At that time, she never imagined there would be a day like today, when she would meet this man again and fall for him once more.
The mother of Li Beijue must have a terrible impression of her now. What should she do?
Seemingly sensing her nervousness, Li Beijue grabbed her hand abruptly, pulling her to him and forcing her to look up, âWhat are you afraid of? Youâre not a criminal, youâre my, Li Beijueâs, woman! Do you think I canât even protect my own woman?â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts!â
Li Beijue turned to look at Huo Yi with an unfriendly demeanor, his eyebrows furrowed and his voice icy cold, âSince when does she call the shots here? She says meet, and I meet? No meeting!â
âMaster Jue, Madam just returned from Country Y,â Huo Yi spoke with significant implicationâ¦
Chi Enen didnât quite understand why Butler Huo stressed Country Y, but he surely didnât mention it casually.
Sure enough.
The man, who had been uncooperative, had his handsome face darkening, and it seemed that something was stirring in his falcon-like eyes.
Chi Enen could even feel his grip on her hand tighten, causing her knuckles to ache from the pressure.
But Li Beijue seemed completely oblivious to her discomfort, as cold as the icebergs of Siberia, he lifted his chin arrogantly, âSo what?â
âMaybe, let Madam see Miss Chi?â
âNo seeing!â
Donât think he didnât know what that woman was up to. To meet, it sounds pleasant enough, but she simply wanted to strip Chi Enen of even her bone.
Chi Enen was not that clever to begin with; she would definitely not be a match for her.
âMadam came straight here from the airplane, looking very exhaustedâ¦â
Li Beijue gave him a look, his eyebrows even more tightly furrowed, as if they could kill a fly. After a moment, he let go of Chi Enenâs hand, his voice frosty, âTake her away, Iâll go see her.â
âMadam said she wants to see Miss Chiâ¦â Butler Huo couldnât help but remind him.
Li Beijue, who rarely compromised, would not give in further. His eyes turned frosty, merciless, âI will not let her see Chi Enen!â
âAs for me, she can see me or not, as she pleases.â
ââ¦â Butler Huo closed his mouth, retreating to the side respectfully.
Chi Enen took a deep breath and mustered her courage to tug at his hand, suggesting softly, âLi Beijue, perhaps I should meet with Aunt.â
The falcon-like eyes of Li Beijue darkened as he tightened his hold on her hand, âDonât go. Do you really think she wants to see you? She only has one purpose todayâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTo persuade me to leave you?â Chi Enen interjected, about to say she wouldnât leave, âIâ¦â
âShut up!â Li Beijue snapped, as if he knew what she was going to say, his face dark as he pushed her towards Huo Yi, âKeep a close eye on her for me.â
Then he strode away with long legs towards the VIP ward down the corridor.
â¦
The VIP ward, though called a ward, is actually quite different from what one usually imagines a ward to be; itâs more fitting to call it a five-star suite.
At the moment, a beautiful and noble woman is being surrounded by nurses, enjoying her fruit tea on the iffoviwecr customised sofa.
Sheâs well-preserved, appearing to be just in her early thirties, with every move exuding an indescribable charm of a mature woman.
Even surrounded by a group of twenty-something nurses, she outshone them all, being the immediate focus of everyoneâs attention.
The moment he entered, Lu Yaqi saw him. Her eyes, still unmarked by the passage of time, sparkled with joy as she swiftly stood up and approached him, âBeijue.â
