A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Yuexi is already very familiar with Fengheju. When she comes here, she calls the waiter and asks, “Are there any vacant seats?”

The last few times when she came here, there were very few guests here. But today, she doesn’t know why, it seems all seats are reserved or occupied.

The waiter says apologetically, “I’m sorry, it is all occupied. Maybe you should wait for a while.”

“That’s okay, I am just wondering if Mr. and Mrs. Li are here right now.”

Upon hearing this, the waiter seems to recall something, “Are you Miss Bai who came here the other day? Mr. and Mrs. Li are still there, are you here to meet them?”

Yuexi shakes her head, “I’m just asking, could you please say hello to them for me?”

The waiter takes a look at Yuexi and Ouyang Mu, and says quickly, “Of course. Although all the seats are reserved now, the private room is still available. Let me take you there.”

“Is it ok?” Yuexi asks deliberately.

“You are the boss’s friend. It doesn’t matter, and I will report to him later.”

They are taken to that private room, and the waiter opens the door, “Please come in. I will inform my boss you are here. Excuse me.”

Yuexi and Ouyang Mu quickly exchange a look at each other, and they push the door open and walk in. As soon as they enter the door, they smell a strong smell of alcohol.

The light inside is dim, Yuexi turns on the light, but in the next second, she feels her heart is in her mouth.

Li Fengjue!

Yuexi has never thought that she would meet Li Fengjue again here, as if tied by a thread, no matter where they go, you can always meet each other by chance.

Her first instinct is just to turn and walk away. She is just about to do that when out of the corner of her eyes she catches a glimpse of Li Fengjue turning his head and staring at Yuexi and Ouyang Mu with gloomy eyes.

He is sitting on the floor leaning against the sofa with one leg curled and the other straightened. The wine bottles are strewn on the floor. He only wears a thin white shirt. The button near his chest is torn open, revealing his strong chest inside.

Looking away, Li Fengjue picks up another bottle of wine and begins to drink.

Yuexi originally thought that he would not be here. He and his brothers were seldom seen being together. And Li Fengjue is still in charge of the company, he shouldn’t have time to come out. But what a surprise and what a coincidence!

Yuexi is in a dilemma. While she is at a loss about what she is supposed to do, Ouyang Mu takes her hand and walks in. When she passes by Li Fengjue, she suddenly stops.

Looking down at Li Fengjue, Yuexi explains uneasily, “The waiter thought there was no one here. If we disturb you, we will leave.”

Yuexi holds Ouyang Mu’s hand, ready to leave.

“Since you are already here, how about having a drink together? ” Li Fengjue slowly stands up from the ground, with his cold eyes fixed on their hands.

Yuexi stops and takes a deep breath, feeling Ouyang Mu’s hand gently pulling away, and then patting her on the back of her hand.

Ouyang Mu takes a step forward, picks up a bottle of wine from the ground and looks at Li Fengjue with a smile, “Mr. Li, it’s been a long time since we met. I didn’t have time to say hello last night. I will drink it up first.”

Li Fengjue curls his lips, “I never thought we could meet here in such a circumstance. What a drama!” As he says, he also raises the bottle.

They begin to chat and drink, laughing all the time. Yuexi stands by and looks at them. After a long while, Ouyang Mu motions her to sit down on the sofa.

Sitting closely to Ouyangmu, Yuexi asks in a low voice, “You know each other for a long time?”

Ouyang Mu nods, “Yes, he is a business associate. There was an opportunity for cooperation, but for some reason, the cooperation was not achieved. ”

“Oh……”

He leans over to whisper in her ear. In an outsider’s eyes, their relationship is very intimate.

Staring at them, Li Fengjue suddenly says, “Mr. Ouyang, you don’t know the relationship between me and Miss Bai, do you?”

Miss Bai, yes, of course I know, everything. She is no longer Mrs. Li. She is now Miss Bai.

“I know that you are her ex-husband.” Ouyang Mu deliberately emphasizes the word “ex-husband”.

Li Fengjue’s eyes inflamed, he casts a quick glance at Yuexi, who is looking at him also, with a flicker of smile on her mouth.

“Can you tell me how you met each other? ” Li Fengjue picks up a goblet from the table and fills it with red wine. He now fixes his eyes on the glass, and in such a dim light, Yuexi can’t see his face clearly.

Ouyang Mu hooks his lips and turns to look at Yuexi and smiles.

“It is a long story. I lost my way in the mountains, and she rolled down from the mountain and I saved her life. She saved mine, too. That is divine intervention: God’s Hand at Work.”

They exchange a look at each other and smile. Li Fengjue’s jaw tightening, he presses his lips together, “It sounds like a fairy-tale.”

“Life is a drama. Knowing her is the happiest thing in my life.”

He says that, his fiery eyes falling on Yuexi, which makes the latter feel very uncomfortable, and she hooks her lips helplessly and laughs embarrassingly, without making any comments.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The air conditioner in the room is not turned on, but Yuexi still feels cold. She raises her head just in time to see Li Fengjue’s sharp eyes cast upon her. She looks away and turns her head to look at Ouyang Mu.

She deliberately asks, “Did the police find the criminal? I’m so scared to live alone at home.”

Yuexi’s voice is soft when she says this. People would think she is scared, but only herself knows that she is guilty.

Ouyang Mu reaches out and touches her head, gently comforting her, “Don’t be afraid. I will not let anyone hurt you! I’ll call to ask about the situation.”

He slightly nods at Li Fengjue, and then opens the door and walks out.

Yuexi feels that cold gaze has been following her, so she also looks up at Li Fengjue. And she sees his brows slightly knitting together, as if feeling uncomfortable because he drinks too much, but the expression on his face is calm and pale, as if he had known about this for a long time.

Yuexi clenches her fists and she bites her lower lip hard.

Is it he who did it?

They have been living under the same roof for two months, but not long enough for him to develop any form of emotional attachment to her at all. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.

Ouyang Mu is not back yet. It seems like a year in a minute. Yuexi can’t figure out what to say. In the room, there is only the sound of Li Fengjue drinking.

Then the door is opened, and in comes Ouyang Mu again, “I called the police and they told me that there may be some results tomorrow.”

Yuexi nods, but she looks a little absent minded. Her heart beats irregularly because of Li Fengjue.

Just when she is thinking about it, the door is pushed open again and Li Ya walks in.
