The 99th Divorce

That was the box for the ring.

Shen Manting’s eyes were sparkling when she recognized it.

She opened it, and inside was the ring she had tried to wear secretly last time.

The beautiful ring was shaped like a heart. The intricate details and carvings on the ring were indications that it was made with exquisite workmanship. There was a giant, glistening diamond in the middle.

“Have you seen it before?” Shen Luo’an gazed into her eyes and wondered why she did not look surprised.

Shen Manting nodded. “Yes, I saw it. But it was too big for my finger.”

Shen Luo’an smiled and picked up the ring. “Give me your left hand.”

Shen Manting stretched her hand out, and Shen Luo’an put the ring firmly on the ring finger of her left hand.

It was just a bit loose but much better than last time!

Shen Manting was slightly stunned. She said, “It’s only been a few days! Have I already gained so much weight?”

“Probably.”

That seemed to be the only logical reason.

In reality, however, Shen Luo’an had done some extra work and managed to get someone to adjust the size of the ring.

The original ring was made according to Shen Manting’s former height and weight. Hence, it was too loose for her to wear now.

In the past week, he secretly measured her finger twice while she was asleep, and finally got the right size of the ring.

After she had gained some weight, the ring could finally fit her finger well.

Shen Manting was delighted. Looking at the ring in her hand, she said, “It’s so beautiful. I told Qianqian yesterday that the ring on her hand was extravagant. Now my ring is even more beautiful than hers!”

The heart shape was perfect for young girls like her.

Shen Luo’an knew she would like it.

He then smiled and said, “Sit tight.”

He leaned over and fastened her seat belt.

After that, Shen Luo’an drove towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Shen Manting felt like she was in a dream. She simply signed and took the picture whenever she was asked to.

After a series of processes, they finally came out with two red marriage certificates.

The large, golden characters on the certificates were a testimony of their marriage on this day.

The hot temperature warmed up Shen Manting’s heart as well.

“Let’s go eat now.”

“Sure!” Shen Manting grabbed his arm with her blushed cheeks and said softly, “Honey, I want to eat roast duck.”

“Okay.”

…

When Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie arrived in Yun Town, Ye Zhenhua had just woken up.

After taking her father out for dinner, Ye Qianqian went to stay at Fang Tongtong’s house for a while.

Fang Tongtong’s boyfriend was from Qing Town, which was two hours away from Yun Town. His name was Qian Zengsheng.

Qian Zengsheng seemed to be a reliable man. However, Ye Qianqian did not know whether she was being too critical or not, but she felt that this man did not love Fang Tongtong that much.

She knew that Shen Zhilie would always look at her with a light in his eyes — before falling in love with her and even after they got married.

It felt very splendid and beautiful.

Every time Ye Qianqian saw that gaze, she knew that he loved her. She could not help but feel elated inside.

However, when this man looked at Fang Tongtong, he did not have the same spark in his eyes.

Although, it could be different from person to person.

Ye Qianqian mulled over such thoughts.

They chatted for a while. Before long, Shen Zhilie came to pick her up.

Fang Tongtong walked her out of the door. When she saw Shen Zhilie, she looked at Ye Qianqian in envy and said, “Let’s go for a walk tomorrow. I have a lot to say to you.”

“We’ll be at my dad’s place tomorrow, then we’ll return the day after tomorrow. I’m afraid it won’t be too convenient for us,” Shen Zhilie said coldly. Since two years ago, he had never behaved cordially towards Fang Tongtong. “Honey, let’s go.”
