After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 18

There were two photos.

One was taken on a basketball court. In the photo, a girl was pulling Yu Sheng's arm. Only the girl's slender back could be seen clearly, while Yu Sheng's unrestrained young face was crystal clear.

The other was taken indoors with elegant decor. Likewise, only the woman's back in a silver-white formal dress could be seen in the photo. She was standing against the light while Yu Sheng lowered his head before her, his eyes deep and hot.

The two photos were a sharp contrast, depicting a woman's transition from green youth to elegant maturity.

The caption contained only a few words: Seven years, Madam Yu has finally grown up.

It was posted a few minutes ago, and the comment section had already exploded.

There were all kinds of envy and blessings, as well as questions asking if she would reveal their marriage instead of keeping it a secret.

Lu Yanming's gaze grew increasingly profound. Two seconds later, he smiled lightly and said, "Madam Yu?"

Wang Peng was busy gossiping and didn't notice anything wrong with his expression. "Chairman Yu rarely posts on his feed. To think he would post a photo of his wife today, it seems the couple has made great progress in their relationship these past two days."

Lu Yanming shifted his gaze from Wang Peng's phone.

Wang Peng was also about to leave a comment. As he typed, he said, "Although only her back is shown, judging by her height and temperament, they make a good pair, a talent and a beauty. Seven years? Their love runs deep."

After posting the comment, Wang Peng laughed and said, "Chairman Yu is always busy working overtime and neglecting his wife. If he doesn't work overtime tonight, maybe the couple can finally start making babies."

"Stop the car..." Lu Yanming's voice grew slightly deeper.

Fei Zhao smoothly parked the car at the roadside.

Lu Yanming: "Mr. Wang, I suddenly remembered I have something to do tonight, so I won't be having dinner with you after all."

Wang Peng: "Ah... Okay."

Wang Peng got out of the car and stood by the roadside, completely confused.

Why did he suddenly have plans?

Wait...

They were on an overpass.

How was he going to get a taxi?

Wang Peng hurriedly called his assistant, "Hello, hello, come pick me up... Where am I? Let me check..."

The two in the car didn't feel it was wrong at all to abandon Wang Peng on the overpass. Seeing they would no longer dine with Wang Peng, Fei Zhao glanced at Lu Yanming through the rearview mirror: "Young Master, to your residence?"

Lu Yanming looked out the window. "Find out where Yu Sheng went tonight."

As dusk fell, the streetlamps lit up one by one, and Jincheng's extravagant nightlife seemed to just begin.

-

Jincheng had only just become a first-tier city in recent years. Its development was mainly concentrated in the south, with finance and the internet pushing the GDP of the South High-tech Zone to the highest in the city, securing its leading status.

The villas in the South were mostly inhabited by the nouveau riche.

The old way of life with its teahouses and mahjong was mostly in the West. The deep-rooted old money families like the Li and Song families also lived in the West.

Yu Sheng drove from the South to the West to get to the Song residence, a journey of nearly an hour.

Li Zhen knew some divorced couples still treated their ex's parents well, but she didn't need Yu Sheng to do that. "You're busy with work. Don't agree the next time my dad asks you for help."

"I know my limits," said Yu Sheng. His fair and powerful hand grasped the black leather steering wheel. His gaze was cold and concentrated, exuding a restrained, ascetic vibe.

Li Zhen fell silent for a moment. She suddenly thought of a more serious issue.

Although Yu Sheng didn't tell Li Yinnan about their divorce yesterday, it was possible they just hadn't talked about it.

If Li Yinnan found out they had divorced, she would look for loopholes. With her vicious means, she would likely imprison Li Zhen, leaving her no chance to get pregnant, locking her up for a year until the contract expired.

So for now, their divorce had to remain a secret.

She was walking on a knife's edge, but the annual dividend was over ten million! Money didn't come easy. People worked hard from dawn to dusk to earn those bits of silver. Now there was this chance, only a fool wouldn't take it!

After sorting out her thoughts, Li Zhen unnaturally asked Yu Sheng, "Do you have any plans to marry recently?"

Yu Sheng glanced at Li Zhen. They had just divorced three days ago and she already wanted to remarry?

Arguing to the point of rage-divorcing once was enough. If they remarried rashly and she made a scene again next time...

"I don't have such plans," Yu Sheng said coldly, rejecting her decisively.

"Then when you see my dad, could you not mention our divorce for now?" Li Zhen was relieved he had no plans to remarry yet, so he didn't need to rush to reclaim his single status.

If he helped hide it for a while, it wouldn't impact him much.

"Mm," Yu Sheng gave a light hum of agreement.

