A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Chen Ying walks alongside the two and accompanies Yuexi to Ouyang Mu’s car. She leans against the window and speaks to Ouyang Mu, “I’ll leave my Little Yueyue to you. You are responsible for her safety now. You have to do everything to protect her. If she is injured even a little bit, you’re the one to be blamed.” Ouyang Mu turns his head and nods with a smile, “Okay, just leave her to me. No one will hurt your Little Yueyue.”

They don’t say a word to each other on the way to the court. Ouyang Mu drives the car in silence and Yuexi lowers her head. She looks nervous, her hands busy playing with her bag. Ouyang Mu stops the car before the red light, “The bag is of good quality, but if you keep twisting it like this, it will be damaged.”

Yuexi is startled by Ouyang Mu’s words. After collecting her thoughts, she looks at the handbag in her hand again. Then she looks at Ouyang Mu in embarrassment. Ouyang Mu also looks at her and smiles. ” Is that your way of telling me that you don’t like it and want me to buy you a new one?” “Ah? What are you talking about? Of course not.” As she talks, she lower her head again, busy helping the dent to pop back out this time.

“Huh? So are you blaming me for not noticing your beautiful dress today?” Ouyang Mu smiles and glances at her before stepping on the accelerator. Yuexi can clearly feel that his gaze falls on her chest. But his gaze doesn’t make her feel uncomfortable. At least when compared with those people who check her out in the studio. But she still subconsciously lifts her hand and covers up her low cut dress. “I have to blame Chen Ying for this. She insists on my wearing this dress.”

“Why blame her? She has a good taste. It’s beautiful and you look fabulous in it.” Ouyang Mu looks serious, leaving Yuexi a little confused about whether he really feels that way or he is just flattering her. Yuexi is stunned for less than a second before cracking a smile again, “I’ll take it as compliments. Thank you.” Ouyang Mu frowns, “I am not flattering you. You look really beautiful today. Compared with how you look the other day when I saved you, the differences are huge.”

Yuexi rolls her eyes and doesn’t know how to reply. Just give me a break. Are you complimenting me or making fun of me? A smile appears at the corner of Ouyang Mu’s mouth, “You were really a mess that day, but look at you today! You look calm and confident.” Calm and confident, am I? Yuexi checks herself out secretly in the rearview mirror and giggles. Looking at Ouyang Mu with a smile, she says, “Thank you.” Ouyang My doesn’t speak a word but just smiles.

At the gate of the court, Yuexi puts away her smiles when she catches sight of that person. He stands on the steps, watching them. He is waiting for them. No, to be exact, he is waiting for her. Looking at Li Fengjue, Ouyang Mu frowns. He unfastens his seat belt and says to Yuexi, “Stay where you are in the car. I will be back soon.” Then Ouyang Mu closes the car door and walks towards Li Fengjue. Yuexi opens the car door for herself. She gets out of the car too.

She comes to Ouyang Mu’s side, trying to make herself stand up straight, walk past Li Fengjue while maintaining her posture. Ouyang Mu looks at her, and then looks at Li Fengjue. Without saying anything, he walks alongside Yuexi up the steps. However, Li Fengjue – who topples Yuexi by half a head – takes a big step forward and makes himself standing squarely in front of Yuexi. He looks down at her.

Feeling the pressure imposed by Li Fengjue, Yuexi clenches her fists, raises her chin, and glares at Li Fengjue. At this moment, Yuexi feels unusually peaceful. She speaks first, “I’ve already given her a chance, haven’t I? It’s just that she doesn’t take it seriously.” “What do you want? What should I do to make you spare her?” Li Fengjue looks gloomy, his looks as cold as ice.

Yuexi doesn’t back off, “An adult should be responsible for his behavior. Every mistake has a price.” “Bai Yuexi!” Li Fengjue grabs Yuexi by her arm. He uses too much strength, making her feel the pain. However, Yuexi just frowns and restrains from screaming out loud. She endures the pain and presses her hand against the back of Li Fengjue’s hand, “Li Fengjue, I think you should not get yourself involved in this. After all, she is your sister-in-law, a woman who doesn’t love you back. The more you do for her, the more you hurt yourself.”

Li Fengjue is stunned by her words. Yuexi quickly breaks away from him and takes Ouyang Mu to walk past Li Fengjue. “Bai Yuexi!” Li Fengjue roars, turns around, in an attempt to grab Yuexi again, only to find his hands gripped by Ouyang Mu. Li Fengjue has such a long face, his eyes fixated on Yuexi.

Ouyang Mu steps forward and stands between him and Yuexi, “Mr. Li Fengjue, as a lawyer, I have to warn you her right to appear in court is protected by the law. You have no right to stop her.” Finishing that, Ouyang Mu, directly ignoring Li Fengjue’s angry look, turns around to accompany Yuexi into the gate of the court under Li Fengjue’s gaze.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

When they come out of the court again, Li Fengjue is no longer there. Yuexi looks at the place where Li Fengjue stood and feels a little bit absent-minded. Ouyang Mu who stands beside her reaches out his hand, “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.” Yuexi shakes her head, “No, I want to walk home alone by myself. Thank you so much for today.”

He smiles slightly, “No need to thank me. There is not much I can do for you. If nothing goes wrong, the date of the hearing will be seven days later. These seven days is the time for both of us to collect evidence. Keep in touch with me. Make sure you are accessible. You can also call me when you need anything.”

Yuexi nods, “Okay, then I’ll leave now.” Looking at Yuexi who is going away, Ouyang Mu gets into the car, steps on the accelerator, and leaves. Yuexi slowly walks home. Looking at things in her house, Yuexi thinks of her dead father and feels depressed again.
