The 99th Divorce

The myriad of emotions Ye Youyou experienced at that moment was complicated, but she was no longer sad.

She gazed at Mrs. Shen. With a small smile, she said, “If not for Shen Luo’an, the one sitting in there now would have been me. I should be the one thanking Shen Luo’an.”

As she spoke, Li Jinnan stood up. Without any expression on his face, he looked at Ye Youyou and said, “Let’s go. It’s about time for us to go back to Kingstown.”

“Alright.”

Ye Youyou stood up with him. As she smiled at the people whom she used to be family with, she said, “Everything I did was only what I should have done. Shen Luo’an wasn’t the criminal to begin with. He was only imprisoned because he took the fall for me. Now that I’ve repaid the debt to him, I guess we won’t be seeing each other in other in the future anymore.”

“Youyou…”

“Goodbye.” Ye Youyou smiled. She held Li Jinnan’s hand as she turned around to walk away.

“Don’t be so certain with your words. No one knows what the future holds for us, right?” Shen Zhilie stared at Ye Youyou’s back as he said, “But thank you all the same, Ye Youyou.”

Ye Youyou paused in her footsteps but didn’t turn around.

Under their watchful gazes, with Li Jinnan as her support, she gradually made her way out of their sight.

As Shen Zhilie stared at Ye Youyou’s back, a sense of wistfulness came over him.

He quickly stood up and walked over to where Shen Luo’an was.

Shen Luo’an had already been released from his handcuffs. As he looked at his brother, he suddenly felt a sense of attachment toward him.

He stepped forward and gave him a big hug.

Shen Zhilie patted Shen Luo’an firmly on the back a few times before saying, “You’re finally out, all thanks to Ye Youyou.”

The celebratory smile on Shen Luo’an’s face faded away as he looked at Shen Zhilie and asked, “Where is she?”

“She left with Li Jinnan,” Shen Zhilie truthfully stated. “Li Jinnan treats her very well, and Ye Youyou is pregnant. You shouldn’t see her anymore after this.”

He was determined to add in the last sentence as a reminder.

It was obvious from Ye Youyou’s parting words that it was her wish too.

Shen Luo’an felt conflicted when it heard that and lowered his head in defeat. With a bitter laugh, he said, “So, she still hates me. What can I expect? For so many years, I didn’t believe her. If it were me, I don’t think I’d forgive such a person either.”

“It’s good that you know.”

Shen Zhilie had no sympathy for him. He patted him heavily on his back and said, “Granny has found Shen Manting.”

Shen Luo’an straightened up immediately and asked, “How is she doing?”

“She’s also pregnant.”

Shen Zhilie felt that the world was really miraculous.

The number of women he knew wasn’t high, but the few that he did know all had good news at the same time.

Ye Youyou, Yu Lili, Shen Manting…

Shen Luo’an’s emotions were complicated. He looked down. With a mirthless smile, he remarked, “She’s pregnant… I’ve let her down.”

“It’s good that you know!” Shen Zhilie repeated his comment. Without any empathy, he bluntly stated, “You should do a count on how many women you’ve ruined!”

Shen Luo’an sighed but didn’t say a word.

When Shen Zhilie saw the state he was in, he didn’t provoke him any further. He patted him on his shoulder and said, “Go on and change your clothes. We’ll go home after that.”

“During this time, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” Shen Luo’an said. “I ruined them, but the only one I can make amends to is Shen Manting.”

“Are you going to marry her?” Shen Zhilie asked.

“Yeah.”
