A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Li Fengjue’s soft voice makes Yuexi feel not that worried and she suddenly calms down. She looks at Li Fengjue with tears in her eyes and then looks at Ren Jin who emerges from behind as if she is waiting for him to confirm that.

“Rest assured. It’s nothing serious. It’s like a stiff neck, but it’s a little bit more serious than a stiff neck. Still, it’s not a big problem. You also bruised your forehead. With the fixation, you’d better not move around.” Ren Jin doesn’t use the professional terms but tells Yuexi about her situation in a very easy-to-understand way.

Compared with Li Fengjue, Yuexi feels that she trusts the doctor more. Although she barely knows him. From the brief contact, Yuexi knows that although they are friends, Ren Jin and Li Fengjue are completely different types of person. She can’t understand how these two people can become friends.

After telling Yuexi her situation, Ren Jin shakes his head helplessly, “Well, tell me about it. How come instead of him, you’re the one who gets hurt?” As he says, Ren Jin points to him, pretending not to see Li Fengjue’s fierce looks. He says in that way, making the hearer believe if Li Fengjue were the one lying here, he would burn firecrackers to celebrate.

However, when Yuexi looks at Li Fengjue again as Ren Jin points to Li Fengjue, she finds that he is not entirely uninjured. There is a bandage tied on his forehead too. Obviously he is also wounded. Ren Jin looks at Yuexi again, “Fortunately, you didn’t drive the car too fast. Thanks to the protection of the air sacs, you didn’t get injured too seriously. Otherwise, since you didn’t wear your seat belts, you would be put in the ICU now.”

Yuexi looks at him, feeling sorry, “I was in a such a hurry that I forgot to do that.” Actually, instead of being in a rush, she was too angry at that moment, so she forgot to fasten the seat belt. As to why Li Fengjue didn’t fasten the belt either, maybe he was thinking about something else.

“Those who don’t know you may think you are worrying about our hospital’s revenue. Although we want to make money, we really don’t need you to help us like this.” Ren Jin smiles and looks at Yuexi. He knows that she is just slightly injured, so he causally makes some jokes. However, Li Fengjue who is next to them feels unpleasant. He pushes Ren Jin aside, “There is nothing you can do now. You can leave now.”

Ren Jin is annoyed by what he says, “Hey! Li Fengjue, you are so ungrateful! As soon as I have done my job, you drive me away! You have forgotten how anxious you were when you came to the hospital to ask me to help you? You almost killed me if I moved a little bit slower. Now you are sending me packing!” Seeing that he won’t leave, Li Fengjue doesn’t want to be polite anymore and kicks him directly in his butt. A clear footprint is seen on the white coat. “You interrupt her rest.”

Ren Jin almost jumps up. He stares at Li Fengjue with his eyes wide open, “You are going too far! If you want me to go, just say the word. Why do you have to go physical?” It seems that Li Fengjue is about to eat him alive if he doesn’t leave now. Facing his angry look, Ren Jin is defeated.

He walks towards the door quietly. Then he slams the door with a loud noise and leaves the ward. After sending Ren Jin away, Li Fengjue sits down beside Yuexi in the chair. With her neck fixed, Yuexi can only look at him from the corner of her eye. Li Fengjue reaches out to hold Yuexi’s hand. Yuexi wants to pull it out, but to no avail. Li Fengjue is too strong.

After giving it two more tries, seeing she can’t succeed, Yuexi stops resisting and let it be. “I have asked Liu Rui about that— You didn’t lie to me—Li Ya sued you.” Li Fengjue says that slowly. As expected, he doesn’t believe in me and has to check it with Liu Rui. He trusts Liu Rui more than he trusts me. Well, if he believed in me, I wouldn’t be lying here anyway.

Yuexi wears a long face and snorts. Then she closes her eyes without saying a word. Seeing her behaving like this, Li Fengjue lets go of her hand and stands up, “You take a good rest. I will let her drop the case.” After saying that, he leaves the ward, the sounds of his footsteps gradually fading away.

