âStop right there!â The girl saw her leaving and jumped up and down in her urgency, turning her face to fiercely tug at the man by her side, âHusband, 1 want that ring-â
The older man beside her seemed as if he hadnât heard anything, his face paling as he stared in terror at the conceited man.
His expression was as if he had seen a ghost!
Why was Young Master Li here?!
âHusband, are you going to let them bully me like this? I want that ring- I want it! Help me snatch it back-â The girl was both angry and anxious, incessantly urging him.
Li Beijue finally took notice of the older man by her side. Holding Chi Enenâs hand, he advanced towards the man, his thin lips curving into a smile that wasnât quite a smile, âPresident Huang?â
âLi, Young Master Li.â The boss who had just been arrogantly smirking now twitched at the corner of his mouth, hurriedly shaking off the woman clinging to him causing trouble, beads of sweat the size of beans forming on his forehead, he bowed and scraped, his smile apologetic, âI didnât realize this Miss was acquainted with Young Master Li, 1 have offended greatly, please forgive my impertinence.â
How did he end up so unlucky to bump into such a major figure while taking his lover to the Ryukyu Islands for a play?
And to have provoked him, no less.
Thinking of the legendary temper of Master Jue, his legs went weak.
âI donât recall you offending me.â The tone was as cold as it could be.
He was, after all, the boss of a big company, and he had that level of insight. Instantly realizing his error, regardless of his own dignity, he bowed deeply to Chi Enen, smiling apologetically, âMiss, my sincere apologies, I failed to recognize Taishan Mountain before me, just now I offended you. Iâm sorry.â âDoes the Miss fancy the ring? I have a Tourmaline tail ring at home. If the Miss likes it, once we return to Rainy City, I will have it sent to you right away.â
No sooner had his words fallen than his little lover immediately cried out in shock, âHusband, why are you apologizing to her with a gift? Werenât you going to give that tail ring to me?â
âShut your mouth!â The portly man desperately wiped his sweat, pushing her away, âGet lost!â
In the blink of an eye, he put on a different face, his smile utterly obsequious as he looked at Chi Enen, his voice awkward, âMiss, never mind her, if you are interested after returning to Rainy City⦠no, no, thatâs not right. If the Miss is interested, Iâll have the ring airlifted to you immediately.â
âHusband, I disagree! Thatâs my ring, you said youâd give it to me. Why should she have it?â the little lover raged on, unable to contain herself.
A deadly look flashed through Li Beijueâs dark eyes, grazing the manâs face, his thin lips brushing together, âHeh, my woman doesnât have the habit of using second-hand things. You keep that ring for yourself.â
Having said that, he walked away with Chi Enen in tow.
Huang Yaozu broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, instinctively chasing after them, âYoung Master Li, please, hear my explanationâ¦â
His little lover still hadnât grasped the situation, muttering under her breath with a sneer, âPretentious asshole, treating that woman like some treasure. I donât believe sheâs never used second-hand stuff before!â
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard the portly old man bellow.
âShut up!â
Used to being pampered by him, the little lover always got her way, whether she wanted wind or rain. This was the first time he had roared at her so viciously, and before so many people at that, she immediately pouted defiantly, retorting, âItâs true, and Iâm not wrong. If youâre so rich, why shop at a roadside stall?â
âYou!â He trembled with rage, unsure of Chi Enenâs wealth but knowing for certain that Beijue wielded immense power and was enormously wealthy!
Thinking that he had just offended such a person, he was both angry and anxious, his eyes red as he slapped his little lover across the face, âBrainless thing, youâve ruined me, get lost!â
The little lover was stunned by the strike. Covering her face with her hand, her watery eyes immediately reddened; she looked at him with a pitiful expression, âHusband, did you hit me?â
âWhoâs your husband? I have nothing to do with you now,â he said, and with that, he walked away.
The little lover was thrown into panic and cried out, chasing after him..
