The 99th Divorce

From the way everyone addressed Li Jinnan as “Third Brother,” it was obvious they all respected him very much.

Ye Youyou looked in Li Jinnan’s direction subconsciously. She found that he was surrounded by a group of men and engaged in a conversation. There was almost a smile on his face, and his features were warm and inviting.

The woman noticed her expression. With a laugh, she quietly asked, “What’s your relationship with Third Brother? This is the first time Third Brother has brought a woman over. Are you his girlfriend?”

Ye Youyou shook her head, “No. He’s my boss.”

“I see…” The girl looked at her conspiratorially and asked, “Are you out for business together?”

“No…”

“That means you’re out together for leisure?” a girl at the side interrupted. Her eyes looked teasingly at Ye Youyou.

Ye Youyou shook her head again. Before she could explain herself again, she was pushed by someone else who said, “Stop indulging in gossip! If Third Brother finds out about this, he’s going to be unhappy. If they’re here to relax, we’ll make sure they have a good time! Come on, Miss, let’s get moving!”

Ye Youyou had always been well behaved. That push made her a little defiant.

But, the girls at the scene were very friendly and pleasant. They also possessed a sense of humor. Soon, Ye Youyou found herself opening up to them and dancing together.

For afar, Li Jinnan saw the smile on Ye Youyou’s face. A sense of relief finally settled on him.

A comrade beside him noticed his gaze and laughed knowingly. He said, “Have you set your eyes on her? She looks pretty good and has a nice disposition. She looks like a very proper lady. I see now that that’s your taste!”

Li Jinnan chuckled lightly, neither admitting to nor denying the statement. With a crystal glass in his hand, he gently swirled the whiskey within and looked away.

These were all comrades that had trained in the army with Li Jinnan. They knew him like the back of their hands. Based on his demeanor, they all knew what he really felt.

With a laugh, someone remarked, “Third Brother, it’s been a long time since you last came. We’ve recently invented some new games. Let’s have some fun.”

Li Jinnan saw through their scheme right away. With a guffaw, he said, “Truth or Dare does not suit me.”

Regardless of whether it was revealing a sordid truth or taking part in a meaningless dare, he had no interest in engaging in either.

“Don’t be a party pooper! We’re all brothers here! It’s for your good. You’ll know that in a moment.” With that, the guy didn’t bother waiting for Li Jinnan’s agreement before clapping his hands and announcing, “Stop the Truth or Dare for a moment! Let’s play something a little more exciting. Come on, Guys! Bring the fellas out!”

The crowd went up in cheers. Someone produced a few balloons.

Wu Ren put out his cigarette and said, “Come on, Third Brother. Let me explain the rules to you. This is a game of Pass the Balloon with Your Chest. You’re not to let the balloon burst or drop. If it does, you’ve lost.”

“What happens if you lose?” someone asked.

People around began hooting and announced together, “That’s easy. You’ll just have to drink.”

“One glass for a man, half a glass for a woman. Come on, come on, Everybody. Get in line.” Wu Ren clapped his hands and called out, “Wifey, come here!”

A girl that was dancing with Ye Youyou immediately replied, “Coming!”

Ye Youyou was a little surprised that they were a married couple. Before she could get over her surprise, she found herself being dragging along.

Wu Ren opened a bottle of whiskey and declared, “Come on! Bottoms up!”

Whiskey was a drink with an extremely high alcohol content. The forfeit for this game is to drink this?

Ye Youyou wasn’t the only one who was apprehensive. Even Li Jinnan frowned in disapproval and asked, “The stakes are this high? There are so many women here.”

Wu Ren smiled so hard at Li Jinnan that his eyes became two crescents.
