The 99th Divorce Chapter 1099 - Even if we have to leave each other, we’ll live.

His tone was tinged with a hint of grievance as if he were a spoiled child. When Yu Lili heard that, she turned her head toward him in surprise.

She was met with Ou Ming’s intense stare. His eyes were deep, bright, and s.h.i.+mmering. They were so beautiful that Yu Lili could get lost in them.

Ou Ming buried his face further into her neck and complained, “My legs are sore. Ma.s.sage them for me.”

“How did they get stolen?”

“I don’t know. I put them in the pocket of my trench coat. I only found out that they were missing when I wanted to give you a call.” Ou Ming’s voice rumbled. “It’s a good thing that I have a good memory. I remembered that you live here and walked for over 20 minutes. I didn’t expect to arrive earlier than you.”

Yu Lili was about to speak when Ou Ming pulled her hand and put it on his upper thigh. In the voice of a little kid, he whined, “They’re sore.”

Yu Lili’s temper abated. She pulled her hand back and rolled her eyes at him. Then she led him into the room.

Yu Lili closed the door and walked in. She shook her hands to loosen the muscles and ordered Ou Ming, “Lie down. I’ll ma.s.sage them for you.”

“Alright!” A grin escaped Ou Ming’s lips. He pulled Yu Lili’s pillow over after he removed his suit and jacket; then he lay down.

Yu Lili removed her outer coat as well; then she helped him remove his socks and started ma.s.saging his legs.

Ou Ming was initially exaggerating his actions to earn some pity from Yu Lili, but it turned out that Yu Lili gave a good ma.s.sage after all.

“That feels nice.” Ou Ming closed his eyes and faced her.

Yu Lili’s head was bowed, and her face looked undeniably serious.

Her brows were creased in concentration, and her lips were pursed tightly. The warm light in the room shone on her gently made-up face, highlighting her beauty and serenity.

She was so beautiful. This Yu Lili looked even more beautiful than before.

Yu Lili felt his eyes on her. She raised her eyes to look at him then bent down again. She continued the ma.s.sage as she said, “I worked in a ma.s.sage parlor before when I was in the capital.”

Ou Ming wasn’t aware of that, and he queried in astonishment, “Then why did you stop?”

“The business at the ma.s.sage parlor wasn’t good, so it closed down. That’s when I went to be an accountant.” As she spoke, she crossed her legs and proceeded to ma.s.sage Ou Ming’s s.h.i.+ns.

Ou Ming could tell that she’d had a hard time just from hearing the story, and his heart ached for her. He reached his hands out and held her hands in his, and her actions slowed to a stop.

She looked up and saw the concern in Ou Ming’s face.

Ou Ming pulled her forward until she was half leaning on his chest. He embraced her and said, “In future, you’ll just stay at home and draw.”

“I’m doing nothing but drawing now too.” Yu Lili placed both hands on his chest and rose her eyes to meet his. “My life now is a lot better than before.”

Even without you, I’ll still live. Even without you, I’ll still live a good life. There is nothing I can’t face. Even if we have to leave each other, we’ll live.

Ou Ming looked at her protectively and stroked her hair gently.

Yu Lili’s hair grew very quickly; it was now down to her neck. Her bangs were also brus.h.i.+ng against her brows, making her face look really small and slim.

“It’ll be even better in the future, I promise.”

The corners of Yu Lili’s mouth rose when she heard that. She surged her body forward and dipped her head down to kiss him on his lips.

Ou Ming tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her even closer into his body. He lifted his other hand and cupped her head, locking her in his kiss. He turned and rolled on top of her, and opening her mouth with practiced ease, his tongue tangled with hers.
