Chapter 40: Behaving Well
Proofread by Peter Gong
“Why are you still here?” Seeing that Li Fengjue is still lying on her bed, Yuexi hurries forward to drag him. Li Fengjue moves slightly and says in his lazy voice, “You are back. This bed is too small. It is also hard. Can you fall asleep on it?”
Yuexi frowns and puts forth her strength. “Then you go back to your own bed! Why do you occupy my bed!” Glancing at her lazily, Li Fengjue continues answering her in a lazy voice, “Can’t you speak to me nicely?” “What do you want from me? It’s all thanks to you that I have fallen into this circumstance. If I didn’t marry you, then these things wouldn’t even happen. I’m already being nice for not causing you more troubles!”
The more she talks, the angrier she becomes. With bigger movements of her chest, she even puts forth more strength to drag him. However, Li Fengjue is still lying there. Then, an evil smile shows on his face and he pulls Yuexi towards himself. She falls into his arms, and Yuexi’s heart beats very fast. She picks up the familiar smell of him and feels his warm breaths.
Li Fengjue can read her panic through her eyes. Therefore, when she wants to find an exit to leave, he holds her tight in his arms and refuses to let her go. “You let me go!” Yuexi tries to escape but is held tighter. “Hush, I won’t do anything to you. You just need to stay with me quietly. That’s enough.”
She is somehow calmed by his soft voice. It seems unlikely to be Li Fengjue’s voice. It is deep but gentle, like a lullaby. Knowing that she cannot escape, Yuexi has to stretch her body tightly and huddles in his arms. She asks in a dull voice, “Why are you here? I thought I had told you not to.”
Li Fengjue doesn’t answer, just looking down at the woman in his arms. His eyes show the ambiguous feelings. For a while, the only sound is their breathing. Nobody speaks a word, and Yuexi doesn’t even dare to move. Feeling the particular temperature of that man, she actually wants to reach out to hug him.
Yuexi is scared by her thoughts. She subconsciously looks up, looking straight into Li Fengjue’s deep eyes. His eyes are like a pool of deep water that cannot be seen through. Suddenly, Li Fengjue sits up and grabs her leg. Yuexi doesn’t react quickly. She is startled, screaming, “What are you going to do to me!”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Li Fengjue turns a deaf ear to her words, lifts her leg, and places it onto his own. Then he takes an ankle spray from his pocket and applies it onto her ankle. A sense of coolness makes Yuexi a little bit confused. She looks at Li Fengjue, feeling lost.
Seeing that Li Fengjue is carefully applying medicine to her ankle, Yuexi misses a heartbeat. Li Fengjue says nicely, “You live alone and never learn how to take good care of yourself. Your ankle has swollen like this. Don’t run around and just follow the advice of the doctor. Otherwise your feet will be ruined.”
Yuexi frowns. With her heart trembling, she looks at the spray in his hand and whispers, “You are only here to tell me this?” Li Fengjue breaks into her house, has a meal, and then lays on her bed, only because he wants to take care of her injury? What a company president he is!
Upon hearing this, Li Fengjue stops spraying and slowly raises his head. He smiles, and says in a funny way, “What? Are you touched by me?” Seeing his naughty face, Yuexi quickly retracts her feet and says, “There is no such thing as free lunch. You cannot be good to me for no reason. You must be up to something!”
“If I’m setting you up, you won’t even notice it!” Li Fengjue talks back to her. Glancing at him, Yuexi feels angry. “You don’t push me too hard!” Li Fengjue chuckles and puts the spray on the table. “I find it out easily that you are planning something against Xu familly. Even if you have fooled him this time, what if Xu Tianyun finds it out next time? You don’t have any power. It is almost impossible for you to plot against them.”
He takes a serious look at Yuexi and says it in a cold voice, “Besides, do you think you have made it? It is not even worth mentioning to the Xu family. If it weren’t for me to help you, do you think you could actually carry out your plan?” Even if what he says is true, Yuexi is planning something else on her own. Hearing Li Fengjue mentioning what happened last time, she suddenly feels furious.
“My plan was flawless. If it weren’t for you, I would have already gone to the hospital for gastric lavage. You don’t need to help me at all. You actually want to take advantage of me!” Li Fengjue smiles evilly, with his eyes on her. It seems that he is reliving some moments. Then he smiles says, “That’s not what you said that day. You should remember the way you cried. I should have just taken a video to record it, so, you have nothing to argue about. ”
Yuexi blushes, bites her lower lip, then says, “You are shameless!” Looking at her expression with satisfaction, Li Fengjue says leisurely, “You think your plan is flawless? It may lead you to another disaster! Things are complicated. Do you think you can control it all?”
Gritting her teeth, Yuexi stares at Li Fengjue with her bright eyes, and stubbornly says, “If anything goes wrong, it is none of your business! It would also be fine if I didn’t have sex with you, but with another man. As long as I can get what I want! ”
Li Fengjue frowns, with a clod look on his face, “You say that again?” Seeing his serious look, Yuexi at first wants to repeat what she says but ends up swallowing these words. They remain silent for a long while, looking at each other face to face. Yuexi sighs and finally speaks again, “Let’s not have a quarrel with each other, okay?”
“Every time we fight, you are always the unreasonable one!” Li Fengjue’s voice is cold. “Okay, you can blame it on me. I’ll tell you the last time. Since you don’t want a divorce, I won’t mention it again and we can maintain this relationship. You can do whatever you want and enjoy as many women as possible. I don’t mind it at all. But please don’t interfere with my life again.”
Looking up at her coldly, Li Fengjue says, “Since you are my wife, you should behave like a wife. I cannot endure such behaviors as betrayal.” Yuexi directly looks into his eyes and replies coldly, “How dare you want me to behave like a wife? Since we are married, you are my husband as well! Shouldn’t you behave like a faithful husband and cut off these relationships with other women?”
