The 99th Divorce

Ou Ming walked toward her, but Yu Lili ran away from him with a red face. “I’m hungry!” she shouted.

“I’m also hungry,” Ou Ming said seriously, but the emotions in his eyes made Yu Lili overwhelmed with shame and rage. Yu Lili’s face turned even redder as his eyes raked over her body.

Ou Ming’s hunger was sexual, while Yu Lili’s hunger was not.

When Yu Lili turned around, Ou Ming noticed that her clothes were different than usual.

“When did you buy those clothes?” Ou Ming frowned and looked at her with some dissatisfaction.

She hadn’t bought the clothes in the Capital.

Yu Lili stuck out her tongue and said, “I don’t want to be criticized by others. You know I’m a common girl. If I go out wearing luxury brand clothes, people who see me will definitely think that I have a connection to a powerful man. They will investigate me. If…”

If others found out that she was living with Ou Ming, she would get into big trouble. The situation would be difficult to deal with. She had enough of suffering through the negative comments of others. She would always carry the label of a mistress in other people’s eyes.

Yu Lili disliked and even hated that feeling.

Before Yu Lili finished her words, Ou Ming understood that she was displeased.

Seeing her aggravation, he softened his expression a little. He touched her head and said, “Okay. Just follow your heart, but when you are at home, don’t wear those clothes. I don’t like them.”

When he saw Yu Lili dressed in those clothes, he saw the Yu Lili in the Capital. He saw her as the depressed woman that he once pitied.

Ou Ming extremely disliked that feeling too.

Yu Lili smiled, her face like a flower.

Her smile was infectious. Ou Ming chuckled and they walked out the door holding hands.

After the meal, they returned home together.

Ou Ming didn’t try anything sexual again. After a shower, he went into his office to work.

Yu Lili went out alone to print the contract and send it to Sissi. When she got home, she took a shower. After that, Yu Lili laid on the bed and thought of the plot for her new comic. Once she had a good idea of what she wanted to happen, she picked up a notebook and began to write.

…

The next day was Wednesday.

It was Yu Lili’s first day of work, so she dressed formally. When she arrived at her new workplace, Yu Lili found that only two people were hired from yesterday’s interviews and that she was one of them.

The other new hire was a short girl who wore black-rimmed glasses, dressed rather ordinarily, and even looked a bit unfashionable. Her name was Shan Yu.

After meeting all the colleagues in the department, Yu Lili worked with an editor named Zi Yu and began learning her new role as an assistant editor.

Shan Yu worked with Sissi.

Sissi’s real name was Ye Xixi. She was a very beautiful girl with long, curly hair, and she was dressed in a long coat and long skirt. Everyone could see that she was a beautiful girl at first glance.

Yu Lili had sent the contract to Sissi last night instead of bringing it to Sissi herself because she didn’t want Sissi to know that her real name was Li Xiaoyu.

Sitting on her seat, Yu Lili found that the position she was hired for was not very busy. Her main responsibilities were to review the contracts of new painters and the content of comics.

Yu Lili was busy for a while but quickly became idle for the rest of the morning.

In the afternoon, the workplace became even quieter. Yu Lili had heard that an important leader was coming for an inspection. Everyone sat properly and feared that any unprofessionalism would make the leader unhappy.

Curious, Yu Lili looked outside and immediately saw a woman dressed all in pink.
