She kissed him as if their lips merely brushed against each other, and like getting an electric shock from the brief contact, she thought to run.
Li Beijue couldnât possibly give her the chance to escape. His large hand hooked around her waist, pulling her close to himself, his thin lips capturing the little ladyâs soft ones that sought to flee, deepening the kiss.
He kissed her with unprecedented gentleness, nearly drowning her in it.
After what seemed like an eternity, he breathed heavily with restrained patience before finally releasing Chi Enen. But he still held her by the neck, his forehead against Chi Enenâs, and said, âChi Enen, come back to Rainy City with me.â
Chi Enen instinctively asked, âWhat for?â
The last place she wanted to go was Rainy City, because thatâs where the person she least wanted to meet was.
âWhat are you afraid of when Iâm with you?â Li Beijue didnât specify the reason for the trip, his falcon-like eyes dominantly locking onto her pupils.
Chi Enen pressed her lips together and looked at him, âWhen do we leave?â
âWeâll set off in a bit. Iâve had Huo Yi make the arrangements,â said Li Beijue, raising his head but still holding her waist. âAs for that woman next door, the police will be here soon.â
With that, Chi Enen knew heâd heard what she said to Chi Ya. Normally, she would be furious about being monitored, but maybe it was because of what heâd just saidâshe wasnât as angry about his controlling actions. She simply glared at him and demanded, âI want to bring Baby Chi with me.â
Li Beijue frowned, clearly disinclined, âWhy bring him along? Iâll have someone look after him.â
âNo, I must take Baby Chi with me, or else I wonât go.â
She had promised Baby Chi she would not leave him behind again. An adultâs promise must be kept, otherwise it would be detrimental to a childâs growth.
Besides, Baby Chi had been her sole companion from a young age. Except for the time she returned to Rainy City earlier, they had never been apart. She wasnât used to being away from Baby Chi either.
Her stance was firm, and though Li Beijue was reluctant, he eventually gave in, âIâll have Huo Yi pick him up.â
âGood,â Chi Enen knew he would agree, her face breaking into a smile.
The addition of a âlight bulbâ to his own plans wasnât exactly pleasing to Li Beijue, but seeing her smile made all his displeasure evaporate.
Forget it, he wouldnât argue with her today.
After all, who could bear to see her upset?
Li Beijueâs previously furrowed brows relaxed as he said to her, âI have a meeting before we depart, and youâ¦â
âIâll go down to work,â Chi Enen volunteered.
Li Beijueâs face darkened as he grabbed her wrist, âWho said you could go down? When Iâm in the meeting, Iâll have my secretary arrange a seat for you, and you will sit beside me and wait.â
ââ¦â This arrangement reminded her of the stool he had arranged for her in Country W.
Chi Enen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but a certain person was too forceful, treating his decision as if it had been a consultation, and in the blink of an eye, had already made the phone call to have his secretary arrange it.
â¦
The meeting lasted two and a half hours, during which Chi Enen sat beside him, utterly bored for the entire duration.
Finally, the meeting was over.
The phone from Huo Yiâs internal line rang, âMaster Jue, the Little Young Master and I are waiting downstairs.â
âHmm.â
Li Beijue pulled open his shirt collar, grabbed the notebook authoritatively, and took hold of Chi Enenâs hand, his handsome and noble face commanding, âLetâs go.â
