A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by He Li

“You are Yuexi, right? I think that since you are married to Fengjue, you don’t want to stay out of it, right?” Li Ya asks softly. Yuexi looks at her with confusion, wondering whether Li Fengjue has encountered some unexpected events on his way to Feng Town.

“Grandfather already knows about the relationship between you two. He definitely won’t let Fengjue off. He may even punish him according to the family law. Last time, Fengjue was so badly beaten that he couldn’t get out of bed for a few months. This time…” Li Ya’s eyes are full of worries as she says, “Fengjue didn’t plan to tell you about this. Instead, he wanted to take on all of it by himself. But I really can’t bear to see him suffer. This is not something he should face alone.”

Yuexi’s mind is a mess. For a moment, she doesn’t know what is the right thing to do. Li Fengjue goes out to deal with the situation alone, but she just sits there doing nothing?

“Li family from Fengdu” has always been a noun mentioned in the news. Yuexi never thought of being able to have contact with them. Last time, Li Fengjue rescued her from despair. If she sneaked away again like what she did last time, it would be ungrateful and treacherous of her. Therefore, she couldn’t leave him alone.

Watching Yuexi hesitate, Li Ya holds her hand, manifest anxiety in her eyes, “Yuexi, you are now married to Fengjue. As long as you return to Fengdu and behave well, grandfather may approve of your marriage. It will be good for both of you.”

Yuexi doesn’t know what will happen in Li family, but she does know the seriousness of this matter, which is probably why Li Fengjue didn’t answer her calls. He doesn’t want her to worry.

After considering for a long time, Yuexi grits her teeth and finally decides to go to Fengdu, as if she were to pay back the favor from Li Fengjue. However, what awaits her is yet to know. Seeing that Yuexi agrees with the plan, Li Ya is relieved, as if she just fulfilled a wish.

It takes Yuexi two hours from Fenng City to Fengdu. Yuexi is anxious all the way, worrying about Li Fengjue and herself not being able to return… Even though Li Fengjue helped her before, it isn’t simply due to his kindness. There are too many things involved in their relationship, like interests, schemes, and something more. Yuexi cannot figure out why she is so worried about him.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Yuexi calls him a few more times, but Li Fengjue still doesn’t answer. Therefore, she is even more anxious. When she finally arrives at Fengdu, she realizes that she could only get into the place by taking Li Ya’s car, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to get in. The mansion of the Li family looks like an imperial palace. It looks magnificent, and the overall appearance is also very antique. Seen from afar, it does looks like a real imperial palace.

Yuexi’s heart is almost in her mouth. She stares at everything in front of her, with her eyes wide open. The magnificent building is like a monster making frightening gestures, making her head dizzy. With anxiety, Yuexi enters the mansion. Preoccupied with the thought that Li Fengjue might be severely injured, she doesn’t even have the time to look at the surrounding buildings.

Unconsciously, she reaches the center of the hall where many people are sitting up straight, but Li Fengjue isn’t among them. They notice Yuexi, and they all glance at her. Their scrutinizing glances make her feel very uncomfortable, even a little disturbed.

She couldn’t help turning her head to glance at Li Ya, only to find that she has stepped forward, and is now speaking respectfully to the old man on the main seat, “She is here, grandfather.” Li Ting nods with satisfaction. Yuexi frowns and watches Li Ya walking towards a man. He is about 30 years old, and resembles Li Fengjue in appearance a lot. But his features are deeper, and his expression gloomier. It seems that he is Li Fengjue’s brother, Li Fengye.

Xu Ziqi and Xu Linchen are seated next to him. There are also two middle-aged couples, who, judged from their appearances, should be Xu Ziqi’s and Li Fengye’s parents. Yuexi secretly breathes a sigh of horror. She, standing in the center of the hall, feels like standing trial beneath their sharp gazes..

After a rather long while, they finally stop staring and Grandfather Li finally says, “It’s you who seduced my grandson! A woman who doesn’t know who rules the world!” His deep eyes are exactly the same as those of Li Fengjue, but he doesn’t even try to hide the disgust in his eyes. When he began the conversation with harsh questions, Yuexi knew that she was in trouble. She smiles bitterly in her heart.

Li Fengjue is right. She is stupid. Perhaps Li Fengjue didn’t return to Fengdu, and Li Ya just found an excuse to let her step into the trap herself. Now she is in the Li family’s place. It would be so easy to kill an insignificant person like her. And with their power, her death would be untraceable.

Until now, she begins to regret not having listened to Chen Ying. Li family and Xu family are not to be messed with; they certainly would not be softhearted. However, since she has already been trapped in this situation, she can only stay strong and face it head on. Yuexi collects her thoughts, takes a deep breath, and then says, “A-jue and I are in love with each other, how could you say I seduced him? Besides, we are married now. If there is any problem, let’s wait until A-jue comes back, then we can discuss this together.”

Even though she looks fearless, cold sweats are running down her palm. She remains expressionless, and says, “Since A-jue is not around, I think I should leave.” After saying this, Yuexi is about to turn and go away when the old man’s serious and imposing voice comes, “It’s not your position to decide when to go, and when to come!” As soon as he finished the sentence, a few bodyguards in black suits come rushing out of the dark, quickly surrounding Yuexi. They easily overpower her.

They touched the wound on her hand making Yuexi sweat in pain. Mrs. Xu glances coldly at her, and says scornfully, “You uneducated woman! How dare you think about marrying Fengjue. You are engaged in wishful thinking! How can a woman like you compare with my girl Ziqi?”

Xu Ziqi stands aside, looking helpless, like a frightened little white rabbit with a pitiful appearance. Mrs. Li also steps forward, and says coldly, “I believe you are a person who knows the right thing to do. As long as you are willing to leave my son, you can have whatever you want; Li family will never treat you badly.”

Yuexi bites her lower lip, and doesn’t speak a word. Li Ya gets up from her seat, holding a piece of paper in her hand, she walks to Yuexi and says softly, “You are aware of the situation. See, they don’t like a woman like you to marry Fengjue. You are a shame for both Li family and Xu family. If you don’t want to get hurt, then sign this divorce paper!”