Noticing that he is no longer in the room, Yuexi opens her eyes and looks around from the corner of her eye. Seeing him not here, she withdraws her eyes and scans the room for her bag. It is on the chair beside her. Beyond her reach. Yuexi sighs as she finds herself unable to get up without help. She rings the bell on the bedside to call the nurse, asking her to help her to take the mobile phone out of her bag.

After grabbing the cell phone, Yuexi dials Chen Ying’s number immediately. She hears the roaring sound of the wind. “Hey, are you driving?” “Yeah, I just finish my work and call it a day. I’m about to go back. What’s the matter? Where did you go yesterday?” “Um… that…” “What’s the matter? What are you so mumbling? Has something happened?”

Yuexi hesitated a little bit. She remembers just because she kept nagging and complaining in Li Fengjue’s car, she made Li Fengjue distracted, which almost killed them. Now Chen Ying is also driving at this moment. If she knows that Yuexi is in hospital, she must be distracted also. “Hey, Little Yueyue, speak to me. Don’t scare me.”

“Ah, I’m all right. Emm, don’t be upset. Just hear me out.” “Well, I’m not upset, you just go ahead and speak.” “I was slightly injured, and now I’m in hospital.” “What! Hospital! Is it serious?” “Don’t be too upset. I’m alright. You drive safe. I’m in the same hospital where I stayed last time.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Okay. You wait there, I’ll be there soon.” She hangs up the phone directly. It doesn’t take long for Chen Ying to rush into the hospital ward. As soon as she enters the door, Chen Ying sees Yuexi’s head wrapped all up and her face suddenly turns pale.

“Yuexi! What’s wrong?” Chen Ying runs to Yuexi’s bed in two steps. She grabs her hand and asks anxiously. Yuexi quickly explains, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m okay. The doctor says my neck is a bit sprained, so it has to be fixed temporarily. It doesn’t hurt too much.”

Chen Ying calms down a little bit after she hears what Yuexi says, but she asks again, “Are you really okay?” Yuexi wants to nod, but since she can’t move at all, she just blinks her eyes. She stretches out her hand to hold Chen Ying, “Really. You can ask the doctor if you don’t believe me. I’m fine.”

Chen Ying finally breathes a sigh of relief, “Ah, I’m almost scared to death by you.” She rolls her eyes and Yuexi laughs. Just as she laughs, she hears her stomach gurgling, “I’m so hungry. Do you bring me any foods to eat?” Chen Ying is amused by her, “Are you kidding? How can I take any foods with me? Plus, I just rush over in such a hurry. How can I have any of it?”

Yuexi doesn’t say a word but looks at her with a bitter face. “Fine, fine, you wait for a while, I’ll go out and buy you some. What do you want to eat?” Chen Ying can do nothing about her. Hearing that she will have something to eat, Yuexi immediately cracks a smile, “It doesn’t matter, as long as there is something to eat, I’m almost starved to death.” Seeing that Chen Ying is about to go out, Yuexi feels genuinely happy.

“What are you doing here?” Chen Ying’s voice comes from the outside. From the way she speaks, Yuexi can know she is not pleased to see that person. Who is outside? It can’t be… “I came here together with her. Have you seen her?” As expected, it is Li Fengjue. With this voice, Yuexi suddenly hears the door opened again. Chen Ying stares fiercely at Li Fengjue who just opens the door.

“Little Yueyue, what is going on?” Chen Ying rushes back to the room and asks Yuexi. Yuexi also feels uneasy since she doesn’t know how to explain. Therefore, she has to say, “I will explain to you later. You just go ahead to buy me some foods, I am very hungry now.” Chen Ying points to Li Fengjue, “I warn you. If you dare to bully Little Yueyue again, you will have to pay for it.” After saying that, she casts a quick glance at Yuexi on bed and then turns around and leaves.

Li Fengjue walks in and closes the door. Seeing him coming back, Yuexi closes her eyes without saying a word. Li Fengjue doesn’t say anything either. He just sits down silently waiting. When Chen Ying comes back, he gets up and leaves. Before leaving, he says to Chen Ying, “Take good care of her.”
