A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Li Ya takes out her mobile phone and takes lots of photos of Yuexi and Gong Benli being together.

Yuexi knows for sure that Li Ya is going to show the photos to Li Fengjue, but now it doesn’t matter, even if there is no Li Ya, their relationship is over.

With a bitter smile still in the corner of her mouth, Yuexi suddenly loses her consciousness after sensing a severe pain in the chest.

When she comes to, she finds herself in a hospital ward, the smell of disinfectant filling her nose.

Yuexi opens her eyes confusingly and sees a man resting his face on the edge of the bed asleep. It is Ren Huan.

She saw him in the hospital before, and he seems to be a good friend of Li Fengjue.

Yuexi looks at him suspiciously, and moves her body slightly, feeling that her body is very heavy, and she has no strength to move, “I… what’s happened to me? Why am I here?”

Startled by the slight movement, Ren Qun wakes up suddenly and looks at her in surprise.

“Oh, my God! You finally wake up. You have been asleep for two days and three nights. If you don’t wake up, I’m afraid I will be sent to hell with you.”

Ren Qun says excitedly, walks to the table and pours a glass of boiled water for Yuexi.

After taking a sip of the water, Yuexi feels a lot more comfortable, and then she asks, “Why are you here? You are an attending doctor. How can you be here to take care of

me? I don’t think I am that important.”

After listening to this, Ren Qun’s face turns green, “Do you think I want to stay here? I spent all these days taking care of you, wishing you could wake up early. I didn’t go out to have a real meal and a good sleep for a long time! Li Fengjue told me, if anything goes wrong with you, he will kill me! He can literally do anything, so I can’t afford to take any risks!”

Looking at his funny look, Yuexi chuckles to make fun of him, ” I almost forget, who is it that slept so soundly just now? I heard him snoring like a pig!”

Giving her an angry look, Ren Qun says, “Hey, have some mercy on me, no matter what, I did take care of you for so long. If you don’t want to thank me, and at least don’t ridicule me, I really don’t know whether the two men are both blind or why…”

Two men?

Looking at her puzzled look, Ren Qun continues, “One is Li Fengjue, and the other is, of course, Gong Benli. This is the first time I saw him. I heard that it is not easy to see the master of the Gong consortium. I never thought I could see him carrying you all the way to my hospital with such a worried look on his face. And he was really anxious. There must be something between you two!”

He looks like he smells some scandals and Yuexi’s face instantly becomes ugly.

Ren Qun continues without looking at her, “As long as I am here, I will not allow you to cheat on my best buddy, so I called Li Fengjue and I didn’t know what they said to each other. Gong Benli is a sensible man, he knows he is not in a position to do anything, so he leaves.”

Yuexi’s heart sinks. What did they say to each other? Who cares? After all, since last time they met, since Yuexi chose not to tell him the truth, perhaps in Gong Benli’s heart, she is already a woman full of lies.

Although Yuexi feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, she finally sighs with a relief. This may be the best result for them.

Let everything stay at the bottom of her heart. After all, a lot of water under the bridge!

Now she has become a woman indeed totally beyond recognition. It is better for them not to see each other again in the future. That is the best policy for her, for him and for everyone.

Thinking of this, Yuexi raises a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Hey, it seems that you don’t worry about your husband at all. He is in hot water now, now that he’s been caught, he has to go home and face the music. He must be facing his punishment now!”

“Punishment?” Yuexi’s eyes wide open in astonishment, and she quickly asks, “How is he now? Will he be fine?”

Ren Qun cracks a smile and says indifferently, “Fortunately, you still have a heart and still care about your husband. You don’t have to worry about this. He just cut off Xu’s hands. It is nothing a big deal. Li Fengjue has money. He can handle it! In these days there is nothing that cannot be settled by money.”

Really? After the last time she went to Fengdu, she realized that Li’s family is really a dangerous place. That fear still lingers in her heart since then. Li Fengjue must be in real trouble this time.

Ren Qun tries to console her with a few more words and he looks very tired, so Yuexi lets him leave to have a rest.

Lying on bed, she tosses and turns. Since last time it was Li Ya who saw her and Gong Benli together, she is now 100% sure that the photos must have been forwarded to Li Fengjue already. If he sees those pictures now, what will he think?

Yuexi is now very afraid to see Li Fengjue, just like a child who is not sure what will await him after doing something wrong.

Just as the proverb says, “Speak of the devil, and he is sure to appear. Early the next morning, even when she is still asleep, she can sense a pair of sharp and cold eyes cast upon her, staring at her.

When she opens her eyes, she sees Li Fengjue standing right beside the bed, his eyes gloomy and fierce. When silent, he looks a hundred times more horrible and terrifying than he is at other times. His eyes settle upon Yuexi as if waiting for her to speak first.

Silently sitting up from the bed, Yuexi nervously says, “I went to see Gong Benli just for business, you know, to talk about the details of the contract.”

“You resigned, didn’t you?” He looks at her suspiciously, his tone revealing his doubt and distrust.

Indeed, she made up her mind to resign at the time, but now her justification seems to be such a lame excuse in Li Fengjue’s eyes.

He glances coldly at her, a mocking smile creeping from the corner of his mouth, “Bai Yuexi, I really underestimated you. I had never imagined such a scenario that the heir to the Gong consortium has such a keen interest in you. It’s totally beyond my comprehension how a divorced woman like you could be a mermaid in reality with seductive calls? Did you cast a spell on him or something? You really are very good at seducing men.”

Stung by his words, she casts a quick glance at him, with a depressed look in her eyes. Since Li Fengjue thinks she is such a kind of woman, it would be futile for her to explain more.

Although feeling hurt, Yuexi doesn’t say anything.

The room is so quiet that they can hear nothing but their own breathing.

After a long while, Yuexi raises her eyes and looks at him and asks, “Is that you who went to my company that day? Why were you there that day? Did you want to spend Valentine’s Day with me?”

Li Fengjue looks at her indifferently, sneering, “You think too highly of yourself. The reason why I wanted to take you back to Fengdu is nothing but to explain the relationship between us.”

So that explains everything.

The car she saw that day was his. She feels a little bit guilty at the very beginning, but when she realizes she just flatters herself thinking he cares about her, she feels much better now. In Li Fengjue’s heart, she is nothing but a pawn in the game. He just wanted to use her for the last time.

Yuexi squeezes out a smile, ” Oh, it makes sense, you are right, we should have explained our relationship clearly.”

Casting a quick glancing at him, she tries to stabilize her mood and says in an unaffected manner, “Anyway, thank you for what you did to Xu Tianyun for me.”

Li Fengjue purses his eyelids half-shut, “Do you really think you have a place in my

heart? The reason why I want to teach him a lesson is just because he even dares to touch my woman. It’ nothing more than that. If I am married to another woman, I will do this all the same. Nothing will change! It’s just a matter of face. It has nothing to do with you! Don’t take yourself too seriously!”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
