Chapter 18: Almost Falling from the Building
Proofread by He Li
Xu Linchen notices the arrival of Li Fengjue. He panics in a moment and loosens his strength a little bit. Yuexi yells, and her body is like a stone falling into the sea. She feels dizzy with a sense of weightlessness. It’s over. It’s all over now. In the panic, she seems to have grabbed something.
Li Fengjue looks at her in panic, and shouts loudly, “Grab tight! Don’t let go!” Yuexi opens her eyes with difficulty when she hears his voice. Her eyelids tremble slightly, her thin eyelashes flutter, and there is terror in her eyes. “Help me!” Yuexi screams with all her strength she has. Li Fengjue has already rushed into the warehouse. Seeing the black figure disappear, Yuexi feels a little disappointed.
She grabs the dilapidated wooden strip tightly. However, with the pouring rain, the weather-beaten wooden strip looks like it is about to break anytime. Yuexi seems to have heard the sound of a breaking wooden bar. At the same time, her body begins to lose gravity. With a squeak, the bar breaks!
Yuexi closes her eyes tightly in fright, but at this moment, her wrist is dragged. Li Fengjue’s eyebrows now are stained with rain. The tension in his eyes can also be sensed. His voice is as cold as cold autumn water, “Catch me tightly!”
Yuexi feels a sense of peace in her mind when she hears the voice. She subconsciously holds onto his arm, her sense of survival reaching the extreme. Finally being rescued, Yuexi feels exhausted while lying on the ground. Li Fengjue squats down and lifts her up from the ground.
At the same time, Xu Linchen comes down from the top of the building and looks at them in panic. Li Fengjue toss him a gaze sharp like a knife. With immense anger and coldness, he looks like that he could kill someone without being noticed. “Xu Linchen, I won’t forget about this!”
Yuexi coughs a few times. Her fingers tremble, and she holds Li Fengjue’s clothes with all her strength left, and her consciousness fades away little by little.
Xu Linchen doesn’t entangle with them. After seeing that Yuexi has been rescued, he immediately goes downstairs. The sound of a car starting comes from downstairs. He leaves!
Carrying Yuexi into the room, Li Fengjue glances down at the woman in his arms and says with frustration, “This stupid woman dared to get in a stranger’s car. You are really stupid.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Perhaps hearing the voice, Yuexi tries to narrow her eyes into a slit, and mutters, “I’m not willing to be kidnapped……” Li Fengjue doesn’t speak any more, but there is hint of distaste in his eyes.
This woman cannot be more stupid. Not hearing any response, Yuexi continues saying, “You are the reason why I’m miserable like this. Now I only want a divorce!” She is indeed angry. After all, her life has been miserable, and she doesn’t expect to be involved in the family feud. She is just an ordinary woman. She doesn’t pray for living a wealthy life, and she just wants to find someone who can accompany her all her life.
Thinking of this, she tries to open her eyes and stares at Li Fengjue’s face. Chin held high and jaw tight, he now gives an imposing coldness that would frighten any living soul away. They clearly belong to two different worlds. Why should Li Fengjue get her involved? She feels that the man stops walking and looks down at her, then her eyes meet his. She is dizzy and cannot think straight, and gradually loses her consciousness, falling into darkness.
She only hears there is someone talking, but cannot figure out what was said. After a rather long while, Yuexi finally comes to herself. She feels sore immediately when she wants to move her body, as if she were crushed by a car. When Yuexi opens her mouth to talk, her throat is dry as if having been cut by a blade.
Her nose is filled with the smell of disinfectant. Glancing around, she finds herself in a hospital.
A tall figure stands with his hands on his back next to the bed. He hears the movement and turns his head. Li Fengjue casts her a bland glance and asks, “Are you feeling better?” His voice is low and without a hint of consolation. What he says seems a little stiff.
“I …” Yuexi only makes a little noise. She feels her voice is terrible, like the sound of an old witch.
“You should rest. You’ve been unconscious for a whole day and night due to the rain. Because of your poor body, you should go out to exercise every day in the future, in case you can’t get out of bed when the time comes.”
When the time comes?
These words really mean something deep. However, Yuexi doesn’t have the strength to mess around with him, so she just rolls her eyes while saying with a hoarse voice, “Do you think I’m as rich as you? How can I afford the time to exercise? Now I just want to ……”
‘Clear the name of Bai family and recapture everything that has belonged to us.’ Yuexi finishes the sentences in her mind.
Even he saves her a million times, it doesn’t mean that he can be trusted. “You don’t have to think about anything, just rest and recover.” Li Fengjue pauses, and an evil simile appears on his face. He leans towards her and raises her chin.”It’s almost too easy for you to become as rich as me. I can promise you to become a millionaire if you treat me nicely.”
Yuexi tosses him a stern glare, and pouted her lips lifelessly. This man can only talk nicely. She doesn’t want to be bothered to pay him any attention. “Not to mention,” Li Fengjue narrows his eyes into a thin line, saying in a meaningful tone of voice, “We are married now, my money is yours.”
“No need! All you need to do is divorce me, and I will thank God for that!” As soon as she finishes her words, Yuexi feels the hand on her chin tightens. “Ah……” She cries out in pain.
“Impossible.”
Yuexi feels the pain in her head. The man in front of her is omnipresent. However, on a second thought, she feels that Li Fengjue cannot let go of her easily as he has gone to a lot trouble just to get rid of Xu family, and it’s not easy to get divorced at this moment. However, the mere thought of the young master of Xu family make her feel scared.
She would have become a sullied woman if he really wanted to force himself upon her and she hadn’t really fought back. Not to mention being disgusted by Li Fengjue, even she herself may not be able to bear it. She doesn’t know if she can survive till the day she divorces Li Fengjue. Thinking of this, Yuexi turns around and covers her head with the quilt.
Just at this moment, the door opens. “Sir, Miss Xu is here.”
The expression on Li Fengjue’s face disappears, and he says coldly, “Don’t let her in.”
Uncle Li receives the order and just when he is ready to turn around, he is taken aback and called in a low voice, “Miss Xu …”
Xu Ziqi has already walked into the room as soon as the words are spoken.
