A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

She is reluctant to admit that, so she says, “It’s out of the question, we’re just college classmates.” Li Fengjue looks up at her with his jaw tightened. His eyes look gloomy, “You’d better stop having any fantasies about him. Gong Benli Li and Ouyang Qing are already engaged. I heard that they will get married at the end of the year. Ouyang Qing excels in almost every aspect: a prestigious family, a very good education, and a good look and a good figure. Do you think who would give her up and choose a stupid woman instead? ”

Yuexi frowns and gives him a dissatisfied look. She has already got over Gong Benli and moves on with her life. Ouyang Qing is a fine woman, So what? What does that have anything to do with her? Moreover, since last time they met, Chen Ying has already done her research to know everything about this Ouyang Qing. She also feels that the two are cut out for each other.

That’s her first love, a beautiful dream when she is young. Deep in thought, Yuexi doesn’t respond to his question. She drinks her wine silently, either irritated by Li Fengjia’s remarks or feeling pity for herself for the unfulfilled dream or lost youth, who knows?. Li Fengjue doesn’t stop her, concern, jealousy or bitterness beginning to well up in his eyes.

They come back home after dinner. Yuexi takes off her shoes and directly throws herself onto the bed. Without taking off her dress, she holds a pillow in her arm and closes her eyes. Li Fengjue pulls her clothes and tries to drag her off the bed. “Yuexi, you must take a bath before you sleep!” “This is my bed, I will decide whether I take a bath or not…” Yuexi mutters.

Li Fengjue drags her a few more times, but Yuexi clings tightly to the bed board. Looking at her lying on her stomach on bed like a dead pig, with arms and legs wide apart, Li Fengjue grunts, “Yuexi, if you dare to drink so much wine in the future, I will definitely punish you, making you unable to get out of bed! “” I want to drink more, One more glass … “She groans unconsciously. After a long while, who knows how much time has passed, she finds a comfortable position for her head and then she falls asleep.

She seems to dream of a long dream. In her dream, Gong Benli wears a suit, the smile in his eyes affectionate. Standing beside him is a woman in a wedding dress. She looks very hard at her face. To her surprise, she finds it is herself! She doesn’t need to pinch herself to realize that this is just a dream, because she knows that only in her dreams, could she look at him that way. However, even though they stand real close, she couldn’t see his face clearly.

Yuexi unconsciously reaches out and hugs him. And he also kisses her back passionately. His moves are extremely gentle. It feels like all his tenderness and affections are melted into that kiss … “Yuexi, Yuexi?” A familiar sound rings in her ear. Yuexi opens her eyes with difficulty and sees an enlarged face appearing in front of her. Frightened by what she sees and made fully awake now, she suddenly opens her eyes and begins to scream in shock.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Li Fengjue?” His hands rest on her waist, and there is a wicked smile on his face. “I didn’t expect you to be so passionate. You hugged me when you slept last night…” Stop saying that!” Yuexi flushes, even her neck red in embarrassment. After all, she can’t tell Li Fengjue that it is someone else in her dream.

Seeing her face flushing red, Li Fengjue’s eyes sparkle. He smiles wickedly and turns over to press her under his body. “You have seduced me for so long. Since you are so enthusiastic, if I don’t make a move, I will let you down.” He finishes his sentence, not flushing with shame or embarrassment, he presses his cool lips against hers. These kisses are long and gentle, just like those kisses in the dream.

With his face this near and the familiar smell surrounding her, Yuexi falls for him again. Two hours later, Yuexi lies exhausted in bed, with Li Fengjue’s arms holding her. She presses against his chest and says softly, “Chen Ying is my best friend. I hope you’d better not hold prejudice against her. Everything she does is for my sake.”

“Um.” Li Fengjue utters a simple syllable without arguing with her this time. “We have known each other since when we were young. Her family was very complicated-her father was addicted to gambling while her mother was very sick. She did very well at school. She often went home with scholarships but her father spent it all.”

She looks up at his chin and her voice is soft, “You may never understand how people would struggle and fight for only one dime in order to survive. Every time I was bullied by a somebody, she would stand up for me. Even if her face got bruised and swollen, she didn’t complain a word. This is the way Chen Ying is.” Yuexi stops suddenly. The story suddenly comes to a halt. What happens next concerns Chen Ying’s privacy. She doesn’t want anyone else to know that, so she stops just in time.

One day in her sophomore year, Chen Ying was raped by a wretched teacher. That’s the reason why she always feels she herself doesn’t deserve Gong Benli. After that, she abandons herself and turns into a girl who no longer believes in men. Yuexi doesn’t know why she wants to tell Li Fengjue about it. Maybe she just thinks that since they are living together, they will share everything together.

They cuddle up to each other for a while, then Li Fengjue’s cell phone rings. Yuexi glances casually and sees the caller ID shown on the phone -It’s Grandpa. Li Fengjue refuses to answer the phone, but the phone keeps ringing. Sitting up from the bed, Yuexi turns around, “There must be something urgent happening, Pick up the phone now and just see what he is going to say.”

After saying that, she goes to take a bath in the bathroom, but she is worried. She has seen his grandfather once. She still feels terrified when she looks back at that moment. Why does his grandpa want him to go back home now? Her hair is still wet, when Yuexi walks back to the bedroom. But Li Fengjue is already gone.

Looking around the empty room, Yuexi feels empty in her heart. Suddenly she begins to worry about him. Recently it has become a habit. Does she fall in love with him? If she doesn’t love him, why does she worry about him? She becomes very indecisive when making choices or decisions because of him. Li Fengjue calls her stupid, and she later realizes that she is indeed very stupid. How can she fall in love with a man who marries her not because of love, but for practical reasons , and a man who always wants to take advantage of her and gains something out of the relationship.

She curls up the corner of her lips to force a bitter smile. Yuexi cleans up and goes to the company. Sagging with exhaustion and hangover, she doesn’t feel like doing anything the whole morning. Looking at the phone on the table, for serval times, she almost picks up the phone to call Li Fengjue to ask him how things are going now. However, with her fingers stretching out to reach the phone, suddenly she dismisses the idea.

When Chen Ying comes in to fetch the documents, she sees Yuexi absent-minded. She waves her hand in front of her eyes, “Hey, what’s up? It looks like you are missing someone.” Yuexi stares blankly for a moment, “Oh, I’m okay. “Chen Ying suddenly leans over. She looks around and then says in a low voice, “Have you ever thought about it, since now the Xu family is going bankrupt, will the Li family give consent to his marrying that Xu Ziqi?”
