A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Yuexi recalls what Li Ya said before she left, “Next time you go to Fengheju, your bill is on me.”

So, it means that day Li Ya saw her?

Her heart beats faster abruptly, and there is a bold guess in her heart.

Putting the clothes in the bag, she leaves the women clothes department and then goes to grocery to buy a lot of meat and vegetables and plans to make a grand dinner today. She happily walks out of the mall.

Why not take the dress? Anyway, It doesn’t cost her a penny.

Back home hurriedly, Yuexi rolls up her sleeves and starts to work. She follows the recipes downloaded from her mobile phone and makes several fancy dishes. She is looking forward to Li Fengjue to go back home.

At nearly ten o’clock in the evening, Yuexi has already fallen asleep. She is sleeping soundly on the sofa, and suddenly hears the sound of the door snapped open, and then the light above her head is turned on.

Opening her eyes with difficulty, she hears her own hoarse voice, “You are back.”

The moment Li Fengjue lays eyes on her, he is incredulous, frowning in doubt, “Why didn’t you go to sleep? What were you doing here?”

His eyes are attracted by the table which is piled up with fancy dishes. They look very delicious.

“What is this?”

Yuexi puts on her slippers and picks up a dish, and says with some pity, “I thought you would come back earlier today. The dishes are now cold already. I’ll put them in the oven. If you don’t want to eat this, I can cook something else for you with the remaining ingredients.”

Li Fengjue pulls the bow tie loose and looks at her suspiciously. “Is it your birthday today?”

“No.”

“Then is today a big festival?”

“No. An ordinary day.”

“Then why did you suddenly cook so many dishes? And you said you cooked them for me? Did you have a fever? Or did you put poison inside?” Li Fengjue steps forward, pressing his long fingers on her forehead to check if she has got a fever.

Yuexi knocks off his hands, putting the dish on the table, akimbo, “What? I am being kind to you, and you are suspicious of me?”

“It’s just that you’re too abnormal, which makes me a little bit uncomfortable.” Li Fengjue stretches his hand over her shoulder and they sit on the sofa together.

Yuexi glares at him, “How ungrateful you are! Didn’t I treat you well ? I used to cook a lot of dishes for you.”

Li Fengjue thinks for a moment, and looks at the dishes on the table. He finds a lot of delicacies like the hot pepper tripe, stir-fried bullfrog, the braised pork ribs, and some exquisite pastries. He shakes his head.

“What you usually put on table is nothing but scrambled eggs, egg noodles, ham eggs, fried noodles with ham…”

“Stop!” Casting an angry glance at him, Yuexi threatens, “If you don’t want to eat them, I’ll dump them now!”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He immediately picks up the chopsticks and tastes all of them. His mouth full, he doesn’t even forget to shower her with praise.

Looking at him, Yuexi can’t help laughing. She specially prepared a bottle of red wine and two goblets.

“What the hell are you doing?” Li Fengjue frowns.

“Of course there is something worth celebrating. The Xu family is almost over. This occasion must be celebrated.”

Li Fengjue picks up the goblet and snorts coldly, “I thought there is something big.”

Yuexi also picks up the wine glass, her eyebrows curving, and she laughs like a fox.

“What do you think it is? I couldn’t find anyone to celebrate with me. Chen Ying is very busy at work, and you are my only friend left. I just want to have a good drink with you. ”

Li Fengjue frowns, ” Am I just your spare tire in your heart?”

She picks up the glass and clinks with him, and rolls her eyes on him, “You should be grateful and content.”

Li Fengjue takes a sip of red wine lightly, and seems to be in a good mood, without refuting her.

Yuexi raises an eyebrow and looks at him, “Do you want to know what caused Xu’s bankruptcy?”

“You mean you are involved in this?” He is not surprised at all, with his long fingers gently shaking the red wine glass, his expression very leisurely.

“You’re not stupid at all. The last time I hanged out with the two Xu family brothers, you were consumed with jealousy. Now it proves that my decision was correct. The Xu family was made a total mess by its internal strife. Xu Tianyun was fighting with his wife, Han Yumeng, and it turns out that Han family is not easy to deal with, and they immediately and permanently terminated the cooperation with the Xu family. Just like the Chinese proverb says, if you want to subdue a snake, you should hit the snake 7 inches below its head. That is fatal. Xu family can never recover from such a fatal blow.

Li Fengjue’s eyes show a sneer, “Do you think this is all your credit? They two brothers must be blind to be involved in a fight because of you.”

Yuexi wears a long face and grunts in dissatisfaction. “It’s just that you don’t know how to appreciate me. There is a long line of men who have a big crush on me. The line is long enough to wind around the earth!”

He shakes his head helplessly and puts down the goblet on the table. “Do you think the Xu family relies on the support of the Han family to gain a firm stand in business? Then how did they survive before the marriage?”

Yuexi curls her mouth and looks at him expectantly. “Then you mean to tell me that the very person who really caused this situation is the one who sells Xu’s stock behind the scene, and that man is you, right?” ”

Turning his head to look at her sly eyes, there is a flash of appreciation in Li Fengjue’s eyes.

“You stupid woman, why did you suddenly become clever?”

Although she figured it out already, she just didn’t expect that Li Fengjue would really help her. She thought he was just talking.

Looking at his face within reach, Yuexi’s heart misses a few beats, followed by indescribable excitement.

According to her and Chen Ying’s analysis, the Xu family and the Li family are friends for many generations, and the interests between the two parties are vital to the relationship. However, Li Fengjue has just started his business, and there is no way to compete with the Xu family. He will definitely not help Yuexi bring down the Xu family even for the sake of their relationship .

She just didn’t expect that he really did it!

Yuexi says with a smile, “This time I really have to thank you. If it were not because of your cruelness and your quick action, Xu family couldn’t collapse so easily.”

Li Fengjue cast a sharp eye at her, “Can you give me a more favorable remark?”

With a smirk, the sly eyes glow. “In short, I just want to thank you. Although you are sophisticated, and you always take advantage of me, but this time I’m really very grateful! ”

He gives her a glance, “You wanted to thank me, so you made these fancy dishes specially for me?”

Yuexi nods solemnly, drinking up the red wine from the goblet, then refills the glass, then empties the content again.

Li Fengjue smiles helplessly, “You stupid woman, do you know that you shouldn’t drink red wine like this, it will make you drunk?”

He has barely finished the words then he sees Yuexi half close her eyes. Looking at him with a faraway look, she murmurs , “I won’t get drunk, I won’t…”

With a bang, her head falls directly on the table.

Li Fengjue calls for a long time beside her, and does not wake her up. He gives her a disgusted glance, then puts her on his shoulder and comes to the second floor to gently put her on the bed.
