The 99th Divorce

When the phone rang for a long time without any answer, Yu Lili began to panic. She looked around at her surroundings. The people walking behind her at a leisurely pace had already caught up. Everyone except Ou Ming was present.

The call she made disconnected automatically after exceeding the number of ringtones. Yu Lili doggedly dialed the phone a second time. Before she could complete the call, she heard a voice from behind, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”

Luo Zhan was brandishing his racket around as he walked over. “You’re really calling Ou Ming? Ha ha ha… I was just joking! Don’t take me seriously!”

Yu Lili kicked him in annoyance and replied, “Go away, I really have no idea where Ou Ming’s gone. Do you know where he is?”

“How would I know?” Luo Zhan shrugged his shoulders and didn’t even bother to look at Yu Lili. “The call can’t connect?”

“It can, but no one’s picking up.” Yu Lili frowned and looked at Luo Zhan.

She realized that Luo Zhan behind Luo Zhan’s mask of indifference, he was trying to bite back a smile.

Yu Lili grew suspicious and asked, “Do you know where he is?”

Luo Zhan turned and looked at her hesitantly as he replied, “Why do you keep asking me? Ask Second Brother instead! I already told you that I have no idea! I really don’t know!”

When Yu Lili saw how he was acting, she grew even more suspicious. Luo Zhan wasn’t acting normally at all. She was now convinced that Luo Zhan knew exactly where Ou Ming was.

She disconnected the call and put her phone back into her pocket. She stretched her back and commented, “Sigh, it’s been such a long time since I’ve relaxed. Qianci, let’s go into the hot spring!”

Su Qianci was in the midst of drinking a bottle of water that Li Sicheng had brought over. She was in high spirits. When she heard Yu Lili, she shoved the bottle back into Li Sicheng’s hands and replied, “Sure! The two Miss Yes, come join us as well!”

“Mommy, I want to go too!” Li Jianyue ran over to Su Qianci as fast as she could for fear of being left behind.

Su Qianci’s smile widened as she crouched down to wrap her daughter in her arms. In a whisper, she said, “Come, let’s sneak off so that Daddy doesn’t come along.”

When Li Jianyue heard that, she closed her mouth immediately and gave a furtive glance at Li Sicheng. Putting a fat little finger to her lips, she said, “We’ll sneak over. But…” Her big round eyes looked around. She went up to Su Qianci’s ear. In a voice that she thought was soft, she said, “Daddy already knows. What are we going to do?”

The adults heard it, and all burst out laughing.

Li Mosen cleared his throat and said, “Ersu, you’re speaking too loudly.”

Li Jianyue quickly shut her mouth. Pulling Su Qianci away, she said, “Mommy, let’s go quickly. They can’t come with us.”

Luo Zhan walked up and pinched Li Jianyue gently on her cheeks as he remarked, “Little Rascal, we boys want to stay among ourselves.” With that, he turned around and yelled, “Come, where are the men?”

Li Jianqian and Li Mosen immediately raised their hands and answered in unison, “Here!”

“Let’s go!” Luo Zhan led the two boys inside.

Li Jianyue couldn’t bear to be parted from Luo Zhan. She wanted to go with them. She blinked her doe-eyes at Su Qianci and asked, “Mommy, can I go with Uncle Luo Zhan, please?”
