A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

She wears a light pink dress. With her hair waving casually behind her, she looks elegant and lively. She puts a smile on her face, “Yuexi, you are finally here.” Her eyes dwelling on Ouyang Mu, she asks, “Is this your friend?”

Yuexi stands up and nods. Then she looks at Li Ya and says: “Yes, he also saved my life. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to talk to you here now. So I go out of my way to treat him here to express my gratitude. But I don’t expect the business to be so good today that all the seats are booked up.”

The muscles on Li Ya’s face stiffen slightly, but she recovers instantly and says to Ouyang Mu, “My name is Li Ya and what is your name?” “My name is Ouyang Mu, Mrs. Li. Yue Xi mentioned you to me.” Li Ya says with a smile, “Oh, I heard of your name also. You’re the president of Ouyang Group. I am really lucky to meet you here and I am also very grateful to you for saving Yuexi’s life.”

Ouyang Mu smiles and holds Yuexi by her waist. “I also want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to save her. She is my destiny.” Li Ya is stunned for a while, “You two…” Yuexi catches a glimpse of Li Fengjue’s eyes cast upon her. She feels the urge to explain but eventually keeps silence.

Ouyang Mu casually casts a quick glance at Li Fengjue and then his eyes fall on Li Ya, “Why? What’s wrong with the two of us being together?” ” How could it be wrong? You’re a perfect match for each other.” Li Ya waves her hand quickly. “No, no, how could it be wrong? She is a fair lady and you are a gentleman. Plus, you are both single. So, naturally, there is nothing wrong. It is just that I don’t expect it to happen so soon. After all, Yuexi is newly divorced. Never mind, it is your own business. Mr. Ouyang, you are so young and successful, and I am very happy for Yuexi to have you to take care of her.”

From the way she talks, Yuexi doesn’t believe that Li Ya feels happy for her. She must be very happy for herself. Yuexi doesn’t interrupt her, just silently watching them talking. Occasionally her eyes will drift and fall on Li Fengjue who is drinking alone.

Li Fengjue seems to feel the gaze of Yuexi. He suddenly looks up at her. Yuexi is startled and, like a frightened rabbit, she quickly shifts her gaze away and pretends to look at Ouyang Mu again. Ouyang Mu takes notice of everything, so he turns his head and looks at her with a radiant smile. Then he takes her slightly nervous small hand into his.

Yuexi subconsciously wants to break free, but the big hand grabs hers tightly. She looks into Ouyang Mu’s eyes and stops struggling, letting him clutching her hand. “Mr. Ouyang, I want to propose a toast to you.” Suddenly, Li Fengjue lifts the wine glass in his hand and says to Ouyang Mu. What is he up to?

Yuexi says quickly: “No, he can’t drink today. He, he came there by car.” Li Fengjue just raises his wine glass and looks at Ouyang Mu without saying a word. At this moment, Li Ya stands up, takes the bottle, and pours wine into Ouyang Mu’s glass. Then she says to Yuexi, “It’s okay, Yuexi. We have some drivers here. Just let them drive you home. What do you think, Mr. Ouyang?”

As she says, she puts down the bottle and looks at Ouyang Mu with a smile. Ouyang Mu raises the wine glass, shakes the scarlet content in the glass. Then he curves up the corner of his mouth and says, “Since you insist, then it is better for me to accept that.” Then he raises the wine glass in his hand and says to Li Fengjue. “Let’s drink and paint the town red! Cheers!” Li Fengjue holds the wine glass and looks at Ouyang Mu. He clinks his wine glasses against his before taking a long swig of wine. Seeing them drinking so quickly, Yuexi frowns. She approaches Ouyang Mu and says softly, “Well, are you okay? Don’t drink it anymore.”

Ouyang Mu doesn’t say a word and just looks at Yuexi with a smile. He gently squeezes her hand with his left hand and shakes his head to signal to her that he is okay. Li Ya, who fills the two glasses with wine, now walks over. She smiles and also pours Yuexi a glass, “You have known each other for only a few days. I just don’t expect you two to have such an intimate relationship. Yuexi, you really care about Mr. Ouyang. Since they are drinking, come on, let’s drink too.”

Hearing her words, Yuexi suddenly feels the anger coming from nowhere. This woman is indeed wicked by nature. Since the first time they meet, Li Ya has been plotting against her, trying to set her up. Seeing Li Ya challenging her in this way, Yuexi also raises the wine glass, “Okay, let’s drink.” “I’ll drink it all. Serve yourself.” Seeing Yuexi drink up, Li Ya also empties all the content in her glass.

Yuexi sniffs softly and raises her head to drink it all. She swallows the liquid too quickly, feeling in burn the back of her throat, sending her into a violent fit of coughing. She is almost choked. Ouyang Mu quickly pats her on her back, “Take it easy, you can drink slowly. Let’s eat some foods first.” Then he picks up some foods and begins to feed her. Yuexi is now very uncomfortable and needs to do something to stop the choking, so without thinking too much, she eats the foods.

Li Ya watches them closely and then casts a quick glance at Li Fengjue. The smile on her face is bigger. She passes over a glass of water, “Yuexi, drink less if you can’t drink. It’s okay.” Yuexi doesn’t want to talk to her anymore, so she takes the water glass without saying a word. After a couple of sips, she finally feels better.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Seeing Yuexi feeling better now, Ouyang Mu is finally relieved. He looks at Li Fengjue and picks up the wine glass again, “Mr. Li, you proposed a toast to me just now. Now it’s my turn.” After saying the words, he directly raises his head and drinks up. Naturally, Li Fengjue doesn’t say much anymore and also drinks it all up immediately.

Then they keep drinking, one glass after another, without saying anything. The dishes are barely eaten. It doesn’t take long for them to empty the two bottles. They had clearly had too much to drink. Li Fengjue has an empty bottle settled loosely in his hand, while casting a quick glance at Ouyang Mu again and shouts, “More!”

Yuexi looks at them and frowns, “You two are both drunk. That’s enough drink. Don’t drink anymore.” Li Fengjue and Ouyang Mu look at each other without saying a word. Li Ya stands up and says with a smile, “It’s okay, don’t worry. They can drink more. Plus they haven’t drunk much.”

“Haven’t drunk much? “Yuexi looks at Li Ya coldly, “Today, I invited Ouyang Mu over to thank him, not to make him drunk. If you want to drink this much, then I will drink with you!” Li Ya puts on a smile, “Yuexi, I know you care about Mr. Ouyang. I didn’t mean that.”

Ouyang Mu also stops her, “Yuexi, don’t be like this…” “Okay.” Li Fengjue interrupts Ouyang Mu and agrees to what Yuexi says. Yuexi glances at him. Then she turns around and says to Ouyang Mu, “Don’t drink anymore. I’ll drink for you. If I am drunk, take me home.” “Okay, I’m here for you.” Ouyang Mu is silent for a while, then he nods.
