Chapter 78: His Travel Companion
Proofread by Yu Bing
It’s unclear how much time passes before Yuexi finally wakes up again. She feels severe muscle and joint aches all over as if being crushed. Her whole body is stiff and it can hurt even to move. The pain between her thighs is especially acute, which seems to be a vivid reminder that Li Fengjue did come. Struggling to sit up, Yuexi’s eyes are attracted by the red color on the table. She reaches out for it and takes a closer look. The two large words on it are extremely conspicuous: Divorce Certificate.
That explains everything: This is the very reason why Li Fengjue showed up in her house… Looking at the red certificate, Yuexi’s curls up her lips to force a bitter smile. It’s good for both of them, the cutting of the emotional, mental and physical ties that still bind them. After putting everything in place, Yuexi goes to the company and officially resigns. Since Gong Benli has already signed a contract with the company, David couldn’t say anything. On her way out, she hears her colleagues gossiping in front of her face.
She knows that they did that on purpose. She doesn’t care. Ignoring their gossip, she walks out of the company with her head held high. She has been working in this company ever since she graduated from university. She never dreams of standing out among her peers, outshining them. But she also never envisions such a scenario: she makes such a sudden decision to leave the company, no farewell party, nothing, which makes her feel like a stray dog, being kicked out of the door.
However, she doesn’t worry about her life at all. She has enough deposits in her bank account and owns the house left by her father. Only the breakup fee given by Li Fengjue is enough to sustain her life in the future. Looking at the card in her hand, Yuexi thinks that she might never need it.
She decides to go to her mother’s hometown. On one hand, she needs to do something to distract her attention. On another hand, maybe she could get some clues about her mother’s whereabouts. With this in mind, Yuexi books a flight ticket and packs a bag quickly and rushes to the airport at five o’clock. Waiting at the boarding gate, Yuexi receives a message from Chen Ying, which says, “It’s would be nice if you go out and relax. But you must contact me every day, otherwise, I will be worried!”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Yuexi curls up the corner of her lips and replies, “Relax, I will report my whereabouts to you all the time, including what I eat, what I drink, and even what I shit.” “Hey! Xiao Yueyue, I find you become more and more gross. Is it what other people usually say, “Who keeps company with the wolf will learn to howl?” “Hahaha, you know how disgusting you are! I have endured you for a long time.” Yuexi responds to the message as she is trying to get a water bottle out of the bag.
She just stretches her hands when she suddenly feels someone handing a water bottle to her. She says “Thank you” without lifting her head. “You’re welcome.” A low male voice rings in the ear. Yuexi is shocked for a moment, then she looks up. His fingers are long and slender, apparently a man’s hand. It is Li Fengye!
“Why are you here?” Looking at her surprised look, Li Fengye is surprisingly calm. He comes up to sit next to her, “I’m going on a business trip.” Then Yuexi notices that there is a woman with heavy boobs and big ass sitting beside him. She not only has a hot body but also has a delicate face. She simply is a “nonesuch”, a woman without equal.
Yuexi suddenly remembers how Chen Ying describes him. He is bisexual and goes both ways – he has the potential to be attracted to people of more than one gender. Thinking of this, Yuexi blushes. The two of them go on a business trip together. It’s the best scenario for a single man and woman to evoke passion.
Li Fengye is not good at communication. The atmosphere between the two is a bit weird. Yuexi quickly finds a topic, “Why don’t you take the first class?” “It’s just a spur-of-the-moment decision. So, it is too late to book a first class seat.” Li Fengye answers truthfully. His eyes settle on her face and he asks her with concern, “Have you recovered from your injury?”
How does he know she is injured? “Oh, I’m fully recovered.” Yuexi smiles. “I think your face is a bit red. Are you still having a fever?” Yuexi unconsciously touches her cheek. It’s actually very hot. She quickly explains, “I just can’t stand the air conditioning here…” she randomly makes up an excuse, then she begins to drink water to avert attention. Yuexi glances at Li Fengye secretly from the corner of her eyes. She notices that he is also drinking water with his head down, showing no intention to continue the conversation.
Glancing at him, she finds that Li Fengye and Li Fengjue look just like twins. But the two have totally different personalities. The first time she met him, his appearance gives her the impression that he is a cold-hearted and ruthless person. But later she gradually comes to realize that he is cold just on the outside but inside he is warm and tender. The second time she saw him, he was helping Lin Chuchu in the hospital. It was enough to prove that he had a soft heart. Just days ago in the Li family, it was he who did justice by saying good things for her.
No matter what happened in the past, Yuexi thinks of him as a good friend. They chat casually together while waiting outside the boarding gate. It takes them two and a half hours to reach their destination. Yuexi falls asleep during the flight until she is awakened by someone. She opens her eyes confusedly, only to find herself leaning on Li Fengye’s shoulder. And they are the only two left in the large cabin.
She hurriedly lifts her head and apologizes to him, embarrassed, “I fall asleep and I don’t know how…” She is so nervous when she lifts her head then accidentally the back of her head bumped against the back seat. She makes a distinctive groan and almost tumbles out of her seat, Li Fengye reaches out just in time to grab her and frowns slightly, “Why do you behave like a little child? Is everything all right?”
Yuexi is slightly shocked and she looks up at him subconsciously. Li Fengjue frowns and begins to examine her leg, as if afraid of her legs getting injured again. He speaks to her the way her father did, “Does it hurt?” Feeling her gaze, Li Fengye looks at her suspiciously. Yuexi quickly waves her hand, “No, it doesn’t…”
She says as she grabs the bag and walks towards the aisle, “Look, I’m fine. It’s not serious at all.” Looking at her walking as usual, Li Fengye is no longer worried and walks behind her with an expressionless look on his face. The two get off the plane and walk side by side in the crowd. “Did you find a place to live?” Li Fengye suddenly asks. “Yes.”
“Where? It’s far?” “It’s okay, I can go there by taxi.” Yuexi hurriedly answers. “Take my car.” He speaks straightforwardly. Yuexi looks at him in surprise, “You have a car here? I don’t want to trouble you. I can just take a taxi.” After asking the question, she immediately regrets it. After all, he is the eldest son of the Li family. It is natural he has assets here.
“It’s getting late and you’re not safe outside alone.” His voice not loud and his tone unchanged, it carries a kind of majesty that is hard to describe and impossible to disobey. Yuexi can only respond by nodding, “Okay. Thank you!” After taking her to the hotel that she booked, Li Fengye asks the driver to take him to work. Yuexi looks at the car. She couldn’t help but praise Li Fengye. His every act and every move display inbred elegance. However, he doesn’t assume the air of a domineering figure. On the contrary, he looks very approachable. After taking a rest in the hotel for one night, she is ready to head for a place that isn’t even marked on the map of Lingcheng.
