The 99th Divorce

When Li Jinnan was done speaking, he turned and strode out of the ward.

Ye Youyou stared at the candy in front of her feeling utterly baffled.

This was given by Li Jinnan? It doesn’t match his image at all. Had he come all the way from Kingstown just to give me candy?

As she was lost in her thoughts, the candy on the covers got picked up by Ye Qianqian.

“Tch. The candy that was delivered from afar. It’s a small token, but the intention is clear. He’s even covering all your medical bills. My dear Youyou, why do I feel that this boss of yours harbors certain intentions toward you?” Ye Qianqian wiggled her eyebrows and laughed mischievously. “This man isn’t too bad. He’s good-looking and capable. I’ve never heard him being associated with any scandal or vices. He’s a good man. If you’re able to nab him, that’d be pretty awesome.”

“Stop talking nonsense. I’m already married.” Ye Youyou looked upset. “If you like the candy, then take it. I have no interest in such childish stuff.”

“Other than a marriage certificate and heartache, what else does your marriage have?” Ye Qianqian asked. “If you ask me, that assh*le Shen Luo’an does not deserve you at all!”

Ye Youyou didn’t speak. She just closed her eyes slowly.

Ye Qianqian saw that she wasn’t getting a reaction out of Ye Youyou and lost interest. She subsequently kept her mouth shut. She placed the candy on the bedside table and commented, “I’m leaving the token of affection here. I’m going out to make a phone call to a friend.”

“M’kay,” Ye Youyou answered without opening her eyes.

Ye Qianqian’s footsteps got farther and farther away, until she closed to room door behind her. Only then did Ye Youyou open her eyes.

She turned her head and looked at the beautifully wrapped piece of candy. Reluctantly, she reached her hand out and picked it up. She unwrapped it with much difficulty.

After observing it for a long time, she felt a little disappointed when she finally confirmed that it was nothing more than a normal piece of candy. She had hoped there would be a little written message hidden inside. Otherwise, why would he come all this way just to deliver a lone candy?

That is so weird…

After giving it some thought, Ye Youyou rewrapped the candy and placed it under her pillow.

…

As Li Jinnan walked out of the hospital ward, his face wouldn’t stop burning up.

Why am I having such a guilty conscience? “Uncle, are you going to cajole a girl? When a girl is in a bad mood, she will cheer up after eating something sweet. Here, let me give this to you.” To think I have listened to the nonsensical words of a little kid. What was I thinking?

Li Jinnan found himself speechless. When he recalled the look of surprise on Ye Qianqian’s face, he felt even more awkward. That other lady was probably Ye Youyou’s sister.

He thought for a moment before fishing his phone out to give Ye Youyou a call.

Ye Youyou’s cell phone was by her bedside. When she heard it ring, she turned to look at it. The name “GM Li” flashed across the screen glaringly.

She reached out for the phone with much pain. She pressed on the speaker function and laid it beside her as she called out, “Yes, GM Li? Is something the matter?”

“Yeah. I’m going to sign a contract now,” he said “I will settle your stuff later. You just need to focus on getting well.”

So, the real reason he is here is to sign a contract… So, visiting me was just something along the way?

Strangely, Ye Youyou felt herself relax as she replied, “Thank you, GM Li.”

She thought, Thanks are not just expressed on the lips. Action was needed to prove it.

Before Ye Youyou could say anything else, she heard Li Jinnan say curtly, “I’m hanging up.”

Immediately, the disengaged tone sounded through the phone.

The hospital ward was silent once again. For some strange reason, Ye Youyou’s heart felt a lot more at peace.
