A Pursuit of Beloved Wife

Proofread by Yu Bing

Yuexi and Chen Ying are eating the takeout foods they have ordered and Yuexi relates to her what happened lately. Chen Ying stares at Yuexi with her eyes shining.

“I’ll just say, your general manager definitely has a crush on you.” Chen Ying says with foods in her mouth.

Yuexi shakes her head gently, “Although I don’t know what his purpose is, I don’t think he is interested in me. He looks at me with calm eyes, unlike that kind of people, whose eyes are full of desire and lust.”

Chen Ying says indifferently: “As the proverb says, “You can’t judge a person by his appearances. I think he is just pretending to be a gentleman in front of you, to make you believe him, and let you fall into his trap without knowing it.”

Yuexi frowns and does not speak. Chen Ying moves her chair to her side and taps her lightly, “Hey, I don’t want you to keep distance from him. On the contrary, you have to take advantage of the opportunity. Ah, since you are his sectary now, you will have a lot of resources that will make it easy for you to climb up. To become successful and achieve your goal is just a matter of time.”

“I can indeed learn a lot at work. Compared with fighting alone, it is much easier to have someone help me. But that’s it, only work. I don’t want to have too much entanglement with him emotionally.” Yuexi says.

Chen Ying touches her full stomach and looks at her meaningfully, “I hope you can get what you want. Career and love life, both!”

Hearing Chen Ying talk about this again, Yuexi is made a little speechless. She rolls her eyes at her. “You are really something! Months ago, you asked me to hold on to Ouyang Mu at the beginning, but now let me hold on to Hua Linfeng.”

When Chen Ying hears what she says, her eyes light up, “Eh, yes, you remind me of something. Have you been in contact with Ouyang Mu recently? Ouyang Mu is also good. And he is also interested in you. Anyone with an eye can see that.”

“Of course I know, but he is just a friend. He wanted to invite me out for dinner two days ago, but I declined.” Yuexi sighs.

Chen Ying is just on the point of lecturing Yuexi on her behavior, but she quickly stops her. “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. I know what you are going to say. I am hungry now, hurry up and let’s eat.”

Chen Ying looks annoyed, but she doesn’t say more.

Yuexi stays at Chen Ying’s place for one night, then she goes to work early in the morning. When she is about to enter the company, a car pulls up in front of her and she is shocked.

When Hua Linfeng opens the door and gets out of the car, Yuexi breathes a sigh of relief. She originally thought that Li Fengjue comes directly to the company to stop her.

Hua Linfeng looks at Yuexi and smiles, “Why, does it make you nervous to see me?”

Yuexi shakes her head quickly, and says with some embarrassment, “No, general manager, I just didn’t expect it is you.”

“Let’s go inside together.” Hua Linfeng says, his tone giving a clear message of authority. As his secretary, Yuexi doesn’t dare to say anything, so she has to summon all her courage and follow Hua Linfeng into the company.

On the way Yuexi sees Kangyuan’s employees greeting Hua Lingfeng. When they walk past, they immediately lower their voice, apparently gossiping behind their backs. Yuexi lowers his head in embarrassment. She walks one step behind him.

Suddenly, Hua Linfeng who walks in front suddenly stops. Yuexi doesn’t see it at all, and runs into it directly. “Sorry, sorry, general manager, sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

Yuexi takes two steps back quickly to apologize to Hua Linfeng, but when she looks up, she is completely stunned. A man she has been worried about these days is standing in front of Hua Linfeng.

“This gentleman, I don’t know why you blocked my way? If you have any problems, you can go to my office. This is obviously not a good place to discuss things.” Hua Linfeng says to Li Fengjue with a calm smile.

But Li Fengjue doesn’t look at him at all. His eyes are fixed on Yuexi who is behind Hua Linfeng, and he says coldly, “I’m not looking for you.”

“Oh?” Hua Linfeng says as Li Fengjue looks at Yuexi, “So it seems that you are here to look for Miss Bai.”

Yuexi is startled by the way Li Fengjue looks at her, her whole body trembling. Seeing Hua Linfeng look back at herself, she reacts and says to Li Fengjue, “Why are you here? What do you want from me?”

“Go home with me.” Li Fengjue looks at Yuexi’s eyes and he is reaching out to pull Yuexi, but is caught by Hua Linfeng halfway.

Li Fengjue stares at Hua Linfeng, but Hua Linfeng smiles back, “This gentleman, obviously Miss Bai doesn’t want to see you.”

With a slight effort, Li Fengjue pulls out his hand and looks at Hua Linfeng coldly, “This is none of your business. She is my wife.”

Yuexi hurriedly says, “I am not his wife. We were divorced long time ago.” As soon as she finishes speaking, she sees Li Fengjue’s sharp eyes cast upon her, and she subconsciously hides behind Hua Linfeng, “We have no relationship long ago. Yes, I beg you not to pester me again.”

Li Fengjue steps sideways and wants to bypass Hua Linfeng, but Hua Linfeng also takes a step immediately, blocking Li Fengjue and reaches out to protect Yuexi behind him.

Li Fengjue’s face is not looking good, and he shouts at Hua Linfeng, “You get out of my way!”

Hua Linfeng also takes back his smile and says, “This gentleman, Yuexi has already said that she doesn’t want to see you, so don’t harass my employees again.”

“I’ll say it again, get out of my way!” Li Fengjue is irritated. His fists clenched tightly, he is staring at Hua Linfeng. It looks like he is about to get him into a fight.

Yuexi is taken aback by his look, fearing that he would really do something to Hua Linfeng, so she quickly blocks him, “Li Fengjue! Don’t go too far!”

Li Fengjue’s eyes are bloodshot. Seeing she is protecting other men, he is furious and roars at her: “Who is going too far? You are protecting him, right in front of me!”

Yuexi holds her head up and looks at Li Fengjue, but Hua Linfeng behind her grabs her by the hand and pulls her back behind her, and says softly to Yuexi, “Thank you. But I don’t like to be protected by a woman.”

After saying that, he looks at Li Fengjue again, “Mr. Li, right? Only incapable men yell at women. No matter what happens between you, she is your ex-wife. It’s very inappropriate for you to do this.”

“Are you preaching to me?” Li Fengjue squints his eyes slightly. Hua Linfeng shakes his head, “Not preaching, it’s just a piece of advice. As Miss Bai’s boss, I will not tolerate her being bullied by anyone.”

Seeing two people ready to fight each other, Yuexi is very anxious. She grits her teeth and stands between Li Fengjue and Hua Linfeng again, blocking them, “Li Fengjue, I will say one last time, I beg you, stop disturbing my life.”

After saying that, Yuexi pulls Hua Linfeng and walks away, Li Fengjue stands there and shouts at her back with a dark face, ” Bai Yuexi!”

But Yuexi doesn’t listen to him at all, and hurriedly walks into the gate of the company with Hua Linfeng, leaving Li Fengjue standing there and passers-by gossiping.

Pulling Hua Linfeng all the way into the elevator, Yuexi sees all the employees walk away, and no one takes the same elevator with them.

In the elevator, Yuexi is still holding Hua Linfeng’s arm without knowing it and she stands there panting. Hua Linfeng doesn’t say anything.

Suddenly Yuexi seems to remember something. She quickly lets go of Hua Linfeng’s arm, lowers her head and says embarrassedly, “I’m really sorry, General Manager.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Hua Linfeng smiles and shakes his head, “I just said that you are my employee, and I will not let you be bullied by anyone.”

Yuexi smiles reluctantly, “Thank you, general manager.”
