The 99th Divorce

Li Jinnan stared at Ye Youyou until she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand. She looked down and asked, “GM Li, what are you doing here?”

NC Entertainment’s headquarters were in Kingstown. As the overseer of the company, why was Li Jinnan always appearing in the Capital?

At Ye Youyou’s question, Li Jinnan’s gaze toward her deepened. In a smooth voice, he replied, “You’ll have you ask your sister about that. Alight from the car.”

Her sister? Ye Qianqian?

Ye Youyou was surprised for a moment. She immediately looked out of the car window. They were at the Capital’s most famous Platinum Five Star Hotel. When she saw the hotel, her body stiffened imperceptibly.

She turned to face Li Jinnan. Ye Youyou wasn’t willing to move. She continued sitting where she was and asked, “GM Li, why are we here?”

“Take a bath. Change into some clean clothes. Have a good rest.” Li Jinnan stated lightly. His tone carried no emotions, and his eyes were calm and alert.

Ye Youyou still wasn’t willing to alight from the car. She replied, “Go to my place instead. It’s not far from here. I have clean clothes at home. I can just go back and change.”

Li Jinnan was about to unbuckle his seatbelt when he heard that. His hand paused. He turned to look at Ye Youyou with an expression that was neither a laugh nor a frown and asked, “Are you inviting me to stay over at your place?”

Ye Youyou shook her head vehemently when she heard that. “No!”

Li Jinnan buckled his seatbelt again and drove off without another word. The moment he hit the main road, he asked, “Which direction do I go?”

“Why don’t you return to the hotel? I can make my way back on my own…” Ye Youyou felt uneasy.

Her body began to feel clammy. It was a very uncomfortable sensation. Even though the heater in the car was switched on, Ye Youyou was still feeling chilly. She had been scared out of her wits by this guy.

Li Jinnan did not acknowledge her statement. He looked to the left and to the right before asking, “It’s to the left, am I right?”

“Yeah…” It was only after Ye Youyou had replied that she regained her senses and clasped her hands together nervously. “GM Li…”

“I’m taking you back,” Li Jinnan spoke up and gave her a casual glance. “I do not stay over in homes of unfamiliar people.”

Ye Youyou let out a sigh of relief when she heard that and calmed down. Soon, they reached Ye Youyou’s home. Li Jinnan opened the car door and opened an umbrella. He opened the front passenger seat and covered her with the umbrella.

Ye Youyou stepped out of the car gingerly and looked down at her drenched clothing. The outline of her brassiere could be seen through her pink dress. The material of her clothing was thin and revealed almost as much as it covered.

Instinctively, she tightened the outer jacket around her body and wrapped her arms around her herself as she walked over to Li Jinnan.

Li Jinnan had been a soldier. On a normal day, Ye Youyou had never really realized it. In that moment when he stood beside her, the awe-inspiring disposition that emanated from within him gave her pause and made her feel strangely nervous.

After she entered her passcode and opened the door, she released her hair from its ponytail and asked, “GM Li, what would you like to drink?”

Li Jinnan did not behave like a guest at all. He walked straight in and sat on her couch. He put both hands on his head and began massaging his temples. In a tone that didn’t permit any dispute, he replied, “I don’t need anything. Go ahead and take your shower.”

Ye Youyou stiffened. Does this mean that he has no intention of leaving?

Li Jinnan felt her weird gaze on him. He looked up and raised his eyebrows. “Do you know how to bathe? Do you need help with that?”

Embarrassment filled Ye Youyou. She felt her face heat up. Quickly, she walked into her room and locked the door.
