A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Yuexi waked up suddenly. She opens her eyes, and Li Fengjue appears in her sight, “If you want to sleep, then sleep. Don’t cover yourself with the quilt. You will be suffocated.”

As soon as he finishes saying that, Li Fengjue frowns, “Did you cry?”

“I didn’t cry.” Yuexi quickly touches her eyes with her hands.

Li Fengjue sits down by the bed, grabs her hands and moves them away, and looks at her again, “Why are your eyes red like this if you didn’t cry, and what is on your face? Why is this bed sheet wet?”

Yuexi pulls her hand out of his hand, struggling to sit up. Li Fengjue has a pair of observant eyes. Knowing that she is transparent in front of his eyes, she has to admit, “I just thought of my father suddenly.”

Li Fengjue helps her sit up and puts a pillow behind her back. Hearing what she said, he is silent. For a while, he doesn’t know what to say. He just says, “People can’t come back to life after death. ”

There is silence in the room, and neither of them speaks any more. After a long while, Li Fengjue stands up and walks to the side table.

He returns to the bed with a thermos cup. Then he says, “Let’s eat some foods first.” Just like a few days ago, he puts down his arrogance and feeds her bit by bit.

After eating, he fetches water, wipes her hands and face. After a few days, Li Fengjue becomes familiar with all these. His movements are no longer so stiff, and he wipes her smoothly.

Seeing Li Fengjue return to the desk, turning on his laptop to start working after finishing this, Yuexi’s is sneering silently in her heart. If it weren’t for Li Ya’s presence today, perhaps she would believe him again. It’s a pity that everything he did was just putting on a show.

Yuexi leans against the pillow, as usual, playing with her game on her mobile phone. But what is different is that her mind is not on the game at all, her eyes always floating to Li Fengjue, and her mind keeping thinking about what Li Ya said.

“Isn’t the game fun?” Suddenly, Li Fengjue, who should have been busy with work, raises his head and looks at her.

Yuexi is startled by his sudden utterance, “What? yes, it’s fun. You shocked me, you should focus on your job.”

Li Fengjue raises his eyebrows, “I think you don’t think it’s fun, otherwise why do you keep staring at me?”

“You are too narcissistic. Why would I stare at you? You think you are more fun than my game?” Yuexi doesn’t look at him, instead she stares at her mobile phone again. She deliberately stretches out her finger and touches the phone surface, pretending to play with the game.

Li Fengjue just looks at her for a few seconds, then lowers his head, his attention again on his laptop, and resumes work.

But Yuexi is still absent-minded, the phone in her hand is already locked, but her fingers are still playing on the dark screen.

Night comes quickly, but Yuexi couldn’t sleep, and she lies motionless on bed. Li Fengjue over there seems to have finished his work. He turns off the computer gently, and then stands up.

When Yuexi hears his movement, she closes her eyes and pretends to fall asleep, because every day after Li Fengjue finishes his work, he would come to her bed to check if she is asleep.

Just as is expected, Yuexi hears the calm footsteps slowly and gently approaching the bedside, and he lightly tucks her in the quilt. But he does not leave. By listening to the faint sound of the chair, Yuexi knows that he actually sits down by the bed.

Yuexi could do nothing but pretend to be soundly asleep with her eyes closed. She works very hard to make her breathing steady. Li Fengjue sits there and looks at Yuexi for a while, then he stretches out his hand again, and lightly lands on Yuexi’s face, very light, really light, so light that can Yuexi hardly feel it.

She clenches her fist slightly, which allows herself to continue to pretend. But she really couldn’t help but admire Li Fengjue for that, he could act so well that he doesn’t forget to act even when she is already asleep. It is a pity that he didn’t become an actor. If he has a chance to work with the superstar Jin Qing, he must be a super actor.

But this is no big surprise, if it weren’t for his excellent acting skills, she wouldn’t be fooled by him. She could only herself to blame for being too naive.

Li Fengjue does not leave, at least not until Yuexi finally falls asleep.

In the morning, after feeding Yuexi breakfast, Li Fengjue leaves the hospital. Yuexi stays in the room by herself until Ouyang Mu comes in.

Seeing Ouyang Mu, Yuexi’s suddenly in a better mood now, and she greets him happily, ” Here you are!”

Ouyang Mu also smiles and nods, and puts the fruits on the table, “Well, how are you feeling today?”

Yuexi stretches out her hand and makes an “ok” gesture, “Well, I am better, I feel almost recovered, so I can get out of here very soon.”

As she says, Yuexi shakes her head slightly. Ouyang Mu smiles and looks at her, “Okay, then I will go through the discharge procedures for you in these two days and pick you up. It’s almost time for court, too.”

Speaking of this, Yuexi looks at Ouyang Mu with a concerned look on her face, “Li Ya came here yesterday, and she was wearing the same bracelet. It should have been made by the same designer.”

Hearing this, Ouyang Mu’s smile instantly disappears, and he suddenly frowns, “Are you sure?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Yuexi says positively, “I am sure, it’s true, it’s exactly the same.”

Ouyang Mu lowers his head, as if thinking about something, and then raises his head to look at Yuexi, “No matter what, I won’t let you lose this lawsuit. No matter what she does, fake is always fake.”

Yuexi lowers her eyes, “Well, I know, I’m not afraid of losing the lawsuit. Thank you for helping me.”

Ouyang Mu stretches out his hand and pats her on the shoulder. He smiles and says, “If you want to thank me, just trust me that we will win.” Yuexi looks at him and laughs, “I believe you. I am waiting to see how Li Ya is defeated.”

Ouyang Mu nods, “Well, I promise you, you will see that. You sue Li Ya, and she sues you, in view of the relation of the two cases, the court notified me that it will investigate the two cases together. The court appearance will be three days later, since you will be discharged from hospital then, so you can appear in court.”

About showing up in court, Yuexi still has some small expectations, “yes, I will be discharged from hospital tomorrow at the latest. When the time comes, I will wait to see your performance.”

“Okay, just wait for a good show, let me know when you leave the hospital, and I will pick you up. That’s it.” Ouyang Mu smiles. Just like that, everything is settled.

Ouyang Mu doesn’t stay too long, the court is about to begin, and there is still a lot of preparation to do. He is very busy with her case recently.

In the afternoon, Chen Ying is finally done with her business and comes back.

Chen Ying puts a pair of earrings on Yuexi’s hand. The earings are so exquisitely made so they must be very expensive. Yuexi looks at Chen Ying, who looks guilty, smiling and says: “You prodigal girl, you are squandering your money. I am literally your sister. Do you have to waste money like this? Don’t you think it is a better idea if you treat me to a big meal?”

Chen Ying is very happy to hear that. She steps forward and holds Yuexi’s arm, “Of course, not a meal, ten meals are okay, you can choose to eat whatever you want.”

Yuexi lightly taps her nose naughtily, “This is what you said, don’t forget it.”

“Of course I won’t. How dare I forget that? You are my Little Yueyue. You can ask anything you want from me.” Chen Ying says proudly to Yuexi again, “I’m telling you, this time, I am really goanna be rich.”

Yuexi looks at her amusedly, “You secured that client?”

Chen Ying nods, “Of course. I am good. But compared with that client, the biggest gain this time is the Ren family from Fengdu.”

“Ren family?” Yuexi is a little surprised.
