Bab 34: Chapter 34 Chasing Fei Mo!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yun Yiyi looked at Zhang Xue'er speechlessly. After a while, she said, "Come on, just because he's rich, it doesn't mean I'm rich."
"Yiyi, isn't he your husband? You're married. How can you draw a line so clearly between both of you?"
"..."
"Yiyi, you're just too independent and proud. It's not a shameful thing to rely on a man. Furthermore, you're relying on your husband. It's only normal."
"..."
"Yiyi, all men like girls who are docile. If you act coquettishly in front of Fei Mo, I'm sure he won't be able to bear parting with you..."
"..."
Zhang Xue'er sighed as she looked at Yun Yiyi enviously. "I'm so envious of you. If I married as well as you, I wouldn't have to worry for the rest of my life. I would definitely live comfortably as a young madam and travel the world. How happy would I be then?"
"You don't know the details of my marriage to Fei Mo." Yun Yiyi thought about her marriage with Fei Mo and could not help but feel a pang of helplessness.
"You're already married… What other details could there be?" Xue'er looked at Yun Yiyi in confusion.
"The fact is before I divorced Gu Jingyan, I wasn't acquainted with Fei Mo at all," Yun Yiyi said with a complicated gaze.
"What? You didn't know him prior to your divorce? Then how did you get married so fast?" Xue'er was suitably shocked. She had thought Yun Yiyi was acquainted with Fei Mo from before. Who knew they had only gotten to know each other so recently?
Fei Mo was a legendary figure in Jiang City. Someone like that actually married Yun Yiyi even though they were not familiar with each other. This was simply too strange for her to fathom.
Yun Yiyi let out a long sigh before she told Zhang Xue'er about her marriage of convenience to Fei Mo. Apart from the fact she had given her first time Fei Mo, she did not hold back and told Zhang Xue'er everything.
Zhang Xue'er was dumbfounded when she heard this. She stared at Yun Yiyi silently for a long time before she said, "Yiyi, no matter what the circumstances were when you got married, there's no changing the fact that both of you are married. It's fortunate that you think quite highly of him. Moreover, he doesn't have anyone in his heart. He's someone who's leagues above other men; he definitely won't be able to bring himself to chase you. Why don't you chase him?"
"..." Yun Yiyi was speechless. "What kind of strange suggestion is that?"
"Strange suggestion? It's obviously the best suggestion!" Zhang Xue'er looked at Yun Yiyi and solemnly said, "Chase Fei Mo, and obtain his heart. After that, all your problems will be solved."
"No." Yun Yiyi firmly rejected Xue'er's suggestion. "We have an agreement, after all."
"A contract is lifeless, but a person is alive. Moreover, there's nothing wrong with chasing him since both of you are already married." Zhang Xue'er tried to persuade Yun Yiyi.
"I'm the one who proposed the deal… How can I go back on my words? What would he think of me then?"
Zhang Xue'er sighed. "I don't think it's that bad. Where's the contract? Let me see the contract"
Yun Yiyi was stunned. Speaking of the contract, she thought about her drunken night with Fei Mo again, and how he had burned the contract. After a while, she honestly said, "Fei Mo didn't sign the contract. In the end, he even burned it..."
"Burned it?" Zhang Xue'er widened her eyes in surprise. "Why did he burn the contract?"
"How would I know why he burned the contract?" Yun Yiyi said. Naturally, she could not tell Zhang Xue'er that Fei Mo had burned the contract because they had slept together, and Fei Mo intended to take the responsibility.
"Since the contract has been burned, it means that you're no longer tied to the agreements. What are you worried about then? Chase him! He's such a good man, but you refuse to chase him. Do you intend to leave him to another woman?"
"..."
"Seriously, Yiyi. If I were you, I'd definitely chase him even if there were a contract." Zhang Xue'er continued to persuade Yun Yiyi. "Moreover, you're already married. You're the official wife. What's wrong with chasing your husband?"
"..."
"An opportunity like that doesn't come knocking twice," Zhang Xue'er said anxiously when she saw Yun Yiyi keeping quiet, "It'd be a waste if you don't chase such a good man. Trust me. After five years, when you regain your freedom, I can guarantee you wouldn't be able to find another man like him! Therefore, don't hesitate and boldly chase him!"
"Can you say something more reliable?" Yun Yiyi protested weakly. In fact, she was rather swayed by Xue'er's words. Whether Fei Mo had a female companion or not, it was true that she was legally his wife. No one could change that. It was just that she could not get over the hurdle in her heart. They had an agreement, after all. Moreover, she was the one who approached him and proposed the agreement. If she went back on her words, how would Fei Mo view her? He definitely would not view her in a positive light. What different was she from those other women who used everything in their means to climb into his bed? She did not want him to think badly of her.
Indeed, she had a good impression of Fei Mo. There was no doubt he was like a dragon among men. However, who knew if Fei Mo felt the same way?
"My words are not reliable?" Zhang Xue'er pouted. "I'm saying this for your own good."
"Alright, I'll handle my own matters." Yun Yiyi said before she hurriedly changed the topic. "Since I can't sell the car, can you help me sell it?"
Zhang Xue'er was not distracted by Yun Yiyi's attempt to change the topic. "I'm afraid that not only would you not be able to deal with your matter, but you'd lose such a good man as well. Regardless, you have to be more caring toward him and spend more time with him. Act coyly if you can, and call him more often. Understand?"
"..."
"Alright, alright. Don't look at me with those unhappy eyes. I'll help you sell the car. Don't worry and accompany Fei Mo. It's best if you hook up with him," Zhang Xue'er said.
...
After dinner, Yun Yiyi went to Zhang Xue'er's house.
Zhang Xue'er's house was far from the city. It was a single bedroom and single bathroom apartment. It was suitable for living alone.
After Yun Yiyi took a shower, she placed her box of documents in a corner of Zhang Xue'er's bedroom. Then, she took out Lulu, her beloved potted plant, and watered it.
"Xue'er, when I'm not around, you have to help me look after Lulu. Don't let her die."
Zhang Xue'er dropped the freshly-cut fruit in her hand when she saw Yun Yiyi who was dressed in satin pajamas that revealed her graceful figure. Her eyes were brimming with shock as she asked, "Yiyi, why are there so many... marks on your body..."
Yun Yiyi, who was focused on Lulu, froze immediately. She had forgotten about the marks! How was she going to explain herself to Zhang Xue'er?
