The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1655: I've Survived Gun Wounds

It wasn't just Lawyer Ye who held that opinion. Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou both thought so too.

To everyone's surprise, the moment Li Jinnan spoke his words aloud, Ye Tian suddenly raised her head and dashed over toward them.

Ye Tian actions were exceeding forceful. Li Jinnan narrowed his eyes at her.

He pushed Ye Youyou to safety behind him and watched as Ye Tian charged aggressively toward him. He made no move to avoid her.

Ye Youyou yelped in surprise. Without sufficient time to dodge, she witnessed Ye Tian's body crashing violently against Li Jinnan's.

Li Jinnan's body bore the full brunt of that blow. He was pushed back imperceptibly but immediately regained his footing and steadied himself.

Ye Youyou only felt a small and minute nudge that was almost indiscernible.

However, Ye Tian howled as she fell to the ground in tears.

Ye Youyou glanced instinctively at Ye Tian on the floor, only to see her wailing desperately and pounding her chest as she sat on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Ye Youyou asked Li Jinnan in genuine concern as she stroked the area that Ye Tian had crashed into. Her tone sounded urgent.

Li Jinnan stood upright and steady. He caught her hand in his and replied, "I'm fine."

Fine?

Yeah right!

Ye Youyou glanced at his hand. The portion that had received the most of the blow had turned red. A large chunk of his skin had been chafed raw by something.

Ye Youyou's voice carried a hint of panicky tears as she exclaimed, "Why didn't you move out of the way? Does it hurt?"

"I'm fine." Li Jinnan felt a little helpless. He patted her reassuringly and replied, "If I had moved away, wouldn't she have rammed into you and our child?"

This was his first child, so he wasn't going to allow anything untoward to happen to it.

He was also relying on the existence of this child to get his family to accept the child's mother.

When Ye Youyou heard his words, she was moved to tears.

She began to cry noisily as her tears mingled with the mucus on her face.

Li Jinnan held her tightly in his arms and murmured, "Were you frightened?"

Ye Youyou's cries grew even more intense as her tears were soaked up by his chest.

"Come on. Let's go." Li Jinnan held her close as he took a step forward. He turned his head to glance at Lawyer Ye and said, "Take care of this. Be careful."

"I will, Mr. Li."

Upon exiting the room with Ye Youyou, Li Jinnan was about to suggest another restaurant to have lunch at when Ye Youyou held him back.

With her heart aching, Ye Youyou said, "Let's get this treated in the hospital. Look, you're bleeding."

Li Jinnan glanced at her and offhandedly ripped the dangling skin off. He replied, "It doesn't hurt. When I was in the army, such a small wound was considered nothing. I've survived gun wounds before."

Ye Youyou was terrified when she heard that. She looked at him and pursed her lips as huge droplets of tears rolled down her face. "You're just saying that to scare me!"

Li Jinnan quickly waved his hands and hurried to agree with her. "You're right! You're right! I'm just scaring you. Come on, stop crying. I'm hungry. Shall we go for lunch?"

Ye Youyou looked at his wound and nodded her head. Since it was just a bit of broken skin, it was minor enough not to require immediate attention.

After lunch, they made their way home, but not before Ye Youyou dragged him to the nearby pharmacy to get his wound dressed.

It was afternoon by the time they were done with that. It was a little too late for Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou to take a nap. They packed their luggage and headed straight for the airport.

The flight from the Capital to Kingstown took a little more than two hours. By the time they landed, it was evening.

Ye Youyou had thrown up during the entire journey. She was physically exhausted.

When it was time to disembark, Li Jinnan had to carry her on his back. Since they hadn't notified anyone of their return, there was no car to pick them up from the airport. However, along the way, they met someone unexpected.
