Chapter 64: Pick Her Up from Work
Proofread by Yu Bing
The next day, the sun shines into the exquisite room. Yuexi gets out of bed, with a sore head. Going downstairs in a daze, she finds that the leftovers from last night have already disappeared. In its place, there are breakfast and milk. When she comes to the kitchen, she finds everything looks orderly and clean. Did Li Fengjue do all of this?Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
She couldn’t help but slightly lift the corner of her mouth. Just when she sits down by the table to eat breakfast, she receives a WeChat message. It is from Li Fengjue, “You stupid woman, if you can’t drink, then don’t drink too much!” Seeing this sentence, Yuexi smiles broader. She can almost imagine the look on Li Fengjue’s face when he scolds her as he tidies the kitchen up. All the previous puzzles are solved instantly.
Yuexi is contented with her life now at the moment. She wants to keep everything the way it is now. Even though the man who lives with her under the same roof is hard to predict, in spite of that, he is very generous and faithful. Just like the first time they met, other people might choose to be a bystander, but he chose to give her a hand. And many times after that, he showed up just in time. Though his intent is not pure, she knows he is just trying to take advantage of her, but who cares, after all, you can’t both eat a cake and keep it.
She is most moved this time. Li Fengjue said that he would help her to take revenge. And he really did it, regardless of everything. When thinking of this, Yuexi feels that she is in a much better mood now. She walks to the balcony, stretches out her arms, and feels the warmth of the sun. For the first time, she is in such a good mood, apart from the day she was married to Lingyun. Perhaps this is the first time since her father’s death that she feels genuinely happy. She believes a good future are waiting for her.
In the next few days, Yuexi’s attention is all on the Xu family’s stocks. After half a month, Xu Tianyun and Han Yumeng officially get a divorce. It triggers a lot of negative reports which, in turn accelerates the Xu family’s downfall. At this time, Li Fengye also releases a press conference, saying that he has cut off contact with the Xu family long before. The last life-saving straw of the Xu family is also lost.
Unexpectedly, within a short period of half a month, a large proportion of Xu family’s property is gone. It seems that the final collapse is within sight. In recent days, Yuexi is in a much better mood. Old scores are finally settled, her revenge nearly accomplished. If one day she hears the news of the Xu family’s going completely bankrupt, she assumes that she will jump up happily and then go to the bar to have a wild time to enjoy herself. Today, just after she finishes her work at noon, she receives a call from Li Fengjue.
“I’m downstairs, come to meet me. Hurry.” “What? You are downstairs at my company? What are you doing here?” Yuexi’s voice becomes lower and lower, until it can’t be heard anymore. Li Fengjue’s tone turns cold, “Do you think that I’m embarrassing you when I come to your company?” Even on the phone, she can sense the cold that almost makes her shiver and even freezes her to death.
Yuexi hurriedly says something else to please him, “How come? You are the president. It is my honor to have you come all the way to pick me up, hahaha …” “Ok, it’s good that you know it. Come down immediately. ” Putting down the phone, Yuexi feels that many eyes are cast upon her. She is about to be burned alive by the fiery jealousy that are manifested through their stares.
Tiantian, the new intern of the company, looks at her with sweet eyes, “Sister Yue, is that man on the phone the legendary president of the Li’s consortium, President Li, Li Fengjue?” Yuexi awkwardly twitches the corner of her lips. Is it necessary to call him by such a long title? She nods, clears the table, and quickly gets out of the office.
Tiantian continues saying, “Sister Yue, I really envy you. You are married to the president at such a young age. And he is caring enough to pick you up from work. How sweet!” Yuexi feels a little bit uncomfortable with the envious eyes cast upon her. She chuckles embarrassingly and waves her hand, “I ‘m sure you can find your own Mr Right. I have to leave now. Excuse me. Bye.” “Well, bye bye, Sister Yue.”
In fact, Yuexi is really happy to hear those compliments. After all, everyone is vain. Occasionally, to have a one-in-million boyfriend to show off is not a bad thing. The moment she walks downstairs, she sees a black Cayenne parked at the gate of the company. It is exactly the time for her colleagues to file out of the building. All the people from various departments cast curious looks.
Yuexi is walking fast with her head up high and her back straight at first. After seeing those looks, she quickly covers her face with a bag, runs quickly towards the car, and gets in it like a whirlwind. After she settles down, she begins to pant heavily. Li Fengjue’s eyes fall upon her like a sharp knife, “Are you embarrassed to get into my car? You’re behaving like a thief.”
“Don’t you know how showy your car is? I’m going to work in the company in the future. As a small department manager, I will be drowned by their gossips!” Saying this, Yuexi turns her head to look at him. Being away from home for just a few days, Li Fengjue seems to have lost a lot of weight. Just seeing her mind wandering, he suddenly leans over. It startles Yuexi. Before she realizes what happens, she feels the soft lips pressing on her lips. Such a long and gentle kiss, she slowly calms down.
“Well, it seems that you miss me terribly. It is just a few days’ separation. ” Li Fengjue curls the corner of his mouth. Yuexi blushes, “You are such a narcissist! I’m so busy working every day that I don’t have time to miss you.” She couldn’t help but complain, “Don’t you forget to take a shower in these days? Why do you smell so bad? ”
Giving her a dirty look, Li Fengjue holds her chin between his fingers, bringing her face close to him. “Do you have conscience, woman? I come to see you just after I get off the plane. How dare you give me the cold shoulder?” He doesn’t exert too much pressure on her shoulder, but Yuexi groans with pain, “Ah …” Li Fengjue immediately withdraws his hand and frowns, “Are you all right?”
Yuexi rubs her chin and pouts, “Why do you always bully me?” His slim long fingers touch her cheeks. His movements are extremely gentle and his voice also softens a lot. “Okay, don’t get angry.” After hearing these words, Yuexi slightly raises her mouth corner unconsciously. She expresses her confusion, “Why don’t you go home first? How come you come here to pick me up from work?”
Li Fengjue lets go of her face and leans back against the seat. He says lazily, “I forget to take the key with me.” Yuexi is a little bit angry. So, is this the reason why he comes here to pick her up? “You have your own house, why don’t you go back and live by yourself!” She says in a bad tone. “I don’t want to see Grandpa.” “Grandpa comes to your house?” Yuexi thinks for a moment and she becomes even angrier. “You first said you wanted to avoid meeting Xu Ziqi, and then you said you tried to avoid seeing your own grandpa. What do you think of me and my place?” Am I your shelter? You are such a rich man, just go and buy another villa to live in!”
