The 99th Divorce

Both Xiao Xu and the woman she had just been talking to were stunned. They looked at Ye Youyou in disbelief .

Li Jinnan sat in the car, calm and composed. The wounds on his face had hardened into scabs. On his clean and handsome face, they looked extremely out of place.

Ye Youyou was shocked to see Li Jinnan looking that way. When she heard his words, she instinctively looked at the two colleagues beside her. In addition to the two of them, passersby were also beginning to look weirdly at her.

She easy, but she mustered up her courage to ask, “GM Li, may I ask what this is regarding?”

Li Jinnan simply looked at her and repeated himself, “Get in the car.”

With her colleagues looking on, Ye Youyou was reluctant to comply. If she got into the car now, what would her colleagues think? Will they think Li Jinnan is my patron?

Just as Ye Youyou was busy with her thoughts, Xiao Xu nudged her and said, “Youyou, GM Li is talking to you. You’d better get in the car.”

“Shen is nearby.” Li Jinnan did not mention the full name. His expression when looking at her was deliberately vague. “I could only keep him under police custody for 48 hours. He was released last night.”

Yu Lili was shocked. Her heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, she turned to look to her left and right. Naturally, she knew whom Li Jinnan was referring to.

No wonder I haven’t seen Shen Luo’an these past two days. He has been locked up in the police station!

She had known Shen Luo’an too well to know he wouldn’t just leave matters at that.

“Get in the car. It’s the last time I’m going to say it.” Li Jinnan’s tone was serious. He started the car as he spoke.

Ye Youyou’s heart jumped. With an apologetic look at Xiao Xu, she said, “Sorry, we’ll have to take a raincheck.”

She opened the door of the passenger seat in front and got in. Li Jinnan stepped on the accelerator and moved the car off without waiting for her to buckle her seatbelt.

The car was spacious, but the pressure inside was mounting. Li Jinnan drove fast. As Ye Youyou moved to buckle herself up, her heart wouldn’t stop racing.

“Ms. Ye, do you love your husband?” Li Jinnan asked. His hands were on the steering wheel. He continued staring straight ahead.

Ye Youyou had never expected that the first sentence Li Jinnan would say to her upon getting to the car was a question like that. Her actions were a little clumsy, but the seatbelt was finally buckled with an unusually loud click.

She turned to look up at Li Jinnan. That handsome face that was close to perfection now had a few scrapes added to it. The scrapes had hardened into scabs, giving him an even more imposing air.

Feeling Ye Youyou’s stunned eyes on his, Li Jinnan turned to face her. Just as quickly, he turned away and returned his sight to the road ahead.

Ye Youyou was still in shock. It took a long while before she regained her senses. Hesitantly, and haltingly, she asked, “GM, why do you ask?”

“Your husband is ill,” Li Jinnan replied expressed succinctly. “It’s obvious that he’s a little mentally unstable. When you were in Kingstown, even when you were in the hospital, he barely came by. I heard from your sister that your relationship with your husband isn’t very good. What you have with him is a marriage of convenience, isn’t it?”

Marriage of convenience… In other words, it was marriage for show. Such marriages were common for homosexuals and individuals of high status, as well as individuals who had diseases that couldn’t be made known.

Such people needed another half to maintain their image in public. But, there would never be any love or physical relationship between them and the person they married. The spouses of such individuals were very pitiable.

Ye Youyou gave a start of surprise when she heard Li Jinnan say that. With a bitter laugh, she replied, “I guess you could call it that.”