Of course he wouldn't mention something as petty as marital spats to the elders.

Reassured by his affirmative response, Li Zhen said, "Don't worry, I'll also try to make sure my dad bothers you less during this time. Thank you for this."

The two parked according to the navigation Li Yinnan sent.

Song Fu had people keeping watch. As soon as Yu Sheng parked, Song Fu was already beside the car. "Little Yu, bad traffic coming from the South Gate, right?"

Yu Sheng and Li Zhen got out of the car.

"Uncle Song," Yu Sheng nodded in greeting. "It was alright, not too congested today."

"This is Little Li?" Song Fu's gaze fell on Li Zhen.

It was no secret that Li Yinnan had an illegitimate daughter. She was just rarely seen and few had met her.

When Li Yinnan mentioned his daughter the other day, Song Fu had assumed it was Li Yanran.

Only after making careful inquiries did he find out Li Yanran was engaged to the Yun family, so it must be that seldom seen illegitimate daughter instead.

Although it had been many years, Li Yinnan's affair with that woman had been the talk of the town back then.

Meeting Li Zhen today, Song Fu understood why the usually stoic Li Yinnan had kicked up such a fuss.

Just like the Eldest Young Master of the Yu family was of esteemed status yet helpless against feminine charm.

Li Zhen smiled. "Uncle Song."

Song Fu spoke kindly, "Uncle Song rarely went to the Li family before, so we met even less. My daughter is around your age. Feel free to come play with her in the future."

"Alright, Uncle Song," Li Zhen politely nodded.

The Song family was in real estate in Jincheng. Most begged them for partnerships, so they had always acted aloof.

Seeing Song Fu personally welcome and treat two youngsters so warmly, the guests who had parked their cars looked over curiously.

What was even more surprising was the car these youngsters drove - just an entry-level Mercedes-Benz E-Class worth a few hundred thousand.

The other cars in this parking lot were at least millions.

Song Fu brought the two inside the villa. "Little Li, your dad is talking with President Zhang. I'll take you guys over."

"Okay, Uncle Song," said Li Zhen, glancing around.

In the center of the great hall was a lavish temporary stage filled with exquisite instruments. A man in formal attire sat before the piano, immersed in melodious playing.

Under the soothing, elegant music, everyone held wine glasses, chatting in groups of threes.

She had always disliked such occasions.

Forced by her grandfather to attend Li family banquets before, she had always kept out of the way until it ended.

Today, with Song Fu treating her so warmly, it wouldn't look good to sneak off.

Yu Sheng glanced at her lack of enthusiasm and said softly, "Didn't you say your stomach hurt and you wanted to rest in the corner?"

Li Zhen: ...When did she say that?

It only took a second for her to catch on. "Oh right, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable."

"Should I have the family doctor take a look?" Song Fu's expression was anxious.

"No need. Just an old problem, I'll be fine after a rest," Li Zhen smiled calmly and headed to the corner, making sure to gently clutch her stomach, putting on a weak yet strong front.

Seeing her commit to the act, Yu Sheng couldn't help an amused smile. He looked away and went with Song Fu to Li Yinnan.

-

Li Zhen sat in the corner happily snacking as she watched Yu Sheng from afar.

He wore the same lustrous silver-white fabric as her. The fine, orderly stitches complemented his tall and upright bearing, exuding the proud and noble temperament unique to privileged young masters.

Standing among the crowd, his tall figure towered over the others. She could spot him at a glance.

Watching him conversing smoothly with Li Yinnan and the others, a glamorous figure suddenly appeared behind Yu Sheng.

It was Li Yanran!

Li Zhen immediately perked up.

Some sisterly love! Her bestie was beaten up by Yu Sheng, yet Li Yanran not only didn't keep her company, she could still cozy up to him shamelessly!

Li Zhen had lied last time about slapping her for throwing herself at Yu Sheng.

But it did remind her that she should try to catch Li Yanran on video seducing Yu Sheng for future leverage.

Li Zhen took out her phone and turned on the camera, thinking about whether she could take some useful shots, but the lens was blocked by the person standing in front of her.

"Excuse me, please move." Li Zhen stared at the camera and waved her hand.

But the person in front didn't budge at all.

Li Zhen didn't expect to encounter such an ill-mannered person in this situation. Anger flared up in her.

"Are you..." Li Zhen looked up, her tone suddenly shifting, "Your ears look clever and good-looking, Mr. Lu..."

"Good-looking?" Lu Yanming's nearly 1.9-meter tall figure looked down at the sitting Li Zhen, the oppressive aura hitting her in the face. "You were just looking at someone else admiringly just now, even wanting to take a picture with your phone? You like him that much?"
