A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

That is… Li Fengjue’s car!

Is he near here? Yuexi scans the crowd again, but doesn’t see any face that looks familiar.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Then she walks a few steps closer and strains her eyes. She could now vaguely see a person on the driver’s seat.

Is that he?

Yuexi’s whole body rigid, she whips around and starts to run. But what makes Yuexi a little desperate is that she can sense the car driving slowly behind her.

What on earth does he want? Her litigation has already been presented to the court, and she told him clearly yesterday, why does he follow her? What is he up to?

She keeps thinking about the possibilities. She runs faster and faster, but how could she run faster than a car?

Out of desperation, Yuexi feels herself completely disoriented, after turning right or left a few times, finally she is in a deadend back street. What’s worse, nobody is there, the alley is deserted!

Her legs heavy now, Yuexi couldn’t run anymore. She stops, panting. Then she finds the car is coming nearer and nearer, and she realizes that she can do nothing about it now.

What is he up to? Why does he follow her here? No matter what, she doesn’t have the strength to escape anymore, she could only watch Li Fengjue’s car pull up in front of her. When the car door opens, she even closes her eyes in despair.

But he doesn’t move either, and Yuexi opens her eyes, puzzled, only to find that it isn’t Li Fengjue, and it is his bodyguard Liu Rui.

Speaking of Liu Rui, Yuexi recalls it is this Liu Rui who was punished severely by Li Fengjue last time just because she sneaked out of his house, and she still feels a little guilty for him now.

“Liu Rui, why are you here?” Yuexi looks towards the car. There is no one else except Liu Rui, and she sighs with relief.

“Mrs Li, I have been looking for you for a long time.” Liu Rui looks a little anxious, which doesn’t match his usual calmness.

Yuexi looks at him puzzled, wondering what was wrong with him.

Liu Rui hurriedly says, ” Mrs Li, please come with me. President Li has been drinking non-stop since last night. If he drinks like this, it will kill him.”

When she hears that he comes to her for the sake of Li Fengjue, Yuexi steps back immediately, “Liu Rui, I am no longer his wife, it is his own business, I don’t want to interfere.”

After saying that, Yuexi turns around and wants to leave, but Liu Rui moves very fast and plants himself in front of her, blocking her way, “Mrs Li, you will always be my Mrs Li. Now, except you, no one can stop him.”

Yuexi looks at him in disbelief, “You think I am a fool? Li Ya, go and turn to Li Ya for help! Didn’t he always listen to her? Let Li Ya persuade him, just one word will stop him.”

Liu Rui says frustratedly, “It’s useless. She was there, but was driven away and even not allowed to enter the room. You are the only person in the world that can stop him, and now only you can help.”

Did they have a quarrel? Yuexi wonders, how come Li Fengjue would treat Li Ya like that?

Seeing Yuexi still hesitating, Liu Rui kneels down , “Mrs Li, I am begging you. I am willing to go through fire for you, as long as you can go and stop him now. His life is in your hands.”

“Eh, what are you doing!” Yuexi is taken aback by him. It never occurs to her that Liu Rui, a man, would kneel down and beg her just for Li Fengjue.

The first time she saw a man kneeling down was when Ling Yun begged her to forgive him, and the second time was when Li Fengjue begged her for Li Ya.

On those two occasions, she turns them down mercilessly, but this time, Liu Rui kneels in front of her for Li Fengjue, she is very impressed and finds it hard to say no to him.

She desperately pulls Liu Rui’s arm, trying to pull him up, but Liu Rui is stronger than her, and she can’t lift him up at all.

Liu Rui is just kneeling there, “Mrs Li, I beg you. I will kowtow to you!”

After he finishes, he is about to knock his head on the ground. Yuexi couldn’t stand it any longer, “Well, well, I promise you, don’t do that, I will go with you.”

Liu Rui looks up at her in surprise, “Really?”

Yuexi nods silently, and Liu Rui quickly stands up, comes to the passenger side of the car, and opens the door for Yuexi. Yuexi hesitates for a moment and then goes into the car.

Liu Rui drives very fast. He is a good driver. Finally they arrive safe and sound.

Liu Rui brings Yuexi to Li Fengjue’s “old place” and stops the car. Just as Liu Rui is about to get off, Yuexi stops him and asks him a question, “He always punishes you. Why are you so willing to do this for him?”

Liu Rui lowers his head slightly and doesn’t answer right away. After a moment of silence, he says, “I owe too much to Mr Li, even if he takes away my life, that is not enough to pay back.”

After saying that, Liu Rui gets out of the car, walks in a room alongside Yuexi. She sees Li Fengjue resting his face on the table, the ground strewn with empty wine bottles and debris from the broken bottle.

Liu Rui explains: “Yesterday, Mr Li and you had a quarrel at the gate of the court, and then he came here. He has been drinking since then. If I don’t give him wine, he will get angry. But if he continues to drink like this, he could die.”

Yuexi looks at Li Fengjue, nodding. Liu Rui doesn’t speak any more, and silently walks out and closes the door.

Yuexi cautiously walks around the wine bottles strewn on the floor, and slowly approaches Li Fengjue, only to see his face red and his eyes half closed. He occasionally lifts up his head and swallows a large sip of wine into his mouth.

She has barely walked up to Li Fengjue’s side when she hears a big noise produced by broken glass. The man in front of her, with a wave of his hand, slams the empty wine bottle against the wall, yelling, “Wine! Wine! Give me more wine!” ”

“You can’t drink like this anymore.” Yuexi finds her heart sore, looking at Li Fengjue who is so drunk.

“Who are you?” Hearing the sound, Li Fengjue suddenly stands up. He moves one step towards Yuexi and looks at her from above.

The strong scent of alcohol rushing to her face makes her nauseous. Li Fengjue lowers his head, trying to open his eyes to see clearly who the person in front of him is, “You…”

The minute he says that, Li Fengjue begins to vomit. Yuexi is taken aback, and quickly comes up to him again to support him and pats him on the back lightly.

After vomiting, Li Fengjue suddenly throws himself on her, Yuexi can barely sustain his weight, she loses balance and thrown to the ground, falling on the wine bottles on the floor.

Yuexi struggles to push him away. She calls Liu Rui in and asks him to help carry him away. However, Li Fengjue doesn’t completely lose his consciousness and refuses to leave.

So Liu Rui has to find a room here and puts him on the bed, leaving Yuexi alone to take care of him.

Yuexi grunts, but when she looks back at the filth on Li Fengjue’s shirt, she steps forward and reaches out her hands to unbutton his shirt without thinking too much.
