The 99th Divorce

“I have no idea! Come, let’s go look for your mommy.” Yu Lili held the little girl’s hand. A smile came to her face naturally.

Ye Qianqian saw the way Li Jianyue resembled Su Qianci and asked in surprise, “Is this Su Qianci’s daughter? Wow, she’s so cute! There are no pictures of her on Weibo, and none on the Internet at all! I never thought she’d be so pretty!” Ye Qianqian crouched down. Looking at Li Jianyue with a smile, she asked, “What is your name?”

Li Jianyue had never been one to shy away from strangers. When she saw that Ye Qianqian liked her, she laughed happily and replied, “Auntie, my name is Li Jianyue. I’m five years old this year!”

“How fast time flies!” Ye Qianqian extended her arms toward her. “Can I give you a hug?”

Li Jianyue had always loved receiving hugs from adults. When she heard Ye Qianqian, she immediately raised her arms.

Ye Qianqian carried the child gleefully and asked, “Lili, where is her mother?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know where my husband is either.” Yu Lili gave Ou Ming a call on her cell phone, but there was no answer.

The next moment, Yu Lili’s phone started ringing. It was Su Qianci calling.

“Hello? Qianci… Oh, OK… She’s here with me. She’s looking for you… Sure. We’ll head over now. Just give us a moment.” Yu Lili hung up the call quickly and led the group to the indoor badminton court.

The weather was great, and the sun shone brightly. In spring, no matter how bright the sun’s rays got, it was never scorching.

Su Qianci was dressed in white sportswear. Her long hair had been gathered up in a ponytail, giving her an energetic and youthful appearance.

When she saw Yu Lili and the group approaching, she waved toward them and yelled out, “Ersu, go play with your brothers!”

When Li Ersu heard that, she grew upset. When she turned her head and saw Li Mosen and Li Jianqian in the middle of a match, her expression changed immediately. She struggled to climb down from Ye Qianqian’s arms.

The moment Ye Qianqian put her down, Li Jianyue ran toward Li Mosen and Li Jianqian immediately with a pitter-patter of her feet.

“Brothers! Brothers! I want to play too!” Li Jianyue’s voice was very loud, and her saccharinely sweet tone was an attention-grabber.

The adults were in the midst of a match. When they heard the little girl’s voice, they turned their heads and saw the little girl running over. They couldn’t help chuckling.

“The kids are growing up fast.” Luo Zhan received the shuttlecock and hit it back to the other side. “Second Brother, the kids are already five years old. Do you and your wife have plans for more?”

Li Sicheng received the shuttlecock and served it back as he replied, “I do want more, but my wife doesn’t want to go through labor again.”

“Tsk.” Luo Zhan shook his head. “I bet she’s suffering from PTSD. After all, when she gave birth to the two children, she was alone in the labor room. If not for third brother during that period, I’m afraid Sister-in-law would not have been able to pull through. You, unconscionable cad!”

The physical fitness of the geek had always been a source of worry. Luo Zhan began to pant as he spoke.

Li Sicheng’s breathing was a lot steadier. As he saw him begin to pant like a dog, he burst out laughing. “Is it really that tiring?”

“A little,” Luo Zhan came to a stop. “Let’s rest for a moment.”

Li Sicheng kept his racket and went to get to the side to retrieve a bottle of water. He tossed the bottle over to Luo Zhan and asked, “Has your mother been pestering you to get a girlfriend?”

Luo Zhan caught the bottle of water. After taking a long gulp, he replied, “Yes. But, it’s just too bad that none of her candidates were suitable.”

Most importantly, he couldn’t bring himself to ruin their lives.
