The 99th Divorce

Royal Pavilion Villa Estate, Kingstown.

Amidst the sprawling villa, a lone dim light was left on in the master bedroom.

The warm, yellow light cast an elongated shadow all over the room.

Inside the room, the black satin sleeping robe outlined the well-defined muscles that lay beneath it.

Hearing the urgent sounds of one notification after another coming from his phone, the man lit a cigarette leisurely, but he didn’t bother to take a puff. Balancing the cigarette between his fingers, he left the cigarette to release a white cloud of smoke.

“GM Li, what shall we do? This movie is very important, and the second female lead has many scenes! If Ye Youyou can’t do it anymore, we’ll have no choice but to change the actress…”

This individual had been personally handpicked by him. If they changed the actress, wouldn’t it be directly offending him?

But, if they didn’t change an actress, how where they going to continue filming the movie?

Ye Youyou was currently injured to a very serious extent. It was predicted that she would require at least three to five months to recover.

It was fortunate that no injure had come to her face. Otherwise, the lady’s future in the film industry would have been ruined.

Li Jinnan was silent for a moment. His eyebrows rose slightly as he tapped his fingertips lightly on the desk. He slowly asked, “Has her family been notified?”

“Er…” The person in charge did not expect that Li Jinnan’s first concern would be this. After thinking for a beat, he replied, “Yes. I believe her husband and parents were informed.”

“Got it. Watch over her. Make sure she has everything she needs,” Li Jinnan said.

“Yes… Yes, but the director of this movie is currently seeking your opinion,” the person in charge said. “Should we change an actress or…”

“Whom does he want to change it to?” Li Jinnan asked.

“There’s a new actress at our company who isn’t too bad. She is no less well-known than Ye Youyou. She’s already gone for an audition with the director and is suitable to replace Ye Youyou in her role,” the person in charge said.

Evidently, they had already taken action and were merely waiting for his nod of approval.

Li Jinnan sudden laughed quietly. After inhaling his cigarette deeply, he said, “Change it, then.”

“Yes!” the person in charge finally heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll make the arrangements right away. See you, GM Li.”

Li Jinnan couldn’t be bothered to engage in small talk. He flung the phone onto the bed. With the cigarette still between his fingers, he laid down on the bed.

Ye Youyou had been injured…

Li Jinnan reach up and massaged his temples. Even he didn’t know what emotions were running through himself. The first woman. The only woman. But, she was already married.

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Jinnan had avoided meeting her face-to-face all this time. The amount of care he had given her from the shadows was more than enough to set tongues wagging. Many people had begun to speculate whether the General Manager of NC was infatuated with this little starlet.

Rumors started to fly. Even Qin Shuhua asked him if he was related in any way to this actress.

He had sidestepped the scandal with much effort.

Now, this had happened. If he went down personally to Hengdian to visit her, it would be courting trouble again.

Li Jinnan let out a long and heavy sigh. His temples were throbbing wildly.

…

Ye Youyou’s injuries weren’t superficial, but they weren’t life-threatening either.

She had fallen hard and hadn’t awoken from her concussion. Her leg was fractured, and her body was covered in abrasions. The wounds had looked bloody but were, thankfully, very serious.

Ye Qianqian rushed on the earliest flight over. When she heard Ye Youyou was out of harm’s way, she quickly reported it back to her father.

What she hadn’t expected was to bump into a familiar figure just as she was hanging up the call with her father.

Shen Luo’an was conversing with the doctor with his arms folded. The expression on his face wasn’t that of a concerned husband whose wife was unconscious. It was that of cold impatience and annoyance.
