A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Ouyang Mu pulls over. Yuexi looks around, puzzled. Ouyang Mu unfastens his seat belt and says with a smile: “A surprise, you will never know how delicious the food is here.” Without explaining much, he gets off the car and opens the door for Yuexi.

Ouyang Mu walks in front and Yuexi behind him. After a while, they stop in front of a small restaurant, “Here it is.” Ouyang Mu looks back at Yuexi and stretches out his hand to motion to her to come inside first. When they walk in, they see a dozen tables and chairs inside. Maybe it is not the time for dinner, there are only two or three people inside. The restaurant is not big, but it looks neat and clean. The decoration of the shop looks also plain.

Ouyang Mu is ordering food now. Yuexi finds it unbelievable. As the president of a large consortium, how could he come here to eat! Now Ouyang Mu finishes ordering. He hands over the menu to the waiter beside him, “Okay, that’s it. And the rest of the dishes will be the same as usual.” It seems that he is a regular customer, and he is very familiar with the menu.

Ouyang Mu pours a glass of water for Yuexi, “I came to this restaurant by chance many years ago. Although they just serve homemade foods here and it is not a fancy restaurant also, I came back here regularly, I just miss the familiar taste. No other places can compare with this restaurant. It gives you a sense of home.”

What he says arouses Yuexi’s interest, “Then I have to try it. I’m almost starved to death now.” She barely ate anything last night and threw up almost everything. So, there was pretty much nothing left in her stomach. She didn’t feel hungry when she fell asleep, but now she feels like she can eat a horse.

” Good things are worth waiting for. I promise you will like it.” Ouyang Mu smiles, with a little pride painted on his face. He is just like a child who holds a report card waiting eagerly for the parents to praise him, “Oh, I almost forget, are you looking for me for something urgent? ”

Ouyang Mu takes out the laptop from his briefcase. He turns on the laptop and places it in front of Yuexi, ” I made some changes to the indictment yesterday. Take a look.” Yuexi quickly reads through it. When she looks up at Ouyang Mu again, she is thinking. Is this guy really just interested in practicing a lawsuit? From this indictment, he is much better than those professional lawyers.

She pushes the laptop forward and says, ” I believe in you. You are professional.” “If there is no problem, I will use this version. Since you trust me, I will not let you down. “Ouyang Mu nods and puts away the laptop.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Yuexi takes a sip of water. She hesitates a few minutes before she says, “I think you know it clearly. Although it seems that we are dealing with Li Ya, we are actually dealing with Li Fengjue and even with the entire Li family.” Ouyang Mu holds the glass and takes a sip, looking very confident, “I obviously know it. From the moment I decided to help you, I knew it.”

Yuexi wants to say something more. He interrupts her. “I have already thought about it before I decided to help you. Don’t worry, I have gone through much tougher cases before. The Li family is hard to deal with, and so am I.”

Since he says so, Yuexi knows that she doesn’t need to say anything more. At that time, the food is served. It smells so good. She finds her mouth starting watering. Ouyang Mu smiles and picks up the foods for her, “Let’s eat first.”

Yuexi nods and puts the food into her mouth. Her mouth stuffed with foods, she couldn’t say anything now. The moment she takes the first bite, she raises her eyebrows. Indeed, just as Ouyang Mu says, it is very delicious. Besides, she is as hungry as a wolf. She devours in large, greedy gulps, totally forgetting table manners.

Ouyang Mu sits there with a smile on his face and looks at her quietly. He picks up food for her from time to time and pours a glass of water for her. Feeling her stomach almost full, Yuexi now raises her head slightly and casts a glance at Ouyang Mu secretly, only to find that person regarding her with a funny look on his face. She suddenly blushes. She lowers her head and stretches out her hand to draw some napkins to embarrassedly wipes her mouth. Then she looks at Ouyang Mu, “They are really delicious.”

“I’m glad you like it.” Ouyang Mu smiles and nods, then he seems to remember something, “Oh, yes, I almost forget, I know who broke into your house the other day.” “It’s Li Fengjue, isn’t it?” Yuexi takes a sip and says calmly. Ouyang Mu freezes for a moment, “You already knew it? My friend from the police station says that according to the surveillant footage, he entered into your house right after I took you back to my home. And he stayed there for about two hours.”

Yuexi shakes her head silently, her eyes fixed on the floor. Ouyang Mu frowns, “What’s the matter? Anything wrong?” Yuexi nods again and looks up at Ouyang Mu, “It’s not him.” “Huh? Not him?” Ouyang Mu turns around suddenly, “Do you think it was Li Ya?”

“I’m 100 percent sure of it. Li Fengjue just tries to cover up for her. He wants to bear the blame for Li Ya.” Yuexi seems calm, not revealing her emotions. Ouyang Mu stares at her for a few seconds, then nods, “Okay, I see. I will let my friends look into it further later. We try not to disturb them, so that they think we don’t know about it yet. ”

After a pause, he says again, “Tomorrow I will present the indictment to the court. You just leave the rest to me, but you must also be prepared. Once it starts, nobody knows what will happen later.” Yuexi solemnly says to Ouyang Mu: “I believe in you. Chen Ying can’t help much in this matter, I can only rely on you.”

Ouyang Mu looks at the woman in front of him. He knows that even if she doesn’t ask for his help, he would definitely do it for her. Ouyang Mu says again when they arrive at Yuexi’s house, “Remember what I told you before. Don’t forget it.” After saying that, he casts a quick glance at the bed sheet that have been hung dry on the balcony then his eyes fall on Yuexi’s neck at last. Seeing that she tightens the collar nervously, after a moment of silence, he doesn’t say anything else and leaves.

Yuexi closes the door and leans back against the door. She stretches out her hand to touch her neck. She gropes on her collarbone as if she could feel the traces that Li Fengjue left when they were having sex. After a short while, Yuexi dresses up again and leaves the house alone. She comes to a cafe and sits down in a seat in the corner. After she sits down, she looks in the direction of the door. Yuexi seems to be waiting for someone.
