The 99th Divorce

A distinct voice could be heard from afar and Li Jianyue turned to look.

Yu Chulin beamed as he walked over to them.

His smile was exceptionally gentle and calm and it seemed as if he was beaming at her.

However, the smile was an eyesore for Li Mosen, he felt that it was the smile of a flirtatious manwhore.

Which may certainly be true given how Li Jianyue was indeed mesmerised by it.

She stared at Yu Chulin with her glistening eyes, fixated before she managed a grin and then she proceeded to compliment him, “Brother Chulin, you’re so good looking.”

Yu Chulin’s smiled even wider upon hearing this and asked, “You’re still up; it’s already so late. What are you guys discussing?”

Calm and collected, Li Jianyue began to explain, “Well, today…”

“Do you need anything?” Li Mosen interrupted as he stared at Yu Chulin. “It’s already so late yet you haven’t showered, have you?”

Although Yu Chulin knew that Li Mosen was intentionally changing the subject, he was unbothered by it. He then smiled and replied, “Yes, I have yet to shower. I was about to grab something downstairs when I overheard your conversation so I decided to join in the fun. Ersu, do you mind me joining in the conversation?”

“Of course not,” Li Jianyue assured him with a grin. “What were you looking for downstairs? I might have seen it.”

“My power bank. We were playing downstairs in the afternoon and I forgot to bring it with me when I headed up to my room.”

“I’ll come with you then. I need to grab some water anyway,” Li Jianyue suggested as she walked over to him, completely at ease.

However, Li Mosen stopped her before she could take another step forward. “Wait here. I’ll go with him instead. What do you want to drink?” he asked.

“Lemon water without ice.”

“Alright, wait for me,” Li Mosen replied as he strode over to Yu Chulin arrogantly, the wish bottle still in his hands.

He conveniently shoved Yu Chulin out of the room and closed the door after him before leading Yu Chulin downstairs.

Yu Chulin was two years older than Dasu and Ersu and was only a year older than Li Mosen.

Despite the one year difference in age, Li Mosen did not feel much of a generation gap when he was with Yu Chulin.

On their way down, Li Mosen said, “Ersu is careless and less sensitive to people’s feelings. Sometimes, she’s not so familiar about the ways of the world. I suppose you know about this.”

Yu Chulin had his left hand stuffed in the pocket of his pants. When he heard this, he continued to smile and simply raised his eyebrows as he watched Li Mosen.

Li Mosen did not seem to notice his gaze as he seemed at ease as he continued on, “I hope that you will not enter a girl’s room in future.”

Yu Chulin chuckled and retorted, “Then what were you doing in her room earlier on?”

“I’m her brother,” Li Mosen countered as he turned to look at Yu Chulin calmly.

Yu Chulin nodded but continued to watch Li Mosen intently as he slowly said, “But you’re not her biological brother.”

Li Mosen’s gaze wavered for a fleeting moment. “Yes, but this is irrelevant to what I’ve just asked of you. You’re not allowed to enter Ersu’s room in future,” he asserted unhurriedly.

“He said that he hoped that I wouldn’t enter Li Jianyue’s room earlier on. But now, he specified that I’m not allowed to enter,” Yu Chulin thought.

“He was rather polite at first but did not when he brought it up the second time, he was extremely direct about it. He was smiling but I could definitely sense his hostility,” Yu Chulin mused.

Li Mosen turned to point at the white object in the corner and ordered, “Your power bank’s over there. Take it and head back to your room.”

He then walked into the kitchen in a composed and confident manner.

He was clearly asserting his position as the owner of the house.

“It’s obvious that Li Mosen doesn’t want me around,” Yu Chulin ruminated.
