A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

“I am afraid not, after all, they can gain nothing out of this relationship.” Yuexi says indifferently.

“This is where the problem lies.”

“What problem?” She looks at her suspiciously.

Chen Ying looks at her resignedly, “Are you kidding, the Xu family is defeated, who do you think is the biggest beneficiary? Do you really think that it is you?”

“Well…” Yuexi is even more puzzled.

“Stupid! Don’t take something just at face value! On the surface, it does look like Li Fengjue helped you seek your revenge, but in retrospect, when the Xu family falls, he doesn’t have to marry the woman he didn’t want to marry, so apparently, he isn’t doing that just to help you, he is doing that to help himself!”

Yuexi suddenly gets the point, and suddenly her heart sinks.

Chen Ying continues, “Therefore I am very afraid that you may fall in love with him because of that, I will remind you again: he did that not just for you. Don’t trust a man! Guard against his sweet tongue! You see, he can flirt with one woman but at the same time, behind your back, he is destroying another! You see how complicated a man can be. I am afraid that you are being deceived. Love is kind of a game: whoever falls in love first will lose miserably in the end!”

Yuexi freezes there, as if being stabbed in her heart.

She finds herself in love with Li Fengjue already. It happens perhaps right after she knows he took revenge for her or perhaps long before that, who knows?

He is obviously a dangerous man. She keeps telling herself she should stay away from him. But the more she reminds herself, the more she finds her emotionally attached to him, long before she realizes that, this emotional attachment has already taken root in her heart, but she just did not notice it.

However, Chen Ying’s analysis suddenly makes her realize that her love for him is genuine and sincere, but her love is not respected and recognized, and Li Fengjue does not love her back…Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Chen Ying frowns and looks at Yuexi, “Are you listening to me? Remember, never trust a man!”

“Of course, you keep dining in my ear about that every day, how can I forget that! A man like Li Fengjue is not a suitable match for me at all. I get your point long ago.”

Hearing Yuexi’s words, Chen Ying nods in satisfaction.

“I am rest assured that you say this, and you must remember what I said!”

After Chen Ying leaves, Yuexi is upset all day, her heart heavy, and she is not in the right mood to do anything.

Finally, it’s time to get off work, and she does not go to the supermarket to buy food as usual, but returns home as if she has lost her mind. When she walks to the door, she hears the sound of the car pulling up.

Li Fengjue is back.

Pushing the door open, Yuexi is just about to walk inside the house when she hears her name called.

“What’s up? You seem to be out of your mind.” He steps forward quickly, feeling her forehead with his slender fingers, “It is not hot.”

Gently brushing aside his hand, Yuexi reluctantly cracks a smile, “Nothing, I’m kind of tired.”

He puts his hand around her shoulder and they enter the house.

Yuexi used to fantasize a lot about her love life. In her fantasy, the man whom she lives together with is intensely in love with her, in return, she also loves him more than the rest of the world.

But is Li Fengjue that man?

“What are we going to eat tonight? Do you want me to take you out for dinner?” Li Fengjue takes her to the sofa and they sit down.

“There are some leftovers in the refrigerator, we can just…”

Before she finishes the sentence, Li Fengjue already stands up, opens the refrigerator, and dumps all the foods wrapped in plastic.

“Why do you waste food this way?”

“Forgot your stomach pains already? Want to get sick again? How can you eat leftovers?” Li Fengjue frowns. He wipes his hands and walks to the sofa and sits down.

“Sometimes I will be on a business trip for a long time. If you don’t feel like cooking, just go to restaurant. You can use my money as you wish.”

Yuexi has a warm feeling in the chest, but her smile still reveals a trace of bitterness. “He is worried about her health! Is that a sign? Does that mean that he loves her too?

Li Fengjue takes Yuexi to a restaurant for dinner. When the meals are served, Li Fengjue suddenly says, “Grandfather went back home, and he let me take you there too.”

Yuexi feels her hand holding the chopsticks shaking slightly but she pretends to say with an unaffected voice, “Is that a trap or something?”

“I will never let them hurt you.” Li Fengjue says seriously.

Her heart pounds violently, and now every word that Li Fengjue says seems to be able to influence her emotions. However, what Chen Ying said early in the morning keeps coming back, reminding her to stay alert .

She asks casually, “Why do you want to destroy the Xu family? Is it because you don’t want to marry Xu Ziqi, so in this way you can finally get rid of her, right?”

Li Fengjue raises an eyebrow and looks at her with admiration, “Under my guidance these days, you have finally become a lot smarter.”

“If I didn’t make the first move, would you do that no matter what?” Suddenly seized with panic, Yuexi finds her heart pounding faster, her throat dry, and her palms moist, she immediately lowers her head a little, and impulsively she begins to exert great pressure on the chopsticks and clenches her fists.

Li Fengjue frowns, ” On the bright side, your little trick is at most a fuse. I had thought if I were married to you, my family would let me go, but I didn’t expect them to push me that way. Then I am left with no other choices: the Xu family has to go, and their downfall is just a matter of time, that will happen sooner or later.”

Relaxing her hands now, Yuexin softly says, “If my memory doesn’t cheat me, I remember that the other day, you said to me that you are going to do this just to help me take my revenge, then today, you finally admit that you did it for your own sake.”

“Why can’t you look at things from another perspective? Now the result is a win-win situation, you seek your revenge, and I get rid of the Xu family also.”

It turns out that what Chen Ying said is true.

She is just making a fool of herself.

Li Fengjue is not consumed with jealousy when seeing her flirting with the two brothers of the Xu family, nor is he angry when seeing her hurt by Xu Ziqi. He did all these just for his own sake, her revenge is just a byproduct, an unintended result.

She buries her head lower, and she eats the food without saying anything.

Li Fengjue frowns, and asks, “Why you are so weird today? What’s up?”

Yuexi is frustrated, but she is still trying to control her emotion and raises her head, smiling, and says, “It’s nothing.”

Seeing her grinning reluctantly, Li Fengjue’s eyes dim, his brows knitting together, “You…”

“I’m stuffed and I will wait you outside.”

After saying that, she gets up and goes outside.

On their way back from the restaurant, Yuexi doesn’t say anything. Li Fengjue has a sullen face. The moment he comes into the living room, he throws himself into his work. Yuexi lies on the sofa and looks at him quietly.

He has a perfect face. He is extremely serious at work. The sight of him working beside her makes her feel very comfortable. Even if he does not speak, she can feel the charisma, just like a magnet, that makes it hard to move her eyes away from him.

Suddenly, Li Fengjue turns around to look at her, “You are too unrestrained by staring straight at me that way, do you want to eat me?”

Perhaps Li Fengjue is deliberately teasing her to liven up the atmosphere.

Casting a contemptuous sniff, Yuexi gets up from the sofa and scurries up to the second floor into the bathroom.

She takes off her clothes, and rubs the shower gel into foam when she suddenly hears a bang. The door is kicked open.

Yuexi looks at Li Fengjue calmly, “Can you be more careful next time? My door is expensive!”

His unrestrained eyes on her, Yuexi can see a wicked smile creeping on the corner of his mouth, “Next time? It seems that you are seducing me.”
