The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098: My Cell Phone and Wallet Were Stolen

This was the worst New Year’s Eve that Yu Lili had ever experienced. In all her 25 years, Yu Lili had never felt this low during the New Year’s period.

After she was led away by Ou Ming, the both of them headed outside immediately.

The crowd outside was huge and noisy. The cold wind blew over, and Yu Lili shivered.

Ou Ming pulled her close into his arms, and asked, “Are you cold?”

Yu Lili struggled and pushed him off. With her head bowed, she walked ahead.

Ou Ming stretched out his arm in an effort to catch her, but Yu Lili’s steps were quick, and she was soon swallowed up in the sea of people.

“Yu Lili!” Ou Ming yelled, but Yu Lili didn’t even bother to turn around as she forced her way through the throng.

Ou Ming pushed aside the horde and tried to catch up. He kept his eyes riveted on the Yu Lili’s back, afraid to lose her in the crowd. But Yu Lili’s steps quickened, and she was soon out on the road. With giant strides, she joined the line of people waiting to enter the metro station.

Ou Ming panicked when he saw that and hollered over, “Yu Lili! Stop where you are!”

But there were too many people, and it was noisy. Ou Ming’s voice was drowned out by the cacophony and had no effect whatsoever.

Ou Ming followed in line too, and he tried to keep as close a chase as he could. He watched as Yu Lili made her way to the entrance of the metro station, and retrieve a metro card he didn’t know she had. She was soon inside.

Ou Ming saw the situation unfold and felt nervous. “Yu Lili!” He yelled out.

But no reaction came from Yu Lili at all. It was almost as if she hadn’t heard him. He looked on as Yu Lili disappeared down the escalator, and he let out a sigh.

He reached into his pocket, intending to retrieve his cell phone and give Yu Lili a call, but no matter how much he searched, his pocket was empty.

It wasn’t just his cell phone. Even his black leather wallet that had been in there was gone without a trace.

Looking at the multitude in front of him, Ou Ming let out a huge

sigh.

…

A little past eight o’clock in the evening on New Year’s Eve was when the metro was at its busiest.

When the train arrived, before Yu Lili could move a muscle, she

had already been pushed on board by the crowd. When the train reached the next

station, Yu Lili couldn’t make out any of the announcements either. She was

simply squeezed out of the train.

This wasn’t her intended stop at all!

As she watched helplessly at the doors of the train close once more and leave the platform, she felt a huge weight on her chest.

She opened her handbag and took her cell phone out.

There weren’t any missed calls. There wasn’t even a text message.

B*stard…

He didn’t even call her?

The memory of how he looked when he asked her to apologize made Yu Lili’s heart bleed anew.

Another two trains came, but there wasn’t enough space for Yu Lili to squeeze in. She finally made it into the third train, and it was past nine when she finally reached home.

A lone and long figure stood at her entrance, dressed in a dark suit and a black trench coat.

When he saw Yu Lili walk over, he straightened up a little and asked, “Why are you only back now? Where did you go?”

Yu Lili looked at him and just wanted to ignore him. She took her keys out and unlocked the door. Ou Ming watched as Yu Lili opened the door. Just as she was about to slam it shut, he blocked it with his hands and stepped in.

Honestly, all Yu Lili intended to do was to throw a little tantrum. So when she saw that she couldn’t stop him, she continued to ignore him anyway and allowed him in as she turned to head to her room.

Ou Ming removed his trench coat and hugged her from the back. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and explained, “My cell phone and wallet were stolen just now at the metro station. I walked over.”
