The 99th Divorce

After blurting out these words, Shen Manting immediately covered up her face out of embarrassment.

Her eyes started darting around furtively, as though she was ensuring that no one around them heard her.

Shen Luo’an found this extremely adorable and he could not help but laugh.

He then imitated her and started glancing around too before placing a finger on his lips.

Shen Manting quickly understood what he meant and cupped her hands over her mouth, blinking innocently.

“Most of the people here are single. They’ll seek revenge on me if they catch you behaving like this,” Shen Luo’an whispered.

Shen Manting was shocked. She continued to cover her mouth, no longer daring to utter another word to him.

“Why are the people here so brutal?” she wondered.

“To think that they will actually exact revenge,” she thought.

Her huge eyes seethed with fiery anger as these thoughts ran through her mind.

Shen Luo’an chuckled when he saw this.

However, he immediately looked back down and resumed his work.

Shen Luo’an did not want to keep Shen Manting waiting for long. After Lao Wu and Jin Yang returned from lunch, he immediately threw the work back to them.

Despite their protests and objections, he replied stoically and firmly, “My wife’s here. I need to keep her company. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After he said this, he hugged his wife and they both left ostentatiously with many people in the laboratory staring after them in envy.

Shen Manting could feel their eyes boring a hole into her back and she clung onto Shen Luo’an’s arm timidly.

However, deep in her heart, she felt a sense of thrill to be able to do this to others, she knew how it felt to have the upper hand now.

She was smiling to herself as they walked and after they stepped out of the door, she dived straight into Shen Luo’an’s arms and yelled out, “Dear!”

“Yes?” he said.

Shen Luo’an grazed her cheeks gently with his palms and watched her tenderly. “What’s up?” he asked.

With her hands clutching onto the fabric of his shirt to keep her balance, Shen Manting stood on her tippy toes and swooped in for a kiss.

Her kiss was not smooth, in fact, it was clumsy but it still tugged on his heartstrings.

Shen Luo’an immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and deftly cupped the back of her head before he deepened the kiss.

His kiss was fervent and overbearing. Shen Manting’s breaths immediately turned short and hasty and her entire body tensed up.

She felt a sense of thrill that she had never experienced before.

“My, oh my!” someone exclaimed mockingly.

Shen Luo’an instantly released Shen Manting and turned around to take a look.

A group of accountants were walking out of the laboratory and were looking at the two of them teasingly as they said, “Hi Boss, hi Madam. We’re just passing by. Please continue.”

“Continue?” Shen Manting thought, bewildered.

Her face was already burning red with embarrassment, she then grabbed Shen Luo’an’s shirt and buried herself into his chest.

She only dared to peel her face away from his chest after it seemed like the accountants have left and were far away.

She then looked at Shen Luo’an and mumbled, “Are we heading home now?”

“Do you want to head back home?” he queried, answering her question with his own.

Shen Manting felt like returning home to watch a movie and to hang out with their son.

But when she noticed the deep, passionate look in his eyes, she could not bring herself to say it.

Her face burned even more and she meekly replied, “Well, let’s not head home just yet.”

“What should we do then?” Shen Luo’an asked as he quietly watched her. “Let’s… check into a room?” he suggested.

“Check… Check into a room?” Shen Manting thought.

She instantly felt her body burn up.

She was still aching down there from the previous night of passionate indulgence.

When she heard what he said, she immediately pushed him away and said reproachfully, “I’m not talking to you!”

She quickly stomped away from him, taking wide strides.

Shen Luo’an smiled, grabbed hold of her and said, “I’m joking. Let’s catch a movie.”

“Catch a movie? In the cinema?” she asked, excitement evident in her voice.

“Yes,” he replied.

“Great!” exclaimed Shen Manting rather excitedly. “I’ve never watched a movie in a cinema before!” she rambled.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you there,” he said.

“Dear, is this considered a date then?” she asked.
