A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

The man standing in front of her has a long face. It is obvious that he hears everything. Yuexi is very embarrassed and totally at a loss about what she is supposed to do, so she just stands there. She turns her head angrily and glares at Chen Ying. The latter stands up embarrassingly and invents an excuse for herself and leaves immediately, “You two go on. I’ll go to work first. Maybe I will join you next time!”

Chen Ying picks up the bag, turns around and flees as if escaping from something. Yuexi is made even more embarrassed. Yuexi swallows saliva and justifies herself with a smile, “I was just joking, don’t take it to heart.”

“Why should I be angry when you are complimenting me? I just didn’t know women enjoy talking about this kind of stuff.” He says as he strolls in front of her. Yuexi blushes to the roots of her hair.

Although Ouyang Mu says he is not offended, his countenance still assumes an aspect of the deepest gloom. Yuexi cracks a smile and quickly changes the subject, “You said that you will come here late. Why are you here so early? Is there any news from the police?” “The investigation needs time. And if she really wants to hide from people who want to catch her, she will do it at all costs.”

Yuexi frowns, “What should I do now? I have already acted rashly and alerted the enemy. She will be more careful then. It will not be that easy to catch her red-handed next time.” Ouyang Mu curls up his lips, “As long as people have desires and greed, sooner or later they will let the cat out of the bag. It is just a matter of time. But we can’t just sit around and wait, doing nothing. We need to provoke them.” Looking at his slightly squinted eyes, Yuexi is lighted up, her eyes glowing. She comes forward and asks, “Did you come up with an idea?”

“Of course, but you need to cooperate with me.” Ouyang Mu looks her up and down and then shakes his head suddenly. Yuexi looks confused, and looks down at her dress, “What’s the matter?” “Be my girlfriend.”

What? Yuexi is stunned at what he says and her heart jolts suddenly. It takes her quite a long time to collect her thoughts. Last time, Chen Ying told her that he was interested in her. How come he confesses his love for her this soon? Seeing her standing there in a daze and her countenance painted with nervous expressions, Ouyang Mu takes a step forward and pats her on the head, “I mean, pretending to be my girlfriend.”

Yuexi takes a deep breath and finally feels relieved. If Ouyang Mu really confessed his love for her, she wouldn’t know how to respond. After all, he saved her life before. Thus, she couldn’t turn him down immediately. Well…

Luckily he is not interested in her. Realizing this, she pats her chest, “Why pretending to be your girlfriend?” “Are you stupid? Why does Li Ya make you a target? It’s only because she thinks that Li Fengjue is no longer into her anymore. So, she wants to get rid of you, her love rival. This is the only way to test your ex-husband, whom he loves more, you or her.”

He says, his shining eyes dwelling on her. “I don’t want to be involved. This is their business.” Though Yuexi says this, at the bottom of her heart, she wants to know the answer. “If you want revenge, you have to do what I say.”

After hesitating for a while, she raises her head and looks at Ouyang Mu. Suddenly she realizes this is the best way. She has to admit it. She is no longer in contact with the Li family, so there is no other way of getting the answer from the inside of the family. “But I …, I am tired of getting married, you know, I was fooled into marriage twice, Lingyun, Li Fengjue. Well, I don’t want to… I don’t want to marry again. I’m too tired.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you really marry me at this moment. Plus, I’m different from those men. If that is the woman I love, I’ll only spoil her instead of bullying her.” Ouyang Mu’s eyes are sparkling. Yuexi turns her head uncomfortably and nods casually, “Well, anyway, I have no other way now, just do as you said.”

The two of them make up their minds. Yuexi suddenly comes up with an idea, her eyes sparkling, “Last time Li Ya invited me to Fengheju for dinner, why don’t we go there tonight?” “If we go there too late, maybe they will leave Fenng City.” Ouyang Mu nods, his eyes falling on her clothes this time, “I don’t like your dress.”

He rests his chin in his hand, shaking his head. Looking at her vintage and worn dress, Yuexi scratches her head with embarrassment, “Women try to make themselves look as appealing as possible to attract men. I am already twice married and I am not in that mood…” “From today on, you need to dress up.” Ouyang Mu takes a step closer. In his eyes, Yuexi sees the reflections of herself. She looks in a bit of flap.

“Huh?” She doesn’t know how to react for a while. “But it doesn’t matter. If that person likes you, no matter how you look like, you will be the most beautiful person in his eyes.” Ouyang Mu’s serious look makes Yuexi’s heart beating faster. Who says he is a dumb person? Just see the way he is now, everything says he understands women and he knows how to please them. He has such a sweet tongue!

In the middle of her thought, Yuexi finds her grabbed by the wrist by Ouyang Mu. He pulls her outside without saying anything. “Hey, do we have to be this early? ” “Before we go to dinner, I will take you to another place.” Ouyangmu directly takes Yuexi to a shopping mall. He buys a dozen sets of outfits for Yuexi and they are all very expensive.

No, they are not expensive. They are dear! Each item has an at-least-five-figure price tag! Yuexi tries to talk him out of it, “One is enough. The money in my card… is only enough to buy one …” “Pack them all.” Ouyang Mu takes out a black card. Yuexi feels very uncomfortable. She isn’t that sort of a person who takes gifts for granted. Besides, the way he buys things makes him look like a sugar daddy. Just take a look at the expressions of the salesman!Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Yuexi wears a long face the whole time. Seeing this, Ouyang Mu frowns and asks, “What’s the matter? You don’t like the clothes? Are they ugly?” Looking down at the new outfit on her, Yuexi shakes her head and says, “They are really nice. This outfit is worth more than 100, 000 yuan, how can it be ugly?”

“Then are you angry with me?” Ouyang Mu doesn’t quite understand. Yuexi looks up at him suddenly and nods earnestly, “Yes, I’m angry with you!” “Why? Women all like beautiful clothes, don’t they?” Yuexi gasps after hearing this sentence. She feels compelled to change his opinions about women and tells him he is terribly wrong. How come he misunderstands women in this way? The man in front of her is obviously a straight dumb man.

Although Ouyang Mu doesn’t have any bad intentions, Yuexi still feels uncomfortable. Maybe she is too independent. She curls her lips, “Not all women like beautiful clothes… No, it’s not true… It’s human nature to like beautiful clothes. But you have to earn them by yourself. We tend to cherish those earned through our own efforts.” Ouyang Mu ponders for a long time, “It makes sense. ”

He turns his head and looks at Yuexi, embarrassed, “How about keeping this outfit that you are wearing, and I will return the rest.” Yuexi didn’t expect him to compromise on this issue so easily. Looking at him standing there just like a child who does something wrong, she smiles happily, “Okay, It’s a deal.”
