A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Peter Gong

Yuexi frowns doubtfully. Looking at the contract in his hand, she nods silently and steps forward hurriedly, trying to grab it. However, things do not go smoothly as she expected. She fails to grab it but falls into Li Fengjue’s arms.

He is seated in his boss chair with Yuexi being sitting on his legs and being held in his arms. Li Fengjue gets his head close towards her, breathing softly into her ears as he says, “I can give you the contract, but I can also destroy it.” Yuexi swallows saliva, her face quickly turning red. Then she buries her head low and nods silently.

Li Fengjue is really satisfied with her reaction. He curls up the corners of his mouth, and runs through her hair gently with his slim fingers. “I … I’m going back to the company …” She looks up at him, replying as she struggles to stand up.

Since Li Fengjue doesn’t intend to embarrass her anymore. Yuexi gets up easily, picks up the contract, and leaves the office in panic. Speeding up his steps, Li Fengjue catches up with her, and says, “I’ll go with you.” Yuexi hurriedly calls her boss David.

Soon enough, Yuexi and Li Fengjue arrive at the company. David, Liu Chen and other people who are also in charge have already been waiting for them at the gate. Following a group of people, Yuexi feels as if she were a nobody. In fact, the cooperation has been negotiated for a long time, and two sides have already reached an agreement. The final contract is just a mere formality.

Although Li Fengjue comes by himself, his appearance has caused a great stir in Yuexi’s company. Lin Chuchu is also here. She is especially embarrassed, and her expression reveals it all. Yuexi sits at the end of the crowd and looks down at the documents in her hand.

“Master Li, you shouldn’t be bothered to come here in person to deal with such trivial matters.” David says politely. Hearing that, Li Fengjue smiles slightly and says, “Other companies actually offer much better deals than yours. I chose to work with you just because you have a good employee, otherwise I won’t even show up.”

David nods, and turns his head to look at Yuexi with satisfaction. She smiles guiltily, wondering what Li Fengjue wants to do. “We are also pleased to have such an employee.” David replies.

Li Fengjue says expressionlessly, “Such an excellent employee deserves rewards.” “Of course,” says David. Seeing them talking, Yuexi feels a little restless. She clenches her fist, feeling disturbed.

The staff in the company have already been gossiping about their relationship for a long while. Now Li Fengjue once again forces her to be the talk of the company. Legally, they are already married. However, Li Fengjue speaks in the way that implies that Yuexi is his mistress.

Thinking of this, she bites her lower lip, and looks up at him with her bright eyes. What exactly does he want to do? Does he want to prove that he isn’t interested in her by trampling on her self-esteem? Or does he want to avenge her for saying bad words about Li Ya?

Yuexi wants to laugh yet fails to do so. Whatever the motivations he has, she cannot do anything about it, for she is vulnerable and can only be oppressed by others. Unless there is a day when she is at the top position, then no one will dare to look down on her.

That afternoon, Yuexi somehow disappeared, which was the case, according to Li Fengjue’s opinion, at least. She didn’t want to go to the banquet as his female companion. If she did go, she would be recognized as his mistress. Yuexi stayed at Chen Ying’s place for the night, and didn’t dare to go out the next day. Thinking that she will meet Li Fengjue at the banquet tonight, she feels disturbed.

Chen Ying picks out an extremely delicate and sexy outfit for Yuexi, and puts some makeup on her. Yuexi’s long hair looks smooth, causally blocking her back. At the banquet, she draws the attention and envy of countless people. Yuexi comes to David calmly to exchange a few greetings. When she is about to leave, she hears a sharp voice.

“Oh, it’s you, Yuexi. I thought you were someone else.” Lin Chuchu says sarcastically. Yuexi turns around to see that Liu Chen is standing next to Lin Chuchu. His eyes glow the moment he sees Yuexi, as if she met her for the first time. He swallows saliva, holds a wine glass, staring at Yuexi directly, and says, “That’s not her normal style, but she is still gorgeous.”

After hearing this, Lin Chuchu stares at Liu Chen fiercely. Then Liu Chen restrains himself from looking at Yuexi, and tries to reach out to hold Lin Chuchu by the shoulder. But Lin Chuchu deliberately avoids his arms, and says, “Gorgeous? Some people just like pretending to look dignified. But actually, she is just a slut.”

Lin Chuchu rolls her eyes at Yuexi, and says in a mocking tone, “I recall someone once refused to sign the contract. But in a blink of an eye, the contract is signed successfully. And that person also has Master Li to speak for her. What does Master Li says? He almost shares the details about what’s going on between them in bed!”

Hearing these words, Yuexi acts expressionlessly, turns around and leaves, as if she didn’t hear her at all. She has heard too many slanders, and now these words can’t hurt her anymore. But at the moment of her turning around, she hears the hissing sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, the door of the sightseeing elevator is opened.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Wearing a decent suit, Li Fengjue walks out expressionlessly, with a tall woman standing beside him. Yuexi recognizes that woman who is his secretary, Zhao Ya. Lin Chuchu glances at Yuexi with a sense of contempt in her eyes. She walks to Yuexi, and says sarcastically, “If Li Fengjue really cares about you, how can he find another female partner?”

Yuexi feels miserable after hearing what she says. It feels like the pain in the ass. Seeing her expression, Lin Chichu smiles victoriously, steps forward, and greets him warmly. “Master Li, you finally arrive! My boss is waiting for you, and he appreciates your arrival.”

Unlike Lin Chuchu, Yuexi is indifferent to his presence, as if she didn’t notice that Li Fengjue has been here. At this moment, the elevator door is opened again, and there is a couple inside. The man is about thirty years old. His skin looks well-maintained, his eyes glow, and his slender figure can be compared with that of a model.

He is Xu Tianyun, the oldest son of Xu family, the brother of Xu Linchen, and the primary target of Yuexi today. The Xu family has three sons. Xu Linchen ranks as the second. He also has a younger brother. The Xu family also has a daughter, Xu Ziqi, who gains the appreciation of the whole family.

Yuexi changes her emotionless expression into a perfect smile. She steps forward confidently, and says, “Master Xu, welcome to our banquet! You really brings life into this place.” Xu Tianyun casually turns his head around. When he sees Yuexi, his eyes light up immediately. “Have we met before, my beautiful lady?”
