The 99th Divorce Chapter 1426 - I’m On Heat

At this hour, he was probably still with Guan Queye. Or, perhaps he was just getting out of Shen Manting’s bed.

As for her, his official wife, he couldn’t give a d.a.m.n. At that thought, Ye Youyou suddenly recalled Shen Luo’an’s reaction at being cuckolded. He had acted like a raving lunatic—the sort that needed to be admitted to a mental inst.i.tution.

She wondered, What would his reaction be if he found that I have slept with Li Jinnan twice now? Would he kill me? Or, perhaps he’d grant me a divorce.

As her thoughts progressed, Ye Youyou suddenly realized that she was reveling in a certain sense of satisfaction at having taken revenge. She surprised herself when she came to that realization.

She tried hard to rein in her thoughts. At the same time, the feeling was an indescribable sense of comfort. The sensation was foreign and welcoming. Who knew that being a “bad woman” could be so liberating?

“What are you thinking of?” a low and magnetic voice rumbled like thunder from above her head and reached her ears.

Ye Youyou snapped out of her thoughts and looked up automatically, only to stare right into Li Jinnan’s dark and bottomless eyes. She felt as if her eyes had suddenly been opened. That sensation gave her pause.

She quickly looked away and shook her head. “Nothing.”

How could it be nothing?

She hadn’t made a sound. Furthermore, his hand was almost embracing her, and she hadn’t seemed to realize it. She had been completely lost in her thoughts.

Li Jinnan didn’t expose her lie. He lowered his arm and held her hand. “What would you like to eat?” he asked.

Ye Youyou instinctively put up a struggle for a moment. When she heard the question, she was surprised and looked at him with doubt in her eyes. “Are you sure you can stomach it?”

Li Jinnan cast a sidelong glance at her and nodded his head, “Yes.” In truth, he wasn’t used to the Northern cuisine.

However, Ye Youyou believed him. She was a local in the Capital through and through, and she didn’t live far from the area. Naturally, she knew where the good food was and commented, “Let’s go, then. I’ll take you somewhere. Have you tried fermented soymilk before?”

The sourness of fermented soymilk wasn’t something that everyone could enjoy. The thought of Li Jinnan’s possible reaction upon tasting fermented soymilk strangely made Ye Youyou feel a sense of satisfaction.

Li Jinnan didn’t bother with etiquette and rejected her immediately. “I’m not having that.”

“Didn’t you say you were fine with our cuisine?” Ye Youyou contemptuously asked.

She waved her hand, intending to fling his hand off. But, Li Jinnan’s grip was firm. She couldn’t shake him off at all.

Li Jinnan narrowed his eyes at her and said, “Fermented soymilk is something that the locals can’t even get used to. Stop trying to fool me.”

Ye Youyou had no retort except, “Will you let go of my hand?”

“The weather is cold. Warm my hands.” Li Jinnan’s expression didn’t change as he tightened his grip on her hand.

“It’s spring now,” she replied. “You can practically feel the heat!”

“Indeed, I’m on heat,” he said.

Ye Youyou was rendered speechless. It was the first time that she was finding this man hard to deal with.

She struggled a little more. Seeing that it remained ineffective, she gave up altogether.

Ye Youyou was feeling a little uneasy. They were close to her home. If a neighbor caught sight of them, things would get awkward.

She was wary. She turned to ask, “Let’s buy takeout and eat at my place, shall we?”

Li Jinnan was surprised at her invitation, but kept a straight-face as he nodded his head. “Sure.”

Ye Youyou finally gave a sigh of relief. She picked a random breakfast café and ordered some food before rus.h.i.+ng back to her home with quickened steps.

As she stepped into the lift, of course, she met her neighbor. And, it was the most gossipy, loudmouthed one of them all…
