The 99th Divorce

Li Jinnan gave a helpless laugh. “What?”

She repeated his words from earlier and said, “I guess all pregnant women let their imagination run wild?”

Li Jinnan was at a loss as to what to do with her. He smacked his forehead and replied, “That’s not what I meant…”

Feeling even more aggrieved than before, Ye Youyou said, “Li Jinnan, let me tell you this. If another man ever tried to seduce me, I would never leave you.”

“I believe you… I believe that you wouldn’t.”

“No,” Ye Youyou cut him off. “I wouldn’t leave you, even if you died. I could do what Second Sister-in-law did.”

When Li Jinnan heard her say this, a smile formed on his face.

Li Jinnan steadily navigated the car through a small district. They weren’t travelling at too high a speed, and it lifted one’s spirits to be able to look at the surroundings, which were slowly replaced by greenery.

Ye Youyou resumed her speech and said, “Although I might not be able to manage such a big company as well as Second Sister-in-law, I would still try my best. I would take good care of the children, and I would raise them well. And if I couldn’t handle it, I could always learn. If Second Sister-in-law can do things like manage a company, I can too.”

Amused by Ye Youyou’s words, Li Jinnan couldn’t hold his laughter in any longer. He stopped the car, leaned against the steering wheel, and laughed out loud.

Ye Youyou became anxious and asked, “What are you laughing at? I’m being serious.”

“Do you look forward to me dying?” Li Jinnan joked as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

At this, Ye Youyou pinched his arm in frustration. “You know what I mean!”

“Hahaha!” Li Jinnan undid his safety belt and said, “I know, but what you said is impossible.”

“I’m just saying, what if…”

“No ‘what ifs.'” Li Jinnan leaned over and undid Ye Youyou’s safety belt, too, before replying gently, “We’re going to be together for a very long time.”

Li Jinnan’s voice was low and seductively husky, and Ye Youyou instantly felt her heart flutter. She met his eyes, which were dark and deep, and got lost in them.

Li Jinnan held her face in his big hands and planted a light and gentle kiss on her forehead.

Ye Youyou pursed her lips, and Li Jinnan quickly got out of the car to open the car door for her.

Li Jinnan helped her out of the car and glanced at her belly with the joy and excitement of a man who was going to be a father for the first time in his life.

“Say, is our child a boy or a girl?” Ye Youyou asked.

“Probably a girl,” he responded.

“Probably a boy. Grandpa already said that it’s impossible for the child to be a girl.”

“I like girls. It has to be a girl.”

…

A young voice that sounded as sweet and soft as cotton candy yelled, “Three, two, one!”

Li Jianyue immediately turned her head around to the vast, empty space behind her. There was a mischievous smile on her tiny, innocent face as she said, “I’ll come and find you all, my brothers!”

However, nothing stirred in the vast, empty living room.

Li Jianyue was dressed in a pink princess dress, and she wore a pink butterfly bow clip in her hair. Her chubby cheeks were pink and delicate, and her eyes were as large as blackberries.

She made her way around noiselessly, calling, “Brother… Brother Chu… Brother Mosen… Where are you guys? Could you guys cough or sneeze?”

Nobody replied.

“Otherwise I won’t be able to find you guys.”

Still, nobody replied.

A crafty look flashed across her face, and she cunningly yelled to the air, “Oh, Teeny Seu! You’re just in time. Hurry up and help me look for Brother!”

“No way. Ersu, you can’t cheat,” a voice said somewhere in the distance.

When Li Jianyue heard Mosen’s voice, she immediately turned around and ran toward it, saying, “I know where you are now, Brother Mosen!”
