A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

After Yuexi speaks so ill of Xu Ziqi behind her back, who knows what trouble she will stir up in the Xu family this time? She really feels she is a vicious woman, but she feels compelled to be one. After all, no one wants to be a bad person. Coming out of the café, her mood becomes less gloomy or even cheerful. Yuexi finds the address of the nearest shopping mall through her phone and now she is in the mood to buy something to treat herself.

Women love to shop. It is naturally endowed. The Women’s Clothes Store she frequented is located on the second floor. The kaleidoscopic display of clothes is dazzling. Yuexi stops at the Chanel Counter. She is attracted by a lace pure-white dress that is embroidered with light gold lines. The length of the dress is just right. It looks cute, expensive and most important of all, displaying her femininity to the most .

She walks into the store. Her hand barely touches the dress, just at that moment, a slender hand takes the dress away. Yuexi frowns and turns around to look at her. It turns out to be Li Ya! Li Ya holds the dress with one hand and stands there to look at Yuexi leisurely. She does not seem to be surprised at all – she even walks up to her to say hello, “Miss Bai, you are also here!”

Yuexi doesn’t like her very much. It was because of her that she almost died in Fengdu. Li Ya is a woman with s beautiful face but is very vicious in nature. Everybody can learn to be vicious. Yuexi curls up the corner of her lips, straightens her back confidently, and steps forward, “Sister-in-law, please call me Mrs. Li. After all, I am married to A-jue.” She kindly reminds her.

Li Ya seems not to be affected. She tries to compose herself, but her finger knuckles reveal everything. Still holding the hanger, those knuckles turn pale already. Anyone that is not too dull can imagine how angry she must be at this moment. “You are right. I’m rude and it is my bad.” Though admitting her mistake on the surface, Li Ya still doesn’t call her Mrs. Li. Yuexi reaches out her hand and curls up the corners of her delicate lips, “Sister-in-law, do you like this dress?”

“Definitely, what an exquisite and gorgeous dress! Of course, not many people are worthy of wearing it. Only the worthy people deserve such a dress, don’t you agree?” Her evil eyes slightly raised. With a chuckle, Yuexi tries to imagine how the dress will look like on her body. “But, sister-in-law, you seem to forget one thing – whether you are worthy of wearing this dress is one thing. But whether you can fit in and wear it well is another.”

“I haven’t tried it yet, how can you know I can’t wear it?” Li Ya stares at her confidently. “However, no one seems to be willing to wear second-hand clothes. And I believe the same is true of people.” Yuexi says to herself, without paying attention to how pale Li Ya’s face turns. She picks up another maxi dress. The style is similar but this one is more enchanting. She hands it over to Li Ya.

“I think this dress suits you better, sister-in-law. Don’t you want to try it?” The smile on Li Ya’s face disappears. She looks at Yuexi expressionlessly and her voice is cold, “There is no need. Since you like this one, then I ‘ll leave it to you. It’s just one piece of clothing, not a person. I don’t really care. ”

Yuexi takes the clothes from her hand without any hesitation. She curls up the corner of her mouth and says, “Then I must thank you, my sister-in-law. In general, I don’t let go of things that I love. This may be the reason why A-jue likes me. Can you tell me something more about your relationship with my elder brother? I’m quite curious.”

She looks like a nice girl. When she smiles, her sly eyes looks foxy. Behind her pure and harmless smiles, she feels quite content. Yuexi knows she can get Li Ya annoyed. Li Ya looks at Yuexi quietly for a long time before she says, “The three of us grew up together. Fengye was restrained and calm and we were cut out for each other thus we were together naturally.”

“It makes sense.” Yuexi thinks about it for a while. The smile on her face gets broader. “I really envy you, childhood sweethearts. I fall in love with A-jue at first sight, and it is also very romantic. It is hard to tell. Who can really understand a relationship? You cannot take somebody just at face value. Sometimes people grow up together and have been together for more than ten years, however, that doesn’t mean the relationship will last , perhaps it may not outlive a relationship that exists just for a few month, like my relationship with A-jue. ”

“Are you that sure about your relationship?” Li Ya expresses her doubts. “Even it’s true that you said you guys fell in love at first sight, if my memory didn’t cheat me, when you were injured in Fengdu, Fengjue seemed to have left for Britain. If he really had put you in his heart, he wouldn’t have gone to work.” He was in Britain at that time? Wasn’t he with Li Ya?

Yuexi is stunned, thinking about the cause and effect. Indeed, Li Fengjue must have gone to Britain to deal with urgent business matters at that time. No matter what it was, it was not because of Li Ya. Thinking of this, Yuexi feels happy, even though she cannot tell the reason why.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“A-jue is a workaholic, but he is quite romantic by nature. Not so long ago, he came to my company to deliver breakfast in person. Everyone at the company knew that we were married, and it made me quite embarrassed.” Saying this, Yue Xi even fakes a flushed face, pretending she is still savoring that moment. She secretly examines Li Ya’s reaction with the corner of her eyes. As expected, Li Ya looks gloomy and her face turns into a pig liver color.

Even though she tries to cover it up, her eyes still manifest her frustration and resentment. Yuexi feels the pleasure in her heart. Yuexi doesn’t want to make things difficult for her, but it is this woman who makes the first move. Since Li Ya does so, Yuexi couldn’t be a pushover, right? Having been playing the role of a vicious woman these days, Yuexi feels that she is quite good at it. Now that she has embraced this side of herself, she might as well be even more ruthless.

Her sly eyes glow but she pretends to ask unintentionally, “Sister-in-law, it seems that you are only few years older than me. You should be at the same age with my husband. Why did you marry my elder brother?” This is the last straw. Suddenly Li Ya’s face turns pale. Her clothing-holding hand trembles uncontrollably, and the lines on her face tightened. It takes quite a while for her to respond, “I don’t like naive men.”

“So, my sister-in-law, you think A-jue is naive? You see, my opinions about him is totally different. I like the way he treats his work, it is so mature. However, in front of me he behaves just like a child. I always wonder how boring it will be to hang around with a person who is all the time mature. How uncomfortable it is.” Li Ya’s face turns purple with anger. Yuexi continues saying, “Since you are so much in love with each other, why don’t you still have no children? I heard that you have been married to my elder brother for two years. A-jue and I are still very young, so, there is no rush to make babies. But, you guys have to pay more attention to it, I heard that when a woman is getting older, it will become more difficult to get pregnant …”

Even before Yuexi could finish talking, Li Ya drops the hanger on the floor. The snapping sound startles Yuexi. Li Ya picks up the clothing from the floor and hands it over to Yuexi, “I have something else to attend to, so, I have to leave early. Come to Fengheju next time. Your bill is on me.” She quickly drops these words, pays the bill, and leaves without looking back. Seeing how she runs away in disgrace, Yuexi laughs heartlessly. It seems that she is quite suitable for being a vicious woman.
