Chapter 412: 412: We Got Married

She examined Li Beijue up and down as if trying to bore a hole with her gaze, her eyes brimming with pride and joy, and she couldn’t stop asking, “How have you been these past two months? Is work too tiring?”

“I’ve been doing well without you.”

What he meant was that his life got worse when she showed up.

Lu Yaqi was long accustomed to his way of speaking, and didn’t take offense at all. She gracefully and dignifiedly had the nurses leave the ward, and once the room was empty, she cast a meaningful glance around it and said, “What about Miss Chi? Didn’t she come back with you?”

Li Beijue sidestepped her question and sat down directly on the sofa, his posture casual, “Speak, what are you here for?”

“I want to see Miss Chi.”

“See her for what?”

Lu Yaqi didn’t beat around the bush. She sat down on the sofa opposite him, took a sip of the fruit tea from the table, and elegantly placed the cup back before speaking in a calm and unhurried tone, “I want to know if Miss Chi still honors her contracts, why she took the money and went back on her word.”

She remained unfazed by the suddenly cold air in the room, looking straight into Li Beijue’s eyes, “Beijue, you should know about the 5 million she took from me.”

“So what if I know?” Li Beijue’s handsome face tensed.

He had said he wouldn’t dwell on the past anymore, and he meant it!

But hearing it stated so bluntly—that Chi Enen had left him for the money—Li Beijue still felt uncomfortable!

Lu Yaqi poured him a cup of fruit tea and continued, “I just think she’s not right for you. Did she persuade you to give her the Xingyao annual endorsement?”

If it hadn’t been for Ai Yi finding her, she wouldn’t have known that Chi Enen had returned to her son’s side.

For such a long time, she hadn’t heard a whisper of it.

“How do you know about Xingyao? Who told you?” Li Beijue said with a hint of sarcasm, “Sheng Aiyi?”

“It was Ai Yi who told me, but isn’t what she said the truth?” Lu Yaqi appealed to his reason and emotions, “Beijue, Miss Chi is with you just for your money and status, not because she likes you. Don’t you understand that?”

“You haven’t seen me in so long, and the first thing you do is come here to say this?” Li Beijue asked her with disappointment.

Lu Yaqi was caught off guard by his question and furrowed her brows, “I’m just concerned about you, afraid you’re being deceived.”

“So what! My money, my identity, it’s all me!” He was dominant and rough, “I don’t care why she’s with me, even if it’s for money, for my status. I can afford it!”

Lu Yaqi’s elegant eyes were filled with shock, disbelief.

Five years ago, although Beijue liked Chi Enen, it hadn’t reached this extent. She had paid Chi Enen to leave, and indeed he had been upset for a period of time, but as time passed, it seemed not to matter much.

Now, how could he…

It was like he had settled on that woman!

Li Beijue paid no mind to what she thought, stood up, his face tense, his thin lips uttered, “I’ll have Huo Yi transfer 50 million to your account, as interest for these five years.”

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Yaqi finally couldn’t help but call out to him, “Beijue, the Old Master already knows about her existence. Once the Old Master looks into her background, he won’t agree to your being together!”

Li Beijue stopped in his tracks and, without turning his head, said, “We’re married.”

Having said that, he ignored the astonished expression on Lu Yaqi’s face, opened the door, and walked out…
