A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

This hot pot restaurant is Yuexi and Chen Ying ‘s favorite. They are regular customers. Both of them love the hotpot seasoning so much. But sitting there now and smelling the smell she loves so much is a torture for her. She touches her belly and loses the appetite. Chen Ying seems to forget what happened just now and puts meat in the boiling water. Then she puts most of the meat in Yuexi’s plate.

Yuexi tries very hard to eat some. As she eats, she feels like she is about to vomit, “I’m going to the toilet.” Chen Ying looks up at her and then waves her hand. “You just go, I’ll save this squid for you. When you come back, it will be ready.” Yuexi smiles and then she pushes the door open and says, “Remember to save some squid for me. Don’t eat them all.”

Yuexi vomits again in the toilet booth. She feels much better now. When she comes out, she happens to see someone stepping out of the toilet. Yuexi is stunned to see that person’s side face. Is it Li Ya? She is not sure, so she decides to follow her. Hiding behind the door, Yuexi secretly checks out the person’s back. Although she doesn’t see her so many times, she is sure that this person is Li Ya.

She doesn’t know why Li Ya happens to be there. Now she has no time to think about it. There is a long corridor outside the toilet. She hides herself in the corner and keeps watching until that person goes into a room. When Li Ya turns around to open the door, Yuexi sees her side face again. It is indeed Li Ya. After Li Ya enters the door, Yuexi runs quietly to that room. Nobody is in the corridor, so she gently presses her ears against the door.

In the room, Li Ya says, “A-jue, why did you ask me out for dinner today? I almost forget when we eat alone last time.” Eat alone? Li Ya is a married woman. Is it really appropriate for her to think about this kind of thing? Moreover, is she talking to Li Fengjue? Yuexi feels she is right. Li Ya is an easy woman. Li Ya is already married to Li Fengye, but she still doesn’t forget Li Fengjue, his younger brother. Although Yuexi feels very angry, she suppresses her anger and continues to eavesdrop.

“I have something to ask you.” As soon as the man speaks, Yuexi covers her mouth with her hand. As is expected, it is Li Fengjue. These two people are really something! But it is none of my business, and I now have nothing to do with him. Yuexi curses herself silently. Li Ya seems surprised, “What’s the matter? Go ahead and ask.”

“Where is your bracelet?” It never occurs to Yuexi that Li Fengjue would directly ask Li Ya such a question. Li Ya must be stunned by the question as well. “Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I took it off and put it at home? Why do you suddenly ask about this again, A-jue?” “Why do you take it off and put it at home at this moment of time? I remember that your bracelet is gone after Yuexi’s accident. Do you still want to lie to me?”

“I have nothing to do with her accident. And my taking off the bracelet also has nothing to do with it. Why do you try to link these two things? Why do I have to lie to you?” “You know exactly whether you lie to me or not. Do you still want to lie to my face? It’s no good for anyone if you keep acting this way. I think you should apologize to Yuexi and ask for forgiveness.”

“What? Apologize? I have already apologized to her that day and she has accepted it. Why should I apologize again?” “You know I’m not talking about this!” “What else are you talking about? I’ve only done one thing that hurts her. Plus, it is the grandfather who asks me to do that.”

“Do you really have to be like this? Now she is no longer that same Yuexi who can be bullied around. It will be harmful to yourself if you keep forcing her like this.” “What have I done? How do I force her? It is all because of her! If it weren’t for her, how could we become like this! Now you only believe her, not me! And you even help her to bully me.”

“I have been helping you from the start, but you keep lying to me.” “If you really want to help me, you will not care whether I’m lying to you! See how you care about Bai Yuexi!” Li Ya roars. Suddenly the room is silent. Yuexi is afraid that they would run out of the room at any moment if they lose control. So, she doesn’t dare to eavesdrop anymore and so she sneaks away. When she runs back to her room, she stays outside for a while to calm herself down before getting in.

Chen Ying frowns and looks at Yuexi, “What have you been doing? You have stayed there for so long. I thought you fell into the toilet and I was planning to find the rescue team to save you.” Yuexi rolls the eyes at her, “Can’t you hope for something better happening to me?” Chen Ying picks up some squids for her. Then she puts down her chopsticks and shrugs, “Of course. I hope you and Ouyang Mu will get married and live a happy life together…”

Before she could finish speaking, Yuexi stuffs her with a piece of squid, “Okay, fine, keep eating and don’t talk.” Chen Ying doesn’t seem to be offended. She chews the squid in her mouth as she mumbles, “Fine. You blame me for not hoping for something good happening to you. But you don’t want to listen to these nice words either. What can I do?”

Yuexi is a little absentminded, she still thinks about what just happens. Fengjue says that he did everything to protect Li Ya’s interest and he is always helping her. But in Li Ya’s eyes, Li Fengjue is helping Yuexi. Is she out of her mind or is she consumed with jealousy or is she stupid? What the hell is on her mind and does she really love Li Fengjue?

When thinking about that, she subconsciously says it aloud, “Tell me, what is going on between Li Ya and Li Fengjue?” Chen Ying rolls her eyes at her, “How can it be? Li Fengjue is a fool in love.” “Huh? You mean, Li Fengjue loves Li Ya deeply, but Li Ya doesn’t love him back?” Yuexi feels shocked. No way! After meeting Li Ya for several times, Yuexi knows that she has intense interest in Li Fengjue.

Chen Ying shakes her head, “It’s not fair to say that she doesn’t love him. She definitely has feelings for Li Fengjue, but she just doesn’t love him that much. Otherwise, she would never marry his brother at first. She just doesn’t want to let go of Li Fengjue.” “That seems to make sense.”

Chen Ying grabs the chopsticks and taps her head lightly with it, “What does it mean when you say ‘that seems’? It is just the way it is. Do you think I’m as stupid as you are? I know exactly what is going on when I use my brain.” Seeing Yuexi doesn’t seem to believe in her, Chen Ying suddenly becomes a little bit angry, “Hey, don’t you believe in me?”

After giving her another look, Chen Ying finally gives up, “Okay, okay, Li Fengye is a client, so of course I need to know more about the Li family. I investigated the whole family. My conclusion is totally based on the fact, in that you can trust me.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
