A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Ouyang Mu doesn’t stop the movement in his hand, instead he nods faintly, “Um.”

He is not surprised at all.

Yuexi frowns and looks at him puzzledly, “You know all of it?”

“Em.” It is again a one syllable word.

She curls her lips and asks, “What else do you know?”

“I know you have been married twice, and the reason you went to Lingcheng City this time was to find your mother, and you just quitted your job.

“Who are you? An intelligence agent? We have only known each other for a short time, how could you know all this privacy about me?” Yuexi hooks her lips and says jokingly.

“As long as you want to know about a person, there is nothing that can stop you, by the way, this is not probing into your privacy, it is called the processes of getting to know each other.”

Seeing him gently rubbing medicine with his head bent and his eyes fixed on her arm, Yuexi is in a daze for a while.

This man is really good, just because she calls in the middle of the night and he risks his own life to come to her side to rescue her. Even when they have just met and they barely know each other, he chooses to trust her and gives her the food he reserved for himself that is not enough for two.

She does not intend to hide it from him.

“Actually, the reason why I fell into the water last time is because someone pushed me from behind.” Yuexi says in a serious voice.

“Have you found the murderer?” Ouyang Mu still doesn’t stop his movements, but suddenly raises his head and glances at her.

“You believe me?”

“Yes, I believe everything you say.”

Facing the man who trusts her, Yuexi decides to confide everything to him to unburden her heart, and then begins to relate to him how she was deceived into a marriage and what happened between her and Li Fengjue.

When the story comes to the end, Ouyang Mu stops his movements and says, ” Keep water away from your wound and keep it clean! Be careful.”

Putting those medicines in the cabinet again, he sits on the edge of the bed, looking at Yuexi in her eyes, “Ah! I see! I had thought there must be something very unusual. Every time I see you, you seem to be troubled by something on your mind, you always look absent minded, as if worrying about something. I had thought you are falling in love with someone, so you look that way.”

Yuexi laughs, “I am married twice already, and now I don’t have the mood to think about those things.”

Ouyang Mu shakes his head, and then says seriously, “You look much younger for your age. If you don’t tell them your true age, no one would believe you are already twice married. I originally thought you are just a little girl in your late teens.”

Yuexi is amused by his words, after all no woman would be unhappy after hearing this.

“I didn’t expect that you, such a stern and reserved person like you, would actually flatter me in this way.”

“Flatter you? I just tell you the truth.” Ouyang Mu says with a sincere tone.

“Okay, but my first impression of you…” Yuexi suddenly stops in the middle of the sentence and looks at him with a foxy smile.

“What’s your first impression of me?” Ouyang Mu seems anxious and eager to know the answer.

“It is just that you must be in your thirties, and you must be married and have children, and you are the kind of person who takes good care of others. It looks like that kind of person who is very good at getting to grips with their homes and lives.”

Yuexi ridicules him deliberately.

Ouyang Mu is not angry, but calmly says, “A man will truly become a man when he reaches a certain age, say, 30, and you have already said it that I am a good man who can take good care of his family, so I feel flattered if you think I am already in my thirties.”

They chat on and laugh for a while. Yuexi checks the time and gets up in a hurry, “It’s so late now, I should go home now.”

“Going home at this hour? Are you going to tire me out?” Ouyang Mu is obviously unwilling to send her back.

Yuexi frowns, “A man and a woman spend the night together in the same house? I go home to protect your reputation. You are an eligible bachelor, or a diamond bachelor, if someone knows it, it will stain your name.”

While she is talking, she stands up. Ouyang Mu reaches out and holds her shoulders, “You now are afraid of staining my name. Why didn’t you say that when we were back there in the valley and slept together?”

Yuexi glares at him fiercely, not wanting to talk to him again.

“Just stay here tonight. Tomorrow I will send you back.” After he says this, he leaves the room.

This room is exquisitely furnished, elegant and majestic. The dark blue is the dominant color, matched with classic black, a strange but wonderful hybrid of romance and mystery.

Yuexi knows that this is Ouyangmu’s room, and she feels quite uncomfortable.

They don’t know each other for a long time, but every time she meets him, it seems that

Yuexi dispossesses him of something in some way. Thinking of this, she covers her head with the quilt. She doesn’t know if it is an illusion that she can even smell Ouyang Mu’s scent.

Hurriedly pulling the quilt aside, she is lying there with her eyes wide open and her face red to the ears, she couldn’t fall asleep now. She tosses and turns. As long as she closes her eyes, the image of Li Fengjue’s face stained with blood and him fighting with two men will pop out.

She doesn’t know how long time passes, and she finally feels asleep. When she wakes up again, she casts a glance at the time and she is in shock. It is already 11 o’clock!

No wonder Ouyang Mu would say that she is a careless girl. That is true. It’s inconceivable that a woman can fall asleep in a man’s house unguarded and she could be in such a deep sleep and doesn’t wake up until eleven o’clock!

She struggles to sit up in bed despite the severe pain in her body. When she turns around, she finds that the bed sheet and quilt are all covered with blood stains.

My God, this is her first time she sleeps in a man’s house for the whole night, and she soils his bed, Yuexi, Yuexi, you are such an embarrassment!Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She is thinking about how to fix it, whether to wash it or not. Suddenly the door is pushed open, and a kind-faced woman walks in. She seems to be the housekeeper here.

“Miss Bai, Mr. Ouyang asks me to wipe your body. You stay where you are and don’t move.” She says as she walks forward.

Wipe her body? Yuexi takes a deep breath and waves her hand quickly, “No need, I can take a bath myself!”

She insists, ” Mr. Ouyang said contact with water is not good for your wounds to heal, so it would be a better idea for me to help you.”

Yuexi takes a few steps back, and saying no repeatedly, “No, no, no, there is no need. I can do it myself, if you really want to help, please help me wash the bed sheet.”

After these words, she turns around and runs into the bathroom, tapping her chest to calm herself down.

She is not a vegetable. The idea of an unfamilar person helping her to wash is quite embarrassing.

Yuexi takes a look at the bathroom supplies, only at that moment she suddenly remembers that she has no towels or clothes for change.

Opening the door a little bit, she asks softly, “Excuse me, are there any clean clothes I can wear?”

“Yes, Mr. Ouyang has already prepared them for you. I’ll fetch them for you.”

After finally wiping her body clean with the wet towel and putting on clean clothes, Yuexi is already bathed in sweat, and the pain is still unbearable.

As soon as she walks out of the bathroom, she sees Ouyang Mu coming in with a folder in his hand and he hands it to her, “Take a look at it. This is the indictment I drafted for you. With my help, you will definitely beat Li Ya. I have told you that I can help you to avenge the assault.”
