《Love's Vicissitudes: A Pursuit of Beloved Wife》C22. Hideous as Hell
Advertisement
Proofread by He Li
A man like Li Fengjue has a high self-esteem. He would over-analyze any trivial incidents, like what happened last night. The reason why he worries so much about her is because now she is his wife. Therefore, Xu Linchen’s maltreatment of her becomes Li Fengjue’s personal matter. Carrying Yuexi to the emergency department, Li Fengjue directly asks the nurse to get the dean.
Looking at his serious face, the nurse says in a trembling voice, "The dean is not in the hospital, I'm afraid he won't be able to be here in a short time ..." After hearing this, Li Fengjue’s eyes narrow into a slit. There is a sense of danger in them. He takes out his mobile phone and makes a phone call. He says in a cold voice, "Come here as fast as possible, or I will tear down your hospital!" Within five minutes, a middle-aged man arrives.
He shows up in front of Li Fengjue, panting, "All I have is this small hospital, please show some mercy." As soon as he finishes the sentence, Li Fengjue twist him by the arms to force him face Yuexi. "She is injured. Treat her immediately." Not until then did An Yu notice that there is a woman standing here. His eyes shine the moment when he sees her.
"Who is this beauty?" After saying this, he feels pain from his arm, and cannot help yelling, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. If my hand is injured, how can I help you to give her the treatment?" Then, Li Fengjue lets go of his hand. An Yu is frightened by his seriousness. So, he rushes to Yuexi to check out the wound on her hand.
Seeing that the glass has penetrated the back of her hand, An Yu glances at her with a respectful look. "Girl, you don’t even complain a word in a situation like this. I respect you." Cold sweats are running down Yuexi’s face. Her lips turn pale. She smiles slightly. An Yu knows that her injury bears no delay, so he hurries to arrange a surgery to treat her wound.

Actually, it’s nothing like a surgery. They just sit facing each other. An Yu first gives Yuexi a shot of anesthetic to prevent her from passing out. Li Fengjue stands by to supervise, never expecting that the two of them would speak ill of him. An Yu asks, "So how come you would take a fancy to Master Li?" Yuexi replies angrily, "Just by odd coincidences."
"I don't think you're more than twenty years old. There must be many admirers for you!"
"Actually, no." During her university days, there were indeed many people chasing her. However, they were all rejected by her. At that time, she was determined to be with LingYun. An Yu feels a little surprised, but continues the treatment while saying with a smile, "Then you are different from Master Li. He is always surrounded by his admirers, especially when he was in school. They formed a long line. However, his first kiss was taken away by an incredibly ugly woman, ha!”
The two of them are talking cheerfully, not noticing the gloomy look on Li Fengjue's face. Perhaps being affected by the coldness in Li Fengjue’s eyes, An Yu swallows saliva, tightens his nerve, quickly finishes the treatment, and wants to leave the room quickly. But Li Fengjue makes a faster move, reaches out, catches him, and forces him to the corner to fight with him.
After grabbing some medicine, Yuexi follows Li Fengjue into the car. Along the way, she refrains herself from giggling, and even her face turns red. As long as she thinks of An Yu’s swollen face, she cannot stop but feel funny. Eventually, when Li Fengjue stares at her coldly, she cannot hold back anymore, and laughs out loud.
"After all, he is a dean. Is it really okay to beat him like that?" Seeing that the gloominess in Li Fengjue’s eyes becomes deeper, Yuexi spits out her tongue, and quickly lifts her injured hand into the air, signaling that she is now still injured. He squints his narrow eyes, as if holding something back. Then he keeps his eyes on the road ahead and drives.

Li Fengjue is not that kind of person who can easily let things go. Xu Linchen offends him this time, and there will be serious consequence waiting for him. Suddenly, Yuexi remembers Xu Ziqi's injury, and says, "Her hand is scalded by herself. It's none of my business." Xu Ziqi is his fiancée, and they have mutual feelings since they were young. So Yuexi feels compelled to explain.
"Um." A simple syllable is uttered by Li Fengjue.
At first, Yuexi feels quite touched for she didn't expect him to believe her. But when Li Fengjue says, "How could a woman as stupid as you have the wisdom to frame others?" Yuexi swallows all her gratitude back and tosses him an angry stare. He looks like as if butter would not melt in his mouth, and Yuexi is convinced that he is actually a pervert.
When he rescued her from Ling Yun for the first time, she thought that Li Fengjue was like a god in heaven, so she secretly admired him. But after getting familiar with him these days, Yuexi realizes that those are just facade. He is nothing like a gentleman. Not only is he arrogant, he also speaks evilly and likes to bear grudge. Now, feeling the pain in her hand, Yuexi leans on the car door and quickly falls asleep. When she wakes up, she feels the lightness of her body and immediately sees Li Fengjue's sharp jaw line.
She takes a breath and finds that she is being held by him. "Put me down, I can walk." Li Fengjue doesn't even look at her, and says coldly, "Are you sure?" Yuexi feels that Li Fengjue is letting go of her slowly. He isn’t planning to throw her out, is he? Startled, she throws her arms around his neck subconsciously.
Li Fengjue cracks a smile and enters the villa. The maid has already served a whole table of dishes and left. Yuexi has already been so hungry that now she is about to faint. However, with her heavily bandaged hands, she could barely use chopsticks.
Only Li Fengjue and her are in the large living room right now. Li Fengjue feels comfortable, and eats in a relaxed way. But things are different with Yuexi. She tries a few times, but still cannot pick up the chopsticks. She looks at Li Fengjue with annoyance, and notices the teasing look on his face.
“You are not expecting me to feed you, are you?"
"Who wants you to feed me? I'd rather starve to death!" Yuexi says with dignity and turns her head away. She curls on the sofa, and ignores him. Quite a while later as she is about to drift off to sleep, she suddenly feels being watched. Looking up, she sees Li Fengjue pounce on her.
