A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

After saying these words, the female doctor enjoins Yuexi to stay in bed and gives Li Fengjue a dissatisfied glance. Then, she pushes the door open and goes out. Thick white gauze is wrapping around Yuexi’s neck, with a slight red bloodstain oozing out. Li Fengjue’s eyes fall on her neck, betraying a combination of guilt and concern.

He takes a few steps forward and draws a chair to the side of the bed. He rubs her delicate hand in his palms with his slender fingers. Yuexi rests her head on the pillow, her little face pale. She is regarding him quietly. Time slips by quickly before she realizes how long then she falls asleep. She is really too tired these days. In addition to being tortured by Xu Tianyun today, she is exhausted.

Half awake and half asleep, she feels a pair of big hands hugging her from behind. The night is very quiet and the only thing she could hear is their breathing. Feeling the woman in his arms waking up, Li Fengjue puts his head above her neck and asks her in a low voice, “Do you feel better now?” “Much better.” Yuexi’s voice is hoarse. After saying it, Yuexi feels that his hug becomes tighter.

After a long while, she hears his nasal voice, “I think the female doctor is right. No matter under what circumstances, your life is the most important and the rest is nothing.” Yuexi feels a gust of happiness sweeping through her. Her eyes glitter in the moonlight. She moves her body slightly to turn around to look at him. Even in the dark night, his eyes shine like stars in the sky.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“How do you know that I was kidnapped?” Li Fengjue kisses her on the forehead and says softly, “In fact, I have been monitoring the movements of the Xu family closely these days. My people tell me that Xu Tianyun has come to Fenng City, and there are people sneaking around your company. I am worried about you so I give you a call, but can’t get through. So, I have to turn to the video surveillance system to know your whereabouts. Following the monitors, finally I locate the abandoned chemical plant.”

“So that is why, I thought you put a GPS on me…” Yuexi smiles with her lips raised. She suddenly remembers Xu Tianyun’s words and looks at Li Fengjue with her bright eyes, “I didn’t expect your fiancée to be such a woman who would never stop before achieving her goals. She is so young and looks so innocent. I didn’t expect her to be so vicious. Xu Tianyun was under her command!”

Li Fengjue curls up the corner of his mouth and reaches out to pinch her face, “Not everyone is as stupid as you. You have to remember, “People aren’t what they seem. You can never judge a person by the way he looks. Although Ziqi is young, she manages to achieve a firm standing in such a complicated family like the Xu family. It’s not easy.” Curling her lip to show dissatisfaction, Yuexi rolls her eyes at him.

What does he mean by saying that? Is it another way to say she has a low IQ and even a little girl as young as Xu Ziqi outsmarts her? She is just not taking her seriously! Indeed, she just is not ready to treat her as an equal and an enemy! “Then, you already knew Xu Ziqi was a bitch, so you didn’t want to get engaged with her?”

Li Fengjue plays her hair with his fingers and clears his throat, “I always regarded her as my sister. When I heard the news of engagement, I wanted to discuss with her to see how we can break it off. Then I accidentally saw the other side of her, so that’s it.”

He leaves something unsaid, but it can be inferred from the way he speaks that Li Fengjue must have seen something unbearable at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t go so far as to refuse to cooperate with her. Li Fengjue says she is stupid, and now it looks like he is right. Everyone can see the true color of Xu Ziqi, only she is stupid to think that Xu Ziqi is just a naive little girl.

Li Fengjue lets go of her hair. He props his head with one hand, his eyes fixed upon her, “I originally planned to take you home to Fengdu in two days. Look at the way you are now,- you probably won’t get better in a day or two. I think it might be a better idea we come home a few days later.” Yuexi gets cheerful when she hears the news. Fengdu is the last place in the world that she wants to go to.

She pretends to stay calm and replies softly, “Okay, it’s fine with me.” “Okay, it’s already too late. Try to get some sleep.” Li Fengjue says softly, reaching out to tuck her in the quilt. Then, he quietly lies by her side and closes his eyes, with one arm wrapping around her waist.

Yuexi is looking at his face, feeling everything is so unreal. The moonlight shines through the window like water. Her face, coated with a layer of golden yellow moonlight looks softer. She really can’t see through the man in front of her. He seems to have many sides, sometimes vicious, sometimes gentle, and sometimes he is just like a small child.

Hiding in his arms, she feels like she has the whole world. No matter what happens outside, she will feel the fear anymore. Yuexi has a sweet smile on his face and falls asleep overwhelmed with the warm currents in her heart. When the sun is shining in, Yuexi subconsciously reaches out and touches the person next to her, but she finds no one is there. Opening her eyes in disbelief, she hears some rumbling voices from the outside.

“It’s already very kind of me to just cut off one of his hands.” “Well, there is nothing serious about her. She just needs to take a rest.” He seems to have finished talking on the phone. Yuexi hears the movement and closes her eyes quickly. She can clearly feel a pair of eyes showing affection cast upon her.

After a long while, she hears the footsteps walking towards the door again and the sound of the door pushed open and close. Yuexi opens her eyes, struggling to sit up. She looks at the door in confusion. Who is it Li Fengjue talks to on the phone? However, one thing is certain: that the Xu family has been greatly weakened. But will the Xu family swallow insult and humiliation silently? since Li Fengjue has cut off the one hand of Xu Tianyun?

“If you dare to touch her, you won’t be able to walk out of here alive!” His furious voice is ringing around her ears. Yuexi blushes and covers her head with the quilt. She talks to herself, “He got so angry only because Xu Tianyun leveled an assault on me?” Thinking about it, she cracks a bigger smile. So many happy memories flash through her mind, and they are all about Li Fengjue.

Perhaps because of the drug, Yuexi lies in the quilt and falls asleep again. When she wakes up again, it is already dusk. She opens her eyes confusedly and sees the view of his back. He is standing straight in front of the window, deep in thought. Li Fengjue hears the movement and turns around to look at her, “You finally wake up! Are you hungry?”

Yuexi sits up and Li Fengjue hurries forward to put the pillow behind her, acting earnestly and carefully. She hooks her mouth, “I didn’t expect you to take care of me this nicely.” “That’s because you are my wife.” Li Fengjue sits on the edge of the bed and plays with her hair in front of her forehead. His movements are extremely gentle.

Suddenly, the phone rings. It’s Tiantian, “Hello, Yue… manager. I’m calling you because, actually…” “Your work will be handed over to other people. I am going to resign.”
