A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Two bottles of red wine are quickly brought up and placed in front of them.

Yuexi pours herself a glass and then she looks at Li Fengjue, “You want to drink more? Ok, I’ll drink with you.” There is an expression of anguish in Li Fengjue’s countenance. He reaches out for the bottle when Li Ya stops him.

She says softly to him: “Jue, let me drink with Yuexi. You can’t make Mr. Ouyang think that we are bullying his sweetheart.” Li Fengjue’s eyes shift from Ouyang Mu to Yuexi and finally fall on Li Ya, and then he nods slightly. ”

Look how he is willing to take her advice! She looks at Li Fengjue in a mocking way, then she holds up the wine glass and says to Li Ya: “Cheers.” Li Ya smiles sweetly, and they drink it up at the same time.

Without saying anything, Li Ya and Yuexi drink several glasses of wine in a row.

Obviously, Li Ya is better than Yuexi in holding her liquor. She drinks like a fish and her face doesn’t change at all. Yuexi, however, is totally different, her face is flaming red and her eyes slightly closed. She is already drunk, but still sober. Knowing that she can no longer drink, Yuexi grabs Ouyang Mu’s hand under the table and looks at Li Ya and says, “Li Ya, I really envy you, do you know?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Li Ya is really stunned at Yuexi’s words. She must be really drunk. Li Ya smiles and asks, “Oh? Really? What do you envy about me?”

Yuexi smiles, ” I envy you for having such a good husband. You are married for so many years, and your husband has always been treating you so well. Unlike me, I am married twice, but neither of them ends well.”

As Yuexi says this, she unconsciously casts a quick glance at Li Fengjue, but immediately takes back her eyes when she realizes that Li Ya is standing in front of her.

Li Ya follows Yuexi’s eyes and regarded Li Fengjue with a troubled countenance. There is a trace of gentleness, some unresignation, and some pain in her eyes. “Yeah, Fengye has always been very good to me. I am so lucky to have him as a husband.”

Yuexi suddenly says, “I remember I saw you wearing a green bracelet. It is very beautiful and very special. It must be a gift from your husband. But I don’t see it today. I like that bracelet very much. May I take a closer look? ”

Frustrated by Yuexi’s question, Li Ya finds herself stammering, “Oh, ah, that is the engagement gift that Feng Ye gave me. I rarely wear it. It is a pity that I didn’t wear it today, maybe another time.”

Yuexi acts as if it was really a pity, “Well, that’s really a pity, I really liked that bracelet the first time I laid my eyes on it, I really want to take a closer look.”

Li Ya forces a smile, “Sorry, maybe next time when I wear it.”

Yuexi shrugs, “It seems that I may not have the chance. After all, you never know what will happen tomorrow. Just like me, on my wedding night with my husband, oh, my ex-husband, I was almost…”

In the middle of the sentence, she suddenly casts a casual and quick glance at Li Fengjue, “Oh, no, it’s the ex-ex-husband, who almost gave me as a gift to someone else. When I made my escape and went back home, I found my dad already dead. I was once kidnapped, held in captivity, and even pushed into the water and almost drowned. So you never know what will happen tomorrow. If you have something to do, like drinking alcohol or take revenge, or whatever, you have to do it quickly. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?”

Seeing Yuexi staring straight at herself, Li Ya couldn’t help clenching her hands. She smiles reluctantly and nods, “Yes, Yuexi, you are right.”

Yuexi stares at Li Ya, and in her gradually blurred vision, she could feel Li Ya’s nervousness, and she glances at Li Fengjue cautiously, but Li Fengjue does not react at all. He just sits there silent, slightly lowering his head. She doesn’t know what is on his mind.

Yuexi holds Ouyang Mu’s hand tightly, trying to keep herself awake. At this moment, Li Ya suddenly rises to her feet, with a glass of wine in her hand.

Li Ya seems to be torn by guilt, and finally she lifts her glass to Yuexi, “Yuexi, I want to apologize to you.”

When Yuexi hears these words, she becomes sober in an instant, her heart full of suspicion. Would she apologize to me so readily?

Sure enough, as soon as Li Ya speaks, she verifies her thoughts. She wants to apologize for lying to her when they met for the first time. “I’m sorry, Yuexi, that time I lied to you, to make you go to my home, and I almost caused you to die. Whatever the reason, although I didn’t mean to harm you, however, it is I who caused this. I am really guilty about this. I will drink this up as an apology.”

Yuexi raises her eyebrows, realizing that since Li Fengjue is here, she would never admit that thing. Thinking of this, Yuexi also raises the glass of wine in front of her, “Okay, your apology is accepted. But… do you just want to apologize for this one thing?”

Yuexi looks at Li Ya with a cunning smile on her face, and Li Ya seems to be frightened, “Yuexi, what do you mean by saying that? Apart from this, is there anything else I need to apologize to you?”

Seeing how Li Ya responds to her accusation, Yuexi smiles again, shakes her head and struggles to stands up, “It’s okay, since you can’t remember it now, let’s talk about it next time, and I will help you remember.”

Li Ya steps forward and helps Yuexi to stand firm, “Yuexi, you are too drunk.”

Yuexi leans against Ouyang Mu and pushes Li Ya away, ignoring Ouyang Mu’s objection, and drinks up the glass of wine.

She holds the glass upside down and says, “This time, your apology is accepted, next time, it may not be that simple.” The moment she finishes that, she finds her legs weak and herself collapsing directly into Ouyang Mu’s arms.

Ouyang Mu holds tightly Yuexi who is now twisting and turning restlessly in his arms, “She has drunk a lot, I have to send her back. Enjoy yourselves.”

After saying, Ouyang Mu directly holds up Yuexi, who shrinks in his arms uncomfortably, grunting and murmuring something.

Under Li Fengjue’s gloomy gaze, Yuexi slowly wraps her hands around Ouyang Mu’s neck, and mutters intimately, “You promised to take me home.”

“Okay, let’s go home.” Ouyang Mu gently and tightly carries this beauty in his arms and walks towards the door. As he turns around, Yuexi seems to see Li Fengjue, who looks gloomy and in low spirit. The sight of that makes her feel good, although it also pains her to see him like this.

When they step out of the room, Ouyang Mu, who is holding Yuexi, sees Li Fengye walking in this direction. The latter frowns when he lays his eyes on Yuexi who is as drunk as a lord.

“Mr. Ouyang, long time no see, what is up?”

Ouyang Mu nods to him, “Hello, Mr. Li, she drank too much, I will send her back home, your wife and brother are still waiting for you, we will leave first. Excuse us.”

After saying this, he left Fengheju with Yuexi still in his arms.
