straightened his arm and bit back a smile. “Come on,” he said.

Yu Lili slid the ring into his finger. Ou Ming flipped his hand over to hold on to hers. He kissed her on the back of her hand and said, “Come, Wife. Let’s eat. We’ll head home after that.”

Yu Lili gazed at him with sparkling eyes. She nodded her head.

The food was served. After they finished their meal, the two made their way back down the tower. Perhaps it was because they were in a good mood, or perhaps it was because it was their wedding they, both of them were dressed resplendently.

Many passersby turned to look at them. They looked at the couple’s face, and their eyes were filled with envy.

The couple headed to the carpark. Yu Lili drove out, but she was suddenly at a loss of where to go.

Ou Ming had said to go home after their meal.

But, where is home? Whose home should we return to?

Ou Ming turned to look at her. With raised eyebrows, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Lili turned back to look at him. With a giggle, she asked, “Where should we go now?”

“Home. Let’s go back to our home,” he said.

“So, where should I go?” Yu Lili asked.

“To our new home. Just drive straight,” Ou Ming said.

New home? A new home for a newlywed couple?

Yu Lili blushed. She started the car and stepped on the accelerator, following the directions Ou Ming gave her. The location of the new home was in an extremely quiet neighborhood. But, it wasn’t remote at all.

She had been here before. Wasn’t this the neighborhood that Li Sicheng’s home is situated in?
