The 99th Divorce

“Of course we can’t.” Ou Ming objected without a second thought. “I intend to tell my parents about it only after I’ve resolved the current issues at hand.”

His mother’s objection to Yu Lili was huge, to the extent that even Ou Huojin and Wen Fenglin couldn’t change her mind. The only way Jiao Ziqing would ever accept Yu Lili was if she came to the decision on her own. That in itself wasn’t an impossibility, but the likelihood of that happening remained way too slim.

Judging from Jiao Ziqing’s vehement objection, Ou Ming’s guess was that his mother’s opinion had everything to do with Yu Lili’s background. If they managed to find Yu Lili’s biological parents, perhaps there was a chance that the situation could turn for the better.

“This is such a big thing,” Li Sicheng said. “I think your father is going to be very angry.”

Li Sicheng had known Ou Ming since they were both young. Naturally, he was very familiar with Ou Huojin as well.

Ou Huojin was a man who looked calm and peaceful. In reality, he had a fiery temper. If he were angry, it was even possible that he would raise his hand.

“My dad is easy to handle. The issue at hand is my mom.” Ou Ming sighed and said, “Let’s cross that bridge when we get to it.”

Su Qianci saw that the conversation had turned serious. She turned to look at Li Jianyue, who was listening from the side with dubious comprehension, and said to her softly, “Go to the room with your brothers to play.”

Li Jianyue blinked her eyes and obediently nodded her head. She held Li Jianqian’s hand and said, “Older Brother, let’s go in to play.”

Li Jianqian never could say no to his little sister. He brought Li Mosen and his sister inside before declaring, “I’m going to read a book. The two of you can go ahead and play without me.”

Li Jianyue was conversely happy to hear him say that. With a wave of her hand, she said, “Go on, then. I’ll play with Older Brother Mosen!”

Li Jianqian didn’t mind at all and turned to leave the room.

Li Jianyue closed the door and declared excitedly, “Older Brother Mosen, let’s play that game!”

Li Mosen furrowed his brows and very reluctantly replied, “Can we not? There are only two of us, and I’m always at the bottom. It’s so tiring!”

“I don’t care! If I were at the bottom, I would be crushed by you! Hurry! Lie down!” Li Jianyue hurried him and pushed him flat onto the bed.

Li Mosen was just like Li Jianqian when it came to his sister. He couldn’t say no to the little girl, and he didn’t know what to do. He thought about it for a moment before lying back down.

Li Jianyue pushed him until he was lying on his side and commented unhappily, “You should be lying this way!”

Immediately after, she climbed onto Li Mosen and laid atop him. Her chubby body pressed against his very comfortably.

Li Mosen laid there helplessly as he asked, “Are you ready?”

Li Jianyue was excited. She straightened her body and yelled out, “I’m ready! Push me over!”

Li Mosen turned his body. Li Jianyue’s little soft body rolled onto the other side of the bed. As her body landed on the other side, she excitedly called out, “Again! Let’s do it again!”

Li Mosen laid on his side again, and Li Jianyue took her usual position. They did that repeatedly in succession. Li Jianyue’s excitement didn’t wane at all. Instead, she got even more enthusiastic and called out, “Older Brother Mosen, let’s do it again!”

“No way. I’m really tired,” Li Mosen said. “If we continue, I’ll be crushed to death by you!”

Li Jianyue pouted her little lips. Looking at Li Mosen with doe-eyes, she pleaded, “Just one last time!”

Li Mosen saw her expression and gave in, but with a warning, “It’s really the last time!”

“OK!” Just as Li Jianyue climbed back up, the door to the room opened.
