Chapter 1428: 1428

Awkward…

Ye Youyou could feel her face burning up . She slammed the breakfast plate on the table as she said, “You dare to bring that up? It was all your fault! A stranger pulled you into her home, and you just followed?”

“Isn’t she your neighbor?” Li Jinnan asked in confusion .

Ye Youyou choked on her words, but quickly regained her composure and said, “Yes! But, isn’t she a stranger to you?”

Li Jinnan nodded his head . “I thought you were pretty close to her . ”

Ye Youyou was speechless again . She was indeed pretty close to the woman .

But, what does that have to do with him?

Ye Youyou harrumphed in mounting annoyance . “Do you just follow anyone who pulls you along? Aren’t you being too careless?”

Li Jinnan raised his eyebrows when he heard that . He leisurely replied, “Don’t worry . It’ll only happen once . I won’t do it again in the future . ”

Ye Youyou paused in the action of opening the food packets . Her heartbeat sped up .

Why does his wording make it sound like it is a promise that a husband is making to a wife?

His tone had carried a hint of helplessness mixed with indulgence . Ye Youyou couldn’t help but be moved . At the same time, an ache appeared deep inside her heart .

Once upon a time, dreams she had harbored for her married life with Shen Luo’an included such a scenario . However…

“I don’t care whether you do it or not!” Ye Youyou suppressed the emotions in her heart . “Just leave after you’re done eating, GM Li . ”

Li Jinnan washed his hand and sat down . “OK . Let’s go back together in the afternoon . There’s still a big pile of work waiting . ”

Ye Youyou looked up and gazed at Li Jinnan as she said, “I won’t be going back . You can go back on your own . I applied for leave . ”

“For how long?” he asked .

“Five days . ” After a pause, Ye Youyou bent her head and lowered her volume, “Today is the second day . ”

Five days . She had initially thought that if Guan Queye explained everything and proved her innocence, perhaps she could enjoy a few days with Shen Luo’an . However, never in her wildest dreams did Ye Youyou expect that her naïve dreams would be shattered so thoroughly .

Li Jinnan didn’t seemed not to notice the small change in her demeanor and said, “Let’s go back together . There’s nothing for you to do in the Capital anyway . Why don’t you come back to Kingstown?”

After he said that, he immediately thought of something else . He stopped eating his breakfast and looked up to face Ye Youyou without saying a word .

Ye Youyou was discomposed by Li Jinnan looking at her so suddenly . She shook her head, “No, you can go back without me . This is my hometown . I would like to spend a few more days here . ”

“Five days . Did you come back to process your divorce?” Li Jinnan’s voice carried an air of confidence . “What happened yesterday?”

It had been raining so heavily, and she had been crouching on the floor to cry . It had indeed been a sorry sight . Something must have happened . Ye Youyou would never have acted that way .

“Nothing . ” Ye Youyou lowered her head to take a sip of her thick and tasty soy milk in an effort to avoid the question .

“So, when are you going to divorce him?” Li Jinnan doggedly asked .

At that moment, Ye Youyou found her soymilk tasteless . She placed her glass down and wiped her lips before asking, “Do you really like me, GM Li? Do you like me so much that you’re willing to overlook the fact that I’ve been married before? Or, are you so insistent on being with me solely because I gave my first time to you?”

When Li Jinnan heard Ye Youyou’s word, his brows shot together .

“If it’s for the second reason, you really don’t have to do that,” she said . “Given today’s technology, that can easily be resolved . It’s nothing more than a membrane anyway . I can always reattach one surgically . ”
