A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by He Li

Chen Ying pays the bill and runs out. She throws her arms around Yuexi’s neck. “You see? I treat you pretty well.” Yuexi restricts herself from giggling the whole time. When these two look at each other, she cannot hold back anymore and laughs out loud like a fool. It is till then that Chen Ying notices the wounds on Yuexi’s hands. She is surprised and asks her, “What’s wrong with your hands? It looks like you’re badly injured.”

“They were accidentally cut by the glass.” Yuexi tells her the truth, but leaves out some details. When Chen Ying called her to watch the show, she thought of her hands heavily wrapped. They don’t look quite nice and a little bit too eye-catching. Therefore, she takes off the gauze. “You do everything so carelessly! I cannot even believe that you are actually hurt by glass!” Chen Ying expects better of her.

Chen Ying has always been a self-reliant person. Her parents got divorced when she was little. Her father had a drinking problem, while her mother was bedridden with sickness. When she was in junior high school, her mother died and her father disappeared. Therefore, she has always been more sensible than her peers. Yuexi used to have a happy family and a boyfriend who was perfect in her mind’s eye. But now she has nothing, so she can understand how Chen Ying feels. Even though she looks tough, Yuexi knows that she is vulnerable at heart.

Chen Ying takes Yuexi to the mall and picks several outfits. Every outfit costs thousands of RMB. But her economic condition is better than that of Yuexi. Carrying two bags of clothes, Chen Ying says, “You can take these as your wedding gifts!” Yuexi is shocked and asks, “You disapprove of my marriage, do you? Why should you give me gifts?”

“On second thoughts, Li Fengjue doesn’t behave as badly as I thought. He not only looks handsome but also has wealth. And seemingly, he is amazing in bed.” When Chen Ying talks about men, she always speaks frankly. Though Yuexi has been used to it for a long time, she still couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. Then Chen Ying laughs even more evilly, “Am I right? Even if you two are divorced in the future, it’s not your loss. You have already taken what you need.”

Chen Ying deliberately puts emphasis on the last sentence. Yuexi grabs the bag by one hand and is about to run away, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. Nothing happened between us two …” “You must think stupid of me! You two must have done the thing that is supposed to be done.” Chen Ying follows her. At this moment, Yuexi’s mobile phone rings.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

When she realizes that the call is from Li Fengjue, she subconsciously wants to hang up. However, Chen Ying takes a faster step and grabs the phone from Yuexi. “Hello?” Li Fengjue frowns, “Put Yuexi on the phone.” Then Chen Ying passes the phone to Yuexi, “Your husband is asking for you.”

Now Yuexi feels a cold sweat breaking out, as if the mobile phone were a bomb that she is afraid to take. “What’s the matter?” She asks nervously. “Get the hell back immediately!” Li Fengjue answers her bluntly. Yuexi wants to explain, “I’ll be back soon, I’m just hanging out with my friend.”

“You dare to sneak out!” Li Fengjue’s voice is cold and deep. Yuexi could imagine how scary he is right now. “No, I didn’t! I told Li Rui that I would be back soon.” “Liu Rui is being punished now. If you don’t come back now, he may not be able to take it anymore.” It sounds obviously like a threat.

“You … ” Li Fengjue hangs up the phone when Yuexi still has something to say. She immediately tells Chen Ying, “Hurry! Take me back to Li Fengjue.” Then, Chen Ying drives furiously to drive her back to the villa. On the way, she tells Chen Ying what happened.

Chen Ying smiles evilly, and there is naughtiness in her eyes. “If you cannot think of a better way to apologize, then put on the clothes I gave you. Maybe Master Li will forgive you.” Yuexi cannot fathom the logic behind Chen Ying’s words. How can Li Fengjue forgive her just because of some pieces of clothing? How could that be!

Chen Ying drops her at the gate, and then drives away. She has that worried look on her face, as if she were asking Yuexi to look for blessing. Yuexi walks into the villa, trembling with fear. The minute she steps into it, she sees Liu Rui is commanding a group of servants who are doing push-ups. The scene is really something. Li Fengjue stands at the gate, and stares at Yuexi coldly.

Yuexi hurries forward, trying to pull up those who are doing push-ups. But they are not moved, and even the voices of rejection sound low and trembling. “If you want to punish someone, you can just punish me alone. Why vent your anger on these innocent people?” Since Li Fengjue is their master, they naturally dare not behave against his will.

“Look who comes back eventually!” Li Fengjue’s narrow eyes look sharp. “I just went to see a friend.” Yuexi feels that she has done nothing wrong, therefore, she raises her delicate little face, and looks directly into his eyes. “Judging from your attitude, it seems that the punishment of Li Rui and others will not stop today.”

Upon hearing this, Yuexi frowns. With a slightly painful expression on her face, she sets out to do the push-up herself. The wounds on her hand make her painful fingers tremble, but she clenches her teeth and persists. “It all happened because of me. If you don’t let them stop, then I will do it with them.” Liu Rui replies quickly, “Ma’am, you still have injuries on your hands, you must stop.”

“Injuries? Your master thinks it would be better if I’m dead.” Li Fengjue looks at Yuexi coldly, from head to toe, and says, “Get up!” Seeing Yuexi doesn’t move, he hurries forward and lifts her from the ground. His brows curl up, and anger surges up in his eyes.

“You let me go! Why should you punish them? It is none of their business!” Yuexi always dares to take responsibilities. Even if she is Mrs. Li now, it doesn’t mean she is sold to Li Fengjue. She is still entitled to some basic human rights. “You can’t run outside without my permission.”

“Why? I’m not your toy. Is it wrong for me to see my friends? You have no right to interfere with my personal freedom!” The coldness remains in Li Fengjue’s sharp eyes. “Fine. I won’t care if you get caught by Xu Linchen again.” Yuexi freezes and asks weakly,” Did you just fear that I would be caught by him again? ”

“You stupid woman, don’t make something out of nothing.” His words are followed by his turning around, and walking directly into the villa. “You all get up, there would be no exception next time.” Yuexi quickly chases after Li Fengjue, muttering quietly behind him. “You’re acting too awkwardly. Will it kill you if you just say that you are worried about me?” The voice is soft, and she doesn’t know if Li Fengjue hears it. He goes into the bedroom while Yuexi comes to the bathroom, carrying the clothes sent by Chen Ying.

After taking a bath, she remembers what Chen Ying has said, “Put on the clothes I gave you. Maybe Master Li will forgive you.” She puts the underwear in the bag on her body, only to find that it is a suit of black sexy lace lingerie! Looking at herself in the mirror, Yuexi sees her private part is partly hidden and partly visible. She thinks about Chen Ying’s words. Just when she is about to take off the underwear, the bathroom door opens with a bang, and Li Fengjue appears at the door.
