A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

As soon as the coffee is served, a man sits down in front of Yuexi. She looks up and finds that the person sitting across from her is Li Ya’s husband, Li Fengye’s brother, Li Fengye.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I was held up by something.” He wears a shirt, his cuffs and neckline unbuttoned. Seeing him dressed so casually, she knows that he might have come a long way to get here.

Yuexi feels a little guilty about this. “No apologies. It is I that I should apologize for this. I know that you are busy, but it is very urgent and I just can’t wait.”

Li Fengye smiles, shakes his head, and motions to the waiter to order a cup of coffee.

Then he fixes his eyes on Yuexi and asks, “It doesn’t matter. I am not that busy today. So, what can I do for you?”

Yuexi stirs the coffee in front of her, looking very embarrassed, “Actually, there is just a small thing. I have already regretted for asking you out now.”

“But I’ve already come. If you don’t say it now, you will regret more later.” Li Fengye holds his cup of coffee, and then puts it down without a sip.

“Maybe you are right… Well, Em” Looking at Li Fengye’s bright eyes, Yuexi opens her mouth, “Here is the thing: I really like the bracelet you give to your wife Li Ya. I really want to have one, but only recently I find it is custom made, so I want to ask where you found it.”

After that, Yuexi behaves just like a kid who did something wrong. She immediately lowers her head, stirring the coffee nervously.

Li Fengye doesn’t say a word, regarding Yuexi, as if trying to see her through, and to see what is on her mind.

Yuexi now is a little afraid, especially when seeing Li Fengye not saying a word, which makes her even more nervous. She grits her teeth and says to herself that since she has already asked, there is no way of coming back.

The moment she raises her head, she hears Li Fengye saying embarrassedly, “It is true that the bracelet is a present from me, and it is indeed custom made, but I don’t know where it was made.” In order to hide his embarrassment, he lowers his head and takes a sip of coffee.

Yuexi’s eyes are wide open. You don’t know where you found it? How is it possible? You are lying!

As if he could read her mind, Li Fengye explains: “I was busy taking over the family’s business at the time, and the wedding dates were postponed again and again. There was no time to take care of those wedding things at all, so most of those things were arranged by Fengjue, including that bracelet. He helped me find someone to make that bracelet, and I gave it to Li Ya as an engagement gift.”

Hearing this, Yuexi is dumbfounded. Can this work?

Li Fengye takes out a pen and a piece of tissue and writes something on it. After he finishes that, he hands it to Yuexi.

“I once heard Fengjue mentioned the designer, and it is the address and her name. You can ask Li Fengjue to confirm it.”

Yuexi takes the tissue and have a quick look at it, “No need. The last person I want to see is him, and he must feel the same, too.”

Li Fengye seems to think of something, so he loses his mind for a while, but suddenly comes back, “It is human nature to judge a person from what we see. It is the most direct and intuitive, but what we see often deceives us.”

“Just like you and Li Ya?” Yuexi already regrets as soon as she blurts it out. She shrinks back, leaning close to the back of the chair. Secretly casting a quick glance at Li Fengye, she is very afraid that he may lose his temper.

But she obviously underestimates Li Fengye, he just looks at her with an expression that is hard to describe.

After a while, Yuexi feels as if she lives a year in a minute, and Li Fengye leans back, “Yes, just like me and her, lying on the same bed, but having different dreams.”

Yuexi is even more restless now. Did he actually know it a long time ago? In that case, why does he keep the marriage? Is it true that he has a special preference as Chen Ying said?

“Because I am Li Fengye.” As if reading her mind again, Li Fengye says that and then he gets up and leaves his seat and walks towards the door.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Yuexi looks at him walking out of the cafe, and suddenly feels a little sympathetic to

him. Yes, because he is Li Fengye, the first grandson of Li’s family, he does not even have the right to feel tired.

Then Yuexi looks down at the tissue he has left and takes out the phone to take a picture and send it out.

Seeing the reply from the other end of the phone, Yuexi feels a little uneasy now. Li Fengye is the most innocent person, and now she has to involve him like this, which makes her very guilty towards him.

But Ouyang Mu has said that, only in this way can he make the evidence solid and then they can have more chances to beat Li Ya. Anyway, she betrays him, so dealing with Li Ya is also a way to help him to take revenge.

Only in this way can she justify herself and feel the guilt in her heart alleviated.

At this moment, the mobile phone that has just been placed on the table rings. She picks up the mobile phone and sees that it is Chen Ying.

Chen Ying is very sorry to leave her alone last night, saying that she would buy her a big meal as an apology.

When Yuexi hears her words, she remembers what happened last night again. If Chen Ying were there last night, maybe that wouldn’t have happened. No, Li Fengjue is such a person that no one and nothing can stop him, and if it weren’t for this, maybe she wouldn’t really see him clearly.

Thinking of this, she smiles bitterly, then tells Chen Ying the address and asks her to pick herself up.

Chen Ying takes Yuexi directly to the shopping mall. Chen Ying says Yuexi needs to have a change. Then she picks a few clothes for Yuexi, and she pushes her into the fitting room to try them on.

Finally, Yuexi is made to put on a deep V-back skirt. When the traces left on her body are exposed, Chen Ying looks at her, her mouth wide open and subconsciously says, “Damn!”

In the fitting room, Chen Ying looks at Yuexi and she wants to say something but doesn’t. Yuexi takes her hand and says, “Don’t ask me, okay?”

Chen Ying frowns and is pushed out of the fitting room by Yuexi, “Well, don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Don’t you want to take me out to eat something? Let’s go.”

“Ok, let’s go.” Chen Ying nods reluctantly.

When she arrives at the restaurant, Yuexi suddenly regrets it and wants to cry. She just had a big meal. She is still stuffed now, but she looks at Chen Ying, and is ashamed to say it out.
