Moreover, she had already seen through her; Sheng Aiyi was that type of woman with deep schemes, who, even when appearing warm and generous, actually had more tricks up her sleeve than anyone else. Itâs best to have less contact with such people to avoid being calculated against out of the blue.
Chi Enenâs indifferent attitude was quite apparent, and as long as one wasnât blind, one could see it. Yet Sheng Aiyi seemed to act as if she was blind, and with a slight smile, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Chi Enen.
âEnen seems to be in good spirits.â
âHmm.â
âDid you come to play here as well?â
âHmm.â
âWhy are you alone, didnât you come with friends?â
Chi Enen slightly frowned, looked at her, and didnât mince her words, âMiss Sheng, if you have something to say, just say it directly.â
She didnât believe that Sheng Aiyi was bored and genuinely concerned about her life.
Sheng Aiyi slightly smiled, flicked her beautifully manicured nails, âNothing much, I just havenât seen you in a long time and wanted to chat with you.â
Chi Enen waited for her to continue.
As expected, she continued, âThe scenery on the islands of Country W is quite nice, does Enen have any interest in going to Country W for a visit?â
Out of nowhere, why bring up Country W?
âI heard Madam Li saying that Beijue also went to Country W on a business trip the day before yesterday. Didnât you go together?â Sheng Aiyiâs tone was meaningful, intentionally saying half and leaving half unsaid.
Such a tone was enough to arouse suspicion, yet left no handle to grasp. Unfortunately, Chi Enen had long known about the affair between Li Beijue and Kim Zhiyuan, and of course, understood why Sheng Aiyi, despite seeing her reluctance to talk, still had the audacity to sit down and attempt something.
She was trying to sow discord.
A surge of repugnance suddenly rose in Chi Enenâs heart, âI didnât go.â
âYou didnât go, what a pity, I thought Beijue would have taken you with him. But I can understand, after all, he was going⦠on a business trip.â The words âbusiness tripâ sounded laden with implication no matter how one heard them.
Chi Enen pretended not to catch on and hummed a response.
A flash of annoyance crossed Sheng Aiyiâs eyes, but she held back due to the setting. She got up from her chair, âAlright, I wonât bother you anymore. Enen, you should visit Country W when you have the chance; the scenery there is really nice.â
Once Chi Enen sees the overwhelming news in Country W, she will realize she is but a plaything!
However, perhaps Chi Enen didnât even need to go to Country W at all; Young Master Li might have already grown tired of her, otherwise, why would Chi Enen be here alone?
Sheng Aiyi felt much more comfortable now and turned back.
Ji Ranran was still waiting for her not far away. Upon her approach, she asked, âWho was that woman?â
Sheng Aiyi was just about to speak when she saw Li Beijue approaching, surrounded by several people.
Ji Ranran also noticed him, her eyes brightened, and pulling at Sheng Aiyiâs arm, she gestured, âLook, itâs Young Master Li! Did you call him over?â
âIâ¦â
Ji Ranran had already dragged her to meet him and called out to Li Beijue, âYoung Master Li.â
Li Beijue was heading towards Chi Enen, and suddenly, a woman popped out from nowhere and stopped him in his tracks, his heroic eyebrows suddenly knit together in displeasure. Upon recognizing Sheng Aiyi, his face grew even darker, âWhatâs the matter?â
Ji Ranran quietly nudged Sheng Aiyi with her elbow, signaling her to speak.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Sheng Aiyi braced herself and said, âMaster Jue, did you come for horse riding? Madam said the day before yesterday that your equestrianism is top-notch; do you have time to join in a race sometime?â
Race what horses, what is this woman thinking? Li Beijue was becoming impatient.
Not far away, Chi Enen, who had been drinking water, had already walked over, naturally positioned herself next to Li Beijue, and clasping his arm, looked at Sheng Aiyi with neither arrogance nor servility, âIâm sorry, but he doesnât have time.â
