The 99th Divorce

Luo Zhan was speechless. I am not continuing this conversation!

When Ou Ming heard the call abruptly cut off, he felt a perverse sense of satisfaction. Following that, he made many calls to his other friends. He was elated to the point of being invigorated.

Upon reaching home, Yu Lili couldn’t take it anymore. She tumbled right onto the bed and fell asleep.

Ou Ming wrapped her in his arms without changing out of his clothes. A smile was on his face. He was in an excellent mood.

By the time they woke up, one whole day had passed. Yu Lili awoke with a dizzy and heavy head. When she got out of bed, Ou Ming was no longer by her side.

“Ou Ming,” Yu Lili called out, but there was no response.

She slipped her feet into a pair of slippers. When she opened the bedroom door, she heard a commotion coming from outside. Once downstairs, she found Ou Ming busy as a bee in the kitchen.

She approached him to take a look. She laughed in astonishment as she asked, “Are you really cooking?”

Ou Ming heard momentarily losing his focus. He burned his fingers and quickly put them to his earlobes. He chuckled sheepishly and replied, “I’m boiling soup. It’s really simple. I just have to boil the soup and add salt at the end.”

“Have you added the salt yet?” she asked.

“No. I’m afraid of adding too much. You’re better than me at this. Why don’t you do it?” Ou Ming waved her over. He put the spoon in his hand down and picked up the jar of salt.

Yu Lili dragged her feet over. She washed her hands and added the seasonings to the soup. “Is there parsley?”

“No.” Realization suddenly hit Ou Ming. “Now I know! I kept feeling that I left something out when I went grocery shopping. Now I know that it was parsley. I’ll buy it now.”

“It’s fine. It can be drunk all the same.” Yu Lili took a bowl and scooped some soup into it. She took a sip and exclaimed in surprise, “It’s quite tasty! Why don’t you try some?”

“Really?” Ou Ming was very pleased with himself. “It’s my first time cooking soup!” With that, he took a spoonful and frowned. “Are you serious?”

It tasted of nothing but hot water. There was no flavor in it at all. It was barely palatable.

Yu Lili saw is reaction and said, “It’s not too bad. It’s a lot better than the soup that I made the first time.”

“Really?” Ou Ming was pleased to hear that. “Indeed, I’m gifted in everything that I do. When I become a father, I’ll definitely be a good father too.” Making that statement cheered him up. He continued, “Say, do you think it will be five sons or five daughters?”

Yu Lili almost choked. She elbowed him and burst out laughing, “Get lost!”

“I think three daughters and two sons will be better.” Ou Ming’s face looked serious as he spoke. “If that’s the case, our family will have three princesses and two knights.”

“Why aren’t they princes?” she asked.

“A prince is a princess’ partner,” Ou Ming said. “They’re not easy to handle.”

Yu Lili couldn’t resist smiling. She looked up at his sparkling eyes and put the bowl in her hand down. She hugged him tightly and said, “Thank you, Ou Ming.”

The gentle look on Ou Ming’s face intensified. He put his arms around her and hugged her back. “Are you thanking me for giving you such a dashing husband?”

“Damn! You’re shameless!” Yu Lili smacked him with a smile on her face. “I thought that I would never be able to conceive again. Ever since the twins…”

“Let’s not mention that again.” Ou Ming silenced her with a finger on her lips. “Our quintuplets will get angry.”

Yu Lili was speechless.

“What expression is that? The quintuplets will really get angry!” Ou Ming smiled brightly. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. “Don’t think about all the unhappiness in the past anymore. Those two children were not fated to be ours. We will have even more children in the future.”
