The 99th Divorce

“That’s nonsense! Uncle Blind Man said that it was just a possibility, not a fact. Don’t worry so much about it.”

The smile on Ye Qianqian’s face slowly ebbed away, and she sighed.

Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan soon joined them at the table. When Ye Youyou saw Ye Qianqian’s upset expression, she went to her sister in concern and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Sob sob… Youyou, what am I going to do if I can’t conceive in the future?” Ye Qianqian looked at Ye Youyou with hurt written all over her face.

Ye Youyou chuckled and sat down on the chair that Li Jinnan pulled out for her. She replied, “How is that possible? Why wouldn’t you be able to conceive?”

A dubious expression appeared on her face as she looked at Ye Qianqian and then at Shen Zhilie. She asked, “The both of you are already talking about having kids?”

Didn’t they just make up?

Ye Youyou was surprised. She hadn’t expected them to get married so quickly just after getting back together, much less discuss having children!

Ye Qianqian pouted her lips and said dejectedly, “Not at all. It’s just that I met a string of unfortunate incidents recently…”

Ye Qianqian recounted to Ye Youyou her visit to Shen Zhilie’s parents and what his grandmother had said to her, as well as the blind man. The pained expression on Ye Qianqian’s face as she ate, coupled with the look of grievance in her eyes, made her look pitiable indeed.

“Youyou, I envy you so much now. Your family is so perfect, and your belly is so huge! Tell me, what am I supposed to do if it really turns out as these people predicted, and I can’t conceive?”

“That won’t happen. That old lady is a charlatan.” Ye Youyou was angry. “She’s always been full of nonsense! She even said that I would meet with huge misfortune when I turned twenty-five. I’m now twenty-six! What huge misfortune was she talking about?”

Ye Qianqian’s eyes widened when she heard that. “No way! When did she say that?”

“Two years ago.”

“But you did indeed meet with a huge misfortune! Have you forgotten?” Ye Qianqian covered her mouth in shock. “Have you forgotten what happened with Guan Queye, and that Shen Luo’an was imprisoned?”

“That doesn’t count. I was already twenty-six then! She said it would happen when I was twenty-five.”

“What about the accident when the metal strings snapped during your filming stunt?” Ye Qianqian began rattling every incident she could think of nervously. “You were hospitalized for a long period of time because of that accident. Doesn’t that count as a huge misfortune?”

Ye Youyou was speechless. “Fine. Even if that was the case, aren’t I perfectly fine now?”

“It’s not the same thing at all!” Ye Qianqian began to panic. “They specifically said that I won’t be able to conceive. Oh, no! Oh, no! What am I going to do?”

“That won’t happen! You’re just scaring yourself.” Shen Zhilie held her hand, helpless and exasperated. “They only said that it was a possibility. Believe me. I’ll explain it to you in detail when we get back and help you understand.”

He was going to have to do a simple therapy for her later that night. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before Ye Qianqian’s mental health became affected.

Shen Zhilie regretted his actions. “If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have brought you back to your hometown…”

Ye Qianqian knew that she was overreacting a little. She quickly patted Shen Zhilie’s hand reassuringly and conceded, “All right, fine. I’ll stop talking about it. Let’s have lunch.”

“You’re not to scare yourself anymore. It’s useless to worry about it.”
