The 99th Divorce

Shen Manting suddenly stopped struggling. She was panting heavily and glaring at him.

Shen Luo’an didn’t let her go. He simply stared into her eyes without saying a word.

It took a while for Shen Manting to finally say, “You can’t satisfy me, Shen Luo’an.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Luo’an narrowed his eyes as his hands moved up her body along her waistline.

His hands glided over her slowly and tenderly.

Shen Manting felt a strange sensation. She shuddered.

Her body stiffened.

Shen Luo’an could feel her reaction. His hands kept wandering over her body as he whispered, “Is this how you want it?”

Shen Manting felt conflicted inside. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side as she tried to push him away.

But instead of letting her go, Shen Luo’an lifted her up.

Shen Manting let out a gasp. In the blink of an eye, she was already pressed onto the bed.

Shen Manting was overwhelmed by a familiar yet strange feeling. She panicked and shouted, “Shen Luo’an, let go of me now!”

She flailed her arms and legs about and struggled against him with all the strength she could muster. Her eyes turned red and she was becoming hysterical.

She was scared out of her wits.

Shen Luo’an noticed her fear and immediately released his grip.

Shen Manting quickly rolled down the bed and stumbled away.

She glared at Shen Luo’an with bloodshot eyes, panting heavily.

In a flash, she flung the door open and ran outside.

Shen Luo’an turned around to look at the door. He suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration, followed by irrepressible rage.

He picked up the contract, tore it into pieces, and flung the shreds into the garbage bin.

The shreds of paper hit the edge of the garbage bin and landed on the floor, scattered.

Mrs. Shen was cradling the infant outside. She was concerned when she heard the violent commotion inside the room.

Soon, she saw Shen Manting running out in a panic.

Something looks wrong.

“Manting…”

Shen Manting didn’t stop to respond at all. She simply bolted out of the door like a startled deer.

Mrs. Shen was taken aback. Just as she was about to enter the room, the baby burst into tears, as if sensing something wrong about the situation.

She entered Shen Luo’an’s room while coaxing the child.

She noticed his ominously grim expression at a glance.

“What’s the matter?” Mrs. Shen asked, worried. “Did you argue with Manting?”

Shen Luo’an sighed heavily when he saw his mother.

He sat on the bed and buried his face in his hands, letting out a helpless and despairing sigh. “Mother, what should I do to make her stay?”

Mrs. Shen sighed softly.

The infant in her arms kept crying restlessly. Shen Luo’an was getting increasingly agitated. He reached out for the baby and demanded, “Pass him to me.”

Mrs. Shen didn’t relent and turned around to shield the infant. “You’ve frightened the child. Don’t even think of hitting him.”

“When have I ever hit the child?” Shen Luo’an became even more upset. “I’m not that ill-tempered.”

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, “You do know you have an awful temper, right? Whose temper is worse than yours in this family?”

“Grandma has quite a temper.”

“Grandma has lived a free life. She naturally has a temper.”

“Manting’s temper is worse.”

“She was provoked by you. I’m all too familiar with your bad temper and unreasonable moods.” Mrs. Shen chided, still holding the infant in her arms. “Didn’t you ask me what should you do to make her stay?”

“So?”

“Give her no reason to leave in order to convince her to stay!”

Shen Luo’an was speechless.

Isn’t that nonsense?

But his main concern was this: how to prevent her from leaving?
