Hearing this, Bai Yuexi felt as if someone poured cold water on him from head to toe. His entire body felt like it had been frozen, and the last bit of warmth in her heart instantly disappeared.
She withdrew her gaze, turned around silently with her back facing Li Fengjue, and did not speak anymore.
Li Fengjue, who was behind her, also stared at her without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps came from within the room. Bai Yuexi's slender fingers grabbed onto a corner of the blanket as a single tear silently flowed down the corner of her eye.
Chen Ying was right, whoever was in love with him first would lose. Moreover, there had never been a relationship between the two of them before, at least for Li Fengjue, she had never been in her heart before.
After staying in the hospital for half a month, whenever Chen Ying had time, she would come to take care of her. Ren Jin was also very happy to go to her hospital room, as a few of his colleagues from the company often came to visit her.
On the contrary, Li Fengjue had never appeared again since then.
Until she left the hospital and met Li Fengjue again, he expressionlessly brought her to the carriage, his destination being Fengdu.
Bai Yuexi understood that Li Fengjue's patience had already reached its limit, which was why she was so impatient to bring her back home.
After three months, she once again arrived at the Li Family, and looked at the many overlapping houses.
Everything was like a dream. She could still clearly see everything that happened before she came here. She did not like it here.
After being brought into the great hall, it was like he was being interrogated in three halls. Li Fengjue's grandfather, Li Ting, sat upright on the seat directly above, and on his two sides of his hands sat Li Fengjue's parents, Li Ao and Bai Zhu.
Li Fengjue went straight to the point, his expression cold: "I brought him here."
Li Ya stood up, walked forward and affectionately held Bai Yuexi's hand, "It's a long journey, do you want to rest first?"
Bai Yuexi coldly glanced at her, then withdrew her hand with incomparable disgust as she coldly replied, "No need."
"I wonder what sort of charm you have that could cause even a noble to be enchanted, to actually cripple Xu Tianyun's hand for you!"
He didn't do it for me, he did it for himself.
Of course, Bai Yuexi would never say those words, even if she said them, they would only cause people to feel annoyed.
She lowered her head silently, not saying a word.
Li Fengjue coldly stood at the side and didn't explain.
On the contrary, Li Fengye was the one who spoke up for her, "Ah Jue is also not the type of person who would be brainless and impulsive if someone instigates him. Since the two of them are married, Bai Yuexi is our Li Family's daughter-in-law.
Li Ting's expression was unhappy as he coldly swept Li Fengjue with his gaze, "You don't have to speak up for him. He was spoiled since he was young, and only knows how to stir up trouble everywhere; he doesn't care about our Li Family at all!"
Bai Zhu saw that the Old Master Li was about to lose his temper and quickly stood forward to save him, "This matter has already happened. Since it's a foregone conclusion, I can see that Bai Yuexi is pretty smart.
"Since you guys are already married, we can't say much. Your big brother and Li Ya didn't have any children, so you guys should work harder now. When the children are born, you guys can think about getting married later!"
Bai Yuexi had been standing at the side silently the entire time. Listening to their words, they seemed to be able to accept her, but they had to have a child.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Li Ya was seated uneasily, and the expression on her face became even more unsettled. His eyes were staring straight at Bai Yuexi, as if he wanted to see through her.
For a long time, the only sound that remained in the hall was that of silence, and everyone was waiting for Li Fengjue's answer.
He turned to look at Bai Yuexi and snorted, "You want to give birth to a child from her? How can such a woman be worthy of me? "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They all frowned and looked at him.
Li Jun frowned, "What do you mean by that?" Didn't you have to marry her? "
Li Fengjue slowly walked forward and extended his hand to pinch Bai Yuexi's chin, and laughed mockingly, "She is such a beautiful woman, walking on the streets with a bunch of her own hands, and they have even been divorced before. The reason I was with her was only to obtain Xu Family, and now that my goal has been achieved, this woman is useless."
He ruthlessly released her chin, his pitch-black pupils became ice-cold. Bai Yuexi looked at herself in his eyes and felt extremely embarrassed.
This was the answer she had always wanted to hear, but why was her heart in such pain?
To him, their marriage was just an excuse. He had retired, but to Bai Yuexi, who had lost the most precious thing in her possession, her heart felt empty, as if a strong gale had passed through it. Even her breathing felt painful.
Li Fengye stood up, and his gaze locked onto Li Fengjue as he asked, "So you guys don't have any feelings for each other when you get married?"
"Heh, you can't be thinking that my eyes are so bad that they would fall for a woman like her, right?" The corner of Li Fengjue's eyes was filled with disgust, as he looked at her in disdain.
Li Fengye's brows tightly knitted, while wild joy flashed across the eyes of the Li Ya beside him. It seemed that Li Fengjue's parents and grandfather had not yet recovered from their shock.
Bai Yuexi retracted her gaze, her expression calm as she looked at them, and explained, "I know that my appearance makes you guys feel uncomfortable, and you guys also hate me. I apologize first, but I have joined up with him to deceive you guys.
She paused for a moment, and turned to look at Li Fengjue. That familiar face was expressionless as she stood there, as if she was listening to someone else.
She suddenly laughed, "From today onwards, I will no longer disturb Li Fengjue, you all can rest assured."
After saying that, Bai Yuexi retracted her gaze, turned and left, but her wrist was still pulled.
Bai Yuexi's heart tightened and she stopped moving. Before she could turn her head around, her hand was holding onto a card and she heard a cold voice coming from behind him.
"This is my reward for you. Without the password, I will get Liu Rui to send the divorce agreement to you."
Bai Yuexi's slender fingers held onto the card tightly, she really wanted to turn her head and throw the card in his face, telling him that she did not need it!
However, she didn't. Since they were married for the purpose of using each other, she wouldn't be so coy as to not accept his money. Since they were married in such a way that they were unrelated, she would accept and accept this result.
After putting the card back into her pocket, Bai Yuexi turned around with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
