“That day wasn’t it…” Yuexi’s words were not finished yet when Xu Linchen abruptly got into the car on his own, without heeding to her words, and drove away in an instant.
Yuexi was left speechless with the card still in her hand.
She sighed helplessly. It seems that she must go there tonight.
Thinking so, Yuexi was just about to go back, when suddenly her phone rang. She looked at the incoming call to see Li Fengjue’s name flashing on the screen.
After hesitating for a while, she finally picked it up.
“Hello?”
“The sales are good this time. I heard from your boss that you are going to give a celebration party, so I will go there to pay.”
Yuexi quickly refused, “No need, my boss gave me the money, so I can pay the meal.”
“What can you do with that little amount of money? I’ve decided I will pay.” His majestic and domineering tone made her unable to refuse.
She was furious but could only comfort herself, ‘Do not get angry!’
“Well, I will pick the place.”
“Okay.” Li Fengjue instantly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Yuexi hurriedly called Xu Linchen and informed, “Today I am going to have a celebration party, so we will have dinner later, is that okay?”
“Yes, okay, as long as you can come.” Xu Linchen’s tone was full of joy.
At night, Yuexi led a mighty group of colleagues to a high-end restaurant. When they saw the price on the menu, most of them were shocked.
They asked worriedly, “Yuexi, will the money that boss gave us be enough to afford it? Will it exceed the standard?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Yuexi curled up her lips in a smile and replied generously, “Don’t worry, you can eat whatever you want today. Someone is willing to pay it for us.”
As soon as her voice fell, the door opened.
Li Fengjue was dressed casually, a simple shirt with the buttons not entirely fastened, and casual pants. He was not as unsmiling as usual, and the expression on his face was a lot softer.
Despite this, all the colleagues were startled when they saw him, and they all behaved very cautiously. After all, he was the boss of a large consortium. If they accidentally said something they shouldn’t and offended him, they might be expelled from the company outrightly.
The originally lively atmosphere instantly became a little embarrassing due to the arrival of Li Fengjue.
Even after the food was served, they didn’t dare to eat. They all let Li Fengjue eat first as if it was a banquet held by the emperor.
Yuexi first glanced at her colleagues, then at Li Fengjue, who was sitting next to her and whispered, “Come out with me.”
The two of them walked out of the room together. Li Fengjue raised his lips and mocked her, “What? Want to get along with me alone?”
Yuexi glared at him fiercely, “You are a president, and suddenly came to this restaurant for no reason. Didn’t you see all of them were sitting on pins and needles and were very cautious because of you!”
“So?” Li Fengjue nonchalantly asked.
“So, please be merciful and let us go. You can have dinner wherever you want. Why do you want to join in a small celebration party?”
“Then you will have to have dinner with me, let’s go to another restaurant.” Li Fengjue smiled shamelessly.
His shamelessness made Yuexi see red. She didn’t see him for just half a month, and he became more and more shameless.
“You have a fiancée arranged by your family, go and have dinner with her. Or you can go to see your sister-in-law. They both will be very much willing to have dinner with you.”
At her words, the smile on Li Fengjue’s face disappeared. His brows furrowed, he stepped forward.
Yuexi subconsciously backed away.
“Did she say something to you? I knew you were jealous so you ran away from home.”
“I wouldn’t be jealous. She is your fiancée, so, of course, she can stay in your house and sleep with you. And I am the superfluous person who should not appear in your house.”
Yuexi looked at him coldly as she watched Li Fengjue reach out to touch her face. But she tilted her head and avoided it.
“You are jealous of this? Is this the reason why you went to the bar to find a pimp?” Li Fengjue frowned as he recalled her visit to the bar.
“What I do has nothing to do with you.”
She turned around to leave, but before she could walk away, she was hugged by Li Fengjue from behind.
“My dear wife, don’t be jealous. I’m here to explain it to you. I have been sleeping in hotels and offices for half a month, thinking about you every night. I got backache because of it.”
Sleeping in a hotel and office every day? Li Fengjue didn’t go home?
Seeing that Yuexi didn’t respond, Li Fengjue hugged her tighter. The two of them were clinging to each other without any space between them. He was close to her neck that she could feel his breath. “Don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?”
“I……”
Yuexi opened her mouth and was just about to speak when she saw a colleague approaching them. She immediately tried to get out from Li Fengjue’s arms. But the colleague had already noticed them.
He did a double take before turning around to leave, “I didn’t see anything, you can continue.”
My God! Now she can never explain her relationship with Li Fengjue.
Her colleagues had already suspected their relationship. Now that they had a witness and if they spread it in the company, the news of her being a mistress would be well known, and soon there would be various versions of the rumor.
As she thought about this, her anger swelled up again and got out of Li Fengjue’s embrace, before quickly rushing forward. Her anger made her irrational, and she rushed out of the restaurant without paying heed to anything.
She only came out of stupor when she was almost hit by the car while crossing the road. Fortunately, Li Fengjue pulled her in the nick of time.
Yuexi was terrified and stroked her chest subconsciously.
Li Fengjue carefully looked at the woman in his embrace and cursed, “You stupid woman, do you want to die?”
Feeling the warmth of his body, Yuexi did not refute for the first time.
He glanced down at her as his eyes were filled with a myriad of complex emotions. After a while, he coldly stated, “Come on, let’s go.”
“No, I don’t want it!” She flatly refused.
In the next second, she was picked up by Li Fengjue and was taken to the parking lot. Then she was thrown into the car.
Yuexi wanted to push open the door of the car but was pressed by him.
Her heart started pounding, as some bad memories resurfaced in her mind. This scene seemed to have happened before …
She anxiously gulped.
She quickly pushed Li Fengjue away and sat down before clearing her throat to say, “Don’t you have something to tell me?”
Li Fengjue did all this, and his purpose couldn’t merely be to have dinner with her. He must have something to say to her.
With a touch of appreciation in his eyes, he curled up the corners of his lips, “You are not that stupid.”
“Say it quickly.”
Glancing at her, Li Fengjue said, “I hope you remember one thing. You are a married woman. You are different from Chen Ying! How can you go to find a pimp? If you are unsatisfied, you can tell me directly, and I will make you happy.”
Yuexi rolled her eyes, and she responded angrily, “I also want to tell you something: If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. When you don’t behave like a married man, why should I have to be the obedient wife?”
Li Fengjue frowned, “What the hell are you upset about? Is it because Xu Ziqi lives in my house, or because I met Li Ya in Fengheju?”
