Then Yuexi gets in the car. In the car, Chen Ying says proudly to Yuexi, “I have already told Mrs. Liu to prepare a few more dishes. Now she is ready, waiting for us to go back to celebrate.”

Sure enough, when they arrive home, Mrs. Liu has already prepared a large table of dishes. Seeing them come back and everyone wearing a happy face, Mrs. Liu knows that the result must be good and she is very happy too.

“Miss Bai, Miss Chen, Mr. Ouyang, come in, come and have dinner.”

Chen Ying looks at the table piled with dishes. Her eyes light up. She just couldn’t help it, because Mrs. Liu’s really good at cooking, “Wow! Mrs. Liu, so many delicious dishes.”

Mrs. Liu knows that Chen Ying especially likes her dishes. She smiles and gives her a chicken leg. “You told me earlier, so naturally I have prepared enough foods.”

Chen Ying takes a bite of it and looks at Mrs. Liu with a bit of scorn, “Mrs. Liu, you are putting me in a very difficult situation.”

Mrs. Liu is a little confused for a while, “What’s the matter? Why? Isn’t it good? It is delicious. I’ve tasted it.” Then, she also picks up a chicken leg, takes a bite, and becomes even more puzzled. “Isn’t that good?”

Chen Ying says, “But… it’s too good. It’s so delicious. I can’t stop eating every time. I always eat too much, and I put on a lot of weight recently!”

When Mrs. Liu hears this, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Hey, I was terrified just now. You, Miss Chen, you are not fat at all, don’t worry. Just eat.”

Chen Ying’s eyes light up, but she still hesitates, and asks weakly, “Really?” Mrs. Liu smiles and nods.

Yuexi on the side can’t stand it anymore. She raises her hand to grab the chicken leg in her bowl, “If you don’t eat, I will help you eat it. I can’t bear seeing you waste it.”

Chen Ying immediately panics, and quickly stops Yuexi, “Go away, who told you I won’t eat it, I’m just tasting it.”

After finishing that, she takes a big mouth of the chicken thigh. Yuexi laughs and she looks at Ouyang Mu embarrassedly, “Sorry, this is Chen Ying, this is exactly the woman she is .”

Ouyang Mu shakes his head, “It’s okay. It is good. Every day, everyone has to wear a mask, but when at home and in front of friends, we can finally relax, remove the disguise, and show our real self.”

Chen Ying is still chewing chicken legs, and when she hears Ouyang Mu’s words, she nods repeatedly, “That’s right, you are a natural barrister. You are indeed knowledgeable, and what you say is very thought-provoking. I just treat you as a friend. So I don’t care about my self-image. Come on, cheers.”

Looking at the wine glass raised by Chen Ying, Ouyang Mu quickly raises his, “It is my honor to be Miss Chen’s friend.”

Chen Ying squints, “Oh, you are really sweet, but your eyes should be on little Yueyue.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Seeing Chen Ying winking at her, and Ouyang Mu also looking at her, Yuexi could not help but blush suddenly, she raises the wine glass in her hand, “Ouyang, thank you so much today. Because of you, we have such a good start today.”

Ouyang Mu clinks the wine glass with Yuexi and says, “You are welcome. It is just the beginning. They were just caught off guard by us. When the court opens next time, maybe they are ready, it will not be this easy. ”

Chen Ying keeps eating, and finally swallows a piece of meat. “Yes, I saw it all. That lawyer was almost made mad by Li Ya. I guess, she couldn’t have revealed everything to him. But that’s understandable. It is really very hard to expose everything and maintain a good public appearance.”

Yuexi nods, “Yes, but she saw it this time, too. She is in very dangerous situation now, and her lawyer will definitely not let her go on like this again. She will definitely clarify everything so that he can find a place to attack us. Then, it really depends on you, Attorney Ouyang.”

Ouyang Mu smiles and raises the wine glass in his hand, “It is my duty.”

After the celebration, Ouyang Mu goes back early, saying that he needs to attend to something else. As for Chen Ying, she is lying on the sofa, rubbing her belly and groaning.

Yuexi is really made speechless by her, “Look at you!”

Chen Ying looks at her grievously, “But it’s really delicious.”

Yuexi could only sigh, and then gives her some pills to help digestion and helps her go upstairs so that she would rest there tonight.

The next court session is far away, and Ouyang Mu asks her to stay at home and rest. And all the matters of the case are left to him.

Yuexi feels relieved, she doesn’t have to take care of anything, just eating and drinking at home every day, and occasionally spend some time together with Chen Ying.

On this day, she is pulled out by Chen Ying again to go shopping, but what makes her speechless is that in no more than an hour after she came out, Chen Ying receives a call. She feels very sorry, and Yuexi could do nothing but let her go back to work. And then she wanders on the street alone.

Before she realizes, it is already getting dark. When she is just about to head home for dinner, she spots a man inside a restaurant.

Li Fengye has just finished his work and comes to this place to have dinner. While waiting for the meal, he turns around and sees a woman on the street outside looking at him.

Li Fengye is taken aback for a moment, then smiles and waves to the woman outside.

Yuexi looks at the man in the restaurant, the corners of her mouth lifting. What a coincidence. After hesitating for a moment, she takes out her mobile phone and calls Mrs. Liu to tell her that she will not go back for dinner, and then walks into the restaurant.

Yuexi walks to the dinner table and then sits on the opposite of Li Fengye, “What a coincidence.”

Li Fengye smiles, “Indeed, it’s a coincidence, you must haven’t eaten yet?”

Yuexi shakes her head, “Well, I was just on my way back for dinner, but then I saw you.”

“It seems that I have to invite you to dinner as a compensation.” Li Fengye calls the waiter, and orders something for Yuexi.

He takes a sip of wine and looks at Yuexi and asks, “By the way, how is your wound?”

Yuexi twists her neck gently, “It was not badly injured. I was too fussy at the beginning, but now it is almost completely healed.”

“That’s good, after all health is the most important thing.” After that, Li Fengye is silent for a while, “I heard about the court session.”

When Li Fengye talks about this, Yuexi couldn’t help being a little embarrassed. As a husband who wants to divorce Li Ya, Li Fengye must be very embarrassed, too. So until the court ends, he didn’t show up.

“Perhaps, you would think that I was too mean to her. Since I married her, I should treat her better, right?” Li Fengye is shaking the red wine glass in his hand without looking at her.

Yuexi is surprised for a moment, and nods slightly hesitantly, “Or you are too focused on your career and don’t give her much attention …”

Li Fengye’s face suddenly turns cold, “Maybe I am not a generous person, but I have never been stingy. But she, she is not qualified.”

Yuexi is a little dumbfounded, she is not qualified? Is it so serious? “Did she do anything to you?”

Li Fengye’s eyes suddenly falls on Yuexi like a knife, “Do you really think I am willing to marry her?”

Yuexi wants to nod at first, but then she realizes that, if Li Fengye really wanted to marry her, he wouldn’t have this attitude towards her. Thinking of this, she suddenly understands why he wants to divorce her. So, Li Fengye was also forced to marry her at the time, maybe even tricked into this relationship.

Li Fengye takes back his eyes, takes a sip of the red wine in the glass, and says softly, “But it doesn’t matter anymore, because everything will only be over, including her and the things she has done.”
