Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 334

Ye Xi was awakened by the heat. The person next to her was roasting her like a furnace. In addition, she was sweating a lot, so she was hot and thirsty.

She pushed Wei Jue, the stove, away with great force, and the loud movement woke him up.

Wei Jue mumbled in a daze, "What's wrong?" His voice was hoarse and lazi.

"It's hot. I want to drink some water." Ye Xi struggled to get up, but was held down by Wei Jue.

"Wait."

After Wei Jue finished speaking, he got out of bed, went to the door and whispered a few words to the people guarding outside. Ye Xi couldn't hear clearly.

After a while, the person who left came back and handed something to Wei Jue. Then Wei Jue brought warm tea to Ye Xi's mouth and fed her.

She was not used to this and wanted to reach out to take the teacup but Wei Jue refused and insisted on holding it and feeding her.

Ye Xi remembered that the last time he was so considerate was when she was in confinement after childbirth.

At that time, she was weak, and a constant stream of supplements were delivered to her dining table. When he stayed in her room at night, he often got up at night to feed her water.

Ye Xi looked at Wei Jue while drinking water. He was a few years older than her, and despite having been exposed to the sun and rain on the border battlefield for several years, his appearance had not changed much.

The last time he brought Wei Ye to see her, he was still tanned. Now his skin tone has become lighter and his skin has gradually returned to its former delicate state.

Ye Xi felt that God was unfair. A grown man didn't need such preferential treatment.

On the contrary, she fiddled with her skin all day long, but still got older day by day.

She didn't quite understand. She was already old and ugly, so why was he still as passionate as when he first met her?

Maybe it's for the best that she can't get it. If she had stuck to him like a fly at the beginning, maybe the situation today wouldn't be like this.

"Why are you staring at me? Are you fascinated by me?"

Wei Jue also felt Ye Xi's gaze. Although it was not what he expected, she was willing to look him in the eye.

"..." Ye Xi rolled her eyes at him. She felt that she had made her meaning very clear, which was to despise his narcissistic behavior.

But this little roll of the eyes made Wei Jue feel that she was extremely cute. She was not like this when she followed him in the past few years. As he watched her, his heart moved and his whole body began to feel hot again.

"Don't..." Ye Xi's voice gradually disappeared.

As night fell, Ye Xi, wearing a veil hat, dragged her tired body out of the government office. She had "wasted" an entire afternoon with someone.

Wei the beast actually wanted her to stay in the office overnight, but she didn't want to and refused directly.

After Wei Jue was satisfied, he did not make things difficult for her. After all, there was a gap in their social status, which made it seem like they were having an affair. Wei Jue was very unhappy about this, but he had no other choice for the time being.

After all, her parents are in Hangzhou City, and it would be embarrassing for her if everyone knew about it.

After returning home, Ye Xi despised herself bitterly. In order to dispel Wei Jue's murderous intention towards Pei Zhu, she gave him everything he wanted in exchange for Pei Zhu's safety.

God knows how panicked she was when she saw Wei Jue when she stepped out of Shaluo Pavilion. She pretended to be calm but she was actually scared to death in her heart.

Wei Jue's expression was so horrifying that she thought he was going to kill Pei Zhu on the spot the next moment.

The next day, Ye Xi explained to the Ye family that she wanted to cancel her engagement with Pei Zhu.

The Ye family was very surprised, and she didn't want to hide it, so she explained the reason directly.

The entire Ye family was silent, including her eldest sister-in-law Ling.

Although Ling was very happy that her sister-in-law was on the list of the powerful official again, it was still not very glorious for such a thing to happen in her husband's family.
