After that, it was as if Yu Lili’s luck had decided to change. She just wouldn’t stop winning. At the end of the game, the other ladies were all out of energy and luck.

“I’m not playing anymore!” Qiao Meng pushed the tiles away in annoyance.

“I guess luck is really something not to be given away,” Jiao Ziqing said. “Look, the moment you gave Yu Lili a chance, your luck changed for the worse.”

Yu Lili felt bad about losing, but she didn’t feel good winning either. When she heard that, she said, “I only won because of good luck, but my skills are nowhere near yours.”

“What skills are there to speak of?” Jiao Ziqing said. “This game is all about luck!”

“Forget it. It’s getting late. I’m going to go home and pretend that I’m preparing dinner. You all can continue without me,” Zhuang Yunhua said before taking her leave.

Following that, the others began to leave one after the other.

Jiao Ziqing sighed and commented, “You blame it on luck every time you lose. It’s clearly a case of a lack of skills!”

Her statement stirred up the ire of everyone else present.

Yu Lili couldn’t hold back her smile.

Jiao Ziqing’s face was full of smug satisfaction as she announced, “We’ll play again next time. We’re heading home, too. Bye!”

They left quickly. Yu Lili followed Jiao Ziqing to the car park. On her way, she realized that she had forgotten the car keys. They were probably left in the room upstairs.

Jiao Ziqing had already walked a far distance ahead in her stiletto shoes. Yu Lili wanted to call out to her, but no words came out. What was she to address her as? Auntie? Mom?

Yu Lili quickened her pace and neared the distance. She ventured, “Well…”

Jiao Ziqing continued ahead and didn’t stop.

Yu Lili tried again. “Well… Auntie, I forgot to grab the car keys…” Her voice was clear and reverberated around the empty car park.

Still, Jiao Ziqing’s step didn’t slow. It was as if she hadn’t heard her at all.

Yu Lili was sure that her voice had been loud enough. How was it possible that Jiao Ziqing hadn’t heard her?

Could it be that Ou Ming’s mother can’t recognize my voice?

That thought made Yu Lili feel unsettled. She chased up and called out again, “Well…”

Jiao Ziqing suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Yu Lili. She asked, “Whom were you speaking to this whole way?”

Yu Lili was stunned and replied, “You!”

“Me? Are you sure?” Jiao Ziqing looked sullen.

Yu Lili started to feel exasperated as she wrecked her head wondering what she had done to offend this female despot again.

Jiao Ziqing betrayed a hint of annoyance as she asked, “What did you call me?”

The surprise hit Yu Lili even harder. In a small voice, she ventured, “Mom…”

“What now?” Jiao Ziqing was brimming with impatience. “Speak louder!”

Jiao Ziqing’s tone was fierce, but Yu Lili’s heart was soaring with happiness. Her face broke out in a grin as she said, “The car keys are upstairs. I forgot to grab them.”

Jiao Ziqing harrumphed and replied, “Kingdom would have come by the time I waited for you to remember!” With that, she tossed the keys over. “You’ll drive!”

Yu Lili caught the keys. They were indeed the car keys.

Once Jiao Ziqing had tossed the keys, she turned to get into the car. The image of her back was beautiful. She looked elegant and aloof.

Yu Lili was so elated she could feel the emotion lifting her up. Excitement filled her. She happily called out to Jiao Ziqing’s back, “I’m coming!”

Many times, a person’s mood could hinge on a minute incident. But, this supposedly minute incident wasn’t minute to Yu Lili at all.

After preparing and partaking in dinner, Yu Lili helped Nanny Zhang with the dishes. She was looking forward to returning to her room the entire time.

When she was finally alone with Ou Ming, she pounced on him excitedly and yelled out, “Ou Ming!”

Despair Is The Greatest Sorrow

Ou Ming was puzzled at the sudden embrace.

But it was so rare to witness Yu Lili in such a good mood that Ou Ming was cheered up as well despite not knowing the reason. His face broke out in a smile.

Holding the petite woman in his arms, he asked gently, “What happened? Why are you so happy?”

Hearing this man’s voice made Yu Lili feel she was the luckiest woman in the world.

She tightened her arms around Ou Ming, and was practically bouncing with excitement as she said, “Ou Ming, let’s buy a lottery ticket. We’re sure to win the jackpot today!”

Ou Ming’s smile deepened and he loosened his hold on her. He asked, “What on earth happened?”

Yu Lili’s smile was radiant and so very contagious. “Mom took me along to meet her friends today,” she replied.

Ou Ming’s smile deepened even further when he heard that. His eyes were luminous and full of emotion, “So soon? How did that go?”

“In the beginning it was a little awkward. But later on, I played mahjong with a few of her friends, and I won many rounds for Mom!” Yu Lili spoke as if she were unveiling a great treasure. She sounded so satisfied with herself, and Ou Ming could tell she was fishing for praise as well.

Ou Ming also realized that when Yu Lili spoke of Jiao Ziqing, she no longer sounded as repulsed as before.

Just earlier in the morning, Yu Lili had still referred to Jiao Ziqing as ‘your mom’. Now, it was just ‘Mom’ at every turn.

This small change was a very good beginning.

Ou Ming patted her head with his large hands, and chuckled as he said, “Mom was in a really good mood today as well. And it’s only the first day today! How awesome.”

Yu Lili’s heart felt even more settled with that affirmation. She spread her arms wide and wrapped them around Ou Ming’s waist, and in a coquettish tone, asked, “It’s barely eight now. Shall we go for a movie?”

“You’re in that good a mood?” Ou Ming’s smile widened and he nodded his head. With a pat on her bum, he said, “Alright. Let’s go.”

“Yeah!” Yu Lili release him and headed inside the room.

Ou Ming witnessed her celebratory mood, but his smile slowly ebbed offf.

They were now newlyweds, and Jiao Ziqing had begun to accept Yu Lili.

But if she ever found out that there was a high chance that Yu Lili might never conceive…

This was a time bomb waiting to go off indeed, and it weighed heavily on Ou Ming’s mind.

He had to quietly find an opportunity to take Yu Lili for a proper checkup.

–

Ye Youyou had been lying in the hospital for many days. As expected, other than on the second day of her hospitalization, Shen Luo’an never appeared.

He didn’t even call.

Despair was indeed the greatest sorrow.

Ye Qianqian revolved around Ye Youyou daily. Occasionally, she took a walk outside on her own, but she still spent most of her time in the hospital.

At that moment, Ye Qianqian was seated at the side reading comics. She looked completely immersed in the story.

Ye Youyou could tell that Ye Qianqian was feeling bored beyond description, and felt a little guilty about it. She called out, “Sis.”

Ye Qianqian looked up suddenly, and her first reaction was to ask, “Huh? Do you want some water?”

Ye Youyou shook her head. “You should go back to work. My injuries aren’t that serious. I’ll be able to be discharged in a few days’ time.”

Ye Qianqian was momentarily stunned, and at a loss of how to reply, “Ahh…?” Before she could word her reply, she was interrupted by a male voice.

“No way,” The voice was crisp and steady. “If you leave the hospital now, how do you think the media will spin it?”
